Good Sermon.
A good sermon is too often like
fodge’s horaa. „.It is overdone with
rasses and bells, narness anti har-
lony, but no real strength in it—
life and vigor. It is fine but
o fife
lot forcible. Now it strikes every-
ody that the tripping of a poor
d half-starved horse look like
ockery. You cannot plough fields
ith ribbons' arid bells; you want
ascle and sinew. And so there is
moving men’s hearts with pret-
phrawes and musical nothings,
hat is needed is thought, truth,
^wrr
od. Young men are apt to think
as of what to say than how to say
; but our advice is, think of both
due proportion. See the matter
fore the manner. Get the horse
and old gospel, and plenty of it
d they will not much mind the
ay you bring it forth. A good
d Divine truth should be fitly
oken. The mischief is that some
pear to think that the harness
akes the horse, and that a fine
yle is the main thing in a sermon,
hurches and chapels would not so
ten be empty if ministers would
ke heed what they preach as well
how they preach.— Spurgeon.

their morality and devotion to the cause of education. The Oregonian Railway passes through
