= Rev. WIN. Gallagher, Of Nusostips
Iowa, formerly . resident Of this oitv
vhs vas bsptissd, converted and Or. Dr.
dained at 81. Andrews Church, than
preached the sermon Of the morninr.-
He took his text from jeremiah, 23d
chap, 7th and sth verses. The speak.,
referred TO the dslivsrancs Of the chI.
drsn Of Israel ont Of the BONDAGE Of
Egypt, and eloqusntly dwelt upon IL,
mercy and goodness Of Gsd - illustr,
ted In their dsliversnos, following II %
with Instances 10 show wherein H.
words Of the text have besn made rood
by the growth and spread Of Christian.
ity. II any one thinks that thu
doctrines Of Christ - taught In ths
scriptures are not progressive, let him
read the history Of the different n,.
tons. Kverywhere, North, South, But
and West, will he find the evidences Of
the progress that divine truth Il max.
ing on the minds and hearts Of men. In
order to more fully appreciate the
truth Of this II was snly necessary for
Us to look back 10 the tims
Of the dslivsranos Of Isrsslitss,-
Truly the days have come when men
no longer say the Lord livsth which
brought up the children Of Israel out Of
the land Of Egypt, but the Lord lvsth
which delivered the whole world. Itb
COED for us to take . glance Of retro
spection, not that We may glory In what
We have accomplished and rest, think
ing that w have done our duty, but 90
the contrary that We may draw inspi.
tion from the msroiss Of the past b
urge rs on with renewed vigor to Ii.
work before us.
Referring to the history Of 81. An.
drew's, the speaker said thst the good
that had been accomplished during The
fifty years that have been buried IN
the tomb Of eternity, could not bs cal.
culated BY any statistics placed upon
parish register or book Of records. II
that were 30, then indeed We might
think that the fruits Of Ahy yesrs Of
toll and prayer rather mssgre. But |.
vas not SO, there had been seed sovu
in this grand old parish daring Ii.
years that have passed, aye, and BY the
handful, that had fallen upon fsrtil,
soil, and brought forth fruit, which had
been garnered In Heaven.
The long continued relationship Of
the venerable Bishop Lee had been
. grand point In favor Of the prosperity
Of St. Andrews. 1t was not liAs hav.
ing.s new face in the pulpit every year.
But the rector had become a. II wsp
put and parcel Of this sacred ediios.
The speakers referred to the faot that
the hand Of Bishop Lee had made the
sign OF the GROSS upon his forehead 1!
the baptismal font, the same hand had
Welcomed him into fellowship at con.
version, and the same hand had also
been laid upon his head at his ordint
ton into the ministry.
Mr.. G. spoke eloquently Of the lsn
that had been sngsndsrsd In bis hear
for st. Andrews and her rector. |,
conclusion he urged the congrsgstion
to 60 forward. In grace, - in NATURE
We could not stand still. In mature
things must be either growing or de-
caying and so 1t was in grace, We must
be either going forward or backward. II.
urged his hearers TO the former course.
There was plenty Of work for US to DO
and It Is our duty to do II. At th.
close Of the sermon Bishop Lee offered
up short prayer and the congregation
was dismissed.
This afternoon Rev. Richard Newton,
D. D., will preach, and this evening
social reunion will be held in the leo
ture reom.
