Sunday Sermon.
Subject: “All Men are Astray.”
Text: “All we, like sheep,
astray. Wo have turned every
own way, (
iniquity of us all,"
Once more I ring the o'd gospel Yo all,
first half of my noxt text is an indfetment.
All we, like sheep, have gone astray, Se

house and says: “There is a blasphemer,
and I understand how he has gone astray,
And there in another part of the house is a
defaulter, and he has gon Je natray, And the ire
is an impure person, and be has gone astray.”
Bit down, mv brother, and look at home, My
text takes us ail in, It starts ‘

thay have any great grief, began to beat
himself and « us he 8; upon his breast,
“God be merciful to me, a sinner.” 1 was,
Kke many of you, br ught up inthe country,

how they got astray and what my test means
when it says, “All we, like sheep, have gone
astray.” Sheep in two ways
