SUNDAY SERMONS.
Evangelist fiaug at the s'resby-
terrain Church.

itS'' -'i' i'"uS, NiO occupied tliG
pulpit of the Presbyterian church
unday, Eo.h morning and evening,
preached two earnest and instructive
S sr,nons. In the morning he began
wi h The story OF Moses, his childhood |
and rearing by his own mother, under
Pharoh's daughter, tracing his career
as the deliverer OF his people. Forum
ate We're his oppressed people to have
such q deliverer, but we have a deliv
e er who mslles no dist notion be-
tween nations; he offers to be deliv |
erer of the whole world The only
condition he asks is our acceptance.
In starting out in life young person,
consciously or not, selects leader and
a model but all leaders and models of
character chosen from human kind
are imperfect. With Christ as the
leader and example we have the per-
feet type. Another idea brought out
was that the Creator commits lives to
our care. They are pure and clean
when committed 10 Us end We have
the power OF wrecKing them or fash
Joining them after our great example.
Ii is part of life TO be moral and pay
our honest debts, but it is not the
whole OF it. Something more is re-
quired. The quaker bought the ne
gress froin the auction block and set
her free. telling her she belonged 10 no
one but her creator. Christ ransoms
us from the auction block of sin, and
like the poor slave did the quaker, we
should take him at his word. The
sermon abounded in other smiles Of
equal clearness and force. Mr.. Haus
isa plain speaker and earnest, employ
ing the force of simple language aad
pointed figures Of speech.
