est interest. An attempt will be made
in the sermon to show how men have
answered it.; how the Bible answers
it; and what men think of it today.
Infdelity, artheism, agnosticism, stoi-
cism, indifferentism and Christianity
all answer the question. Many
practical thoughts will be presented.
The public is cordially invited to all
the services.
