SIGNS OLE THE TIMES.
Or. Gray Discourses on" The Coffin of
.s the Thirteen Club"

DIR. Gray Discourses on" The Comm OF
3. the Thirteen Club"
Rev. John Gray, rector Of the Church of
The Advent, preached at Metropolitan.
Temple last evening on rather peculiar
subject. namely: ~''The Ceiiin of the 'Thir-
teen Club" He chose for his text the first
chapter of ST. Paui's Second Epistle TO
Timothy and the first verse of the First
Psalm. =.
F." In.hs introduction the reverend gentle
man referred to the writer's of his text, and
said that they tell us what tile world is
without God. David was depraved and
licked, and brought down on himself and
kingdom the judgment of an outia aged God.
He spoke OF the last days OF Rome ard
royal Athens-tEose mighty powers. Their
citizens were lovers OF pleasures more thah
|. lovers of God, and they were doomed.
Coming down to our own time, he said
III L mistake not the signs of the times the
| last DAYS for this nation are not FAR OH
Opnlence has opened the way OF pleasures
such as no other times ever enjoyed
The senses have not been administered to as
III this land to-day. People are giving more
| aud more devotion 10 carnal pleasures ana
| less to God. Pleasure is the sum and end
Of a great many people now, and when
a whole nation turns to pleasure and ignores
| God, that nation Is doomed.
III liOiO p'hi kl'hlesAIy oh WV SR'S
ciai subject of his discourse, the rector said
that few days ago lie received a copy OF
the New York sun containing cut OF cot
| fin, with it the names Of thirteen members
of the Coffin Cluh," list OF California
wines and the couplet: Enjoy it while you
have your breath, there'll be no drinking
after death" These thirteen men, he said
| make Of the solemn fact Of death a mockery
They say TO the blear-eyed God of Pleasure,
I'VE salute thee" This, he thought, was
one of the signs of the times, Of the degrade
/ ton of the nation.
Not the thirteen alone, he said, are max
ing pleasure their idol-thouSands of church
| people are in the same boat. They are de,
| voting all their money to. the pursuit OF
| pleasure and ignoring God. HI conclasion,. he
entreated his hearers to love pleasure less
and God more; to devote some of thelI
means to the poor and needy, of:whom there
are. al ways plenty not to ignore God as the
Thirteen Club did, but to prepare them.
