The warm weather which has come so sudaealy Upon us has not yet made any per crease in the attendance at the Ooureh of the Disctples, nor in the earneswess with which Mr, Hepworth addresses bis cougregation, The text yesterday morniug was taken from St. John, xiv., 10, “Aod I wili pray the facner and he hall give you another comforter, that he may abide with you forever.” Jesus did not leave the eartn withoot leaving bebind Him a rich legacy. He promised, not only to His disciples but to all be- hhevers In all coming ume, that they should be visited by the presence of a | Bhat should protect and guide and guard and lead ‘them in their way. This preseace is called by a ‘variety of names in the Olt and New Testaments, ‘but by whatever name called we recoguize the energy, the love, and the active and CO-OPERATIVE POWER OF GOD 4m the humaa soul and life. It is not @ little tn- Yeresting and lustractive to ask ourselves certain Questions concerning this mystery called the Holy Gbost or Holy it, and try to define somewhat Bis mission ou earch.

BEECHER ON CONGREGATIONALISM, LEAVEN OF CHRISTIAN LIBERTY. o Mr, Beecher preacned an interesting ser- mon to @ very large congregation yes terday morning, Be chose his topic ‘rom Il, Timothy, 41, 19— Neverthe the | foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, the Lord knoweti them that are his. And let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.”? He said :—It is the nature of truth, as it 18 developed by human impressions, to gather about it instraments and institutes Whenever men come into possession ofa truth they very soon have attached to them some dogma, some institution or visible manifestation ofthe truth, Aiter @ time men begin to lose sight of the truth and to worsnip its expression or manifestaiion, Thus arises conventional- ism, conservatism and the beginning of new theories, So, churches find in them- selves the elements of disintegration. First fonalsm and conservetism, then | revolution and disturbance, and finally come: sectarianism, Sectarianism is not the result of liberty, but of atcempts at repression. If a churen says to every ona of its mem- bers who hi a new view, or thinks he hus, “Go out,” it ejects {rom it the com- ponents ofa sect or of sects, When the boay is weak it breaks out into boils, so when toe Church 18 Weak, it 18 likely to break up into sects, Mr. Beecher said, alter mentioning the Ways of doubt, and the theological matters which are Cenied i by many people that out of the fact of these dis- | beliefs grows the idea affecting the minds of many otver peuple that religion is decaying.

Of course there was a considerable number of Friends from distant places who would not fail to be in attend- ance, but no small share of the congregation was composed of people who do not belong to the 60- ciety—attracted, no aoubt, by a desire to witness the exercises that took place.

WHITE'S COMMUNICATION. The services opeped yesterday forenoon by an invocation vy Alien F, Fitcraft, of Philadeiphi in which he ‘returned thanks for the privilege of | worshipping Goa according to the dictates of their conscience and under {their own vine and ig tree on such @ beautiful, glorious Sabbath morniog, He was followed by Join J. White, of the same cily, He commenced by remarking that ttis tne Spirit that bears witness, because the spirit is truth which, with water and dluod—the three be- ing one—serves to secure salvation. There was no piace ta the Scriptures where this passage could be iound before the tenth century. Bere Christian confesses that Christ 1s of God, and al who wold that Christ ts not of God become of Antichrist, of whom all hi heard, What is the Spirit bab 16 essential to salvation? According to the teaching of the Divine Master, unless we are baptized by water we cunuot see God.

A day is ap- pointed to judge all mankind, Waat 18 that day?

Mrs, Rachael U, Rogers next addressed the meeting. 1 kKuow that my Redeemer «liveth, she said, through the inflnence of the Holy Sprrit. | He can upen the eyes of the blind, give hearing to tne deaf, cause the lame to walk and loosen the tougue of the dumb to utter His pratses.

BOARDMAN HAWTHORNE ON LYING. =| The Rey. J. Boardman Hawthorne preached yes- — terday at tais church on @ familiar subject—that | of lying—and he was listened to wita tne utmost | attention by nis congregation, which was not | large. He took for bis text that passage in the | Scriptures which says, “He that speaketh lies | | | shall perish.” Mr. Hawthorne said that no sin was more universal than lying. He said tuat the spirit of lying was associated with all the baser quall- ties. It was not the open, generous nature which would be guity of a lie, but rather tne low, cunning disposition which | reveiied in deception. The strong man was usu- ally truthval, the weak generally otherwise. We Ona thi m?in the animals. The lion 1s not cun- | ning, be is strong.
