TEXT IN TIE BIBLE.
Chaplain Smith, of the Grand Army,
Tells His, Congregation W hat 1t Is.

1lih pam ~tlliIiI, OF lHtt bTuIlu ARMY
Tells His Congregation VI hat 1t Is
\ brief bat exceedingly instructive ser
mon was preached last night at the E
Street BAPTIST Church by the Rev. j. d.
Smith, chaplain OF the Grand Army of the
Republic He referfed to his text as one Of
the sweetest il. tae whole range OF Biblical
literature.
He neld that n visitor from heaven to
this world woHId not regard as anything
extraordinary the many things on which
men pride themselves, such IS natural
scenery, great cities, magnificent build
ings or works of art. He would probably
say that the most Interesting thing to him
in this world was the soul to be saved. This
thought the preacher found in the text that
the Son OF Man came into this world to
seek and save the lost.
The speaker applied this beautiful srnti-
ment to the duty of every day Christians,
and contended that it should still be the
object OF all the sons and daughters of the
church to do what they could in seeking
and saving, to carry the light OF hope and
faith wherever possible, and to extend to
those who knew it not or impractically,
The truth and consolation of life devoted
to the service of God.
