The Lessons to Bo Gathered Thersfrom. MEN, NOT IDEAS. Sermon by Prof. Rwinu nt tho Penvth Cliurch, Prof. 8wing preached yesterday morniug ub tho Fourth Churob, taklug as his toxt: Unto the myenaura of {ho siaturo of the fulluess of Qlrlst.~Ephcsians, 1., 13 Boforo the power of theso words can be folt, it fa nocessary for you to rocall for o momeut the sponker and tho audionco. ITow often, in rend- {ug some oxtract, aro o thrilled with = now gonso of ita valuo and cloquenco, whon upon turning a pago wo suddenly find that it is from Bossuot or Puscal, or from Macaulay or an Alligon,—nomo brain suthorized of Ienven to fling its thoughts out pon socloty. Tho right tohurl words out over the whale wide world fu not, by any means, univorsal, but acems to have boen cooferred by tho Creator upon only = fow in emch nation or epoch of bistory. To theso worda—*" Unto the measure of tho staturo of tho fullness of Christ"—additional weightscoma added by the romombranco that Pzul ntterod thom in his polmny days of religion, and entbusiasm, and clognence, and leadership. Poul comes to us, not a poor nulaught ehor- man, but & powerful orator and thinker,—a kind of n great Athenlan, alost after tho fashion of a classic orator. That boauty of Greckscholer- ship and culture, aud that power of ecloquencs which hnd died nway at Athens, soem to hnve Joft o traco bebind i tlis Paul, In wiom wo s00 tho imngo of liborty, of lenrhing, of breadch, and of the orator's art. It will aid us in extimat. iug tho valuo of the text, if wo remowmbor nlso that Ephesus was one of the now centres of the world—the ruler of tlie then courury, as Romo and Athons hiad boen tho rulers of o largo past. I'ho brendth of Panl mads himthe it apostle of & world-wido religion, in which Jaw and Gentilo should bo ono, and Ephesus wes tho city to which tosend lotters advocating s now height and dopth aud breadth of Christianity, Pliny called this city “tho light of Asia,” and thero Homer was claimed 08 8 son, rud from it camo Parrhasing and Appollas, tho two greatost paint- ‘org of antiquity. Whon_wu yemember theso thinga—tue Paul and tho Ephesus—wo senm able (hio better to realize that tho Saint was not using euy ompty words, but words going to & great metropolitan city from o licart of still grander scopo aud wortkr. Both Puul and tho brliunt city knew something of manbood, for, though the world wag in ite decline, yot tlio age was atill noar them which had produced nothing small, hut hed sont forth illustrioun companies of poeta, philoso- phers, orators, snd statesmen, Ilundreds of mou had lived itt Greeco und Rome, bofora whoue intellectual power and boforo whoso en- firo greatuoss of churactor mauy public persons in our Iand and azo would git doan upon tho footatool of excelicneo. x Lut to Peul’s natwral ides of eharacter, idens dovelopod by hin own intellectunl power, and from his ucarnces to Greek standurds, wo mugt now add tho additiopnl and cxtraordinary fact that Christ hea crossed his pathway, oud had raieed tho ideal and tho ‘earnosthiess of tho Apostle up to @ now hoight 3 und it ts from this throno of observation, and thin divino outlook, ho speaks words ubout tho stature of Christ in all ita fullnoss. 'The old, lofty Cily of Ephesns, tho wido_charactor of Paul, and the matchloss imago of Jusus Christ, ollcombino in this text, as though from this threofold base would rise boforo us an_image of manhood worthy of the love aud imitation of this far-off century, ¢ 1In the nsme of this text, I como to you thia morning with thoughts upon what may bo callod tho Christian charactor, Tho Christian roligion {snot ano of worshiponly, not one of fuith nlone 1ot ane of charity alouo, liot 0no of Heaven and hell, but atso o religion of eharacter. It hus not ouly © cross, ot ouly o crown for the future, ‘but it hins for this world, and for eternity 100, an individual character, o staturs of Chist an posi- tivo as its crogs, as valuablo as its crown, While amplo provision is wade in tho Festnmont for tho reception into Heaven of the boggar in Lis ignorance and povorty, and of tho littio cbild in 24 varied wealness, Yet its prges look boyond, and unfola o religion for thoso who aro neither Depgurs nor infants, but who, under tlo uamo of mew, walk tho peat-flelds of fito. ‘That thore sro thousands who cherish their religion as about to Dbe valuable to them somo day, swhen tho grim monster sLal) suddenty come, aud that thors ura 28 many othas who are restiug in o Christianity ihut was only dosigned for the sal- ‘vation of little childven, and unfortunates donled 4ho intellecturl powers' nnd privileges of casth, is paivfully evident; but it is also ovidont that Christianity hus a special form tor thoso who sro ‘born denied carth's advantages, and that womid scorn the career of the imbecilo and tho uncon- seions salvation of the iufant, Cliristionity is of many forma. It has a form hat rony bo partially prasped by the dying thief on tho cross, Lifo coming to & suddou avd ig- nominious end, 2ud NoCing on & cros near by b being who has spoken much of sntvation aud hoaven, tho sufiering thicf eries ont, * Lord, ro- momber me whon Thou comoest into Thy King- dom.” And {haro is a form of salvaiion for the wild ludisn who can Just baroly cross over tho intollootusl " boundary between his Gront Spirit aud tho true Gou, and con shaype bis kifo, though but rudely, oftor tho Bermon on the Mount; 2ud there is & Christian- ity for infants, wud en unconscious ,irnco of God—such that, dyivg Lofore 1ospongiblo years come, uuay il into tho arms of augels aud wro borna to Paradiae ; and, thon, lnstly and most prangly, thoro ia & Chiristintity for mon and ‘women, and it is nothiug elsathan o religion that lifts their minds and hearts both up to the atat- uro of Jesus Chrisk, Itis uroligion that gradu- ally oxcludes dighonor, and fittlencen, and #alf- whmess Szom tho soul, and that gradually lots in thoe lignt and lifo of Christ, What hindors tho spresd of Christianity mors, than tho scienca of T'yadall or tho total deprav- ity of the wicked world, is the scarcity of great souls in the sanctuary—souls that way move along beforo tho buman raco, like great beacon 1ights rovolving upon tho const of the stormy sea. Not buving tho time nor tho taste for in- westigating tho theology of the muny sects, thnt part called tho wicked world confiues its rtion- tention to tho world's public lfo, and comes sliort in itw adminisiretion Boonuso the Church romes short in things to Lo advanced,’ ‘o reason why tho works of Shakspesro and of tho novolists are more Joved by tha multi- tudo, and more studied, than the works of seionco ond ubstract philosaply is to bo found in tho fact that, in the drama sud in tho romasico, not idens, but human beingy, mave along bofore uin wll’ tho impromsivonash of ving souls. Oyer the yomaunco and Lefore tho drama, the heart will woep, beenuuo thors we #ge ous broth- erd sud sigtors moving along in grief or joy, boanty or greutness, aud sucl is tho union of honrts in this world that tha joy or norrow of unother in A singlo instaut beconmos owr owh.

What wna onco a thirst for Tllood, hay faded to only a bitter projudico or a deep ‘nolfishucss, or an ignorant narrowncss; ut, with all this' mitigation, thero it romalug—a gomething far romoved from tho manhood stat- ure of Jesus Christ. Ae, aftor two tuousand years, tho physleal foatures of tho Gormans Bhiow traces of tho qualition which Tacitus saw in his Germevia—light hair and bluo oyoes; as tho Ilebrews sull carry eomothing of tho faco which they wora when Jerusa- lom was in its glory, and Judea's girls pang to the music ot their harps, o tho soul of !lmfimlm'.u family carries within {t, away from sight, truces of that barbarism wbich, likoa blaclk cloud, huuz over tho trst daya of wanhood upou oarth. Civilization is nothing clse than tho cmergence from that eloud, tho slow appesrance of npun from & storm that sprang up from overy compass-point, and rained, and flashogl, and thundered for a thousand venrs. As civilization has emorged slowly in tho State, thus tha stature of Christ bas emergod slowly in tho Churel, and has etill to contend " against “the rawmparts and weapons of tho early dopravity.

Siernion by the Reve Robere Collyer. Tho Rov. Robort Collyer preached the follow- iug sormon yostorday morulug at Unity Church. Hiy toxt wua 2 Jacob sald thia & nono other but the house of God, and thls s tho gato of Heaven,—(encuis, 1l 17, It was a ruggod hatlow whero ho elopt on what a lato traveler calls the backbono of Palestino : a placo covored with vast sheots of bare roclr, which rise now and then into fantastio piles as a8 thoy do in somo partaof Wisconsin. Thorowas 1o house thero, or tout, or sight of human habita- tion, or wayside altar standiug as the hitla chapols stand in lonely places in tho Catholic countries of Europo; only the rocks wero thero, with a treo or two, and tho mounteins aud the sky, and yot, he said, as he was lenving i, ¢ This is none othor but tho houss of God, and this is the gato of Heaven.'" And ho was slone, I supposo, for the first timo in his lifo,.—s mother's Loy, who has beon nur- tnred noftly with tho bost of everything, like & Priuco. Al ho has thore isarock forabed, o bowldor for a pillow, and a crust out of his wallet with a fow dates for supper. Ha bns nosuch backing cither ss would como to wame young mon i the feallug that this in just what tiey havo boon longing for,s splondid adven- turo which touches tho summit of all their do- wires, 'Thero nover was an ltom of-advontiro in Jacob, Me wag bound up iu his heme, but ho bind to loave i’ as the penalty for @ #in, i whicl tho mother and son wera partners,—tho sin of cheating tha blind old husband and father. So it is _u dowert, Jook _ where ho wil, and Do 18 olone in it with a0 ungey brother standing between him and tho tight which stionld now be shiuing ou him from the tent. How b felt a» ho lny down nodor the gtars und beard tho cry of tho jackals through tho etill night, ho never tellsus. It was too #ad, I presiuio, and so too sacred to turn into o story in bottor times, Irankliu could do it, but then bo wes quito another kind of man, better, porhaps, and worse. It i8 pitiable enough, how- over, without his teJling. If his mother could bave scos him, it would hnve gono wmesr to broak hor old heart—to watch him lio down so tivod and lonosow, and pityivg himeclf as slo would have pitied Mtim. " And eo i goes to sloep with {ls great wide aly for a curtain, and a stone for & phllow; slcops nnd wakes, nid then all Is cbangot, 83 it may be to you aud mo perhaps whon wo have zono through tho slecp of death. ‘ho rocks aro ilere o8 ho saw them lust night, and tho mouutning, aud the sl((]y. and yeb it is not the samo place, for o toudor dow of 3 mystery and awe out of Hoaven has fullen whilo Lo slopt. 1t touches overything bo sces witha new color, and trensforms the hard dosolation into tho very presonve-chamber of tho Most High, and so_ho whispors to Limsolf #s ho tlubks of it, * This is the houso of God, this is the gato of Hoaven.” Tt was a vision, a8 wo hoar, that sankes all this dilfaronco between night and morning, but when o try tosea whut they say Jacobsnw, It katistlos neither our reason nor our faith, and I suspect the truth is that the oxpericncs was entirely simplo and vatural to tho man at the tiwe, but s thastory went from mouth to mouth through mnny conturies beforo it was written down, and pssied through channols Btrangoly imprognated with unronsoning and unreasouable wender, it enught thoso elements that mako it now sohard to realize or to vecoivo. No long time indeod is needed to offect such o transformation whon ou find a right man to touch thing with the magioian'e,wand of 5 forvid and oxger fmaglna- tion. Dr. Doddridge, one of tho beat of tho disnonting clorgy of thio last contury, writing the lite of Col, Gardiner, tells of s wonderful and supernatural visiou the Colonol had, which turn- ed the wholo current of his life, from o man of the Cheaterfield typo to that of a pure and truo Christinn, and the story i genorally sceepted.
