oS last Sabbath evening Rev. Andrew II.
Parker proached in the Presby yterian church,
from Rev. 6: IL. {" For ihe great day or his
wrath iscomo; Who shallbs sble to stand ~
the Txsme or field cf ne diseoxrss was
the great day, the jsdE<enf day.
The Introductory embraced the broad
declaration that from the operations of all
natural laws, as far As understood by man,
only one conclusion could be reached, and
that is. Judgment day is surely approach
ing. Such has been the conclusion of the
minds Of m-n in past days. Tn. assurance
of Gods Word, as revealed or expressed to
men. is proof of the approach Of a great
day, the judgmest doy. 1t was this assur-
ance that gave fortitude and strength to the
early men of the church. They Looked for
ward to it as the approach of most happy
day, when they would be adjudyed Alright,
on the Judgment day.
The judgment Day will be a great day,
First-B-cause OF the variety and mum

and unknown will be there; none will be

The Reverend gentleman at tais point in
his sermon earnestly asked TO knew on
what ground or plea his hearers will attempt
10 stand the frldi. Before human tribunal,
h"man learning and human ingenuity might
succeed in procuring verdict OF innocence
but before God an assurance Of innocence
rouif be Of no araii Who is innocent
The consciousness Of insufficient eridence will
be made painfully manifest, for God will be
there TO disclose TO you the secrets of the
heart, the serrefs of a human heart.
Who can stand the trial. Look at the
eyidrnce.
TIrsr-God triN be a irifness against you.
Second-Thoss GgdtHsf, and through phom
you siHned IriH Be rifnss,ss against you.
Third-Erternd! nature rii be pifhess

This array ol witnesses will result on that
great day in utter condemnation. Before Il
human tribunal perhaps they might produce
a favorable verdict.
Perhaps you may count on favorable
verdict, because
FIrst-TAs sin wifh vIich you are charged
is Insignificant, but the plea will not avail on
that great day
Secund-Ti sin ira, an accidental one.
Such plea will not avail on the great day
Third-Thaf you are ASSN ed Of The sym
pdthy Of God.
FOurth-That yoH hare done signal serrice.
All these pleas might 60 great way be-
fore a human tribunal, but on the Judgment
day they will avail nothing. Nothing will
avail on that great day and give you as>ur
ance TO stand erect " hen your name is called
to answer before the ..iiigh idge of all The
universe" Tor the deeds done in the BODY,
but full aud free pardon. Pardon. Par

that great day.
