MEASURE FOR MEASURE.
Interesting Sermon by Dr.. Waterman
Ct Tilton, N. H., at St. Marks.

Rev. Lewis Waterman, D. D., of TIL
ton, n. H., preached a very interesting
and practical: discourse Sunday lnGrn-
i,.s at ST. Marks Episcopal chul ca
upon the theme, Measure for Meas
ure" The preacher took for the basis
of his discourse three New Testament
sayings of Jesus upon the subject OF
measure given and received and
brought out clearly the different les
sons taught by Jesus with his illustra-
ton.
That with what measure we mete
it shall be measured to you again is
the great law of the spiritual world,
declared the preacher. 1T ought al
ways to be so in the material world
Judge not that We be not judged
Criticism of Others means carelassness
about ourselves. Carelessness and lazy
self satisfaction must draw severe
judgment from our Father."i
The speaker in explaining the pas
sage Take heed what ye' hear" de-
speaking to US, one of God and the
other of the world. He urged his hear
ers to get the education of God, which
added important truths not obtained N
the education of the world.
Give and it shall be given to you,'
was the closing thought 10 which the
speaker brought out in connection
with the teachings of Jesus in regard
to measuring and receiving measure
In learning the giving habit you make
yourself able to give. The world is
full of sunshine and full of love if We
put ourself in the spirit to receive it.
said DR.. Waterman in conclusion.

which he is justly proud. The field
covers an area of two acres and is To-
