Sermon by the Rev. X. De Normandie
Repentance.

Sermon by the Rev. X. DE Normandie
on Repentance.
WASHINGTON, May ]. 1870.
Tic Rev. e. De N0rmandie preached this morning
in the Council Chamber OF the City Hall, the text
Repent We, for the Kingdom Of Heaven is at hand"
The preacher said the great difficulty with all per-
sons In becoming Christians was when to commence.
They always preferred to designate some time in
the future when 1t would be convenient. He said
now was the proper time, and the first step was re-
penfance, the next reformation. Repentance was
the inward recognition Of the force Of Gods TRUTH
and was necessary to bring the soul into proper re-.
lati0ns with GOd. Reformation was the outward
change, which ail men becoming Christians
should make In their actions and daily
life. Having put on these two changes Of
spirit and body It required strength than ever
to keep In the way Of light. The Christians path
was beset with multitude OF dangers and tempta-
ttOns. and IL took all the watchiu!ness ne could
bestow not to be found railing back into the old
OF Satan. For ali the world the Kingdom OF Heaven
II now at hand, and all who wish to be saved must
enter Chrlsts fold ut once.

Mr.. Reinke selected his text from Matthew

more than the work OF the regular vineyard hands

WASHINGTON, May ], 1870.
Rev. DR.. Boynton at the Central Congregational
church, today took his remarks from the text-'T
am the vine, We are the branches.'' He drew q
comparison between the growth and func.
tions Of the various parts OF tree and the
relations and duties or individual members to
the Church. Every leaf sent down to the
roots It's own fibre. and when its work was done
this bre contributed to the trunk, and thus all
the trees were monuments OF the work. The count
less generations Of the leaves gone were monu.
ments set up to mark where work had been per-
formed, and not such as tell only that q man Is
dead. From the course OF bud life the speaker Illus
traed his views OF the proper growth Of the Church
from the children within It's own families.

pise the very ground they tread. What

hand of God should ever be defiied by
the degrading footsteps of such being
steps more degrading by far in the
estimation of all true-minded people
than those of the reeling drunkard.
With what a naughty, erect gait he
walks our streets, and what a look OF
insufferable pride and conceit he wears
on his hardened face. Surely conscl-
ence, that precious gift of Heaven to
every human being, must be forever
stilled in his bosom. If it were not,
what tides of remorse and guilty fears
would sweep across his soul, what vis-
ions would haunt his sleeping and wax
ing hours, of desolated homes, biighted
hopes and blasted happiness. Men and
women made in the image of their
Creator, changed into likenesses OF the
evil one himself. Fair creatures looking
up to the noble hearts in whose keeping
they have placed theirs, and who have
vowed ito love and cherish them to the
end of life, only to find tiieir sweetest
hopes cruelty blasted, their trust aud
confidence abused, and wishes sighted.
Children ambitious for fame, love. honor,
and everything dear to the human heart
held back by the bitter shame of a drum

about $40, 600, while there are but loo, ,0OO
