by Rev. c. +. W. Hubbard. Rev. Frank
F.. Healey preached a very able. practical
sermon which was listened 10 with close
attention throughout. His text was from
Heb. XII, l-3. In the crowded state Of
our columns we can give nothing like a
synopsis of this excellent sermon. 1t was
a plea for Christ methods in the battle of
life, methods which should control the ac-
tons everywhere. He said: l maintain
that religion is not designed especially for
an occasion, Is not question OF how
particular day shall be observed, is not
question OF times and seasons, of modes
and forms in worship, but it is q question
relating to the spirit that is animatinG and
guiding US, and designed for all occasions.
care very little indeed for that mans re-
ligion who Is not as careful and conscien-
tious in his business and in his political &C
ton, in his office and counting room and
shop, In his party methods and at the polls,
as in his church on Sunday and at his devo-
tons at home. Do you think man who
is sly and cunning, deceptive and untruth
full in seeking party ends is an example and
a Godfearing, humble, fair-souled chris
tian gentleman in some other department
of his nature than that he exhibits to the
world? When can man manifest his re-
ligion If not In the activities Of life and
where he takes hold upon practical work?
Religion is designed especially for men en-
gagged in carrying on the worlds business
affairs, and is to guide them that they may
go right. 1t is not concerned about the
way we worship, but the way we live. I
am man Of peace. long for the coming
of that day foreshadowed by the angelic
host as they sung at Jesus birth, Peace
ON earth good will To men, Rut the day.
