When Doctors Differ, etc.

On Sunday, October GOTH. Rev. Or. Eyaris,
pastor Of the First Baptist Church in Chicago.
preached sermon on the great fire, in which
he is reported in the 7imes as saving:
s'Ie had heard on the morning after the
fire one man say The Lord had gone back on
Chicago This expressed the truth ia a vul-
gar but forcible manner. The Lord had a
message to Chicago in this tremendous FIRE
and desolation. lie had an important lesson
to teach us and we should seek to decipher its
meaning.
''The preacher then proceeded to specify
some Of the specific sins which were thus pun
ished. Chicago had become thoroughly pro-
flgate, fully as bad as New York or Paris.
Profigacv had become ohtrusive and Haunted
itself without shame. The majority of young
men were living only for a cultivated animal
enjoyment. The more dangerous FIRE of in
temperance was destroying every year mere
wealth and happiness than the great coufla-
grafton. The atheism of the anti-Sabbatari-
ans was rebuked also in our desolation. No
people could be saved without Sabbath"
Per contra, the Rev. Robert Collyer, of
Unity Church. on the same day preached at
the Church, of the Messiah. in Chicago, from
the text, "And he said, Son of Man, stand
on thy feet"
In the course of his sermon, Mr.. Coiiyer
argued against the doctrine of those religious
teachers, who hold that the greater the hu-
initiation before, the more likely we are to
secure his favor. lie is reported as follows,
when discussing the Mayors proclamation
making Sunday day of fasting, ETC.:
1--WE should stand upon our feet and face
everything, and learn not to look upon wars,
pestilence, famine and great fires as .udg-
ments on our own improvidence. In answer
to the proclamation that the day be observed
as one of humiliation and prayer, he would
have the people confess the sin they had fall
en- into of building great fre-trap of pine
boards and shingles. There could be no work
brought forth more meet for repentance than
strong brick buildings with fre-proof walls.
The Almighty would be better pleased with
one fre-proof building than a thousand peo-
pie groveling and crouching before His
throne.o
