Taking as his text, "It is a fear- ful thing to fall into the hands of the living God." (Hebrews 10:31), the preacher said:-

This is one of the uncomfortable truths that none of us likes to hear. But as St. Paul said to the early Christians-"Rejoice with the Truth." As we approach Christmas

There is one result of this that we all should expect and another which is more surprising. The Erst is that our religious worship becomes cheapened and super- ficial when it is detached from the thought of how fearful a thing it is to fall into the hands of the living God.
