tor of Mountain View NJ. E. church read
an interesting paper on THE Preaching
Demanded by the Times" In substance
he said:
How different the times of to-day from

eight weeks till he reached southwestern
Kentucky. where he took up a section of
land and built him house. Who would
think of starting out on such a journey
to-day?

mode of travel, but in every way How
ditterent the men of to-day from the faith
ers. Time brings changes and men
change the times. Only Jesus Christ. the
Son of God, is the same yesterday. to-
DAY and forever 1t is said that genera

IN which all men resemble each other-it
is that they are all different.
