FREE STREET CHURCH.
AT the morning service yesterday, the pastor
preached sermon on the voluntary rejection
of the truths of the gospel" choosing his text
from Plains 8; 4, ''They are like the deaf
adder that stoppeth her ear"
DIR. Small began by remarking this as being
striking incident of voluntary refusal 10 near
the gospel. These are no peculiar people that
are referred to here, for the Psalms speak OF
people in general Without the gospel men 90
not know what is grandest and highest, IN
themselves This world is the field and lie
the opportunity Though man may amass un-
limited fortunes, if he fails IN this one partlcu-
lar. his life is an utter failure. How many
here bear testimony budb uh1ii oiiCy gave ohCu-
selves to Christ they only half lived. The Cos
pel opens to man the highest promotion. The
wedding to which the King invited SO many
guests, was grand affair, but those had invi-
tations merely made light OF them Christ has
prepared everything and now you are invited.
They turned deaf ear and scorned the high
promotion that was offered. You are receiving
a still greater invitation, and will you likewise
make light of it? The church itself is the
bride, Christians alone are only guests, but TAX
en- together they compose the beautiful bride.
The Bible appears assuring proofs that these
are truths Can there be anything more GER
tain? The Inconsistency Of some protested
Christians, may lead others to make light of
religious things -aHs
This text discloses the fact that they were
not prevented from hearing, but they closed
that should be believing, is making light of
these truths. Shall it be that any of shall
be like the deaf adder, that will not listen to
the charmer, charming ever SO loud.

EVERYBODY TO BLAME.-Saturday evening
about nine o'clock as Mr. Fred Nixon, young
man who had been INDUCING himself in liquor
was walking up Congress street he was accosted
by some fellows pear the corner of Green
street, who asked him why he got so drunk.
An angry reply was given, and after some
sharp discussion Nixon struck young man
named rockingham a sharp blow over the eye.
Thereupen the crowd fell upon hhim and began
to beat him. At this moment his brother, Mr..
Edward Nixon, appeared and attempted to res
cue him. Meeting with i'll success Mr. Edward
Nixon very reluctantly drew his revolver. At
this the crowd gave way, and he took his
brother and accompanied him home. Shortly
after the trouble Marshal Parker ard officer
Hanson summoned the two brothers to the
police station. They were released on con-
dition that they appear at the Municipal Court
tomorrow morning 1t would appear that
Mr.. E. Nixon was hunting for his brother with

treble occurred between the crew and the sec

day the men were paid off and discharged.
Early in the evening some of the crew went
down to the vessel for the purpose of raising
row with the mate. They dared him to come
on to the wharf, and he being no coward, step
ped out upon the what, when they pitched into
him. Rich would have whipped the whole
crowd but for the fact that one of the crew
drew his knife and slashed into the mate cut
ting him terribly on the arm, face and head

ed by the heat and the rain, listened to an ear
nest and able discourse by the pastor, Rev. DR..
Smaller, from Job, 81, Z: s'Wherfore do the
wicked live etc. The speaker remarked, in
opening, upon the mystery surrounding the
character and providences of God, and the per-
plexites which attend even the righteous in at
tempting to understand them. The text is an
expression of such a perplexity. 1t is known
that God loves purity and holiness; and yet we
often see the good in poverty and want, while
the vile and the wicked are prospered and
blessed-so we are tempted to ask, with Job
"wherefore?" Some of the reasons where
FORE may be drawn from the words of the BIZ
BILE, and the economy of the universe. We an
swer then that the wicked live, LIST, That the
character and attributes of God may be re-
vealed. Some of his attributes could only be
thus displayed; the patience, the compassion,
the mercy, the love of God are best revealed
in the life of the wicked. He would have us
know that he can be just, and yet the justifier
of those that believe in;his love. I'd, That the
wicked may have space for repentance, and
that some of them may be redeemed to give
Him praise and glory forever All the pious
on earth, and all the ramsomed IN heaven are
gathered from among the wicked Sd, That the
Wicked NAV be used as instruments for the dis
cipipe of the righteous. God has trials Tor HIS
children to endure, discipline for them to pass,
culture for them to receive, and for these ends
the wicked are Gods instruments. The virtues
of His children are brighter, their progress
more earnest, their graces more permanent ana
abiding through the presence Of the wicked IN
the world.
AS a practical lesson from our subject we
learn that the righteous should be watchtul to
receive and improve upon this training. thus
may christian character be developed and chris
tian usefulness be secured. The wicked also
should never lose sight of the fact that they
are suffered to live that they may have space
for repentance. They should be earnest to i'm
nroye the merciful, heaven-bestowed opportu-
nifty.
INDIA STREET UNIvERsALIsT CHURCH.
The pastor, Rev. Geo. W. Bicknell, preached
yesterday morning from the words IN Luke, IL,
3lst; HE passed by on the other side" draw
ing the general lesson that we are never to
eyade duty because it may be unpleasant or
inconvenlent to discharge it, but always TO
meet it manfully. He said that human nature
was just the same now as In years gone by, and
the tendency to shift responsibility and disa-
greeable duties from our own shoulders upon
others, was as manifest now as when the priest
and Levite passed by on the other side. He
illustrated this affirmation by pointed refer
ences to various relations of life. Popularity
