pastor of stouffville united church drew a retort from one of his purishoners right in the midst of his sermon last sunday morning which set the congrega tion on ear and they didnt miss a word of the sermon from that moment there was but one inter ruption then till was silent for the rest of the period the interruption came shortly alter the preacher launched into his subject in which he sought to place in relief the incongruous state ments set down in the old testa ment as against those in the new testament mr laidlaw launched into the subject saying that there were those who believed every word in the old testament was actually dictated by god to the saints who wrote them down i am here to say that that is utterly wrong and that it is not true he declar ed when a voice from the congre gation immediately challenged the allegation with the statement it is true the preacher declared that a citizen of our town naming him at this time had stated to him that the god of the old testament was a devil and he the preacher could see the viewpoint of that citizen he declared that the old testament did reveal a god of war a tribal god a national god as against a god of love revealed in the new testament how can we reconcile such statements as we read in the old testament as recorded in the 15th chapter of i samuel which he quoted thus now go and smite at a meeting of the official board

diver gent views to the great difference in time in which these things were written each wrote with the know ledge of his day and down through the ages they learned about the god of love instead of the god of war he pictured god as a perfect radio broadcaster but we here on earth had established very poor re ceiving sets and there is even static in the beautiful palms what is needed today is a better conception and more putting into practise the teachings of the god jesus as revealled in the new testa ment without this anarchy and even blood shed is in the wake of things he prophesied the sermon met with mingled ex pressions of approval and disapprov al by the congregation as the preacher anticipated for he said he realized that he was saying things that not all would agree with when
