Worldly Ways-Sermon by Rev. DR.. Halsht.
st. Pauls church on Broadway was yesterday at
tended by a large congregation, attracted by the
sunshine and warmth, and possibly spurred on Dy
desire for the spiritual mama that might there be
gathered. Rev. DR.. Haighs. the pastor Of the
church, preached an eloquent sermon, his text
beng from Romans Kill, 2-"Be not conformed
to this world,n &C. He spoke of the utility
OF the penance during the holy Lenten season In
helping to prevent this conformation. He contin-
ued in this strain for some time. illustrating his
meaning by quotations from the writings Of the
apostles and other holy men. He said Paul con-
formed not TO the ways OF the world, and because,
not having done 30, has asserted his lie in Christ
and the life Of Christ in him. He instanced the
case Of a child who, having been baptized.
and thus become Q member OF Chrlst's fold being.
by the neglect OF parents, allowed to conform to the
world and become devotee to Its pleasures, so
loses those blessings to which he would be entitled
by the promise OF his Redeemer when he became
baptized in Him. This is not the fault
OF the child, but Of the authors Of its
existence, who by every right Of nature and a1ec.
tion should have shielded him from the temptations
besctung youth, and placed him where he would
learn to know his God and serve Him. Only by the
exercise OF the duties OF religion can this conforma
tlon to the ways OF the world be avoided, and gra-
dual transformation to the beautiful spirit OF true
Christianity.
