BREAD TO BE SHARED It is related of Ian Maclaren th a t he was wont, when he had opportunity, to visit out-of-the-way chapels and m is sions and listen to th e gospel th ere preached. He declared th a t th e most impressive conclusion he ever heard to a sermon was in a little country church. The preacher was an unordained man, a farm er. A fter a fervent presentation of th e gospel, in closing he said: “My friends, how is it th a t I go on preaching to you week afte r week?
