The New Covenant.

"Thc New Covenant" was the subject of
the sermon preached yesterday morning
at the Church of the Yahveh by the pastor,
the Rev. l.. Osler. The text was taken
from Hebrews viii. 7-13.
The Rev. Mr. Osler spoke rs follows:
cit is among the singular facts Of our day
that questions which were supposed TO
have been settled years ago are constantly
being revived again. The question TO us
is, are we living in the old covenant or in
the new, or partly in the old aud partly in
thencw?
"The first covenant was the law of the
Ten Commandments The new covenant
means the gospel in all its fullness. There
is no human being who was ever saved by
the law, because IL does not contain any
revelation of righteousness If the law is
kept it must be by observing the cove
nant.
The new covenant was made and con-
firmed at the time of the incidents re-
corded in the ninth chapter of Daniel.
The parties 10 the covenant are all who
are willing 20 accept the terms-to accept
the Lord, Jesus Christ. That we may
keep this covenant the Lord requires that
we repent and believe In Jesus Christ.
The blessings Of the new covenant are
many. la giving this covenant Jesus
Christ meant 60 make revelation of the
mysteries Of the revelation OF Himself; the
revelation of the mysteries in regard TO
the Gentiles: 20 give the universal pro-
clamation OF pardon; the possibility Of

Lecture on "WashIncton.~

William Makepeace Towle delivered a
lecture at Bell Street Chapel yesterday
afternoon on Washington and the Heroes
of the Revolution After describing
some of the incidents of the war Prof.
Towle said that the generals in our army
comprise four classes-first, those of Eng
lish birth as Gates; second, those Ameri-
cans who had seen service in the French
and Indian wars rs Washington; third,
those foreigners who left their countries
10 fight on the side OF freedom, as DE kalb,
Steuben, Rochambeau, Lafayette and
Kosciusko; fourth those of American
birth whose first knowledge of war was
gained in the Revolution. as Greene, Stark
and SCHUYLER.
The lecturer then dwelt briefly on the
history of the life of each of the prominent
commanders in the American army and
then came TO the subject of Washington
and his greatness. He said that while
travelling in Italy he came across beau
tifTil bust of George Washington enclosed
in "A small recess surrounded by an iron
fence. Thus far does the fame of the
Father of our Country penetrate. Wash
ington's memory is held in deep venera-
tion all over Europe, and stands as not
only the foremost American but as perhaps
the greatest among modern characters.
And what is IL that gives to Washington
that pre-eminence His was not of
liberal mind, nor was he broad in his
ideas and education. lie had flrey, inn
impetuous temper which sometimes got
the better of him, and he could upbraid
anyone on whom his displeasure fell with
great violence. But his character was uu-
assailable, he was man who inspired
everyone with the idea that he could be
trusted. There were undoubtedly more
capable generals in the patriot army than
he, yet no one was ever deceived by his
motive lie was not like Caesar, whose
enemies claimed that he wished a crown,
for though he could have been supreme
dictator of this country he even refused a
third election TO the presidency and re-
tired to private life. He was the only
great figure in history who showed by his
conduct after his ends were achieved that
ne was inspired solely by patriotism and
not at all by desire for personal glory
Truly he is the grandest figure that ever
marked an epoch, the greatest and most
sublime patriot that ever lived.

the devil and his angels" AS in the per-
sonality of the devil the speaker said that
of four things we were certain: That at
the time of Christ the Jews believed in the
personality of the devil; that Christ sane
toned tins belief; that His deciples sus-
tanned His teachings and that the early
fathers Of the church taught the same
doctrine. He said he would not attempt
TO say where the devil came from. Not as
TO his personality, he was not in doubt nor
that he had prepared place for
himself and his kind. Here all
will go who have not the love
of Christ in their hearts They would not
be happy anywhere else" AS TO the in
habitants of hell he referred 10 Rev. xxi;

minister Unitarian Church from H. Kings
" H.: Now, Naaman, captain of the host
OF Syria, was "A great man with his mas
ter, and honorable, because by him the
Lord had given deliverance into Syria; he
was also mighty man in valor, but he
was a leper."
Naaman GAINED his renown while n

severance it must have required 10 have
risen to eminence under such circum-
stances.
Centuries later, the great prophet. Paul
passed through similar experience. He
mad, as he himself says, thorn in the
flesh. What il was we do not know, but
yet, notwithstanding it, Paul accom-
plished great and lasting results.
Naaman and Panl had all the greatness
of resignation, but they also had the cour-
age TO persevere. Who can tell when OBJ
stac]es will come in our paths They will
certainly come at some time, There are
things which even God cannot do but He
gives us the strength TO endure trouble
The consciousness of power comes only
from overcoming obstacles. We must pit
ourselves against an opposing force to
know our real strength. Hindrances are,
after all, of priceless value in the develop

We cannot hope for perfection but we
can learn TO appreciate good qualities
wherever they may be found. There is
none good but One, and that is God Let
