GRACE CHURCH.

Large Congregation and Fine Ser.
vice-SOme Plain Speaking About the
Fire in Fourteenth street-A Very Brief
Sermon. III
Grace church yesterday morning was exception
ably well filled with fashionable and well-dressed
congregation. Every seat was occupied and the
aisles were at their lower extremities blocked up
with Christmastide worshlppers The service was,
as usual at this church on the great holidays OF
the year, In exquisitely good taste, and
what with Its Yule decorations OF ever
green's and holly and flowers, and the
bright dresses OF the assembled congregation,
the scene was quite brilliant and imposing. The
piece de resistance OF the ceremony, however, was
OF course the music, and the anthems and hymns
were admirably rendered. At the close OF the
prayers DR.. Potter, in the OF his usual no.
tices OF church meetings, alluded to
THE DESTRUCTION OF GRACE CHAPEL
in terms OF strong Indignation. He said that he
could not but regard the conduct Of the propretors
only call an act Of incendiarism. More than a
month ago the civil authorities had warned
them that their premises were source Of
danger TO the surrounding property, and yet moth
ing had been done to remedy the evil. Things In
this city had, indeed, reached Q deplOrable pass
rights and lives ana property OF citizens was toll
Grated. One Of these nne days, perhaps, when
hall New York found itself in the street
HOMELESS AND UNsHELTERED,
q reform would be instituted. 1t was clear that
the Inspector OF Public Buildings and the Superin-
tendent OF the Fire Department should have power
to compel proprietors to protect themselves and
others against loss and ruin.
Dr. POtter's sermon was Of the briefest, taking
less than ten minutes In its delivery. Its point,
however, was very seasonable and appropriate.
This was the fact that Christmas, the birthday OF
Christ, was the childrens festival above all else,
and that it was our especial duty at this happy
season to provide for tho comfort and the happi-
ness OF the little ones.
THR GREAT FEATURE OF cHRIsT's TEACHING
was that he constantly urged us to cultivate the
spirit OF children. Obedience was greater than
achievement, ana the performance Of duty more
sublime than the indulgence OF will. And we could
not do better than resolve now to initiate the trust
ul disposition and the confidence in the royal law
OF love which marked the child.

The reverend gentleman's remarks went to show
that Christ was no less God than man when He
took upon Himself perisnable body. He said
that the Church which He had established was
sufficient proof to crush to atoms the taacies and
sophistrtes Of psilanthropists and atheists. When

gave to them . s#ee#
THE PANACEA FOR THEIR AILMENTS.
God might nave cleansed the world from all its sins
without sending His Son among us in the shape Of
man, or when He had done SO He could have
ceansed us without having Him spill His precious
blood. But mol He wished to give MS an ex-
ample OF humility In suffering. charity, among
haters and obedience to Gods Will, which might
be held up for emulation to generations until the
end Of time. And this example we have In the
birth, life and death OF Christ. who, ON Q cold
dreary night, just 1872 years age, came into this
world OF sorrow and suffering to redeem fallen,
0bduriate man from his errors, and open to him
the gates OF the Eternal CITY, where you invited
TO join Him for an eternity OF time. Then take
Christ for your model, and His humility in becom-
Ing man will not have been without Its effect. May
you all hive TO celebrate the Redeemer's birthday
for many years to come, and at the end emerge to
