tinn Church.
The pulpit of the willett street Methodist Epis-
Copal church yesterday filled by Rev. DR..
Daily, delegate to the General Conference and
Presiding Elder Of Louisiana, who preached an
eloquent discourse upon the suffering, lo1lincss
and glory of Jesus The earnest old elder took for
his text Isaiah, kill, -
Who is this that cometh from Edom. with dyed
garments ron Bozah ,hi, that Is g,orios in his
speak in righteousness mighty TO save.
DR.. Daily, in opening spoke of the Prophet Isaiah
the evangelist who had better view OF the lat
tcr-day glory OF the Christian Church than any
other, and whose imagery is unexcelled by any in
spired writer. Isaiah saw conquering hero com
ing towards him; he looks out and his attention is
attracted, and he cries out "Who is this conqueror
from Edom travelling in the greatness of his
strength and he hears the response, at is that
speak in righteousness, mighty to save" Edom and
Bozrah are significant. They are not to be con-
sidered arbitrary names. The former signi1ed red
earth so the question is, Who Is this that
CoMETH UP FROM RED EARTH
B0zrah signifies the place OF trbulation and sore
distress. Applying these terms to the hero OF the
text, 1t conveys an idea of the condescension of
Jesus Christ. Christ delivered the world through
the red earth and scenes OF tribulation and sore
distress. He In whom all things are created-the
God Of adoring angels-condescends to come all the
way to Edom, and though He made the world,
sprinkled the heavens with stars and guided the
winds in their listing, He descends from His lofty
estate and becomes the babe Of Mary, in the man
ger What physical condescenson for Christ, who
fab ri lie M al ia
also exemphfed in His life. He becomes man, and
sorrows like unto man, humbled to and obedient
unto death-even the cross. He who was wor-
shipped by seraphim and cherubim, He also was
hungry and thirsty, though He owned the cattle
upon thousand nils marshai!ed 1ne planets OF
upon Himself the form OF man, consented TO be
crucihed as malefactor, and alter leaving all HIS
sorrows and suffer1ngs, He comes up rom Bozran
as u conquering hero, who has triumphed over
death and he'll. How does He conner How comes
THIS SON OF A CARPENTER,
who is houseless and homeess2 He comes travel
ling in the greatness of His strength There is vigor
ia His tread. He comes like hero who mas met
the enemy on the battlefield, and in the greatness
of his strength-whch IL absolute power. He
comes He comes in omnipotent power from the
red EARTH and the place Of distress. Our Christ
your Christ my Christ is not like a worldly hero,
but the omnipotent Jehovah, who
JEwELLED THE HEAVENS WITH STARS,
who carpeted the world In green; the arm OF Jesus
set the stars, the fingers OF this hero wove the
grassy carpets that cover the earth He also comes
In physical and moral strength. He has fortitude
aud love, and it requires these to enable Him to
come from Edom and Bozrah. When sweating
blood in Gehsemane He cries, Father IL 1t be pos
sible, let this cup pass from Men-if the world can
be saved without IT.. See the triumph or his love-
Nevertheless, not Ny will, but Thy viii be done"
1t took orttude to do that to pay the debt on the
cross that mans atonement might be complete.
The minister passed to the consideration Of the
would have accomplished nothing by crossing and
recrossing the Delaware. 1t was the boys at his
back with rifle and canteen that gave him relative
strength. So Christ has relative strength lie has
friends az His back that came up with Him from
DoA''n' THAT that ARR ARMY y OF THE HEAVENLY HOST
that the Revelator saw-the soldiers ofJesus onwhite
horses and clothed in white linen. The elder pro-
ceeded to show that God never saves man but by
man himself. God could send an angel to preach
the Word, and put to night the legions OF the
devil; but He has chosen TO make every Church
member preacher He saves man by man. The
Doctor wildly pictured the terror OF Wellington
when he saw the French moving aown ms columns,
