GOSPEL LIGHT. The Price Paid by the Saviour for Man’s Redemption. FAITH IN THE MASTER, Man Has the Power to Lift Himself Above Terrestrial’ Things. CHURCH OF THE DISCIPLES. THE JOY OF A TRUST IN GOD--SERMON BY THE REY. GEORGE H. HEPWORTH. My text, said Mr. Hepworth, is the first clause of the sixty-third psalm. It consists of a single excla- mation:—“O God, Thou art my God,” This was said by one who held the Almighty bythe hand. These words can bo looked at from two very different stand- points, In the first place, we may consider them as the utterance of a thoughtful mind whose life occu- pations led him to certain theological conclusions, and which caused him to burst forth with the other exclamation:—‘‘The heavens declare the glory of God, the firmament showeth His handiwork; day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night showeth knowledge.” David also broke forth into these earnest utterances because hehad a vivid faith, and his thoughts and faith moved along har- moniously. In all the trials of his life he looked unte God and was blest thereby despite of adverse circumstances. These exclamations bring into view @ system of thought and reves] to us more dis- tinctly that on which David trusted. It gives us a vision of the only two ways of thinking—one is thinking with our faces toward God, with the cross between sou and Him, and the other is thinking the other way. To-day there is a great conflict between belief and unbelief. There are men who are donbt- ers, who are always on the fence, who hardly know which way to go; men who believe altogether too much, who rely altogether on their own mental power to make up their own minds on things of eternal importance. It seems to me only reasonable thit God should not let such im- portant matters be decided by on imperfect judgment. It would be very dangerous to leave such high themes to be determined on by fanciful thought, for each might reach a different end for himself if there were no standard by which our con- duct could be tested and all had a right to do as they eased. If that were so the whole world would fuil into chaos. But, thank God! we have a resource in the Holy Book which tells us of God's love for man, and we know therefrom that God will be to us righteonsness, justice and truth. Ilook on the man who does not believe in this truth as not being in his normal condition. I think atheism is a disease— &@ thing to be cured. My own opinion is that if a man will judge of a system of thought by its results, eee we actually judge of the value of the seed at we plant in the spring by the blossoms aud fruit we get in October, and will apply the same principle to revealed truth and try it by actual experiment, he will arrive at a conclusion without any sort of doubt that the system of thought that is contained in the Bible is ee ofa ‘arger manhood, of higher hopes, ot larger aspi- rations than any other system that is known to man. You will find in this Bible all that will influence you on intellectual, spiritual or practical grounds. Would it not be possible to change the complexion of this country in twenty-four hours it we went into the churches, pulled down the pulpits and closed them to religious services and then went into the homes of the land and plucked therefrom the idea of God? Yet the same effect is produced if every man and child in America is led to be- lieve that when a man dies he dies as a temple dies when it is pulled down and its ruins mingle with tho dust of the earth, and we say we look upon everything that has been and that ever will be. You may cali this faith of ours in Christ and the Bible, fable, fictions, old ories or what you will, but we say that is the only thing that will save the world. Brethren, I turn to the Cross with great joy. Iturn to it with David's utterance in the 'M, God! My God!" point of view and Mave said it for rears. I say that it brightens my manhood. fe need it in our daily life—in our tinie of trouble, when cares flock round us and thoy are hard to be borne. We many times in the wilderness of Judea with David, and as we go roe that wilderness let us take the harp in our hand and let us, as he did, press our fingers, swoep the jt with a i ot gladness and cry out with bag acclaim, “Help me, O God; Thy will, not wine, be done. MR. HEPWORTH'S SUCCESSOR. At the close of the sermon yesterday morning Rev. Mr. Hepworth alluded to his leaving and the coming ot his successor, the Rev. W. K. Davis, in the follow- ing tender manner:—I notice there are a good many pew owners and pew renters here this morn- ing, and I want to take this opportunity to say a few words to you. Easter will be my last Sunday with you as your pas- tor, and, as I am_ informed by the trustees that our pews are relet on April 1, I want to take this occasion to urge all of you to retain your pews and places in this church and give Mr. Davis, who is to be my successor, every encouragement by your sympaiy and presence. I want to say further that since . Davis has accepted your cail to the pastorate I have had many mectings with him—in- jeed, it could be said I am on terms of in- timacy with him—and I know of no one within our reach that I could more heartily tecommend to you, and urge you to continue coming for, than Mr. Davis. Ido this because some may be tempted to withdraw because of personal feeling for me. Allow me to say you. can in no bet- ter way show your love for me than to remain here. It would nearly break my heart to know that the work here did not succeed. No, brethren, every one stay and give our brother Davis a good, fair, honest chance, and you will .be rendering your best bsg toward me and sustaining the work so dear to us. MASONIC ‘TEMPLE. MORAL INFLUENCE O¥ THE STAGE--SERMON BY MR. O, B, FROTHINGHAM. The moral influence of the stage was discussed by Mr. 0, B, Frothingham in his morning sermon at Masonic Temple. Among other things he said that, in considering the forces of society, the stage is not to be slighted, despised or sot aside as of no account, for it holds a high place in the controlling agencies of humanity. It is among the agitators and the refiners of mankind. It must, therefore, be evident that tho timo has arrived whon the af ge be- tween the stage and the pulpit should » as ite cause no longer exists. No person knowing the needs of society will ever advisedly slow himself to apeak slightingly of so popular an institution as the stage. Religion and the stage have both changed for the better. Religion is no longer what it was two hundred years &go, ‘The world has becomo enlarzed in every sense, as the interests of mankind have in- creased in proportion to*the spread of civilization, and pulpit dogmatism, like many thingg of the past, has become discredited. It is no credit now for a doctor of divinity to tell bis congre- gation that Christendom has united to put its foot upon the stage. Religion now speaks gently; moreover, the character of the stage is altered from what it was. Now there is no longer the shadow of bught remaining in any respectable play house to wound the most tender susceptivilities. Gentlemen ond ladies go there without forgetting that they aro gentlemen and ladies, and no word will be spoken or gesture allowed that might offend the most fastidious, The old obnoxious plays sre not used. Doctors of divinity have been seen in the play houses of New York, a9 well as in those of London and Paris, and the “Little Church Around the Corner,” which is so delightfully, as well as beautifully, associated with players in this city, preaches a strictly Episco- is ih. Actors who go there mingle in societ; like the mombers of other fessions, and they an the Church took each other by the hand out of mutual respect. GOOD AND BAD ARGUMENTS. The time has now come whon argument, not de- nunciation, must be used jonas well as other theories if it would convince. We are all actors or actresses under one form or another, and our part is assigned to us by the manager that is superior to every controlling influence, and it 1s our part to take our Br without complaining, Is it an ar- qumei against the stage for any one to say that it is superior to bat oe 0 because it draws immensely larger nouses? Certainly not. The low- est thi often draw together the poe crowds, becanse they can be comprehon by the vulgar. Yhere must have been more money taken in it week at Gilmore's Garden, where * people went to wit- ness a pedestrian struggle, than at all the theatres in the city during the same timo. This is not atrange when we come to roflect that twelve elapacd before the first edition, comprising 500 co » of Emerson's grand essay on nature was exhausted, and this, too, in the face of the fact that novels cou! be named which have sold at the rate of 10,000 volumes: jn atortnight, Asa further flustration of want of ood taste among the multitude it must be remem. red that for one musician who inter Richard agner’s “Tannhiuser” or “Lohengrin” there are NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, MARCH 24, 1879:-TRIP thousands who Offenbach and Lecooq.

Yetit does not follow that we noble office for the ignoble one of showman, THE SHOWMAN’S MISSION, The mission of the showman is to entertain. not to instruct, and this is a reason why the theatre can- not compete with the pulpit, whose 0! is to edu- cate and instruct. Among the Southern Europeans the theatre was the most popular form of amuse- ment. In the dissolute reign of Lonis X1V. there ‘was @ passion tor theatricals, public and private; and during the time of the great Revolution, when the streets of Paris ran ‘red with blood in the day time, the people would not do without their favorite not flourished "among.

Another reason why the stage cannot be- come ay instructor is that itis illusive, deceptiyé, artificial, not real, We go to a theatro to see not life but certain phases of it carefully picked out and F oonegaod not to pga peconay a pe i the taste. fe go ex en in, played upon; we know that a 8 is all pastel und = we want pasteboard. The French theatro is more real than ours, yet it is not active or social life; the situations are purposely artificial. Even tragedy cannot taken from the streets and put into the scene; there must be no real horror present. The scene pictured to our eyes and minds as not in New York, but in ancient Rome, Verona, Cyprus, Venice, Constantinople, If there is a murder, or anything revolting to be done, it must be hidden as food for the imagination. In the gladiatorial days of old Rome, when the. people saw real blood before them and heard real groans, ly dechned there, for the actor could not imitate nature as nature herself ap) |. The re- markable thing is that the gods above and the demi-gods below are always loudest of applause of the very virtues which they violate every day. The play does not mean the people in Broadway, Wall street or the Five Points, The piece and its applauded sentiments mean Verona, Cyprus or Constantinople. Hence it is that ruffians Gill cry ever s piece of sentiment aa4 then go home to beat their wives. This is because the picture is not realand the distance is immense between the playhouse and the street. ACTORS AND PREACHERS, In the actor there is and must be a divorce be- tween the artist and the man; not that the actor should not, as well as any one, be a noble man ora pure end clegant woman, but that as an ar- list the art must, from the first, be false. As members of society actors must be held to a strict responsibility; but as artists, their duty is to perfect the art’ of deception to the utmost limit of possibility. The actor is to-night a tragedian and to-morrow @ comedian, keeping him- self as much as possible in the background; the more the individual is suppressed the higher will be the art. The painter finishes his picture, and it is no concern of those viewing it whether the artist be a good or a bad man. The rules of art alone should guide them in judging the work. The lives of paint- ers and of sculptors are not always the lives of good men, and a good man may paint a very bad picture. Bnt people want good pictures to hang on their walls, and therefore the art is to be considered without looking to the artist; hence the actor should put character as far as he can in the background. In the pulpit the preacher must be a good man. ‘There is a logical connection between his preaching and his practice. If he bea hypocrite how can he preach sincerity; ifathief, how speak of honesty, und if a jackanapes how discourse about noblencss? The actor does not practice what he preaches, and a folowing of the charactors which he plays must not be expected of him. The stage should represent people as they are; therefore it must not be too tar in advance of them. In society like ours it is necessary that the morals of the theatre should represent those of the community, otherwise it goes down; for if the people do not like the entertainment they will not go to it. The preacher is under no such difficulty; it is expected and demanded of him to assume a position pane than society. He assumes a divine revelation aud law; he calls on people to be better than they are; and if he tails in thus filling his mission he is called a trickster. This much is never asked of the actor. The one profession must be remunerated, the other never was, never can be, never ought to be paid, for, it it were, this would imply payment of money as a reward for devotion to righteousness. There is no more reason for suspicion or jealousy between the Pipi and the stage than between the sculptor and the painter, the poet and the prose writer, or the high universities and the lower schools. There is no nobler office in the world than to nobly, honestly, purely entertain the ple To be amused is to take the bitter drop of gall out of the things of life. Amusement takes away the sting of care and furnishes a medicine for the heart; it cures the miasma of the mind; and the art of amus- ing men innocently is # thing of which the proudest might be proud, The comedian who can win the elevated and the noble to smile deserves the respect and gratitude of his fellow men. To make People sey OF langh, to carry them out of themselves and out of the hard world about them, is a task for the noblest intellect, Those who highest cultivate the art are refined and rare psychologists. ‘They feel that every man and woman se8 aD arome or atmosphere about them which is invisible butalways felt. The aromatic fragrance of character in the pulpit or on the stage ought never to be neglected. Hence the time is comii when the theatre will be one of the finest forces for the educa- tion of mankind. FIFTH AVENUE BAPTIST CHURCH. SATAN; HIS AGENCIES--SERMON BY REV. DR. THOMAS ARMITAGE. Dr. Armitage preached on the subject of ‘Satan; His Agencies.”” You have noticed, said the Doctor, that Satan has been treated of exclusively among malignant apirits because there are not two devils. spoken of in the New Testament, but only one. ‘Wherever the word “devils” ocours in the plural the yord should always be translated “demons” or “evil spirits.” This word “devils” in our English version is responsible for much of the fog around the whole subject of satanic being and operations, Our Lord distinguished between Satan and other evil spirits when he said to the devil, “Get thee behind me Satan,” and when He said to Peter, ‘Simon, Satan has desired you.” What, then, is the difterence between Satan and demons? This difference is defined by im- plication when the foes of our Lord charged that He cast out demons by Beelzebub, the prince of the demons. Here, then, it appears that the difference between Satan and demons is not so much in nature as in rank, demons being the subjects and soldiers, 80 to , of this one malicious chief. As their leader he is called, by pre-eminence, the “wicked one,” the “enemy” and the “prince.” SATAN'S AGENCY ON THE SPIRITS OF THE TEMPTED. You will naturally put the question, In what. way does this agency ‘of Satan act upon the spirits of the tempted? It might be a sufficient answer to this question to say the whole philosophy of sug- gestion, g@od and bad, between spirits ie among the most subtle and mysterious things imaginable. No man, living or dead, has disvovered how one human mind affects another, by pathos, love, hate or ersuasion; much less can any describe the secrecies yy which God or Satan, a: or demon moves the mind of man, In oid Toman times the dis bohiee! yt of Bae was are wo cf) a con in ote, upon = the invisible wings tl sir. Men conveyed a flower to each other, and Jurked in tts perfumed leavee; or a letter was sout, and its fragrant oe carried with them fatal infec- tion, Purple and fine linen conveyed the acent of musk, and destruciton blighted the body that wore them, and the yory atmosphere in which men moved was inden with all that was noisome in pestilence. But so far as we are able to understand, vehicles a thousand times more delicate and intangible are itsed for the flow of inter-s tion between xpirite, both for good and bad ends, Nu man, therefore, can tell how un impure thought, desire or motive in- vades a pure bosom, in an evil hour, dieturbing its tranquility and polluting its holy sanctuary, and rpetrating sacrilege upon its altars by unseen Rands. Neither can he tell me how a polluted tem- Fed is “purified, swept and garnished" by the at- rracting, drawing and purifying influences of a good rit, whether it be that of a weeping child, @ ten- mother, a selt-sact friend—a spirit em- bodied or disembodied, natural or supernatural, human or divine. But Satan employs earthly ministers as well as the unseen. Man tempts man by open effrontery of all goodness to aid abet all sin. Men tempt others with hard tho 8 Re God, with bitter feelings against each of and with impure thoughts. Many uthors are ter ers of a nation, of an age to feelin Inciples and tices. A man will pol- dl hy Inte v ‘hild by brea ing own ai his ostrainte, yy dragytt very slot of depravity, Another pred the ‘ad mo to reduce a confiding, jules victim ruin; he will invoke every fascination of manner, intellect and wit to effect his black purposes. Are not such men fiends, so foul that they make the devil blush? PLYMOUTH CHURCH. LESSONS OF CHRISTIAN VIRTUE—SERMON BY REV. HENRY WARD BEECHER, ‘We can only worship God in spirit and in truth, said Mr. Beecher, by keeping His commandmenta. Love the Lord thy God with thy whole mind and with thy whole strength and thy neighbor as thy- self. How shall we give evidence of loving God? ‘The restraint of our passions is one proof; n- duct of our disposition so as to conform it to divine law is another. Love is the contre and sun of all glorious excellence, and how insut- ficient language is to express ite full meaning! Language is but an imperfect vehicle of our thoughts. Take as an instance the word “indignation,” Although there 18 @ phonetic power in its armored syllables yet the word but feebly represents the idea that the mind conceives of the subject. Love for ourselves? Kindness, justice, truth, affection. In the intricate web of human affairs the question of right and wrong requires a skilled interpreter. We must keep our animal passions under complete control, so they will be obedient servants and not ical, miastors, ‘The lessons of virtue show that all the qualities which Christianity dis- allows are ‘abhorrent to human nature, those which it recommends are congenial to the mind. ae the pownt ft doing ight \d that ou ower st the of an was restored y 4 the faedfation of Christ, the Re. er. This is mere sophistry. I have not lost ‘thi by Adam's fall caunot be held respo! hat he has ne. Why it would be the very metaphysics of a lunatic asylum to visit on me the consequences of Adam's fall. The life of man is reasive, No fully equipped with all the uirements of their life, n alone is helpleas in infancy. But we must not limit the grand bilities of man’s upward and onward course, has the power to do great things, to lift himself above all terrestrial things. ‘The expression, “being born again in the church e mn, * rn again in chureh,” tn eats aickateea |. The normal faculties of the soul of man are the same after’ conversion as before. The newness is in the use of these faculties, Suppose # man whose hands have been used tor the purpose of pilfering and dishonesty shouid suddenly change his course ot lifeand employ those hands in the distribution of alms. The hands are ¢he same, but the use to which they are put constitutes the difference. So itis in being born again in religion. A common Sys seeps in the mouth of every one i: God willing. such @ phrase? Of course, We car not do anything, cannot accomplish any work, un- less God wills it. The expression seems like an insinuation that God's will is fickle. As well tell the flowers that they cannot bloom without the sun as to speak of the necessity of the divine consent to our actions, We must work out our own salvation while God is working within our hearts. Whatever God ——— of us He provides us with the means to accomplish it. Beyond the natural instincts of the soul tor whatever is honest, truthful and sympa- thetic we must seek within ourselves for nobler and higher impulses. And when you make up your mind to seek Christ, the Redeemer, say so boidly, and make nota secret of your religious aspirations. Some men are trying to get into heaven ani don’t want any one to know anything about it. The lowest degree of baseness and meanness is shown: in the case of the man who devotes his life to the service of the world and wishes to palin off the last of his days on religion, It is the act of a pauper begging 10r admittance into the Church which he hus #o long and persistently neglected. There is no happier or more contented life than that of the true Christian. It is cheerful, mirthtul and joyous, because the influence of Christ in the soul is a healthy influence. He calls you to joy, not to penance. Now the wheels of time are more swiftl; flying. Listen to his voice, gird up your loins an have your lamps trimmed. In the middle of the night, behold! the bridegroom cometh. There is no time tolose. Onevery side of us are warnings to notity us of his approach, | Let us not be unprepared when our time comes, but be prepared and vigilant. The Ly of the reverend preacher was from Romans, i. BROOKLYN TABERNACLE, BOUGHT WITH A PRICE—SERMON BY THE REV. 1, DE WITT TALMAGE, D. D. Mr. Talmage preached in the Brooklyn Tabernacle from the text I. Corinthians, vi.,20:—“Ye are bought with a price.” Your friend, said Mr. Talmage, asks you to visit his house and grounds. You see the fine grounds and you immediately ask or: you say within yourself, ‘What did all this cost?’ The owner of ‘a vast estate may not be able immoiiately to tell you what it‘all cost. Now we hear a great deal said about our mansion in heaven. I want to know what it is worth. I want to know what was paid for it. It you have a large sum of money to pay youdo not pay it all at once, but in instalments. I have to tell you this morning that the price paid for your salva- tion was not pai all at once, but in magnificent in- stalments, ‘The first instalment paid for your soul’s clear- ance was the ignominious birth of Christ. The first night away from the palaces of heaven spent in an outhouse! He, who only alittle while before had worn the robes of heavenly dominion, now dressed in a coarse wrapper of linen! One would have sup- posed that Christ would have made gradual descent to our world. But no; if was one leap from top to bottom. Glory be to God that Christ came trom the throne to the manger that we might rise from the manger to the throne and th.t all the gates of heaven were flung open, and that the door of heaven, which swung this way to let Jests out, now swings the other way to let us in, ‘The second instalment paid was the scene in Quarantania, a mountain region full of caverns, It was in that region that Christ went to think and pray and there He was tempted. ‘Then the devil took Christ on the pinnacle of the Temple. Sometimes people at great heights are seized with dizziness and are tempted to Jumpoff, It was at that time that a great temptation came to Christ, “Now,” says Satan to Christ, Nae 4 off, The angels will catch you. Lt won't hurt.” He promised to give Christ all the kingdoms of the earth. He led. He had nota foot of ground in all the world, Ho never has had and never will have. (Laughter.) But see the humilia- tion to which Christ was subjected. Christ has been tempted and Christ will help you bear the storm. O ye ted sons and daughters of men, take courage! The 'd instalment for our soul's clearance was the sham trial of Christ. There never was anything so unfair or indecent enacted in the Tombs Police Court as this trial of Christ. At two o'clock in the morning they hustled Him into the court room, giy- ing Him ho time to employ counsel or subpasna wit- nesses. Christ riends were sober men and were asleep at that hour. The whole trial is @ farce, last- perhaps, for one hour, and then the judge rises to give sentence, Ye who are suffering from the in- justices of men, you have a divine sympathizer. The fourth great instalment was the demise of Christ. ‘The darkest day since the creation of the world wax when the carnage of Calvary was enacted. tocome, Will you come and get the advantage of this salvation? One and all, I invite you to come. CENTRAL METHODIST CHURCH. THE LOST EMPIRES OF THE WORLD-—SERMON BY THE REV. DR. NEWMAN. The Rev. Dr. Nowman commenced, in the evening, aseries of ten discourses in the Central Methodist Episeopsl Church on the “Loxt Empires of the World,” iNustrative of prophecy fulfilled. The first discourse was on “Alexander and his Empire,"’ the prophecy being taken from Daniel xi., 1, 2,3 and 4. ‘The Doctor said:—I des‘gn to show that events in the history of men and nations were foretold with the minuteness and accuracy of historical statement; and as prophecy is history foretold and history is prophecy fulfilled, I might safely rest the divine in- spiration of the Bible on the 11th chapter of Daniel. It is a historical fact that Darius the Mede and Daniel the prophet were contemporaries, and that the former reigned in Babylon and that the latter was a minister of his court. It is also true that between the reign of Cyrus and Alexander the Great there were thirteen kings, but only four are mentioned ingthe second verse, and they directay, because connected with the history of the Jews, PROPHECY FULFILLED. And now, with a single bound, the prophet leaps over 125 years und foretells the coming, the con- nests: death of Alexander, His history te con- densed in two verges, which contain in brief the stance of all that has been said of him by Heroditu Plutarch and ia. Nature had made him tor reatness. Handsome in person, compact .in torm, he war brilliant in intellect, educated In philosophy. by the great Aristotle and in arms by Leonidas, Homer's “liad” was his favorite study, which he dramatized in real life, At the early ogo of six- teen he acted as ae t in the ce of his father, at eighteen he fought the battle of Cnueronss, at twenty he was crowned King, at twenty-two he won the battle of Granicus, at twenty-five he conquered Darius at Arbela, and be- came master of the East, ‘He shall rule with great dominion.” His vast empire included Macedonia, all Greece, Thrace, to the Danube; Asia Minor, Egypt and ‘Arabia Syria, and Palestine, Babylonia, ali and Persia and India beyond the Indus. He ‘was supreme over the lives and fortunes of friend and foe. In his station he fancied himself God, and demanded divine ore he was cruel beyond meas- ure. At Tyre he crucified 2,000 men on tho seashore ; at Iesus he made a’ bridge of the bodies of the slain over which he walked in pride and triumph, He would not allow even Bacchus to outdrink him, and having drank to his twenty guests severally, he then called for the cnp of Hercules, which contained six quarts... This kisled him in the thirty-third year of ie age, 323 B.C, “His kingdom shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven.” The first division was into cight- eon 3 these were consolidated by conquests into great scotions, but at the battle of Ipsus in Phrygia, twonty-two years after Alexander's death, Antigonus was defeated, and then came the division into four parts “toward the four winds of heaven.” In prose t head after his death not one of his famiiy or posterity remained alive. He died a tragical death, His three wives, Statira, Roxine and Barsine, and their sons were murdered. Aridacus, his natural brother, and his wife Euridice, were put to death by Olympias, and finally Cimpise herself was slain by those whose relatives she had destroyed. “His king shall be plucked up and given to others beside those.” One by one the four kin, yielded, and the Romans reigned over Alexander's vast empire, FORSYTH STREET M. E. CHURCH. GROWING OLD—SERMON BY THE REV, W. B. AFTLECK. The ninetieth anniversary of this church was com. memorated by a unton love feast and preaching ser- vices. In the morning Rey. W. B. Affleck, of Eng- land, delivered « sermon on the text, “And Barzillat wid unto the King, How long have I to live that I should go up with the King unto Jerusalem ?'— IL, Samuel xix., 34 He said they had here an thy neighbor as thy thysclf, What do wo desire | old man who hed lived an exemplary life for four score years replying to the invitation of King David to go up with him to Jerusalem and feed with him there. But the old man feels no longer the curiosit; and temper of youth, His thoughts are not of th world, which is fast slipping trom under his feet, and he shows the wise restraint that comes of a well spent lifes ‘Can I hear an; more," he asks, “the voice of singing men an women? Wherefore, then, should thy servant yet be a burien unto my lord the King?’ He knows how hollow would be any siteregt on his part to enjoy the regal entertainment of the King, and he prefers to remain at home, and in this he upholds the dignity ot old age. Some le Jook upon old age as an unfortunate period of life. They seem to consider it a calamity to get old, and do everything to disguise it; but to him ‘(the speaker) there was no gran spectacle than a worthy old age, crownel by 2@ well spent fe, To have health, wealth, competence, troops of friends, to the man in the flush of manhood is agrati- fication, indeed; but it is yet more gratifying to be able, when standing near the end of a long lite's journey, to look back upon a record that one’s con- science can approve, the world nowadays this dread of growing old aud this derision of age is cowardly and unchristian. Old age is beautiful when it is virtuous, In fact, it is the bright end of life, for trial and sorrow are almost over, aud the better world beyond shines nearer and clearer, Solomon es the day of a man’s death in better than the day of his birth, No one ever came into the world und went out of it but had to pass through tribulation, and nobody ever reached heaven that did not have his trials here, When, therefore, the period of old ago arrives, the Christian soul should meet it with joy, for the heav- enly rest is nigher to hand and the weariness of the world is so much the more diminished; but old age without religion is a pitiable contemplation, and re- ligion is seldom acquired when one is old it neglected in more vigorous years, Therefore it is that young people, who cannot avoid being some day old, should so regulate their lives that when they reach the sere and yellow leaf they may be fortified with the consolation that they have been true to God and to themselves, and us thoy drift to the inevitable shore they will meet the doom that awaits all with tranquillity and even joy.

They were essen- tially technical, and had reference to the more im- mediate responsibilities of pastor and penitent. In regard to the ‘indulgence’ essentially belonging to the jubilee he explained that an indulgence merely Meant a remittance of the temporal debt due to sin. ‘As to the payment for indulgences, about which per- ns ignorant or wilfully deceptive wished to argue, he said that that payment consisted of the require- ments as laid down for the performance of the jubilee, and these were mortification of the appetite, sorrow for sin, prayer in the churches and the re- ception of the sacraments of (penance and the eucharist, which plainly deman: at least the be- ginning of a new lite of peace with God. WASHINGTON SQUARE M, E. CHURCH. THE SABBATH—SERMON BY THE REY. Dk. RING, “The Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath." So said the evangelist, St. Mark, and the Rev. Dr, King reiterated his words with empha- sis at the Washington Square Methodist Episcopal Church. He then proceeded to explain his under- standing of them. He considered the Sabbath a necessity to all men. All need something to change the current of their daily life. ‘Thought is the rest of the soul, and the soul noeds time tor thought, and the Sabbath was provided to afford this time. Therefore, the preacher reprobated all tendency to make the Sabbath a day of amuse- ment or a day of idleness. He thought that the day should be one of cheerfulness, and should not ba devoted to pleasure. When any one proves to me, said Dr, King, that Sunday is theonly day on which the worthy and industri ons poor man can commune with God through the aspects of nature or the products of art, then I will consent to believe that He will forgive the misappro- priation of His day. But I will never yield to a mere sentimentalism which assumes the question as proven and meanders about, depriviug the poor ot fresh air and innocent pleasure. Tho speaker then discussed the effect of the observance of the sabbath on the order and welfare of the community. He insisted that this State isin its essence Christian, and is, there- fore, bound to foster the day oi rest, and he further showed that the deoorum, peace and holy spirit that pervade this day have a most powerful result in re- straining erime and vice and promoting the ends of good government, The preacher concluded with an appeal to all to preserve the traditional respect for the Lord's Day.

CONSCIENCE—LECTURE BY PROFESSOR FELIX ADLER. ‘The facta of remorse preclude the opinion that virtue is a mere metamorphosis of pleasure and vico nothing but # mistaken calculation. Why should there be those throes of despair on the part of the guilty soul, this ineradicable sense of respon- sibility? In our sublimest moments, when great resolves lift up the soul, we become aware of the divine nature of virtue. In our hours of deepest abasement we learn amid fear and pain that vice is more then imprudence, Bat if the yerdiet of conscience is to be the rule of life, it is above all important that its utterances should be clear and free, even from tho suspicion of self-contradiction. We speak to-day of one of the greatest of the duties which man owes to himself—the duty of truthfulness. There must be no equivocation in its Jlefinition, “A lie, Kant, ‘ is the casting off and, as it were, the anniht- lation of allthe human dignity.” That words should correspond with facta makes the coherency of existence, When we say what is not we drift into a kind of dreamland, we deal with the etre of things, our life becomes unreal. Thus at the outset it is perceived that truth is a kind of moral self- preservation. This is a distinction to be drawn between imaginative falsehood and wilful falsehood, between faischood which springs from an exuberaut faney and that which has its neg = in a perverted will. Closely okin to imaginative hood is what may be called the falsehood of courtesy, We have no right to employ words which deceive, such as the phrase “Not at Home,” in declining an unwelcome visitor, There is no teason why the honest messa; “Engaged”’ should offend, Every man who is at all of use in the World is expected to haye many and serious occupations, and bas « right to refuse to be broken in upon by nnseasonabic interruptions.
