"The Weakness of Our Warfare." was the subject Mr. Pritchard derived from tlie text. "The Apostle Paul was in the midst of a great conflict," said the siieaker lu liegiuuing. "Certain men had crept Into the Corinthian Church who were trying to rob blm of his Apostleshlp. Paul fought back hut not with tlie same kind, of weapons they used. Thev fought with carnal weapons, but lanl fought "with spiritual weapons." There has always beeu a conflict in the world.

The world wins Its battles with tbe biggest gun. the most powerful battle shim tlie most dangerous submarine. But our weapons are very dlffereiaV What are they: 1. Preaching.
