The sermon preached by DR..
Mitchell on last Sabbath was one of a
regular series of beautiful subjects,
skiIIfully handled, and listened to
with intense interest by those so for
tunate as t. be present. The text
was 1.-THE Night is far Spent, the Day
is at Hand" That of the preceding
Sabbath was: 1.-THE Night COmeth."
There is an apparent discrepancy
between these texts, only in appear
ance however, as the day is repre-
scented as the time for work, night for
rest. In the latter the Apostle speaks
of two divisions of life; the present
and the future. The present life as
represented by night, the future life
by day. DIR. Mitchell showed in what
sense the present life may be called
the night. First, it is our time OF
| ignorance; this ignorance not only
extends to the works of God, but to
the Providence Of God, and to our life
beyond the grave. I'VE know not
described -as the time for sleep.
They that sleep, sleep in the night"
| Many sleep away the precious time
tgiven them to prepare for eternity
the sermon contained a beautiful
| illustration of this. A boat is drifting
down the Rapids of Niagara, and neal
ing the Falls, its unconscious occu'
pant sleeping away the precious mo-
| ments when rescue would be posi-
BILE, and awaking, alas just in time
to see but too laie to avert danger
He said with some, life was ali 9
slumber; varied it is true by dreams
and even occasional awakenings. In
the latter portion of the sermon 1.-The
day is at hand" we quote the speak
ers own words: "This word day sug-
gests many lively ideas of Heaven,
sunshine, brightness, beauty and
happiness; there would be no night
Ithere.n The sermon closed with q
powerful appeal to the sinner to
| awake from slumber, reject the mar
cotics offered by the world, for "The
day is at hand" To some it even
now cometh, to all, it must surely
come. y:
The Guild Of The Holy Child will
