Sermon by the Rev. Mr, Burrell, of tho West- minster Chrch, The Rav. David J. Burrell, pastor of the Went- mivater Uresbyterian Chureh, preachied tho fol- lowing eermon yesterday morning : Canst thou by eearchivg find out God?~Job il., 17. At Belfnst, on tho 10th of August, in tho pres- ence of tho British Aaeociation for tho Advance- ment of Science, un address was dolivored which has crented n widcspread feeling of sorrow and disappointment. For mapy years the Criatain world lias Jooked npon Prof. ‘Tyndall as the forc- most among that radicel but enutions ecliool of philosophers who, whilo rofusing to bo fettored by ereods, and dogmas, and flra- ditions, havo yot belioved, liko the Atbonian eages, in on unknown God. Wo lad learned to think of him as a sort of intellect- ual Samson who, though Lis soul was tredded to & Timnath bride, could yot bo reckoned us our olly in times of war. Dut tho strong man hag shorn his own locks and gono over to the Phil- istines. In this recent addrees he declares bimsell woery of his long-worn disguise, aud, laying off " thomnsk of bonest doubt, he looka upon his old fricnda with tho cold, scofling oyes of an fn- fidel. 1o who was wont toask so earnestly, What is God? now lsughs at tho falsehood of ‘his former life, and says deflantly, Thero is no God. *“Idiscover,” Lo #ays, * in thnt matter which woin our ignorauco and professod revorence for its Crewtor have hitherto covered with opprobrium tho promise and potoncy of avery No noed of a od, no room for s God, Thus tho author of tho prayor-gaugo puts on tlie jointed coat of an atheist, and throws the gauntlst in the face of religzion, theologr, nud moral pliitosophy. 1 do not propose to onter into n discussion of tho quostion,—thoold question,—God orno God? which men biave_beon debating ever sinco tho foundations of the earth wero laid, now raisedin a difforent shapo by this now duparturc. Bub thero are cortain Jossons to ho derived from the more ovent 1tsclf, and to theso 1 invite your attention, and I remark, first, that this 18 thoe logicnl rosuit of thinking without pu- thority. Prof. Lyndall ionot tho only scientist whoto miud, grown lawless by long trespansing on_forbidden gronud, overléaping all barriors and detying the. well-known Inndmarka whioh zopsrate knowledgo froms funonotrablo myutary, s flnally been given over to itu own foollsh fm: aginntions, Among tho watclwrords of o pro- greusivo ngo uono is more luspiing, you nono wora apt to ho misused and travesticd, than tho poputar ory, freo thought. In the cyos of God there is ~ nothing grunder than *the sight of un intellect tepying off tho chaing of custom and projudice, wrench- ing oway . tho Lolis ond bara of superstition, and coming forth Into the swoot Jight of kiborty snd indepondonce, ‘Thivk, think fraoly, think for yourselt, is the firat great com- mundment, not writteh on tables of stono, but interwoven in wman's moral naturo, ke noth- ing npon hearsay.

Ho the intellect of 1wnn goes forth into the provinco of thought, ondowed with tho fullost hborty, yot when that Hberty In new-niodolod into liconue, and the mind becomes o wild rovor of the soa, then the very God who gove it right and powor to ronm at Ian« declaros it oullaviod, aud pur- sues it with his indiguation, Thought {s froe, but, of nll thinga on earth or in licaven, freedom is most limited and oircum- seribed. {Te who thinks without restraint and srithout authority is not a free-thinkor, but a plutonie fibortine, and he who refuses to recog- nizo any wtandard of truth by which tho valuo of thought may bo monanred, Imust of & cortuin- 1y bo lost in ths fogn aud thick shadows of infl- delity.

Our modern magii cannot bo prevailed upon to dony tho being of God; thioy meroly sy that Ciod fs. that ctherenl somothing which Jies behind tho original gorm of life. All'mind is banieled from tho univers, aud back of naiuro stands thin ghost of God,—dumb, sightless, dead aa tho #phinx of tho dewcet; a subtle foreo which can- vot bo approsghed or understood. Yol thia is uot athekun ; alr, 1o, only an advaaced thoology. But_what, in God's namo, are we to love and worehip? Sball wo bow down to tho power of gravitation, aud *“‘sing hallclujahs to the whirl- wind # Shalk wo search with n microncopo for the orifilm\l gorm, and thon o w1 havo found my beloved,” or ask to star-dust for tho girt of elernsl life ? A God who cannot holoved and ontreated is a wmystory and n caricature. My soul thiratoth for God,—for the living God, ~—Tor one who shall be near to me fu overy timo of troubls, who shall mavk my tears aid” hontts nches, who' shall listen s riy voico of confes- slon, ind say to me, *Son, danghtor, thy sius bo forgiven.” - Tkink you tbo God of Tyndall con do this? Among tho lant warda of ‘David Strauss wers theso: *“In tho onormous awid tho in- machine of * tho universe, cossant whirvl and hiss of its Jagged iron wheels, omid the deafoning — craeh of its pondevous atmups awd Lnmeors, in_all this tarrific commotion I find mysol o halpless and dofcuselens man, not sure fora moment that a wheel may not scize and rond ma, or a hammer crush ma into powder, and thin sonse of pbandonmont is something awfnl," Yot this was the very man who had said, * For our universo wo demand tho satmo homoge which the. saint beatows upon his personal God.” ~ Buch is the darknoss, tho despair, tho loncliness, into which unaanctified seionca can lead the liuman woul. It tnkes Gad out of duily life, oub of bis~ tory, out of tho order and harmouy of nature, and givos us back tho spectral force that moves tho wheels and bawmers of a ponderous ma. chino. Yet horo agnin we havo merely tho logical ve- ault of o doparturo from tho old laudmarks of doetrinal truth. Lot it onco be deuted thut God i 10 everything, aud we are soon fosced to admit that God is not in auything, Tho sciontist wlio thinka it possible to account for tho growth of a ginglo blado of grass by mero natural law, snd withoul tho intervention of n creative mind, can build upon that slender basa the whola impastug structure aud development, With every step tho originating God is put still Turther away, £ill Tio is only noaded o _necount for the first ntom of matler and its vibration, And this is modara wucionea! This ja that ma- torinlistio net in which . Darnin nnd Tyndall have takon » mirseuious draught of little fishes, Whata comment hove we lera upon tho fact that spiritual troth s spiritusily alacornad,~spicituaily, not sciontificnily, Nover until wo have God within us can wo discover Him alt around us, Novor uutil his lovo dwolls inour eccret hearta can wo detoct his name written on evory leaf, on tho white vestura of tho lily, on every flonting ctoud and crimeon utin- gct.
