ing of Attleboro, Mass, sang solo en-
titled We Shall See Him Face to Face,

IL. Durham, which was charmingly
rendered Mr.. Miller took his text
from Job Is: 4. "Thou easiest off fear
and restrained devotion before God"
Mr.. Miller said in part: "Many Uni
versalists and others though they may be
very good people lack the fear of God.
We should remember that God has
dual nature. God is not only Father
but Sovereign. Preachers should get
out of the old time rut of laying so
much stress on the love of God and
leaving out the other side of Gods ma.
ture, for love without justice has no
backbone. The slow growth of Uni
verSalism is due to the leaving out of
the element of fear from preaching and
teaching. We fear the seen, why not
have wholesome fear of the unseen?
The laws of God are memorable in
spiritual as we'll as material things al
though tempered with mercy. If we
commit sin We cannot escape punish
ment." Mr.. Miller presents his subject
in a simple, straightforward manner
which carries conviction with it. With
him there is no beating about the bush.
His parting words were "Ho, for Christ"
