SUNDAY SERVICES.

AT the Swedenborgian church, yesterday, the
Rev. Mr.. Frost of Salem. preached from John
iii. 9: "How can these things be?' In all lit
erature outside of the Bible, nowhere is found
the slightest allusion to the great fact that SO
interests all mankind, that to be saved man
must be born again. Plato and Sir Thomas
Moore, in their utopian plans, gave no hint
of this necessity; but the Saviour startled Mic
odemus and the world by the announcement
Eye must all be born again. and He gives the
reason of this necessity, because "That which
is born of the flesh is flesh.' Paul understood
and preached this, "For to be carnally minded
in DEATH" When the Christian church first
announced this their opponents said this is an
impossibllity; the tiger could as easily change
his nature as man put aside his natural inci-
nations The Christians replied. 'Come and
see." There are three kingdoms a spiritual
above the natural, and celestial above the
spiritual; man was born to be an inhabitant of
the celestial kingdom. We have in us three
natures which correspond to these Kingdoms,
and it is possible for us to assimilate goodness
and truth so as to fit ourselves to inhabt those
higher Kingdoms. As the body is nourished
from infancy to manhood, SO is the spiritual
body nourished and sustained by truth and
goodness until it is fitted for life in the Gales
tial city. The first thing is to put aside evils,
hence John the Babtist preached repentance.
The water of baptism signifies truth BY re-
pentance and the receiving of truth we are
purified. The internal sense of the holy word
comes to US as the John Baptist of our times,
and shows US the evils which we must put
away so that the holy Saviour may come and
quicken in US the seeds of eternal life. Can
we realize this and take hn1d of tho pa1u 1ifoo
The vision of Ezekiel describes our natural
state. We are like dry bones, but the Lord
can breathe into us the breath of life and bring
us into the "land of Israel"

FRATERNITY CONCERT CoURsE.-The Third
concert in this course was given on Saturday
evening at Fraternity Hall by the Choir of
First Parish Church. The programme was
made up of German -Four Part Songs. Trios,
Duets and Solos. 1t goes without saying, as
the French say, that such selections given by
singers of such ability as those comprising the
First Parish Choir would furnish rich treat
to the audience and when to this is added the
fact, that there were in the programme, three
piano duets by Mr.. and Mrs. Kotzschmar, it
will be we'll understood that the concert was
far superior to many much more pretentously
advertised. Mr.. Kotzschmar has appeared in
public much too rarely as a soloist of late
years, and he with MIS- Kotzschmar were very
warmly received by the audience, and received
an enthusiastic encore in their second number
of the programme. Mrs. Wetherbee and
Messrs. Stockbridge and Shaw were also
encored, the latter responded with a bow to a
call to repeat Fair Dove Fond Dove
The next and last concert of the course will
be given on Saturday evening next by the
Congress Square Church Choir.
