SuNDAY.-Rev. Clewell preached in the
Moravian church at 10 d. H.. Love feast
ana communion services were observed in
the Methodist church, at which quite a
number Of persons gave in their expert
ence, and three young converts Joined the
church. Meetings will be held during the
entire week and be continued from week
to week until further notice. 1t is to be
hoped that many will embrace this oppor-
tunity of giving their hearts to Christ and
receiving peace to their souls. Presiding
Elder Morgan, of Baltimore, delivered two
powerful sermons on Sunday and one Sat
urday night. All of which were highly
appreciated by the multitudcs which as
scmbled on each occasion to hear him.
Below VIC give synopsis of the one
preached ON Sunday morning:
TExT-"Now are we the sons Of God
and it doth not yet appear what we shall
be- but we know that when He shall APP
pear we shall lie like Him, for we shall sec
Him as He is"--1 John, 80.
Whilst all ny creation arc His creatures
only the subjects of the new creation 10y
regeneration are His sons; had man con-
tinued holy as created all would have this
honor, but now we arc sprung from the
man whose guilty fall has corrupted the
race and tainted all" But by godly re-
pcntance and living faith once more that
union is brought about and man lifted to
the honorable position of son OF God.
What does it imply? Two great truths 4:
LIST. What he now isl son OF God.
3D. What he shall be.
He is now son OF God-mplying, list.
dignity of birth-a thing not to be lightly
estimated nor despiscd; giving acvanta-
ges in influence, education social refine
ment and power, otherwise attained only
by years of labor and care Cd Parental
projection and instruction. The new born
lake and suppose conversion the end of
their work, whereas lis the beginning.
Babes need to be fed on the sincere milk
of the word; are not able to bear strong
meat 3d. Parental sympathy; God re-
veals Himself rs a tender parent. Can
the mother forget her sucking child
Yes, she may forget, yet will not forget
you" Like as a father pitieth his child,
SO the Lord pitieth them that fear Him. "
If parents know how to give coed gifts so
docs God. 18th Heirs Of Heaven: The law
makes children legal heirs because of their
relation. So union with Christ "if chill
drcn, then heirs, heirs of God and Joint
heirs with Christi" heirs of God through
Christi Oftcn heirs arc injured in view
of their coming heritage and become
! triling in vain, bu, the christian strives 10
be more worthy Of his, by being more holy
and humble.
II. What shall lie be? Sumo things
about it We know not and some VIC know ::
1t doth not yet appear that We Shall be-
| this we know not-but when he shall ap
appear l. e. at our resurrection, we shall be
| like Him &c this we know Is much
! mystery about our state between death
and resurrection. Much speculation and
controversy from neither Bickerstcth,
Dante, nor scores Of Others can satisfaction
be had; It's only probability; effect on
soul of separation from body we know
not, but most likely great in its develop
ment and power OF enjoyment. That in
termcdinte state is not the materialists
sleep, hut a conscious state
Strange that the bible almost wholly 81
lent on this point, SO full of tender interest
