ST. STEPHENS CHURCH.

The pleasant state Of the weather yesterday
morning had the effect of allowing all persons
p0usly inclined to 90 to church. and deprived those
Gallons individuals, ever on the look out for some
excuse whereby they may postpone their prayers,
Of every chance to cav about the require
ments OF the church in the middle OF q
heated term These bad people had no
chance yesterday morning to plead exhaustion
of mind and body as a reason why their Sunday
devotions should not be performed, and the result
was that the churches were well filed with as
pirants for heavenly pabuum. In the Catholic
churches the halfpast ten O'Clock service well
attended, though In most OF these the sermon was
omitted, the pastors wisely remembering that in
such season as this there could be no knowing
what sort or turn the weather might take.
At st. Stephens church, In Twenty y-eighth street,
there was a noticeable increase in the numbers
attending the high mass as compared with Sun
days recently. when even In this large and splendid
temple the effect OF the heat was most disagreea-
bly, felt The high mass was celebrated yesterday
by the Rev. Father Lynch, the choir parts being all
sung fully usual. The music very at
tractive and II lighter compositions could In
any way reconcile people for the loss OF the sermon,
ing the GregoJian spirit to please the most ardent
admrer of brilliant and sparkling phrasing In the
other parts Of the mass more familiar and perhaps
more devotional music was sung, some OF which was
rendered with all the perfection that true artistic
effort always commands. Should the weather con-
time TO abate In solar pressure the sermons,
doubtless, will be soon resumed at this church.

Yesterday this church presented the appear
ance OF a theatre on day rehearsal The au-
dence room, or sanctuary was carpctless; the
cushions from the seats OF the pews were piled IN
mountainous heaps; there were the silent organ
and the empty chairs Of the choir. The house was
in the hands OF the renovators, the painters and
the kalsominers; there was everywhere an empty,
vacant tenantless, deserted look that contrasted
strongly with the memory OF q sea OF up

usually accompany the performance OF the drama

were services, however, yesterday, In the lecture

in the Holy Scripture which show that

are sufficient to convince us that we must not rely
too much on impunity In sin. Let no man presume
TO say that because God has been SO

years in sin that he will be suffered to continue in
crime. One more SIM in addition to those recorded
against him, may seal his DOOM What has

Can we expect to find mercy at the hands
OF God If we go on abusing His patience from year
TO year? Saint Paul warns us against this by tell
ing us tnat we treasure up for ourselves wrath
against the day OF wrath. When our
Saviour tells us in the Gospel that the peo

Of their deliverGnce,- we are called upon
to remember that we stand In danger; that

Sermon by the Rev. DR.. Hodge-The
Church the Bride OF Christ.

Church the Bride OF Christ
The Rev. Or. Hodge preached an eloquent and
instructive sermon at the Mariners Baptist
church, in Catherine street, yesterday morning
The learned divine took his text from Revelations
XXI o--"Come hIther I will shew tnee the BRIDE
the LAMBS wife"-and commenced by drawing the
attention OF the congregation to the fact that this
portion OF Gods word relates to the coming again
of the Lord Jesus. At that epoch the people will
be gathered together from all the ends OF
the earth and the sea will give up
Its dead. Christ will then celebrate His
nuptlals with Ills wcll.bcloved bride, the Church.
This marriage day is not far distant, and that
knowledge that the day Of supreme happiness is
near at hand ought to encourage and
STIMULATE OUR HEARTS.

espoused. II Is His gospel that brings them to His
feet They do not know themselves now, but they
