" On Busday evening the sermon of the Vicar of Christ
Church was to • considerable extent on the subject of the
berms and results of the Treaty of Berlin and the Conven-
tion with Turkey, width have lately been the theme of
general attention. The rev. gentleman took his text from
one of the Lemons (Matt x., 341, 'Think not that / ago
come to send pease on earth; I came not to send peace,
but a sword.' He alluded in the Ant place to • former
discourse premised at the time when it mewed difficult to
conceive how England could avoid the terrible contingen-
cies of war, and when he urged that prayer should berm.
tinselly offered that in the gracious providence of God this
calamity might not happen. They were now enabled to
acknowledge with devout thankfulness how their best
hopes had been fulfilled, and how the treaty lately signed
in Berlin afforded as lair prospects as any other previous
treaty had done of • satisfactory and lasting peace In
attaining this object England had taken the foremost
place, and the wise and firm attitude of our Government
had secured the object with an increase in wreaks and
honour which might well excite our mutual coorratae-
amts. The Convention with Turkey by which England
acquired Cyprus, and attained • preponderating infs.snos
in the Turkish dominions, Ur. Isaacs regarded aa of the
highest imocctsnce. nom best acquainted with the Zest
would hardly fall to acknowledge lb. value to England of
this possession, end of the healthy influence which, by
means of it would be exercised In all those regions. To
Lord Beaconsfield wet given the honour, as well as the
responsibilty, of al that had been done. If we could
oureelvee that such a cabinet as hie would allow
rtereilr tr be lei blindfold, it would increase our wonder at
what he had been enabled to effect His case reminded
one of Mciedecal, the kw, who, although belonging to the
royal rice, wee prescribed and treated with disdain. But
he continued to pace the Courts of the King of Persia,, up-
held by that decision of character and tenacity of purposes
which showed his noble origin, and extraordinary was
the transition when the first of Persia's Princes led his
steed by the bridle and proclaimed aloud, "Thus shall it
be done unto the man whom the King delighteth to
honour." The contrast between Lord Baeconsfield's
struggles Wind every kind of prejudice and opposition,
and the wondrous reception which he reeetvad a
kw days ago in London, afford a kind of
parallel to what took piece with his forefather
Mordecai. the Jew. Bat he and others were only instru-
ments of whom God made use. The text had its applica-
tion to the personal, domestic, and other divisions which
would be inseparablefrom the Close:lrk of which the
Savour spoke mor• fully in the . But it had its
application to those wars and tumults which have been
manacled with the promulgation of the °anal in time
pest, and which are to be among the terrible events of the
kit day. The preacher referred to him former sermon, in
which he pointed to those prophecies which showed what
sionflicts would arias at the and of this dispensation among
at. nation% and bow Ragland was likely to be made the
great instrument of protecting interests of truth and
taragainst the advanced and ambition of Rusk.
prospects and contingencies would be unavoidable;
but England, on the side of Israel, and Israel's God,
would in such • case fulfil a destiny truly glorious and to
be desired. The recent proceedings of our Government
panted in that direction, and intensified our
Interest in the fulfilment of the prophetic Word.
=tytbe preacher's practical allusions was the
of watchfulness and prim. •• When these
