THE CHURCHES.
Centre Church, Rev. N. Mighill, pas
tor, Apr. ., 1871, A. NJ. Text, Pc. l: A.
| The words oil Christ to Peter concerning
the death ofthe latter, recorded in the gospel
| of John, are to be connected with this text
We are here told that Peter, an aged man,
taught that his life is not to run its natural
course,-knows from the nature of the case
that the time of his departure is at hand.
The text is an expression of the situation
of all with reference to the duration of
earthly existence; our short continuance
in the present state forces upon us certain
courses of action. l. The body should be
| kept in subsection. The body is an instru-
ment of the soul. 1t is Indispensable in
this sphere of action, but cannot be exalt-
cd nationally and rlghteously to the chief
place, or to high place. That the spirit
should serve the flesh is transgression of
the divine law given in our constitution,
in the order of providence, and in the
written word. Not only is the body an in
strunent, but it is temporary instrument.
There is injustice, refinement of cruelty to
ourselves in causing our activities to CEN
tire in narrow department of our being.
When thought, affection, aspiration, hope
are bound to the body and the cold wave
of the river of death touches it, the spirI.
must turn to spiritual things some Oh Ito
elements of future retribution are here dis
cerned. 2. We should not exalt any per-
shable thing to high place in our esteem
and affection. Is there person who is not
certain that the world weaves meshes
about the spirit which bind it DOWN. "The
lust of the eyes, and the pride Of life may
be more mighty than "the lust of the
flesh" But are we not to be busy with
material things OF necessity and profitably?
Certainly; but we are not to employ the
mind and heart, as well as the hands with
them to slurring spiritual wants and aspir-
atoms, the knowledge of God, and the for
giveness of sins. Not only have we no
continuing home here; we are soon to
leave the earthly scene, are moving forward
at an even rate of speed to the end of the
journey. 3. AS we are soon to leave this
state of being we should prepare for an
other. Negatives are not enough for the
soul, and the gospel is positive. 1t sells
forth facts, actions, subjects of thought,
| hopes, duties, rewards. The Bible plainly
declares the disadvantage and degradation
of man. 1t orens the perfect law, and the
divine provision for the restoration Of man
kind. Christ is offered rs n Savior. This
is the good tidings, the best gift of God,
which it becomes us to rejoice in. All things
fail us, but the spirit abides in our spirit
ual being are the seeds of death, which ri
pen into future condemnation and woe if
not destroyed. This is the day of hope,
| ba af Code
effect the renewal of the heart, and prepar-
a ton for heaven. In conclusion a special
address was made to the aged, to whom the
text particularly az plies. All were urged
in view of the shortness and uncertainty
of time to prepare for eternity.
The Universalist Sabbath School Con-
cert last Sunday evening called out a very
large audience, The services were highly
interesting 10 all present, The programme
consisted Of speaking and reading, inter-
spersed with singing. The children all
performed their parts in manner which
gives them great credit and does honQx TO
the school. The selection entitled Prayer
and Potatoes" read by Mrs. Barrows, also
the one read by Mr.. Il. A. Lewis, were rem
dered in perfect manner, and were very
much appreciated. Little Alice Willard,
with her "Good Morning." was the most
pleasing feature of the evening. All went
away feeling better for the agreeable man
ner in which the children had entertained
them.
The sermon delivered at the Episcopal
church Sunday evening, April I'd, palm
Sunday by the rector Rev. c. c. Harris,
was of an historical character commeomra-
tive of the events referred to in st. Mat
thew 81: s, o; and the lesson sought to be in
culcated was the spiritual nature of Christ's
kingdom. every circumstance connaet-
ed with that rejoicing procession, clearly
