Russell, of Brooklyn, whose teachings arespirxtual poison, have been circulated, here lately. Use it to hmdie the fire, Mr. C. F. Russell, whose repre­ sentative, George Mathews spoke in the "opera'hbrise" last Sabbath, teaches that Jesus; -in his Pre­ existent state, was .a mere creaturef that in the incarnation our Lord- had but one nature, that the- atone­ ment of Jesus .was* that-of a mere man; that- the body of Jesus was not raigi&d.frota the grave; that at the resurrection the. gospel will be them- a second chance^ that the finally impenitent will be anni­ hilated. Russell is fond of charg- those whose shoe latohet he is un­ worthy to loose with misunder­ standing and .misinterpreting-the scriptures. Perhaps there is nob in all this county another man teach­ ing as much, error and doingHs iri'uch harm ns this Russell; May God in Infinite mercy, preserve His people from this spiritual poison.

The devil never Worries abo tit the moralist, the man Who is good enough. Dike a cat with a mouse, he toys with him to his hearts con­ tent, and then ruins him. Why do robins sing?

When we can answer these questons we may be able to toll why God loves His weak and sinful children, Ah it is because It is His nature, to love, “ If you Can’ t be aisy” the Irish­ man is reputed to have said “ be as aisy as you can.” Advice well worth having these hot.and busy days.
