TEMPLE AHAWATH-CHESED, STRUGGLE BETWEEN TRUTH AND PREJUDICE— SERMON BY REY. DR. HUEBSCH. The Rev. Dr. Huebsch preached yesterday in the Temple Anawath Chesed, Lexington avenue, taking his text from Proverbs, xv., 7. Tne Doctor said the portion of the Pentateuch which bad just bees read contained the narrative of the exodus of the Israe® ites from Egypt. The vehement struggle be:weea divine justice and buman obstinacy, he contiveva came to an end, and the result was, as tt is aiwaysia such cases—ine vistory belongeth to the Lord; He crusbes tbe oppressor into the aust, raises the op- pressed from the depth of anguish and brings him Jorth to freedem and happioess. Our ola sages apply to the wonderiul ev: that came to pass ia the Jand of Ham the following verse, taken from the book of Proverbs:—“‘When tne Lord receives in favoe am ways, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.’ No nation on earth bas encoun tered so much ill favor and enmity as our people.
