SUNDAY IN ADVENT
Sermon BY Rev. F. c. F. Shears
AT St. Anne's Church
Yesterday.

The Christian year begins with Ad-
vent, the first Sunday of which was
observed yesterday. There are four
Sundays in Advent. which are intend
ed as preparations for the commemo-
ration of the Advent of Christ. On
the first Sunday the church prays TO be
enabled to cast away the works OF
darkness; on the second. returns thanks
for the first means of grace, the Holy
Scripture; on the third, for the minis
try. and on the fourth it prays for the
more direct interposition Of Gods
great might.
The first Sunday in Advent is al.
ways nearest st. Andrews day, either
before or after. as the case may be.
At st. Anne's Church visiting clergy
men will preach ON the Sunday after
moons during advent, and the first OF
the series was preached yesterday af
ternoon by Rev. 4. q. +. Shears, rec
tor of All Hallows Parish, in Anne
Arundel county. The clergyman was
a stranger to many in the congrega-
tion and he impressed all favorably
with his sermon. which was an excel
lent one. Mr.. Shears took for his text
Amos. 4th chapter and 18th verse
Therefore, thus will l do unto thee
o Israel, and because / will do this
unto thee. prepare to- meet thy God,
D Israel. ["
The literal text was the last clause
of the verse: Prepare to meet they
God" /" 1t was handled in masterly
fashion,. the clergyman, who is good
sermonizer, bringing out the best
thoughts and practical lessons to be
derived therefrom. His theme was
Preparation In This Life For The
Next" He described the political
and social conditions of Amos day as
compared with our own, and said the
admonition was as carelessly received
then as now. The clergyman said it
is necessary for us to live prepared
ife as in the presence of God for we
never know when the Day of the Lord
shall be. He then spoke of the many
judgments of history and said the
Day of the Lord was not only the
final Judgment, but Gods many com
ings in Judgment, citing that of Mount
Pelee and Martinique. The sermon
was attentively listened to by large
congregation.
In the morning the sermon at st.
Anne's was preached by Rev. George
@. +. Bratenahi, of Mount st. Albans'
Church, Washington, ID. O. The
clergyman took for his text Isiah, 40th
chapter and part of the 3rd verse !:
Prepare We the way of the Lord. "
The sermon was missionary one.
