AMONG THE CHURCHES.

Rev. J. R. McAfee filed the Metho-
dist pulpit last Sunday morning at II
O'Clock service and his subject was
An Ideal Manhood 4. 81. One
of the things that will undo life and
destroy the smooth even temper of an
ideal manhood is over anxiety; there
fore Paul says "ln nothing be anxious.
A properly garrisoned heart and mind
will produce an ideal manhood. We
find that the most vulnerable points in
our moral character is the heart and
mind and that the only power that can
keep these in all purity is the peace Of
God which passeth all understanding.
Then the great question is how may
procure this peace or power that will
stand garrison over my heart and mind
and how may | cause il to obtain
throughout life? Having this peace,
therefore another question arises,
What is the nature and what is the
character Of this pescel First, divine
in nature. (a) Because il brings man
back somewhat into the original ideal
relationship in which God designed him
to be. (bl Because il is the result
brought to US by Gods love and mercy.
lcl Because it is in some way Divine
donation. II is that which is produced
in the heart by Gods spirit. Second.
in character this peace passeth the
comprehension Of all created intelli-
gence and assumes warlike attitude
as it stands garrison Of the heart and
mind.
The Methodists now have one hun
dred new hymnals so If you attend
