speaks of the rain MS "sent" Now
believe that the Lord would have senr

reason for not answering some prayers.

MORE ABOUT THE GLEN

We arc informed that the Town
Council at some meeting passed a re-
solution to purchase the glen and
bond the Borough for 1925, that
being the limit to which they could
go, to pay for it in part The bal
ance 81, 175 to be raised by subscrip-
tions OF donations. This resolution
was submitted to the Chief Burgess
who declined to approve it and filed
the following reasons:
To THE HONORABLE THE Town
COUNCIL OF MILFORD BoRoUGH =
GENTLEMEN - | herewith return
with my objections thereto, your re.
solution, passed July z, 1897
Objection First. - The Preamble
is not clear as to whether there is tc
be a consideration ON the part OF
the Borough for the portion lying
in Dingman township.
Objection Second. - The price
stipulated (viz. 81, $3.50 for the por
tion lying in the Borough, is greatly
in excess of its value.
Objection Third-It is not cleal
to me whether the Borough authori
ties have the legal" right to pos
sess or control property outside Of
the Corporate limits.
We suggest now that a Villag,
Improvement Society be organized
which shall take such steps toward
the purchase of the glen as may b,
proper, and if it can be secured at
reasonable figure. there is littl,
doubt but that with the subscrip
tions which might be obtained, anc
the proceeds of fairs and other pos
sible methods of raising money i
could soon be paid for

events, for instance to Jonah in
Mathew XII 40 to Sodom and Go
mo1rah in Mathew X Is to Lot in
Luke XVII 20, etc. These instan.
ces could be multiplied.
The personality of Jesus Christ
has never been doubted, what some
infidels may have Thought as to His
claim, that He be the Son Of God, :"
we will not touch upon, but let us
remember that the carnal mind can
not understand spiritual and divine
things. But we have the testimony
of men who were not Christians, but
who expressed their admiration as
to the parity of Christ's moral
character in the highest terms in
which man is able to express him
self. For the Christian Jesus Christ
is the son of God the Father, He is
of the same numerical substance.
He is our only comfort in life and
death, for Sin Him we live and
move and have our being"
To the Christian it makes very lit
tie difference whether those six days
mentioned in Gen. I were six days of
2l hours each or periods of indef-
nate length. But he rests as as
suredly in the words of Christ in
the testimony which He has given
in regard to the Holy Scriptures IN
that they are not the words of man S
wisdom but the words Of the Al
mighty, Living Eternal and Personal
God
In conclusion let me say a few
words as to the Bible itself. Lyman
Abbott in one of his lectures made
the following remark "God does
not dwell in book, but rather in
the hearts of His children, and the
more human the Bible il, the more
divine 1t Is.
A church elder and ex-Judge asks
(which shall we believe DR.. Abbott
or the Prophet jeremiah, who says
.'Thus says the Lord cursed be the
IN n that u u3teth in man and maketh
his arm flesh and whose heart de
parteth from the Lord go the heart

The scriptures can defend them
selves for they are the words of tho
Almighty and Jesus Christ is ere.
