DIR. sWEENEY,s SERMONS.
A Stirring Appeal at the Seventh Street
Church Last Night,

In spite OF the Indictment weather last
night a large number of persons attend
ed the services at tho Seventh-Street
Christian church and listened TO most
Instructive and impressive sermon by Rev.
H. T. Sweeney upon the subject, rs ODE
dience 10 the Moral Law SUFFICIENT
His text vas "Whosoever committeth
sin. transgresseth also the law and sin is
transgression of the law lie defined
transgression as meaning crossing the
way. doing what should not be done and
not doing what should be done and sin as
unr!ghteousness. lie classified laws
~, mural and positive laws. explaining
the former as being laws that determin-
cd the eternal fitness OF things and the
latter as laws that are without any
moral principles and i'm which we can
see no purpose lie asserted that man
could obey all the moral laws in the
Bible and not be a Christian. illustrating
this by contrasting the lives of Charles
Sturgeon, the great Christian teacher.
and Robert ]. Ingersoll, the moralist and
infidel
Mr.. Sweeney endeavored 10 show the
importance of Observing both classes OF
law in the Christian life. The necessity
for respecting the positive laws of God
Eve and the forbidden fruit. Abraham
in offering up Isaac. Moses in smitirg
the rock for water, and Jesus curing the
blind man with a little spittle, which
were tests of mans loyalty to God.
Some dissenters claim that the ten com
mandments were laws Of the Egyptians
adopted by Moses and are not of God.
but the fallacy of this is demonstrated
In that the laws of the Egyptians and
those Of Moses were Numerically OPP
posed 10 each other. The laws Of Moses
and the Old Testament. however, as a
system, were abolished i'm Christ There
Is no intention of repudating them, the
laws were reincorporated in the teach
ings of Gods Divine Son. After eX-
planning several difficult passages in the
New Testament. he made a ve-y earn
est appeal for the acceptance of Jesus
as our Lord and Saviour.
One young gentleman a former mem
