| the work of Christ, the Saviour, is
ended, there will be no vestige or
trace of sin left on the earth, but the
saints of the Most High will possess
it, and it shall be filed with the glory
of God.
When shall the glorious result be
accomplished? At the second adj
vent of Christ, when he shall come
a second time without sin unto saliva
tion.n In the first advent he made
peace for us and secured redemption
for US, and through His blood, the
forgiveness of sins. g.rare-s Z
The completion of our redemption
and that of the earth, and the resur-
rection of the dead will be at His Sec
ond coming We have three cotem-
poraneous events mentioned in scrip

/" the resurrection of the righteous
| dead" and the second coming of
/ Christ" That the latter event will
be personal and literal, there can be
no doubt, for His glorious consuma-
ton shall be when the Lord Jesus
| Christ should come whom the Heav-
ems must receive until the restitution
of all things, through Jesus Christ,
the ever blessed Goldman" God
manifest in the flesh"
Then this is the hope of the Church.
Glorious hope, we wait for it, we
hasten unto it, for then shall the ran
somed of the Lord return and come
to Zion with songs and everlasting
joy upon their heads; they shall OBJ
tain joy and gladness, and sorrow and
signing shall flee away.
This subject will be continued next
Sunday morning.
ST. PAUL's Episcopal CHURCH.
The services at the Episcopal Church
yesterday were, as usual, interesting
and solemn. The morning exercises
were conducted by Rev Mr.. Spalding,
Pastor, assisted by Rev Mr.. Hollis,
of Worthington, Indiana. At the
close of the morning service Mr..
Spalding announced that the sacra-
ment of the Lords Supper would be
administered on Thursday next
Thanksgiving Day-and very earn
estly exhorted the attendance of all
the congregation at that time. He
spoke with earnestness and feeling
in reference to the many blessings for
which all should be thankful, and
hoped the day would be regarded in a
spiritual sense as well as in obedience
to order of the Executive. na
He also announced that collection
would be taken up for the benefit of
the unfortunate race thrown into our
midst by the fortunes of war He
said that if that race was not looked
after and cared for, spiritually, by the
Protestant organizations, the colored
people would soon be under the con-
troll of the Pope of Rome, and subject
to his power. He therefore believed
it the duty of Protestant Christian de-
nominations to take steps at once to-
wards enlightening the colored peo-
pie, and the amelioration of their
condition in life, and hoped the mem
bers of the congregation would con-
tribute literally for that purpose. He
urged that the day was peculiarly APP
propriate for contributing to charita-
BILE purposes and spoke warmly in
favor of contributing for the benefit,
Of the Orphan Asylum of this city,
and urged the people not to forget
such noble cause, originated in this
place by warm hearted and benevo-
lently- disposed ladies. 1t ought not

who are blessed with bountiful sup
ply of this worlds goods, but the poor
