"On this congratulatory occasion the in
stallation of new pastor in this old his
toric church, so long presided over by the
illustrious and renowned preacher and
Christian patriot, DR.. Sunderland, / to-
night take my text from the tenth chapter
of St John and part of the sixteenth verse:
Other sheep have | which are not of this
fold
There is no monopoly in religion II IS
not little property which we can have
and keep all to ourselves. II is not park
into which We can enter and see all the
flowers, and the trees. and the gentle deer
and shut the Esfes 90 others. When I was
boy l remCmta- an old orchard which
the owner guarded SO watchfully that al
though tho apples were rotting if we at
tempted TO get any OF them we were pur-
sued and ordered 90 drop what we had
picked up. Thus it seems 20 me there are
Christians guarding the Church.
There is fruit enough in it for all. but
there are some so unsympathetic in deal
ing with outsiders that they think they
have no right to be there Because. my
friend YOU were christened al eight months
Of age, and have been all of your life sur
rounded by healthful influences, 90 YOU
conclude that you have all the right to the
Lords table, I tell you. you VIII have to
take in your elbow. AS Christ said of old
so he says 10 you: Other sheep have I
which are not of this fold"
Now, there are at least 100 600 people in
this city who need TO be brought under
gospel influences, and I pray God that
under the ministry of the man tonight to
