joys a rare degree of mental and physi-
cal vigor. He took as his theme to-
day, 1.-THE Rich Young Ruler and

platform, delivered an exceptionally
Thoughtful and helpful sermon. A few
useful lessons were drawn by the
speaker from his long and active work
in the ministry, lessons especially
valuable to the young who by chance
made up a large portion of the audience.
