Changing and the 
changing” 
Rev. L. H. Ruge of Steubenville, 
O., preached. at the Congregational 
church, Manchester, again last Sun- 
day. His subject in the morning was 
“The changing and the unchanging,” 
taking as his text Job 14 and Heb. 
13: 8. He spoke in part as follows: 
“Everything we have and every- 
thing we love is changing always. 
The change is taking place all around 
usat every moment of the day. We 
find it in nature, in the stars, in all 
things ; they are never the same. 
“If you go back to the old home, 
you find it changed. It is no longer 
the old place hallowed in memory. 
Today every leaf is in the dining 
_ table ; tomorrow every leaf is taken 
out and it is pushed intoa corner, 
where two old folks eat alone. 
“We sometimes think character is 
fixed ; but do we not find people now 
warm, now cold? The most pleasing 
thing in any person is to -find them 
‘always the same, no matter what 
happens.’ ; 
«Science sometimes arrogates to it- 
self immortality, why, and on what 
grounds it is hard to discover, for 
science is constantly changing its 
_ theories and formulas. 
“Men dream of literary immor- 
tality, for which they toil long into the 
night. They dream of immutable 
glory on the battlefield. They wring 
from nature her laws of being to_per- 
petuate their genius, but scarcely is 
the de luxe edition from the press, 
scarcely is the sound of the conflict 
stilled, scarcely is the law laid down, 
when a destructive hand has changed 
it all. ; 
«What is wanting here?’ said a 
Countess to her King as they rode 
through waving flags and loud ac- 
claim. ‘Continuance’ answered the 
King. What is wanting here, says 
the youth formulating his ambitions, 
and the pleasure-loving daughter of 
fashion, the wealthy Baron, the landed 
peers, all ask the question, ‘what is 
wanting here,’ and I answer ‘con- 
’ tinuance.’ 
“And thus change affects our be- 
liefs, but in all the changes of the 
past, in all the changes of the present, 
itis not God who changes, it is only 
Our conceptions that change. In the 
universe are changes, grand and im- 
measurable, but in the centre of it all 
is the personality and power of the 
Creator and the Christ. 
_ “Christ and the fundamental laws 
of righteousness he laid down will 
never, can never change toward man, 
man must change toward them. In 
the true theology Christ does not be- 
come more human, man _ becomes 
more Christ like.”’
