Re'igious. = Yesterday, at the United

tham. Mass, preached for Rev. Mr. Miller, the
regular pastor, an excellent sermon from The
text All things are yours" showing
lst. That only to the Christian is given the
good things of the world, in just that degree
and measurement which will contribute to their
proper enjoyment, without harm or safety /;
while in regard to others, desires and passions
are stimulated which cannot be fully met, and
they are left unsatisied and unhappy.
I'd. That to the Christian all the sorrows and
evils OF the world result in deepening his re-
ligious experiences and developing bis Chris,
tan character, while to others all trials and
s0rrows are unmixed evils.
These points we're ably presented and forc;.
