Second NAVY Ysrd) Baptist Church.

The services at this church yesterday were of a
very interesting character as indeed, they always
are. The text selected by the pastor, the Rev. Mr.
1ngersoIl, was John, 10: al am come that they
might have life, and thatthey might have it more
abundantly." The subject was announced as
THE LIFE IN JESUS.
All men, said the preacher, were rebels against
God. The business of the whole world seems to
be to kill. The spider kills the fly, the bird the
spd Kills T his brother man. and the devil III is he
incarnation Of death. But Christ came that the
dead should be quickened, and that in the world
to come they should drink of the waters of life
forever. He is the author and the hnisher, the
beginning and the end of life, The wrath of
man. of the law, he withstood and counted not
the cost.
The life we now live we live in Christ, our Re-
deemer, our king, our friend. Life in the Lord
Jesus is more abundant than that given in Adam,
wonderful and glorious as that was. There was
grace in that life. That in Christ Jesus is the
beginning Of the life which cannot be taken away.
the blessings we shall finally receive through
Christ. They will be given in when we shall be
ft to receive them. Life in Christ is more abun-
Offer-than stock. than gold, than the wine.cup
than the hilarity and revelry Of men; better than
the life Of kings, who dispense honors and re-
wards and punishnents to men.
1t is better, 1t is more abundant than the lite Of
angels. What can be imagined more abundant
than this life? The ancients had the dawn, we
have the broad, bright day; they had types and
figures, we have the grace Of God. But what are
we that we have this2 Are we abundant In faith,
in love, like John; in zeal, like Paul? If we want
more abundant life, we must get nearer to Christ
and make ourselves more like him.
The preacher forcibly contrasted the eagerness
with which we cling to this merely earthly life
with the Indifference We manifest to the more
abundant and more glorious life in Christ.
No abstract can do justice TO this Impressive
and eloquent effort Of Mr.. Ingersoll-to his free
and yet judicious employment Of Illustrations
drawn from all sources, the distinctness with
stancy with which the subject was kept promi-
nently and clearly in the minds of his hearers.

finely rendered, and the effective manner in

attractiveness of the service.

A "Reminiscences Of the Indian Mutiny.

lfrCm the LONDON Times.
A case which recently came before the High
Court at Calcutta recalls some of the earlier hor.
rors of the Indian mutiny. During the months
Of June and July, 1857, the Twelfth Irregular
Cavalry, which had been raised and was COM
manded by Major Holmes, took an active part in
the preservation of peace in North Behsr, and
enjoyed the confidence Of its commander. But
one evening, as Major Holmes and his wife were
driving in q buggy some three or four miles from
the lines, they saw Dahl Khan, the duffadar Of
the regiment, and four or I'VE troopers ride up.
The Major asked them why they were there and
armed, instead of attending to their duty. The
duffadar answered with some foul abuse, and,
with the assistance of the troopers, murdered his
commanding oficer and Mrs. Holmes, cutting of
both their heads. The head and body Of the
lady were thrown inte ditch, as was also the
body Of her husband. His head, however, was
played to the regiment, which was then, with the
exception of some sixty men who remained faith
full marched OF BY Dalil Khan to Lucknow.
After the suppression Of the mutiny Dahl
rently, that eighteen years had suficed to efface
the memory Of bis crime, he lately ventured to
return to his native village. He was recognised,
arrested and tried. All the witnesses were still
alive, and their tales corresponded exactly with
the stories told By them at preliminary inquiry
held while the affair yet fresh in their minds.
An old woman had been spoken to by Mrs.
Holmes, few minutes before the murderers rode
up, and she gave O most graphic description Of
the tragedy. The Judge Of Sarun sentenced the
prisoner to death, and when the case came up to
the High Court for confirmation, which the In
dian code requires for capital sentences, there
could be no doubt for hesitation. The evidence
was clear, and, in the words of the presiding
nothing short of the extreme penalty Of the law
would Satisfy the ends Of justice"

A Train Of Evils.

If weakness Of the stomach is allowed
to become chronic, the following evils su-
pervene-Digestion is permanently i'm
paired, the system is imperiectly nourish
ed, the blood becomes thin and watery,
the bile being unemployed for digestive
and evacuatve purposes, enters the circu-
lation through the thoracic duct, and
injects itself into the superficial vessels,
giving to the skin and whites of the eyes
the saffron tinge indicative of biliousness.
Headache, nausea, constipation, pains in
the side, palptations, heartburn, dizziness
and many other harrassing symptoms
which accompany the arrangement
above described, which if unchecked is as
sure to be followed by serious disease, as
the rising of the sun by its setting. 1t is
manifest, therefore, that an inability of
the stomach to act upon the food should
be overcome without delay. The invigor-
ating influence upon that organ of Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters is speedily felt in the
disappearance Of all the disagreeable
symptoms alluded to. The prescribed
mineral remedies for general debility
usually fail to achieve any lasting result,
because they do not invigorate the stom-
ach ; Hostetter's Bitters always succeed,
because that is their primal effect. The
very fact that they are such an excellent
stomachic constitutes them one Of the
best general tonics in existence. To re-
store digestion is the final step toward the
recovery of health, when impaired by any
of the multiIarious complaints which
spring from dyspepsia, and that step will
be found to have been taken by the inval-
id who has availed himselfof this famous
anti dyspeptic remedy.
