SENATOR WILSON S SOUTHERN TOUR Ills Opening Speech at Orange Court II o use, Virginia The Audience Composed Entirely of Ncfiroes, Etc. lIKiCHMONi), Va., April 21. Senator Wilson, of MsssacbUHelts, started yesterday on his politi cal missionary tour through the South. Leav ing Washington at fl o'clock In tbe morning by the Orange and Alexandria Hiillroad line, and pausing through the battle region of Virginia, pant Burke's (Station, with its half-demolished block houoe; Union Mills, with their blackened rains, standing by tbe stream across which the Union army marched to Bull Hun, Manassas Junction, Warrenton.elc ; Mappnbannock, with Its terrule reminiscences; Culpeper, where In a ii tat national cemetery the bodies of the Union soldiers who lell In the vicinity are collected; crossing the Hapldan, so long tne dividing line of the two armies, he arrived shortly before noon at Orange Court House, where his first speech was to be made. Thereare but few white people In thlsanclent, stunted town, and tho-e few have no love for politicians ol the Republican party. Therefore there was no gathering of citizens at the rail way station to bid the Senator welcome. There were a ccore or two ol colored men thare, and one oflthf m tried to get up a cheer for the mild looking, portly gentleman who, carpet-bug In ' hand, got out of the cars, on the chance ot his being Senator Wilson, but be did not succeed. The Senator, however, was taken In charge by Mr. Barnes, a New York gentleman, who has recently purchased a fine plantation near the village, and by a New York army officer, Captain McNnlty, who controls thefreedmen In this region. Abont 3 o'clock Mr. Wilson came to the Court House, in front of which were assembled some four or five hundred colored people men, women, and children. Their black faces beamed with satisfaction at sight of one whom they esteemed as a friend of their race, but they were not noisily demonstrative. The Introduc tion was to have been made by JJr. Terrel, a much respected citizen of Union sentiments; but the duty was taken out of his hands by Major Lee, who Is said to have boasted, as the war was about to open, that he could drive the Yankees out of Washington with cornstalks, but who, nevertheless, kept out of the Kebel army, and who now represents the District in the State Senate. The intioducllon speech of Major Lee was rather wordy, but It came to an end. He in formed his bearers, rather unnecessarily, that they were no longer slaves, but free citizens of the United Stales, and he asked them to give (Senator Wilson as respectful a hearing us he wonld set in Faneuil Hall. No cheers greeted Mr. Wilson as he prepared to speak. The colored people seemed to have too much reverence for him to manifest their feelings in that way. They gathered upon and around the stairs leading to tbe porch from which he spoke, and looked up to hltn as to a superior being. A muscular female, with a military Jacket on her back, and a white hand kerchief worn ttirbanwlseou her head, squatted herself at his feet. Some few white men were on tbe portico, and a few others stood on the street to listen to the speech, seeming to regard it, however, as a matter in which they had no concern. Over the scene the sua shone bright and warm. Senator Wilson's speech was addressed almost ex clusively to the colored pwople. Having briefly sketched the anu-alavery agitation from IBM lu ltsi. and the events wlilcb led Immediately to tbe war, he declared that be wan among those who believed that the war was Inevitable; tnat lu tbe straggle between freedom and slavery neither would ipiietly give way to tbe otber, and that tbe war was one of God Almighty's great contests. They knew tbe result. Four millions of bondmen had been raised to citizen ship ; every man and woman beloiebim was as tree and bad tbe same rights as himself, and those rights tbev would have so long as the nation lived. Addressing himself to the white Virginians, he de clared tbat notwithstanding the great .sacrifices made in order to Bupport the Government and prese ve the nation, tbe people of tbe loyal States bad no teellng of hatred or revenge towards any portion ol their coun trymen. They rejoiced at tbe close of the contest. They wanted the whole controversy settled on the eternal basis of justice. They believed that it should be so settled that all persons, black and while, should have equal rights before tbe law. They wanted to elevate tbe lowly, out not to pull down any body or to torge ahains or fetters for any. Ha declared bis belief that if wltbiu a few months after the close ot the war tbe terms now proposed had been submitted to tbe South they would have been Joyfully accepted, and tbe Gov ernment would have been regarded as liberal to a tault. Mr. Lincoln had, during tbe war, laid down eight conditions. To the.se Mr. Johnson bad, after the war, added six cond Hons. He (Mr. Wilson) would rather have taken off six tb-n added them on. lie had tbougbt tbe twenty thousand dollar exception objectionable, and had ao told Mr. Johnson at the time What was wanted then and what was wanted now was lor all classes to go resolutely to work to repair tbe losses sustained during the war, and It the wesltby men could give employment to tbe freedrnen and pay tbem good wages tuat would help to settle many difficult questions. He had, therefore, thought tbat provision an uuwlse one, and detrimental to the Interests of the whole country, .No man had ever since asked him to sign a recommenda tion tor pardon tbat lie had not cheerfully done so. He would have excepted from pardon a tew of those hootbern benators and members of tbe House of Kepreseutallves who, while sitting in tbe national councils, had plotted tbe ltehellion, and then be would have Issued agenerul proclamation 0( pardon, and would at the same lime have required the people of the Southern Slates to amend their constitutions and laws, and make every person, white and black, equal before tbe laws. General Sherman had said to him at tbat time thai he would as soon trust the then Legislatures of Georgia aud ihe Caroltnas as any new men the people might elect, because they were then ready to agree to anything that the Gov ernment might require of them. Hue the misfor tune was that no sooner had Mr. Lincoln fallen than a class of men gathered around bis successor aud whispered Into his ear the delusive hop of his being the great chielof agreat conservative party. They might always noiice one thing that when a man meant to do a mean thing he always spoke of bis being conservative. (Laughter.) Conservatism was a negative word, and had no virtue In It. These men bad whispered to Mr. Johnson that it was time to organize a great conservative purly, a sort of revi vified War Democracy, from which tbe radicals of both ends of tbe country were to be sloughed off although if the radicals were slouelied oil from the Republican parly there would be migkty little left ot it. ' (Laughter.) The President, without calling CoDgress together, adopted a policy of bis own, contrary to the opinion of niuety-nine of every hun dred of those who had elected hint. He governed the Southern States just as lie chose, aud those Slates endorsed his policy, Tlint policy assumed all tbat Congress now assumed. If tne Southorn Stales endorsed the President's policy they had no right to complain of the policy of Congress. Jtut the policy of the i'resident iiud perished. It bad gone down under the stern condemnation ot the American people, aud would come buck no more to curse the country, Congress had, alter months of investigation, consideration, aud comparison 01 notes, seltled tbe policy elaborated in tbe Military Hecoustruutlou bill. Thai bill had no lather: It wns made up of contribu tions from several quarters It seemed to him that tne great baud of God, which had been visible during the last seven years of struggling, had moulded and shaped aud framed tbat great measure. blnou Its passage the mightiest change had taken place In the acta and conduct of tbe people of tbe South. No murder of a colored man bad been reported to the liureau for thiiuirlit this was owing to tbe mili tary power embodlod iu that bill. He did not Impute the change to ibat, but to the fact that it put Into the ha of tb was lio be divided lnlo two g, est political ilu.-", t .mh.r tn 'who Relieved In the freedom 'of all meu.

Intellectually, lhat ever dis graced humamtv but who In tbe smoke of battle, had seen that Illusion disappear, and wbonow be lieved In theuld Hag and In tne uollov of the freedom and elevation of all classes, he Invited tbem to plant themselves i Ight square on that platform of principles, lr there were any oislranchlsed by the Constitutional amendment tbey could still lend their voice and in fluence In favor of compliance with the conditions Imposed, and lliey would demonstrate by such patri otic and unselfish ronduct that Iheir disabilities ought to be removed, and they would be speedily removed, If the men who believed what he stated here to dav would stand right up and lake their places they could carry the Commonwealth of Virginia by a large ma jority, and control Us policy for years. Major Lee, who had introduced Senator wit son, came forward again and discoursed for an hour or more with they negroes, reminding them that be and they had grown up together, played together, fished together, occasionally lought each other, and were good friends gene rally. ("Oh, yes," said a black man, with a familiar gesture; "but you shut the school door in our laces,") Mnjor 1ce protested that he bad done nothing of the kind; but the laugh and the decision were against him. He re minded them that Huunlcutt, in whom they had such confidence, had, before the war, opposed the building of a church for colored, people in Fredericksburg, and that the people of that city, against whom this mi tne Hunnicutt was now stirring up the neeroes to hostility, bad deeded a church ou credit. He also inlormed them that Massachu setts was the first State to eugage in the slave trade and the last to give It up; that Fred Doug lass could not get a seat in the New York Con stitutional Convention, and that the people of Rochester would not allow Fred Douglass' son-in-law, John Sprngue, to keen a hack for hire. A smart, bright looking mulatto named Wil liam Lucas, who teaches a colored school in Gordonsville, came forward aud made a short, sensible speech, advising tbe men of his race to vote for those whom they knew to be their friends, and not for those who would put the handcuffs on tbem again If they had tbe power. Senator Wilson came forward to answer some points made by Major Lee. Ue declared his belief tbat nlneteeu-twentleths of the colored voters would vote for the men who bad secured to tbem their liberties. A white man la the crowd asked Mr. Wilson In reference to confis cation. Mr. Wilson recited that if the Southern States retmed to settle tbe question on the basis of equal rights and Justice confiscation might come. He would not say mat it would come; but ha would say that if tbey accepted the Constitutional amendment, reconstructed their State Governments, and elected men to Congress who could honestly take the oath, tbey bad beard the last of this matter of con fiscation. At the close of the speaking, Dr. TerrlU pro posed three cheers for Senator Wilson, to which the colored people responded heartily. Senator Wilson is to speak in this city to-morrow, in compliance with a written request to that effect by Governor Pierpont and many members of the Slate Legislature, which is now in session. His objectappears to be to encourage the forma tion of a new party in this State, to be composed chiefly of members of the old Whig party, and to be sustained by the colored vote, which is expected to be cast as a unit. The absence of John Minor Botts from tbe meeting at Orange yesterday occasioned some remarks. WORTH AND SOUTH CAROLINA. Important Order of General Sickles.

The steamer Thomss Appold. from Norfolk. huunU to liuslon, loui'bed here this morning, and took on board a isrge numnerof Iron gun-carilftKes. which were made ai the arsenal here, and cousiKnud to Fort War. eu, hoston harbor. The manufacture of these Iron gun-carriaKes keepi a larte force of mechanics in constant employment, and requires the attention of several ollicers ofllie ord nance (lepnrtment, besides a very great expenditure In procartnr. the wroiiKlit-lron pinion and rails. The rails are obtained by contract, principally from Buf falo, Nfw Yoi k, and the iron plales from the dliferrut foundries In the Norm. in reality, however, the carriages and chaises are merely put together at this Arsenal, and the freight alone on the material for their munufuclure, which Is heavy and diflicult to handle, amounts 10 no Incon siderable figure, Jn consequence, the cost ot each gun-carriane, with Its chassis, by the time It is ready lor shipment to any fortification in the country, realises a pretty heavy sum; but, notwithstanding this fact, they are being rapidly shipped off and taking the place ol Ihe antique uud cumbeisome wooden pat terns so Ioiik In use. It wns rumored some nays since, thut the Arsenal would be closed uulil tbe In vestigation ot some iron contracts was made by Uene ral ltuller aud Ihe other members of a committee ap pointed by Congress to examine Into tho expendi tures of the Ordinance .Department, but no such action has vet been taken, and It Is hardly likely auy surh is desired by the Government. The treed men's Kureau also shipped on the Appold a parly of Hume filly colored people, en route to Boston, wheie situations and i mploymenl as wallers aud ser vants In hotels and private fumllles have been pro vided for them by the agents of the Bureau, Tne depopulation of the negroes on the Peninsula Is taking place at a very enoouratring rote, through the exer tions of the energetic ollicers ot ihe Bureau. Many of tbem ot all classes are departing for the Norm, and to other counties of the t-ituie. where tbey mav be able to obtain something more than a meagre subsistence.' The tut mere and landholders in the couuiies of the peninsula are gradually beginning to appreciate the real stuius ot the race, und are not backward In oOerlng tbem assistance In securing work and farm ing the lands which they have rented. This liberal spirit, fostered by tbe ivise policy of (ien. Armstrong, ibe superintendent ot the Freed uien's Bureau affairs In this district, begins to be more aoparent. And it Is acknowledged, even by all of the former bitter Rebel-, who proudly cherished their haired towards the negro, thai it is only bv their education uud proper culture tbe desired end of peace aud tranquil lity can be secured. The disturbances among the land-owners and the colored tenants are growing constantly less every day, and Ibe agricultural prospect this season of those engaged in farming, both while and colored, look far more hopeful and encouraging than even ihe most sanguine had reason to ex peel. The negroes are being KludioUBly Impressed with tbe main Idea of being self dependent, and with the stoppage of ra tlons, which was commenced last October, the strongest Incentives to work and provide for them selves, without tbe assistance of tbe Freedmen's Bureau, have thus been created, and, fortunately, with a very gratifying effect. In the former administration of the Freedman's liureau, the negroes naturally looked forward to ibeir regularly Issued rations, with an assurance of being comfortably provided for as tar as the Inner man was concerned, and In many eases the Government farms and confiscated buildings furnished mem sbelter, but now Ibis order of things has been very perceptibly changed, and Tel mev are as iraciiioie. ana iar nup- . . .. . i.

The statements that an expedition of explora tion to Kusslan America is being organized at the Stale Department are premature and erroneous. The trentv of cession, though rati fied by the United States, has no yet been rati fied by Russia. Tbe ow-snm, therefore.

Senator Sumner Is engaged In writing out nis Sf eech in executive session on the Husstan treaty for publication. Vacant Offices. There are not more than twenty official va cancies left over by the Senate. MoH of these are Post Offices and Internal Hevenue offices In Indiana. Illinois, and Wisconsin. It is held by the President that nnder the tenure of oftloe bill, the Post Offices unprovided for by the Senate are closed. Universal guflrage la the North. Senator SumnT has written a letter for pub lication on his b 1'. establishing universal suf frage at the North. The July Meeting. There seems to be no expectation on the part of members of Congress of a July session, anil most of them have made other arrangements for tbe occupation ol ibeir tune. The Senate Adjournment Stimtrtni unices Unfilled The Mediation Keso- aolatlons. Yesterday was a quiet, uneventful day In the National Capital. The Senate having ad journed, tbe office-hunters fixed or unfixed, tbe lobbyists gone home, tho lull about the Capitol, hotels, and public places Is very re freshing. , . ..... The Senate on Saturday had dwindled down to less than a quorum, and adjourned fine die without filling all the vacnncles, which, with t o exceptions, are in the West, thus leaving nine offices without Postmasters in Illinois, fit. d one In Pennsylvaniathe latter believed to be Milton and four or five vacancies In the offices of Internal Revenue in Indiana, Illinois, and Wlsconsiu. No Consul (ifiierHl i.t Havana was confirmed under the Tenure of Office act. The vacancies cannot be tilled, as they could previous to the passage of the law, by the President during the recess of Congress. It is naid that Charles 8. Abell was eoofirmed as Collector of Internal Revenue for the First District of Pennsylvania, after hav ing once been rejected for tbe same office. Alexander Cummings having beon confirmed bh Collector of Internal Reveuue for the Fourth District of the State, leaves the Governorship of Colorado vacant. The last hours of the Senate, it wilt be no ticed, were devoted to the humane work of at temping mediation in Mexican and European h flairs. Sumner, Henderson, and Johnsou each hHd a resolution proposing friendly Inter ference, or rather advice, to unhappy Mexico; but each met the same fute, namely, to lay ou tbe table. The resolution of Senator Johnson, advising and requesting tbe President to offer to the contending parties in Mexico the friendly me diation of the United States, which was offered in open Senate Saturday, is precisely the same us the one submitted in executive session on the 16th Instant, and which had been confiden tially printed. Senator Cole broached a new topic when he offered a resolution lor mediation between France and Prussia. Tbe idea is not regarded favorably here among people in general. Tbere is a feeling that the United States can very well let Europe severely alone, but that It would be proper and well timed to adopt some plan of mediation in tbe affairs of the much shaken and perpetually disturbed Mexican republic. Probability of No Quorum In July. The Chronicle of to-day says: When the I? enate adjourned tbe impression seemed to he almost universal that there would be no quorum in either House on the 3d of July next, 'ibe feeling between the Senators and the Exe cutive was so comparatively cordial, and the intelligence irom tne Noutn promising submls t-lon to the terms ot reconstruction so aim picious, that very few doubted that the great measures of congress baa anticipated and fore closed all chance of difficulty and dissension.

The Attorney-General has given no such instructions to Mr. Chandler, and ills probable tbat Mr. Davis will bo permitted to continue his lessons In painting unmolested lor some time longer. From the West General Hancock's Indian Expedition. St. Louis, April 22. Tbe Democrat's special correspondent with Geuer .l Hancock's Indian expedition, gives an account of a council held at Fort Larned ou the 12lh lust., between Gene ral Hancock and fifteen Cheyenne chiefs. The Council amounted to nothing; only a part of the chiefs of the tribe was in attendance and t hose present gave but an equivocal reply to General Hanoock's speech to them. Tbe next day General Hancock moved to wards the Cheyenne oamps, and when about half-way, was met by over three hundred chiefs and warriors, who professed peace; but that night the whole trlbel abandoned the village, leaving their wigwams, hut taking everything of value. General Custer's command was sent In pursuit, but had not returned when the latter closed. The indications point to a confedera lion between tbeCheyennes and tbe Sioux for t-vtl purposes. General Hancock intended to burn tbe Cheyennes' village on the Utb. Burning: of the New York and Erie )levavtor at Buffalo. From the Buffalo Commercial Advertiter ot Saturday we gather the following particulars ot the destruction by fire of the New York and Erie Elevator in that city, early on the morn ing of that day: The elevator, which was owned by George W. Tifl'i, and was loused for a term of eight years to Cyrus Clarke, A. J. Holt, O. L. Nitns, and others, contained about 110,000 bushels of grain, owned by these and otber parties. The grain Is all damaged. The building la a moss of ruins, though tbe tower and fragment ary portions of the walls remain. The origin of tbe fire, which was first discovered In the tower, is unknown, but it is not probable tbat It was tbe work of an incendiary. We incline to the opinion that it was occasioned by spontaneous combustion, as the elevator, after having beeu idle all winter, was started yesterday for the' first time, unloading, during the day and even ing, the Golden West. Work whs stopped at 0 o'clock, and everything was al lhat time re ported as cool and safe, , There were stored in the e.dvator, as nearly as can be ascertained, between lSS.OOO aud 140,000 bushels of grain, composed for the moHt part of corn and omIs, together with a small quantity of rye. This grain, though all more or less damaged. Is by no means spoiled. A great part of it has been wet by water from the engines; much of It has fallen Into the oreek. while larne quantities have fallen wltb the whIIs. becoming partially burned mid hnriiv smoked. Coinpeteut and proiniuent Insurance men, however, give it as their opinion tuat a I salvage ot a per ceui. win oe enected. The elevator building entire was valued a fjTQ.OOO. on which there Is an lusuranoe to the amount of 69,000. , . . In addition to ihe elevator, Mr. Tiffi's private office Is considerably charred and damaged, to gether with ft large pile of lumber standing adjacent to It. The elevator was surrounded on the Ohio street side by large wooden sheds, which are entirely consumed. Of th "beds Mr. Tifltowtred one-half and Mr. 0n ln other; the latter has an Insurance ol laXX) on the sheds. Mr. Tint baa none. , , i The insurance on tbe grain (140,000 bushels) most go very far toward covering the loss upon lit- ' ' ' j THE CITY PULPIT. "THE WORLD OR YOUR SOUL" Sermon by Rev. a.

'What shall it proU a man if he shall gain the whole world and losehisownsouit'Markvm.&i. "What shall U profit a manf" The very ques tion which men put at the bottom of all tbe enterprises of life. The consideration on which li luges every outlay of capital, every Invest ment of possessions, every exertion of ener. fles, every decision with respect to life's eati ng and life's alms. And here is a praotloal proposition given, tbe acquisition of the wbole world, with tbe loss of your sool, to find the profit attained. Your every day arithmetic is equal to tbe solution of the problem. And this proposition is not only practical, but most solemn aud momentous in issue to every one Every one has a soul ever to exist in one of two states. Every one has more or less of the world before him open to his acquisition. To every one the salvation of his soul Is offered Ann everyone has access to that revelation which makes known the mngntficent provision mi.de for his soul's snivel ion. the grace that bestows that priceless beneflt.and the conditions requisite necessary to attaining it. Thisprono sitlon is made to each and at,, with the view to prompt them to a careful consideration of its b arlngs on their moral lelattous and their eternal destinies. Shall not this very honr be devoted to the momentous calculation ? Tne spirit of truth guide us, an.i held ns to a decision. Let us proceed to gather the l?ms or profit on one side and loss on the other, foot tbem up, and strike the balance. And this with the understanding that our future spiri tual ways shall be governed by that balance. And first, "gain the whole world," and wht have you? What does the world afford ? Sil ver anu goiu, nouses aua lanas, sumptuous living and a brilliant equipage. Yes, It oan cover you with honors, surfeit you with plea sures, surround you withjfawnlng sycophants. It can endow you with power, load you with cares, distress you with anxieties, harass you with fears. It can swell you with pride, freeze you with huugfitlness, stlflen you with selfish ness! Here ends the catalogue, ns far as our observation cxten .s. We have uever heard of the widest possessions bestowing anything dif ferent. We tone beard of these things accom panying occupancy of the world in full propor tion to the amount In hand. And now, let us see what we have here. Silver and gold. Conveniences, indeed! Use ful gifts of a kln'i Providence. "Treasures luid up ou earth." however, "where moth and rust corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal." And tbe con stant dreud of this rust and moth and thieves, Is their sure entailment. Sometimes, too, "they take to themselves wings," and their tenure becomes very uncertain. Houses and lands. Comforts, Indeed; necessary blessing, for which their possessor owes a debt of grati tude to the gracious Giver not easy to pay. Yet they furnish their comfort to the flesh only, nor go beyond the coufines of this life; of earth tbey are, to earth adapted only, with earth re main. The spirit goes away without them, leav ing them behind, then they are of no worth. Sumptuous living and brilliant equipage. Neither conveniences, nor necessary comforts. The first, a magnificent plsgue of body, decay ing its functions, ruining its symmetry, and rendering its working pain! The other, a grand, pompous corrosive of tbe soul, eating out sensibility, poisoning the springs or thought and the motives ot action, and breed ing a self-consequence tbat closes the avenues of benevolence.and makes man a disproportion ed monster. Honors and pleasures. A brllllaqt shadow the one, the other, an imaginary en tertainment. Neither seems what His. Neither satisfies. With both at command, the head aches, the heart burns, the life becomes a weariness, the past is a blank, the present, sor row; the future, nothing but darkness and hide ous apparitions, so fearful, as to make It a dreod to take one step Into It 1 Fawning syco phants. The obsequious "friends," the hungry parasites of the rich and honored, while they have blood for them to suck and fatten on ! V Kfivond that. thnnnnmlnH whnrlAlloht. In thai. fall and contribute to their anguish ! Power. Remember the sycophants, and know this. The ability to seem to sway as many as you can will pay for making a fool of you! But enough. To gain the world we see is to obtain some things, temporally considered both necessary and sub stantial; some things, In any light viewed, empty, frivolous, valu; some things perplexing, burdensome, dangerous! And all you attain and use, in their fullness, and exclusively only by contracting with the prluoe of this world to "fall down and worship him !" You thus mort gage your existence, assured of foreclosure, Just at that stage of It when you most need some tniugs to furnish you tbe relief "adrop of water" could afford ! For you caunot take a single one of these things with you wheu you exchange worlds! ' Grant them, then, the power of serving your purposes and securing your peace while you have them (which latter all experience affirms is not the case), tbe time is surely coming when lhat power shall be wrested from them. They are ol the world, and the benefit of them Is only for the world. But man wants more ! He goes further, and he wants something to carry with him; something to breast tbe waves of death; something to stand upon and refer to when a righteous Judgmentsuall make its requisitions t Rut when we remember that their natural In fluence upon man's spirit is to make it earthly, sensual; to put It Into bondage to the Prince of this world, debarring it from tbat association and those exercises whioh alone can satisfy the cravings of its nature, and develope Its true vitality and powers, we can truly see what profit the gain of the whole world Is. We need not underrate tbe real value ot the possessions of this world, nor condemn the pursuit of law ful temporal gains aa either improper orde truct lve; to see. after all, tbat the best the world can give, of itself, is visionary, transient, un satisfactory. ' ruinous! Whut. than In tha- Kworld's all, viewed as an offset to that "better anu enuurtngsunstanoe" which a graotous God pliers, to faith, the price ol whioh to Him la the blood of His well-beloved Son? But let us look al the other side before we decide definitely. This is. Secondly. The loss of one's own souL And what does this Involve? To shorten tbe matter we might combine it all in one sentence: Ex clusion from the blessedness of Heaven and consignment to the bitterness of hell, forever and ever ! For the loss of the soul Is its remain ing without the salvation which Is by Jesus Christ. But there are Items here too. To lose the soul is is to be forever cut off from communication with (Jod.
