An INrExEsiNG DIsCOUxsE.

On Sunday evening the Rev. J. Me-
Claim, of the Presbyterian Church,
preached an instructive sermon, show
ing ll,G influence of Christianity on
the civilization Of the world as COM
pared to that of Brihminism and Mo-
hammedism. According 10 the Brah-
minical belief all nature is part of God,
and at death, the soul of man returns
to its creator, and enters in'o union
with him. Under this teaching tho
iindoOS regard the present life II
its responsibilities as of little account.
They have therefore no ambition to en-
eel III the arts AMI sciences of civ.liza-
lion, and there is nothing in their re-
ligion to call forth a spirit of brother
~ love and hopeiulness toward their
Iellow-men. The followers ri Mo
BANNED, while believing in II Di-
Vile Being AS the author OF all good,
are taught that if they fall in battle un-
dcrtaken for the propagation of their
faith, they are sure OF Il heavenly re-
ward. This has made them ianatical
warriors and Il scourge to that portion
of the earth they have been able to
conquer. The prosecuting spirit by
which they are controlled belongs to y
harbaric age, and is proving fatal to
the system OF religion OF which they
are the bigoted followers.
Thu founder of Christianity APP
pcared on the confluence of three civil
Iiza,ioIis, the Jewish, the Greek and
the Roman. lie canie in poverty, and
alike by his teaching and example he
dignitied labor, and set IL true value on
moral character. The religion he estab-
i>Iied depends for its success on moral
suasion AMI educational enlighten-
mont; it seeks to raise man in The So
cial and intellectual scale, and to pro-
mote bro.herly love and universal
peace. While false religions must in
cvitably disappear, Christianity shall
certainly extend its benignant sway,
until the whole is bright under its
peaceful and loving influence.
