WAREWELL SERMON OF HENBY VARLEY—JUSTI- FICATION BY FAITH. The Churehb of the Disciples was crowded to ex- ess yesterday mornivg to hear the farewell utter- ances of the great Englisn revivalist, Mr. Variey selected for his text Romans, v., 9—**Mucn more then, being now justified by his blood, we snail be waved irom wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were recunciled to God by the feath o! bis Sin, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.” IL am going to give you a few plain and intelligent statements on the great truth of the justification, and, first of all, let e remind you what is meant by the term, It is ® forensic, @ judicial, word—a word that refers to the courts, not of men, but of the hving God, when it is used as in my text, and it is as though those in this house should approach to the living God, in order to hear the testimony concerning them. For ex- ample, suppose I shouid lay before one of your Judges the whole detail of a matter with whico I have been charged; suppose he knew every item, Rothing is hid from him, and thus, with the whole outlook in the matter, says, ‘That man is justi- fled; I tind no fault in him.” This is a great thought tnat I, who believe in Christ, approach pot an earthy judge, but God, the father of our Lord Jesus Christ, and fle says, with a dignity that Pilate never had, “I nnd no fault in nim.” and, bherctore, I want you to observe that the justfica- tion spok2n ol in our textis distinctly deciared to be connecied with the biood of the Lora Jesus Ohrist, for “being now justified by His blood, we | shall be saved :rom wrath turough Him.” Justi- fication has reference, nece-sarily, to the INTRINSIO CHARACTER, a8 man isintrinsically @ sinoner—a transgressor. Ii God were to act im accordance with the law we would be agjudged transgressors, oecause it is not iD the nature Ol the law to justly the transgreasor. it must declare him to be guilty.

Father Farley, Secretary to Cardinal McCloskey, delivered the sermun at the high mass services yesterday in the Cathedral. It was ex- pected by many in the congregation that the Cardinal and the Papal envoys would be present; but they were not, and it seems now settied that the Cardinal will not take an active part in any of the public services held In the Cathedral. The reverend pieacher took for his text the gospel of the day, according to St. Jonn, in watch the Saviour speaks of Himself as the good shep- bera. Cnrist, he said, was the good shepherd who gave His life tor His flock. His rigot to this title He had vindicatea fo the letter by His sufferings and Hin death for fits flock. There was one prophecy in the Gospel which was not jul- flied by the death of our Lord, and that was tne bringing togetner of ail men into one flock and one faith; the number of His Nock at that time was easily counted, He had leit this fuifilment to be accomplisned by those whom He intrusted with the mission to continue the great work liv had begua, Eighteen nundied years had pussed away since His death, aud yes Meu were hot ad O1 One faith, of one fold.

BATIONAL BELIEF—HONEST DOUBT NOBLER THAN INDOLENT FAITH—SEBMON BY REY. 0. B. FROTHINGHAM. ‘rhe Rev. O. B, Frothingham, at Masonic Hall (opposite Boeth’s Theatre), preachea yestervay morning to an enormous congregation that Mied ever able seat, and among whom there was, as usual, quite a perceptibie sprinkling of wel! known free-thinkers. ‘tbe reverend gentieman spoke on the sunject of rational belief, He said, in substance:—The subject of my discourse this morning 18 @ sequel to that of last Sunday morn- ing, An apostle of the early Church, writing to oue of the members, advises bim to “prove all things” and hoid fast to ali that was good tu their faith. At tbat time the reason of man was sup” posed to be the docile recipient of the doc- trines of faitn, and not the mdependent judge of their beauty, truth or validity. To dis- criminate between the good and the evil is what Paul—for he is the apostle I have re- | ferred to—enjoims upon bis hearers, To say that none sre good men or women, for instance, who depy that Jesus is an incarnate archangel or God, would be to condemn to the Inferual regions of damnation the choicest specimens of humanity. Religion is still generally supposed to be identified with revelation, something which human reason is unable to verify and is certainly incompetent | to judge. If this doctrine ts accepted there must | bea divinely inspired church, inspired prophets and priests, and, therefore, we find througnout Christendom that reason is assigned a very sub- ordinate piace. The office of reason is merely that of a faichiul servant to fill the lamps with oil, to dust the chairs, to guard tne temple against pollution, PROBING SUPERSTITIONS. But the rationalist is not satisfied with this, Reasonable religion says the human mind’s first duty is to prove and test and verily, not one thing but all toings. Is anything so nigh or so low | that it should not be judged? Nor can you tell unless you try. Is the mere fact that a system has lived thousands of yeurs a sufficient prool that | 16 18 good and sould continue tolive? ‘Tne oldes! things are irequently the worst, as for instance | ignorauce, indifference, &c. Reasonable religion claims that the grander a thing is the more vividly its mysterivus Veauty should be brought to view. Nay, it claims that inquiry is evea im the interest of religion itseli. There 1s a general suspicion that religion is airaid ot being Investigated, Suid ap eminent preacner:—“ fi in my heart J had doubts avout the immortality of my soul should never allow them to rise to my lips. ‘Lis precious hope Ol mankind must Bot be disturbed,’?

FIFTH AVENUE BAPTIST CHURCH. THE SEVENTH APPEARANCE uF CHRIST AFTER HIS RESURRECTION—SERMON BY DR. ARMI- TAGE. In continuation of st e is series Of sermons on the | tribute to the ui | doings and sayings of our Lord subsequent to His | resurrection, Dr. Armitage, of the Fifth avenue Baptist church, preached jast evening oa ‘The Seventh Appearance of Jesus,” selecting as the basis of bis remarks & passage from the Gospel according to Matthew, xxvill., 16:—“rhen tne eleven disciples went away into Galtiee.” And also from Jobn, XXt., 1:—“Aiter these things Jesus Shewed bimseli again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he bimsel:.’’ He said:—You will remember that when we were with Jesas in the supper rooim, on Chursday even- ing of the great week, He said to His aiscipies, “Alter I au risem again I will go belore you into Galilee.” Then when tne angel at fis empty tomb talked with the women on the morning of His resurrection He said:—Teli His discipies and Peter that He gves before you into Galilee.” Toere was their | home, aud our Lord kuew that at the conclusion | and He evidently wished to meet them, before He sent them on their new ministry, in the very spot where He had called them to His service in the first piace. The speaker described the journcy of the disctples down from Jerusalem and tbeir fish- ing excursion on the lake during the night which followed, from which toey were returning, having | caught nothing, Wen they discover @ strauge Ogure standing on the beach, whose voice au- | dresses them in the jamilar style Oo! tue Kast, | as i: He were anxious to know their success, Or would purchase their catch lor the Market, saying, “Obiurea, Dave \e any iood? avy | fish?’ Without recognizing Him they answer notbing—His direction to cast their net on tne | starboard side and tue miracuious result (010s, | when Joun, Who recoiectea a similar scene some | years before, sald to Peter, “it is tae Lord!’ The | Jatier, impetuous as ever, pluoged headlong into we sea to swim to Jesus, Alter tue greeuing and the meal which followed came the GREAT DESIGN AND LESSON of the occasiou, lorming one oO!

Jesus had important work wita Peter, and tb introducing tt there teil irom His Ups that wonderiul tripie question tn all its various Joris. Ibe question in the Greek is pot put in the same form Unree times, nor is it answered in the same form, substan tiaily, a8 we have tin Engitsh; and yet the shading is 8o delicate ana pice thai, per- Daps, 1b is Impossibie lo express it In any betier form than that in which it is bow dressed, You may, bowever, get come jaint idea of the care- fully drawn variation of words used by bota Jesus aud Peter when we say that the first question put our Loru Was—"Simon, son 0! Jonas, bonorest viou me more than wbese ?” Peter, in bis reply, does vot repeat she werd “honorest,” put changes the word, gaymg, “Lord, thou knowest that Llove thee.” Peter seems 10 suppose that our Lora’s: word “hobor” was cold, us i, \o use toe ianguage of Arenvishop Trench, “his Lord were keeping lim at a vistance,” thereior Peter lays the word “honor” aside and replies love thee.” The second time the question and answer is repeated in the same jorm, but wieao Jesus put the question the third time He adopts Peter's word of persooai affectiou, as u He Jelt that Peter’s heart was very full and He wanted bim to satisly his longings in @ tull utier- ance; thereiore, He said, “Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thoume?? For the first time in nis ine Peier recoguizes Christ’s omuniscience, saying, “Lord, ‘hou Knowest all things; thou knowest that | love toee,’”? In the repeated question there was a toree/oid probing ol Peter’s soul, as there haa been a tbreefoid denial on his part. When Jesus 88W Lbat nis leelings were Wounded by the Yrepetition it Was enough; it brougiit the trial to an end, aud irom that moment his full trust was confided. And now comes tie threeiold investi- ture of Peter with new responsivilities in his apostolic ofice. He was instructed oy the Saviour to “feed my uttle lambs," mdicating he should rf 1 itan honor and a privilege to minister to tue akest auu most need Mol all the flock.

ST. PAUL'S CHURCH. MUTUAL LOVE BETWEEN CHRIST AND HIS DISCIPLES, The bright sunlight of yesterday morning light- ened up this cheeriul old church, which, standing ag it does m the very centre of the business por- tion of the city, recalls many a memory in the Teeoliection of old New Yorkers as they cross the threshold of St. Paul’s. The caurch yesterday had @ congregation in numbers abou’ tue same as thas which visits tt every Sunday, The sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Mulcahy, who selected for his text:—‘He that nath an ear, let him bear what the Spirit saith uato the churcnes,” &c., Revelation, chap. ti, v.17. In illustration of the text, and also tu its application, the preacher re- Jerred so the primitive times, When travel was dangerous, and when traveilers on tbeir journeys experienced hospitaiities on the wayside which not uuirequentiy Were tae means of iorming te closest iriendsuips, When about to depart tre travelier received from his bost a token, on which a@bame was engraved, known only to the re- ceiver, which Was banded down from Jatuer to son, 80 that It secured in times tw ¢ me the sume ho-pitalittes which were exteuded im the past A covepant sowewnat similar ex- ists between Christ aud His faithiui discipies, A mutual Jove, a mutual contidence exist between Wem.

Still, [intend to preach to-day irom the word “And,” which you Will find in the twenty- seventh verse of the tenth chapter of St. Luke. The passage im which it is contained is:—“And be answering, said, fuou shalt love the Lord tuy God The Church of the Strangers, which the elo- quence of Dr. Deems always fills to overfowing, | Was crowded yesterday to listen to that reverend geutieman’s patbetic discourse upoo the answer | of Jesus to tne Pharisees.

He bad no policy or desigo, and would talx and eat with any, the most wicked who migat chance to be near. fe never thought of what people might say of Him. The parabies tvat He had given touched the Jews, and (uey deemed it expedient to put this bold, incisive man out of the way. Thereiore the Phari- sees combined among themseives to entangle Lim io His taik. To doathing like this requires no skill, but cunning only. It was THE BITTERNESS OF SECTARIANISM, not the politicians, that moved in this thing. Were the Pharisees the vad people of Juaea? No, but the pink of orthodoxy itseli, It was the Church that undertook to kill Him off. When a great man rises it is not the simners, but the saints that persecute bim. Me must be circum. ciseJ, bapuzed and ali the rest of it, yetare they not satished. The three Jewish sects remaining afier Jacea was conquered by the Komuns were the Pharisees, Sadducees and tlerodians. The first hamed represeuted ortuodoxy, tne second heresy aod the third the civil element in the State. The Sadducees were inflvels, not believing in angels, neaven or # lie beyond tue grave. To the Herodians, or poliiiciaus, went the Pharisees for the purpose Of encangliog Jesus. See how de- ceitiuily Lie Was aporoacned. Had they goue to Hin ove boldly their ends Would have veen ae ted; but Mattering Him, calling Mim by high sounding c&mes, Was calculated to throw Christ of His guard. They spoke to Bim words that were true, but the lie Was im their own hearts. Look at the trap that was here laid for Him. Toey put to Him the,most adroit question that was ever framed since the worid vegan in asking Wf It were right to give trioute to C@sar or not. i He Suid no, then would they denvunce Him to tne Herodians, saying:—“Migaty Cesar, dost tuou hear Woat tos Galileean asserts?” And i te au swered yes, Struigutway would the enemies of Obirist turn round to ‘ne Jews ana exciaim:—“Be- bola | this young teacher would have us pay ping scoundrel who sits en- throued in his Wickedness ou the SEVEN HILLS OF KOME, ‘They thought to ciusv rim beiween the upper and nether milistones. But Jesus discovered their bypocrisy. “Why temp: ye me?’ said He anto them. He did not say yea or nay to their ques tuoa, por dia He bola H.s peace, as they thougot He might, but answered in Words that utterly con- founded the Pharisees. And here it may ve ov- served tha: many of us labur unuer a cally temp- tation to Make (ne Words of Jesus suit some end of our own, ‘Ths temptaiion is oiten incurred by young theologians in composing their sermons, When they want to make tue text sult some pre- conceived idea of their own minds.

Religion is a velef in 4 spiritual spoere; morality is taat which insures that our lives in tuis World are use- fui. Im citing Some of tne evidences of mural force working in man Mr. Beecher remarked, Suppose that I was waiking through the els abu saw two meu allacking s Woman, shoaid I | Fon away because their 1orce was greater than miue I WOULD BE A POLTROON TO DO THAT.

UNION CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. Dr. Wild, former pastor of the Seventh avenue Methodist Episcopal cuurcn, delivered a very 1m- pressive sermon yesterday morning at the Union Congregational church, oo State street, near Hoyt. His text was irom Matthew, xxviii., 18— “And Jesus came and spoke unto them, saying, All power is givem unto me, in ven and in earth.” Dr, Wild asserted bis belief in the re- demption scheme asa divine provision for man, aga sufficient and efficient econ my to free him irom sin and its effect. Chrisuanity had a spirit as peerless and majestic as ber doctrine: prac: tice matchless And sudlime as her the ry, She had a reward as inviting ax it was glorious, while her promises were fuil as they were free. The dignity and possiblity of Man in the light of the atonement were imperial aud rand, holy in purpose and mighty in* destiny. was 4 miulature God in form, quality and au- thority—supreme in position and command, the ofspring of heaven, Lord of Eden ana King of Earth, For tim nature was timed in circling seasons to proauce a luscious pienty. Secure and Wiulng, ha)py @o@ competent, man began his Edenic career with a potency and promise to peuple the world with a rignteous seed and pledge the revolving centuries to a perpetual peace. But he stoned and fell. Disobedience was sin, and sin begat degeneracy; degeneracy became depravity, which eutailed corruption, disease and death, Thus dishonored, discrownea and shorn of strength, he was driven forsi trom bis garden bome an extie. Then and there Heaven looked upon him With compassion and revolved to reclaim, re-endow and recrown him. The posses. sion ot all power was the groundwork of our faith im the resurrection of the bouy. ln the cen- | tre ol the universe is a human heart whose puisa- tions are the life motion of the world, whose orain 1s the great citadel of thought lor the universe, From tiis standpoint the Doctor chronicied the expression of the Saviour’s power duriug Mis ac- uve ministry.
