Trinity Church In the morning, Rev Mr.
discussed from the 9th verse Of the 18th chapter
of Hebrews Looking unto Jesus" The text
contained a comprehensive truth, and one which
u was worth their while to consider. 1t is, that
Jesus Chr ST is the great object whom men are
"IhOrted 20 behold, and God has marked 1t by
providence and grace that Jesus must be looked
- and considered. He so stands before the world
that be must either be accepted rejected. His
history was so closely interviewer with the history
of the world that Gibbon could not write Of the
decline and fall of the Roman empire without
referring to Jesus; nor Hallam the history of the
middle ages; nor modern historians the history
Of modern progress without being confronted al

was the sun placed in the heavens to be the
light of this material world than was Jesns the
light OF the spiritual. Every upward and onward

e1emplifying this truth In a variety Of WAYS
And these Were, first those who looked simply at
Jesus secondly: those who would look into Jesus;
ahd- thlroly, those who obey the precepts of the
text, who look unto Jesus The reverend gentle
min then proceeded to consider the habit of mind
which was indicated by those who looked at
Jesus In these various ways, who, though all
looking unto him, it was only the latter class
those who looked g unto Jesus, ;" who properly
viewed him.
