DIR. Chapin's Church.
There the usual attendance at this church yes
terday morning. Mr.. Chaplin took for his text the
first verse of the NTH chapter of Galatians 'Stand
fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath
made us free, and be not entangled again with the
yoke Of bondage" The most reasonable suppOsition
is that they to whom these words were addressed
had been heathens, and before their conversion
through the fundamentally of the apostle had
passed into Jewish proselytsm. 1t was against
their tendency to fall back again upon
Jewish 5,sI,ao I'd ideas and that Paul
that dalkens, corrupts and enslaves the mind.
Though we OF the present day may be in no danger
md In the text something that is applicable to u.s.
The text considers three thngs-bOndage, deliver
ance and the Deliyerer: The term bondage is very
large and comprehensive one. There is a bondage
which Is of the soul; there is that which is more
common than political bondage; there is that which
darkens and corrupts and Expresses men more than
letters; there is the bondage Of sensual habits and in
connection with this the bondage of materalism
Is not this very grovelng conditions Now In every
grade OF human nature we may discover at least
germs ofspritua life-sOme vague, dim apprehension
OF supernatural reality. So is not the contrast be-
ternay different? 1t is to be feared that many OF us
are In bondage to things which, though they may be
more refined in shape, are none the less weak and
Deggary elements Take for instance the large class
who are bound and thralled in bondage to appetites
those who walk erect in the form OF and yet
In lower condition than any brute; because the
brute has not forfeited his nature passing below the
plane OF his actual being In such men all the higher
elements OF their nature go down into the mire.
Some OF these are conscious Of their degradation,
others proud of it, It is right OF their mans
hood l to do as they win Though boastins their
forged for the limbs Of menp There are
men who are In bondage to passion, When we find
man with conscience and reason continually over
swept, we ind one OF the most terrible, the most
adjective forms of slavery. Very often we hear Of
men whose wills are strong spoken Of as strong
trOlled by his will, but who controls IT, The strong
man Is he who finding himself wrong even at the elev
entn hour, noby surrenders and makes the will sub
1t Is to maintain wrong. After discussing various
other forms OF soulbondage the preacher referred to
the deiiverance How often has liberty been miscon-
ceivedl How many there who think liberty is de-
liverance from all forms Of restraint Ask the school
boy his idea OF freedom, and will he not say that 1t
is to be free from parental discipline, school disci-
plne-free to do what he pleases? The prodiga found
that freedom was something very different from self
indulgence. Freedom is possible only where to some
extent an inward deliverance Of the soul has taken
place. The speaker closed his discourse by speaking
OF the Deverer In the course of which he alluded to
the anniversaries saying that all were moved more
or less by the spirit OF Jesus and that all recognized
the fact of the inward bondage Of which he had been

Divine service was held in Trinity church last
evening" the occasion being the delivery Of the annual
