THE CHURCH OF CHRIST. | An Intelligent View of Muwe Religious Re= | sponsivilities=Faith and Obedience Only Necessary for Salyation—Brilliant Lecture by the Rev. C. C, Foote, The congregation at the Church of Christ, West ‘Twenuty-siguth atreet, near Broadway, was small last evening compared with the large congrega- tom whitch usually attends this church to worship and fortify thete spirits agatust the Insidious attacks of the evi! one. Vartous rea- sons might be given for the fewness of the worship: pers last evening, but 1t might leave us open to the charge of being evil-minded if we hinted that the hot weather or (he many facilities which are given on Sundays (0 the citizens of Gotham to enjoy them- Selves by ane and bay had anything todo with the sparsity of the congregation. THE SRRVICES were opened by the singing of the 482d hymna, be- ginning ‘Tie Ns een that can give Sweetest pleasures wile we live; “Via tellyion nist supply. Solid com/ort while we die. An impromptu prayer was offered up, in which the Lord was implored to bless the twiltgh’ of ihe lives of the older members of tie ehureh, und prepare ihem for the = en- tance into tee beautiful Elysium of the hereaiter, and to make the younger menibers diligent and pros) )Us iu business and steadfast of spirit iu Ute se vice of the Lord. Another appro- pre hymna having beep rendered in a fine and effective manner, the Rev, C. Foote lectured his staurse Congregation om the love and power of Ged fad the eflorts which it was necessary Jor man to Make to ensuve Ina salvation, Before beginning the discourse he remarked that Ute unusual smaiiness of the congregation might very likely be accounted for by the fact that the corner stone of ® new church was ng iad ut Harlem that evenlig. Taking his ext irom John, xiii, 17—“If ye Kuow Cuese (hugs, bappy are ye if ye do them?—he commenced by saying that tie words quoted con- tatued three suggestions for the reiigions and redlec- tive nun’, They were to kuow God, to obey His conimmandments and to enjoy His blessings and graces. He Wd uot beteve it was so diflicut a tung TO KNOW GOD, as some people imaglied. If any ordinarily Intelli- gent man or woman studied the Gospel with a can- dil spirit and a clear, unprejudtced avind, ne fett verlain Gia he or she would step pari passu into the fall aud perfect Knowle ige and uaderstanding of the attributes and essences of the Lord. As God tas ‘ignified man With hs image and likeness, so has he cudowod him with an intelligence equal to the istupding of him. He combated and de Nicd the proposition that GOD HAD MADE MAN HIS SLAVE. to worship tlm in fear and trembung, ‘The Maker has given man not the spirit of fear, but that of contidence; not a groveiling and slavish mind, but & clear and thinking one, God met man on the broad plane of that intelligence which He had endowed nim with, He regretted that man did not uader- stand Jesus better, since tt was so easy to do so, If Mau «id, there would be a higher, more Intelligent ana nobler religion than exists among most people at present. He wished them to understand that GOD HAD HIS PART TO PERFORM in the sa'vation of man as we!l as man himself. The great difference was that God always performed His part, wile man yery olfen neglected his, and this Was a matter of marvel to him, since all man was asked to do was to believe and obey, not in a blind und slavish taanuer, but tn a free and intelligent one. Once the ligat ot the Gospel beams shone around and ilumined the mind and spirtt, he beiteved that man’s salvation was accomplished, In conclusion, he es ed them to study tue Gospel, learn the les+ sons of trne wisdom contained therein, and be guided by them through iife, 80 that tuelr entrance into the next world would be bright and happy.
