ward Wright both alluded 10 the great disaster in
their sermons, on Sunday The sermon by DR.
Lord was based upon I Kings, xix, II f; And
after The IRE, a stu, small roice"
After a short introduction upon the fact OF the
constant occurrence Of calamites by storm earth
quakes, and fire, to which men are subject, and
which always unexpected and sometimes trag-
ical and terrible, the preacher at once proceeded
to answer the question, why such fearful calaul-
ity as the which has befallen our village, and
@ Tiers which fall so disastrously on private and
rub Tic welfare are permitted to happen.
1t is in the orler Of Providence, In this world,
that things Of less consequence are sometimes de
stroycd In order TO introduce things which are OF
greater value Our fortunes are destroyed In Or
der that we may find that which is better than
silver and gold Our posr structures are con-
sumed in order that we may build more durable
ones. We are also constantly learning to exercise
greater care in our obedience to the laws and
forces OF God in nature. We are instructed by ca
iamity how to use the elements rightly, eonfne
them wisely, and master them perfectly. God de
signs, by such discipline, that we shall learn how
70 build our material and spiritual structures SO
that they shall not be swept away or consumed.
IL il better that the law by which the elements
against weak barrier at the cost Of much loss
and suffering, than that God should interpose to
modify or destroy It's force Man must learn
to fashion his work according to Gods natural
and moral laws. II he will build Of perishablt
material, he must expect the fire to try his work
God cannot wisely or mercfully make his law,
weak because we do not make our buildings
strong. God will not weaken the force OF fire be
cause we build with material that will burn The
chapter Of calamities u.s. therefore, the great vol
ume of Gods Providence. The world would bs
der and wickeder than ii "a II there were no evil,
to make us more careful, aud no terrors TO make
US more faithful. The boldest and subtlest and
most loving wisdom has ordained all the laws Of
nature and Of spirit and rules over them and theii
effects. The storm, earthquake and fire, seem Il
be the text 10 Gods sermon.
And these ealamites are fruitful OF the finest
utilities. Their terrors make us shudder, but
they also make brave, heroic, faithful, helpful
charitable and strong Manhood Is always born
in sorrow. and developed In Christening. Man \
