FOR MY YOKE IS EASY.

DISCOURSE BY REV. W. s. EDWARDS AT
M'RENDNEE NJ. E. CHURCH.
At McKendree NJ. L. church Rev. w. s.
Edwards preached from st. Matthew, chap
xi, 30 That our Lord arguing for his
service on the ground of comparative
leniency, said the preacher, should refer to a
yoke, burden, things suggestive of eXtorted
and painful labor, may seem at first contra
dictory. A yoke that is easy, or, as the word
might be rendered, mild, gentle, can hardly
be called yoke, and burden so light as not
to distress in any way, ceases to be a burden.
Our Lord wishes to show that the new and
best teacher possessed none of the arrogant,
tyrannizing spirit of the Jewish teachers and
rulers. He labored to break down the long
existing authority of human opinion and its
attempt to hold the heart and mind in
slavery-that religion was something more
than paying of tithes and practcing the pecu-
liar sacred customs of the jews at the time
He was on earth. The Jews and Gentiles of
that time made religion or the practice of il
laborious and offensive. The religion of
Christ recognizes law, government, and dis
cipline as also certain work to be performed,
duties TO be done, as well as certain punish
ments and rewards to be given.
The not receiving the yoke and burden
offered by Jesus does not relieve us from
having yOkes and burdens TO wear and bear
much more CALLING and heavy than those
offered by Him. This isseen in all the walks
and undertakings of life.
The preacher gave the " free thinker" a
scathing rebuke in language too plain to be
mistaken, which showed conclusively the
weakness of those who put their thoughts,
acts, and words in the balance against the
startling but incontrovertible facts given to
mankind by Christ himself. Sin holds its
subject in a giants grasp the power of sin
is absolute and despotic; it drives its victim,
never leads; all freedom of heart and mind
are denied the sinner, and he becomes tho
slave of tyrant.
Those who are opposed to Christ are
ha1assed by all the passions day and night,
while the rule of Jesus over us is mild, tender,
gentle and pleasing. "His yoke is easy and
His burden is light" it gives freedom in
every sense; we are not oppressed, but are
free, happy and at liberty. When Jesus
liberates you from your sins you partake Of
the divine character, and then, and not until
then, do you know the ease and pleasure of
wearing His yoke and bearing his burden.
The love of Christ gives strength where
weakness formerly held sway, and commands
us to be "strong aud of good courage; be not
afraid. neither be thou dismayed, for the

RECoNoILIArIoN WITH GOD.
ELOQUENT SERMON BY REV. DIR. RANKIN AT
THE CONGREGATIONAL OHuRCH

ELOQUENT SERMON BY REV. DIR. RANKIN AT
THE CoNGREGATIoNAL CHURCH.
The Congregational church was we'll filled
last night. DIR. Rankin preached from Rev
elations, XIII 81 "And there shall be no
more curse, but the throne of God and of the
Lamb shall be on it, and His servants shall
serve Him."
In expounding this text DIR. Rankin said
the curse consisted in alienation from God
Aliened from his Master man became hostile
TO his fellow man. The fall of Adam was
speedily followed by the expulsion from Eden
and the murder of Abel. Sin banishes us
from happiness and God and plants in our
hearts envyings, jealousies, strifes, and con-
tentions. 1t is this alienation from God
which makes men unjust and unkind to his
fellow men, and prompts him to do them in
jury. But the worst injury one man can do
another is not as deep and terrible as the in
jury he does himself by the very act of iniur-
ing others. man cannot sin without feel
ing the deep damnation of its influence on
himself. Sin is incompatible with self-respect.
The curse is two fold one-it makes a man
injure others and himself too.
The curse is confined to earth. 1t brings
misery and death. IL makes dreary place
of earth. Yet earth is not, as some men have
said, Godforsaken. God tenderly and pitt
fully commiserates 1t. He has shown His com.
passion, His love for it by divising a plan of
salvation and sending Saviour to II. There
are some men who spend their time in asking
hard questions, why God permits sin, and
why, ii he is able, does he not destroy sin.
Such men are like a physician, who, being
summoned to attend case OF pulmonary
