HIS FIRST SERMON.
New Pastor of First Reformed Church,
East Orange, Is Heard.

The Rev. William Warren Giles, the
new pastor Of the First Reformed Church,
East Orange, who was installed last week,
preached his first sermon there yester-
day morning, and his style and manner
pleased the large congregation. His dis
course was based on the text from Romans
III. Z. and the theme was that of immor-
tally. He said n part:
In spite Of the act that you are down
in the fog struggling with petty details
fog. You are always hoping for better
things, things SO good that nothing short
OF glory, honor and Immortality will
ever satisfy you. You are not bodies; you
are spirits. You only have bodies. I'm
fortunately. your bodies dominate you.
Dragging you to the table three times a
day. n make you eat more than you
need. Dragging you to the exchange every
day. they keep you there all the day to
get that which will not simply cover them,
but another them. in costllest fabrics and
priceless jewels. Fol a time you tolerate
their insolent domination. But one day
you rebel. Trusting aside the diet of
Bubbles upon which you have starved,
your spirit cries out for glory. honor, i'm
eternal life. For years you have envied
great souls who have realized these. To
your astonishment you discover they are
for you. In letters too large to be mis-
taken you read, ITO them that by pa
tient continuance in well doing seek for
glory, honor and immortality, eternal life
For the first time in life you learn to
think reverently of your kitchen, laundry,
loom. workbench. office and bank. God
made them for you and you for them. In
them, by simple patience In simple duties,
you are to make not money but manhood.
For the first time you appreciate the
greatness of a simple" character. Hither-
to you have had a vague idea that what
are called wonderful Characters pos
sessed peculiar virtues. Now, you dis
cover that their faith, hope and love are
the same as yours; that these virtues when
drawn on the inch scale Of lowly life, are
just as genuine as when drawn on the
twelve-inch scale of most exalted ability"
Simple duties involve suffering, and suf-
fering is sublime. You who are novel
are all dead. They are not There are
millions of them at your doors. What
patient fingers beat the keys of type
writers all last week and last night car
ried home every cent Of the slender wage
to clothe children hat some vulgar frac-
ton of a man threw upon the world and
then forsooki What tired fingers stitched
every day and half the night to keep d
roof under which a family might be saved
from the street. Heroes! Heroes! They
are right here at your side.

Almost one thousand baskets. at a cost
