PREDATORY ADDRESS.

1t Is % years since l preached my
first sermon in this pulpit and II years
since preached my last sermon here
as your pastor. am thankful for this
opportunity of meeting you and wor-
shipping with you in this dear and
sacred place. l realize that I may
never preach to some of you again and
wish to "preach Christ" so that, if
it be indeed "the last time" you may
be helped and comforted by the Gospel
message l bring to you and leave with
you.
Those who are not pastors and
preachers Of the gospel Of Christ know
little Of the perplexity and in sense,
the anxiety attending the selection of
topics for the pulpit. There is, it is
true, a great and almost infinite null
titude of subjects relating to Chris
tian doctrine and the Christian life
and to morality and duty, but still the
proper sphere of pulpit instruction is
limited. There is but one center of
this sphere and the farther we get
from this center, the vast circle of
truth, the less strongly do we feel its
attraction. Christ is that center; and
the nearer we keep to Him the more
will his life throb in our souls. He,
who in the multitude Of interesting
and instructive themes, loses sight Of
this great subject Of Christian preach
ing and teaching Christ and Him cru
CITED, Christ and Him loving to help
us, must fail to preach the word SO
that it will accomplish that Wherein
to it was sent. But the simplest pray
er Of Christ will sometimes win the
heart. The apostles understood His
business; they, as the text says "ceaseo
not to preach and teach Jesus Christi

Of iconoclasts. They are as wanton as the
relic hunter who clips the tip of the nose

people. refined and in many respects ad-
mirable. The shallowness OF mind they ex-
hibit in the one particular of a craze to mar
the language II should be their pride to
preserve In all its symmetry must be re-
garded as q mystery. So far as these de-
forming reformers have been able to show.
there is no reason why spelling should be
changed Their notion is arbitrary and be-
yond defense. In the spelling, and thus in
the visible aspect of a word. there is COM

Two thousand people attended a meeting at

relative to the coal strike. The meeting
seemed to be dominated by socialistic speak
ers, and literature enunciating socta1istio
principles were handed to those who at
tended.
Mayor Jones Of Toledo spoke for an hour.
His speech was a general review OF me

Roosevelt's action. In calling the COPPER
