''Grow an Grace. Rev Thos +. Plum.
mer preached in Union NJ +, Church, last
Sunday morning, from the following text
Grow in Grace and the knowledge of our
Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ" The funda-
mental doctrine of our Christianity requires
growth in erase. We must be adding to or
detracting from what we have already re.
ceived There are some persons who do not
appear to recognize this truth. if we may
judge from their action. He desired to
say to those who do not possess more religion
than when they started that they have ne
elected the efforts necessary to continued
growth He thought it better to refer to
present than to past blessings If we have
not grown in grace in the past, it is an en-
couraging reflection that We may begin at
once. There are some persons who appear
to think they have grown in grace so greatly
that they may relax their efforts A great
er mistake was never made-the strong as
well as the weak being liable to fall. He
counselled continued effort, and eulogized
those who have grown old in the cause and
were waiting in hope for the coming of the
Lord. Christians who grow in grace are new
or found absenting themselves from church,
or neglecting the requirements of the gospel.
Those who are just starting in the christian
life may no realize the shoals and rocks which
surround their path, but they must be on
their guard it they do not make shipwreck
of their hopes. He related the experience
OF captain in passing up river, who seize
ted pilot who had been on every shoal and
rock on the ground.tha he knew where they
laid, and therefore would avoid them He
commended the example of the woman who
would not be put off and Christ exclaimed
according to thy faith he it done unto thee.
10 grow in faith, we must also grow in
love-loye that will stand the test Of loss of |
precious possessions, of children and friends. |
In conclusion he remarked that knowledge |
Is just rs important to spiritual as it is to |
mental growth. We must study the word Of |
God daily and hourly, faithfully and care
fully. Too often it was neglected not only |
through the week but on the Sabbath for |
want Of time. He said that in such case |
there should be earlier rising or later retir-
ing. No man is fully qualified for the chris
tan lite without the study of the Scriptures.
By careful reading of the word of God there |
would be revealed what eye has not seen or |
ear heard. The christians who knew and eu-
oyed most on earth, would know and enjoy
most in heaven
Sermon at Union NJ. f, Ckurch.-On SUNDAY
evening, Rev. John Wilson, President of
W Wesleyan Female College, occupied the pull
pit Of Union Methodist Church and deliver
I'd sermon to large and appreciative ad-
Hence, the text being the 2nd chapter of IT. |
JUS, 18th to 18th verse inclusive. The follow.
ng is brief synopsis of his remarks: |, is
TO suppose that each one present
believes in the existence Of God. Such be-
ng the case, person may ask what as sim
ner, is my relation to that God; not, what il |
my relation as creature, because this latter
$ determined by the simple fact of existence.
Sin has disturbed the relations Of kindness,
tenderness and mercy of God. Until the
question is settled, all others are cut of |
place. How may one look up to the Crea-
tor ? As an memorable Judge, will lie execute
Justice; or, may he be regarded as merci-
full redeemer,-as friend If sin had not |
interviewed between the Creator and the boz \
ing, it would be easy to infer the relation we |
sustain to him. But sin has placed the |
whole human race in Il state which is now |
found all over the globe and which has exis- |
ted in all ages. The whole human family |
ly looking out, feeling that there was some- |
thing to be supplied. The greatest event
that has occurred in the history OF man, was |
the giving that light, that help, that deliv- |
er, to which reference is given in the Apps, |
tie Paul. 1t was free gift of God. 1t was
n favor entirely, for grace means favor 1t
was an active favor. 1t was brought not to |
the Jews only, but to all-Christianity it is |
a system ofreligion intended for all, whether |
slave or free, Jew or GENTLE, high or low in |
station Religion is life. That life place |
ed in the human soul, will affect it in all its |
thoughts. The whole teaching of the Apos- |
tie is that we are not only preparing for joys
but for service and fora service for which We
