"noblesse oblige," bound him who wore it to
be man among men, and to be q Christian o
man must cultivate the highest type of man
hood and human excellence. The standard
set up is the lowest required of all men who
would bo followers of Christ. Soc how much
moro is required of those who would bo
teachers, in Paul's epistle to Timothy when
he gives him his instructions TO go and do the
Masters work in dopravod Crete. 1t is not
enough for men to cultivate the Christian
virtues They must adorn themselves with
the ornaments of tho Christian religion that
they may be prepared to do the work of God
moro perfectly. See how this is illustrated
in Pau's epistle TO Philemon. Under the
tattered garberdine of the wandering mis-
sionary dwelt q courtliness that gains by
contrast with the noblest of that or any age.
Where can be found a more polite and courtly
communication than this. sent by the impris-
oned apostle by the hands of converted
fugitive slave to his master, Philemon
Thus tho sum Of Christians life should be
a high and noble manhood, ornamcnted with
those graces that mako that manhood more
powerful for good, more powerful for all the
work that God has given for his children

CHRIST AS A SAVIOUR.

SERMON BY REV. DIR. DEALE, PRESIDING
ELDER, AT THE METROPOLITAN CHURCH.
Metropolitan M. L. church was we'll filed
yesterday morning to hear sermon preach led
by the presiding elder, Rev. DIR. Deale, who
took his text from Hebrews vii, 25-"Where-
fore He is able also to save them to the utter.
most that come unto God by Him, seeing He
ever liveth to make intersession for them"
This epistle, said the speaker is a remark
able production, even though il be compared
with others in the Bible. The text is an in
ference drawn from Chrst's ability 10 save to
the uttermost, and it sets forth His ability as
q saviour
He is able to save all who come unto Him
through God. He lives to intercede for those
who thus come, and is willing and ready to
do what he has promised. Christ is able to
save completely, and there is no limit to His
power as q saviour Who dare limit tho Holy
Ono of Israeli If man obey tho fixed laws
of God, and he can, for he is intelligent and
a rational agent, there will be no bar to his
obtaining salvation. God will not do violence
to the freedom of man, for He says: Behold,
l stand at the door and knock and he who
may can enter and dine with Me-" There
fore it only rests with man. The
way is plain, and the conditions are easy
God says: "He that cometh unto Nc
1 will not cast out" Salvation completely
we uare place upon our banner; salVatlon
from sin, and all its unhallowedness. Christs
power to save connects two worlds; this and
the next. He is able to save completely and
to the uttermost all who come in His name.
Christ's ability as saviour originated in
His priestly Office, and this involves every
thing else. He stands between the offended
and the offenders. He is the son of man an
| the son of God as we'll.
The sacrifices practiced by the old Jewish
priests were typical of Christ's death. Jesus
died on earth, and Ho now pleads His suffer
ings in Heaven. What He died to save lie
lives to plead. His sacrifice renders the in
tercession eificacious to God.
He is able to save to the uttermost and for.
ever and He is able to save now or any hour
If we walk in the light as He is in the light
we will be cleansed of all sin. The obstacle
between us and the saving grace of Christ i:
our unwillingness to walk in the light a'
He Swaks in tho light. Christ is our ad.
vocate in Heaven and let us be His on earth
Let us join our intercession with that Great
High Priest for all mankind. We need a
mediator and we have one between God and
man in Christ Jesus.

THOUGHT, THE FOOD OF LIFE.

ELOQUENT SERMON OF REV. W. j. PETTIGBEw
AT THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
There was a large congregation gathered
yesterday morning at IL o'clock to hear the
sermon of Rev. w. J. Pettigrew, Of New York
city, The preacher took as the basis of his
remarks the eighth verse OF the fourth chapter
of the epistle of st. Paul to the Philippians
FINALLY, brethren, whatsoever things are
true, whatsoever things are dignified, what
socver things are righteous, whatsoever things
are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, what
soever things are of good report, If there be
any excellence, and if there be any praise,
think of these things" Proceeding, he said
that this grand adiuration to the cultivation
and pursuit Of all excellence was addressed
by the chief apostle to tho best of all the
churches. Through a great afllction Paul
had found the church of God TO be at Phil
lippi. His previous work had been among
the semitic population of Asia, but he had
been interdicted from other fields, and ut last
he came to the classic city of Proas. There
ali inspired vision called him TO the work of
God in Macedonia, and ut heapOlis the
feet of those who spread ne gospel, for
the first pressed th' soil of Europe
He found but few Chriatians there. At the
oratOry where they met but few women
We're gathered, among them the seller of pur-
pie, Lydia ofTyre. From here Paul and Silas
were dragged 10 the market place, Deaten De-
cause Paul had cast out the evil spirit from
the slave seeross, and had them cast into
prison. Then came the night of prayer the
trembling OF the earthquake, and at last the
jailor knet before Paul and Silas and cried
What shall do to be saved"
Time rolled on, and Gods ambassador was
again captive loaded with chains, in the
dungeons Ut Rome. But from this gloomy
abode he dictated the great epistles--thC
epIstlcs Of cGptiYity-and among them the
cristlo to the church at Phillippi. In this
marvellous opstle appears tho words of the
text which embrace all tho good things that
should crop out III Christian life, and which
close with tho words of incucation, Think
on these things" The divine apothegm sets
forth the fact that men are what they think
in their hearts Thought is tho food OF life
and the character and quality of mans
thoughts will determine tho pitch aud langS
Ofhis life. Such meditation builds up a man
character for good or evil, according to the
iooi the man himself furnishes

GODS SERVICE.
PRACTICAL DISCOURSE BY REV. GEORGE O..
LITTLE At ASSEMBLY CHURCH.

PRACTICAL DISCOURSE BY REV. GEORGE O..
LITTLE AT ASSEMBLY CHURCH.
The Assembly Presbyterian church was
we'll filled yesterday to hear an eloquent SER
mon by Rev. George o. Little. The pastor
took for his text Romans xii, 2. "Be ye not
conformed to this world, but be ye trans
formed by tho renewing of your faith that ye
may prove what Is that good and acceptable
and perfect will of God" He aptly compared
the teaching of the Epistle to the Romans
with a railway journey up steep mountain
side, which we ascend with labored progress
until we reach the summit, and then with
lighter engine speed our way along through
beautiful scenery.
In the first verse Paul explains the kind of
service required. and claims that it is reason
able In the next he describes the method of
serving God again, how not to serve Him,
and then the difference between both. The
first is sacrificing ourselves to God. The
"living" sacrifice, according to st. Paul, is
perpetual, as in contrast with that which is
variable and intermittent. 1t is holy" free
from any alloy of sin. 1t should be "pleas-
ing in the sight of God !" it is of no impor-
tance whether 1t be pleasing to ourselves or
not. Now this perfect service, so long, so
broad, and 50 high, is vet reasonable,
and one which heart in tune
with God would yield. In render.
ing it we should not be faithful
according to the standard of the world, The
apostle assumes that test of our faithful SER
vice is the performance of duties for which we
have no liking aud we are cautioned against
falling into the grudgng manner in which
our worldly tasks are often performed. We
can judge of what this religious obedience
| should be by considering how we bow to the
power of customs in dress.
How little real obedience there is in the
world to-day. How few sincerely mind, in
the comprehensive sense Of the word. Chill
dren obey, but do not mind; they do not
make the will Of the parent their own. In
the service of the Father we should make
| His will our own. This implicit obedience
| may be called one of the lost arts, and the
| lack of minding in the family is showing its
| influence in the church.
| Again. we must cultivate an appetite for the
good and hcalthful in moral as we'll as physi
cal life. The body prostrated by disease
must take food as 1t is prescribed, not as {
capricious appetite may dictate, but that later
during approaching health, the appetite may
| be fully trusted.
So the seeker after spiritual health mus
first take the remedies prescribed by Godt
will, and as he approaches the divine life anC
health his own inclinations may be more
safely indulged, for duty becomes pleasure
and the service of God will be his greatest
enjoyment.

LUTHER AND THE REFORMATION

NINTH LECTURE BY REV. DIR. DoMER AT ST.
PAUL's CHURCH.
Rev. s. Domer ID. d., delivered his ninth
lecture on Luther last evening at St. Pauls
church. In referring to the recent centenary
celebration, ho said there is no parallel in
human history to that which has just taken
place i'll honoring the birth of Luther Per-
haps not territory of the worlds civilized
people but had this name in grateful
mention during tho week that is
past, among Protestant peoples and
nations, of course. kilograms from every
country and climate reported tho universal
memorial honors with which his memory has
been crowned, On tine territories of the Greek
church, Mt st. Petersburg and Constantinople,
Paris, Madrid, Seville, the celebration was
observed In Rome itself, hard by the vat-
can, men gathered to do honor to him who
had said 20 pope, living will be thy plague
dying / will be thy DEATH" When Luther
burned the bull of Leo X the number of
Protestants in the world was zero; now they
number more than 100,000,000 Rome then
governed the world. Now under the Romish
government there are about 1S0,000,000 and
under Protestant 4S0,000,000. The scene in
our church last Sunday was but an epitome of
the universal celebration. Protestants, Ro-
manists, Jews, and Gentiles, representatives
from score of natiOnalities on the platform
and in the pews Germans, English, Irish,
| Scotch, NOrwegians Swedes, Danes, French,
Italians, and Americans all gathered under
| the inspiration of the same occasion. Pro-
tcstantism has unfured the banner of the
open Bible and the doctrines of salvation on
every hill top Of the civilized world, and you
hear the stirring busle notes calling to new
advances all along the line, and Christ must
rise in his supremacy.
