AVENUE PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH.
SERMON By DR.. HAIL.


The Fifh avenue Presbyterian church was filed yes
terday morning to its utmost capacity by fashion
ablo and attentive congregation, who listened with
much earncstness to eloquent sermon which was
delivered by the Rev. DR.. John Hail. pastor OF that
church.
Dr. Hall took his text from the Gospel according to
St Matthew, XIX, 81, in these words-"Then
swered Peter and said unto him, Behold, have for
saken all and followed thee; what shall we have there
forc2"
The question Of Peter arose from particular ante
cedcnt; he put the interrogation to Lord after
hearing what Jesus had said to the rich young man.
Christ treated the young man upon his own ground
and said to him. sf thou wilt enter into life keep the
commandments" Alter telling the young man how
he should guido his life, Jesus added that
II he would bo perfect the young man must
sell all that he had end thou shalt have treasure in
heaven, and come and follow me-" The which
Christ gave 10 the young man caused him 10 go away
sorrowiul 'ior ne had great possessions: Thus, u
Christ; TOR under HIS influence they would become
converted and the evil one might lose his prey. And
would not, said the preacher, "advise any young
IN this house to do the same thing, because
THERE Is DANGER IN IT."
when Peter heard Christ say that It dfhcult
for a rich 10 enter heaven, he said, "Lord, we
have abandoned all and followed you. Christ who
treated HIS Disciples as children, said TO Peter, "Yo
which have followed me, In the regeneration when the
Son of man shall sit in the throne OF his glory, ye
also shall sit upon twelve thrones judging the twelve
tribes or Israeli You VIII be associated Win me IN
the Kingdom ofligdt erected by the Holy Ghost The
disciples did not understand all that Christ sad TO
them; they knew that this which he said
meant something good and desirable, but they did
not then comprehend the whole Of Christ's
meaning Christ also treated His disciples
as ireEesand there 8 no friend in this world like unto
Christ; He Is the good Master, who will do everything
