The Bible regards man in two ways, aud he
explained these st length. The heart is the
guide of man and sympathy comes direct
from it. Christian sympathy is the most
Christ. No man can feel as Christ fe1t, for
he lived and died for others. We give sym
pathy to those who heed it for his sake.
The speaker gave touching instances to illus
trate Christian sympathy. In concluding,
he said, "Let us come boldly unto the throne
of grace that we may obtain mercy and SYM
pathy."
REV. MIR. GOULD AT THE UNITED CHURCH.
Rev Mr. Gould, of Worcester, Mass, con-
Quoted the services in the Vnited church yes
terday. His text in the morning was from
Numbers, tenth chapter, twenty ninth verse,
which expressed the kind invitation given by
Moses to his brether-in-law to leave their
home for the promised land. The speaker
called attention to the marked distinction
between Ego" and ''eome," dwelling upon the
power of the social element in religion and
the fact that God has made all the
nations of the earth of his own
blood. Social interest joined with acts of
sympathy and kindness form an important
factor in revivals Of religion. Even the look
of kindness without words being spoken
has cheered the earthly Fife of many an one
and saved him for the life to come. Mr.
Gould related several touching instances of
this kind which illustrated the strong and
yet beautiful power of kindness. The dis
course was simple, yet powerful and helpful
The service of song by choir and congrega-
ton was animated and inspiring. Large
congregations were present both morning
and evening.
THE CHURCH OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
Mrs. Hanaford preached yesterday morn
ing in the Church of the Holy Spirit on the
text ''Show Us the Father" The revelation
of God must be such as will satisfy the in
tellect and the affections. God knows how
to meet the needs of the soul, and for this
purpose reveals himself in various ways The
Christian revelation is the best, though not
satisfactory in its early form. Christ's flock
has ever been large, and in time the parts
will form one great flock under shep-
herd. We can conceive of God as a power
and presence if we cannot apprehend him
as person. "God is Love" brings comfort
to the soul and there is no more holy shrine
at which to bow. How great is the revela-
ton of God in him who was ''The Word
Made Flesh" We shall rejoice in that reve-
lation of love and goodness that is eternal
and divine.
In the evening the subject was "Heaven
and He'll existing in this life and in the
life to come" Heaven existing as the re-
ward and companion of exec lence, and hell
forever the accompaniment of sin.
