Sermon on Board the Tennessee.

Rev. Donald McLaren, the chaplain sta
toned on board the U. S. flagship Tennessee
held divine services yesterday morning, on
board the Tennessee. A pulpit had been
erected on the port side of the gun deck,
from where Chaplain McLaren preached
very interesting, as well as beneficial sermon
to large number of officers and sailors, who
had come to listen to the preaching of the
gospel of Jesus Christ. The service was
opened with the singing of the Doxology,
the Tennessee's brass band accompanying
the singers. After prayer had been offered
the old, familiar and beautiful hymns were
sung-"Just as am, without one plea" and
Lord Jesus, long to be perfectly whole, y
with that beautiful chorus, "Wash me and
shall be whittier than snow" Chaplain Nc
Laren selected the text for his excellent ser
mon from the Goth verse of the 9th chapter
of Mark; "For Herod feared John, know
ing that he was just man and an holy, and
observed him; and when he heard him he
did many things and heard him gladly"
This Herod, known in history by the SUI
name of Antipas, was the son Of the bloody
and tyrannical Herod who reigned as King
of the Jews when Christ was born. Antipas
was. a fit type of the degenerate age in which
he lived, yet God gave even to him his oppor-
tunity when he brought him under the inf1u-
ence of that dauntless preacher of righteous
ness, John the Baptist. Deep was the inn
preston made. The ruler was con-
strained to render homage to the
character of the just and holy man.
He listened gladly to his preaching, and
while the penitent mood lasted he did many
things, "-abandoned perhaps some of his
sins and seemed visibly entering upon
purer life. But all came to naught when the
heroic preacher summoned him to forsake
the fragrant sin that stained his life. How
tragic the end in which he appears as the
ruthless murderer of Gods saint by mes
senger
The lessons drawn were that men should
beware of superficial religious impressions.
That preaching fails which does not make
the nearer new creature The episode in
Herod's life also teaches the peril of beset-
ting sin. We must give up every sin and
follow Christ with perfect heart.
The service was concluded with prayer
and the singing of hymn.
In the afternoon the usual large crowds of
people visited the ships of the fleet, and
everybody felt highly pleased at having
spent an excellent afternoon.
