Rev. Henry M. King of Boston preached
very practical and forcible sermon to a crowded
audience yesterday morning, from Matt. vii, II.
He thought the distinctive popularity of the
christian religion was not in any system of
morality, but in the fact that Christ died to re-
claim and restore lost men. He contrasted the
maxim embodied in the text with heather
maxims, and showed the infinite superiority
OF the christian maxim over the pagan. The
heather teaching was only negative, do moth
ing to Others" and Christs is positive, edo
to others, &C." The injunction of Christ is
the root of all missionary operations. He ap-
piled the text to all classes of society and wish
ed they would adopt IT,
