Choosing a strange place to preach in. 4. Adopting an antiquated garb and manner. II. A WONDERFUL SERMON. 1. Not the exposition of a creed. 2. Not concerning traditions and ceremonies. 3.

All travelling a great distance to hear the preacher. 3. All yielding to the truth — confessing their sins. 4. All submitting to the rite imposed by the desert preacher. (J. C. Grey.)
