Tho claim OF unbiased" exposition will probably
strike most readers with astonishment in
view Of the severely didactic and oven "doctri-

thckly ntcrspersed with maxims in advocacy of the

serve useful purpose in directing attention its
very instructive statistics but the moral TO DO drawn
thercfrom viii not always coincide with tho con

REV. ", II. GALLAGHER AT ST. AN
DREw's CHURCH THIS MORNING
The semi-centennial anniversary SER
vices, of st. Andrews Z. L. Church., v ere
resumed this morning, and Rev. W. II.
Gallagher preached upon the christian
work Of returning sinners To their in
heritance. The text was the 9th and
1th verses of the XXIlI chapter Of Jere-
miah's prophesy.
natural lesson taught In the text is
that there Is great future for men. Not
withsi arding this men are prone to cast
flirtise glanc's at the past, even though
the future may present for them a rosy
radiance. 1t was so with the children OF
Is ael; ih the day oi jeremiah they were
looking back to day fun of glory for
them. IL was to the day OF their deliver
ance-cdu d they ever forget that? liut
the Lord taught them that they had more
glorious days in stO.e tor them than anv
that had glded into the past. Men must
never sta nd still; Tor them a continuous
halt Or delay means decay, and the ma
iural order Of things make this the
result if a body or person does not ad-
vance.
1t is 50 with spiritual things. Truth
in many things have come to minds Of
dlsbelievers. Gods cause has extended
10 places where il was in previous ages
unknown. II this is doubted look at
the history of christianity. But all has
not come to ass. Moses, when he de
livered the ch liren Of Israel from bond
ag', Wa called TO great r victories, and
Also to q eat-r trials. The same prlnci-
ia in nj 4 at hIIt "a
that Is thrown into the back ground un-
was made sacred.
There IS one more application. A
day is coming that will far exceed in
glory any other-wh hen man driven away
by sin from his inheritance can be lad
back to it again. Let us draw some
conclusions from this. On us, in u
great measure, depends our acceptance
ia that day, or own condition ana EN-
po,ment govern it all. You must
work ifyou do, yours will be the re-
ward you do not, then you will re-
ccive only condemnation. The greatest
"ay is t0 do your hardest to lead the
sinner back to his Inheritance.
As have already said, men VIII cast
furtlve glances at the past ; therefore
his morning. is time for Ietrospcction.
There was time vi en- st. Andrews
church v as but an experiment, hope,
Now We look back through nifty years
and s"r that a great advancement has
taken place. The good the church does
is not u contained in the parish regis
ter. A great ana good influence Tor good
is throw ia out, whose effect does not di-
rectly appear.
Taking everything into consideration,
how much has been done by the parish
church But because 30 much has been
done, rest not Remember the words of
the text, "tor they shall return to me
with their whole heart.
