The Birth OF the Christian Church

The other themes, "Et resurrextt" "Et

After the first Gospel OF the hign mass the Rev.
Father McCauley preached from the Gospel OF the
propagation OF Chrlst's kingdom on eartn. In the
days Gospel our LORD compares the Church to
GRAIN or MUSTARD SEED.
which Is, He tells us, the smallest OF all seeds,
ana from which ascends tree, in the branches
q true and beautiful neure is this Of the humble
beginning and propagation OF the CHRISTIAN
Church. Asw we consider the tiny mustard seea,
which the slightest breath may blow out OF sight,
and behold so small ana Insignificant an object
develop into large tree with far outstretching
branches. the wonderful result exctes our admi-
ration.
Like it, the Church was insignificant and
humble In Its birth. Like the first creation, IL
sprung from nothing. Its Founder was born in q
stable, then driven into exile, led life OF poverty
and reproach and suffering. and died as repured
maefactor, nailed to q cross. His disciples we're,
without an exception, poor and iliterate, and the
first converts generally OF the humblest class ana
their preaching opposed TO all the wisdom elo-
quence and power OF rhe world; yet tnat grain OF
snread,nr far and VIDE and sneserina the diver,
ent nations OF the earth beneath It's branches.
Within quarter OF century from the death Of
our Lord the Gospel was generally difused
throughout the vast Roman Empire and the
tidings OF faith told throughout the whole civilized
world. This rapid propagation of the Church Is
strong proof Of its divine origin.

Sermon by Bishop Holley, Of Hayti-
Mans Insumciency Without God.
ST. Philips church was crowded last night by
the colored population OF our city and large
number OF white people, to listen to the farewell
sermon OF Bishop Holley Of Hayti. Bishop Horey
Ia the first colored bishop OF the Protestant Epls-
copal Church ever ordained In this country. He Is
. native Of Hayti and in every respect most In
telligent man. he is well educated, speaking
nuenty the French language, and under
standing English perfectly. In color the
Bishop Is rather light, with benevolent face and
q finely moulded head. lie seemed thoroughly TO
understand the high calling ne had entered upon,
and as far as one might judge, was just the man
to sway his In the island that he is to preside
over. The Bishop took his text from H. Corinthians
parts OF several verses :--"Who Is sui1lclent for
these thlngsr' sour suficlency is OF God.n
"Tnen am weak, then am strong.n
The theme OF MS discourse was that the law OF
God was SO much higher than man could compre-
ne1d .oa thas required an interp5sssr
He had united His life to ours in
and without Him we could do nothing. There
was no grace for man except through Christ
Jesus. And de had told us plainly that God WAS
absolutely necessary In all our undertakings. We
could conquer nothing without faith In Him. The
Bishop pointed ou, clearly, then, how necessary 1t
was tnat we love and serve and lear the Father,
and try to come to Him through His Son, who re.
deemed the world. We should at all times have
Christ on our side, and
THEN WE NEED FEAR NOTHING
Jesus Christ alone had fulfilled the laws OF God,
and IL was our duty 70 follow closely In His foot
steps as our weak and sinful natures would
permit.
The Bishop closed his sermon by o beautiful and
pathetic appeal to all present 70 love God With all
their strength, and, taking Christ for their exam.

for our sake that we might live; let US learn from
Him and pattern after Him, that we might fnaliy

asked that the congregation might remember him
when he was far away, and pray that God would
give him strength TO do his duty.

Rev. DR.. Bellows Upon tho Old Law

The Rev. Dr.. Bellows preached yesterday morn

iii, 1l-l4-"For II that which is done away
was glorious, much more that which remalneth
Is glorious. Seeing then that we have such
hope. we use great plainness OF speech: And
not as Moses, which put veil over his face, that
the children Of Israel could not steadfastly look to
the end Of that which is abolished. But their
minds were blinded; for until this day remaineth
the same veil untaken away in the reading Of the
OLD Testament, which vail Is done away in Christ"
The reverend DoVor said that God had tenderly
and fatherly let US know here through Paul the
fate OF the Old dispensation, and He had spoken
In unmist akable terms OF the future OF the new
order OF things. The old order OF things had
been glorious, but was now superseded by a new,
which was infinitely more so. primary school is
glorious, because IL Is necessary preparation for
the academy, which was in turn glorious but only
awaiting the better step Of collegiate lie. SO was

Now the nature OF God for instance, is one OF
those mysterious lndennables which one may
challenge. and even to the word everlasting,
when applied to punishment, we may doubt It's

words spoken that words which have long since
changed their meaning are taken by some TO mean

rative Discourse by Rev. DR.. Porter.
The Twenty-nfth anniversary OF the Bedford
avenue Reformed church, in Brooklyn, was cele-
brated yesterday. Rev. 4. s. Porter, the esteemed
and able pastor, preached an eloquent discourse
appropriate to the interesting OCCASION His text
was taken from l. corinthians, w., 2o-"For the
kingdom OF GOO is not in word, but In power" In
his opening remarks he said that the Greeks were
great lovers OF the art which may be displayed In
speech. They found In mere rhetoric charm for
their refined tastes. They were keenly alive to
the subtle spirit Of eloquence In poetry they dis
cerned semi-divine force to which their sensibili
ties moved as readily as leaves TO summer winds.
But above all, the Greek mind delighted IN
the mysteries and labyrinths Of philosophy The
various chiefs OF the several schools, Platonic,
Aristotelan or Stole, each had many disciples,
who we're ever attempting to solve the problem OF
human destiny by abstruse and abstract REASON
ing. The result was weakness, confusion and
doubt. Paul was unwilling TO have the Gospel
classified among the popular PHILOSOPHERS taught
by the Sophists In ell the chief centres OF ancient
civilization. There were not few even In Athens.
