Quite an interesting and appropriate sermon
was preached last evening by the Rev. DR.. Krebs,
at the Fifth avenue Presbyterian church, on the
Presbyterian foreign missions. The reverend gen.
tleman took his text from First Thessalonans, Sc
cond chapter and sixteenth verse. An abstract
of the annual report of the board was also read,
showing that the aggregate amount of the re-
ceipts is less than acknowledged last year,
owing partly to the sums received from legacies
and from the government on account of Indian
schools being less and also to the withdrawal Of
contributions by churches Of the so-caled seeded
States; but the amount received from churches in
other parts of the country is in advance Of the
amount received from the same sources last year.
The receipts were s176,e3s A. the expenditures

sury of $3.50 Sc.
The annual sermon Of the American and Foreign
Christian Union was preached last evening by the
Rev Kingston Goddard, d. D., Of Cincinnati, At
st. Georges church. After the usual evening
service, which was read by the Rev. Dr.. Tying, the
Rev. DR.. Goddard sscended the pulpit and selected
his text from the nineteenth chapter of Revela-
tions and eleventh verse. The sermon described
the power of the Word of God as the great in
strumentality in the hands Of the church for con-
verting the world. The preacher stated, in the
first place, that Gospel success depended upon q
practical acknowledgment of the great principles
that are interviewer with the gospel system. He
then proceeded TO show what those principles
were, under which discussion he laid down as ad-
mitted facts: First-Thst the world was finally 10
be converted to the knowledge OF Christ. Second
ly-That no form Of existing error can, therefore,
successfully resist the Gospel. Thirdly-That the
glory Of Gospel success will accrue to Christ
Fourthly-The instrumentality used must be such
as not to interfere with the result. And lastly
The great instrument to he used is the Word of |
God.
The annual sermon before the Church Anti
Slavery Society was preached by the Rev. DIR.
Cheever, at the Union square church, last evening
The building was comfortably filed. The rever-
end gentleman selected his text from the ll9th
Psalm, the l34th verse. The discourse was VIZ
orous one, and as usual with the sermons of this
preacher, was redundant with assaults on the cita-
del Of slavery. He regarded the emancipation
of the slaves in the District OF Columbia az the
only true victory Of the war, and insisted that no
peace should be made with the rebels unless
slavery be altogether extinguished.
