JACKSON GROVE, Aug. i.
The sermon OF tho Rev. T. L. Couibourne,
which was In progress whom tho notes to THE
CRITIC werc transmitted yesterday, was based
on text from John kill, z, "what I do thou
knoweet not now, but thou shalt know hero
after" Tho abstract follows;
The unow" ia our time OF ignorance, the
thereafter" our time OF knowledge. In our
present state We arc ignorant OF many spir-
itual truths, partially because OF unequal nd
vantagcs, but chiefly on account Of sin. Sin
has impaired our intellectual and moral pow.
ers. We arc Ignorant of many things because
OF our natural inability to discover them.
We now see only the effects Of an entity or
reality, but can go no further. In this sense
We are ignorant Of tho existence Of God; We do
not sec God, but the effects OF His presence.
The Divine attributes arc equally mysterious.
Especially are we In the dark with reference
to the ways of Divine Providence. These are
susceptible OF various interpretations. In our
ignorance Of thoir true Interpretation wo are
often prompted to question the Justice and
mercy Of God, but His ways arc not as ours,
and, consequently,wo are incompetent to Judge
them. God has givon to tho world perfect
and authenticated revelation OF Himself TO
enlighten our Ignorance. This revelation is
suficient for all human needs. Faith In tho
soul among oil the mysteries OF our present
existence, but there will BIO d hereafter, whom
we shall sec face to face and know as We are
known.
