HEMS A R SUNDAY SERMON. Discourse by Rev. Wm. Young Chapman. Brooklyn, N. Y.?Dr. William Young Clnjgmau. pastor of the Lafayette AveW^M nue Presbyterian Church. Buffalo, pretiched Sunday at both services in the Central Presbyterian Church. In the morning lie had as his subject "Churchgoing Abolished." The text t .was from Revelation xxi:22: "And 1 ' ^rr no temple thereiu." Dr. Chapm man said: Among many things in this sublime I apocalypse of St. .lolin hard to be un derstood there is one thing that stands V out with clearness and certainty, and L that is the vision of the perfected H Akn?i, ti?. cm.iair It i< the VUOIVII, UJV lurdi -V -- Bfe* f same church triumphant ami perfect there that is militant and defective r^jLhere. The same souls that struggle ^Und suffer here are they that walk in white and wave palms of victory there. Biere we see as in a glass darkly, ^iere they see face to face. Here we ^now in part, there they know as they are known. Joan had given to him a divine horoscope, revealing the consummation and absolute i>erfection of the essential characteristics of the kingdom of Hod concentrated in the imperial capital of the universe?the city of Hod. By every sort of figure and symbol are its glories sot forth. And we learn as much about it by what is said negatively as by what is said positively. Thus we are told it has streets of gold and gates of pearl and a sea of glass aud all the most costly and beautiful things of this world, while ail that is disagreeable ? pain, sickness, sorrow, sin. death?is wanting there. There is nothing to hurt or annoy, 110 night. no more sen. no lempie. And it strikes us at tirst thought as rery strange that there sltor.ld be no temple, 110 central place of worstiip in a city which we are accustomed to think is altogether devoted to religion. And yet the text states a great truth which I want to treat broadly, and 1 Relieve the text contains easily the subject by wbicb 1 have chosen to entitle this discourse. "Churcbgoing Abolished." The end being attained, the means are discontinued. Hence there are no more churches. 110 times, nor places, nor forms: no liturgie nor rituals; no ecclesiastical machinery such as we know here. And, surely, this must come as a welcome announcement to many a tired churchgoer in this world who finds his religious duties more or less irksome, and to many a non-churchgoer, who does not feel quite comfortable in his neglect of formal religious exercises. Many there are who indulge an indifferent hope of heaven as a sort of Mohammedan paradise, where they may enjoy an eternal holiday, basking In the uncreated rays, drinking from and bathing in the waters of the fountain of life, eating the twelve manner of rruits and sailing on me giassy sen. But they would hardly he attracted to a place where this ceaseless round of ecclesiastical duties should go on forever. Imagine such a one enjoying the delights of that glorious city, counting the towers thereof, marking well her bulwarks and admiring her foundations of jasper and sapphire and chalcedony and sardius and emerald and sardonyx and chrysolyte and beryl and topaz and chrysoprasus and jacinth and amethyst, when suddenly there comes a peal from the golden bells and poor soul, he must take himself off to prayers. Let such a one be comforted, for John says he saw no temple there, and we dare to infer from that statement that there is no synagogue, nor mectiping house, nor Sunday, nor formal religious exercise, "for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it." It becomes us to inquire more closely into the truth involved here. And if what John saw was the church triumphant, if the conditions he saw were the perfection of what is rudimentary here, if the Holy City. New Jerusalem, is continually coming down from God out of heaven, then we ought to be refcllzlng more r.ud more on earth that heaven iyconuition. I believe that condition is illustrated by the progressive church of Christ on earth. Think for a moment of the advantages we have over the ancient Jewish worshiper. He had his central place of worship. Throe times a year he must make his pilgrimage to Jerusalem, from even the remotest corner of the land. Over many a rugged mile he must travel with his family and his sheep and oxen for sacrifice and his tent and provision for his journey, in order to perform his religious duties. There at Jerusalem was the temple. There he expected to meet Cod, or at least there Cod would be propitious. There was the priest who could offer his sacrifice and present his confession to God. There was the holy place and the most holy place, the locus of the Jewish worship. Even in far off lands, when he worshiped he turned his face toward the temple, as if his heart were there, in any case. Then. too. his daily devotions found expression in a most elaborate ceremonial. There were divers' washings, as there were multifarious causes of uncleauness. There were tithings and manifold offerings. There were sin offerings and peace offerings, all associated with infinite trouble to the worshiper. These minute requirements were Infinitely multiplied by the JewIn the time of Christ and His apostles. oa Kof l?\a!*a a# if n l- o a! a ou iuui x vin c|?uuc vi u cic <i %i vxr "which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear." Now it was immunity from these intolerable burdens that was the first great practical boon of Christianity. Our Lord stated the precious truth to the woman at the well. Said she. "Our fathers worshiped in this mountain (Terezimi. and ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship." Jesus saith unto her. "Woman, believe Me. the hour cometh when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. But the hour cometh and now is. when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth. r t;od is a spirit, and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth." It was one of the first meanings of Christ's sacrifice, to abolish the temple. When He bowed His head in death on Calvary und said "It is finished," "the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom,** and the whole significance of the temple service passed away. The temple ' itself did not long survive the death of / Christ, and the ecclesiastical capital was soon destroyed. Henceforth the J* Church of God in the world was on a i different basis. Henceforth God be^ came accessible without offering or ( k . priest, without temple or altar, and irA respective of locality. We are enjoying A in a measure that rest which Christ wr came to give?rest from ceremonial burdens. We are living in the dispensation 'of the spirit, and the church is wherever the spirit moves men to wor ship. Wherever the Holy Spirit has and planted the gospel of Christ j In the hearts of men, turning their T thoughts and affections to God, there is the cnurch. It matters not whether it be in Greenland's iey mountains or In-' iN dia's coral strand. It matters not ' whether it be in gorgeous cathedral or in mountain cave. It matters not 5 whether the worshiper be white or Sl> black, whether he worship on his knees or on hi* feet or on his back, so long as lie worship iu spirit and in truth. Christianity so far as it consists of a visible performance at all is the most tli natural and spontaneous outgo of the cn religious instincts to God. and religious tit worship is essentially a personal com- T1 nntnion with Cod. and in such form th and place as is best suited to the wor- se shiper and most in accordance with the tli will of God. 4 .11 Hence, you will see. one of the prime i?j charm '.eristics ??f the church triumph- th an: is perfect liberty. "Get religion." fr said. Augustine, "and do as you please." th r.y which he meant if you truly get re- j,fl ligion you will always please to do i (,f right. Paul means the same thing i ; when lie says. "It" ye be in the spirit j sti ye are not under the law." And Jesus ; a? meant the same Vi hen lie said. "Make of the tree good atul his fruit will be j c< good." And hence, the idea! Christian j uu lit.- is perfectly pontaneous. oho- J i;: , dicnec is not by compulsion of law. but bu by impulsion of love. "All the law is t)f fulfilled in one word, 'Thou shalt sk | love." " j j?. We have heard not a little about 1 ai] "the consent of the governed." and we p. i are likely to hear more. The state- j c:l ment as it stands in that famous doeumotit will not bear a literal application, jjf Put there is good reason to believe ljn that our fathers knew what they were I or; ( talking about. If they had said, "gov- , ln. ' ernment derives its potency from the : Avj i consent of the governed" they would I pi i have been uttering the exact truth. ; Wj Statutes are inoperative until the sub- j ro jects consent. Perfect society implies' perfect acquiescence it: the will of the ! j?. superior or law making power. The _> > more society progresses toward unity, j the simpler and more equable will gov- jn, ernment become, because the more gen- ' js eral will be the consent acquiesence t in the government. Paul says. "I con- pj sent unto the law that it is good." and j ro, in the perfect society of John's vision j pjj each man enjoys perfect liberty be- ' sj, cause the will of the governor and the j,r, governed are in perfect correspond- j once. Each individual does as he i jj, pleases and at the sauie time does as lie pleases. Hi In some such way the perfect com- , nniuity is characterized uy periect | jnj unity without uniformity. Each per- I p0 forms his own duty in his own way, J ^y but is all the while in perfect liar- fj,: mony with his neighbor. Again, in the I ;m perfected society fhere is no distinc- [ tion between the religious and the sec- j ,-?in ular. Here we have our times and ! -j, places of religion. We gather here in wj this house of prayer, believing that J God is present here as lie is not in , -p otlter places, as. indeed. He has prom- ' (j0 ised to bo. It is God's concession to ?f our limitations and infirmities. Bui j it is far from the ideal. We are apt , fat to identify religion with the means ol W{] religion, rather than religion itself. 1 ]i0 We get grace by our religious exercises sj, to keep God's commandments in ali our walks of life, and that istreligion. no The members of tbe church triumphant are equally religious every day of 0j~ the week and every hour of the day, rPj and bene?, church-going in our sense sj, of the word, is forever abolished. In jn that society, one does not need to say ja] to his brother. "Know the Lord." for , 0'p all shall know Him from the least tc S;l] the greatest. There is no more preach- ( (jf ing. "no toitiple therein." tljj Once more: it is obvious that the ,.0] mora fnitiifni ntnl dovoted wo are tc , the menus of religion here the sooner jjy j we shall be fitted to do without them. 0V( Your child, learning to play the piano, 1 ?0] finds it hard labor to spell out note by ; ^.j note, conforming to the rules and nidiincuts of practice. By and by she will i js* ' go beyond the rules. She will acquire , ?n; the genius of the skilled performer. j And the more diligently we observe t;u our religious duties here the sooner I we shall get beyond them. The more faithful we are now to the times and places of religious worship tlie sooner w." shall we be ready for that society \ r * ; where all life is religious. . a Zachariah had that vision ages be, fore John had it. when he saw "Holi- 1 7 ness to the Lord" inscribed on the , n bells of the horses and the pots in '.j,( the Lord's house, as sacred as the inj i howls of the altar: yen, and every pot | (-0 in Jerusalem as holy as the vessels of ; 1 the sanctuary. That was at least a ] glimpse of the templeless city of God. J ns, And now shall we not keep before y ' us that Ideal? Let us not oe uiscuur- ; aped by the great disparity between (f)* that far-off perfection- and present -ts reality. The poet well expresses our f feeling: " \ Oh, Land of Promise, from what Fis- rj? gahs height I rj!

Among the many remarkable acts of the Maine Legislature, recently adjourned, was the passage of a law establishing a lien on gravestones, by which the marble worker may, within two years from the erection of the stone, take possession of the memorial in satisfaction of any sum that may at that time remain unpaid. When the law was under consideration in the legislature it attracted very little attention, but now that it has been passed there has arisen a great storm of protest. The law is denounced as "ghoulish," and the legislature and tombstone makers are being roundly abused for their utter lack of decency in thus opening a legal way to the invasion of the sacred .ts of the dead. But it is the law and Maine people who wish to rest easy in tbelr graves must now make sure before death that the tombstone maker will be paid in full.

It is usually this way: She has been feeling "out of sorts'* for some time; head has ached and back also; -has slept poorly, been quite nervous, and nearly fainted once or twice; head dizzy, and heart-beats very fast; then that bearing-down feeling, and during her menstrual period she is exceedingly despondent Nothing pleases her.
