Years been pastor Of the leading Presbyterian

that the Fngiewood church called him he received
an invitation TO become the pastor ot one OF the

text from St. Luke. Y, / The people pressed upon
him To hear the word OF God" The preacher
spoke I'm part as follows:
1T H. sometimes said that Christ came To be the
Gospel not to speak IT, There Is truth in
that statement. But from first TO last Jesus was "A
preacher. and wherever people could be brought
together He was always ready to preach the truth
from His spoken word. And He was. too. what
might be known popular preacher, drawing
multitudes to hang upon His llps. His preaching
was in truth the wonder OF His day Never man
spalIe Ike this man And all the centuries since
have not produced successor or even a compet-
tor Of Jesus a speaker of truth
And what was II that gave this preaching this
power? First then consider what Christ said
that ls the matter OF his preaching This may be-
divided into three general topics new ana won
derful doctrine OF God new and wonderful doc
