TNlRD EDITION.


Rev. Adam Stengle preached q short
sermon 10 Union ii. Z. Church on SuN-
day morning, from the lat Psalm, show
ing the blessing enjoyed by Gods people
and the misery OF the uDgodly. He re-
marked when persons reached the scoin-
ful state, their case is we'll nigh HOPELESS
He therefore advised every one to avoid
sitting In the seat OF the teorner. One
OF the surest signs OF religious decay is
TO sit a. far back in the church as posi-
BILE. AL should get us near the altar
De possible. The persons who can sit in
the back part Of the church constantly
and maintain their integrity deserve q
great deal OF credit.
II might be warm enough in regard TO
the temperature, but usually the back
part Of the church WAS rather cold spirit
ually He remarked that q real chris
tian life ia one Of the most happy ima-
gir able, while little religion mig ht make
the possessor slck. He compared those
with little religion to coast>rs, which
were liable 10 be wreckek. The proper
way was to get out In deep water, and
thea avoid the rocks and dangers that lie
near the shore.
Those who were constantly inquiring
what they could do and not sin, were very
apt to fall aud cease to enjoy the promises
III dc to the faithful. He urged all to
great wa,c hfulness, TO use all the means
OF grace, and thus avoid the pitfalls that
beset the feet OF the Needless and unwary.
The sermon was short and to the point,
aud the hints thrown out II acted on may
do much good. After the sacrament aud
the usual closing services, the congreea-
ton was dismissed by tie prOnouncement
Of the be. ediciion.
