If you stood in a street where the traffic is abundant, where the con stant thunder of rumbling wheels creates a din, it would be difficult to preach so as to command an audi ence, for the abundant sound would prevent all hearing; and, to a great extent, the mass of mankind are just iff that position as to the joyful 3<>und of the Gospel. 1 The rumbling of the wheels of com merce, the noise of trade and the cries of competition, the whirl of cares and the riot of pleasures—all these drown the pursuasive voice of heavenly love, so that men hear no more of it than they would hear a pm fall in the midst of a hurricane at sea. Only when God unstops the ear is the still small voice of truth heard in the chambers of the heart. Sunday School .............. 10 a. m. Morning w orship...............11 a. m.
