samuel Lnngfelow, nov OF BROOKLYN, L, l.,
recently preached sermon on the opening of
new place of worship by his society. The die

ordinary character Of productions of this Sort
and shows mind that is earnest. independent,
upright and constrained to its work by love of
humanity. lie says to his people: -
| "The pulpit must be quick to feel all injury
done to man, and must state strongly the appli.
cation OF Christian principles to the condenna-
ton and removal of evisting evils. 1t must not
be silent when great wrong like slavery, in
our country is causing untold misery, lowering
the moral lone of the community aud involving
rs nall its meshes. Or when ntemperance,
supported by social customs and mems selfish
cupidlty, is making its terrible havoc brutaIiz-
ing bodies and dcnoralizlng souls; desoaling
homes and crowding prisoners. Or, when, side
by side with the growing wealth of our great
cities, there is growing permanent paupersm
its awful shadow, the home heathenism, shame
Of our Chrsiendon,. Or, when the very system
by which wealth is accumulated il founded upon
an unchristian principle; organizing COMPETE
ton and antagoniSm instead Of co operation and
brotherhood. The politician and economist may
regard these questions solely in their material
bearing the pulpit rust show their religious
and noral, their Christian and human life 1t
must not avoid them through fear of agitation,
or through love Of peace. It must show men
how to treat them with earncstness and fidelity
yet with justice and charity, too"
