SUNDAYS DISCOURSE IN THE NJ E. CHURCH.
Rev. r. H. Jones Of the NJ. E. Church spoke
last Sunday morning to large and attentive
congregation. His text WAS taken from
Galations6 6 and I-"Be not deceived ; God If
not Knocked, for whatsoever man soWetb'
that shall he also reap" He said there was
creeping into the church form OF lnndellty
that trusted to the goodne and mercy oI
God. That pointed TO the beauties In nature,
but amid all these there Is voice OF warning
which points to wrath, destruction and death,
as shown by the fading rose leaves, the fall
ing leaves Of the forest and the awful tornado
that rends the oak that has wlthstood the
storms of q hundred years. Men rush on ant
will not IN investigate spiritual things az they
do in business affairs OF this life. thus deceiV.
| ing themselves as 10 future rewards ana
punishment. "As man sows. 80 shall he
also leap." SOW sin and reap sin, SOW righte,
business and reap reward. Sins and evil deco
deeds live on through eternity working oul
more and more. A man can no more SIN ana
expect to reap reward than he can SOW wheat
and expect TO harvest crop OF corn, the
laws of nature are fixed and like begets ike,
| 80 1t IL in the spiritual harvest. Men and
women are only sowing their wild oats,
but oh what will the harvest be, what can
they expect 10 reap, but what they have
sown? By such sowing, are made ungodly
homes-broken hearts and ruined lives
which are contributing annually to the filling
Of our jails and penitentiaries. The great
question for us Is, "what are we wing ms
individuals ?" We are sowing day by day
