The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1894-11-30

| This Rev. John ii. Howard, ID. d paste,
OF Asbury NJ. Il. Church. preached al
eloquent and mnsterly sermon yesterday
morning. The doctor seemed to have had
unusual liberty and freedom In his de-
| livery, and his discourse was of INTENSE
| Interest from beginning to the end. Ono
| pecultarity about the doctor, he Is slf,cere
In his convictions and fearless in express
ing his sentlments. Let the consequences
TO what they may. he Will spsak the
truth though the heavens fail.
The doctor chose for his text the Goth
v7rss ot the l41th Psalm. lie hath not
ueait 90 with any nation. and as for his
Judgments lhey have not known them.
Ihe doctor saii the text applied espeoially
70 the Jewish nation. as they are especially j
Gods chosen people. That whenever
thay were afflicted 1t was done In a man.
ner OF chastisement for their good. And
these light affections which they Suffered
worked out for them far more otsrpal
and exceeding weight OF glory.
They were not judgments but correc.
tions. In one instance after Israel had
gone astray tho prophet sald &C me, let us
reason together; though your sns be as
scarlet they snail be made as wool, though
they be rad as crimson they shall be made
white as snow.
The text also is applioi ible to US as
nation. We can see the gracious hand OF
providence In tho geographical condition
OF tnts country.H We study the map OF this

the United S.ates should be the mistress
oil tho sea. Why then are we not the mis-
tfes5 OF tho sea Simply because we have
not made use OF the appliances God has
given us. Our geographical condition
gives US a variety OF climate which no
other oountry possesses. Our peopio do
not suffer from intense heat nor from ex.
IRENE GOLD. as Ia the case In other coun.
tries. With our varied climate we have a
varied product, We are blessed with
resources. We have coal beds to last for
centuries, besides untold wealth In gold
and various other minerals.
Well may We say thou hast NOT welt so
with any people. The doctor said he was
n OF su rprlsed that the Pope OF Rome had
MS 9ye on this country and 1t was silly on
the part OF Americans to let the Roman
Catholic Church take possession of this
country that the church OF Rome would
rather have the United States than the
whole world just at present; for they
knew il they would got this country they
would get the rest. This Is known abroad
TO he the garden spot oil the worry. Be-
cause OF our wealth ard RESOURCES It Is
made the dumping ground OF, Europe.
Tao great danger that threatens our coun.
try to day .s tho higher archy of the Ro.
man Catholic Church. Ihs Police force
anu TIE Post oillce OF this city are under
the influence of Kome.
God designs US to be free christian
government. God has come in and ruled
In our behalf. We have not known his
Judgments, we have no reservoirs or an
Etna to Tear, We have no Pompeti or
Herculaneuni to exhume, because the
Lord has not dealt unkindly with us.
Epidemlos are not common In this Gil
mate. Cholera and yellow fever are I'm.
ported; not only disease but n.osJly all
devilment is imported. We should he the
repository OF truth, to send the gospel to
all tho world. France is Civilized ma.
tlon. but the most corrupt nation. BY
the teaching Of VoItairs hell was illumi.
mated and God was lost sight oil.
Now, 1t Is true they are trying to get
back again. But the ghost OF Voltaire is
ever popping up past goodness, and pres.
.ent greatness are no guarantee for the
future. II We depend on it we shall be
sadly disappointed.
The doctor said It was burning shame
that State as small as Della ware which
can hardly be seen on the map of tho
United States that It required SO much
money to carry the election that a seat In
the United States Senate would cost $780,.
600. III God docs not punish us it Ia
strange. He cautioned his mem bers to be
men and women after Gods own heart.
Ho hath not dealt so with any nation, and
as FOR eis Judgments they have not known
them. BE thankful for what We have been
and Tor what we might DO.
