SERMON BY THE REV. T.. II. CHAPLIN.
The Reverend DIR. Cu,Pis last ovenieg delivered
dhcourse Ooeasionod by the loss Of the steamship
etc, at the Church Of the Divine Unity, Broad
way, in tho presence of a very large congregation.
The tolt selected for the occasion was from tue
Book Of Job-3sth chapter, second verse" Hitherto
shalt thou come, but farther: and here shall thy
"proud waves be stayed
Mr. CnAPIY, in commencing, said The most OK
preserve sign Of great is doep silence For
The calamity that really smtes upon tho individual or
the public boart strikes below the surface of emotion
and smothoIs words. Hence the anxiety with which
VIC look upon speochless aficton and the welcome
we give to tears. And hence, too, the reluctance
with which attempt to speak in tho presence of
mighty woe. All language is inadequate, aud seems
garrulous and moreover something within bids us be
be still, and wait till the darkest OF the shadow passes
over A gallant vcssel--a glorious symbol Of modern
achievement, and O trophy of national PRIDE which,
in optic of wind and wave, has bridged the Atlantic
so purciusy that have calculated its periods as
We trust the clock-tiis noble vessel, with its
freight Of lives and sous suddenly, at noondly, and
On calm sea- is struck and perishes, Aud when the
iidpgs reach us, they fall apon with deadonng
weight. No roar of excitement bursts through the
streets Of tho City; but commune in sad groups,
and talk with batod breath We stand as it were,
in the swell Of the great ship, and SEQ ii go
down-letving all things desolste and still.
But IT, in the order Of nature, there is time to
keep silence, there is also 81 time to speak The
minds Of men, at first staggered and stunned settle
Into their course again. That great organ of public
.ertment the Press, commences with its discuss ons,
and. very properly with IFS denunciaons and warn
iprs And as in a circle of mcurners and of sympa-
,hising frien6s the stiffness il ittngly broken by
somo strain Of religious suggestions So upon an occa-
sion ike the present, the voice OF the Pulpit
Tho sneaker then gave his especial reasons for
taking UP the subject viz because it was expected
That he should do 50; because the calamity comes
livery near 70 us as community; and because OF the
religious suggestions growing out Of the occasion.
In seeking for some general subject said he, which
shall comprehend whatever is appropriate for the
present time have that we might draw lnso
lation and profit from q consideration Of the linus If
he material forces which have their sphere IN the
world around US The disaster with which our minds
are now excited is primarily physical disaster; 1t
Illustrates tho liability OF man in contact with tho
powers Of nature He lives in this world on terms
which ne cannot evade. With all the JOY OF exist
t,ce with all the glory and muniicsnce of the uni
| verse. with all the dignity OF his being and the
achievements Of his thought, death and suffering are
in his lot; winds and the electric huid and
the blasting FIRE, will have their course; iron viii
pj,rce. timbers will break, and the ocean VIII en-
1 Gulf But these material forces in whose web
l be is involved which work not only for hn,
ybut against him: here their limits as well as their
1ess-snd to these | call your attention. Hitherto
shalt thou come but no further; and here soa thy
proud waves be stnye ed" There Is no one portion
Of outward nature which so tly represents the whole
;. hat of which these words are spoken-the vas,
