Daring an absence of eighteen years' when I r served you here in the old church many - changes have taken place, and some ol them - very sad; but I come tbis morning to tell yon there isone thing that never changes and that. <,* i is, "the sweet old story of God's love," and , yi that Is tbe message I bring you today, the e great central truth ot wblob Is "God loves everybody," which is the grandest disclosure r of God ever given to man. , i The divisions of bis sermon were: 1st. Human redemption has its basis In God's - fatherhood; and, second. In the gift of Christ p God's love found Us highest expression. From tbe first proposition be showed that r we needed redemption and bad It through t tbe vicarious sacrifice of Christ, which redemption was a necessity on God's, side. e God's fatherhood and love compels us to come back.

This love was beautifully, lllustrated.by the [1 shepherd's search for the "lost sheep" and e when found tenderly and lovingly lifting it is in bis strong arms be bears it back safely to d tbefold. In conclusion he earnestly en treat a ed any who might be out of the fold taaccept i, this great love, aud said, "if vou are still tost |. it is because you won't let Christ save you." e His remarks were earnest, practical and forceis ful and clalmcd the closest attention of his & it congregation. - ' . .vi?K| How fittingly beautiful and appropriate that after a lapse of so many long years this beloved pastor should come again bringing , such a message of God's love to bis people. At the close of the service there was a general handshaking between pastor and the older members of his congregation who gave him a most cordial welcome back to tbls'hls charge of long years ago. , Tuc Abbeville SlercbantN Prottctive r, Assoclrllon.
