For Sober Thought.

We sadly need to be touched by the power of a grent spiritual regeneration; this common life is pivoted upon two great and radical errors from which we can find no refuge except in the spirit of the gospel of Christ These: are that enjoyment of some kind is the true end of life, and second tho -belief that pain and sufferings are life's greatest calamities. And when we attempt to construct a theory of life or a plan of society upon the basis of these mistakes, we see nothing but inexplicable changes and dismay.
