christian men and women, tho fathers,

Christ, feasted upon heavenly manna
and gathered strength for the duties,

the wounds of this life; where the

days of revival and rejoicing, led thc
devotions of great congregations;

remember that the patriarch, Juco
br.vmg left his father's tent, at Bm
sheba,, .Did journeying to dista
Parian aram, to his mother's fallu
af the close of tho first dny's tra>
collected a few stones and. ntaced
I them "oil tile gfWfand, that he might
recline against them and sleep in the
open air end beneath tho twinkling
! stars, and there he beheld the ladder
resting on tho earth and reaching to
I Heaven, and the angels of God as
j rending and descending upon it-a
vision significant and sublime-and
Jacob awaked out of bis sleep und
said: "Surely tho Lord is in this
pince aud I knew it not. " And he
was afraid, nud said: "How dreadful
is this plae*?l This is none other but
the house of God, and this is the
gute of Heaven." The house of God
and tho gate of Heaven is the place
where mau commune? with his Maker;
where the guilty, pleading tho merits
of the guiltless, depending on the
peace-speaking blood of atonement,
clinging to tho Redeemer's cross,
obtain mercy and exult in the liberty
of the children of God; where the
burdened soul, the tempest-tossed
spirit, the perplexed, tempted be?
liever eries to the Father, implore?
his aid, his presence, his blessing.
There the way-worn pilgrim finds his
rest, the pince of tho divine mani?
festation, the ladder reaching to the
throne on high, the ministry of
angels, the house of God and tho
gab? of Heaven. Solemn temples,
gorgeous cathedrals, stately struc?
tures resounding with organs aud
anthems and chantings, beautiful
with paintings and rilled with a "dim
religious light," aro not the only
places where the Lord dwells and
meets his people. These may br
employed to uphold a vast system <>i
superstition by charming tho senses,
delighting the imagination at the ex?

?hall feel that our tittie chapel is his
house and that we are now "heirs of

Jesus Christ; if so be that we suffer
with him that we may be also glori?

not in the blast.

Translating thc word" prayer, in
the text, worship, lot us briefly con?
sider the religious services established
by Jesus, himself, aud observed by
tue Apostolic Church. The blessed
Saviour said to the woman of Sama?
ria: "The hour cometh, and now is,
when the true worshippers shall wor?
ship tho Father in spirit and in
truth." Our Lord, in his example
and precepts, prescribed tho parts of
worship. Ile was baptised. He
I went into the synagogue of Naza
. rcth on a certain Sabbath-day, as his
i custom was, and read in (hepeople ant
! of the. Word of God. He devoted
! much of his time to extemporaneous
.prayer, and gave t."> his disciples the
for/unfa which tho Christian repeats
from his cradle to his grave, lit:
j preached the Gospel, now in thc
! temple, now in a synagogue, now on
j a mountain, now using a boat os hie
' pulpit, the audience listening on th?

Heard the invitations of the Word of
God: "IT<?, every ono that thirsteth,
come ye to the waters, and ho thal
I hath no money: come ye, buy and
eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk,
j without money and without price."
"Seek yo the Lord while he may l>e
found, call yo upon him while lie is
near. Let the wicked forsake his
way, and the righteous man his
thoughts; and let him return unto ;
the Lord, and ho will h ive mercy |
t upon him, und to our God, for he
will abundantly pardon." These
I from the Old Testament. Now let us i
[ look into thc New. Hear the blessed j
[ Jesus, oh. yo suffering, homeless, !
! weary people of Columbia, hear the
i sweet words of incarnate love: "Come
j unto me, all ye that labor and are
': heavy lad"!:, and f w ill give you rest." |
"If ye tie n, being evil, know how to |
give good gifts unto your children,
bow much more sha'l your Heavenly
Lather give the Holy Spirit to them
that ask bim." "Go ye into all the I
! world, and preach .he Gospel to every i
?creature." Hear P.'Ter: "God is no
respecter of persons; but in every na-1
. tiou he that teareth him and worketh ?
righteousness is accepted with him." j
fleur lae great Apostle: 'Tor the
love of Christ eonstraineth us, be
causo wc Liu-, judge, that if one died
for all. then were all demi, and that
I he died for all, that they which live;
should rot henceforth live unto

Hear St. John: "If any man sin, we'
