sermon at Mortified was characterized
by a profund knowledge Of scripture
and of human nature, coupled with a
sincere affection for his hearers and
fearless declaration of the truth as he
found it. The address was based on
Mark 1927, with men it is impossible,
but not with God; for with God all
things are possible" With God, posi-
BILE; with men, impossible. The burden
