SERMON BEFORE THE HOME MISSIONARY
SOCIETY.
by PRESIDENT sTuRTEyAST.

PRESIDENT sTURTEyAST.
The annual sermon in behalf of the American Home
Missionary Society preached in the Presbyterian
Church in Madison square, last evening, by the Rev.
j. Nj. STURTEvANT, ID. D., President of Illinois Col
lege Jacksonville, Ill. The Interior of the brilliant
edifce was not entirely filed although large audi
ence was present including considerable number Of
ministers. After the singing of missionary hymn,
prayer was offered by the Rev. DR.. William Adams
pastor of the Church, The text was the passage:
These twelve Jesus forth and commanded them, say
ina Go not into the Of the Gene aud into any city OF
the enter not: but 90 ye rather unto the lost
sheep Of the house OF Israel
The superficial reader Of the Bible often mistakes
the meaning of these words. They were not uttered
in that spirit of Jewish exclusveness which would con-
fine all truths to one nation and peculiar people
Many people suppose the Jewish dspensStion to have
been failure. They have but shallow view of the
purpose of Gods provdential dealings with the Jew
sh nation in training and educating single people
of which he might make Christian teachers for all
mankind. The early education of the jews had been
such made It peculiarly proper for the Savior 10
send his first disciples to the lost sheep of the
home of Israel. The first message Of saliva
ton was sent 10 the Jews because the Gentiles
were not yet prepared TO receive this crisis
Of the age There are several analogies between
the age Of the dawn of Christianity and the age in
which we live. In that age the people pointed
by the prophecies to the great event of the coming Of
the Savior in this age the dead prophets being dead
vet speak and lead 70 look To the great ent of
The spreading Of the triumph OF the gospel throughout
the world He thought, also there was an analogy
between the going out OF the hrst converted jews
INTO the great heather world and the sublime mission
of the early fathers of this country who came over
into the wilderness Of the New World to prepare the
way of the Lord. He thought the American people
ought 10 have share of the prayers and sympsthes
Of the whole Christian world correspondent with that
with which the early Jews were favored from Christ
and his disciples The Jews were the agents OF the
conversion OF the Roman Empire by then forced DIS
pensions; the American people shall De tnat oil Tue
worlds conversion by their voluntary migration.
He referred to the great migrations which history
has already witnessed within few centuries IRON The
Old World to the New making an ocean once untrsv-
ersed now highway of the world. He referred also
10 the rapid settlement of the more remote parts oil
this country in the West which till within compare
lively few years have remained almost uninhaoi'eu
The spectacle Of this rapid colonization Is TO be re-
garded not as exclusive TO continent but as world
phenomenon.

extent of country on this continent which remains

THE STAGE AND THE PULPIT.
BY THE REV. SIDNEY A. COREY.

The Rev. S. A. COREY, pastor of the Baptist Church
corner of Thirty fourth street and Fifth avenue, de-
vered sermon last evening, in which he endeayored
to show that the theaer was extremely pernicious in
its influence end such should be little counter
anced as possible.
The announcement in advance Of a subject which
has occasioned 20 much discussion since the late
address of DR.. Bellows together with the fact that
Mr.. Corey was himself formerly member of the
theatrical profession, drew together very large
audience.

APRonmrroRY Law. The Portland State
Of Maine refers to some local attempts to
interrolate now tosts into the Republlcan
party creed. It refers especially TO pro-
hibitory liquor law. In this section Of the
State, no such tets are attempted, and
nothing Of the kind is thought Of. There
is general. and we may say universal, ac-
auicsccnce in the course taken hy the lcsls-
laturo last winter, and by the Republican
State Convention in regard to tho Maine
law. And this, too, without what mny be
deemed indifference regarding the subject Of
Temperance. That virtue is as important
aud precious now as IL ever was, but 10
seems clearly taught by past experience
that in the present state Of the public mind,
no good to the cause Of temperance, and no
advantage to the Republican organization
can como Of making rrohibitory law a
matter Of political party creed. Personal
convictions and personal prcjudiccs, even
upon the Maine Law, are found 10 be str1n-
ger than any attachments to politicalTariy,
and it has we'll and wisely been thought
bcst by the Republicans Of the State, 90 UNI
yoke this matter from politics, and TO leave
this great subject Of Temperance upon the
same basis with other matters relating 20
the public welfare, for the action OF men Of
all parties, whether in or out Of the lcgis-
hturo. 10 bring in this .ulecinow would
do no good to the cause Of Temperance,
would serve no good purpose, and only pro-
duco agitation without beneficial results.
