The Return OF and sermon by Rev. JOHN
Rali--d;od's Demand Upon His Minister'S
Congratulations and Declaration OF Chris
tian Duty.
The Presbyterian church. Fifth avenue and Nine
teenth street. was filled even TO the passage ways
yesterday morning by congregation evidently
anxious, in a devotional way, to welcome the return
Of Rev. John Hall, the pastor of the church, who
during the summer solsdce has been seeking
health abroad. After prayer and singing, which
IN TINS church Is, with the aid OF precentor and
unadorned organ, congregational, the reverend
gentleman selected as his text the First Epise OF
Paul to the Corinthians, L., lIFor Christ sent me
not to baptze but 10 preach the Gospel; not with
wisdom OF words, lest the cross OF Christ should
made OF none elfect.'
Before entering fully or directly upon the subject
suggested by the passage the reverend gentleman
took occasion TO say that he was very thankful to
God for the benefit he had derived from the Iest he
had taken-the longest and most beneficial he
pertaining 10 4 minister OF Chrst's Church-and he
did not think lie could better give evidence of his
thanks thar by recognizing the peculiar duties
taching TO the minister OF Christ as declared by
Paul in the text he mad read.
Ii would be seen by the language Of the text that
Paul placed the preaching OF the Gospel the first
and highest OF his duties AS minister of Christ and
that all other duties were secondary 10 that even
tnat OF baptlzing and the celebration OF the Lords
supper. But, In addition, 1t should be ob.
served that while Paul placed the preach
ing OF the Gospel highest among
ministerial duties he also added how the Gospel
should be preached, mot with wisdom OF words lest
the cross OF Christ should become OF none effect"
To this declaration OF Paul he gave a marked con-
sequence, and during somewhat elaborate dis
course gave TO IT more OF emphasis than TO any
other OF the points involved In the verse he had
chosen. lie noted the temptation, to cergymen
who have talent for word painting TO endcavor to
more fully impress Gospel truths upon their hearers
by leaving the wonderfully beautiful simplicity Of
the language used bv Christ for the con-
veyance OF His doctrine and employing more
ornate and sensational forms OF speech. Such
course he discouraged and, In concluding his SER
mon, declared his preference for Cnrst's simplicity,
ana implored It's imitation not only 10y the clergy,
but also by those VINO hold subordinate positions
teachers IN the churcn ana It's sunday schools, and
by parents VINO strive to rear their children IN tine

his discourse. Of which, OF course, the above is

concluding hymn, and with Il bcncdictI0n retired.

Rev. Chaunccy Giles on Christian Duty
The swedcnborgian's Fuller Revelation

AT the New Jerusalem church, in East Thrty-hfth

tendance was quite large, and the pastor, Rev.
Cnauncey Giles, who has been absent several weeks
from his charge delivered an impressive discourse
from the text Luke, Xil 47 ana 4s-"And that SER

but did commit things worthy OF stripes, shall be

committed much. OF him viii they ASK the more"
In these words the minister declared the Lord

upon them and go staggering along through life, or
fall. crushed 10y them, which the Lord never put
upon them anl which lie even offers to bear for
them. While lie asks more than we are able TO
give lie asks no less. He does not abae one jot OF
