Church OF the Redeemer.

The rector occupied the pulpit at each ser
vice. The subject in the evening was from Hebrew
K, l7-"Their sins and iniquities will I remember
no more" Gods hatred of sin, as illustrated by
biblical facts, was frst presented; then the change
Of character in connection with forgiveness, and
the fact that in the Old well as the New Testa-
are now on the question OF Its reality. The cause
Of present anxiety was then presented In the i'm
proper application OF Scripture, compromise with
beloved sin, unwatchhlness, and the not seeing
that Is the sacrifice so is the rest that Justice has
no charge to bring against the soul trusting In
the Saviour. The subject in the morning was the
perpetual juvenility OF the Christian life, IL.
Corinthians iv., part 10Th verse. The congrcga-
tions were, as usual, very good.
The usual Friday evening lecture will be omitted
this week The second social reunion Of the church
will be held on Thursday evening, and II is ex.
pected that Mrs. Wilson, the wife Of the rector now
on visit here, will be present. All friends OF the
church cordially invited.

All Souls Church.

The chapel OF the new Unitarian Church at
the corner Of Fourteenth and l. streets was filled
by It's congregation yesterday morning. Rev. Clay
MacCauley took for his text John vi H. his subject
being the criterion test Of moral truth. He COM
pared the principle Of absolute Church authority,
claimed by the Church Of Rome with that Of the
inner witness Of the individual soul to such TRUTH
which is the principle peculiar to Professionalism.
large part of the sermon was devoted TO showing
sole authority by Rome is not true. That dogma,
Mr.. MacCauley said, is that though man Is q
spiritual being, he is. by nature, wholly alienated
from God and divine things. But both history and
experience show that even when measured by the
standard claimed by Rome as the only true ono
man has, In all ages, to greater or less de-
gree, worshipped God truly and sought that which
accounted for, Il man Is by nature the foe Of God
and goodness7 II could not be accounted for ex-
cep by admitting that man Is not totally depraved
that he bynature seeks God and Is guided by awness
within toward right and away from wrong As the
Apostle Paul said, the Gentiles show by their
works that the law Of God is written In their hearts,
| that their thoughts accuse or else excuse one
| another.
The weakness of orthodoxy lies In the fact that It's
Protestant principle Of individual freedom and re.
snpnsibility is yet allied with tho Roman dogma Of
total depravity. Gradually, therefore. the orthodox
churches must either return to Rome or advance
| into acknowledged rational Christianity.
The sermon closed with the claim that Jesus
himself gave his sanction 20 the doctrine Of the
which makes Christ's teachings SO powerful when
brought home to the individual conscience is the
testimony To their truth Nhich comes from within
| the soul itself
