The congregation thon sang hymn
The Rev. Mr. Floy then delivered the dedcstory SER
mon. He took for his text the 18th of the 33d
chapter of Exodus-I beseech thee show thy glory
He began by referring to the condition Of the Is
raees under the guidance Noses The earth was full
the glory Of God yet man had ,seen God at any
time 1t was matter Of certainty that no created
eye had seen the uncreated face of God We see
his works every hand but he to mortal eyes
visible In the person Of Jesus Christ God and to
him must ascribe the glory due to his In that
brighter and better world the Redeemer made more
manifest. Moses had yet work to accomplsh-he had
the guidance Of his people, still he CRIED show thy
elory and in to his question: the Lord listened
to his prayer and showed his glory to his servant In
Them filing them unutterably full of his glory And
thus onward from that day, when Moses people
gathered together when they cried to God to show
them his glory they were answered by his goodness.
This day the building they in would be apart
for the worship of the Almighty God The abors Of those
who contributed towards the completion the were
very great, but their efforts TO promote the welfare Of
tie poor will be rewarded by the Allsesng Eye.
TIE building cree ed not only for the purpose Of
gathering into its chambers the wicked portion Of that
wicked community where the holy building Stood but
also for the promotion of the glory Of God that the
wicked might be rescued from their degradation. He
then referred to charity which, he said often mis-
applied. Some men made money by giving aims to the
poor It seemed absolutely necessary that some religious
denomination should take the lead in trying promote
the welfare of sinners; but if the establishing Of such in
stitotions the his hearers were in was to
build up sectaTan greatness he would sooner forsake
the establishment Of such e6fces than to do So for he
would frst build churches for the poor, aud after
wards bring sinners into the house OF God, there
TO teach them the ways Of the Lord. One hun
dI'd years ago great efforts we're made by the
Moravians to civilize the Inhabitants of Green
They endeavored to chistianze them for lengthi of
time bot without any effect until OF the missionaries
thought that by explaining to them the meaning Of the
cross, it would tend reveal to them the glory OF God
and accordingly their efforts from that time crowned
with In the Home Mission building the people
should assemble 10 see the glory of God who will his
people are penent, forgive them their SINS and admit
them into the kingdom OF heaven. II q great priv

munity for the worship of God He then urged every
present to help those in their praise worthy
