MIR. Peploe's Last Sermon Here.
Rev. Prebendary II. Webb-Peploe, Of
London, who has been on visit to MS
son. Mr.. j. II. Wehb-Peploe, of this
city, left last evening for Washington,
having greatly impressed the people of
Richmond by the power Of his preaching
and his elo1uence. on Sunday morning
he delivered an able sermon at ST. Pauls
church. His audience was q large and
fashionable one, and the distinguished
divine selected as his text the following
lines taken from the song OF Zachariah:
THAT He would grant unto US that
we. being delivered out Of the hand OF
our enemies, might serve him without
fear. I'm holiness and righteousness be-
fore Him. all the days of our life Mr'
Peploe dwelt on the certainty that,
as God demanded perfect service, He had
made such service possible. As our Fa'
Their He would not demand OF US the i'm
possible The preacher proceeded 10
show how this was possible by iustfica-
ton and sanctifcation. He defined these
two terms most clearly and carefully.
justification, he said. was Gods accept
ance Of us. Sanctifcation, our accept
ance of God. The former was perfect
act. because God. being perfect accepted
a perfect Justification of us In Christ, but
sanctification was not perfect In this
life. because he could not perfectly ac-
ccpt God.
ON Sunday night Mr.. Peploe preached
to a large Concourse Of people AZ Holy
Trinity church. His theme was the
right Of God TO claim the service OF
his people. The minister spoke Of the
diversions which Christians allow them
selves, and said that any form Of amuse-
ment in which Il minister Of the Gospel
could not indulge could not be INDUCED
in by one Of Gods children. Tn dis
course was earnest and forceful through
out.
