THE MINISTRY OF THE Holy ANGELs.-Yes-
terday being the festival of st. Michael and All
Angels, Bishop Nicely delivered an unusually
able discourse at ST. Lul5e's Cathedral on the
character and ministry of the order of the Holy
Angels. The sermon was very clear and posi-
tive in its statements relative to the existence
of the above named order of beings, which are
next higher in the scale of creation to man, and
not simply the spirits of just men made perfect,
as is very generally the impression. This dis
tinction was strongly enforced, the Bishop
claiming that no authority whatever could be
found in the Scriptures for assuming that there
was any identity between these two distinct
and separate orders of beings. This was abund-
antly proved by reference to the Scriptures, and
the Bishop proceeded to define the nature of
the ministry of the Angels and their near rela-
tons to the faithful Christian in all the walks
of life. Very little is revealed to of the rank
of the Angels, although the Christian may be
considered as the highest with the Seraphim
second, both being included in the order of
Arehangels. The lesson drawn from the dis
course was that the near and intimate relations
of the Holy Angels with the faithful followers
of Christ should be more widely recognized and
cultivated, SO that at last all who are worthy
may come unto those heavenly habitations
where dwell an innumerable company of An
gels and the glorifed spirits of the righteous.

SUNDAY SERvIcRs.-Rev George w. Bick-
nell preached at the India street church yester-
day morning, discourse suggested by the re-
cent pardon of Thomas Thorn. He alluded at
first to the subject of punishment as inflicted
by human society, its kinds and its object. The
aim hitherto has been primarily to warn the
criminal by pain, and to protect society by the
examples; but the reformation of the criminal
has been to little thought of. Why is it not
mere BETTING our American, progressive,
ChristaniZed civilization to make reformation
the first point to be aimed at The very singu-
lar circumstances attending the case of Thomas
Thorn were then mentioned. Here is man
who was convicted of a capital crime, who went
into the State prison about thirty years ago,
young, ignorant and inexperienced. Behaving
well on the moral plane, from the hour of his
incarceration, there obtaining an education and
trade; and lastly under the means of grace
vouchsaved to him in the prison cell, he be-
comes convicted of his great sin, then convert
ed through the all Astounding mercy of Our
Heavenly Father; and there he endures long
term OF discipline in which he gave satisfactory
evidence of a regenerated heart. Is not this
case where onr ideas of practical Christian prn-
ciples should be applied If it were ever right
to take the life of a human being judicially,
should not this be one where his life should be
spared, and he receive pardon, as he has, on the
same principle that we ask and hope to receive
pardon for lesser sins from Our Creator. This
was the substance of the sermon, although sew
eral other points were touched upon.
