morning and night. His sermons were
strong and forceful and he made glad
all who heard him. Mr.. Setter is quite
a young man to occupy SO important
pastorate, but his sermons here lndi-
cate that he is equal to the work.
Rather tall, with long arms and pierre
ing eyes, most pleasing enunciation, a
strong, clear voice, OF easy and grace
full gesture, Mr.. Setter easily claims
the attention of his audience from the
very first, and SO finds it easy to speak
with proper preparation, which his SER
mons Sunday showed he had made.
There was nothing stiff on the cut-and
dried-order, but an easy flow OF lang
uage conveying clear thought in a way
that showed the speaker was filled with
the subject. We have no space for an
analysis of the sermons. In the morn
ing he preached from the circumstance
of the burning bush which Moses saw,
giving the gospel in the burning bush,
the mystery in the burning bush and
the mission of the burning bush. At
night he preached from the words,
"Where is He?" The question referred
to Christ, and the speaker beautifully
pointed out where Christ has: been found
in the past, is found now and may be
found in the future. He touchingly
showed that one OF the sweetest real
izations of touch with Christ is in the
field OF service. The audiences were
delighted with the service and Scotland
Neck people will be glad to see and hear
Mr.. Setter again.
