Rev. DIR. Harcourt in the Trinity Methodist Epis-
copal Church, York street. Jersey City, last evening
preached a Gospel temperance sermon, tending to
show the dark side of city life. The church was
crowded The preacher announced his text from
Luke l., 79;'To give light to them that sit in dark
ness and in the shadow of death. to guide feet
into the way Of peace" He said that cities
were the great centres of good and evil; they
are the nation what the heart and lungs to the
body They generally the strong citadels Of the
prince of darkness His friend over the water, the
Rev. DR.. Tamage. had been preaching for some time
ON the dark side Of New York Ife but he thought
from his sermons that Mr. Talmage had not seen the
dark side-he had only the tinseed, gilded and
fancy side. by some it is called the joyous side.
