His Ninety ninth and One Hundredth Sermons
in Saratoga.


SARATOGA, July %, 1871.
Rev. T. L. Cuyler, OF Brooklyn, mas spent portion
OF twenty-five summers in Saratoga. On Saturday
he delivered in the Presbyterian church his ninety
ninth discourse, In presence Of one Of the largest
audiences ever assembled in the town. Hundreds
were unable to gain admission. Tho Doctor an
nounced as his text Luke XVII, 22-"It came to
pass that the beggar died and was carried
by the angels into Abrahams bosom; the rich
man also died and was buried" The chief
bearing Of this startling parable OF Lord
is not upon time but upon eternity. Like
lighthouse ON headland 1t throws It's beams
out over the dark, unsounded sea before us. 1t
teaches the immediate transition Of the soul either
INTO state OF torture or of triumphant glory. While
the body or poor Lazarus was gnawed by the dogs
his spirit was in Abraham's bosom at the banquet
OF bliss. While the rich mans body was being
sumptuously buried his selfish soul was already IN
the agonies OF The hell he had prepared for himself
by graspng, goddess life. Is 1t a sin TO be rlchr
No. for wealth is q reservoir which, II filled by
honesty and drained by Christian berality, is
blessing to the world. Not what man gets but
what he gives makes him rich. Such men
Lenox and Dodge and WillisOn ought to make
money for The glory OF God and the good OF men as
much as Spurgeon ought to preach the glorious Cos

1t means danger ahead II means destruction anu
death eternal to the selfish sinner who lives without
God. The flames Of he'll may be within the lost soul
or around IT. No matter which, either Is damnaton.
To-day wave the signal lantern Of danger from this
pulpit Let every unconverted soul IN this assembly
be warned in season aud fee to the cross ana the
Outstretched arms Of Jesus Christ.
In the evening DR.. Uuyler preached to a great
crowd in the Congregational church. He prefaced
his discourse by saying that his first sermon to the
people OF Saratoga was delivered twenty -four years
ago. in the basement lecture room OF the OLD Pres
byterlan church, then under the pastOrate OF Rev.
DR.. Chester. Since that time he mad been permit
ted to address many thousand auditors from the
various pulpitS OF the town. and tonight he had
reached his hundredth discourse. He had often
addressed appeals TO the uncovered, and
Christian life. Tonight ne would discourse
