phases of truth which otherwise be

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. They wot Id rather oot hear
tbe sermon than be deprived of the
exposition, and I sm in a position to
know that the exposition has been
much mote iufluenfeal than the aer
