After an absence Of two Sundays from his church, by
reason OF illness, DR.. Chaplin resumed his accustomed
place In the pulpit yesterday morning The text chosen
was from Psalms, &c, 12--"So teach us to num-
Der our days that may apply our hearts unto WIS.,
dom" The verse was regarded the keynote to tho
entire psalm, least indicating the right applca
ton OF the conditions which the psalm unfolds No
passage OF the Bible, said Dr. Chaplin, is more n,ted
10 tho season we have now reachcd-the last day of
the year. The psalm Itself has been regarded by many
