Rt. Rev. j. A. Latane, Bishop of the Reformed
Episcopal Church, conducted the services at the
Church of the Redeemer yesterday, assisted by the
rector Rev. Arthur Foster He preached an excel
lent sermon i'll the morning from Acts xi26: :" The
disciples were called Christians first in Antioch
He said the apostles supposed that Christ came
only 10 seek and save the lost sheep of the house
of Israel, and were 10th to acknowledge the right
Of the Gentiles TO admission to the Christian
Church. 1t was not until stephen began TO preach
that the gospel dispensatiOn was designed TO super
scde the Mosaic that the PhGrisees were disposed
to prosecute the Christians. The extension of the
gospel TO the SamaritanS under the preaching of
Philip, the conversion of Cornelius, and finally
the organization of Gentle church at Antioch
were successive steps i'll the development of the
gospel scheme, which eliminated in the magnif-
cent career of 81. Paul, the great Apostle TO the
Geniles." In conclusion, he asked, What is it to
be Il Christian? 1t is, first, TO be disciple or
learner i'll the school of Christ: second to be a
believer i'll Him as the only Saviour from sim and
the one TO whom we can go for consolation and
aid in every time of sorrow and temptation; and
third 10 be follower of Christ striving TO initiate
His devotion toward God and His benevolence to-
ward humanity. 1t was announced that church
sociable would be held in Masonic Temple Wed

invitation was given.

DR.. Harr,son-s Sunday Night Lecture.s

| Rev Dr. Harrison's lecture last night was both
able and interesting as usual, but somewhat more
metaphysical than usual. Its theme was, GOD
Revealed in the Infancy of Jesus" The attributes
| of God may be summed up as WISDOM power, JUS
| tice or truth and goodness Division we see evil
dences in the mechanism of nature and adaptation

His salvation is more than merely preventative
faculties must be employed. There is but
one tie that binds God TO man and man to God
love Love is founded upon sympathy, and cannot
exist without it, God loves man. but man cannot
love God, unless in special manner he is con-
WINGED of the sympathy of the Divine Being
Every good man without Christ is in trouble like
Job. The Divine attribute, love, is shown in the
union of a Divine nature with suffering human
being. And this man is assured of Divine com
passion by fellowship of suffering The whole hui
man life being one every impression on the sense
sorrow Jesus took upon Himself All is
human to him. Now the incarnation of
the Godhead is specifically TO be for the
purpose of bringing God into communion with
men, God as such cannot suffer. But God may so
dwell in a human soul that the fellowship of Suf-
fering i'll the human may engage and employ the
Divine attributes in relief In order 10 attain this
perfection of sympathy by experience the subject
must be perfect human being. So Jesus was born
nature existing in Him related the Godhead to
every form of human suffering. And Gods nature
was shown in the infancy of Jesus by His obedi-
ence, patience, meekncsS.

sructive sermon from the twenty fifth verse of the
ninth chapter of Genesis, in which was prophesied

the Scriptures had been fulfilled and q number of
historical persOnages were quoted to show the in
stances in which the sayings of the prophets had
formed no inconsiderablc portion of the Scriptures
and despite the fact that indelS claimed that thew
were written after the events they foretold had o

Railroad Statistics.

Poor's Manual gives some interesting
railroad statistics. The mileage at the
close Of 1880, in this country, was 49,
gu, gain of SO per cont. for the year !;
the gross earnings were 1915, 4W 1881 !;
net earnings, 1886, 49,, 1876; each show
ing an increase of Is per cent. over the
previous year. The dividends amounted
to $77,115411, a gain of 25 per cent.
compared with l879-whiie the increased
cost shows gain Of 81 per cent. over
the year 1879. The growth of our rail
road system during the past ten years
has been very rapid. In 1870 there were
52,914 miles of railroad, and in 1880 there
were 1851. The gross earnings in 1870
were $3.50 per capita; in 1880, $12.27
per capita, showing that while the
population has increased 90 per cent. in
ten years, the gross earnings on rail-
roads have increased in the same time
"a per cent. The freight charges on
railroads have been reduced in that
time from an average on the great
leading lines Of 1859 cents per ten mile,
to O.919 cents per ton per mile showing
that in the ten years the earnings have
Increased "a per cent. on a decreased

A horse epidemic known in Eerope as
horse typhoid fever, has recently broken
out in the United, and is now in New
Orleans. Mules are not so much sub
iect to it as horses. 1t is called Pink
Eye in the City, from the color of the
animals eyes during the disease, which
is said " to be form of scarlatina COM
bined with rheumatic fever that causes
a stiffness of and swelling OF the joints,
though it may be that the swelling OF
the legs is caused by the retention of
the animals urine" 1t is a disease of
the warm weather, and disappears when
cold weather begins. 1t is not often
fatal, and death very seldom occurs
where the animal is properly treated
and is not worked. Entertainment con-
sists principally in administering some
thing that will act on the Kidneys and
break the fever.

We publish some very sensible re-
marks, reported by telegraph, made
by the Rev. Isaac Errett, in regard to
the absence of preachers at the death
bed of President Garfield. 1t is very
strange that so many christians think
it absolutely necessary that a preacher
or priest should be with every dying
christian, in order to give him the
finishing religious touches, as it were,
and open for him the gate to heaven.
1t certainly has been very poor reli-
gious life, that has left preparation for
future life to the last moment. And
we doubt if riding to heaven on the
back of preacher or priest, is part of
the genuine plan OF salvation.
