As usual, and expression a portion of the Psaim com- mencing, “O be joyful in the Lord all ye lands. This contained a solo, which was finely rendered in Mrs. Gregory's thrilling soprano, and a duet between the sweet, ringing tenor of Mr. Everett andthe pure, sympathetic alto of Mra, Gardner.

In my first discourse I spoke of the to explain human nature, I claimed that that doctrine had no foundation in fact, that it was a theory use‘ul in a theological sphere, but not in the leastin the practical sphere of tu- man affairs; a doctrine that explained nothing as | it was—not the goodness that is freely dispersed | all through humanity—certainly not the evil with | Which humanity abounds, Tne doctrine of depray- | ity does not even cxplain the wretched deel of that poor negro girl who, but two days ago, at- tempted to poison a wLole samily without appar- | that were to succeed them, | of creation, types oi humanity. | Of things of violent propen: | our Jelow men as if they were ham, a pilgrim stranger, leaving hia home, gotti he Knew not whither, and his vr Hoey Braver ation upon geueration, taking up the same labor, walking i the same ‘devious way, suffering all manner of calamity, living, dying, passing away and hanging on the same hope to the generations This superb concep- tion of Paul, greater than he knew himself, pro- founder than he had ever fathomed, wider in scope thau he tad ever imagined, simply what seien- tific men to-day are legitimately, by solid natural effects, running back as far as they can to the very threshold of creation Itsel/, Whatis the doctrine of evolution as taught by Spencer and Darwin, out under another form or in wider conception of reach, this very doctrine of evoimtion whieh Paul | dreamed of, subject to the limitations of his own wer of thought?

Mr. Beecher concluded by tracing the rovidential idea of the government of the world, he diffusion of benign influences in the growth and progress of the age, and the civilizing and blessed infuences of a religious life. The Adjournment of the Piymouth Sun- day School. Plymouth Sunday school held its closing session before the vacation yesterday afternoon. Mr. Beecher very unexpectedly appeared, in response to an invitation sent by a trustworthy messenger, and spoke at some tength, with heartfelt earnest- ness, most loving words to the youthful feeaers of the great Plymouth river.

There was a large and fashionable attendance at Dr, Justin D, Falton’s church yesterday, corner of Hanson place and Portland avenue. Notwithstand- ing the unusual solar heat the Doctor preached | Wita his accustomed vigor. The subject was THE “LAW OF FORGIVKNESS,"" Text, Psalm cxxx., 4—‘But there is forgive- mesa with thee that thou mayest be feared.” The mystery embodied in the words of the ‘nere are three (hings essential to human exist- | Psaimist, readin lho light of existing facts, pre- ence—security of life, security of property, secur- ity of the home, Wherever home is, Civilized or savage, developed or undeveloped, uniess there is security man ls in danger of aunitilation; he must Beotect himselt, he must be certain that ne can lepend upon himself, that he is safe. So of prop- erty. Unless @ man can ail’ nis own his own; unless 1¢ 1s his own to use, to increase, to spéud, to diminish or to give away, there is no possiblity of any civilization or any general improvement. Now, see wiat iniinite varicty human nature exhibits in the means of achioving these very ends, the preservation of itte and property and the sanctity ofthehome.

I believe that no sweeter person nas ever visited the earth than Jesus of Nazareth, I sents the law of forgiveness to us in the terrible profonndity of its meaning and the wonderful | biessedness of its nope, Let us study this antject in the light of Scripture andthe light of expedi- ency a3 woil, and the fact will appear that the forgiven man ‘comes in such relations with God and with others as imposes upon him the restraint of fear.

It 18 a terrible blow that shatters our plans. A voice sounds irom | heaven, “Thou shalt worship only the Lord thy | God, and God reminds us that everything in this world is uncertain, and we must rely only on the Verities fe has given us. Now, in Abrahain’s case tuere seems to be a contradiction, — Twenty-five years bejore God had promised that He should live Sr Ife and His seed should cover the earth ; it MONSTROUS ENIGMA, and he stood for a moment in utter and complet? rebellion to the command of the Most High, And yet there is nothing lett but obedience, When God speaks let the earch be silent. What we want to know to obey aay is this—that God's wisdom 1s greater than ours, Ihave no doubt that if we could take a position above griefs that come to us and could see the relation between tbat sorrow and our Own possible development anc education, | we shoald thank God through our tears. All that ig left us in those times is to say, “thy will be done.” The twenty-third Psalm is the rampart between us and all doubt, ‘‘The Lord is my shep- herd, I shall not want; though! walk through tue valley and shadow of death L will fear no evil.’’ And aii through the Old and New Testaments you fina passages that seem to imply that God loves us deepest when we are in the greatest grie!, and in the New Testament the VOICE OF CHRIST ta the voice of one who consoles, I think Christ came for more than any Other reason to tell us We mast trust, Even tn darkness, when we cannot find our own way, He will be’ our guide, Now mark the story of Abraham as it barat 74 Surely we can take pattern from that story, He | was like unto us in his love for the boy, but unlike us in that he peraisted in his faith; what God com- manded he was bound to do, though it involved the murder of his own son, That night he roused two servants and his son and gathered wood and started on his long jour- ney. Abraham could speak to no on?; he seemed to himself like a vessel despoiled of its rudder and slowly dniting to the rocks, on Whose cruel points Must lay hia bones.

There remains one doctrine more, but one— the doctrine that man isa developed creature, that human nature isa preduct,a resnit of ex- perience, & growth, an increase. Each of the other two were theories, This is no theory, but fact. There are but three explanations ot human navure—the explanation that says man’s nature is fiendish, the explanation that says man’s nature is angelic and the doctrine which explains nature as a feeling aiter something beyond, This doctrine of development is, as I have hinted, alluded to, shadowed forth by Paulin the eignth chapter of the Epistie to the Romans in these words that I “The earnest expec- tation of the creature," that is of man, ‘waiteti patient, and said if Plymouth chare could not sing am old tune like “Coronation without the organ, they had not been well brought up in music had arrived and the organ and choir struck up y the leatership of Mr, Camp, who, on the atscovery together and were shortly afterwarda J. ned of the difficulty, had gone to the subterranean passages beneath tic organ to trace its canse, He very Soon discovered it; a large cel bad made its Way into ove of the water pipes and, actusted by a desire either to become a member of the church or the choir, dectued it necessary previous thereto to The moment go through the ordinance of baptism. selected Jor this imiuersion by the eel was inop. portane and Mr. Camp ejected THE FISHY CANDIDATR from tta berth, aad thereby chabied the service of song to proceed with 114 usual organ accompani- ment, Mr. Camp describes the eet as one of ver: fine proportions. and expressed his intention to offer tt ag a Sunday evening sacrifice at kis supper table that night. “Mir, Beecher Was in excellent voice and spirits, and preached with ali his normal power on the universality of the government of till the Son of God,” that is the perfect man, | God, selecting for his text the twenty-ninth verse “shat! be revealed» tor the creatare,” that is man, | of the fortieth chapter of Isaian.

Does your justice in any way exceed that of the Scribes and Poarisees? Have you given way to calumny, detraction, slander and tying? Have you indulged in impurity of thought or action or in drunkeu- nesst Have you kucit in prayer to God each morn- ing? Have you heard mass on Sundays and holy days? If not, then your justice is inferior to that of the Scribes and Pharisees, and you have much to fear.

And when standin; before the judgment seat of God he can but say, “ never Was happy in my life, for I stifled the voice of conscience and I have prepared my Way to everlasting misery.’’ The reverend speaker con- cluded by wing his hearers never to despair of the mercy of God, but to come forward to the foot of the croas, upon which Obrist died for man's re- demption, and there to lay bare their sins, and in penance and supplication, fortified by a firm pur- Re, of amendment, to ask His forgiveness, which le could not withhold. ‘The Blessed Virgin, too, would make intercossion for the repentant sinner, and that boon of mercy would be granted us.

Dr. Deems yesterday morning deliy- ered the third and last of a series of discourses om Romans, vit, 28--“All things work together for 90d fo them that love Goa." Among Oiher things, the preacher said that this text occurred in @ passage which seemed very hard to some porsons, aud was generally avoided. But he saw nothing in any part of the Word of God to be afraid of. There was something wrong in the reading or wrong in the reader when any part of the precious Bible became a terror. Two difMl- culties arose to some minds—one was that so many ceutres and ends should be to the scheme of the universe, as the assertion iu the text tm. pliod; another was the fatalism implied by the Whole passage, He spent some time in showing that these errors arose from a misconception of the whole matter. St. Paul was not speaking of the certainty of the salyation of individuals, but the certainty of the grand scheme of redemption, just as a scientiic man who should state that ® mass of such weight as would destroy the physical organism would kill ® man if it should fall upon him was If there | not declaring that any particuiar man would justified, and some who are not justified are be kilied. Moreover, Paul was describing the plan of human salvation historically, as if afier the com- Plotion of the whole, and not prophetically aa to coming individuals. Paul was teaching that those who were glorified were such as. were justified; and the justified were those who lad been called; and the called were those who were predestinated; fod the predestinated were those who had been foreknown; and the foreknown were those who loved God. The plan was God's, The choice of using it or leaving it was man’s, GOD COULD NOT FORBENOW WHAT DID NOT EXIST, As Li is uttefly impracticable to think of knowing nothing. “There are many called and few chosen," says the Master, If some who are called are not lori+ fled, as the Scriptures plainly teach, then tt may be that some who are foreknown are not predes- tinated, and some who are predestinated are not called, But we know that none are glorified who are not jae and pone justified but the called, and none called but the ~ predeatt- Dated, and none predestinated ont those known, and none known but those who love God, CONTINUED ON NINTH PAGE,
