CHI. xiii, '. xiii.
The above was the text Of most eloquent and
instructive DISCOURSE delivered yesterday, at Four
and-ahalf Street Church. by the Rev. Mr.. Sunder-
land, the much-loved pastor Of that congregation.
Charity constituted the principal topic Of the
discourse. He pointed out the distinction between
charity and the mere bestowal Of aims, with great
power and beauty, holding that the latter, though
always commendable, might be prompted by sell
6shness, the love Of newspaper heraldry and Of
the street-chanters praise; while charity was
pure principle, exercised without fear, favor, or
Partially free from bigotry tolerant, and unbiased
by personal OF political prejudices or feelings II

nor eradicated by hatred, revenge or remorse but
always guided BY the eternal principles Of justice
and right.
These are truths which delighted TO hear. In
these troublous times, when the community seems
almost convulsed by the revenge and madness of
partisan excitement and fury, Il is source OF no
little pleasure to hear one, gifted with such power
and eloquence, proclaiming from tho pulpit these
great truths thus lending the weight Of his infu-
ence, position and character, to stem the torrent
of these wild and madlike passions which are now
20 rife In our midst II.

connection with the matter further than to sign the

Gil. BY making this correction, you win much
oblige your obedient servant,
