The South Reiormea church, corner of Twenty- first street ana Fish avcaue, bad a fair share of worebippers yesterday morning, Tne regular pas- tor being absent on an important mission to Lon- don, tae pulpit was oecupied by the Rev. Dr. A. Rh Van Nest, lave of Florence, Italy. This gentleman, after informing the members of the congregation that the church would be closed in two weeks, tu be reopened in September, snnounced as the sub- ject of bis discourse the theme of “The Prodigal Sen.” He chose ior his text St. Lake xv., 11-l6— “and he said, A certain man had two sons; and | she younger of them said to bis father, Father, | the devil, give me the portion of goods that falieth to me, | And be dividea unto them nis living,” &c, Tais | account of-the prodigal, considered a8 @ beautiful story in lile, he began, is very interestin; In the cider sn |g shown the narrow spirit of the Jew, and in the younger som Jesus represents any sin- ner Wao wauders from Goa.

CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH. HOW TO FIND FAVOR WITH GOD—SERMON DY MR. YEAMANS, Notwitnstanding the oppressive heat of the weather a goodly congregation was gathered to- gether in the Central Baptist church, Furty-sec ond street, between Seventh and Eighth avenues, Almost every man, woman and child in the con- gregauion waved & fan, 60 that the body of tne church looked like asea of flattering palm leaves. Rey. W. Pope Yeamans, formerly the pastor o/ the church, but at present stationed in St, Louts, oc- cupled the pulpit, The text of nis discourse was the twenty-first verse of the third ehapter of Rey- eiation—"fo him that overcometh willl grant to & sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my father in wis throne.” The preacher sald:—The religion of Jesus Christ comprehends much more than to sim- ply change our relations with the divine govern- ment, so that we may escape the consequences of guilt, It is much more than an arrangement ’ whereby we are enabied to elude the punishment due to ein. It is a revelation to us, showing us ex- actly What we are and what we are expected to do, aud invoives ali of our relations to God our Maker. A desire to get to heaven is certainly a laudable enough ambition, and the accomplish- ment of that object Is a thing most devoutly to be wished fer, but the iostering of that wish ts not tue only province of tae Christian religion, The religion of Christ 1s a system—tif system it can be properly calied—that does nos purpose to deliver us at once irom the power of sin or remove us irom the danger of temptation. It purposes simply 30 bring into contact with our na- tures & sapernatural power, association. with Whien Wil aid us to cultivate our natural reil giosity, 80 us to FIND FAVOR WITH GOD, Rence the Christian, thougn ne may feel that he Das been transiated irom tae power of darkness unt the broad light of the nounday sup, has stid @ great work to do, for the text says:—' bim that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne.” A Obristian’s ite is therefore a con- Mret, or, indeea, a succession of conic: ving one great Ooject always in view—the nécessity of overcoming, St. Paui bas told us that the spirit justeth aiter the flesh and the fesn iusteth against the spirit. It is necessary, therefore, in order to fight tne good figut of faith, to put on tne whole armor of God, That is the work which «s Christian 18 called upon to perjorm. I thimk that too frequently people are mistaken in regard to the teachings of Teligion, It nowuere proposes that the Christian shall ge floating into heaven on beds of roses, or that Nall be Wa'ted into the Celestial Cuy on CLOUDS OF PERFUMED ZEPHYRS. We have to fight because our sitting on the throne depenus upon our overcoming. The vital point, therejore, is to find out What We are ex- pected to overcome, It has been my experience, ana, | think, it nas been the experience of every struggting Christian, t! the cmief stumbung biocks are found in ourselves, Itissaidim the Bible, and consequently it must be true, that we Dave to contend against the worid, the flesa and but tell you, my friends, if we have only overcome our OWR weaknesses and properly guaraed our owo vulnerable points the Worid and the devil can do but little harm, i we are only strong within the rest will be com- pana hy | easy wor!

The attendance at the Highteenth Street Methodist Episcopal church was yesterday very slim, although the sermon deserved a larger atiendance. Rev. M. 5S.
