| SOME SUNDAY ~ SERMONS. A Missionary From Cairo Talks About the Mohammetans. THE ROMAN CATHOLIC BELIEF. An Interesting Discourse By Rev. B Harsha—'*The Bible as a Stuinb- ling Block” the Subject of Rev. Lamar's Scrmoan. The Mohammetans, The Rev. Dr. Andrew Watson, professor of the theolozical seminary at Cairo, Egypt, delivered a very nteresting sermon or ad dress upon “The Mohammetans’ av the Cen tral United Presbyterian church yesterday morning. Dr. Watson has been for twenty- eight years engaged in the missionary work in Eeypt and has a vast fund of information concerning the millions of followers of the folse prophet, Egypt, said Dr. W i the most intercsting country in the world, with the exception of Palestine, to the tour- Jst, the historian and the student of the bibl Tts history is contemporancous with th tory of the world. ypt was tion, advanced in learning, art, architecture and politica thousands of years before the western uations were born, and while many of the eastern nations were composed of savage tribes. She was the seat of learning and the mine of mystery down to the time of the P'tolem But all of this greatness has disappearcd, Egypt is no lonwer an inde- pendent nation and her people are but little better thau slaves, The prese atives of Egypt, Dr, Watson says, are plainiy of Asi rigin, but have becomé so badly mixed up with Turks, Arabs and negroes as to have lost almost all raco characteristics, The average Egyptian is of a pale brown color, has receding fors head, wide mouth, thick lips, and heavy, straight eycbrows. He is genceally docile, almost to lnziness, All stimulus to activity has been removed by 2,000 years of oppres- sion and servitude. The most promineat characteristic of the Eryptian, Dr. Andrews thinks, is their re- Jigious sentiments, They are all belicvers. Infidelity and skepticism were unknown in Egypt until introduced by tho Turks and English. The common people are ignorant. Ounly about one-twenticth of them can read and write. The are no means jor the diffusion of koowledge except by the efforts of the mission schools such as the one with which Dr. Watson 18 connected and which is supported chiefly by Mr. MeCague of this eity. ‘There ave eight high schools supported by the government in the cities of Egypt, but the general masses derive no benefit from thew. ‘Tne common schools are lic « tious to the lowest degree, They are deceprive and hypocritical in the extreme, Egypt was a christian nation until the reign of Constantine, when the simple ruies of christian worship were given over for showy forms, and the worship of Jesus was finally lost altogether. T in the seventh century came Mohammed, the false prophet, and millions fled to his standurd. The Mo- hammedans ave not heathens. They belicve in (God, but their conception of him is very differcut from the chris ide God: Whey dény that God hus any justice, Whatever he does is rizht, and 1f Lo sends a chwl!u they must not flee from it.

He does not pray in secret, but oficrs his suppl public and boasts of them, He gives alns, not with the christian idea of helping his suf- fering fellow man, but with the idea of se- ouring Goa’s mercy in his behalf, The home life of the modern Egyptian, as pictured by Dr, Watson, is anything but edi- Tying, The women are treated as slaves and are used only for the pleasuro of their hus- bands, and can be divorced, abused or even Xilled' at will. A parent looks upon a daughter as a calamity and sells her to the highest bidd Dr. Watson closed by telling of the good work that being done by the mwission schools in Egypt, and urgicg vhe support of these institutions, THE ROMAN CATHOLIC BELILF. Changes Which Have Occurred in the Last Century, Rev, Mr. Harsha yesterday preached the following sermon, the text being taken from Acts xvii,, 19: “May we kunow what this mew doctrine 181" Out of the twenty-six noblemen who sub- scribed to the Mazna Charta twenty-three could not write their names and were hence under neeessity to make their signs, This may be mentioned as a sample fact 10 show the ignorance resulting from the middle ages. A pull of darkness rested even upon the minds of the upper classes which is hard for us to comprebiend, surrounded as we are by the light and education of the nineteen century. I shull not pause to inquire who was to blame for the bad state of affmirs of five centuries ngo. Protestants say the Catholics were chargeable with’the blind- ness of the people; and Catholics claim that tney only accepted a state of affairs that de- scended to them from the bad economic ) tem of preceding ages, and if it had not been for them the truth would have been utterly lost in the whirl of the awful night. The monastery, they claim, wus the ark to beur the word of life and the implements of cavili- zation over the treacherous waters of me- dieval society, We may stand aside and let the two pariies fight it out. We are con- cerned with another inauiry. There is either an immense amourt of pre- udice on the purt of Protestants or else there need of instact and decided action aguinst the Roman Catholics, 1f what Rev. Mr. Mer- il implied in bis ‘I hanksgiving sermon be literally to be feared that the present. growth of the Roman church mecans n a short time a new persecution and war of ro- ligions, why then we Protestants need to in- stitute an instant slauglter of the innocents, “Lheir familics are usuully larger than ours, they do not materially suffer from apostacy, aud the outlook s dark indeed if wo are sl to be butehered or burned when they como to have u majority in the land, There are 10,000,000 of them now and everbody admits, themselves ncluded, that they have no less 8 purpose in view than to capture this whole nd for the pope. ‘Ahey certainly have the best managed church on” earth, as the school bouses and vunnerics and coavents on every hilltop suficiently prove, If they have onesixth of our popula- tion and wost of the finest building sites av resent they will have one half our popula- n and more building sites in a century or two, and then will comé the gloomily-antici- ted slaughter of tender Protestauts.

Ona certain day, & year or two ago, a Freuch packet from New York o Havre Bad on board what never was carried by any ship before—two American cardinals, * Ouo of them was the Canadian, Tasch: ereay, and the other was the United States cardinal, Gibbons.

They believe in what is known as the Augustinian system of theology, of which Calvinisin is only another nam To this they have added many strang cts, all growing logically out of their first and suprome mistake that Poter was the “‘rock” on which Christ built his church. From Peter follow necessarily all the other *P's,” viz: Pope, priests, penatce and purgatc Some would put in also p ns, b ain not so sure of that being cal and in herent portion of their system. said by us Protestants about pe the vetter, To this theological system have been added certain corollaries by the successive councils of the Roman church. They are: Baptisma regeneration, prayers for the dead, pray to Mary and the saints, papal infalibility the doctrine that Rome is the only truo church, out of which there is no salvation, ‘Ihese corollaries result fiom the mistakes already indicated. and thoy are ofensive, of course, to every Protestant heart. I do not yield 1o any man in my adherence to the Simplo teachings of the Now Testament, and my opposition to any form of belief that is contrary thercto. Hence [ cannot give as- sent to these mistakes and corollaries of the Romish doctrine, though L am perfectly will- iny to grant that they grow logically out of their first grand assumption that Peter was the foundation of the church; and I want to conduct my opposition to those errors in all Que courtesy. In addition to these mi ies of the Augustinian theology held by the Romish church, there are certain positions which I may call resultants from their faith. Ior example, they believe that the end justi- fles the means and in olden times used to act upon this maxim in both temporal and spi 1tual things. They belicved in the usefulness of intrigue, and the Jesuits have nequired quite a reputation from their skill in this line. They believed in the temporal power and rulership of the pope and wne cardnals, who were princes of the several countries where they resided. They believed in the union between the church and the state, where it could be effected to advantage to the former, and it was their custom to aictato to princes and kings in all matters where their voice would b hen They were accus- tomed to deny the bible to common people on the ground that they (the people) could not understand it without the help of the church. And then they had a way of per: ecuting those who did not believe as tl did, although this pleasing costum was quite as populor amomg Protestants as with them, Now, the point I make is this: The Roman Catholic church believes on all items of its theclogy, just as it has from the days of the council of Trent, and in all probability will hold to them until the millenium; she will teach what [ huve ventured to call' them. us 1 look at them, mistakes and corollarics until @ wiser spirit moves upon the face of their religious It but they are drifting more and more away from the things Lhave called resultants, and the time is not far distant when these will no longer be known among men. - Who defends the doctrive of the end justify the means in thi ry?t What has bec nporal power of tho popct What n Catliolic holds to on of churen and state in this land, or it?

Rev. Mr. Lamur preached the following sermon yesterday from Isaish, Ivin, 14: “Take ye up the stumbling blocks out of the way of my people.” It is quite unusual for a minister to preach more than one sermon from the sume text. Particularly is 1t very upusual for him to preach three or more sermons in succession from the same text, I have known instances, however, where the minister has preached from one text cvery day for a week, Moody tells us of a young evangelist who came to Chicago to help him in some meetings, who preached about two weeks from John iii, 16: ‘For God 80 loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life ' Itis said that those sermons resulted in numbers of conversions every night. One is quite prepared to believe this when he under- stunds the rich und inexhaustible nature of God’s love. The fact that one wman can preach from on text fifteen nights continu- ously strikingly illustrates the fact that the bible is liko the lviog fountain of water, Everytime you go to it you can get your pail full, ~ If ten thousaud go to the sume foun- tain each can got 'his pail full. How muny millivn bave come to the fountain of truth in John iii:16, and gotten their souls full, 1 have feit it vecessary o preaching these sermons to do what farmers in the timber country call “new ground clearivg’ in order 1 the making of a crop. Thuse stumbling blocks must be gotten out of the way of the people before the seed of the gospel can be planted io their heurts und_lives so as to produce a crop of goodness, I am quite aware that the best endeavors to help any of you are unavailing except as the Holy Spirit gives the seoing oye and the understandiog heart. May He grant you the vision of faith and the understanding of love. 1ob- serve: First, That the bible is often a stumbling block. Here again we are re- minded of the truth that whether a thing is a blessing or a curse, 8 help or & hindrance, depends upon the use we make of it, or the attitude which we stand 10 towards it, This 18 why Jesus always insisted upon humility and teachableness of heart as u condition to receiving any revelation, or the usingof truth with profit. When we are captious and disobedient, and full of @ sense of our wis- dom, God can not make us any revelation, nor can He make us understand the one He bas given, The reason wuy the bible is a stumbling block to some souls is because they go 10118 investigation as if they thought God had invited them to make a bible, Hence whatever there isin its teachings which is in conflict with their narrow in- torpretation or limitod version, they are in o state of mind to reject it and stumble over it to their ruin. Iam sure I am not speaking atrandom when I assert that there are people about us wko, though they have never given o single week of earnest, loving, prayerful study to the bible, are yet quite full of “opinious” concerning what they deem the defects of tha bible, And they know more about it than any of the wmost learned win- isters in this city, It scems hopeless to try 10 do such people any good. They have placed themselves beyond the pale of instructions by their unteachableness. 1s it not sad that @ love letter rom God such as the bible is would be peryerted into a weapon of destruc- tion. Jesus foresaw that this would be so when Ho said, *“The stono which the build- ers rejected, the same is become the head of the corner,”’ This is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyea; thereforo, & say unto you, *Whosoover #hall fall on this stone shall be broken, but on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind bim to powder.” The same sun that brings the flower to its unfolding ana clothes it with tints of beauty can also blast 1t %0 that 1t_cannot come to fruitage, The same rain that descends in froitful showers upon the prepared soil also Doats the unprevared soil 1o such hardnoss that nothing will germinats and grow thereon, It is thereforo of the utmost importance what is the attitude in which we stand to God's truth.Upon this depepds whether it is his love lotter or his thunderbolt are not u fow things in the bible ove people stumble. I eanuot discuss th T trust I may let light in on some of them for 801 of you Lot us ne Thav 18 & ca ) the ethinology of tho 1se of stumbling to many, There wtly fnterested in the they think they find a 1 the etinology of the nce, By ethnology W se of scripture teaching which relates to the division of the human family into races—tho origin and relations and dif= fore vhich churacterize them. It 1s said what scientific ethnology hus proven conclu sively thut the bible ethuology is wrong, b causo tho biblo is supposed to make all the s of men descondunts of one puir. 1t is said in Genesis that “God created man in his own image; male and femalg cre- ated hethem.” ‘And in Acts Paul says “He hath made of one blood all n tions of men to dwell on all the face of the oarth.” Now, say the objectors, It is held that your bible teaches the one pair theory as ounting for the existence of all the races. 'Llie physiological facts show that in structure, mental composition and moral tendencies they are utterly distinet, The ook, therefore, which professes to bo from God, 'should huye Laken into ount theso diffcrences in prescuting its theory of crea- tion," Well, to begin with, let me say that the bible does not declare that only one pair was created, The passage from Acts does not teach the ono pair theory. The word blood isnot in the original. It simply says, “‘ho hath wade of one—that s, himself—all na- tions of men.” And the book of 'nesis contains intimations of other peoples beside the Adamié famly; such, for ws: the peopie from whom Ciin 'got his wife, aud “the sous of giants,” These intimations are $0 strong that should it become necessary to belicve this supposed scientific theory of more than one bair I could still believe the Dible and believe that theory. But scientific cthnology hus not yet said you must believe in the creation of more than one pair. While iv_does show that there are some striking diferences, 1t aiso shows that there are so many correspondeacies as to make tne com- monly received theory of the races the bes we know of. I think you will agreo that morally and struczurally the Mongolian. Negro” and Cau an are so much alike that we can believe, in the abseuco of evi- dence tothe contrary, that God could and did divergo these three races from oue pair for vueposas of his own glory. Therefore, let Genesis stand, and let Paul ching stand, and let the scientitic facts stanas they all throw light on one another. If it should come to pass that the real truth is differ- ent from that which we now receive, it will be found that the biole 1s on the side of the truth. For God’s truth in revelation and God's truth in creation are ono and the same. They cannot be in con- flict, We m; have to alter our tion of the bible, but we shall neve: alteran iota of the bible itself, Again, the geological teachings bibie are stumbling blocks. It is bible teaches that God created the ana the earth in six days, whors logy makes 1t plain that the world was gos upon ages in berng f g0 through the crust of t rth wo that geology unfolds w great ey periods 1n tiie pro ou. Down at the bottom wo have the Azoic age—that is, the Silurian sod the ago of mollusks. Next we have the Paleozsic age—that is, the age of fisties and carbouiferous deposits, such as mouatain limestone and millstone grit, coul and sandstone. Then the Mesozoic age and the mtroduction of reptiles, e uppe Jlower challgbeds and the green stones, and the Oolites, and the sandstone with foot- prints in it. Then the Cenozoic age i the period of mammals, the common and alluvial soils and fossil deposit: Jater, tho age of man. Bach of thes p thus distinctly marked by science, must have coasumed ages,. perhaps millions of ages—periods inconceivably long.'” So this stumbling block seems tao huge to be rolled out of the way; but God’s word is equal to the emergency. ' I turn back w Gen- esis to seo what it does say. Ilook over its original tongue and miue eyes are opened. The openng words of that wonderful book stand out uwique and unapproachable for their grandeur and glory. Let us note: In the beginning iGod created tne heavens and the earth.” As another says, **'homas opened the book of God with tho announcement of a truth which no pro- cess of hnman reasoning could have reached, und with a declaration of a t which no philosophy could bave unveiled. —Nothing can exceed tho grandeur of the thought; nothing surpass the appropriateness of the words,’ Looking back wcross the wide waste of all the ages past this sentence of divine sublimit, 1ke u majestic archway, stands at the closing bounds of eternity past —beyona it silence, darkness and ancient night; and out of it issues the periods and scenes and events of tume,” “In the beginning.” Wheo was thatl How far back in the past is not stated; sod neither does the record aff)rd any clue by Wwhich it can be ascertained, That there was, however, a beginning, science owns, She lays her haod upon thav ghttering truth, and as with the other she turns over the leaves of geology and calls attention to the correspondence of the two revalations—they aroone. ‘This creative act, recorded in the fivst of Gienesis, was quite distinet from, and long anterior 1o the acts included in thé six day's work. 'I'ie aetailed account of crea- tion's order is graphically ziven. First, The act of bringing matter into being. Its condition was empty aud waste. Scecond.

Aod that is the order of creation that geology unfolds as we turn the pages of her book. D Now us to the six days over which you have been caviling, both theology and science have long since agreed that the word day, as used here in the account of the creation, re- fers to a greater or less period of ume. They agree that 1t was customary for tho writers of those times to speak of a day as of a period with no definite limit. I can cite many passages to prove that Lhe word day is used, first, for a past and tuture time with- out limit, Second, for a future prophetic period without length, Third, for an epoch or period of time in history. Fourth, for a ason in the year. Fifth, for a period in . in remembering these truths you will no more stumble over those six days, They wero periods of vime long enough for God to calmly take bis time Lo fashion this world and it it for the abode of man, As 1o man being the crowning act of the sixth day a question or two arises, Was he made instantly, or was he evolved graduallty from the lower oraer of animalst We are not told. Itis simply said (Genesis, ii, 7) that “Jehovah-God formed the man out of thi dust of the ground, and thathe breathed into him the breath of life and man became a liv- ing soul” We are not widas to God's method; whether he made him nstantly or whether by process of evolution from the lower forws, And it matters Littlo that the scriptures ara silent. 4f you want to believe the evolation theory as to wan's creatiou, believe it, 8o long as in rey- erence and love you bolieve in God as his Muker, and that God breathed into him a living soul, which distinguishes him from all the other creatures of His band, Or if you prefer to be lieve that God maae him in a moment, and urned him out of his hand by & miraculous aot, completed und in bis Tull glory, why be- lieve it.

LOTHING CO., Cor. Douglas & 14th Sts. All or- A CARD FioM MAX MEYER & BRO, The auction sale which is now in progress at our store has caused so many inquiries tl at we take this method to answer the inquiries and inform the public at the same time. The object of the saleis not, as some have asserted, to get rid of our old stock for the best of reasons, we have none. Noris it a holiday scheme to get the trade—but it is as advertised, to close the retail depart- ment of our jewelry business which we have been desirous of doing for maay months, and having failed fo find a cu tomer to purchase the stock entire, and to put the stock in- to our wholesale department not being feasible, we have determined upon an auction sale of our entire stock of d monds, fancy goods, art goods, and all, Without limit or reserve of one single article. We invite all to-attend these sales, which will be held daily for the next thirty days (if not disposed of before) and see if this statement is not a fact. MAX MEYER & BRO.
