Macon, Ga.—Pastor Lathrop has printed on his “Gospel Press,” (given him while a Home Missionary in Wisconsin by a lady at the East), a stirring pastoral address. It includes a warm greeting, notice of services and invitations thereto; also of the Lewis High School and the Sunday-school, enforced by appropriate Scripture. We quote one paragraph:
“No sectarian gospel will be taught from this pulpit. The pastor heartily believes, and endeavors to preach, the broad, liberal, helpful Gospel of ‘peace on earth, good-will toward men,’ through our Lord Jesus Christ. This gospel of the ‘Prince of Peace’ does not agree with quarreling among Christians, or strifes between churches. ‘If My kingdom were of this world, then would My servants fight,’ said the Master. Our great aim will be to show how this glorious gospel and this blessed Jesus will help every needy heart to bear all its burdens; how every soul may be freed from the bondage of sin, and filled with love, meekness, temperance, patience, purity, righteousness, and joy, ‘which the world knows not, neither can give nor take away.’”
