SERMONS FOR
STAY-AT-HOMES
Two Interesting 8ermons Were
Delivered In Congregational
Church 8unday
The Itev. J. Hunting Johnson
officiated at both the morning and
evening services Sunday. The
subject of his morning discourse
was, "A Noble Example." Basing
his remarks on the life of Joseph
he delivered a very helpful ser
mon, emphasizing the particular
characteristics of Joseph's life.
Parental respect and obedience;
fidelity to God and principle;
quick observation and lender
sympathy; great skill and intel
ligence; stability under trial and
when exalted to affluence. From
these points the paslor gave some
excellent counsel, lie will take
yip tin; same subject next Sunday.
In the evening . he preached
from Luke x:l2-"A Wise Choice."
Mary hath chosen tin* good part
which shall not be taken from
her. llo referred In Ihe life of

the foxes holes, hut I lie son of

head."' Very few homes were open
In receive him then, indeed, we
I'ear I here are Inn few now. Cer
tainly, he was always sure nf a
welcome in Hie hnme nf l.azarus

and suffering in Ihe world today.
Tin* preacher gave some very
striking instances of personal ex

So such a choice always proves,
In closing he dwell on Hie re

blessed and successful in the best

itself in the testing limes and
would comfort and support us in

when every thing else would be
left behind or sink, and only eliar

feel, now learning of Him, is to
sil willi Him in the glory by and
by. To keep IIis company now
is lo grow like Him in character.
