DR.. Chaplin preached at his church, corner or
Fortyf street and Fifth avenue, yesterday
morning, on the subject OF the Boston fire and
other disasters which have recently visited our
country, taking for his text Job ", 6:-"Although
aflliction cometh not forth Of the dust, nor doth

The book OF Job, said the reverend gentleman, Is

business and the bosoms OF mankind, narrative
OF troubles and sorrows that came troopng toward
him and his household thicker than they could be
told. In studying 1t one sits down to ponder over
THE MYSTERY OF EVIL.
There have been many troubles and disasters
since the day Of job but from each and all OF them
has sprung this question Of the mystery OF evil.
or one thing only we arc certain In all the great
caamities that befall us, in the daily recurring
changes of nature, there Is no chance work. There
is no chance incident anywhere. The opposite
conclusion, II accepted, must imply an atheistlcal
belief Then there must be intention ana In the
intention OF the Providence that produces
calamities lies the mystery Of evil. Anllction
cometh not forth from the dust, neither doth
trouble spring out OF the ground These words OF

Last evening the pastor Of the Methodist Episco-
pal church in Second street, the Rev. Henry Aston
delivered an address upon "The Election, its Re-
suits and Lessons.n The learned and fluent
speaker commenced his Grafton by commenting
upon the uncertainty OF all things mundane. He
elucidated in manner worthy OF the
highest commentator the mysteries and
science Of "voting," and then drew clear
deduction by which all men may learn and become
wise. 1t was one thing, said the preacher. to have
sympathies, doubts and tenets; it was another to
believe implicitly. We may have faith and conf
dence in man, may be fully willing to uphold him,

The Power of EnIth In Christ.

The Power Of Faith In Christ.
The Rev. w. II. Cudworth, Of Boston, preached
yesterday morning in the Church Of the Messiah,
taking for his text the exclamation ofPeter, when
for want OF faith, he was on the point of sinking
beneath the waves of the Sea OF Galee, "He Up,
Lord, or perish" He began by telling the story
OF this incident OF Peters life. Peter had sprung
overheard from the little vessel, filed with faith in
Jesus. IL was true that he had received an invita-
tion to do so from the Master but SO strong and
exalted W as his faith that lie would probably have
thus displayed his confidence In the
SAVING INFLUENCE
OF Christ even without any special encouragement; ;
but after he had touched the water his faitn evan
shed, and he gave way to the natural terrors Of
his situation. Probably he could not swim, and
overcome with alarm, lie cried out, in the ex
tremity OF his need "Hep, Lord, or perish" Mr..
Cudworth proceeded TO apply this narrative to the
Christian life with mucn force and eloquence.
Many OF u.s. he said, laborcd and groaned and
fretted under o load OF

THE GIST OF THE SERMON
Will be found in the following Summary:-In this
parable our Lord Jesus Christ spoke of the Church
He was about to found He said that at first it
would be like unto the mustard seed. but that In
time it would grow to ponderOus dimensions, and
that all the nations Of the EARTH which are pre-
sented to us as the birds OF the air, would come
and seek shelter under 1t. In the history OF the
Catholic Church we have the realization Of the
parable. At first 1t was small and insignificant; it
was trampled upon by the pagan world; notwith-
standing which IL has strOde to its glorious
manifest destiny, and Is to-day the greatest power
CHRIST WAS THE MUSTARD SEED
or which He himself speaks, and the grand tree
which shelters the birds OF the air Is the Church
which He built upon rock.
The Church, like the plant which generated from
the mustard seed, has been time and again
tramped upon, but still to-day she stands forth
the same solid old ediice against which the gates
OF he'll cannot prevail, and who does not feel the
adverse workings OF men, which are but lmpotent
head winds, which do not impede the progress Of
the noble snip OF Church
The parable has again been realized in this Re-
public Those OF you who have been in this
country for the last twenty or twenty-five years
have witnessed
THE PROGRESS OF THE CHURCH HERE.
At first insignificant and small, it has gradually
grown until now it extends its arms to the most
remote corners OF the land. Those OF you who are
listening to me to-day have but an intimatiOn or
OF what the Church will be in o century from now.
You are the blocks in the ediflce OF the Church.
Stand firm and you will receive the need OF the
just-a blessing which wish you all.

lng earth. The air was cold and the edge OF the
breeze was keen, but the universal sunshine that
was poured down by the generous sun glistened
Through every atom OF atmosphere as Ii it were a
dreamy sea studded with gems. Nature OF course,
was in mourning in the parks OF the city
and on the banks OF her sklrting rivers,
but her funereal garments were of the bright
warm tints OF Autumn, with russell streaks inter-
spersed, and by the Slight snow Of Saturday even
Ing they were frnged with Arctic fur, with deli
cate fakes OF white, that twinkled and blinked in
the sun as did the diamonds that seemed scattered
Dver the pale carpetng Of the earth. The streets
were wet and muddy, but were early filled by the
quiet stream Of church folks upon whose faces the
brightness OF the sky was lightly reflected
in gentle smiles. Briskly they wended their
way toward the solemn portals, while
all the air was animate with the
carollings OF the richtoned bells; but hour later
the streets were almost silent and deserted While
within the sanctided walls Of all the metropolitan
temples there were sounds OF prayer, praise and
preaching. 1t is thus that New York worships,
clad In elegant clothing in pews more finely up
nostered than many OF the homes of the occupants,
while on the morrow the paths OF weary toll and
tired thought or selfish pleasure are trodden by
The worshippers OF to-day, unmindful OF the coming
In the future OF yet another Sabbath. But still
The peace and pensve music OF yesterdays throng
and Of yesterdays church bells not easily dissl-
pated in the memory and Is not without its lasting
effect OF good upon the sin-aden atmosphere OF
