WISDOM " Justthed OF Her Childfcn.b
The Rev. George q. Little, successor to Rev.
Dr.. Doynton, preached yesterday morning to q
large AMI interesting congregation at this
church. His sermon was based On Matthew, xl:i9,
"WisdOm Ia Justified OF her children" The
divine wisdom that prepared the way for Christ
now offers itself to the world for its Judgment
and app rova and could II have the sincere and
Impartial judgment Of the world II would speedily
secure an approval. The world Ia never ready
to conform 10 the views which tho gospel pre-
sents. Christ's accusation IL verified In the
worlds contradictory criticisms OF Christianity,
The followers Of the gospel have to live lust ns
other people live.
. II religion has tho power to make the heart
happy, IL ought to show Itself on the face, and
make the dress to correspond In the choice of
coiors. Suspicion Is ct once aroused against
Christians when they have tastes like the world.
The same contradictory criticisms are made on
the moral life OF Christian as on his p.thettc
life. When the slmple gospel plan Is preached
the most opposition comes from those who are
the most moral, and such are generally the last
to accept the plan Of salvation. The gospel, n
taken at all, must be taken as q gift, and The
only requisite preparation for the gospel Is to
feel the need oft.
The singing OF the congregation, led by the
excellent choir, was commendablo feature Of
