PLYMOUTH CHURCH.

A Sermon by DR.. Eddy "Living
Christia nity''-The Place and the Mis-
sion of the Belicver-Thc World Needs
n Live Testimony for Christ-Thc 'sNew
York Herald" as a Preacher of Chris-
tianity-A Rebuke to the Methodist
Church by One Of Its Ministers.
DR.. Eddy preached again in Plymouth church
yesterday morning to much larger congregation
than is generally present during the vacation OF
Mr. Beecher. The sermon was very powerful,
pointed and practical discourse on Living Chris
tianity," founded on the following text:-John
xvii, 1s-"As thou has sent Me into the world,
even so have also sent them into the world.n Tho
introduction was a sketch OF the law OF subordna-
ton as manifested In the divine economy Of
God. Christ came into the world as the ncarna-
ton of divinity and He sends now His Church into
the world as the manifestation Of that divinity.
DR.. Eddy then passed to q narrower illustration OF
the subject, and announced the main subject for
the morning hour as the place and the mission of
the believer. The place was the world the mis-
sion was to represent Christ in the world. Christ
has sent forth His believers into the world. We
are placed In the world amid Its Conflicts its sor-
rows, its joys. The world In which the American
Christian Is placed IL q world upon which social
and political duties are incumbent upon MIN. Cod
had placed them in our hands, and we could not as
sign them to others; we could not assign them to
CAUCUS
or TO any mapnatc We are as much called upon
to gorify God In these duties az in any OF the more
immediate spiritual acts OF Lille. II is to the
'front.' that God assigns Christians. IL lie the power
OF Christian sentiment 1t is the power OF Christian
men, in this country, that Is to undo the dire con-
sequences OF moral corruption that is stalking
forth In every land IL is In the power OF these
Christian men TO crush 1t out in a single hour God
has sent iorth Christian men to do 1t,
and He will hold them responsible for 1t.
This power must be felt in every commercial
activity. man who has business capacity cannot
glorify God more than in his business pursuits. IL
has been shouted by thousand tongues that the
votares OF business have been false to the pre-
ccpts OF Christianity. There Is no power that ex-
cents honor and suspends morals In the Bible. The

WEST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

Tho Rov. DR.. Jonathan Edwards on
Salvation.
The pulpit OF the West Presbyterian church, on
Forty econd street, was filled yesterday morning
BY tho Rev. Jonathan Edwards, d. D., OF Peoria,
Ill. lie took for his text Isaiah W. 6-"seek ye the
Lord whilst ne may be foundn The speaker said
that he did not propose to enter into any formal
discussion Of the subject. In the text we have in
dicated clearly the sinners condition. We ''seck'
for that which we have not. We call upon those from
whom we are separated. The good actions OF Sin
ners are deeds Of wckednees. The sinner will not
fOrsake his way until he realizes his condition What
constitutes the main feature oil experimental piety
and what IL the true theory OF religion alters
OF grave quandary to many who desire to begin in
creed nor the ordinances, not penance nor tasting
nor the example Of the great or good, hut the
Lord. Forsaktng forever ones sinful ways and
encctually saved. Whatsoever Is not of
sin IL faith. Faith which works by love
soon works redemption. Again, notice the
sinners opportunity lie is lost and known to all
Us wicked-man and yet there Ia an opportunity
Afforded OF thorough reformation n the advice or
the text be followed. How far-reachng, then,
must be the power of Cod There are oppor-
occur again. The sinner runs no risk In making
an unconditional surrender to the Almighty, Tor
the Lord Will ahundantly pardon. In saving the
soul God hath OutdOne all His mightiest works.
The sinner should then seize his opportunity, for
1t may never return. For years and years many
go on putting OF the call OF the Lord within their
hearts, Offering them the salvation OF their souls.
