UNITARIAN CHURCH.

UNITARIAN CHURCH.
DIR. Sheldon preached Sunday forenoon
from Luke xiv: Al. And that repentance
and remission Of sins should be preached in
His name among all nations.
The aim Of the discourse was to show
that repentance is the one and sole condi-
ton Of Gods forgiveness. The meaning of
repentance was first considered. and then
the connection with this of forgiveness.
Repentance, according to the import of the
word in the Greek, was said to be the after
mind or after-thought. Men are able to
think Of wha. they do, after doing il as well
as before. If their actions are known to be
wrong. they cannot avoid recalling them
This recalling gives all opportunity of re-
newediy judging them. This renewed
judgment accepted and carried into effect, is
repentance and it always leads to reforma-
ton. Rut no regrets and sorrows over the
past, in the absence of reformation, are re-
pentance. If wrong has been done to 9TH
ers, reparation, so far as is possible, is de-
manded. A man can repent only of his
own sins never of sins committed before
he was born, though he may suffer from the
sins Of Others
When any one thus repents, he so far puts
himself right, and has peace in his mind.
This peace in his own soul is the evidence
to himself that God forgives him. This
point was discussed at some length, and
several practical reflections were urged.

son, attorney for the messenger, stated
that he would make application that bail
be fixed at $4,000, as the evidence against
him was 30 meager and from
such an untrustworthy source. Judge
Normille stated he had no means OF
knowing the nature Of the evidence ex.

grand jury, and this he refused to do, and
as the amount stolen was 100000 he
thought 100000 bail would be not exces.

amount. The messenger could not
furnish the amount, and was remanded TO
