be banished entirely by electricity
within ten years, may yet come true.
Not pound Of coal, according to that
well-known electrical inventor. need
be brought into New York, either to
serve as fuel in factories for generat-
ing steam power or in households for
heating and cooking purposes. He
went into minute calculations which
appeared to demonstrate that the cost
of an electric plant large enough to
furnish all the light. heat and motive
power of any great city would be less
than present expeditures for coal. In
general terms his plan was to generate
electric power at point ten miles or
more from the city, transmit 1t
through underground conduits to the
city's limits, and thence distribute 1t
through one or more main feeding sta
tions to transformer sub-stations,
where the pressure would be reduced
to $50 volts for feeding motors of all
kinds by the three-wire system.-New

Of fire God spoke. but preaching as
we understand IL had not risen to the
dignity of even a custom. It is purely
Christian institution, belonging to
the Christian era. The inspired men
under the Old Testament did not
preach. They proclaimed the will Of
God in variety of forms. Moses en-
acted statutes. Joshua after his sword
was sheathed swore the nation to fidel-
ity. David sang as saint and king,
and gave utterance to emotions com.
mon to the Church in every age. Sol.
omon embodied his experience in pithy
and pointed sentences. The prophets,
as body, portrayed present obliga-
ton and future crisis. These old
seers foretold Messiah. but did not ex.
hibit Him. They picture Him, but did
not preach Him.

Preaching has a perpetual mission
peculiar to every age. The impulse
to declare and publish the Gospel is
natural, spontaneous, mighty. and con-
tinuous. 1--WE cannot but speak the
things which we have seen and heard"
Men must have voice from the clouds
attesting the mission Of the Son and
and approving the success of his pit
iful undertaking for the rescue of an
imperiled world. The human soul has
majestic impulses and high interests.
The fife of our day and the coming
times teens with new problems. IL has
it's disputes, troubles, responsibilities
and issues. Preaching is related to
all of these. Christianity Is not a set
of ideas, compact system of doc
trines, formula, creed or philosophy.
1t is primarily and finally life. The
voice that thunders. whispers, trem.
bles with love. pity, sympathy, indig-
nation is a live wire. The action of
the silently speaking emotions and
the conscious operations of the Spirit
within are all lost in studied instruc-
ton.

From all sections OF the country and

most aggravating in the case Of coal,
