Prof. Bwing preached yesterday morning at the Central Church, taking as his text: Ye which have followed Me in the regeneration shall ait upon twelvy throncs.~Jatl., e, by, ‘The survey of man as a destroyer, which con- sumed the last Sunday moming, was a painful task compared with the consideration of Man ns. a Bullder. Man as a destroyer opposes God, op- poses all the kind feelings and better judgment of the human raze; but man os & buflder {s man in harmony with all the universe. To view him in that light will be like Yatening to a song—to the very musie of the spheres. To be upon God's side Is so great o joy of the soul and a0 wise a condition of rcason, that one, upon men- tionfng the {den, feels that he has passed up from malarfa into tho pure alrof mountains. ‘The possibility of man’s harmony with God Clirist condonses into the magnificent stnte- ment just read: Yo which have followed Me in the regencration shall sit upon twelve thrones,! Of all moral bullders, Christ is chicf, Of the temple of man He {s Mnster-builder, and all who follow Him willsit upon the Ligheat throne of power, In thinking upon our theme, let us first mark bow nuture infalllbly points out the truc path for man. Evergwhere noturs s a most patient bullder, It tofls forever, and forever garners up its daily results. A distinguished writer says that the shovelful of earth which manin a moment tosses about in lis garden nature was a thousand ycars in making. That soil, perhape, waa gathered in by gravitation actiog 1pon tho shapeless cthier; then came a solld earth, then fire, then ralus, then frosts, the rains again and sun and frosts and storms, und at last, at tho end of thousands of ycars, man is admitted in an Fden all ready for his plow or spade. When the leaves fall in autumn, nature eaves them and wraps them around the carthy—robes of new richnese, There fs a new and large crop of verdure and blossom {n ench December shak- ing of the dead leaves, Nature moves before us aa u bullder. flaving made worlds, it builds up the detalls of each plauet, asthe pafuter, lmvh\{: matked out his plan, sits down to work ur eacl artieular with cave tho most patient. Ilaving locked out u universe, the Inflolte power then bends over cach foot of Jand and sea and passes on from the siinpleto the complex, untll a blade has turned into the full ear, until the scorn hus becoino an onk, unt!l the rude mammoth und all the great coarac monsters Luve glven place to that lofty antmat called man. Even the little coral inseet catelies the widespread Insplration of making something and rears ita structure in mid-geeat, Iuto such o scene inan should come as a crea- tor of the new and the good, or he has no war- rant for coming. The excuse for his presence must o found In the nreaum‘[l»uun that the world is to grow In his hands. e is to put his shoulder ta the great wheel, and unless ut his toucls the car moves forward an fnch, or at least shiakes u little, ho cannot. produce any certificate of right In thy world, When some” vender of ardent snlrits defended his traffie by saying that ne must sustuin his own life, the philanthroplst replled that he could not seo the necessity of such aresult. ¥From the structure and dal) habits of nature evidently the human race and ench Individual of tlie raco wust find the renson of cxistence to be in the hnpulse man glyes to tniverse whose motto Is “Onward.” “As God Himeelf is avast Creator, so nature, His embodi- ment, Isalways strinegling forward toward great- cr and better results, uud hence man, His child, must pereclve the great law and cast hlmlcl{”‘(‘nliy upon it, not as a slave bends to tuil, but ue a hiero mounts the chariot of dea- thy, If one will recall for 3 moment what o creator the Heavenly Father is, it one will pon- der awhile over the llumenalty of the universe, e will suon feel what a bullder the Father must have desizned man to be, and will cry out In regtloss longings, © Lord, what wouldst 'Thou Dave mo to dof”" Thia Inquiry, ralsed by the sout over tho condition of ftaelf or of its fol- low, fa thu largest question that can he sprung.

ORDINATION, MR ISAAC C. PALLIS FOR MISSIONARY WORK. The ordination services of Mr. Isaac C. Fallis at the Miclgan Avenuc Buptist Church yester- day alternoon were intercsting ard solemn, none tho less 8o fu the light of the line sclected by the candtdate.. Mr. Fallls has determined to plunge into tho most arduous of all ministerlal dutfes, und will soon leave thia city en route for the land of tho heathen and the fleld of the misslonary’s labors. e wns exumined last week, and found eminently adapted to tho work ho has chosen, and the cheering words address- ed to bim yeaterday wore well calculated to In- spire hlm with courage to meet Iis self-imposed task. The nudience was not large,—~the sleigh- ing waer too good,—but those who did attend ap- peared deeply interested in the excrelses. The Rov. J. W. Custls, pastor of the church, preached the ordination sermon, Ho said the partlality of Brother Fullls hos .chosen him to preach the ordination sermon, and, though the duty wus pleasant, ko had much rather have lis- tuned to some othor pastor, espectally In his(the speaker’s) own church, Calllug nttentlon to the language of Paul's Flrst Epistlo to the Cor- iuthluns, eecoud chupter, sccund verse, ** For I determiied not to know anything anong you suve Jesus Christ and Him crucltied,” ho spoke of Paul's funatlclam, giving the lexivographer's definition of tho term, und hoped that God would adorn the world with more such fanatics, Consldering Taul as a misslonary, he quoted from tho Episties to demoustrate’ that Poul was tho oxemplor of Christ jo all ages. Pussing on to the minlstry of to-day, he spoka of the essentlul differonce butween the man of the world aud the man of the pulplt, contend- ing that the latter could not do some things that werc even laudable u the former, ‘Yhe minister must be enveloped in his work as n a tloud. Only by doing this csu he reach the stature of u minister. The Christian minister must sbandon all ambition to rhetorical and oratarfeal art, It has always been considered a grand awbition to wag tho sllver tongite, and ho had no desive to imderrate tho power of eloquencs, for soiue of the nobleat apecimens of oratorleal und_rhetorical excollence lad been afforded by Christfanity. But ho must urge that the sloquence springs from the thome aud not from the may, that the Inttor bosunk in the formor. It I3 the Cross, aud not the draper: of words, that shows God's worl to the world, and the preacher wust hide himsclf behind the Croes if ko would henelit inaukind, The Chrlstian minister should atudy ulllguutliv and improve himself, but ho st muke bis learning subor- dinate to the work of saving souls, olso his mlulstry becomes a shipwreck, ~ As the servants of Joaus Chirist, the ministers must be workers and not dreamers. The one work of the Chrlatian minlstor is to preach Christ, not to b saciuble, not to be learned, not to be influeutial. None of theso things must luterfere with the preaching of tho word., Bowme ministers think themselves financiers, and institute a system of cumr‘mmlm between evil mn\woml; othors think they were oreated as spoclal supervisors over Rominn Catholldsm, and for these they abandon the Hle-giviag cross. From such gor God dellver us, Bomo of the most brilliant in- telleets In Chiristlanity have vxercived the mast baleful influence, They milatuke their walk, which shonld bu with Christ, a Man portect fn 113 humanity, « God grand fn'fiia Divinity, Busing all Christhanity, plety, aud morality upon the crucllixion, Mr, Custls descrlbed the death scena at Lhe cross in much of the very elo- r\m:m: he had Just condemned, und pointed to the grouwning, ul{mg Jesus aa man'’s explation for bia moat rucklesd misaceds, And this wus ths Gospel that the Christian minister must o bimself with in Lis strife with sln, und luok. for lls reward ut the hnuds of the Lamb thut sitteth ou the rlight hand of God forevermore.
