DR.. CARROLL AT THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
Yesterday morning there was another
large congregation, every pew being filed, at
the Presbyterian church. The services were
particularly acceptable, the choir adding
much to the interest. DR.. Carroll took as
his text, 1 Cor, XIII, 8, ave Know In Part. +"
All truth, whether natural or revealed, Is
surrounded by mystery. In nature mys-
terry is only fact that is unexplained; in
revelation mystery is only truth that is I'M
expanded; we may know a thing
true it is. st. Paul sets forth
earthly life as a condition Of mingled Ger
taintirs and mysteries wherein In regard
of much truth we can say we know 1t, yet
because of our tintude we know it only in
part. The speaker furnished many illustra-
tons of this thought and fact in nature and
revelation. Among the matters Of absolute
knowledge Is, we know there Is a God; the
arguments from cause and effect are certain
and absolute. Again, we know that the
Bible is His revelation of his character. his
will, bis way. The speaker here alluded at
length TO His volume Of Rev citation, empha-
sizing that IL was a segregated book, book
indestructiGle, and il by suppOstion destruc-
tibe, rendering US ignorant Of God, of the
world, Of the race, of present. and future
destiny, IL would deprive US OF religion, un-
people heaven and restore to Death his crown
Of terrOrs. II is also inexhaustible, self
perpetuating, triumphant over all the assaults
Of infdelity, Of sweeping univer-
salty Of influence, a royal book, a mirror Of
divinity, the rightful regent of the world.
We also know that we are immortal, decreed
to eternity, candidates for crowns Of glory,
or of shame and everlasting contempt.
DIR. DUNN AT THE w. z CHURCH.
A full church greeted DR.. Dunn yesterday
morning at the ". E. church, who delive red
an excellent discourse from Col. |, "a,
"Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you,
and Gil up that which IS behind Of the sffiic-
tons OF Christ in my flesh for his body's
sake, which IS tue church, Paul ia here re-
ferring TO the suaerings Of the Christian
minister incident 10 his calling, only 70
bring ont the unity Of the nature Of the
sufferer with the Divine sufferer.
First. In this passage he shows that suffer
ing IL an outcome Of SHINING. The mis-
cries, pOverties, troubles Of this city are the
direct results Of sin. II SIN had never eI-
listed believe suffering would be unknown.
Second. Here we have room for redeem
er. Christ came for this purpose, To remove
suffering by removing sin. Sin was the
enemy He sought to destroy. And 50 we
find Christ taking upon himself the suffer
ings which are consequent upon SHINING TO
bring Ia back 10 God. This suffering Of
Christ was different from mau's; u was
stOniDg and vicariOus. The largest part OF
mans suffering fell upon Christ, As 10 mans
place before The Law. His suferiugs were
found IN direct aDtsgonism with sin, and He
also, having had physical suffering, died
natural or pbysicIl death.
And with all that Christ has endured Of
toll and suffering and seif-deDial. this text
would indirsie yet measure Of Chrisps SUI
fcriugs which IT is the privilege Of the church
10 bear. TIE church must suffer in her
practice Of self-deuisl. S3e Il prosecuted for
the sake Of righteousness. There is iDdiyid-
uzl. personal conflict, and suffering. There
is mental grief, and pezrt struggles Of which
every Christian kuOTs. Al these are the
filing up Of that which IA left By the Attic
lions Of Our risen and aseeDded Lord. This
zord + the arena q human struggles and
suffering. Let the Christian peOrl VI our
