It was ALWAYS n great treat r.
hear our rector preach. He was no,
usually elOuurnt as have said
nor did he show mucb learning in
his sermons. save indirectly nv that
clearncss of thought and stvle
which heSDcall n thoroupb CRASH ot
the subject. But somehow if was
imDossible TO he inattentiye while
he was in the pulpit. for every word
had n simple force of ITS o,yn-ap-
cry word was spoken as by one who
felt that he had a message to deliv-
er and longed that every one in the
church should hear it, for he loved
them, and it was for their good.
But on that particular Sunday
evening that | am to write about he
was ut his very best. Standing up
III his nigh pulpit, with the candle
night SHINING on his kindly face and
silver haIr, he looked down silently
Tor space upon the congregation
scattered over the large church be
low as II were breathing n dumb
blessing over them before he gave
out MS simple text, Little chill
ureh, love one another. l Will not
Try 10 reproduce what he sad. Its
lhdehnaole charm lay not 80 much
III inc WORDS as IN the strange, sym
p"thetic thrill OF the musical voice,
III 'he kihulihg glow OF the eloqunt
lace as nc lhsiS'cd that christianity
"lthout charl'y Is nothing and I'M
Piore'i HIS hearers 10 beware or
harsh Judgments 10 lay aside envy,
spite ana hatfed' 10 be merclfui and
ready 10 forgive
1t was Al well worn text, an old,
old subject, the theme of many a
splendid orator, bat never has it
