But because it 15 one of the truths of the bible 1 must not shrink from its contemplation. And first liell is a certainty, Basing our conclusions on revelation we find that in hundreds of places dizect and definite reference is made to hell in the bible. “The wicked shall b turned info hell and_all the people that for- get God.” Jiven our blessed Saviour, trom whoge lips 101150 often words of love and ehiarity, spoke unreserved and_onequivoeally regarding cternal penalty or fshment it ot bo ¢ exactly a fundamental of the Christian faith, But more than this muy be waid of it, that a larger part of the Chiristian creed would not exist ad it not been for the existence of a liell—a power of evil. The existence of a law presupposed the need of a law. Tie facts of the incarna- tion and the atonement are a statement of thoe awtul price paid for something—paid in the conquest of Satan, the subverting of tho power of liell, Secondly, Nell is inevitable, There must bo u hell. /e fact of heaven has its coroll- ary in hell.

Willard Scott preached yesterday morning from Matt. 3:11, in the St Mary’s Avenue Congregational ehurch, | “Tndeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire.” There is, then, another and a better baptisn: than that with water, whether it be by sprinkling, pouring or immers- i aptism “‘with the Holy Ghost and with fire,” the baptism, especially of Josus, and, for my part, L donot so much care how the water has touched me, or wdeed whether as o last resort it has touched me at all, provided this better baptism has come upon me, {n saying this, T do not make a flaunt at our usual christian ordinance, It is a beautiful suggestive and obligatory sacra- ment which no one has n right to deny or to omit, whoaceepts the atonement of Jesus as his hope and the commands of Josus a8 his rule of lhfe. We of the ministry are bidden preach and bapti You of the audience are bidden repent and be baptized. Neither of us has any alternative in the muttor, The ordinance is not adyisor, prudentinl or local. It is mandatory directory and universal, Christ did not leave on the carth a church matter of option, but of authority, and every one who has a hope of salvation through Jesus is under command to acknowledge him by water, nor can_any such ono Tiope for the divine blossing until he | obeyed. When 1 say, then, that it is a_matter of less moment to me whether 1 have re- ceived the baptism with water than that with the Holy Ghost. 1 speak only of degrees. Une may better be bereft of the former than of the latter, yet, a peoplo run, the former is the ‘ofie em phasized. We have witnessed 8 combat OVOr 1L ever sinee we wer le to dis- tinguish between religions ideas, It has divided our minds, our homes, and our conununities, It been exalled to a vade mecun in_ veligious faith, [t has shut up the Lord's suoper to some and from some, and, in some instances, has striven [ do the same | oven with heaven Brethren, 1 | belicve this to ong, 1 wo ought to stop it. There is not question in the whole subject whicl should occupy the position with us of an articlo of faith. Yet they are annoying and dividing us.

Let us then so act in frator fol- Jowship und work together with connon love and mutual support for the water is not saving. It but sigufies & sulutation, and that partakers of a common salvation are brethren But, beyond this, inferior baptism, which so exerei us, is another paptism “with the Holy Glost aud fire"—the baptism of Jesus—and if, ¢ eerning the former we are too zealous oertainly concerning this latter we ar 100 indifferent. Yot, it is the baptism Phat with water is of John and of the i Josus made almost no use ot re 15 but one verse in the new testament which even suggeststhat he ever employed it.

Thoy too goc over roli 1 | to watch people, one would suppose that | the first great commandment was *‘to do | business' and that the second was li unto it, as tiough the whole of life was wrapped up in one word—business. In a recent number of “Harper’s Young | People™ there is given an illustration of modern methods of trading which is too | daft to be_omitted. An old negro of a southern family has brought to the top “of the old east hill” a great, roomy sled, his own make, as a present to his mas: | ter's son, Poct, who complains that ‘it isn’t_built for speed-—not entirely—at which old Reuben makes his rejoinder “Dis yere sled_yent no time-serber. Yo see? “Marse Poet, der yent no specinl renson 1o’ gettin' to de bottom ob dat hill, I reckons de bottom ob dat ole East_hili will s’ till dis sled get dar every time; dat bottom yent gwine to fall out. Dat a reg'lar Yankee trick to go jim min down dat hill, Knocking ober cberyt’ing on de road and gittn’ dar befo’ eberybody eise. Dis sied wasn't made on dat idee.”™ Yeu thatis just the nkee method in vogue of doimg busi- ness, and where aoman triesto be o chris- tinn and a man of business at once the former duty is often left ill eaved for. It needs to be said again and again that to business is not the first_ and great com- mandment, but that itisto “Love the Lord thy God.”" and the proof that such a love is in the heart is found in the pres- ence in us of the Holy Ghost, who s the divine witness in his people. To lack that presence is to lnce the evidence oe regencration and all the waters of thy Atlontic heaped 1 baptism upon ans ndidate is' less a testimony ol one'f right relation to God than the’ sense of this Divine indwelling. May God help us 1o seek and obtain that baptism! DANGER AND USE OF RICHES, The Rev, C. W. Suvidge's Sermon at the Seward Street M. E. Church, At the Seward Street M. E. ehnreh yes- y morning, the pastor, Rev. C. W, ige preached an able sermon on the jeet of *“Ihe Danger and Use of tiches.” The following is an outline of the sermon from the text from Timothy, “But they that will be rich fall into a temptation and a snare, but thou oh mun of God flee these things and follow after righteousness, goodness, faith, love, vatience, meckness:” First wo see God's estimate of money in this text. God does not place money among the most precious things, He »suys ‘“wisdom is botter than gold” in the Proverbs, He says, “A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches,” Proy, 22-1, He says *Tho trial i e proc. ious than gold," in 1st Peter 1-7. And he gives us the reasons for saying what he docs. He says, “Riches are not. abiding,” (Prov. 23-5.) for riches certainly muake themselves wings, they fly away as an eagle toward hewyen Tre "t ryboat over the Jordan of death never carried anything heavier than an immortal soul. Another of his reasons is that viches don’t sutisty. ““He that loveth silver shull not De safistied with " The best men wud woren have agreed with God on this, G Hurbert says, *'Gold thon may- est safely touch, but if it unto Ly band it woundeth to the guick."

Rev. A Jacobs Scrmon at the Bap- tist Church Last Night, The First Baptist church, at the corner of Fifteenth and Davenport streets, was well filled last night to hear the Rev. A, Jacobs, the BEuropean evangelist, who, after the reading of the lesson from the nineticth psalm by the Rev.

Wade was scolling away as usual because the war did not progress more rapidly, and the administration swas not —more radical. He said he would do various things if _ he had the power, and at last Mr. Lincoln, somo- | what annoyed, turned upon him and said: “Mr. Wade, do you know the difsy ence between doing A thing and advising | another to do it? You are senator from Onio and I am president of the United States, your people are very radieal and youare their representative. It I were a Senator from Ilinois and you were prosi- dent, our positions would” be exactly versed, and I doubt not that 1 should be here as a senator urging vou to do many things which you, as president, eonld not and would not do. = Come, now, Mr Wade, am I not right in this?” “I'll be d—— if you aint,” smd Mr, Wade, ‘‘und if Tever im president, I hope 1will have the good sense to do pretty much as you do.”” This v the whole thing in a nut shell.

I said, “Mr. Goodloe will do anything to oblige nd serve yon” “Very well,” he replied, “if lightning <hould strike me in this im- peachment business [ will need him, and you miy say so tohim privately?” 1 consider the expression of Mr. Wade as an indication that in case Andrew John on should have been impeached and Wade succceded him as president, he would have invited Judge Goodloe to accept a seat in the cabinet which he would have been ealled upon to form. Mr. Wade often said, Mr. the right man in the wur should be kept there, There is no doubt that if Mr, W had been made pry dent at any time duoring Mr., Stanton's life he would have been ealled on to aet s seeretary of war, as long as Mr, Wade was president, Wade had a high opinion of Mr. B, Ward, of Detroit, and believed him to Possess great financial abilities.
