so that f unity sentences do not abound.

when the panorama-of busy life is set in

seem as it sooner or later something would
come along which would set him thinking,-

people who are waiting for a place will
probably find n pl Ice advertised. For if a

they will probably find fifl y or five hundred

good which comes to an intelligent man
when he himself is set on thinking by '
noticing what it is that other men are think-

And this has set me wondering whether
the children of this world are not wiser in
their generation than the children of light;
in other Words whether the publishers are
not wiser than the editors and preachers in
being willing to publish good things about
their so-callcd rivals. I wonder whether a
minister in his pulpit is wise or foolish
when he refuses to give notices, real hearty
notices, about his brother ministers and
sister churches. Isuspcct the truth to b“.
