Rshgious.--Rev. Mr.. Dram preached an in
teresting sermon in Asbury NJ. E. Church, last
Sabbath mvrHing from the text, "Lord have
loved the habitation of thy house, and the
place whore thy house dwelleth." 9th verse of
18th Psalm. He remarked that the very lan-
gnage OF this Psalm would lead us to conclude
that it was written Ivy David while fleeing from
the wrath Of Saul. Hunted like wild beast,
and surrounded by vilifers and traducers, he
appealed to God for the uprightness and in
tegrity of his purpose. ltwas great COM
fort when attacked by enemies to be able to
make such APPEAL to God. Whenever integ-
rity and uprightness form the main spring OF
action, they will exhibit themselves in the
conduct Of the individual, and only necessity
can modify or cause a variance from them.-
Those who can appeal to God for the correct
ness Of their purposes and motives, have good
hopes ofa glorious habitation hereafter, as piety
begun on earth will ultimately be crowned In
heaven. By tho habitation Of Gods house,
we understood the place where Gods people
gathered. He spoke of the custom to erect
places OF worship, referring to the altar erected
by Abel, by Noah, Abraham and Jacob, also the
tent OF the congregation which God directed
Moses to erect without the Camp OF the Chill
dren of Israel, after their passage through tue
Red Sea. He observed that professions were
all vain, unless their faith was manifested in
actions; as those who really loved the Savior
loved to do good. There is something In the
heart OF aChristian that leads him to seek the
association Of Christian. No trifiing circum-
stance would keep him away from the haDlta-
ton of Gods people. Constant attention. ana
constant regard will be exhibited for tn5 pi.as
OF worship by him who truly leye God. lie
attends service not out of idle curiosity as
many do, but with fervor and DEVOTION
Another means by which to judge ola mans
sincerity arc the efforts he makes for the con-
version of others. He argued that it persons
loved the house of God they would be Jealous
to stand up tor its honor-they wo uld see
that proper edifice was erected and seek to
relieve it from debt or financial difficulty
Were it not for few liberal spirits he feared
that mag houses erected for tho worship OF
God would come under the Sheriff'5 ham,
mer, and I've converted to other purpose
than those for which they we're designed. His
discourse was q rebuke to the illiberal spirit
that has kept Asbury, though one of the Oldest
churches in the State, with the largest mem
bership, with debt at this time of some
$4,000
