He preached elo^iuont y, touchingly. show- ing that each heart was a temple ui which was an altar, and urging upon each the necessity of having the divinely kindled fire ever burning uiwn it In the after- noon he discus-sed el quciitly ou the subject of "The rntn.H.Ulen Paths," laking for his text these wortls fiom Jishua : " For ye have uot puisscd this way herotofure." His remarks on thi.s ocoa.<uou were mainly uddressed to the youug people, eipocially the young men, of whom thoie were a gootlty number present.
