strong sermons yesterday. In the
morning the text used was, Confess

Of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear
the word at my mouth, and warn them
from me-" In the Introduction of the
sermon the pastor stated that a long
while ago he threw away his gloves
and is handling the word OF the Lord
without gloves. He is determined
that no one shall bring the charge of
unfaithfulness against him as a watch
man If the evening sermon Is cri-
terion by which men may Judge, his
auditors last evening are convinced
that no such charge can be preferred.
