Tt leads him to study phases of truth which otherwise be might overlook—yea, would overlook. He win, therefore, have a ‘fuller treasure, a richer tniod, than if he were to spend all his time in looking oot texts, making skeletons, and clothing them in tbe common way.'

It enables him likewise to secure all that variety, of which I wrote in my last letter, a thing which can scarcely be done, except in very skillful hands, by always adhering to the form of didaetiedisoourses from single text*. And while this method is beneficial to the minister, it is most acceptable to his people. They love it because it is so instructive, interesting and varied.
