CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH NOTES. Last Sum-
day, in response to request. Mr. Mckinney
spoke from John s:9, contrasting the sin of the
Pharisees and the woman of the text. Brought
in her shame before the Master. we pity her
even while deploring her sin. But the
cold, calculating, well-mannered men who

woman still standing before Jesus. Two
classes of sinners there will always be. The

account. To whomsoever much is given, OF
him much will be required. Will not the
omissions as well as the sins of the man Of op-
portunity, for he who'is not for God is against
Him. be his eternal confusion? May it not be
that the degraded criminal, whose very crime
has brought its own punishment, will merit
more DIVINE forgiveness! AT Cne evening
