As Preached In a

Leading Brooklyn.

N-Y-. Clll1l‘Cll by Dr Hubbert oi Phil- arlelphia.

_The followingi sermon was delivered recently by the Rev. Il»r. J. M. Hub- iiert of Philadelplila; tho siipject was "Life Here an-d Here~aiter." The text was from Phillillpians 1:22124. "What I shall choose I wot not, Fur 1 inn in a strait betwixt two, lniving n desire to depart, and to be with Christ, which is far better; neverthe- less, so to abide in the flesh is iiiiiive needful for you." Dr. I-lubitprt Siiiii; _ The words df the text remind us

Ui -good Isaac Watts, who 5-ni-il_ ~"rhsni¢ God, I can un flown at night with no concern whether I wuke in. tliis world or the next." Some peo- ple arc worldly, chiefly con.cerned for iiiings hero below. some are other- worldly, having thoughts and- iiffect- ious set on things nbove; und such ii innn was I’-aul. This thinking ii- hout the future is by sonic called ‘impractical star g‘aziiig." llut l)i~. 'sniniiel _Johnson correctly remnrked_ that “thaw W'l'1o think most a`:nw\it the next life are the people who best iicrforiii the duties of this life."

Firstrol' _aii., the text speaks of our

mortality. ln saying he has a desire tr "depart,‘: Paul is not thinking of going from one place to another on the earth, but of going back to niotlier earth-“eai‘Uli to eurtli, dust to dust, ashes to ashes." Tiiis is the ii-ay we imfust all go very soon. liiniz Philip of lvlacedcn had a servant whose duty it was to wake the Ring ench morning by saying, “Pliilip, rc- member tliiou art moi‘tal.’: nurcly, we /need no such reinin-der. We have enoiigli all aroiuid us to imiii~i»s:i us that "all flash is as grass." Pass- ing through the street of :I very healtliy mountain town, and seeing 5 iimn with a hose wasliini; iuud from the wheels of n behrse, l said, "lin you use, such things up here?" "Uh, yes,': said lie, “we carried out tlirre yesterday." And tlint is just wlizit is going on everyw‘liei~e. The ceiin-l_ei‘lcs arrr- fast receiviiig the 19|-iiiiiig iiopiilatiohs of citim, _i',uwiis, ,.iii,,g,.s and count-ry iilnres.; Well m.i_v it be said: .

Death floats upon every llf‘S»~'lll;:

hrecze,

And lurks in every flower, _ hlncli season hath its own riisciisc. its perils evcry hour. `

`Ai:ai'u the text speaks of our ini- mortnlity. Paul has n desire to dc- pnrf, "nud‘to bfi." H0. ll“>` “U thoui;»lit of ceasing to bc, \"'l`»l`ll denrh comes.

Besides its value dl a pasture and hay plant, yidlding its several cuttings each season for an indefinite number of years whether the season be wet or dry, it ‘ls es- teemed because of the improving el- fecta of ltls roots.
