Rev. Or. w. NJ. Paden preached last
evening" in the First Presbyterian
church, on "Our Duty to Dumb AMI
mails" His text was "A righteous man
regardeth the life Of his beast, but the
tender mercies Of the wicked are cruel
In the course Of his remarks, DR.. Paden
said:
"A thoroughly good man Is kind even
to his horse. a thoroughly bad man is
cruel even to his wife and children
Most of US are neither very bad or
very good. our kindness Is streaked
with cruelty, our cruelty Is mitigated
by outbursts Of tender mercy. We can
NOT az Christians afford TO be satisfied
with such mediocre tyne OF chnrac-
| ter our ideal Is perfection. 'be ye

narrow than In our sympathies. our
hearts are too often blind on one side or
the other. and very often extremely
nearsghted. We need the longing eX-
