Mr. Libby at Manchester 
Rev. Frederick J. Libby of the Vil- 
lage church, Magnolia, preached at 
Manchester last Sunday in exchange 
with the. pastor, Rev. C. Arthur Lin- 
.coln, of the Congregational church, 
and he had charge of the meeting in 
the evening at which the Rev. Augus- 
tine D. Ohol gave a free lecture on 
India. 
Mr. Libby took for his text in the 
morning: ‘ Ye brought that which 
was torn, and the lame, and the sick ; 
thus ye brought an offering: should I 
accept this of your hand? saith the 
Lord.” (Mal. 1:13). 
He told of the ancient custom of 
gift-making unto the gods, how the 
very best of the supplicants’ posses- 
sions were always offered unto God, 
whom they regarded as a jealous god, 
granting their prayers in proportion to 
the offerings made. “To-day,” he

said, ‘“‘ we judge God by the character 
of Jesus Christ, not by the Sultan of 
Turkey ; and instead of thinking of 
Him as a jealous God, we think of Him 
as a loving Father; not threatening 
us, but urging us, reconciling us and 
begging us to come to Him and ask 
for anything. The result is we think 
God is so patient, so kind, he will let 
us do anything and not interfere. We 
bring to him that which is torn, the 
lame, the sick, and think he will be 
satisfied ; we can do what we please, 
taking advantage of his kindness. 
And thus a man postpones joining the 
church, and says he will wait until he 
is older. Another begrudges what he 
gives to foreign missions because he 
would spend it on himself. If God is 
love we should not feel like that 
toward him ; our best is none too good. 
We shall never satisfy God until we 
love him with all our heart and soul ;
