gone, and we are brought down the
stream Of time to another glorious Sab
bath evening, and so few of us are APP
preciating the innunerable blessings
that we are the unthankful recipients
of. What a sad thing it is to see the
world drifting downward under the
multiplied thousands of blessings that
are being showered around US daily
aud hourly, and we just grope around
in our stupidity and never even stop
to thank the great giyer of all those /
gratuitous blessings. We should not .
wonder at the awful calamites, the
besetments and disturbances that be- !
fall us on every side, for we, as the |
greatest, grandest and most noble part |
of Gods creation are the least thank /
full and appreciative objects of all of
his creatures
Just stop and look around and see
the awfulness of the consequences OF
our sinfulness our disobedienCe to
laws and rules laid down in Holy Writ
for our guidance, and see the cause of
all our troubles, our besetments our
destitutions. 1t is wonder to me
that the God of the Universe permits
us to live. Look what he brought on
King Saul, the first Isrealite King, for
his sefishness and disobedience Look
at King David, how much trouble was
brought on him for his wickedness,
and why should we think that our
God the same God that ruled in
Saul's and David's time, would be
more lenient and more merciful toward
us than he was to them? Nay, verify,
He is the same God, and will deal
with us today on the very same prin-
ciples as He did then We can not,
nor should we think of ever coming
under the pitiful pleadings Of the Saw
Jour, when he so earnestly plead with
. the Father, to ''Iay not this sin to
their charge, for they know not what
:. they do, for we are not ignorant, or
g should not be ignorant, of our duties,
Y as they are all made plain, so plain
. that no wayfaring man, though fool,
4 need err therein.
Well, our brand new M. L. preacher
filled his appointment here today, and
preached us a very good sermon. Bro.
Clonce is comparatively a young
g preacher, and we hone as he grows old
q er he will continue to improve. He is
g not a Hopper" by any means, but
" We hope he will prove blessing to his
,. charge.
