Trinity (FrOteStdm Eptseepat.
The Rev. DR.. Stephen II. Tying. jr., preached
yesterday morning upon the perpetuity of Chrss Sac
rice The body of the church was filled completely by
the audience in which were many strangers. At tho
close OF the ante-communiOn service, DR.. Tying an
nOunced that offering for the benefit OF the sufferers
from yellow the South would be taken. An ear
nest plea behalf of the charity made that the
offering might be expression Of Christian sympathy
with the afflicted people. The distribution, it was
stated. would be made by the Rev. Dr.. Dix. in whose
the collection made the previous Sunday at the
door Of the church had been placed Dr. TDg took the
text for the morning discourse from st. Luke tx 49,
any VIII come after me. let him deny hlnSen anu
take up his cross and follow me-, -. 49,.
Christ the said the preacher, but the
Church has yet eFuchX IL the best way OF stating the
truth OF the perpetual OF Jesus through his one
suffering The dead Christ was removed rom tne mare
nal cross and laid in the private grave OF Joseph
He assembled from Oliyet and now ever hveth as per
petual Precipitation Of Religious superstition mas
srIVen to draw Him down and replace Him on the cross
but He liveh the Lamb Of God GOlgOtba is still iv
ing present fact An historical faet the cfuelxlon
perpetualy recurring sacrifice. Daily sins secure dairy
remission. This Interpretation OF the text s not the
usual one Commentators direct us TO standardization
meaning 70 the that Is given now in New
York. To take up His cross was to be identlhed win
Him to be made partner with Him In the enangefu
scenes through which He was TO pass.
The first lesson is that the daily Is 20 be taken up
NAV ycu lue soStingav nIn@ me ont" 1ast dead
thing however correct historically does not affect him.
Sin cries for something fresh and real. and Wo have
hope better than Jew ROmish Church. The great
submission, be repeated by Christ Is sOace
for present Sinner aud Saviour change place;
Jesus stands in your stead, and yonr eross Is His;
Oh cross so marvelOusly changed by His sacrificed
In this truth OF substitution not to take the
material symbol, but we have something mOre-the
actual conservation In the presence OF Calvary. One OF
the saddest sights to the symbol OF Cnrists sur
fering upon vain and unchristian hearts Nor is
it sufficient TO recognize the influence of the
Peace and pardon merely the fruits Of the atone
ment; but the death OF the Saviour more than
that OF the martyrs. Embodied in the crucifxion
the perpetuty Of the sacrifice. Every evangelical
church makes this truth present power. GOgotha
must be q place u every life. No man can rid himself
OF the responsibility in that sin erucfes Him afresh
Driving the nails His hands and feet scOng with
the reYers at foot OF the cross mourning with
the women at His grave he must take his place one
the other side. The has been given back TO you
by the riches OF His grace. IL is the Jacobs ladder by
which ascend the mansions OF rest lie has made
for us. Our King says follow me-" and daily we take
up the cross OF Jesus.
