Preached To The X of p.
The Rev. Ii. S. Dulaney, pastor
of Asbury NJ. E. Church, preached
special sermon to the Knights OF
PythIas yesterday morning on the
subject "Frieudship, Charity and
Benevoleace.
The text of Mr.. Dulaney, which
was taken from ST. John Is, Is, was:
But | have called YOU friends"
10 the beginning OF his address
Mr.. Dulaney referred to the fact
that while it was our pleasure to
call ourselves servants or slaves. it
was Gods pleasure TO call us
friends. Friendship. he said, be-
gan on Christs side, and Christ
trusted his disciples as he would
have them trust him.
Mr.. Dulauey dwelt at length
upon the friendship OF Christ and
the characters by which it is dis,
played. These characters, he said,
were exalted purity and conhden-
tial intercourse. and said they
might be acquired by affection ate
obediance and faithful service.
In speaking OF the riendship' Of
high and sanctitied persons, Mr..
Dulaney said IT lost nothing by
death and that the virtues of those
whose faces we shall behold no
more appear greater when behe Id
through the shades OF the sepul.
chre.
The world would be more happy,
he said, if It gave up more time to
the increase of happiness, but
money engrosses all our deieren c e
and some scarce enjoy an hour. He
referred to false friendship and
spoke Of it being like the ivy which
decays and ruins the wall it en-
braces, but added that true friend
shi p gives new life and animation
to the object It supports.
