Rsl;qious.-At the Baptist church, yesterday
morning, Rev. j. +. Deans delivered an aole
discourse, on the glory of the Gross, from
these words: "But God forbid that l should
glory. save in the Gross Of our Lord Jesus
Christ, He set forth the fact that men in this
day gloried 10 the things of this world rather
than their future salvation, dc.
At the Methodist church at night, the pastor
Rev. w. II. Christian, occupied the pulpit.
He selected as his text Hebrews 2, 8: Chew
shall we escape, if we neglect so great saiva-
tion." The speaker after referring to the fact,
that in former discussion he had considered
the magnitude and Importance OF the great
salvation spoken of in the text. proceeded to
show the impossibiity of escaping the wrath OF
God il this salvation be neglected. This az
pesred from the following considerations
l. The negeotor of this salvation violates inf.
mite obligation to God and eaunot escape punishment
for such an act.
q Man is able to devise no other plan of saliva
ton.
8. No more powerful efforts will ever be made for
the salvation Of men than have been made
4. Men cannot escape by mere moral code, how
ever excellent.
s. Nor by eluding divine vigilance.
g. Nor by evsding divine justice.
7. Nor by purgatorial fires
There can be no escape.
In conclusion, observe that the ground OF
exception in the text to human conduct is the
mere neglect of their salvation.
