Tho Love Of God for Man and Mans Debt Of
Love To GOd-sermon by the Rev. Father
Everett.


The Church OF the Nativity, of which the Rev.
Father Everett Is PASTOR Is situated on Second ave-
nue., between Second and Third streets Viewed
from the outside It's appearance is by no means i'm
posing and its architectural merits are not Of the
highest order. Its interior Is equally unostenta-
tiOus, and very little attention has evidently been
paid to the ornamentation OF the church. But II
everything is plain, and the gorgeous embclsh-
ments to be found in other churches are wanting,
there Is an imposing air In the very want OF these
adornments which makes feel that the struc.
ture is built for the worship of God,
and that the one object of saving souls
is the supreme desire OF the pastors OF
the cnurcn. and that In that one object
all others are forgotten. And that success has at
tended their Efforts can be seen by the Large congre
cations which attend services there. Yesterday, at
the half-past ten mass, when the heat was almost
unbearable, the number OF wOrshlppers which filed
the church was pleasing sight TO behold, and tha
rapt attention with which the preacher OF the day
was listened TO was sufficient proof that his elo
quence and his labOrs were not without mutt aud
that the word of God spoken from his mouth went to
the hearts OF his hearers aud raised their thoughts
on high


The Reverend Father Everett, by whom the ser.
mon was preached, Is the pastor OF the church. and
Is both beloved and respected by his congregation
TO his hock-knd and genteawith the good, but stern
and striet with the transgressor.,


His text was from the gospel Of the day, CON-
menclng al the seventeenth and ending with the
twenty-third verse OF St. Luke, sixth chapter-"And
he came down with them, and stood IN the PLAIN,
and the company OF mis- disciples, and u very great
multitude OF people out of all Judea and Jerusalem,
and from the sea coast, OF Tyre and Sdon.p


The reverend preacher spoke In glowing language
OF the


GOODNESS OF GOD,


OF the love or God and OF the great debt OF love due
him from Christians. God, the Father, had sent His
only son to redeem mankind from That Son
had come on earth IN human shape; had suffered
ignominy contumely and death for our sake, ana TO
open for US the road 10 heaven. He showed MS by
His lie OF humility and obedience to the will OF His
Father how we should gam that end, and when by
his cruel death ana


GLORIOUS RESURRECTION


heaven was secured to us lie eft to His teachings
and His apostles to guide from darkness TO light,
aud, above all, lie left Himself in the blessed
crament OF the Eucharist, that we might want for
nothing that would help to our salvation. God
having thus done every thing for us, ought we not
give Him the little He asks In return Ought we
not oner up TO Him that which We hold merely Dy
His bOunty-namey, our lives our rhopes, our hearts |?
He asks Us for but little and that little ourselves
Father Everett concluded by exhortng his hearers
to consecrate their lives to God by prayer and good
works, and they would reap the benefit Of 1t IN the
world to come.

THE MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH
are comprised almost entirely OF wealthy people.
Situated In locality where are the homes of MANY
of the most prominent men, both IN business and
social circles, it has naturally drawn into Its folds
an unusual number OF this desirable class. Yet the
congregation are noted for pOteness in accommo-
dating strangers, and they thus display kind and
Christian feeling which is not always associated with
wealth.


THE MUSIC


must always please even musicay cultured ears.
The organist OF the church is Mr.. Albert W. Berge
the eminent composer, and his reputation as one OF
our first Organists has long been fully established
paid choir has always been distaseful to the pas
tor Of the church, SO that the only vocal mvsic ever
heard within its walls Is made by number OF theO-
logical students, who give their services without fee
or reward.


The pastor, the Rev. DIR. Houghton, is a minister
greatly beloved by his flock. He Is plain, unas-
sumng man, and although he does great deal OF
work 1t Is performed In such quiet way as to be
scarcely known outside his own congregation.


The church yesterday was fairly attended for so
warm day. The day being Trinity Sunday the
sermon preached was appropriate to the occasion.
The pastor took his text from the first episte OF st.
John, fourth chapter and the nineteenth and twen-
ty-nrst verses. It was as follows:-"We love Him
because He first loved us; and this commandment
have we from Him, that He

The attendance at the churches yesterday was
vislbly affected by the weather Fine enough to IN.
duce the butterflies of fashion TO appear In their
most gorgeous toilets and costumes, it was too
warm to allow any extra dressing, and SO oppres-
sve as to forbid almost any attempt at display.
The result was that the churches generally were
very poorly attended. In the Catholic churches this
being in the octave OF the festival of Corpus Christi
the services were peculiarly fine. The sermons in
majority OF the churches were out of the ordinary
orthodox style and IRON the reports given below
will be found to be interesting, instructive and In
some cases quite novel.
