Jesus Love-sermon OF the Rev. o. b.
FrOthingham.
The congregation at Lyric Hall yesterday morn.
ing In consequence OF the beakness OF the weather,
was not so large as usual. AS is very often the
case, Mr.. rockingham took no tex, from the
Bible, but chose for his subject, "Jcsus' love-"
Lot US weigh this word, love, he began. In Jesus
vocabulary 1t was printed in large capital letters,
minds. All that He dreamed was compressed into
that little word OF four letters. Among the old
Hebrews there was dream called the year Of ju-
bilee. Every ffty-eight years, It Ia written,
there was to come year called the
YEAR OF GOD
On that year all slaves were to DC set free, all
lands returned to the original owners, all debts
cancelled, all men equalized. This was q superb
dream, and Jesus believed In 1t with all His heart.
Jesus believed In the entire reconstruction Of the
world and that the perfect state OF man on the
planet would come. Men are as far from that
state now as they were then. He was completely
absorbed in equalizing conditions, that would i'm
prove all men, Notice the principle upon which He
chose His disciples There was not cultivated,
rich or great man among them What He wanted
was hearts and unprejudced minds, not
PEARLS AND DIAMONDS,
that would not run together. He did not assume
was because he was leader. Jesus did not insist
upon any belief in His divinity or infallibity. He
did Insist upon sympathy. The Pharisee was
pattern Churchman, and kept all the laws with
strict conscience. He was exceedingly fastidious,
and there the sin lay. Everyone that was not as
religious as himself was heather and an outcast.
He hated everyone who did not believe In his pre-
else ideas. He was a man who loved religion so
much that he hated nearly all his fellow creatures.
He was bundle OF prejudices, O

the floor in front OF Him. She had sinned deeply,
but she had abused and hated no one. She cast no

Gus men who had brought her there. She said moth

CHURCH OF THE PAUL1sT FATHERS.

A Charity Lecture by tho Rev. j. L.
Spaulding, Nephew to the Late Pri-
mate-Subjcct, st. Columbia, q Type OF
the Irish Characteristic Birth and
Career One OF the Greatest Christian
Apostles.
The Rev. J. l.. Spauldng, nephew to the late
Archbishop Spaulding, lectured last evening at the
Church OF the Paulist Congregation to a crowded
and intelligent audience, taking for his subject
"st. Columbia, Type Of the Irish Character" In
the sanctuary were the Very Rev. J. T. Hecker,
Superior OF the Religious Community, together
with all the priests and students Of his order.
The reverend lecturer opened his subject
by stating the birthplace Of the great Irish
saint as Donegal, and the date Of his nativity
as the middle of the fifth century. In
brief condensation Of the reverend lecturers
discourse, 1t would be almost impossible to do
justice to the great talents in Oratory and
power OF thought and research which he evinced
throughout showing at least complete knowl
edge Of his subject and meriting In his effort
comparison with the manifold and brilliant essays
In his early manhood st. COLUMBIA gave his mind
to study. He employed himself also copying manu-
scripts. Having claimed one OF these manuscripts
as his own production, he was reprimanded by the
abbot OF his monastery sent afterwards to Iona,
in Scotland, where he founded 300 monasteries. In
the love which he always cherished for his native
land and the answering zeal which he exercised in
the propagation OF the fith ST. Columbia truly repre-
sented the irish character Through the exertions
OF him and his followers England and Scotland may
be said to have been reduced to Christianity-nay
almost all the nations Of Europe With those SEN
tments Of religion he cherished in the depth OF his
soul, most ardent love for ireland, and not un-
frequently prayed for her prosperity and attach
ment TO the faith. BY his influence this love OF re-
hgion and country was implanted, as It were, in
the Irish heart, until the whole people became, as
1t were a missionary people, and have shown at
all times such characteristics as st. COLUMBIA was
known to possess.
The reverend gentleman then defended the char
acter of the monks of the Middle Ages. They
crushed paganism and introduced Christianity.
They kept alive the spirit OF the apostles when q
prosecuting world would fain destroy II. The
reverend gentleman closed his lecture by referring
to the Church in America, and kept his audience
spell-bound throughout.

take place In the hearts OF the people.

Sermon by the Rev. II. w. Bellows
The Coming OF the Messiah.

Sermon by the Rev. II. w. Bellows
The Coming OF the Messiah.
Rev. Dr.. Bellows preached sermon last evening
In All Souls church, taking for his text the passage
from Haggai, "And the desire OF all nations shall
come" He began by showing with what earnest
ness the Messiah was onged for by the world for the
centuries Immediately preceding his advent. Among
the Jews, OF course, this feeling was exceptionally
strong and fervent, and the inspired prophets
spoke out the desire of the chosen people with o
fire and eoquence that were singularly significant.
But between the last of the prophets and the
COMING OF CHRIST
there was an interval of several hundred years,
during which, not only among the Jews but among
all nations, the longing for the Messiah grew even
de eper and more earnest. True, 1t was expressed
IN W ords by
THE HIGHEST AND BEST MINDS
among the ancients-such men as Plato and Soc
rates among the Greeks, and Virgil and Cicero
amo ng the Romans-but the masses OF mankind
were necessarily always behind the noblest deyel-
op ments OF their age. DR.. Bellows then proceeded
to show that the Messiah only came when His want
had thus been clearly made manifest to men. ana
that He would have come before ifmen had really de-
sired Him. This waiting and anticipation had been
the moral education OF the word for His coming.
Even when He did come the world was barely
ready for him. and 1t was only glorious minority
OF the race for whom they had yearned so eagerly.
Had He then appeared sooner His message
would not have been heard at all. And
had 1t been heard even now by the majority OF
mankind2 Had Christ been born indeed, for the
sadly larger portion Of the human race; His name
FAMILIARITY
with them had seemed to produce its usual cOnse-
quence OF Indifference and apathy Christ would,
however really be BORN for us, In the beauty and
sweetness OF His love, In the power and plenitude
OF His truth, IL strOve to copy His life ana make
ourselves the living temples oil His holiness Thus
for us the morrow or Wednesday might be made
not alone the celebration OF Christs BIRTH but His
birthday indeed with all Its blessed associations
OF peace and good Will, OF pardon and redemption
