The sermon was an able one, filled with patriotic and christian sentiments and strongly appealing to higher instincts of tho listenors. Tho text was taken from II Kings 20:15. During his dlscourso Hov. Hccbucr referred briefly to immigration and said that strangers who como to tho shores of America must not think that Liberty is to be pulled down from her lofty citadel and construo n welcome, or tho liberty nfforded them, as a license, to do ns they please.

It the laws nro defectivo or improper thero is a placo in which thoy may bo changed or amended. If tho American people intend that tho honor and glory of their nation shall bo perpetuated let it be known ovory- whero that their trust Is in God. They may all bo for gold, or all for silver, hut tho nation as ft nation must bo saved If tho pcoplo hold to their faith in God.
