SURGEONS SERMON.
Rev. Mr.. Spurgeon yesterday
preached o powerful sermon on tho
pose j by the Pail Mall Gazette during
the past week. Mr.. Spurgeon took for
his text the 18th verse, 2nd chapter Of
the Epistle of Paul to the Romans,
which he quoted in defense OF the Pail
Mall Gazette's work in making
It's revelations. Paul, so the
preacher said, felt 1t necessary to men
tio.l the hideous vices Of tho heathens
and left on record an exposure OF the
sin of his day, which crimsoned the
cheek Of the modest when they read
ebomination OF the age, almost past
in inalI this iH World IA' for both men
and nations. Assyrla, Babylon,
Persia, Rome and Egypt were empires
of oppression and cruelty and full OF
iniqulty. When the sin of these peo-
pie could no longer be tolerated, then
they were wiped of the face OF the
earth. Thus of nations, but no one
could tell what hloodsheddlng and suf-
fering came upon men for their iniqui-
ties.
"Why should London" exclaimed
Rome? What is there about
our boasttul race on this or the other
side OF tho Atlantic that we should
monopolize Gods favor. God will
Judge mems secret sins, too vile to be
spoken of, and which would cause the
nation to shudder if dragged, as they
ought to be, into the daylight.
The deeds of night, OF
the closed room, done 3i when ,na
act committed which must never DO
mentioned, lest the man himself be
regarded as an outcast, abhorred even
ofhis ellow-sinners-all, oil shall be
revealed. AL that We have, for
our own comfort, blinded our
eyes to and averted our
gazes from, things inconvenient
to see, but it shall DC revealed. We
here make difference between the
hi hy1t
not. Every secret sin is secret only,
tie imagination. 1t is public be-
fore God. 1t is necessary tor
the courch to warn men OF what Will
happen If they continue in their sins,
and not keep them IN g false paradise,
until they shall be sent down to helps
damnation. 1t become every preacher
TO cry aloud and spare not one"
