The preacher took his text from Jere-

footmen, and they have wearied thee,
then how canst thou contend with horses
and if in the land of peace; wherein
thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then
now wilt thou do in the swelling of Jor-
dan?' His subject was that fidelity to
the details of life fits us for the severe
tests of character. He developed his sub
lect logically with beautiful diction and
clear expression. He called strongly for
sincerity, honesty and truthfulness in
the small affairs of life and gave this
as the surest index of the strong char
acter. He held that if we are careless
about the small things, we can not be
depended on when severer tests overtale
