The pulpit was occupied by Rev. W. 8.

Kings’ daughters were @mong thy honored women; upon thy rights hand @id stand the queen in gold of Ophir.” In we above passage the minister said THE BYE OF THE PSALMIST was filled with the glory and majesty of Solomon’s reign Init he aescribes the unparalleled success and prosperity of the kingdom of Israel during the Teign.of the wisest king the world had ever known; the pobility of the scenes that surrounded Rim; his matrimonial alitance with the beautiful Ganghter of Pharanh; the distinguished felicity of this royal marriage. All these seem to pass before the eye of the psaimist like a vision of giory.

They may perish, bat ‘the inatitation ts ever being venovated. ‘Thé first ‘ereat principle which tis Church has ilbgetvated 1s the capacity of the local ‘Ghureh for ‘SELF-GOVERNMENT, ‘with efficiency and wisdom. This springs necessa- wily from the nature of thé Ohurch; for a Churoh simply consists in persons spiritually renewed throagh faith in Obrist the Lord. They are entitied to equal privileges in His kingdont and they are entitled to a voice in the admumistration of-COharch affairs. The Ohburch is independent of Popes, Councits, synods, conferences and even of Other churches, and is amenable to Obrist only. This autonomy it is that distinguishes it from others with which it is in perfect accord in matters Of faith and discipline, And it is our boast, now that the controversy and jealousy of early days have passed, that this churen bas never had tts harmony disturbed—it has never agitated the public by dissen- sions among its members.

There was a full congregation at this church yer terday morning, Father Kane preached the dis- course from Matthew v., 26—"I say unto thee that ‘thou shalt not go out from thence until every fartn- ing be paid.” He commenced his discourse witn the remark that this month of bleak November, with its obilling winds, is a fitting time for serious thougtit and sad réfection, and perhaps for thie reason our Mother Ohuren selects this time as fitting to diregt hearts and for whom we mourn. Although suffering and disease do not always pri the existence of guilt and sin. yet inwardly the consequences of sin are tend suffering. The laws of man s0 Teguinte it, and much more necessary is it that the Jaws of God should conform to the same principle for the preservation of His kingdom. Of the truth of this there ere many examples. Adam, in the ve- ginning, committed a sin which has been stoned for only by the suffering of his entire race. Afid When Nathan fell repentant at the Prophet's feet he ‘Was told his tears had wiped out his sins, but that he must receive that punishment {rom which tncre ‘Was no escape. “THE WAaRS OF SIX 18 DRATH.” God has given us plenty of oppurtunity to atone for sin; how many of us neglect these and strive Sonrou enous ae Novae nance is yoruba denial.

One ‘would think that persons who read the New Testa- ment for the sake of the spiritual revetations it contains would hardly be able to find material for fierce controversy. The object of the book is so evidently to draw all men into spiritual unity, to allay all personal animosity—in a word, to fraternize the world—that we instinctively speak of bitter arguments as unochristian. Suill, the truth ts that men are naturally pognactous, tn- tellectually as well as physically, and when one man has formed a very decided opinion he has no Patience whatever with another . who does not see @nd think as he does. St. Paul, speaking to us, I take it, as well ag to tne schiamatic Ephesisns, bids ‘Us forget our bickerinmgs and our controversial heartburnings in the glorious fact that after all we who are Christians have one Lord,’ one faith and one baptism. I want to talk to you very earnestly this morning about my: idea of the true Church and the trae faith. When I look abroad upon the more than a miiiton of people who live under tho roofs of New York, and remember the fact that only from a quar ter to a third of the whole population ever attend THE BACRED SERVICES OF TAS CHURCH, I am forced to believe two things—first, that there 1s something the matter with the people, and, second, that there is something the matter with the Church.
