pressve sermon in the Union M. 4. Church,
on last Sabbath, from Colosians, LIST chapter
and "a verse" Set your affections on things
above, and not on things of the earth" He
observed that when Tod created man, he made
him perfectly happy. HappiHess, however,
was not made understandable; it might be lost,
1 and acquired. But the desire could not be
lost, and II was therefore universal. The soul
Is always seeking after something beyond it,
constantly seeking after happiness and enjoy
ment. The text furnished the secret of true
happiness add enjoyment; Set your alec
tions on things above" The things of-the
earth are transitory and inadequate to happi-
ness. He spoke OF the object OF mans 5ifec-
tions, and observed that the grace OF God did
not create new lungs in man, but IL set him
to breathing in the right direction,--t did
not give him new hands but Il set them TO
perlerm the proper kind of work. He remark
cd that when a man is renewed by grace
ms affections were not new, but merely trans
TERED from the things OF earth to heaven -
Hatred was not obliterated by conversion, but
It was changed from good objects to evil ones.
! Converted men love God and what is right,
and hate the Devil and all evil things. The
| love OF God and love Of man formed the sum
total Of the New Testament. Merchants may
fail, banks may break, but the Christian can
say with the Apostle, &C know in whom
can trust" He spoke ef credit and conf
dence, and observed that faith which brings
salvation into the world, was simple trust.--
| If men can rely on one another, he continued,
why can they not rely on the promises Of Godi
He referred TO the loneliness OF Christ who
Notwithstanding all his suifsrings went up to
heaven blessing those who prosecuted him, as
well os those who believed upon him. He IL
Illustrated tho sin and folly of men In placing
their affections on the things of the earth, by
an allusi0n to the rich man, "who thought with
IN himself, saying what shall do, because /
have no room where to bestow my fruit And
| he said, this will do, will pull down my
barns and build greater and there will be-
stow all my fruits and my goods. And will
I say to my soul, Soul thou hast much goods laid
up for many years; take thine ease eat, drink
and be merry. But God said unto him Thou
foolI this night thy soul shall be required of
| thee; then whose shall these. things be, which
thou hast provided2' 90 Mr.. K. concluded BY
urging all to take no undue thought of the
things Of this world, but to lay up their
treasures in heaven where moth and rust do
not corrupt, Nor thieves break In and steal.
