The Earthly and Heavenly House.

Rev. p. II. Wylle, of Mercer county, O.,
occupied the pulpit yesterday morning and
afternoon at the Central Reformed Presby-
terian Church, Allegheny. The congrega-
ton at both meetings was unusually large.
The subject at the morning discourse was:
"Intcrcession of the Spirit and in the
afternoon he preached on ''The Earthly and
Heavenly House" He took his text from
IL Corinthians, v, l. The sermon was a
comparison Of the earthly house, the inhab-
itantst of which are diseased. The founda-
tion of the earthly house is sand and the
material unsubstantial The occupants of
the earthly house, he said, are under arrest
and destined to die and decay. He dis
crlbed the heavenly home, or city, as free
his description from the twentv-irst chapter
of Revelations. and explaining the lessons
it taught,

PURITANS AND POLITICIANS
Dwe1r Upon by Rev. George Hodges in Hi
Second Series Lecture.

Second Series Lecture.
tPuritans, Prelates and Politicians" the
second of the series Of lectures on the "Pur-
itan Revolution by Rev. George
Hodges, was delivered at Calvary P. E.
Church last night. The period of
which he spoke was at the be-
ginning of and during the seven
teenth century. 1--WE followed the history
of the Puritans up to about the time of
King James, in our last lecture" said he.
"At this time the Puritan element was in
power The king was in those days the
most important person in the country, and
the religious attitude of the people was the
same as that of the king. When James
came from Scotland and assembled the En-
glish throne great efforts were made by
both the Puritans and by the Established
Church to have him declare in favor of their
particular sides.
''The Puritanism of Scotland differed
greatly from the Puritanisn of England. 1t
was more radical, more extreme in its de-
mands. James, coming from the throne of
Scotland, was not prejudiced in favor of the
Puritans, and decided in favor of the
Church of England. This at once solidifed
the forces on both sides, and there being a
sort of partnership between the King and
the Church, Puritanism began also to
assume a political aspect, and the unpopular
courses adopted and pursued by James had
the effect of strengthening the Puritan
cause The next lecture is entitled, "The
Policy of Thorough"

THE PERSONALITY OF CHRIST
Taken as a Topic by David McAlIister, Jr.,
YESTERDAY Afternoon.

David McAllistcr, Jr., theological stu
dent who is training for the Covenanter
pulpit, and son of his distinguished father
of the Eighth Street Church, yesterday
preached twice at the Allegheny Reformed
Presbyterian Church The afternoon dis
course was q dissertation upon the
personality of Christ-His birth, life,
death and resurrection. Taking l. Corin-
thians, XVIII for his text, he branched
out into a general discussion of the subject
of the resurrection of the dean, explaining
Pauf's words in this chapter as he under
stood them. He accepted the testimony of
Paul as conclusive evidence that Christ did
indeed rise from the dead. The resurrec-
tion of Christ as fundamental to the Chris
tian faith was the main theme of his sermon.
He drew word picture of the women at
Christ's tomb, the strong Roman guards, the
rolling away of the stone, and the resurrec-
tion. He explained the resurrection as es-
sential as a proof of the incarnation. Re
citing the familiar story of ChriSt's humble
birth, the strange appearance of the Star of
Bethlehem, and the journey of the wise men,
the young minister said that it was neces-
sary for Christ to take upon Himself the
form of sinful man, that mankind might
comprehend and understand HIM.
"He knew" said Mr.. McAllister, call
that We know of suffering and sorrow here,
and can sympathize with us. 1t was
Christ's human body that arose, for His
divinity could not die. 1t was His true
human body, greatly glorifed. His resur-
rection is the evidence of His atonement.
God permitted Christ to become man, suffer
in the flesh, and to be hung to the accursed
tree, with a broken heart, that we might
live" BY way of illustration young Mr..
McAllister repeated the chorus of the song
of John Browns Body" conclud-
ing that He whose body lay but
three days in the ground would go
marching on forever. He concluded by say
ing that Christians were fighting for crown
of glory to be taken home with Him.
Though the audience was not large, the
young minister was listened to with great
interest. Prof. wilson occupied a seat back
of the pulpit, and assisted in opening the
meeting.

ALL SURRENDERED TO GOD.
Jacobs Vow Taken as the Text of Rev.
A. Judson Kings Sermon.

Jacobs Vow Taken the Text of Rev.
A. Judson Kings Sermon.
A small congregation listened to very
good sermon by Rev. A. Judson King, pas
tor of the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church, at
their temporary meeting place in the Fifth
avenue market house, last evening.
Jacobs Vow was the subject of the dis
conrse, and the text was taken from Genesis,
xviii. ''The shrewd management of his
mother, and Jacobs own act of decep-
tior,'' said Rev. Mr.. King, chad created
rumpus in the old patriots home. Esau,
enraged and outraged, pursued his
brother, to take his life. Hence
j acobs hurried leave of home.
Tired and worn out at night, he laid down
to sleep. His inner self saw a vision and
heard voice. He then made the vow,
'The Lord shall be nv Cod The vow is
made in an hour of trouble, in the midst of
danger, and all is surrendered to God"
The beautiful new eGifce of Rev. Mr..
Kings congregation, being erected above
Dinwiddie street on Fifth avenue, is rap
idly approaching completion. 1t is being
erected as memorial to the late Rev.
William Shadrack, D. D., and it is ex-
pected that it will be dedicated within
three months. 1t is being built of stone at
a cost of $4,000, and is of attractive de-
sign.

JOAB'S LIFE AND DEATH
The Subject of Rev.Dr. Cowan's Interesting
Discourse Last Evening.

Discourse Last Evening.
"Joab's Stormy Life and Tragic Death"
formed tie subject for q very interesting
discourse by Rev. Dr. E. P. Cowan, at the
Third Presbyterian Church, last evening.
The pastor found text for his sermon in
l. Kings H.: 30-"And Benaiah came to the
tabernacle of the Lord and said unto him;
Thus saith the King, come forth. And he
SAID, Nay, but L will die here. And Be-
naiah brought the King word again, saying,
Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me- :"
awe study the lives of other men," he
said, $50 that we can see what they have
done, and, if successful, emulate their
examples; if they have failed we
can avoid their mistakes" Mr..
Cowan then described an old, white
haired, weather-beaten man kneeling at
an altar in tent or house near where
Jerusalem now stands. In the doorway
stood an armed warrior commanding to
come forth. ''Nay," replied the old man,
'murder me if you will, but die here"
This was Joab, the captain of the armies of
his uncle, King David, to whom he was
always loyal
The murderous career of Joab was fully
related and the many good points in his life
were commended. History, the pastor
thought, had not done Joab justice. His
was a character as strong as the king, at all
times, and stronger when there were great
difficulties to encounter. Without approv-
ing OF apoligozing for the life of Joab, the
pastor said that if man was to die with
sins it is better that he should die holding
on to the Altar of God. The lesson of the
sermon was that when men see it is all over,
and that they must die, they begin to look
toward God s
