from whom you had almost to escape by violonue, as

when yon had go e a pace and cr,st a lingering look

THIS SALVATION OF YOUTH.
A Sermon Pellverecl at tlio First Iudc
pciidrut Church, Broad aud Hansom
. Ktreeta, 1y the Uev, Joliu Chanibcra.
The subject of Mr. Chambers' discourse yesterday
afternoon was tbe quetion, "IIow are tbe young
men and lads to be sccuiei against tho evils ol lite?"
Tbe text was taken from the tbirtoontb chapter of
first Corinthians, eleventh verse, roading as fol
lows; "When I was a hild I spake as a child I understood
as child, i tliuuuht as a chdd ; but when I becuio a
man I put away en Idish tUiui "
I am fuKy an are that it is sreat crnolty and in
justioe tor us 10 expect o:d heads on vouug
shoulders, and look lor a child, lad, or youth to
be a matured mau. At the samo time, I am just as
free to admit that it is excess yely inconsiteut aud
aburd to find men nothing but children oi a
lsrger growih, aud as easily pioascd by coys as
tbe little one that plays arouud the hearthstone.
I believe in cbil.ihood, youth, and boyhood, aud I
believe in manhood; I believe that no lad could rise
to manhood, either on tuis cou inont or any other
comment, in a bish, grand, aud noble senso of tliat
word, until be u tauvbt according to ihe teaching
contained iu tbe Bib e. The tuipor'auoe of having
our lads and our younct men nnaer tho control and
povtei of rtlivious prii.oiplo. religious truth, aud
re icious liio, is niost.y more important than it is
in any power to make manifest to you.

Ihe grand evil, however, which, to my sober judg
ment is the chief causo for their going asiray, is a
want ol atiracnon in our homes. This may seem
strange, but it is nevertheless tru3. Home is not
made the most att noth e spot on oarth. Tne lathers

tbali leun my bead upon his warm, parental bosom,
and be counselled by him " But, mark you the per
nicious effect if, when ho meets the father and
speaks, be is met by a freezit g countenance and
sharp words Oh my brethren, we must free our

A Sermon Preached at tho Presbyterian
Church, Seventh tttreet, below Arch, by
the Htv. E. It. Bendl, U. D.
Yesterday morning Ur. Beadle selected for bis

This is ore of the melodies of heaven. It is praver
with us, but with the angels aud ruiieemod spirits it
is Bong and praise.
What is tins "uamef" ft !s anything descriptive
of the cbaracter ol God, standmp lor His g'ory and
excellence, Hs power and wisdom. "Jehovah" is
tho name expressive of tils influ te and mysterious
es enco. i ho Jew never utt-led it. "Emmanuel"
is tbe glorious name uudur which God uiauiieatud
Hinveli in tbo flesh.
We hollow dod's name when we worihip Him
in spirit and truth. No form of woid", no porgeous
ntes iid ceremonies, can hallow His name wl bout
tbe adoration of the hearr. iho praying heart,
whether w tb ,'ortns or without tbo in oau alono
truly breathe tbis prayer.
We hul.'ow God's name by cherishing a reverent,
loving regard for his name. Profanity is ono of ibe
paitile.-t evidenocs of man's fall. It is a profound
testimonial to the real alienation of tbe human
heart from God. It Is the aioiost sol tary sin With
out excuse. There are sins that fill with delight
that satisly desire and that thri 1 and charm. But
profanity giatitios no demand of the appetite, gives
no charm, lends no thr II ot p easure. It is bold,
unsolicited, untomperi d, gratnitous sin The ex
cuse that it adds to ibe vigor oi speech or to tbe
s' length of assertion is a false one. On. ill contrary,
it takes away from the power ol langua eand throws
as suspicion of ms'nceritv or dowurigtit, 'alsehood
over the speech. No man who is gu l'y of profanity
sLou d uso this praytr witheu' first ropontini of his
g n. But it the irreverent piofune u eof God's name
is a grievous sin, how much darker is it when Hi
name Is not only not baliowod, but is appealed to in
asseveration of a la eolioodf
We bul'ow God's name in an approor'ate use of
tbe ordinances of His bouin In the ear it r ag s of
the oild God erected his tabernao in thefamby,
and the Patiiarch was the l'riost Out'ide of tnoo

earth's su'face, Ibo Meat world iusbed by in its sins
oi d sorrows. As tbe a?es rol'ed away, those p'acs
ot Gorl's al ode with men multiplied and the Church
was organized It is now in tho saticluury that i-rud
e.-pt cia iy revea's bimsell: and while in particular
caves God may come near to the soul elsowhere, set,
in a large experience we may safely assoit tba' man

A Sermon Delivered tu the First Presby

Itev. V. D. Reed, V. D.
Ur. Keed called attention last evening to the
words ot our Saviour as recorded in tho s xtb chap
ter oi tbe Gospel by the Evangelist John and the
Clty-tl.iid verse:" Verily, verily, I say unto you,
except ye eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and
drink His blood, ye have no life in you."
The human mind in its p redout state 1b inolinod to
two extremes skepncism and credu ity. Both ate
the legitimate offspring of a heait at enmitr With
God, and opposed to the truth of His teaohlng-.
Tbeie are rome who will receive no religious doo

To B'lcb pert)' ui everything must be brought withiu

well being of li s people He said nothlug about
this doctrine except here, and now hero else alluded
to it The doctrine that it applies to tbe Lord's
bitppcr is contrary to reason.
The Koniaii st doctrine implies that tbe body of
Christ is iu this, and at the same time In every pluoe,
where the Eucharist Is o-served. Nothing can be
more unreasonable. It is contrary to tbe dictates
ot comm.-u sense. When Jesus ptr'ormed the
mnaclo of sutiiviog the hunger of tbe thousands
ot men and women with the five loaves and llshoi,
tho multitude did not believe In Him. No ou but a
t 'ftc' f r tent from God oould perlorui suoti a miracle
as this. "Ibe Jew strove among thetiis.dva-i '

THE DELUSION OF SIN.
A Sermon Delivered at the Second Con
grcgatloual Church, Eleventh and
Wood Streeta, by the Rev. Gtuorge W.
Smiley.
Hex. Mr. Smiley yesterday morning seloctcd as his
text the fifty-third verso of tbe 113 tu Psalm, as ol
I lows I
' Horror hath taken bold upon me, because of the
wicked that lorsake thy law."
travellers tell us that in the desert of Sahara,
w hen weary and exhaus cd. and almost reaiir to
faint, there is seen in the distanoa, suddenly to ne
irom lueuonzou, a oeauiitui laite. taer to qu"nch
tbeir thirst and bathe in its waters, thoy start for
ward. It r cedo end dita.n ears. It has been
only a decettlul delusion, bo it is with sin.
It is au euohaiitmeut. It presents Bometoing
to the eye thut seems real, and, as you stait
It rward to embrace it, it Is not there. It 'S
g ine. The buvble ba4 bur t bofore you gra p it.
It is like the fruit that is said to grow ou me bauks
ft Ihe Dead Sea 'air to the ove, yet 11. led only wiia
dust and bittor as' es So, there Is a pertinanoy in
the languavo of the Apostle, whon he asks "What
li ui havo ye ?
The reason whr horror had taken hold of the
Psa'mlst was teoauso he had a clear conception oi
lie majesty ana bo mess of the D vine Home, and
ot tbe immaculate pur ty of H,s law The same
blindne-s not ouly presents things delnsiyely to the
e e, but tbe undsrs anding becomes darkened iu
re.ard to sidritual things, so that, iu the language
ot this pace, "They have eyes, but thot'seenot;
they have ears, but tho b-.ar not: tbey have under
Btndings,but they perceive not ; and naturally man
ve celveih not ibe things oi the spirit, neither can
be know tht m, Lccaise they are spiritual." You
w ll reonileo in tho histury ot Paul, tuat be received
li stroction in spiritual tuings, and as it were tho
scales lell off his ee and bo oomprehendod what
he did not comprehend bolor. tlio ,aw ot God in
it beamy purity aud n.aj, stio holiness
Wiien a soul is saved, it is brought out of dark
ness astbeBiole expresses i" out into a marvel
lous light It has a spiritual discinment imparted
into it, whereby that wl ich was before flim-y and
shadowy Lecomes reai aad s lbstan lal One of the
reasons why the I'sa niit was troublod about his
soul was because he looked at the consequeno s of
transgression the end ot the results ot transpres
s on. He looked at the violation of the law and the
l enalty ainexed to it. It tho e is a law, there i a
pei alty io that law. The very Idoa of law, natu
rally and neco-san'y supposes tenalty. It is not a
las; unless tne-e is a penalty. In regard to the
penalty that I- fixed o ho violation ot God's law,
wo are not able to conceive wuai its terrible oouce
qui nces a e.
What is death 1 It was somothing that was super
induced bv trai sgrts-ion Ad ra was orea'ed mate
rial as well as Immaterial. Km lb. reached both
nntures; the penalty was brought against both
natuirs. Wlen Eve submitted to the influence of
the great tempter, -she ttamided down the law of
tied ard tbe very moment she stre'ehed forth hor
hand to tak" tbe fiuit, tbat moment thore wai death
to the foul. 8 he became spiritually dead aud
alienated trom the love of God, through the evil
that was in her, and oecause of tbe bl ndnoss that
was In her heart. We coucotve that the ieo'ing ot
t e Psalmist, when he s oke in the words oi the
text was analogous to tnat which you would feel
it you saw a poor blind man walking onwaid be
yond vour reeoh. to pno p ce.
There is a dark, terrible, al.nost fa'hombss gulf ,
into which be will precipitate himself. You shout,
but he hears you not. He walks steadl y tertvard,
with his statT in bis band, until vou see him stand
ing at ibe very edge, aud at last his foot is lifted up;
be makes a step and disappears into the fathomless
tiu f. Something analogous to this is where the
Pea'mist saw a sinner slandiug w th the lamp of
God in his band walk nht into tbe gulf it eternal
perditiou. No wonder that bo oxcla nied. "Horror
bath taken bo.'d upon ne because of tho wicked
that lorsake Thy law."
I there any dt o ara ion in this blessed book In
regard to the initio ion of punishment f Yon oannot
turn to a "initio page iu tbe O d or New testament
Hcriplu'ea tbat wbl not te.l you there is punishment
to be inflicted upon the sinner. "He that neieyeto
and is tiap'ized shall be saved, and he that bolievoth
not shall be (tanned." Do yen want anvthin?
plainer than tha f It falls Irom the lips of Eternal
ruth ' Know ye not," says the Apostle, "tbat the
nitr pbteoiis shall not inherit ihe kingdom of Godf"
We need not detain you any longeron this quea ion.
Anv one here who looks Into the pave ol bistort
cannot doubt for a smg'e moment, tbat God has
threatened. Tbe question njw oomes up. Will God
lu ll, these thieatuniugsf I seo no avenue ot escapo
in tins regard. If God does not fulfil H's throareo
inps, 1 have no guarantee fiat Hu will lultil His pro
mises. In cot elusion, be uriiod bis heaters to pauso
not. to delav not, and to tarr not, but to take tb
bigb road tba' leads from Babylon to Jerusalem
Kscape ior your Ine, lor the avenger oi blood is just
behind you.
SAFOIEOK III, THE DRAGON OP THE
APOCALYPSE.
A Discourse Delivered at the Moravian
Chapel, Sixth Street and Gli ard Avenue,
by the Rev. II. S. Hoffmau.
In tbe dally pare s of Saturday it was announced
that the fulject of "Tho Dovil of Revolutions xx;
who and what be Is," would be tbe subjeot of dis
cussion on Sunday evening, at tbe ball southwest
corner oi (Sixth sireet and Guard avenue. The Itov.
II. S. Ilcflm n officiated ou the occasion, and,
without taking any pat ticular toxt, dwelt at great
length upon tbe subjeot announood.
He thought there was an Imperative necessity lor
discussing the lulUlmeut ot propheiy, aud he did
not engage lu it merely for the sake of amusement.
1 he people, generally, wore not voiy much p esuod
whii tbe p'aln and simnle truth was preached to
thein. Tbe type of Christianity wlno'i prevails at
the present day rests upon mere traditions. The
people, when asked ior the lounda n n of thoir
tullh, go back and quote what was said by their
fnrefut tiers, no mutter how fa so it may have boon.
But tins traditionary state of Christianity is now
si ou to pass away. Ihe judgment is cot an event to
wl'ich we cau look for vard in the d stance: Its
lolde envelope us eveu now We are i ow standing
be lore the judgment seat of Christ The ai ire did
not say, "The hour of b s Judgment wil ooine some
time hereaflor," but "Tho hour of his judgment il
come."
'1 here have been two c'nsse of minds looking into
Ibis matter, Rt aiming the Apocalypse, and endea
voring to nnier.-tand its moaning. One ot tbese
Classes have taken the whole thing in a literal souse,
while Ihe others have rogardsd it as entirely
sp.ritua. Bnt the tiuth lies between tbe two ex
unie. Jt is noitlier liteial nor snirittia a one, but
tho evidence oi liberal things made tangloiethrouga
tl.e spirl nal. ...
In tt.e 20th chapter or Revelations two powers are
spokon ol tho bin ling po er and tlio po wor bound.
The Uiat of tneso I the aogol seon coming "down
from Leaven, baying the key ol the botlomtoss pit
and a great chain iu h s bund." The spoakor said
that In bis disoourse on last Sunday evening he had
Mi wn hi w this angol ot the bottomless pit was the
Mohammedan t ower, and how its empire had re
maned intact for tne prophssiod period ot a year, a
moi tli, and a day ot prophet, o time, or, one day
counting as a year, for 8'.1 years. In the year 1153,
gnui owdor was first used iu thosIe?o ol Constanti
nople, which was ths oominouoomeot of tho Uo
baniuiedaii po iodj and d.'l years added to tills
brings us down to 1844. tho yoar in whioli the king
dom of Greece secuied its own indopondenoa and
dtsitipted the Mohammedan sway.- Ihe Ue months
diinnr whioli ihe angol ot the no tomless pit, spoken
ol In the 13th chapter of Revelations as a star, or
' messenger," permuted swarms ut locusts, having
tne power of scorpions, to emerge irom it, tyuity
the exact period ot 1M) years during wlnoli tbe Cru
sades lastsd And a that rusadoa were conduotod
under tne sanction aud contio, of the Cburca of
Rome, that is, theteloro, tho bottomless pit ot the
A local ipse. , .
The drapon, the power tbat was bound in the
bottomless pit, Is represented as being "that old
tiorpont, which is tbe Devil." The word ' devil,"
in prot necy, is the ernblt iu lor murderer or acouser
of the brethren, as the term is elsowheto usod Ihe
speaker then at considerable leugth explained tho
nieanirgot foortien ditlcent symbols wliloh aro
nsrd in Revelations In connection with this dragon,
and showed how Napoleon ill had already fulfilled
his part as tbe dragon, in rolerono t to all oi them.
But tbo angol, after shutting up the draron in tho
bottomless pit, "set a seal upon linn, that hs should
decetvo the nations no moro, ti 1 the thousand rears
should be iu filled." This seal, in prophuoy, is
typioal of a binding oortraot, which, iu tins case,
was consummated In the year 864, to which tho
Turkish swat in Mohammedanism dates bao. To
this add the 1U00 yenrs during wnioa tbedragou was
to be kept confined in the bottomless pit, and we
have 18ti4, tbo very year in wh ch, bv a covenant
between victor Emanuel ard Napoleon HI, the
connection between tbe temporal and spuitual
power ol the Popo was severed, in the seventeenth
chapter oi Revelations, a beast having seven heads,
witti the name of I lasphomy written on t iora,
springs out of the bottomless pit. This beast with
feven heads typifies the seven Carlovingian kings,
and there are no other seven consecutive kinrs in
history to which it can be appuod. Ihs&e sevon
kiDgs sprang out ot the bo.tomlesa pit, because they
were anointed by the Pope; and they are roprosented
as havinp blasphemy written on their heads, booause
a man had thus arrogated unto himso.f a proroga
tire, of God In Rove a'loug 18th, th s seven
beaded monster is said to hare recived bis power
trom a beast or dragon, which rose up after him.
This typifies tbe connection betwoun the seven Car
lovingian kings and Napoleon 111.
Napoleon is, then, the dracon or tho devil. But
be is not the devil of the thoologians, with two
horns only, but ne has ten horns, whiou typify tne
ten powtrs confederated wi b bim. These are the
powers of Gog and Magog, who were loosed in 18ti4,
after the chaining of a ttiousaud years, and are now
going "up ou tbo b.ead hol the earth, and oom
pvstinsr the camp ot the saints about, and the be
loved city " lhonumt orot this confederated hjst
Is represented as the sand ot tne sea. This same ex
pression is used only iu tbe bciuntn of the thir
teenth chapter uf Revelations, and there tho period
ot forty- wo moittits, or three years and a half,
occurs, which must be the duration of the time
during which the dragon and his confederates are
to be permitted to com ass tbe camps ot tho saints
and the b loved city. Tbe close ot this period, com
mencing as it did in 1861 is t bore fore near at hand,
and the wor d is on ibe eve of preat events Napo
leon, like Pharaoh, Is raised np as the exponent of
tnis eve ten principle, that God may show his
p v er in him The principle of Napo eon's Govern
ment is that of a monarchy based upon tbe suff aes
ot tbe people. Tbis theory is gradually spreading,
and on it reconstructed Kurope is being e tabiished.
In this way n the dtapon securing the eo-opera ion
ot the nations or Ibe four quarters oi the earth, in
cluding t,o and Magog and gathering them toge
ther to battle.
'1 be object of this alliance, "tbe camp of the saints
aid the be'oved cit ," is tbe U'.ncd States of
America. Napoleon is even now troubling us
nugbtih on our Soutnern horde-a with hia sloxtcan
expedition. Sonvt may think it is about to come to
an end; but tbev are deceived. Napoleon will not
comidctc the evacuation in March next. And wo
need not wonder that Napoleon went baok on bis
premise to remove a quota of them in November of
mis year, since ne is tne devil whlo i heads this
ailianco of Gog and Magog. He belongs to that
c'as ot politicians who tako no acoouat of their
woidsi and, since be has not fulfilled hs first pro
mite, we need not count on muoh of a tu fllment of
the tecind. Like bis prototypes coming down
through ah tho ages, he always baa a lie ou his lips.
A nd be foresees bofore Maroh nexi the ooouirenoe
of events wh ch wi1 enable him to retain his posi
tion in Mexico. His influence on this continent will
never cea-e nnlil the end ot the Gentile power. But
this must soon come to pass, as ths lort -two months
are nearly expirod, and then will come the 11 nal
cat a trot he. when theso confederated powers shall
be overthrown, and the Devil, wbioh nas so long
deceived tbem, consigned to terrible torments.
