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. ■■■ - ------------- ¡«WSSSSB OUR BOOKS CHRISTIAN COLLEGE Belew We give a partial list of the books we are prepared to furnish most ahvthiDg in the book line, and will be pleased to receive orders for same.
