THE NEW ST. PAUL'S.

The auditorium of the rev st. Paul's
church, in this city, will be occupied for
the first time, next Sunday, Feb 26. We
present above fue engraving Of the
costly and beautiful editcs, which
has been over year iii building.
The following will serve as a general
sketch of what will be generally regard
ed as one of the most novel and beauti-
ful churches in the West.
The exterior will be at once recognized
a departure from most modern churches,
as there Is no tower feature, but the effect
is produced by rich tiled "1antern" rus
ing from four spacious arches forming
the center or cruciform part OF the inter
ior of the church. In the roof of this
lantern, above the clerestory windows, are
dormer windows, producing g rich light
among the truesed construction Of the
lantern root The exterior of the lantern
is formed of terra Gotta and nodded brick,
the roof or red terra Gotta tile, and the
roof of the building red slate. The main
facade is a rich gable pierced by small
windows. A porrieo or porch effect is
produced by two square projecting
porches With semi-circular vestibule be-
tween, pierced boy small windows, and Sc
cured against the man gable wall Of the
church. THIS vestiDuie has the appear
auce OF bsptistry and Is spacious and
handsome 10 the interior.
To the south Of the main building is q
clustered entrance extending back to the
chapel, which st and5 in the rear Of the
church. The main entrance has heavy
rock-faced arches, carried on dwarf col
umns resting upon high massive foun-
dation. The chapel in the rear OF the
church CONSISTS of a nave and two aisles.

great lusts. There are thousand in
itluences that tend to awaken in young
men unwarrantable ambitions. These
temptations are in the world and l say
to young men and women, begin early
and zealously to educate yourselves
into Christian character. You cannot
afford to be Indifferent. You cannot
afford to be lazy at this point. 1t should
be matter of perpetual solicitude,
care, watchfulness and prayer. hold
it to be exceedingly dangerous to teach
in such way that the impression shall
be gained among men, that man can
go on in wickedness fer a period of
years, and then be converted in a reviv-
al meeting, at lightning flash, in such
way that all the wickedness that was
in his soul before shall be burned up,
root and branch. Ihold if man is wick
ed for forty years and is then converted
he must pay for his wickedness by
watch and toll, and learn late in life
the lessons that he ought to have
learned earlier. l have little respect
for that teaching that creates the i'm
preston in the minds of men that a
man who formed wrong ideas for forty
years can in an instant, in the twinkling
of an eye, be taken out of such wicked
ness and put into holiness. Christ
formed in man is one thing and the
formation process is another thing. A
man adorned with noble thoughts, with
magnificent passages of experiences,
with all heroism of feeling, with divine
friendships, with taste, with refinement,
with benevolence, with great hopes
and a sublime faith and joys-a man
building within himself household of
pure thoughts, noble aspirations, holy
endeavors and divine commerce cannot
realize them at once. Such an accom-
plishment comes by birth pains, by
labor throes, by watchfulness through
years and years. But the glory of it is
worth all it costs by way of self-denial
and cross bearings. Men are not per-
fected yet. Men are dwarfed, and we
give hundred reasons why this is so.
We are born at the bottom, and life is
too short for perfection. There is an
other land-blessed be the name of our
God, BY and by we shall be translated,
and we who have been as seeds long
buried, but now thrown up to sight,
will begin to move with new life, and
we shall go on from birth until God
says it is finished. But let US begin to
work out character that shall ennoble
us here and make us blessed hereafter,

" WHAT MUST DO TO BE SAVED?"
BY REV. GEO. b. STOCKING.
Peoria. I'D

TReport of a recent sermon in the Bradley
Memorial Church.
"What shall [ do to be saved ?'' is
the question of all questions. 1t has
reference to the life that now is, and to
the life that is to come. You cannot
answer this Interrogation intelligently
until you are decided as to what you
are to be saved from. You are instruct
ed as to salvation from sickness, from
ignorance and poverty. Observe the
laws of health and you are saved from
sickness. Apply yourself in all those
ways that will insure liberal educa-
ton and you are saved fIOm ignorance.
Conform to the rules Of supply and de-
mand, observe economy and walk in the
paths of thrift, and you will reap nat
ural prosperity. Salvation in the lower
spheres of life comes by attention to
the rules that control 10 those spheres,
by self-denial, watchfulness and care.
Coming to the sphere of religion we
ind that Two and widely differing
answers have been given to the ques-
tion, What shall l do to be saved =?
These answers are based upon two
widely differing views of man, as he
commences his life upon these shores.
One class of men will tell you that man
began his career upon this earth in a
state of perfection; that ne was seduced
by Satan; that he fell from his original
perfection, and, by the fall, lost COM
munion with God was subjected to all
the evils of this life, and in the world
to come everlasting separation from the
presence Of God, aud most grievous
tOIments in soul and body, without in
termission, in hell fire forever. 1t is
also taught that our first parents being
the root of all mankind, the guilt OF

central principle and law of the divine
government; then all evil, all thes g
present inequalities of outward condi-
tion, all these dark days, these bitter
experiences, the misfortunes which
smite us, the sad memories which cling
to US, all the divine dealings, the heavi-
est retributions-all must have benev-
olent intent and ministry, and contrib
ute to the accomplishment of the
mighty purpose of Him who will swal-
low up death in victory, and wipe the
tears from off all faces. Here is the
eXplication Of all that is dark and mys
terious in the ways and dealings of
God. Could the faith of DIR. Barnes
have held this in it's embrace, and so
made it the rock for his feet amid the
stormy sea around him, he never would
have had cause to cry out in the bitter
ness of his despair, " All is dark, dark,
DARK to my soul, and cannot disguise
it," He could see no light whatever

come into the world and many must
suffer forever. But for binding, tor
turing theology, against which his heart
was in perpetual rebellion, he would
have rejoiced in believing that in all
that comes to us in the darkest of life's
mysteries, there is wise and gracious
purpose; therefore, all will end we'll
all is now for the best, or God would
not permit it to be. Here only is light,
and rest, and consolation. The end for
which we were created, the end for
which Jesus lived and died, the end for
which all discipline has been ordained,
shall finally be reached and in the
cloudless morning land, where wander
ings shall cease, and all tears be wiped
away, and weary hearts shall ache no
more, we shall look back and see that
there has not been one useless pang Of
suffering, not dark day too many, not
an outcast life over which God has not
kept loving watch, and that all that
has come to us, all bitter as well as
happy experiences, have wrought for
our eternal glory and joy

NOT ATHEISTS.
BY REV. JACOB MERRIFIELD.
tPlainfield, III

There are not so many atheists in the
world as we sometimes think. When
men deny what we say of God we are
apt to call them atheists, while if the
whole truth were known, they may be
no more such than ourselves. No one
is altogether wholly disposed to ignore
and deny the divine existence. Natural
and truthful views of the eternal life
and mind in all and through all, COM
mon sense conceptions of the relation
of all forms of life to the one infinite
life invite and urge the soul to faith.
Rational and sensible views of the
supreme power as the life of our life,
the mind of our mind, the soul of our
love-the all in which our individual
being subsists-never repel the pure
and natural mind within US from faith
in God, but always move us with emo
tions of love and trust toward Him as
indeed the All Father.
When God is thus truly brought to
mind with us, when false notions are
cleared away and the pure truth of
nature and of God in nature is made
apparent, we own the presence of an
eternal spirit in all being, and we
realize that the very sanctuary of his
presence is within us. Men incline to
denial of the divine existence only as
God is falsely represented to them, or
as they falsely conceive of him, through
the unnatural character in which he
has been in times of universal ignor
ance depicted by the priests and teach
ers who have assumed to speak in the
name of God. Plato, the greatest phil
Osopher of his time, said: q would
rather men should say that no such
person as Plato ever existed, than that
he was a wicked man." Doubtless he
meant that he would rather not have
existed than to have made wickedness
a permanent characteristic of his life.
What was thus in Plato's mind is
doubtless, too, in the mind of every
sincere thinker. "Better think of me
as non existent than to think of me
as a malignant being :" every such soul
would say, as l would rather not be
than to exist with purely malignant
character" The principle is just and
good. 1t applies in the consideration
of the divine existence as well as in
that of the human; and so we may
justly say; Rather think of no God
at all than to conceive of the Deity as
being of infinite revenge and cruelty"
Phe caricature of God logically in
vOlved in the creeds makes him appear
to thousands of rational minds as a
being of infinite malignity-as the very
all of supreme seldshness, existing and
doing only for his own pleasure and
glory, and enjoying the endless perveT-
sity and suffering of some souls with
