Christ in thee the hope of glory.
Shout His praise from sea to sea-
Tell with joy the gospel story
How from sin He set thee free.

How in trials and Affections
Jesus doeth all things well.
Christ in thee the hope of glory.
Let it thrill thy soul with love;
Let 1t make each moment brighter
With radiance from above.

the fact was recalled that the preacher in

quite as pointed as that chosen by the Rev.
