TAKE PRINCIPLES ALONG.
DIR. McKin's Advice 10 Pnrishioners
Who Are Going Away.

Who Are Going Away.
The sermon of Rev. DR.. r. H. McKim.
rector of Epiphany Protestant Episcopal
rected toward those of his parishioners
who are about to leave the city for the
summer. The church was well filed and
the congregation paid deep attention to the
pastors eloquent discourse.
And the disciples were first called
Christians at Antioch taken from Acts,
xi;26. was the text. The minister stated
Antioch, as was also the name Catholic.
Antioch at the time" said DR.. McKim,
was one of the greatest and most infiuen-
tial cities in the Roman Empire. Its pop
ulace was learned and brilliant, and It's
architecture was as magnificent as that Of
any city in the East, yet it was thoroughly
corrupt The people of this magn. ficent
city were of an enquiring mind, and when
the disciples visited 1t preaching their
new doctrine much curiosity was aroused
and the question came from all quarters
Who are these mem In deris.on and
scorn came the answer, They are Chris
tians,' and the name followed them where
ever they went until they were called by
that title and nothing else. Since that
time the appelation has come to be a
glorious one, and we should be proud of
our being called Christians. Christianity
has since ruled the world, and the nations
which are called Christian stand pre-emi-
nently above those which have not ac-
cepted the belief in both charity and NOR
ais. Let US not forget that the great ma
tional day which we are about to celebrate
is in tribute to liberty which grew out OF
Christian ideas.
The various divisions of Christianity
may be represented by four concentric
circles said the minister, 'the first in
Guiding the Christian nations whose peo-
pie may not all be affiliated with any
fundamental truths of the religion; the
second embracing those who have bsen
| baptized and who accept the Church as a
criterion; the third including those who
accept the communion of the Church, and
the fourth class, those who are followers
| of Christ and try to emulate him and by
deeds OF devotion show that they endeavor
to consistently follow his teachings"
| DIR. McKim urged those of his parishion-
ers who are about to leave the city for the
summer to remember that they are Chris
| tions, and that wherever they go ought tC
| live up to the same standard which they
| are accustomed to observe at home. H;
said that he had known church member:
| going away for the summer to cast OF theil
Christian principles just as they would
| their winter clothing. He exhorted his
| hearers not to fall into the error OF that
| class OF people.
