AFTERNOON.
At r. N. Rev Lawson, Of Wheeling,
preached an able sermon from the words,
And in that day there shall DO q root OF
Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign
OF the people; 70 Il shall the Gentiles seek;
and his rest shall be glorious"
The theme was the redemption Of the
human family through the sacrifice Of
Christ. The speaker in his introductory
remarks spoke Of the creation. After all
was made but man, God seemed TO have
called 10 his counsel the whole Trinity,
and said
LIT Us MAKE MAN
Hegave him access 10 all the trees but one,
the tree Of knowledge Of good and evil
There was harmony In all nature, and man
could go into the forest and smooth the
Lions mane-birds would light on his
Shoulders-hO could go TO the shore Of the
rivulet and play with the tlnny tribes;
but alter the iall nature was derAnged.
The lion would growl and retreat into the
forest as much as TO say
f YOU DID IT.
The birds, nSh, &C., would flee from his |
presence. Man was ruined. What could |
save him? II was necessary for God TO |
DO incarnated In flesh to redeem man
from bis fallen state. The sermon was
listened to with marked attention. At
81 o'clock
DIR. REILLY, OF FOURTH STREET,
in the pulpit, announcing for
bis text the 10Th and llth verses OF the |
Let chapter OF the epistle Of Peter. Re-
1emptioR is heavens great master piece.
The theme Of the text is "the suffering
and gloh6ed Christ" God has put en-
nifty between the seed Of the woman and |
the serpent, &C.
From this he went to the sacrifice, de-
scribing elaborately and touchlngly AbrS.
ham offering up Isaac From this he
passed on to notice OhriSt's sacrihcial
death. lst. Chrtst's offering was volun-
tary. ID. II was substitutionSTy. Here
he depicted the scene Of Calvary. Hav-
ing to leave before the sermon was con-
cluded we cannot give as extensive an
outline Oft as We could wish. Ina word,
1t was good. ...h, 2, ',@ !
