Faat Day Sermon at the North Church by
 Rev. Dr. Harris of the Seminary.
 The Rev. Dr. Samuel Harris oficiated at the North church yesterday. preaching the Fast day sermon. The ubject of his dis course was "The Attractive Power of The Cross" He chose for his text John xii, 32, H'And I, if be lifted up, will draw all men unto me-" Christ uttered this after the crowd had welcomed him to Jerusalem, spreading palm leaves and garments in his pathway. Certain Greeks desiring an inter- view sought the mediation of two disciples, who informed their master of the strangers wishes. The reply of Jesus is not told, but 1t seems to have given occasion for this text. ''All men" here means not necessarily every individual, but men of all characters, nations and times. Nor does the text mean that men shall be drawn to Christ without their consent Men are not attracted like the planets by gravitation to given course. They choose the sweet persuasion of Gods love The power of the cross is a spirit ual force. The civilization of the old world all rested on force The Jews expected that the Messiah's kingdom should thus be built up. What tremendous temptation 1t must have been to Christ to use the force of the Jewish nation in throwing off the Roman yokel This, 1t seems to me, was the source of temptation in the wilderness. Satan shows him ''all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them, but Christ chose spiritual kingdom founded on truth and love, to bring men nearer to God This is the only possible renovation for society; it is the only civilization which can put an end to war and oppression. Christ adheres to this principle through all his teachings and life. It appeared even at Gethsemsne when he bade Peter put up his sword, for ''they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. That is in brief history of the whole world, and Christ's mission of redemption was to change it, to replace the reign of force with that of truth and love and the grace of God. He addresses all tn at is nobisst in men by the enunciation of this principle, thus making his method a contrast to more modern forms of persuasion. All history has justified his appeal He knew men, their capabilities and failures and sought to develop the former by victory over the latter. Christ sought to reveal the living God, and not system of doctrines. The love of God for man is the theme of his life. In preaching it he ever displays human ten- derness. Nov, do we feel this attracting power? God hasn't left the world; his spirit is with us still What can we do bat go to Jeshs and trust that love which seeks to bring us nearer to the presence of our God

Rev. DF. E4arVvOod's Sermon for Good
 FridHy-COnSecratiOn as a Sacrifice
 Timely Words On nm Important Sub-
 Jece.
 The morning service at Trinity church was attended by large congregation yesterday morning. The sermon was preached by the rector, Dr. Harwood, from the text found in the tenth chapter of Hebrews and ninth verse: ''Then sad he, To come to do thy will, o God. He taketh away the first that he may establish the second" The theme of the discourse was conservation as a sacrifice. Dr. Harwood said that there was no positive evidence as to the origin of sacrifice. It is lost in obscurity of prehistoric time As tribe after tribe and nation after nation emerges from the darkness of the past we find it recognizing sacrifice What is sacri- hce1 It is something which man gives to God either to thank him for past mercies and blessings, or to turn away wrath or secure favor. Among the Israelitish nation the whole sacrifcial' became 8 perfunctory thing. There was no idea of sanctity, of God. Msn offered sacrifices as they trans acted ordinary business This is why we find running through the Old Testame a tone of indignation on the part of God Sacrifices were something entirely disassocia- ted from all personal sense of holiness.
 The cross of Jesus Christ separated the old world ideas from the new worlds ideas. The suffering Jesus finds in our hearts response, aTakens feelings unknown to the old world There is great gulf between the old and the new. The idea is that God, instead of re quiring victim, seeks a consecrated soul, that men shall offer themselves as a living sacrifice which is our reasonable service. Christianity has lost much by not keeping this idea more prominently in the foreground. The sacrifice may bs said to consecrate man, the consecration of sacrifice is that it should be taken up from the idea of 8 victim. In his suffering, Christ gathered up the whole idea of that which makes human life grand and hopeful. On the cross Christ is 8 dis grseed man. Look at him as the Son of God offering up his life and all is transfg- ured.
 No better conception of life can be found than that which follows from this idea When you give up yourself to a cause or to 8 purpose, Jesus Christ has consecrated you We are to continue the spirit which Jesus Christ brought to life.
