That was a tines rmon preached in the A. H. P. church her.' I a-1 Sunday morning by the Rev. Oliver Johnson, of Leslie ; no academic attempt at oratorical display, no studied nor conv n tional phrases, 110 presentation of threadbare topics, no previously \rranged rounded periods, but a plain, practical, singularly logical discourse, replete with orij i nulitv .i,,d (lalivoi'dd will, imnrPP % uu^* UVii ' U* ?? * ** . ... J. . siye, convincing power. It waj a sermon especially calculated to appeal to the mind of a layman. Mr. Johnson slnted at the outset that he would talk about ome "old ways,'' his thoughts being suggested by the 16th verse of the Gth chapter of Jeremiah : "Thus sail h the Lord. Stand ye in the ways, and see, and a-k tor the old paths, where is the itood way, and walk therein, and ve shall iind rost'lor your souls. But they said. We will not walk therein." An old thing is not to be accepted or rejected because it is old ; neither should something new be accepted or rejected because it is new, said the minister. Its truth, its real value or utility -lroulcl be the test. Reference j was made to the great changes thr.l aro constantly going on, and to tho many advantages and conveniences now enjoyed which woie unknown to the past generation. The people of today do not visit the national capital (in the old time stage c >aches, nor cross the ocean in sailing i vessels as did their fathers and j forefathers. The cablegram, the j telegram, the telephone, the Pullman cars and the other modern evidences of the ingenui ity and skill ot man were mi : known to our ancestors. But in all the world's progress, the I changes and inventions that are i *>eiii-r made, there aie two tilingi tha? remain unchanged, God and mi in ?ii nature. Taking up the Hi hie an one of the things which some may be disposed to ignore or neglect bec iuse it is old, Mr. Johnson made an earnest, fervent plea for its; more general use and study, be mg as it i9 the bulwark of cur civilization. He said #he was afraid that the Holy Word was not being read as much now as it was by our fathers. He attributed the apparent decadence in Hible-' ^ A ... V U IA8TKR NEWS, OjffifrBER '9, reading to the fact that ttfe hunan mind is more or less incapacitated for the proper study of he Scriptures by reason of the many so-called religious^ papers which un^rtake to explain and interpret ortions of the Bible for us, not unfrequently present ing to us perversions thereof, and also to the vast tons and tons of colored and miscellaneous matter that are turned outbv the (tnilv Mint rlist.rilmt.pd throughout the land every JSabb >th rmiruing. f All such literature lends to destroy one's ?a-te and desire lor bible reading and study. The minds ol the fathers and mothers of the present generation were not distracted by such matter, and in consequence they read and enjoyed the Bible more than dotheir sons anddaiu h ters. Mr. Johnson therefore urged the imp>rtance of a return to the "ol 1 way" ot bible-s^dy. Three tilings were then emf)h:w sized and elaborated by the aide diviuease88enti.il to the betterment (f the n\oral and spirit uul welfare ot hutnauity : Bib e reading, observance of the S ?b bath and family %eligi'?n. Tile neces ity lor tach uud their Correlative value were forcefully ami t-lrikingly portrayed, and we regret-that our limited space will iv>t admit of the Dedication m of the salient points and apt illustrations made by Mr. John son. Re ll.v, the sermon was one that should he hoard in its entirety to be properly appreciated. This imperfect and disconnected reference to what was said but detract* from tlie merits and excellence of the discourse, while giving only a taint idea of its value. Mr. Johnson closed bv reciting with much feeling that beautiful poem of Burns written by him ai the home ot a reverend friend where he had spent the night. The Meet inn of the.
