An Interesting Sermon by the Rev. W. W
Taylor, SUNDAY Might.

An Interesting Sermon by the Rev. w. W.
Taylor. Sunday Night.
The Rev. W. ". Taylor preached at
Hanover Street Presbyterian Church,
Sunday, in the ah6encs OF the pastor,
the Rev. DR.. Marhs. The text for the
evening was John a. g. am the Way,
the Truth and the Life; no man cometh
unto the Father, but by me"
The necessity for such way TO God
was shown by various considerations.
JasuH Christ was set forth Rs f:tteu TO
act as mediator between God and nun
because He possessUs the two natures
of the godhead and manhood in onn
person. AS man, Christ ia born OF
our bone and flesh uf our feHh and BY
His voluntary human birth lie stands
nearer and has made Himself dearer to
US than We stand to each other. In
virtue of the divine nature He ia the
fellow Of the Lord Of hosts and whilst
one hand rests On Code throne, the
other is reached eRrthward for mortals
to grasp. We may feel the warm flesh
and blood, and in virtue OF this inter
vention, We may travel towards God
by it, rs the angels assembled on the
mystic ladder OF Bethel, We may climb
heayenward.
"No man cometh to thv Father, but
by me. The caution contained in
these words was pointed out; Jesus ia
not one way out OF many, but the way.
It might be demonstrated that an
examination of all the systems OF
philosophy. creole, morals and relig ious
worship, "tho Light of Asia" and Of
vii other so called faiths, fails to show
any other way Of purity and everlasting
life. The followers OF Buddha and
Confucius are walking iu hopeless dark
ness, worshipping dumb idols, and
mnltitudes of these are turning Joy
fully to Jesus Vain is the hope Of
reaching heaven by walking in the
sparks which ye have kindled." dc.
pending on your own sagacity or
Righteousness, trusting in rank, riches
or montal superiority. 1.-THE cover.
ing is narrower than that man can
wrap himself 10 it," The labor ia
lost. "Ye shall lie down in sorrow. -
But are you seeking the Father through
Jesus Christ, the Son? The further
you go, tine surer of reaching the goal,
will you travel, and when you leave the
body some angel will clasp your hand
and lead you through the pearly gates
and over the gold paved streets to the
mansion prepared for you! Then,
happy soul will you comprehend your
felicity in choosing the narrow path and
walking therein, patiently and prayer.
