One of the most popular legends of Brittany is that relating to an imaginary town called Is (pronounced Iss), which is supposed to have been swallowed up by the sea at some unknown time. There are several places along the coast which are pointed out as the site of this imaginary city, and the fishermen have many strange tales to tell of it.According to them the tips of the spires of the churches may be seen in the hollow of the waves when the sea is rough, while during a calm the m...

A famous teacher of Homiletics in an American school used to tell his students a generation ago that the one kind of preaching which always wore was the Expository. The experience of his students, now honoured and wise leaders of their own generations, has many times confirmed this.

How often do souls sit in a very ...

People are not apt to do this ...
