INWARD GLoRIEs OF RELIGIoS-sERMoN By
REV DIR. HUEBscH.
Rev. DIR. Huebsch preached yesterday I'm the
Temple Ahxwath Chesed. Lexington avenue taking
his text from Exodus xxxiii. ls-"And he sad let
me see. beseech thee, thy glory" There is hardly
one sound minded being in existence. said the
Doctor who does not desire to what Is beautiful
and glorious. But not all men are able to appre-
ciate true beauty and genuine glory. Uncuiti-
waited taste is easily captured by q dazzling and
glittering shine. Refined taste demands more
than glitter There certain rules and principles
which must be satisfied ere we bcstow the attribute
of beautiful glorious q certain object. We
certainly describe religion beautiful. and the
main idea of religion. God. ~ the glory Of glores.
This description induces many. II not ALL to cast
searching and Discerning look in the direction of
this highly praised object; but soon many
turn away their eyes In utter disappoint-
ment aud say. with the best will we
ligion be judged by such verdict, then you may
say the best painting of the greatest master is val
ueless because the blind cannot sec its merits Our
dissppontments In religion are our own faults.
Many approaching the altar Of the Lord

Il not be that heaven indeed opens wide It's gates ut

on your part IL that expect these things to hap

THK VISION
True, the prophet Isaiah describes his vision an
outward sight. He saw the heavens open, the
cee stia temple and the splendor Of the thrones the
majesty OF the Lord surrounded by the legions of
angels But the explanation of this description lies
in his statement that he touched by the

touch he changed into another man.
