Archbishop McCloskey delivered the sermon at the Cathedral yesterday, He took for his text the tnir- teenth chapter of St, Matthew, from the thirty-first to the thirty-fifta verse. He sald:— The two parables spoken by our divine Lord and H Saviour, as related in this day’s Gospel, are not only { apt and beaatiful similitndes, but also a wondrous | and divine prophecy. Our Lord likens the kingdom of heaven, which is the Charch on earth, to a grain of mustard seed, which, being the smailest Of all seeds, grows Up And becomes the greatest of berbs, and even a tree, in whose branches the birds “f the air find refuge, And He again likens it toa Jeaven which a woman took and hid in three mea- sures of meal till tne wnoie was leavened. How post this comparison was his hearers could readily Imagine, at leasi toa very great degree, from what ‘was before their eyes; from what was thea tne be ginning of His kingdom, fis Church on earth, as seen in the persons of the humble and illiterate Bposties whom Me had gathered around Him. It | was in reference to the work they were to accom- phsh that He spoke, and by their preaching, in vir- sue of the commission given them, they were to go forta and gather into His fold one after anotuer THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH, ‘So from that Insignificant commencement, as ap- pearing the eyes of men, was to grow up a king- fom greater than other men ever saw, which was Wo be restricted by no boundaries of oceans, Tivers Sr Mountains, and which was .o embrace in a be- nignant ana paternal sway all the peoples of every tongue, tribe and country, and which, becoming stronger than otber kingdoms, suould outlive and survive tem, itself enduring even to the end of me. Now, by what human prescience was all this foreseen? b; what human agency were these re- salts to be produced? The words of the Saviour were the words of a Divine prophecy touching His charch, and though eighteen centuries and more of time Lave Succeeded the days when He was on earth, TNR HISTORY OF THE wortp has been a continuous Mistory of the fuifilment of this His divine word of promise, It has been tal- Sued in the similtude of the mustard seed, continu.

Helrlooms of Temptation and Their Relation to the Great Problem of Life—How Advanc- ing Civilization Brings with It Plunder of Cities and Pollation of Politicse—Sermon by Rev. Dr. Merrill Richardson. There was the usual large and attentive congrega- tion at the morning service yesterday at the New England Congregational church, corner Madison avenue and Forty-seventh street. The subject of the sermon, which was preached by Rey. Dr. Merrill Richardson, the pastor, was TEMPTATION. He took for his text James 1., 23—“My brethren, count 1t all joy when ye fall into divers temptations, Knowing that the trying of your faith worketh Patience,” Every man is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust and enticed, No man chooses evil because it is evil, but because, like the charm of the siren, he cannot see the evil consequences. He only sees the present enjoyment, This is ail that is intended; for who would rash on destruction Known? Hence James assures ug that God never tempts us in thissense. It is trae, tor God never deceives man by a beautiful exterior. He lets him Know the full puntshment for his transgressions. Satan ts called the Tempter because he is the de- ceiver, His language 13, “Thou shalt not die, but be wiser, happier and have more good.” How could Satan turn holy Adam and Eve trom right but by promises of good—good forbidden—deceptive good? Listening to the Tempter or debating his advice, they were deceived; and often to neaitaie Is to yield. We have here the nature of all tempta- tion. We, like our first parents, have appetite ny | creation. Christ nad it, It 13, like fire, the ser- vant of man, yet, if not used properly, it can become his worst evemy. God never tempts us, but, on the contrary, uses His power to keep us from sin, Yet what hecatombs are offered on the altars of intemperance and gluttony, sel{-sacrificed and knowingiy! Is there one in the whole army of | inebriates who does not know his sia and feel his shame? He has turned his natural desire to an artificial greed and made himself the meanest of slaves to the meanest of tyrants. All along his downward path was written the commana, “Tnow shalt not.” Thus warned he bas no excuse. God has done his best, leaving lim the RIGHT OF VOLITION, the gift to man alone, Having enlarged on this oiut to considerabie length, he proceeded to show read our own—that we may the better GOD'S PRESBNCE IN THE NEWSPAERS, In contemporaneous hi And #0, looking at our own ee cone Which we might at other limes class as mi we see in hae nies or manifestations of the Divine no is history of the Jews ts given that we mar the better Moognize not necessary for us toe Dace three and years fer a.text to illustrate that the end of the wicked 13 Maat he shall be out at tne ii We can find texts and filustrations enough here, ‘The the fall of the 80 dominant in our midst is @ thrice-told tate.

He said we often make as great mistakes from not knowing the limitation of our. powers a3 from the imherent nature of the questions we attempt toin- vestigate. The finite mind can only discern and learn the nature of the qualities and relations of substances and forms. ,What substances are in themselves no one can tell, In the doctrine of our Church we are taught that ALL GOODNESS AND TRUTH have their prominent orig in the spiritual sun, and flow ito man from it. How can goodness and truth come from ' sun?

This desire brougut with it temptations to theft, fraud, lying, deception, injustice, oppression, pride, vanity, eXtrayagance, in short, sins, follies and crimes Innumeravie. Many cbaracters are mace and many ruined through this desire, Ancient Sages cried out agalusi tng CURSED LOVE OF GOLD. Prophets and sposties warned against its deceptive influence and its debasing effects. Why has God made man with so strong a passion for gain? 18 It, on the whole, too strong?

Lesson of the Grent Uprising=The End ho Wicked=Serman by fev. Re Mebver or Newtou. Some time ago Rev. Mr. Newton, rector of the Anthon Memorial caureh, In Forty-elghth streat, be- tween Sixth and Seventh avenues, apnounced to his congregation a series of Babbath evening dis- courses during. the. winer iwontns on we teachings of. the times. Last evening the first of those discourses was delivered on the subject of tne late elections—the great uprising of the people against an iniquitous clique, Mr. Newion's text was Proverbs tv., part of eignteenth verse:—“The end of the wicked Is that he shall be rooted out at the last.” The reverend gentieman gave some explana- Uons of the characteristics of the Proverbs of Solo- mon, Which, while not claiming any particular inspiration for them, are yet full of sound and excellent lessons drawn from every day life, The Bible ltsett he considered not so much a record of tne Jewisn people, aithough it 1s that, but rather a history in advance of, and after which all other histories follow. By its light we are able to read our own individual and national historica het- ter than we otherwise could, ‘thomas Carlyie has weil said, “That every nation’s history Is its Bivie,”’ Itis a blind belief, Which binds God be tween the lids of the Bible and does not see Him in His providences in the world to dav.

It 1s generally conceded among those Interesting Meeting and Exercises at the Laight Strect Baptist Mission—The Sage of Chappaqua Talks in a Fatherly Way on the Evi of Strong Drink—Tho Mistake of Goust’s Eiequence. The mission room in the basement of the old Baptist church, opposite the former site of St. John’s Park, at the corner of Varick and Laight street, presented an unusual appearance yesterday aiternoon. Several hundred persons had come fort, from’ the domiciles in that rather un+ social neigiborhood, and the seats and aisies were a8 compleicly filled as they could possibly be. The aanouncement that Mr. Horace Greeley would deliver an address was the cause of this unprecedented episode in the latter- day history of the old ediGee, A large number of children were grouped near the platform, around the piano, with @ very pleasant look in their smiling: faces, who have the best opportumuies of knowledge that the present condition of things was developed from a lower condition, It is not @ quesdon of the divine creative act (or need not be), but a question whether creation was unfolded by an instantaneons act or by slow evolutions, In regurd to the creation of man we nuve THREE THEORIES, We have the theory of the creation of onc patr, and allthe rest descending from them, The second theory is that Adam and Eve were the ancestors of but one line, and that there were other lines, Tne third theory considers man as the natural out- growth of the animal. Tats gives great offence to many on Moral grounds and to many on scientific grounas, It 1s alleged that this theory cannot be sustained without leaving great gaps in the evidence, ‘These speculations have had an effect on the public mind, Many inconsiderate aud hasty persons have falien from their faith and thrown away the Word of God. There are multitudes of men at the pre- sent Une infected witn the scepticism of science, ‘These speculations lead the strong to dumineer over tue weak. It 13 said that the order o1 creation 1s that there aro ditferent planes, and tne plane of one race 1s that of science to another, It 1s taught thas hts belong to those who can defend them.
