A ino»t sinking tiluatralion. pemapa, of such a strmon devoted to the exposition of one great phase oi religious truth and of the divine charscti t wa» in»t dehvered, as I gather, from .his pulpit i»st Sunday morning, by our honored irieud. Dr. Hcrnck, of Bos* ton. We come to church, one might say, to worship and to hear the Scripture explained. and we do not care to hear our minister made a "dead set,” a* it might be called, upon a certain foible or vice which we arc almost all entirely against. My feeling is that there is a deep propriety in this sentiment. 1‘reaching, like prayer, should be for all. On the other hand, a Christian minister
than he is preacher—is
S.-HKM -^tnjrstn is trinity of watcher*—teacher, pastor, watcher f-u individual human live*. St. Paul at Ephesuv said he had warned every one
night and day with tears—every one.
1 need make no apology for continuing in the strain of ethical anpeal taken up two weeks ago, tor I have been asked and tuued to do so by tome of our young men. Within the last fortnight various echoes have reached me of the address which this pulpit ventured to make in favor of a nign morality and especially moral freeto give way. Among those echoes there have been some references to the practice g.v"S‘r-.S“s rSs s tent to which certain forma of gambling where the real wrong came in by buyinc chance*, on the races for example, and “T.i isS'i. which I tried to speak two weeks ago, trusting to your sympathy in my effort to reach rz’sz'zsz L-SMirtz
