was preached by Father Kane from the gospel OF tho
day the miracle Of Christ healing the palsy. The
Rev. Father said that II this tho only example
recorded in the gospels OF tho saviours goodness II
would be sufficient TO show how deeply he cared Tor
| humanity. The people who led the sick mau to the
1ect Saviour had doubt heard Of the racles
Of our Lord, and they thought they would take this
suffering man and lay him the feet of tho Saviour
and that, by miraculous power, his strength
would be restored to him. But our Lord know
their thoughts, and said to the man, "Be
OF good cheer, thy sins forgiven thee" In this
the friends Of tho sick map were disappointed, but
Jesus knew that greater miracle 10 cure this
man OF the malady Of sin with which his soul was
afflicted than 1t tho bodily alment. These
men who were around their sick friend thought Jesus
was basphemsr. .This is a man." they said, land
he iorgiveth sins" Thoy did not say this IN words,
they said It in their hearts, and our Lord knowing
their thoughts asked them which was the greatest
work to cure the evil the mans heart or 10 say,
"Rise up and walk" Therefore Jesus said 10 them,
"That thou mayest that the Son Of Man hath
power to forgive Sins | say unto this man, rise up

CHURCH OF THE HOLY TRINITY.
"FoR YE HAVE NOT PASSED THIS WAY HERE
ToFoRE"-sERMoN BIZ REV. DIR. TYING, JR.
Tho Rev DR.. Tying, JE, preached yesterday, Tor the
nrst time since from Europe in the Church
OF tho Holy Trinity, Forty second street and Madison
avenue. Tho members Of the congregation assembled
In iorce at divne service Upon the communion table
was placed pillow OF flowers, with the words, in.
scrbed in vole.s, in the centre, "Wocome Home"
Dr. Tying preiaced his discourse by congratulating
his congregation the Christian work they had &C.
complishcd during his absence He said be should be
false TO every emotion Of gratitude he Jailed 10
how glad lie was to hear abroad Of the continued
fidelity OF those Of the pastors aud brethren who had
charge in his absence. 'For all tho successes Of the
past year." SAID he, '.next TO God the laymen and
women OF this parish are to be thanked. l do not
know how your expressing itself to-day, but
should like to have you join with me in the Sill gng
! oil the 424th hymn"
Alter the singing Of tho hymn Dr. Tying took for hts
portion the third chapter and fourth verse Of
tho Book Joshua, For ye have not passed this
heretofore" He began his discourse by comparing
lie TO ocean, The surface OF which Is RULED or
smooth AS the wind Of God isteth when the SKY IS
with clouds the seems to taunt the sailor
with his hcpessncss, AMI when the storm RACES IN its
Jury The steers his course, In the technical
language OF the ship, by dsad reckonins but IN tho
best OF weather, the sky Is clear and the ocean
calm, It Is impossible steer the ship IN tho same
| course. Did the mariner attempt 10 follow IN
| tho same track a changeful sky and tickle wind
| max a ma Y.
Though the vessels prov ceaved the same waters yet
would tho course DO different; thus suggesting the
the text, Ye have not passed this way here
toiore."
Every successive season, said Dr. Tying every
dspensation OF divine wisdom brings the same mes
sage is the giory Of 10 be above monotony
Tho world takes different look as tie hours pass
by 1t Is the soul makes the place, not The place
ma kes the soul There Is ndni.o variety in things.
Novelty surrounds US continually. We may walk the
same road but not with the same companion; we may
be engaged IN the same occupation, but not with the
same motive.
