FIRE THAT DOES not coysu ME.

Rev. DR.. Persons. OF Cazenovia, v Y,
breaches InstructiveIy on That Theme.
ANY bush that has God in it cannot be
consumed" -" This thought, suggested by the
story OF Moses and the burning bush, was de-
veloped in an admirable and instructive man
ner last night at the New York Avenue Pres
byterian Church by the Rev. Dr. r. Persons,
of CazenOyia. Mr.
After announcing his subject the speaker
instituted a parallel between the church OF
law. By which Moses was governed, and the
church of Gospel. which gave ST. Paul his IL
spiratioE the oLe learned in the lore OF the
Egyptians and the other taught at the feet OF
GGmaiel. The truth. however. was con-
veyed TO both by n condolences light from
heaven.
The lesson taught by the apparition cf the
burning bush was that the Jewish people
would rot be consumed. and that. metaphori-
caIy, any bush that has God IN it shall not
be consumed. Philosophers need give
themselves no fear ABOUT tue perpFtGity OF

added that the presence of these powers IS

NOT QUANTITY, But QUALITY.
Address of DR. Griffith, of Baltimore, TO
the Brotherhood of 81. Andrew.

Address of DR. Griffith, of Baltimore, to
the brotherhood OF ST. Andrew.
The evening service at St Paurs Episcopal
Church yesterday was for the special benefit
of members of the Brotherhood of st.
Andrew. ST. Paul's Chapter attended in a
body and there was quite large representa-
ton of chapters from other churches.
There was some GOSPEL singing and re-
sponsive reading. after which Rev. DR.. Al
fred Harding. rector OF st. PaulS, offered
PRAYER and then introduced, as the speaker OF
the evening Rev. DIR. Charles Griffith, pastor
o. Ascension Church. Baltimore. DR.. Grit
iita's discourse was an eloquent address upon
what he termed the quality and not the
quantity feature o! the Brotherhood. By this
was meant that characteristic of the organi-
zation. which distinguishes it from other
peoples societies. its small membership and
lack OF strenuous efforts 10 rapidly increase
the enrolment.
While to some persons this may seem to
be a hindrance to the growth of the
brotherhood, DR.. Griffith believed much
more effective work for the salvation Of young
men can be done by ten earnest and eonse-
Grated persons than by 100 who would not be
liable to be deeply consecrated as the smaller
number.
Several other Young Peoples Christian So
cleties with membership OF more thaE
1000, 900 were no doubt doing excellent work.
but the speaker believed that their Ia5ors
would be much more effective in reaching a
larger number of worldly yoCng people if the
membership was not so large.
DR.. Griffith commended as worthy OF emu
lation and induction into the membership
pledges of the societies referred 10 that
part OF the Brotherhoods pledges in which
the Red Gross men promise to try to bring
one man to church every Sunday. If every
one of the millions Of persons eonnec;ed with
the various Christian societies should faith
fully keep such pledge it would not be a
great while before the Gospel would be
preached to every creature.
In conclusion DR.. Griffith urged Brother
hood men to be true &c their pledge. remem-
bering especially that it is not so many con-
verts as the thorougkness of their conversion
that will bring the greatest reward in heaven.

Key. Hugh johnson ABLY Discusses Growth
in Grace and knowledge.
A large congregation attended the IL
o'clock services at the Metropolitan Nj. Z.
Church yesterday morning to hear the SER
mon of the pastor. Rev. Hugh Johnson, on
the subject of ''The new year and the new
life. He took his text from II Peter. iii:
1S-"Grow In grace and in the knowledge OF
our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ"
The pastor said: We have crossed the
threshold OF another year. No thoughtful
person can enter into a rev year without
leeings of deep so,ennity. We have closed
up volume in The story of our lives; have
put it away and have taken down another.
Whether we shall reach the end of fhis vol
ume of 355 pages, whether there shall be
more volumes in the series no man can tell.
God, the author of the book, alone knows.
The possibility of what may happen in this
year OF 1895 filings its shadow over the most
Joyous and Hopeful and creates a feeling OF
uncertainty.
This is the sad reality OF our lives. but
thank God there is that which abides and
gives enduring Joy. In the midst of the
shifting sands of time there firmly stands the
Rock OF Ages 10 which we cling.
This new year i5 full OF possibilities in
character aud destiny. May it be tho jewel
in The circle of our lives.
1he method oil God 8 working IS OV eyoIu-
ton, expansion, and development; and re-
ligion. which is the life of God in the soul,
is governed by tho law OF growth. Not in
figure. but IL reality are we made Partake-s
of tie divine nature. and while God works
in US We must work with him. Grace means
favor. inward disposition, and here il means
inward religious experience. and growth
means the increase in The power of religion
in the soul, the increase OF faith and love.
Kpawlp6pe hot sDpculative and RypnrI-
mental; there is purely formal knowledge
which includes apprehension of necessary
ideas or just principles of thought The sec
ond kind is that OF real existence.
The third kind is that of probability or what
we do not know as real through its actual
presence in eonscientiousness. Now, in the
knowledge Of Christ The probable is changed
into real knowledge. the testimony is con-
frmed by the reality and, like the Samari,ans.
I'VE have heard for ourselves and do know
Christ Includes knowledge OF whas he does
and works in Us. 70 the skeptic and critic
Christ IS but a thought a fancy, but to the
Christian he is living presence.
Man is progressive Icing and il he is not
rising 10 be an angel he is sinking to be u
demon. Now, how shall YOU progress this
year, upward or downward?
Yesterday being the Hrst Sunday OF the
month. as well as the trst Sunday OF the new
year. was Communion Sunday About 4G0
members or the church received the Sacra-
ment
The pastor was assisted in the Offering of
the Sacrament OF Communion by Rev. DR..
Church. OF Porta Rico; Rev. Dr.. Esry, of the
Ere N. ]. conference. and Rev. DR.. stephen
brown of the New York conference.
