and attentive congregation yesterday morning in
Lyric Hall, on Sixth avenue, opposite Reservoir
square. AS with most OF his dscourses, he took no
text from the Bible, but delivered himself OF an
essay-an essay characterized by his usual style
free, vigorous and full of impassioned energy OF
thought and expression. His theme was the "Use
and abuse Of faith In immortal fe." This subject
had been suggested to him, he began, by the fre.
quency Of late Of deaths Of distinguished men.
Where there was lie there was death. and where
there was death there was immortality.

casses-the simple and the unlearned, the wisest
and most cultured, The arguments are the same
