}sveligious Services on Sunday. ST. JAMES’ CHURCH.

A morning service, the Rev. Ken-

neta Metennan preached from the text:

wilt thou revive us again, that thy people maverejoice in ‘Thee.’—Sdth Psalm, 6th verse, ‘Lhe following is a brief outline of the sermon :

Dear brethern, we began the worship of the first Sabbath of the new year, by observing the Sacrament in commemor- ation of the sulferings and death of Christ. ‘This was followed by the Week of Pray- er, and the services in the different churches. If we conducted those services in the spirit of a true faith in God, we may now look for results. I[t may be asked why men should leave the business of life, and go back the old, old story of

inay say that the experience of men proves that when the story is believed truly, it does what no phylosophy can do for sutfer- ing humanity. Legislation, science, art, all fail short of the simply story of the Cross in their effects upon men. It deals with ever- lasting lifeeand eternal things. The ques- tion, indeed, should be, why so much apathy ina matter of such importance is shown! True for those who have neglected its Importance, it is possible to indulge in extreme expression of feeling. But those who are earnest in their convictions on mat- ters, of poiitics and education, or any other matter, do not hesitate to express their feelings strongly. The Stevenson’s in their days and sphere, were enthusiasis, and gave vent to their convictions in language and action, until their efforts were crowned with success. So with Gladstone and bright. They gave expression to their feclings in language that could not be mis- taken, until what men at first called dreams, were realized to be facts. In politics and trade, men employed all their energies to accomplish the end they have in view. Why then should not the Church put forth all its energies to do the work it has to do! it should pray for a revival to dispel the in-

, difference; coldness and inertness by which

it seems bound. The Church has large re- sponsibilities. There are millions,of the hu- iman race living in darkness and vice. War, with its horrible butcheries, is entailing misery on millious of the human family. Surely the Church ought to pray for the revival of a true rcl gious spirit among men. if the Gospel of Christ is not a familiar tale, it is the duty of everyone who professes to believe it, to be up and doing. Many have a sort of half-hearted belief m the gospel of Christ ; but, in reality, have not closed with it. They hang about the gates of Christi- anity, and say to themselves they will go in sometime. Ask them if they are Christians, and they hesitate. ‘They have some regard for those who go to the house of God, and they do not like to part with them. Will it be of any benetit tothem, if they were at the very ga‘es of everlasting life, if they do not enter in! The Church should pray for such a revival of religion, as would induce such as these to lay hold on Christ by a liv- ing faith, Some say that the best way to get men to go into it, is to make the Chufch attractive, by lowering it to the feelings and tastes of the people outside. But the Church at Jerusalem did not lower itself to the feel- ings and tastes of the Scribes and Pharisees. li was a praying Church. It continued

ciety that looked on first in amazement and wonder, soon looked on in admiration. If the Church show the world that they are living a life hid with Christ in God, they will soon gain the respect of men. If we pray earnestly to God to remove us by the influence of His Spirit,we have no new ar- rangement to make. A society of living, loving hearts looking to God through Jesus Christ is all that is wanted. Man cannot improve on the air; neither can he on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Christ’s promise to His Disciples was, ‘‘Lo, I am_ with you always,” and they trusted and believed him. There are no new measures or means wanted now. The mind of God toward men is revealed in the Gospel of Christ. In Christ we are all brethern, and the Church should admit it more than it does. faith and strength to meet its responsibility. The responsibility of the Church is not met by shirking its work, but by doing it.

was arren the Isper was healed that he was sent to the Teraple, not before, The leper went to Christ just as he waa, It was not ordinances that he nveded ; he did not need the grand temple service —the incense nor Christ’s healing balm. The true Christian (oes not ask how he is to go to Christ; he merely says, | am a siumer and I wanta Saviour, The first step that can lead a man to God is faith through Christ ; let him fall down, and on his knees plead before the Throne of the Almighty, shutting out all but I ama sinful man. The meaning of the word smnrut is, that persons are natur- ally averse to God. Men take two ways to bring about a change—some change their surroundings and curb their appetites ; others perhaps do not at first alter their habits of life, but they kneel before God and stay there until peace enters their minds. deformation into Christ would be more palatable to many persons, but not believing it, Mr. Osborne said he could not, of course, preach it. So far as coming to Christ is concerned, the inmates of the palace and prison are both alike in God’s

sight ; none are really good in the sight of/

the Almighty. In the words, ‘‘ Come unto me all that are weary and heavy laden,” there is no difference made between rich and poor. A man must come to Christ feeling his leprosy, and he must ask for cure in faith. ‘‘ if thou wir thou canst ;” there is a little fear displayed here by the leper, but not of Christ, only of self; the leper did not doubt Christ’s power to heal him. The sinner says, ‘‘Lord, I feel yet that Iam not thine, 1 want to love thee, I aim kneeling before thee, knowing that thou canst cure me of sin if thou wilt. Whena man or woman speaks thus we have hope, but when a person boasts that he is safe and has found heaven, we tremble for him. Mr. Osborne concluded his discourse by asking persons that had already reformed in many things to question themselves and find out whether they are heart and soul for Jesus. To the leper no answer was given to the faith but to the doubt, ‘‘I will be thou clean.” God’s willingness to pardon is not barred by the unworthiness of the suppli- cant. ternal life is not an objective thing but it is a well of water, as the Greek has it, ever bubbling up into everlasting life.

|. Note by reporter.—Having written the above report almost entirely from memory, the readers of the Examiyer will please ex- cuse its meagreness. In order to fully understand and appreciate Mr. Osborne’s sermons, a person must be present and catch the words as they fall from the preachers mouth. No. reporter except a **short hand” can do this eloquent and earnest minister of the Gospel justice. |
