THE ALEXANDER PRESBYTERIAN MISSION cSuscl.
Discourse by Rev. DR.. Miller.

Discourse by Rev. DIR. Miller.
Last evening the Rev. Dr. Miller preached at this
church from the following text:-Micah, seventh
chapter, eighteenth verse, "He deghteth in mercy"
The preacher, In the course OF his remarks said that
q distinction is often made between the terms
''mercy' and grace" Both are divine favOrs.
Mercy includes all favors which divine goodness
bestOws. Grace is that favor which saves. God re-
talneth not His anger for ever, because He de-
lighteth in mercy. Our text teaches US most
plainly that God delighteth in saving lost
men. He does not wantonly suffer one pang
to aflct His creatures which His goodness may pre-
vent The question Is asked II God delights IN mercy
why docs he bring thousands and tens Of thousands
Of beings into existence who He knows are 10 suffer
ages sSa q mse ssS n e hs e My to a @ ARE
Another answer Is, Whatever the Great Judge OF all
the earth does is right, and another is that the
wicked receive only the rewards OF their merit
God III one sense wills tile destruction Of sinners,
and in another sense he does not The minister
of justice earth, while lie is desirous Of vndca-
ting the integrity Ofthe law yet pr0nounces sentence
upon the culprit with pain To himsef-a duty wnicn
his humanity recoils at and would fam avoid All
are familiar with the New Testament's declarations
OF Gods mercy" God SD loved the ewOrld that de
gave His only begotten son." &c. He delighteth in
in mercy He mas no pleasure in the death OF the
wicked. He Is not willing that any should perish,
but that all should come to him and be saved.
The promise 10 fallen Adam IN the garden
Of Eden IS reproduced time and again through the
sacred Scriptures. Never did mortal man rush 10
the scafrold where the despairng criminal trembed
III the lace of 1gnOmlnous death, with the news Of
pardon. with thrill OF JOY like that with which our
Saviour announced himself the ransom for race.
Nowhere does the Lords delight in mercy show IL
self so prominently as in Jesus Christ, ana him cru
Cined and since having, given US His only the
Father must give us all things He has also bestowed
His holy spirit to comfort US ana 10 strive with
us against SIN. When stand by Jesus IN Geth-
semene, hanging on the Cross, sec in the
travail OF Ills soul the working of HIS infinite love
how that though rich yet for our sakes He became
poor, and even gave Himself to die the ignOminiOus
death OF the cross that the world might not perish.

OF reckoning and condemnation IL summed up and
fulfilled. IL s faithful saying, and worthy OF all
ceptaton, that Christ came INTO the world to save
sinners. Let not any OF risk that eternal woe OF
which the most poignant pang will be the recoec-
ton that GOd held out to the offers of salvation
that lie loved us and besOught us TO accept pardon
and we rejected il.

and asked, ''What will you DO with Jesus ~ The

Of An existence without pain or sorrow, and whose
Joys are real and eternal
The reverend gentleman then pointed out how by
pley this great boon may be ours Although the Bible
says that no wicked man can enter into the
the Kingdom OF heaven, by the grace OF God eternity
is only terrible reality TO the unrepentant and
glorious one 70 the penitent righteous man. One
may say the conditions too hard. We have lost,
IL s true, by sin much OF what we inherited but God
comes to US In the person OF the Saviour and holds
out TO us the priceless boon, eternity, to those who
believe In Hima life that never dies, glory that
fades not away. This Is eternal life, free gift ike
any other OF those enjoy, a. free as the light OF
day. the rivers rolling TO the ocean around this
city.
God has urged us TO accept His gft or eternal life,
and who would spurn such an offer ~ this-whO
would refuse itf God made this gift by giving up
HIS Son, and we cannot understand, and never
shall what 1t was for Him TO give him up; but we
only know that II was an awful sacrifice. What was
purchased such an immense price Is freely offered
and freely bestowed-a free gift from God. 10 re-
ject this GIFT II to be lost.
