CLERGYMAN.
Has Expanded U.s." Says
Bishop G. IL. Fowler.
A Powerful Sermon on Expansion and
the Duties of the Hour, Preached
by the Noted Methodist Divine.

All men now begin to recognize the
~providential character Of Abraham Lin.
coin. We see him as one Of Gods
prophets.
History repeats itself. One generation
stones the prophets, and the next, their
children, build them monuments. Only
a few souls have the intuition to recog'
nize a living prophet. These prophets
neither dress nor act like the old proph.
cts; that would be mere charlatanism
Every prophet must be fitted into his
own time, suit his own environment. One
comes as a pilgrim, like Abraham; an
other as a hired man and herdsman. like
Jacob; another as q leader and lawgiver,
like Moses. Another as a warrior, like
Joshua; another as an e~xecutioner, like
Elijah; another as a scholar, like Paul
each man fitting his own age.
To find a prophet, we must not take
the grave clothes of the. dead seers, and
run through the mart, trying to find some
man whom they will fit. We must SO
read events as to recognize the man who
fits and fills his time. He must be in
league with events. Napoleon on st.
Helena said: cat Waterloo events desert.

time. The prophet must no . history
maker. To find our prophet, we must
find the trend of events: then wa can
