SERMON I.
THE EMPTY HOUSE.
"When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walk.
eth through dry places, seeking rest; and finding
none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I
came out. And when he cometh, he findeth it
swept and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh to
him seven other spirits more wicked than himself;
and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last
state of that man is worse than the first."-ST. LUKE xi. 24.
