JONAH AND THE FISH.
AT Epwor;h NJ. z. church Sunday

on Jonah and the Fish. or Christ"
IN his address the doctor deplored the
fact that SO much valuable time was
given TO the discussion, in the pulpit
and outside Of 1t, Of questions and prob
lens, the deciding Of which can be Of no
benefit to any one in any way what
ever. He made Il strong plea for more
Christ in the church, In business, and
IN politics. and said that the trouble
believe in Christ, but that they did not
live like him. incidentally. DR.. Young
paid his respects to creeds, saying there
was too much attention paid to creets
and too little to Christ. Speaking OF
The threatened prosecution Of John
Watson Gan AlcLaren) on the charge
Of being unorthordoN. DR.. Young said
that John Watson had more Of Christ
In his heart and was JUST as orthodox
ms those who accused him. AT this
point the doctor quoted John Calvin
rs an example. sayinf that had there
been less Of creed and more Of Christ
In Calvin's heart, Seryitus would not
have gone to the stake. The same, he
showed, was true IN the case Of all The
erueft!es practiced in the name Of
Christianity since the birth OF Christ
