Rev. Dr. Gallaher.

He Delivers Two Excellent DiscOurses to
 His old Charge, the Calvary Baptist
 Church-HIs Sermon i'm the Evening.
 The Rev. Dr. Gallaher, pastor of the Han son Place Baptist church, of Brooklyn, N. r., and former pastor of the Calvary Baptist church in this city, preached in the latter church yesterday in exchange with Rev. MT. Sampson. There was large audience at the morning services, and in the evening the large church ediice was crowded to over flowing.
 After the usual opening services the elo- quent preacher announced as the basis of his remarks the words from Matthew's gospel, 10th chapter, 34th verse 'aThink not that am come to send peace on earth: came not to send peace but sword" The preacher spoke in substance as follows:
 It is somewhat strange that one should read such assentence this from one whom we delight to cali the Prince of Peace. Yet there is some way in which it is applicable to us Let us see if we can get at this Those in the fight against sin are struggling to stand up, and so you must speak of man as fight ing his way in the path of God before he can possess that peace which passeth under standing. Many people when they become converted appear wrapt in ecstacy, and never until that time did they know the desperate wickedness of their own hearts. They were ready to cry before, ''O wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me!'' That was the ''sword" But when the clouds dispersed that was the 'speace'' which followed. They passed out of sin into the son-ship of God The difference in emotion and feel ing, as sexhibited by converted persons, is widely different, yet each may be truly con verted. I do not think there is any difference in the sight of God between either of these classes. The only difference between them is in their temperaments. Our text says t'Thlnk not that 1 am come to bring peace &c." This means, if 1t means anything, that there is struggle in every mans life; some times the fight is with outer circumstances, sometimes with the inner life. The real fight is with mans own habits. In one way or the other you and must perform this strug- gle. We hear Christians say that they are lin perfect peace, :" but there is no peace in this life, on the contrary it is a constant struggle. One man will say I am about as good as they make them, and say that the strugglefor that man is to get rid of his spiritualpride. If you and I don't come to thatpoint where we can say that but for the grace of God might have been as bad as any man that ever lived he has not reached the highest point in Christian life. One of the greatest beatitudes is to be 'tpoor in spirit. !" If man depends on pride and pride only he will surely fail. It is wonder to me that men can travel through the country preach ing infidel sermons, and when hear of these things am led to say, '"They have taken away my Lord and I know not where they have lain him. '' But God permits this, and x1yao lad fo oyo1aiD1 Sf(Irnat iC tho Tnu taru of godliness.' .'' There are more things in heaven and earth than you dream of my brothers, in your philosophy, and never until you begin to love do you see the worth of love. This is the trouble with the infidels. The moment you begin to love there will be signs and miracles never thought of before. The great want for persons seeking religion to-day is the decision, 1 am determined to be Christian. Men deep down in crime may be saved, and there is nothing left for them unless the spirit of God comes and touches their hearts. These men who struggle against sin are doing an honest fight. The worst enemy man ever met is himself. That is the good fight, but if you won't make the fight you are going to be defeated in the sorest and saddest of ways. The time will come when your opportunity will be gone.
 In closing the speaker said q shall never see some of you again, and I ask you, don't let the soul God has given you perish within you"
 The speaker was listened to with deep in terest throughout his very able discourse.
