offices. The discourse was opened by the state
ment that what often seems most inexpedient to
us Is the very thing which best for In the
sight OF Goo. Apparently 1t was impossible that
life should nave for these disciples greater dis

FIRST REFORMED EPISCOPAL CHURCH.

The Truth Percetved-The Truth Appro-
prfated-The Truth EHcacious.
The First Reformed Episcopal church was well
attended yesterday morning The rector. the
Rev. VIM. I. Sabine, preached an effective sermon,
taking for his text, Jeremiah. xv., l6-'Thy words
were found and did eat them and Thy Word was
unto me the Joy and rejoicing OF nay heart, Tor
am called by Thy name, o Lord God of Hosts" The
prophet Is looking back to opportunities he had
possessed, and ne traces the Improvement OF his
opportunities to the glorious and blessed results,
no less result than the Joy and rejoicing OF his
heart.
This rejoicing Of the heart this abiding satistac-
tion, is what all men desire This is the object OF
the most eager pursuit They may differ as 10 the
method OF obtaining them, but as 10 the ultimate
emo they are entirely agreed; they seek what they
suppose Will afford them lasting qualification.
Now jeremiah the prophet appears before us In
the light OF man VINO has obtained a true heart

may be saved. Let US ponder well on the service
OF the Lord. You who would find rea! prosperity.

Life has no grief that the blessed Saviour can

one of JOY. Surely soul saved should proclaim It's
everlasting Joy. The JOY OF earth is transient but
the joy OF heaven IS calm, quiet steady MONDAY

ST. JOHN THE EVANGELIST.
Sermon by the Rev. Frank Hal1am, of
Georgia-Bishop Smith of Kentucky
Upon the Coming General Convention.

Sermon by the Rev. Frank HalIam, of
Georgia-Bishop Smith of Kentucky
Upon the Coming General Convention.
The Rev. Frank Halam, OF the diocese OF Georgia,
who has been officiating at ST. John the Evan
gelist's (memoral 10 Bishop Wainwright) during
the absence OF the Rector, the Rev. w. I. Egbert,
preached here for the last time yesterday, in the
morning upon "Mlchael contendng with the devil
about the body OF Moses, " and in the evening upon
"Tne Christian Race"
Ia the morning he took his text from sJudeu
ninth verse. 'The Lord Rebuke Thee.- There
was belief, said the reverend gentle
man, among the Jews that God had
created Moses for the special purpose of
taking the people into the promised
land 1t was also the design OF the Lord that the
place OF sepulture or the great Hebrew leader
should not be known, while the devil endeavored
for his own purposes that 1t should become
known. In the combat which ensued between
Michael and the devil the angel would not take it
upon himself to punish the devil, but appealed TO
God to do it, saying to him. 'rhe Lord rebuke tneer
conscious, as he was, that in the hands OF the
Lord alone lay the power and privilege OF Judgment
for the offence. The lesson which TINS teaches us is
that we should suppress our own power of Judg-
ment and accusation against our fellow men, and
not be hasty in taking the privilege we may have OF
casting the stone at those who nave sinned.
We may be in such relations to the party SHINING
that we ieel It our duty to be the one to pass the
judgment. You may see dear brethren, tLat Judg-
ment requires an end-an execution must take
place. How Is 1t possible lor US 10 execute on our
brethren II judgment has an execution We nave
little right 10 nope Tor mercy ourselves. Is IL pos
sbe Tor us to Judge OF the motive OF others and to
make our minds up on what may be. after all, only
an exterior sembance, with much hidden from
our sight so that we have possible right to pass
judgment IN our MINDS upon others when we need
so much allowance ourselves The moral pertec-
tion OF others is something we have nothing TO do
WIN. We must nave divine sanction lor
tnat. "Who are tney tnaJ pass judg-
ment" says the Word. Judge not and We
shall not be judged. 1t is the whole doc
trine In these words. The next thought
IN connection with this text is the question of
spirits Ia the other world If we know so little OF
the Joys and sorrows OF this world, what we
know OF the realities OF unseen things. II we 40
not know the forces tnat are moving the thunder
CLOUDS then the mission OF the angels Is almost a
mystery. StiD we know that where CHRIST was
beaten down, body exhausted and soul weary IN
the desert the angels and ministered TO
Him; again IN the garden they went and consoled
Him. Not only was II given tnat they should bear
up the Son OF Man, but that they should support
