God as Father in the Lord’s Prayer teaching
The sermon explains why prayer calls God Father and how God’s gifts and protection come from his foreknowledge. It contrasts the distant, fearful God of the past with Jesus who presents God as a loving Father who grants immortality and grace, guiding believers to address Him as Father.

Discovery of Madagascar Roc Egg Impresses Natives and London
Natives near St Augustine's Bay unearthed a giant roc egg believed carried by a hurricane. An Englishman now holds the white brown egg in London, measuring about 38 inches by 26 inches and worth more than an auk egg. The piece rivals the ostrich in size and would need many emu or chicken eggs to equal its contents.
