BER3MON 1Y TIE BEY, BOBERY COLLYER. The Rev. Robert Coliyer, psstor of Uity Church, yeeterday morning prosched the follow- Ing sermon to s Iarge audience, takiog for hia text : Man becarmo a living soul,—Genesis, (4., 7, And that is tho reason why we wrclo 1876 yes- terday at tho head of our lettors and ledgots, as it is tho reason for all the dates thas Ate kept by tha family of msn. 3lan becamo a fiviug soul, and then, one mny sav iu all reverence, God lad nolyed tho questicn that Lad beeu waiting fora solution, no man can guess how long, aa to what Iio meant todo with tho world Ifo bad made. Things, £o far as two can seo, had como to & dead Jock, fho purpote of (hem, and tho meaniuny, was writien in o cypher to which thero was no koy. They were, indced, o vast array of cyphers waiting fur au unit. Thominerals in tho sunless mivos woro as yet a dead investmeut. Tho beauty and fragrance of the flowera all swont to wasto, Tho fraita aond ecods suppliod their bit of provender to beast aud bird, and then foli back to the dust to spring sgain, and grow, and dio; oud tho thiogs that ruu and fly wero bound by tho samo fetters. The wholo Creation was waiting to bo delivored, gronning and travaiing 1o pain togethor, and asking insome dumbd way, * Where is tho use, if this Ia aN?" Taero wus an im risuned wpleit fu every treo, as tho old Greeks would say, and {o every fountatn aud hill, but thece was no liand to smile away tho fetters and bring itout, 1f Iheld out v applo to our Bunday~ scuonl, or o liead of fine wheat, and said, * Who ande tuess? they would ausier, “God;" but that would not ho the true nuaver. Ilo madea orab and a weedy sood ns dilleront from my hond of fine wheat rs the wild rice Is from thnt we bifng to our tubles. Then Ifo Iroathed into man the Lreuth of lifo. and man became a liniwg souk: and lla made the wheat oar and the apple, L havo woen fha shop- herd's dog on the moursselect his mayter’s sheop from tho great flocks waudering over the waste, and bripg thum every ono about his feet withoat aecratoh, Thoat dop's whola busineas in thu wozld, down to this day, would bave buon to run duwn sheep aud aoyour thom, bad nut mau bo- cowea living coul nnd tau;Lit bim uee, aud duty, and soll-doutal. Mr. Josse makes the record of a dog who ucod to carry bis master's dinnor fn a busket, Ile was soi upon ouo day by u great brute, who worriod him aud then oat tho dwner, Ho went amoug s friends aud reported wuat had bopgencd. Thoy went with him, 82t upon tho cilminal, whose councicneo had al- ready made hitn n coward, und mado tn” weary of his life. Thoso dogs wore fitter to eit on a jury thau sonsetocu; tho fl\’mf eoul bad made thom eo. Cowper's dog saw liis master try to roncl a water-lily aud glve it up; noext day, a4 thoy wers passing tho pond, without a eign frow the poct. the dog lcapt into tho water. broko off thet hily, suu brought it to bis master’s band. The toich of cloar intelligenco and loving service coms 10 tho dumb beost—na wo cail i, because wo canuot understand Ty Jaoguugo—Irom the Jiviug sonl of man, And 80 it was with tho wholo order of tho world, Evorythiug was waitiog for tho lst who phoutd bo ficat, Ihlnl‘ to itsolf s yet, and dying to itself. Tho coal hnd ecured up tho firg to uo purpoeo; tho limestone, the suclls, and tho brutes, 8o far a3 wo can mauo them out, might loach moro things, but could vover learn ligber things, a8 those doge did I have won- tioned for illusteation. The wheat must sty in the wead, and tho apple in the crab; and in'the ordor of the world as we fiud 1t we are justitied 1in supposing that the Croator Hunsclf could do or would do no more unul £lo had sot this hand and bralu at work with a liviug soul to diract aud inspiro them. Bo it is no matter tryiug to count tho yours or the aged boforo tho man ap- peacs. It 18 cuough to do Just wuat we have dono,~make s 1ough gueen, Ly periods, conmo within o few miilion years, perbaps this wav or that, and bo contout with what scoms to bave cuntonted the Divine Contriver. There was no such thing ns n momeont roally and truly uutil thero was & man, \When thoseor heard the angel say that timo should bo no mate, the word reached back na surcly a4 it reached forward. Thoro was a time when timo sas not as wo have it now ; timo camo iu with the living soul, aud then thore waa a now wonderin ieavou, But wo havetosve oncemorothat thislivingsoul must be of a wortls in the mossure of tho woalth of Jifa ; iteau hold and give out, Thero 18 a hiut in our Bible of wen who must have lived bofore Adam, but there is b0 accoantol thewm, bacauss, 1 nuppoue, they were what wo wonld call io this couutry no-account men, 'Theiowaa a first man once who took hold of the thiogs that wore growing all about him, and bozan to disimpriaca them to bring outthoir indden uses and qualities by = divino_inspiration, i & garden which bhe dreesnd and kept: sud to flud out the natares of tho thinga that o aud fly, to become aoquainted with them, as wo should xay, wiien wa tlunk of Cawper ond his dog ; and that was tho first man, the sesr would tell us, wlo rovealed tho wecret of a living soul. It you a8k me whother those who went befora bad living souls, I waive the question, o ihoe seer does, and way this man who tools liold of the world and triod to open its waiting secret was the man who marked the yeur ono [u thie world's great calen- dar, Thero wore men in Australia,—if you can call them men,—when the lirat navigalor came there, but they bad no more bhistory than so many monkeya; aud, 8o far a3 1 can loarn, they had not done tho fiist thing to hift tha world thoy lived 1n out of thoe condition it was in wheu they catne there, They Lad vot planted s seod 80 =6 to bring out its latent quality, or inepired & brute to do snything tigher than foar them. ‘They knocked their wives sonveloas and carried them off to tueir lairs as tho fist condi- tion of Iho eocial order, and wore less couslderato about their offspring shau the Kangarovs ihoy huntea domu. Aund so, through a time of which we have no {dea, they camo to nauglt ; thoy kept no ohrouology snd were of no account, becauso they never by say accident rovealed the hving soal, It Is twelve years loss thian m contury sinca mon with living Bouls planted tho irut colony there, but no muu can doubt thut the free weok fo that planting way worth moro to this world, to the human yace, aud, me mny eay in all 1everenco, to the Maker, than all tho thousands of yoarm during whict it bad boen cumbersd vith thoss poor, forlorn, sud savago foiks, sud tho frat stroke of work douv the:o (i this direction was tho firat mowment ju the year one ju_ Ausiralis. Because, a8 you will koo, the question i3 not one of nere existence, but of life. 1t is pot of how long or how wany, bus how much sud of what quality, Bo, whieu wa yeturn to the sacred Book and uzzle ourselves sbout the long life of the men Enmxo the flood, I would eay it took them so loug to hive rathor than tnat they lived so Jong. They seem to be akin to the geologie periuda, ia which hme, 33 We use it now, was of such small account, becatse we can discoyer uo such inteuse action of the iving soul in them as this that Las litted the world vut of its waliing atti. tude into uuch a fullaess sud fiuonoss of hifo wao can find i this new year. Methuasluh lived an bundred aud cighty and ssven yoars and bogat Lamech ; aud Matbuselah lvod ‘attor Le bogat Lawoch geven huundred and ciglity and two years, and baget sous aud daughters ; and all thedays of Mothusclah wore nina bandred snd sixty and nino yesrs, and ho died; and that 1 all thero” in to toll about him, becsnes, I suppoeo, [t [a really all thero ia to him. Ho had living soul, I presums, but itssems as ifall the poor sonl could do was to make s liviog and send some ol ita own sort forwnrd, sod, If thorocord of the years is right, it took bim all that while to do tiifs, and then to get away oub of tho world, Or it may be trus in thin way: 1 lnow a family I can traco by the sams pamo for mora Lhan 600 yexi Thoy live in the heait of England, but they have not yot heard of Lutber, oxcopt that thore wes a man of this name who weapossensod with adowil. and did ngreat deal of milnchief.
