Sow Well, that a Good Harvest May Be Reaped, Twenty-first Anniversary of the Rail- road Chapsl PURE RELIGION. SERMON DY THT REY. B, 8. IARRIS, The tev. Samuel 8. Harrls, Pastor of St. James’ Eplscopal Church, preached to his con- greaation yesterday morning on the subject of pure religion, touching, in passing, the question .of 1abor troubles and outlining the policy of the Churck with regard to these matters, His text was as follows: Pute rellgion and undefiled befora God and_the sather fa this, To visit the fatfierlcss and widows in their smictlon, and to kesp himsclf nnspolted from the world, . Innumerable attempts, sald Dr. Ilarris, had been tmade to define religion. The first of & serios of Jectures by a distinguished English philologist and phllosopher on the origin of re- ligion had just reached this country. It was cntitled, * Wnat Is Religion!"” and the question had Leen answered by tho distinguished lecturer in hls own pecule lar way. Religion, as he would have It, was 8 subjective faculty for the compreliension of the Infinite. If religlon were wholly of an Intellcctual character, this might answer sufl- ciently weil for a detiuition, but it must not be accepted as conclusive or cxhaustive. Of tho many definitivns of rellgion, the oldest and the best wwas that given by 8t. James, and found in the toxt, What mare complete, what more pathiectic, than this? 1t was Lo be ohserved that it did not derogate from a scemly systein of religlous worship, which was most pleasing to g]m.l What It did do was to set forth the cnrri nal rinciptes of a pure, religious life. Chrisifans could be assured ‘hu they had lound God's word, they might be sure of having found thelr own, and wise were they If they adopted Uid's methods of duing that work, ‘Tho text sct forth, particulurly, two areat departments of Clirlatian service, the first of which—to visit the widow nnd the fathcriess in thelr afMictlon—would clalm his attention. ‘That there was allliction everywlicro was patent. to all, The question was, how to relleva the Micted and still not do them harm. The phil- anthropic wor)d had almost given up the ques- tion ln despair. And yet what uced of a ready solution of this qucstion, doubly {mportant now {n this ago of nnrest, when the mutterings of the caning storm were heard low aud deep! Perhaps the time had come to try (Jod's meth- od—to visit the puor and ucedy In their utllle- tion. Cnrist's diviue plan was not merely to retieve and succor the neody, but to visit them, to share their afllictions, Lo muke common cause with them. Too ulten Christlans wero disposed to buy thelr peace aud silenco thelr consclences h{ throwing alms to the beg- ar, Not o did Christ, who minlstered to the istresacd 1n thelr morest afflictions, It was often best to resort to_this Divine metlod,— merely to visit the aficted. Little m:lzn: be sald, but much might be done. Chriat did not 1s0 the word visit without u deep lnslgut futo ita meautng, It signified the establishment of s friendly rulation between the visitor and the visited. While there were natural grouvs ln soclety, tending to oxclude from ono the mem- bers of auother, yet umong Christians the prin- ciple underlying the whale Gospel of Clrist— the universal “brotherhood of man-—must not ba forgoticn. ‘The time tor this Christian visit. fug was in the time of afiliction, not mercly fn proaperity, ‘This whole duty, in fact, was all embrncfli and sammed up io the words of Christ, that all His disclplea must love onc anothicr. Let the brother in atiliction not only be fed when he was hungry, and clothed when he wes naked, but let bim " be visited and symoathized with. and brought under the influ- ence of love and aftection. How was the com- ing confilet between capital and labor to be averted! The retiedy was not to e found In Communiam, agrarianisw, out-door relief, money, largess, or alms, but in the carsving out of tho_ Christian vrinciple of sympathy. The richand poor were allenated ‘and estranged, Already they had come to hate onp upother; aud soon thoy wonld'smito dua stlother, True, there was much philanthropy on o large scale, but it would uever supoly the place ot.nemnl.‘ symnpathy with the ° down-trodden., Tho heart of o poor man could mot bo bought by money. What he demondeu was re- apect, atfection, lymlmthr treatment as o brother and u frirud. 1lad this ben understood and practiced in the past, no such dilllculty as now threateneditho landjwould huve arisen, el«‘f adonting God's method now it could bu averted. Even the now hated Communists were susvep- tible to thke Influences of Chrlstlan love and nym{mzhy. and when these wore exerted there would no longer bu any such gulf a8 now exist- ed between them and the people of the Church of God. If Christians could mako up their minds to the hirher duty of loving and visiting these peoplo, relleving their wants, and treating them with respect, affection, and "mnnh{. tha danger now threatening the laod night bo warded off, these misguided oncs saved, aud zr:le Church would have fulllled the law of Christ. p POPULAR EDUCATION., SEHMOX BY TILE REV.

Tho question was whether the world wus luborlug under a idelusion, or was popular educahion developiue tutelligence sud promoting public virtue, cr was 1t Laving the opposite effect, He held that kuowledyzo was a benefit to man.

Not much more could apparently ba sald on that text, as it had been used so often In times Dast, yet it was onc of the texts that contained fuod for & vast amount of thought, The book of Nature and the Book of Gud's word were written by the same nand.
