SUNDAY SERVICES.
Sermon by Prof. Barbour.

Yesterday morning at Plymouth church Prof
Barbour preached from the text in Luke 9:23
sand He said unto them all, if any man will
come after Me let him deny himself, and take
up his cross daily aud follow Me- There are
two words in this text that should attract the
attention of everyone. The first is ''all'', in
Guiding every soul who may come under the
sound of the Gospel message. The other is
daily, the cross to be taken up not at some
far off time but every day, and now this is to
be done. In the light of these two words, the
commonness and universally of the duty of
self-denial for the sake of Jesus is enforced-to
all the command comes; and it is to be every
day and in all the circumstances of our daily
life. The first condition of Christian service is
self-denial-the primary step. 1t is not self
torment, or peuance, or abstinence from food
or love of nature. 1t is not to deny ourselves in
one way so as to indulge ourselves in another.
A refusal to give way to selfshness is not al
ways self-denial. We are disguised with the
boorish i'll manners of some, and yet we take
opposite course often through some other form
of selfshness. Let as seek to deny self-not
merely selfshness. Again we are to deny our.
selves, in caring for our higher interests at the
expense of the lower. Ia Eden our first par
ents did not obey God. when it came to re-
quire the giving up of their own pleasure.
Jesus denied Himself, and as the second Adam
remained faithful to Gods commands; and SO
would lead us back to God by teaching us to
deny ourselves and obey God in all things.
The second condition of dscipleship is that we
should take IN Our cross and fn1lnw our MaStor
This was proverb among the Jews, and does
not imply that we should needessly rush into
danger, or do what is not demanded of us. Jesus
did not expose Himself till His time came. We
see that every Christian has cross, and that he
is to take it up and bear it cheerfully. We are
to take up our own cross, not our ueighbors.
We may think his lighter, but it is hard enough
for him. Ones cross may be bad temper
another have poverty, or narrow soul or
despoIding heart, or covetousness, or pride, or
broken heart-to all there is some appointed
burden and form of self-denial which he must
meet in life. The cross is to be carried every
day-n this world we shall never be free from
crosses and sorrows. Two suggestions. Why
are so many Christians uncertain of their disci-
pleship? 1t is be cause they don't deny them
selves, and hence haye!no means to tell they are
serving the Saviour. To be soldier, and yet
have no arms, or flag or uniform, or conflict or
hard services Again--trained under this sys-
tenn, we see how these hardest conditions and
ways of service may at last become our highest
happiness, glory and honor, for at last we shall
follow Jesus to His heavenly throne in glory.
The cross here, the crown there.

ADJUTANT GENERALS REPoRT-From the
report of Adjutant General Cilley, it appears
that three cadet companies have been formed at
Bath, Waterville and Augusta, in connection
with schools at those places, and which has had
the effect to increase the attendance on the
same. The number of companies in the militi-
have not been increased the past year, consist
ing of ten companies of infantry, two compa-
MES of unattached infantry, and one section of
light artillery, comprising eight hundred and
sixty officers and enlisted men, The annual
encampment was held at Brunswick, at which
the troops showed great proficiency. The ex-
peuses of the muster were made less than here
tofore. 1t is proposed to pay more attention to
the target practice. A very perfect copy of tn
rolls of Maine men who served in the war Of
1872 has been purchased. 1t is recommended
that regimental associations assist in collecting
facts, personal accounts, incidents of battlefield
camp and hospital or any other facts connected
with that interesting period of our country's
history.
