The Rev. Paul Rader, of Chicago, gave another of his characteristic and forcible talks last Monday evening, and there was a fairly large gathering considering oth the weather and the hour.
The Scripture read was St. Mark 11, 1-12, and he spoke from the words: "And it was noised that He was in the house," applying the words to man as representing a house, the body its relation to the outside world, the soul showing his disposition and the spirit by which he knew God, and could have God within.
In the course of the address he dwelt on the human disposition, which, be it ever so trained and cultivated, still contained all the elements of evil possible. We might not do as the other person did that we so despised, but we were guilty of other things that were equally reprehensible. People did not dare to face their own disposition, and unless they were hopelessly drugged or used the latest scientific hypodermic fo deaden their sense of sin, they knew that they were wrong.
