The annmval sermon of the New York Bible Bociety was delivered last evening at the Presbyterian chureh (Rev, Dr. Alexander's), corner of Fifth avenue and Nineteenth street, A largo attendance of the congregation and sup- porters of the Society took place. After the performance of # voluntary the services were opened by the Rev. Irasc Ferris, D. D., who offered up a prayer to the Almighty for ‘the prosperity of tho Society, The S4ih hymn was then chaunted. Rev, M. L. P. Thompeon, D. D., of Buffalo, N. ¥., ao- cording to announcement, proceeded to deliver the annual sermon on behalf of the Bociety. He took as his text the 19h, 20th and Zlet of St. Matthew: “Then came the dis” ciples to Jeeus apart, and said, why could not we cast him ovt? And Jesus said unto them, because of your unbelief, for verily I say unto you, if ye have faith as a grain oF mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, removes bence to yonder place, and {t shall remove, and nothi shall be impossible unto you. Howbeit, this kind not out but by prayer and fasting.” The reverend gentle- man eaid, the murtard seed, although so small, producer large tree, and like faith, expanded mightily. The doc- trine of faith seems to partake of delusion and fanaticism, bot when searched into we find that it requires evidence and satisfactary proof. There must be proof toa man’s mind that there is a Saviour before he can be- Neve in bim. He would allude to miracies and give illus- trations of the necessity of faith; the faith to perform miracles liko those performed by Jesus Christ, is not, hqgever, attainable by man. At all events, it is evident that God ‘dove not intend he ahould have the power to per. form them, ‘Yet some have nded to work miracles like those of Christ, Either they told liet, were crazy, or deceived, A man may in this age really belleve that be has the powor to raivo tho dead, and that he is omni- lent, but this is @ mere hallucination of hia brain. although taan cannot perform such miracles he can remove mountaina. Let the word be spoken and Chim borazia could be taker up and thrown into,tho tea. What should hinder some great mind being inspired with the faith of undertaking ita removal. It could bo done.
