The Rev. Mr. Hubbard, of North Carolina, Chap
lain IN the United States Navy; preached in this
10th chapter of ST. John SD verse -" These things
have spoken unto you, that in me We might have
peace. In the world We shall have tribulaton; but
be OF good cheer; | have overcome the world"
These are the words of comfort and consolation,
which our blessed Saviour delivered to those
apostles who accompanied him in his painful pill
grlmage, when they were about to be deprived OF
they should suffer affection, resist temptation, and
contend with the evils OF the world alone. In this
parting hour, the words, be OF good cheer" must
have sounded trembingly In their ears. AS. Jesus
didno pray for them Alone but tor us and all man
kind, SO have we the same blessed assurance TO be
of good cheer. The world is just the same

false its spirit the same as Ia those days when the

fewer enemies. When the oppression OF the world
lies heavy upon US; when we are overcome with
afflictiOn; when are borne down by disease; and
when are tempted to doubt what the issue of all
this shall be, let bear in mind this glorious assu-
rance, and set 1t down that the world shall be over
come and the gates OF He'll shall not prevail against
us; and this, my brethren, Is assured to us. This is
what our Saviour says to every person who will
serve him, to every soldier fighting under the BAN
ner of the cross-"Be OF good cheer" He over
came the world, for he showed himself lnsenslble
to all its promises and temptations; in the midst of
| proud generation, he pronounced his benediction
on the poor and smitten and sought companionshlp
with those who thirsted after righteousness, and
gave himself to the love OF virtue and the practice
! of deep philanthropy; he sought the support OF

Services at DIR. Potts. Church.
The services at this church. yesterday,
were not numerousy attended as might
| have been supposed, but we presume that
the excessively rainy weather prevented a
goodly number from attending, who otherwise
would have come. The appearance OF this church,
with the subdued ''artists light which the coored
| windows throw over the building, Is beautiful IN
deed. We remarked that some Of the ,pews were
labelled "not sold, that there is still chance
tor those who inclined to invest capital IN reil-
glous stock.
Previous to the sermon, DIR. Potts announced
that those of the congregation who wished the
church to be regularly organized, would find petit
ton addressed to the Presbyters to that effect, and
which would be ready for signature on Tuesday

Anglo-Amerrcan Church.
The attendance here yesterday was rather small,
owing to the mcemency of the weather. After the
usual preparatory ceremonies, the Rev. MIR. Mar
Gus took the following text, from Matthew xii
llth and 18th verses :-"And when the king came
IN to see the guests, he saw there a man who had
not on the wedding garment and he saith unto
him, friend how earnest thou in hiiher not having
ona wedding garment and he was speeches."

friends OF the prince were first invited, but when
they would not come, the highways and hedges
were searched TO find guests. Under thus alegory,
our blessed Saviour intended to teach the Jews,
how they had rejected Christianity, which had bid
