Sunday afternoon at 8 O'Clock Rev.
Stocker filled his appointment at the
church. He spoke from that old yet
ever new text in Jno. 3:16. He said
God loved the world because he made
it, and everything He made was for a
purpose and that the various parts of
His creation sustained each other. The
plants reaches down and is sustained
by the soil, the inorganic kingdom be
low. The organic kingdom of which
plants and trees are a part, sustains
other parts of the organic kingdom by
way of furnishing food to the higher
orders of that kingdom-to animals
and to man, and man though himself
an animals more; he is not ma
chine, mere mechanism, but made in
the image of God and related to him
by his spirituality. The speaker does
not evidently believe in the evolntion
of man from the lower forms of the
l,ing6om below, but that he is from the
/. gler and spiritual kingdom above.
Tic discourse was thoughtful and
helpful.
