Rev. J. ID. Mofiat, at Second Presby.
terian Church, last evening, preached
from the text "God of this World"
ii. Cor, iy. chapter, part OF Nv verse.
He claimed that the Satan was the "God
of This world" and was worshipped by
probably four-ffths Of the human iami.
w. The heather have no God who has
any real existence, and every person
who does not worship the only true and
living God, accept the GOD OF this
world" Satan only asks you not to
owe YOUR heart to God. He cares not
whether you are infdel, heather, athe-
ist No matter what you are 30 you do
not worship the real God. Mammon
worship is the most deceitful
OF all things. Not that it Is

Cite as to seek this worlds goods, but
il is the worship of riches, putting your

He is accommodating, coming up
to our level and dragging us down, The

At the Fourth Street NJ. +. Church,
Rev. G.. Z. Masden preached yesterday
morning from the text, "For what is q
man profted, il he gain the whole world
and lose his own soulP or what shall Q
man give in exchange Tor his soul,
Matt Is, &c. The Lord Jesus Christ
recognizing the spirit Of trade in man
the principle which is the foundation OF
the commerce OF the world, takes this
method OF propounding this momentous
question to his hearers. The speaker
measured the value OF the soul, first by
it's capabilities. God having breathed
into his nostrils the breath OF life, man
became living soul, life-ditferent
from all merely animal life; there was
spirit in man that enabled him to bring
into subsection for his use and pleasure
all the forces OF nature. Water, fire
wind and electricity were made his ser
wants and messengers. Reason and
analogy, with the testimony OF tho Sor
of God, left no room to doubt that THU
swirit was immortal, and being linked
to the Infinite, continued its progress
sion and development after the clay ten
cment was dissolved. The value of tn,
soul was ais, measured by the cost o
it's redemption. The loss OF the sou
was not represented by thai
vulgar idea OF fearful death bed
with the demons ready to take tho dc
parting spirit down to perdition: Wh'
in this congregation would be willing t.
lose his eyesight to gain the whole
world? Or what would the world b'
