AN ABLE DISCOURSE.
At the Baptist church last Sunday
evening Rev. Lyons preached an able
sermon taken from the text "And Jesus
grew in wisdom and stature, and in ia
vor with God and Man." The pastor
pictured the life OF Christ from the age Of
twelve up to the time he came into prom
inence, showing how essential it was that
He should grow in stature in order that
he might be physically able to carry on
the work planned for Him by the Father.
But while all this was in progress Christ
did not lose sight OF the mental and
spiritual sides of life. Endowed with
supernatural gifts, in the quietness Of
His Nazarene home the child Jesus
grasped the great problems He was to be
confronted with as the teacher of men.
The speaker portrayed in forcible Ian.
guage how, by wrong examples, the boy
in the home or on the street could grow
physically, mentally and spiritually de-
formed, but with the life and example
of the Saviour before him he could be-
come perfect in all of these points. The
Bible was also pointed to as specimen
of literature unexcelled in the worlds
history, and in which the student. the
philosopher and the law-maker found
ample food for thought.

FINE SERMON.
Rev. j. H. Condit preached sermon
last Sunday night indirectly directed at
infidels. He argued that if Christians
met with difficulties in accepting Chris
tianity, the infidel had greater difficult
ties to encounter on every hand. Diff.
culties, he showed that were insurmount-
able. The Christian can back up his
faith with the laws of nature. He NAV
reason that every indicia of life around
and about him point unerringly to an In
telligent cause. II his sight is in evi.
dence, he may reason that there are
things to be seen. If his hearing is in
evidence, then sound is made by nature
TO meet the Yeouirements. Every far
