In the forenoon the President attended divine worship
In st. Bartholomews Church, corner of Great Jones
street and Lafayette Place, in company with Mayor

day and appeared to have derived considerable benefit
and refreshment from good nights rest The stten-
dance at the church larger than usual
qusnce believe, of his intention worship there
not being generally known. He walked In, leaning
the arm Of Mr. Brady and took seat In pew the
centre of the church. Very few Of the congregation
aware that President of the United States took
part with them in the exercises and mingled his voice
with theirs In suppcation.
The sermon preached by the Rev Dr. Bach, rec
tor of the church.
The Rev gentleman selected the twenty third of
the sixth chapter ofst Pauls Epists the Romans
his text. which Is In these words
For the wages Of sin is death but the gift God is
eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord
ed in the text the author Of sin Satan intended and
that In the Of his discourse he would substitute
for the other-and instead Of speaking of sin, he
would speak of Satan the author Of SIN Paul in using
the language Of the text had doubt before him the
tinual contest between Satan and the Kingdom Of
heaven carried on by the followers of EACH and in which
the soldiers Of sin earn death and the soldiers Of the
jections which must occur to the minds Of How
earn the wages Of sim when, by gratifying
selves do not intend to enlist under the banners Of
Satan. The reply is simple but conclusive. If found
in Satans ranksit il matter of conseq wheth-

his The sinner must receive his wages
ISOLATION can q of the world have-what consoling
reflections be have who has lived life Of disrespect
TO the religion and the word Of God He will say to
him who walks In the path Of truth and Righteousness
did you not tell that religion was made up Of signs
and tears &c. He then reviewed the many excuses
which men Of the world make for not acting as they
should and said that every man who defers his
and his duty to God what he received
his wages Satan lives in the agony of his victims.
But suppose there remnant of in the Prince
of Darkness-what then? Would God allow any portion
of his attributes to be exercised by the Dev He then
spoke Of the pleasure Of SIM which Is often used
argument by men Of the world, and contrasted the
pretender pety, with the permanent pleasures of
all who enlist der the banner Of the Cross He then
advertcd to the second part Of the textThe gift Of
God Is eternal salvation through Jesus Christ He drew
q distinction between the gift In and wages in
the otherand said that 1t through Jesus Christ
alone, who offered himself sacrifice for that eter
nal life be received. Earn it never
Said he, let reason II could eternal life
Should there not be servce But what service could
do to entitle to participate in the glories Of
eternal hereafter But we are to make some recon-
pense and the manner in which we are to do it Is
plain and distinct, and be accomplished by tri-
umph Of moral nature Can purchase eternal
life! By what! We have got nothing that God him
self did not bestow. Eternal life Is given to all who
will receive it. If you consecrate yourselves to God,
and asked why you do you answer you do 1t
because you love himbecause he gave his life for you,
and that the wages Of sin Is death
