He took for his text, “Enter ye in at the strait gate,” (Mathew, seventh chapter, thirteenth verse), and proceeded to show that the mere entei of a sublime faith in the doctrines of Christianity will not suffice for salvation. The example of our Saviour explained in His divine command to take up the cross of self-denial and fight the concupi- sence of the flesh and the temptations of the world embraces the great duty of a Christian life. To feel it worth while to take up the cross and carry it unfituchingly to the end, an inward examination of ~one’s own ‘frailties becomes essential, for every one 1s frail and none can say he needs not a cross to carry. The disciples of Jeans at first had dreams of leading a glorious life in His mervice. They expected Him to lead them B green tures and pleasant murm' waters, He wasto Poever ss peace with the world, while they, after many Jong and happy years spent here, were to be irans- ferred to a happier and brighter sphere of existence. But peace, such as Christ desired to give, was not to be had on such easy terms as His disciples had sup- |. The peace which passeth all understanding and the joy which heaven alone can give, are only to ve bought by trial and victory over self, and he who will not maniully rise and combat in his place the evil in his nature is no Chrisuian and is un- . Worthy of heaven, That man stands in a slippery piace who has achieved perfect worldly success.

Then is Ins danger near at hand, and then 1s he most apt \ to reject the strength trom above, which alone can sustain the Christian warrior in his struggle with *- the enemies of his soul’s salvation. The temptations .. of life are common things and are hago § in the path- ‘way of every man. No mortal lives who has not in » him the elements of discord; but he who can under- stand wherein his weakness lies and at ali wmes, ‘whether in moments of silent contemplation or ainid _ the gayety and fascination of scenes of pleasure, Keeps up an ever wakeful guard and crashes the creeping desire that secks to assall the vuinerabie * avenue of his nature is the one who has taken to himself to tread the narrow path and avoid the wide Portals that lead to perdition. ‘ FIFTEENTH STREET PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. > In the course of a remarkably cloquent sermon (delivered this morning at the Fifteenth street {’res- + byterian church the Rev. Sella Martin told his hear- _¢rs tbat the priest who pretended to the right to . keep his brothers’ conscience was a usurper, the Christian who surrenders his right @ slave, and « that the system which permits such usurpation ; and exacts such submission provoked rebellion, in- ‘eulcated saperstition and strikes at the order and progress of the Church. The principles of the Gus- pelare 80 clear that the commonest of men can Understand them, but they are also so great that no «ne man cap express them, There are two ways ai railing men.

The Rev. S. W. Sampson ‘lectured this evening at ‘the First Baptist church, before the Young Men’s Chrisuan Association, on the New Testament. A ;distincuon was drawn between reliable history, gfounded on observed facts, and its two opposites, ‘the epic of fiction, founded upon fact, and the myin or mere imaginary creation of fancy. ‘This distinc- tion was made by the Greeks—from whom al! these _ Words, story, epic and myth are borrowed—as early ‘sthe days of Homer, as is seen in the Odyssey. Berodotus, the father of Civil aud Aristotle, of natu- 3_ta!_ history, clearly state and observe this distinction 4° the records they collect of established fact, of ex- ® @gerated rumor and of poetic fabrication.

In spite of the bewildering variety and quantity of theatrical attractions set before us the past two weeks by ambitious managers and presumptuous showmen, “Much Ado About Nothing” may be safely set down as the most solidly successful. There are many reasons why this should be so. Wallack’s theatre is unexceptionably located and has for years received the gracious patronage of our most tnte}il- gent and refined people, Not particularly the par venus ond surah einai: Cee. Seer ere gramme papers, doubtful reports of fancy divorce records, but men and women distinguished in art, letters, journalism and the higher branches of trade, and the inevitable train of mediocre but respectable nobodies which follows in the wake of superior intelligence. ” The piay which Mr. Lesver Wallack selected to up- hold the honor of his ancient house in this trying hour of Shakspearean convulsion is one reflecting the deepest distinction upon Mr. John Wallack’s ex- quisite taste. “Much Ado” has been from its earliest representation one of Shakspeare’s most acceptable plays, It was originally called “Benedick and Beatrix,” from its two characters, justly regarded ‘ag the most vivacious, sprightly and brilliant that the poet ever drew, The part of Benedict is-one which has ever shone out brightest on the Shak- spearean shore, and by its alluring brilliancy lured shoals of young actors vo wreck and ruin.

Brougham has managed by force ot native intel- lect, an exquisitely set stage and a delicate regard for Verbal propriety to convene nightly within his charmed wails such audiences as remind one of the gossiping days of good old Pepys, when wits, gay callants, and court beauties made the playhouse their favorite resort. The new adaptation of the oid favorite, “A Bull in @ China Shop,” convulses the house with laughter and develops the genuine strength of Mr. Brougham’s company for fun, pure aud simple. Ever desirous of pleasing his patrons, “genial John” has concocted a Nene, gto val? which shall thrill anew the freshly awakened classic taste of the Manhatianese.
