Rev. DR.. Carey E. Morgan.

Editor of The TmeslSsr:
Rev. DR.. Carey E. Morgan, the we'll
known pastor OF Seventh-Street Christian
Church, said:
AS to sermon preparation, there are
three methods: EXpository, Topical and
Textual. In the first chapter or con-
siderable portion of Scripture is taken
and expounded; in the second, subject
is chosen and developed: in the last,
text is selected. and the thought analy-
zed and enforced.
sometimes follow one of these plans
and sometimes another, though use
the topical and te1tualN oftener than the
expoSitory-
AS to whetllersa minister gets his text
before lle gets his sermon, depends on
which one of these methods he follows.
Ii he uses either the expository or tex
tual method, he must get his text nrst.
If he uses the topical method, he may
get his sermon and then get his text,
for in that case the line of thought will
depend on the subject chosen, and not
on the text.
FOR example: IF I were going to preach
on ..Redemption' I would develop
the theme likely first. Any one of a
score of Scriptures would serve almost
equally well as text.
At to Illustrations: / get them from
nature and human nature, from history
and science and art In fact, all fields are
open to minister at this point. Just
as a newspaper man is on the lookout
for news, or a physician for remedies, or
a business man for bargains, or a law
! yer for decisions. or lecturer for me-
| thods, 50 the minister forms the habit of.
being on the lookout for subjects and
| illustrations.
| cannont answer your last question.
I doubt whether a preacher is ever the
best Judge as to which Is his best SER
| mon. The people can tell far better about
| that than he can. I think It often hap
pens that the "best sermon In the study.
| turns out to be not the best In the pull
| pit and yica versa After all. the text OF
q sermon is whether 1t meets the needs
of the people. and those who hear know
better about that, at the time, than the
ureach0r. FIX s

The rain and snow has continued to
fall throughout the state during the
past week and the result is that the
total precipitation for April thus far
Is greater than has been seen for
quarter Of century. No snow has
fallen here since the 11th but last
Sunday the rain poured down all day,
i'd cloudy weather prevailed all the
week. A week or two of sunshine
would be welcomed by everybody.
Nels Thompson. one of the most
industrious farmers on the north side,
has finished sowing 40 acres OF oats
and intends putting in five acres OF
sugar beets this week. Nels is pleased
With the prospects as presented just
now and believes he will produce
good crop all round this year. We
trust he may not be disappointed for
no man is more deserving of success
than he.
At the sugar company's ONCE the
agriculturists are making experiments
to test the terminating qualities Of
the six varieties Of beet seed which
are on hand for distribution. The
seeds are carefully counted and placed
In plates, with moist blotting paper
over and under the seed and the plate
covered with glass. In three DAYS
sproutlng begins and In six days the
experiment is complete. One variety
recently tested showed 100 per cent OF
perfect seed. Rocky Ford Enterprise.

looked every whit a dead man when Col,

him how old he was and where he lived.

was not even In the building.
Youtsey's symptoms have been worse
