FIRST PARISH CHURCH.
R.v Mr.. Bailey preached an impressive dis
course to his people yesterday, and some OF
b : RI marks were, no doubt, very unexpected.
The theme of his discourse was based upon
words taken from ST. johns Gospel, IA chap
t-r, 23d verse. eff man love me he will keep
nv words" After speaking OF the great power
Of love aud the influence it exerts, he referred
to the sacrament of the Lords Supper, and re-
mirsed that it was the best affectionate COM
mand of Christ to his disciples that they
should thus remember Him, by partakipg of
the Holy Supper, as a memorial OF His love.
He remarked in this connection that it SEEM
ed strange to him that those who loved the
Master, could not feel it was His command
for His followers to remember Him by partak-
ing of the emblems of His love. But he knew
there were Christians who held honest doubts
npon the subject Mr.. Bailey stated :hat he
had ministered to his people three years and it
had been his eudeavor to preach Christ to
them. He said that by their Blindness he had
neen called to minister to them. He was
aware when he received the call, that it was
from parish that was ancient aud well estab-
l'shed in the true faith Of the fathers. He
knew some were fearful that their pastor was
departing from this faith, and if they prefer
ed another who could preach to them the
Gospel more satisfactory than himself, be
should, as their friend, be glad to assist them
10 selecting such one, if they desired. There
were better and ADLER men, and he asked them
how he could & now whether his ministrations
had pleased them and had been productive
of good. With much feeling be thanked them
for the Kindness they bad extended to him and
his, and closed by exhorting all to do the will
of God.
