KNAPP
The millennium and the second coming OF Christ

bear 10 each other-whch is first and which second.
The belief in the second advent is general among
Christians, but they divide TO the time when
Christ shall come to reign with His people. DR..
Knapp's inquiry based the texts, Acts l. III !,
Isaiah XII. o. After briefly outlining tho birth md
life and death OF Christ which he declared 10 be the
profoundest fact in the history Of the universe he
asked Could such q God undertake anything
that would prove failure And yet the
outlook Of the world to-day would to
indicate failure. The enemy lived and tri-

There lie that in the doctrine that invites the believer

Dr. Knapp discussed his subject under three heads.

neffciency of the officials entrusted with the

and entertainments, thus effectually aiding the
tirpation Of the vice of drunkenness.

CHURCH OF OUR SAVIOUR.
THE sAyIoUR's LovE-sERMoN BY REV. M


The services at the Church Of Our Saviour Univer-
salist). morning and evening, were COM
memorative OF the peculiar religious char
acter of the occasion The Rev. James NJ. Pull
man. pastor oficiated at both services. The
forenoon sermon essentially Christmas
mon. and that Of the evening portrayed the beauty
of Saviours love. The text of the latter from
st. John. xiii. 34-"A new commandment give
unto you, That ye love another, as have loved
you
Whatever sceptics and theologsts may say about
the character of Jesus said the preacher thing
rises clear unmistakable and pcrfect-He loved His
fellow The passion Of hate was likcned unto
nest of growing wolf cubs in the heart Of man.
Genuine love be turned to hate To charge the
Saviour with entertaining feeling of hate toward
mankind was to charge Him with ehangeabeness and
fckleness. The genuine love He entertained for
mankind cannot be turned to hate. His character is
full of love to mankind. Neither the word charity"
nor the word 'benevolence'' define 1t. The
preacher described the nature Of the new command
ment and the quality OF the love meant. Nations
should be ruled by love, not force. The Church
of Christ organized love AZ central principle
for the government OF mankind and the
commandment introduced new motive OF action
among men. The quality OF the Redeemers love
asserted to be the love He bore for the lowest
among His followers. He did not hesitate to come
down to the common affairs of life. In His last
hour He recognized common earthly ties. 1t is a
great mistake to Keep our love until great occasions
shall call its demonstration Our whole lives
made up of inhnitessimal portions, and the
sentiment Of genuine love is shown in
little things as well as large ones The
treachery of Judas portrayed. but the
love the Redeemer for His disciples and His fellow
men flowed serenely in the same full. sweet and
gentle stream. 1t love that carried Him
through the cross, through death and through the
grave. The way to make man trustworthy is
carrying out this sentiment but confidence reposed
In another through spirit of love. seldom fails
of producing the happicst results. The great
heart Of the Creator is full OF love, and
Jesus, His messenger. brings it unto
all mankind. Walking III the light of that
love, man cannot go far wrong IF yc love mo.
keep my commandments" Well nigh upon the eve
Of the day which gave mankind Redeemer, it is
proper that should give profound consideration
to the thoughts which that sublime event inspires.

he had been clerk in a police court and had seen
the worst phases of drunkenness. He had seen how

Of their husbands; how women were reduced to the
lowest degradation and how children were lost by
the negligence Of parents addicted to drink. 1t is

come. There is nothing the country
so needs and longs for, there IL moth
ing that can contribute so much to
the restoration Of prosperity. and set
the wheels OF business in swifter mo-
ton than resumption. With the re-
demption OF the first dollar In green
backs over the National treasury
counter, there will go up all over the
whole country an expression OF glad
relief that the day OF long suspense
Is over, and that the Nation has en-
tered upon new era. and one Of
sounder, surer prosperity than the
country has heretofore known.
The night Of sloth and inaction
will be past; the day Of hopeful ac-
tion will fairly dawn. Men will know
then that they are building their for
tunes upon a rock; that no treacher-
Gus quicksands can undermine. They
will feel their footing firmly under
them at every step, and go forward
with confident, swift tread, instead OF
cropping blindly between rock and
chasm, as in the last few years. The
millions OF gold and silver that have
been locked up In every conceivable
place, all over the country, will be
released as the spring sun releases
the myriad little rivulets that have
been sealed up by winters finger,
and as they flow to join the grand
swelling stream OF commerce, their
course will be ripping p@an Of Joy
