JABEWELL SXBMON OF HEN'BY VARLXT?JUSTI
FICATION BT FAITH.
The Church or the Disciples was crowded to ex
cess yesterday morning to hear ibe farewell utter
ances ol tbe great English revivalist. Mr. Variey
?elected lor bis text Horn.ins, v., o?"Much more
then, being now justified by his blood, we snail be
?aved irora wrath through him. Kor if, when we
were enemies, we were reconciled to God oj tne
fieath 01 h.s S n, much more, being reconciled, we
?hall be saved by his lire." 1 am going to give
jrou a lew plaiu and intelligent statements on tbe
great truth of tbe Justification, and. first of all, let
Be remind you what Is meant by the term. It Is
a forensic, a Judicial, word?a word tnat
refers to the courts, not of men, but
of the living God, when It is used
M In my text, and It Is as though those in this
boose should approach to the living God, In order
to uear tbe testimony concerning them. For ex
amnie, suppose I should lay before one of your
Judges the whole deiall or a matter with which I
have been charged; suppose he knew every item,
nothing is bid from him, and thus, with the whole
ouilpok In tbe matter, saya, "That man Is justi
fied; I find no lault in him." This is a groat
thought that I, who baltovo la CUrist, approach
oot an eartny Judge, but God, the lather of our
Lord Jesus Christ, and rie says, with a dignity that
Pilate never had, "J nnd no fault In nim." and,
therefore, I waut you to observe that the Jnsiifl:a
tlou spoksn oi in our text is distinctly declared to
be connected with the biood of the Lord Jesus
Christ, for "heing now Justified by His blood, we
?hail oe saved iroin wraui through Hun." Justi
fication has relereuce. uece sarily, to the
INTRINSIC Clt AJUCTKIt,
as man Is Intrinsically a sinner?a transgressor.
Ii God wero to act in accordance with the law we
would be adjudged transgressors, oecuuee it is t ot
iu the nature oi the law tojiistuy the transgressor,
i must declare him to be uuitty. We do not ap
peal n> iiihi ou t ho ground ol law or oi louoceuoe?
It is sin ply on the ground oi ihe sacr flee oi thrift
on the cross; and 1 come snle by aide with Hun
woo died lor me and say, "Now tell nie what do von
?ay of me f" aua God says, "1 ntrerlv and entirely j
jus'iiy you; I have no iauit to lino." and there is.
tliereiore, now nu condemnation to iluin that are
la Christ Jesus. Observe, itie work ol redemption is
far greater tban the won. of creation. The creation
took six days, tne redemption tblrty-three years.
The work of redemption is one we are called en
look upon in its details, and we are permuted to
pronounce it very goon, a.id we ate pe recti y at
rest la the great details o Christ's redemption.
0 sirs, why am I so gmd to navo ueeu with you
bere t Because 1 trust that many of you, who
never had oefore have got hold ol tlie iiviu. Christ,
and wnen the waters oi the Atlantic roll between
us tbe ureat Master will lie as nigh to me and as
nign to you as 11c is now, lor tiiik* and space arc
nothing to Him. O let this people never torget
the power ol the indwelling Christ, wiio put away
oar sins by the sacrifice of lilmseli! And now |
notice asain iu tne ttiiru oi Uouians we have
another view giveu us?"Being justified lreeiy
by tils grace, througn the redemptiun tnat
is in Christ Jesus." i want to show you how bsau
tiiul the word of Christ is, linked on to tne act of
tae Father, being justified ireely, Witnout charge,
Without cause. I tiiiuk. there is a difference ne- 1
tween grace :ind mercy. Mercy may be likened
to mat disposition that is in us to help others, hut
trace is a lar nigher thing; it Is the idea of the
oid Jesus cnrisi upou the throne ol grace, wno
Has a periect right to scatter a<l spiritual mess- ;
ings upon everybody that wnl re. eive them. Justi
fl nation by the grace of me Uedeeuier, Christ
Jesus. If you live nvc minutes .ongei without !
tue possession oi His glotious justification it is
because you wlinilh put it away irom you. Then
we have the work o. Christ as a ground
(or justification. Look at Romans, v., 1?? -I nere
fore being justified by laith, we have peace with
Sod throu ii our Lord Jesus Christ." observe,
justified by blood, then Justified by grace and now
jbstified oy lai h. Tne one thing I say, to do is
to beiieve iu God. 1 believe in God. and therefore 1
am saved. 1 believe in God aud 1 am dead umo sin
and the wor.d. 1 believe in God and 1 know l am
aceepel. 1 am crucified witu Christ, nevertbe- ;
1e?s l live, yet not I, but Cbrist, who dwHleth in
me. 1 am bound thus to use tne personal pro
noun. l believe that oeoau-e of simple laitu in
Cnrist's atonement 1 stand a Jus ified m..n. And
Ii 1 were suddenly tak n away now. and sh uld
ask, "Lord, wiU thou welcome me V the an

flow oi a river. Notice again, in tue epistie ol Jam*s.
"A man is uot justified oy ui h a.one, but by his
works.'' 1 want you toieauzel am not going to
give yon a tnuury ol Christ. If Christianity is uot |
supernatural
ir will nr. materialistic,
and I sm not a materia ist, l assure yon. Listen,
"Look not on the tningo wuich are visible, lor the
minus whicn are seen are t mporai, and the
toiu^B which are not seen are eternal." Christ
Is enthroned in me as my precious wue anil cidl

"Bear with me, mr dear lellow, but you

Aud finally, in the iw^iitu chapter of Matthew,
ih riy-?eveutn verse, "tor t). ih. words thou shal', 1

McCloskey, delivered tbc serm >n at toe high mass

Toe reverend pieactier took tor his text tbe
gospel of the day, according to St. John, In wbtch
tbe Saviour speaks ot Himself as tbe good shep

mod iiis death far (its flock. There was one
prophecf In the Gospel which was not lul
fliied by the death of our Lord, and tbat
was tne bringing together of all men into
one flock and one laltb; the number of His flock
at that time was easily counted. He bad lert this
fulfilment to be accoinplisncd by those whom Ho
intrusted with the mission to continue the great

MASONIC TEMPLE.
RATIONAL BELIEF?HONEST DOUBT NOBLEB THAN
INDOLENT FAITH ? SIBHOH BT BET. 0. B.
FBOTHINOHAM.
'1 he Rev. O. B. Frotbtnsbam, at Masonic Hall
(opposite Bostb'a Theatre), preacbea yesterday
: morning to so enormous congregation tbat ailed
ever* available seat, and among whom there wan,
; as usual, quite a perceptible sprinkling or well
known free-thinkers. Tbe reverend gentleman
spoke on tbe subject of rational belief. He said,
in substance:?Tbe aubjeot 01 my discourse this
morning is a sequel to that of last Sunday morn
ing. An apostle ol tbe early Church, writing to
oi.e of tbe members, advises btm to "prove all
things" and hold last to all tbat was good lu their
faith. At tbat time tbe reason of man was sup
posed to be tbe docile recipient ol tbe doc
trines ol faith, and not tbj independent judge
of tbelr beauty, truth or validity. To dis
criminate between tbe good and tbe evil
is wbat Paul?for be is tbe apostle I nave re
j lerred to?enjoius upon bis bearers. To say tbat
i none are good men or women, for instance, who
J deny thai Jesus is an Incarnate archangel or
God, would be to condemn to the infernal regions
1 ol damnation tee choicest specimens or humanity.
Religion Is still generally supposed to be identified
witb revelation, something which bumau reason
is unable to verify and Is certainly incompetent
! to judge. ir this doctrine is accepted tuere must
be a divinely inspired church, inspired prophets
and priests, and, tbereloro, we And throngnout
Cbristeudom tbat reason is assigned a very sub
| ordinate place- The office ol reason is merely
; tbat of a lalcblul servant to fill the lamps with oil,
, to dust tbe cbairs, to guard tbe temple agaiust
! pollution.
PROBING SUPERSTITIONS.
But tbe rationalist Is not satlsfled with tbls.
Reasonable religion says tbe human mind's first
duty Is to prove and test and verily, not one
1 thing but all tntngs. Is am thing so high or so low
that it should not be Judged T Nor can you tell

claims tbat ihe grander a thing is tbe more
i vividly its mysterious beauty should be brought
! to view. Nay, it claims tbat inquiry Is even
; in tbe Interest of reugiou itseli. Theie is a
general suspicion that religion is airaid oi being
investigated, gald au eminent oreacner:?"Ii in
I my heart I liud doubts atiout the immortality of

lip*, l'lus precious nope o> mankind must not be

Tbe pastoral figure which is carried through tbe
gospel of to-day is extietnely significant. Tbe

It involves toward the flock, which are euumerated
by tiie Good Shepherd illmseli, and wutcb lie, in
so transcendent a manner discaarged, la emi

FIFTH AVENUE BAPTIST CHURCH.
THE SEVENTH APPEARANCE UP CHRIST AFTER
HIS RESURRECTION?SBBMOB BT DR. ARM1
TAOB.
In continuation of his aeries or sermons on the
doings and sayings of our Loid subsequent to His
resurrection, Dr. Armitage, of the Fifth avenue
Baptist cbnrch, preached Inst evening on 'The
seventh Appearance ol Jeans," selecting as tbe
basis oi bis remarks a passagi from tbe Goapel
according to Matthew, xxvul., 16:?"Ihen the
eleven disciples went away Into Oaltiee." And
alao from Jobn, xxi., 1:?"Alter these ibinga Jsatis
shewed bimseh again to the disciple* at tne sea
ofTiberias; and on tnia wise shewed he himseli."
He said:?Yuu will remember that when we were
with Jesus in tbe supper room, on Thursday even
ing of tbe great wee?, lie said to Ilia disciples,
"Alter 1 am risen again I will go beiore you
into ualilee." Then wbeu tne uugel at
ilia empty tomb talked with the women
ou the morning of Uls resurrection lie
said:?"Tell His discipies and Ceter that He
goes beiore you into Ualtlee." There was thiir
borne, aud our Lord kusw that at tbe conclusion
oi the I'ascnal least tney would proceed thither,
and Be evidently wished to meet them, before He
?ent them on their new ministry. in tbe very spot
where He bad called ihem to His service in the
first place. The speaker described the Journey of

and iu introducing u there leu irom ills lips tliat
wouaer.ul tripie question in all lis various tonus.
1 ue question in tbe Greek is not put in cue same
lor in t in ee times, nor is it answered iu the same
loriu, substantially, as we have it iu KHgiish; auU
yet tue shading u so delicatt ana uice that, per
haps, it is impossible to express it in anv bet er
lonn tuau that in which it is now dressed. You
may, bowever, get eome lalut idea ol tlie cute
lully drawn variation oi words nsed tiy botn Jesus
aud Peter wbeu we say that tlie lirst question put
by our Lorn was?"Simon, sou 01 Jonas, nonorest
Hiou me more iban these ?" Petei, in ins reply,
aoes not repeat the w rd ??honorest," out
changes tbe worn, saying, "Lord, tti>>u kuowest

our Lord's word "honor'' was cold, as if, to use
tne language ol Aronoishop Trencn, "His Lord
were keeping turn at a distance," thereior*.
I'eter lays tue word "bonoi" aside and replies, "I
love thee." Tne second time ibe question and
au?wer is repeated in the same lorin, but wueu
Jesus put tlie question tne tniid lime He adopts
Peter's word ol personal affectiou, as u He lolt
tnat I'cter's heart wa- very lull anu He wanted

I'eter recoguizes Christ's omniscience, saying.
"Lord, thou kuowest all things; tnou kuowest
ihatl love tuee." In tue repeated question there
was a tareefo.d probing 01 Peter's soul, as there
Had been a threefold denial on his part. Wheu
Jesus saw mat his leeliugs were wouuued by tne
repetition It was enougu; it brought the trial to
an eud, aud irom tuat moment Ins lull trust was
contlded. And uow c^mes tne tlireeiotd investi
ture oi Peter with new responsibilities iu his
apostolic office. He was Instructed oy Hie Saviour
to "feed my little lambs," indicating tie should
leel it an honor aud a privilege to minister to tue
weakest auu most, needed all tue flock. Auaiu, bo
is tolJ to "tend mvsneeK" tne word tend, aH used
by otir Lorn, canyiug with n tne sense oi guide,
waic.i, tieiend. The third injunction is, "teed m.v
beloved sheep." by which He means the more
mature and perlect amoug Christians, no matter
wbat ibe years ?f either class may be.

Blahop Lee, oi Delaware, who, aa tbe represent
ative of the House of Bishops visited Mexico re- !
cently, addressed the congregation of Rev. Dr.
Rylance's ohurch yesterday on missionary labor
Iu Mexico. The Bishop took lor his text Psalms
cxix., lao?"The entrance of Thy words givetb
ligat; It glveth understanding uuto tne simple.'1
Tbe preacher rclerred to the darkness and super
stition in Mexico, where until a lew years ago
human victims were sacrificed, but which ha-J at
last been supplanted by Christianity. The illumi
nation of this land, be said, originated lu tbe
French intervention. A devout priest named
Aguilla iclt himself moved 'iy the word oi God to
preach the Gospel openiy, and ten years ago
in tne city or Mexico a room was
secured where the Word ot God was read lor the
first time. This was a noble work.' The Church
oi God there is not an exotic introduced trotn
loreign soil, but a vigorous native plant. Upon
Aguulas' ucat'j his Utile (lock looked about, ana
Kev. lieury Chauncey Keiley, ot this city, was in
duced to take tbe enarge. He did so, under great
(..augers. Wneo tie ere tar y Seward was applied to 1
as to tbe leasibuity oi establishing a mlssi u In
Mexico ne opposed it as too hazardous. Dr. Keiley,
however, uecided thai whatever its pen.s ne
would undertake it lor his Divine Master, lie was
marvellously sustained and protected from the
band ol violence. lie opened a church, >? lieu tne
Komish priests selected a D ominican monK named
Amies as the persotf^o expose the heresy oi the
new doctrine. He commenced the study of the
Word for this purpose, nut God incline I ids neurt
to receivo tne truth, aud tbe monk was
converted. Agues became a preaclier
oi this new gosnel, and tne Guurch
prospered, aud now there are, in the City oi
Mexico, two congregation*, protected and en
couraired by the government. Agues nnaily died
ana delegated tits labors to Dr. Rei*ey, wno re
turned to Mexico. Tuere are now in Mexico
thirty-nine congregations, with a membership ot
net .s een 'i.suo anil 3,000 persons and a large at
tendance ol non-metubers. Tnen there an; seven
teen nlaces where occasional services are held,
tne main body ol the members are oi the humble
class, a large portion betnn native Indians. Vil

arc members or the Mission church, ? ni>e in some
the Bible reader lias been elected Alcalde, a ctnel

UNION CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.
Dr. Wild, lormer paator of tne Seventh avenue
Methodist Episcopal ctiurcn, delivered a very im
pressive sermon yesterday morning at the Union
Congregational church, on state street, near
Hoyt. ilia text was irom Matthew, xxvtIL, 18?
?'And Jesos came and spoke unto tbem, saying,
All power is (uvea unto me, In heaven and in
earth." Dr. Wild asserted bis belief in tne re
demption scheme as a divine provision tor man,
as a sufficient and efficient ecou my to free him
! irom sin and its ettect. Obrlsuauity had a spirit
as peerless and majestic as her doctrines, a prac
tice matchless au 1 sublime us her the ry. She
n.id a reward as inviting as it was
glorious, while her promi-es were full a* they
were free. The dignity and possibility oi man in
the light of the aronement were imperial aud
grand, holy In purpose und tnigluy in"destiny,
lie was a miniature God in lorm, quality and au
thority?supreme in position and command, ttie
Offspring of heaven, Lord of Eden and King of
Earth. For mm nature was timed in circling
seasons to produce a luscious p.enty. Secure and
wining, lia, pv au?i competetit, man began his
Edenic career with a potency utid promise to
people tne world with a righteous aeed und pledge
ill" revolving centuries to a perpetual peace.
; Kut he sinned and tell. Disobedience was
sin, and sin begat degeneracy; degeneracy
| tecame depravity, which emailed corruption,
1 disease aim death. Thus dishonored, discrowned
! and shorn ol strength, he was driven lortn irom
; his garden Dome an exile. 'ihen and there Heaven
looked upon nun with compulsion aud le-'ulved to
reclaim, re-endow und recrown him. The posses
sion oi alt power was the groundwork of our
luitn in tUe resurrection ol the body, lu the cen
tre ol the universe is a human heart ? hose pulsa
tions are the lite motion oi tne world, whose oram
is the great citadel oi thought lor the universe.
From this standpoint the Doctor chronicled the
expression ol tne saviour's power during ins ac
tive ministry. His miracles were to convince tue
' world tnat He was Uir i ol ull and had divine
power, lue speaker closed bis discourse by urg
ing tus hearers to believe in Htm and sorve iiiin
wuo had power over ali the earth.
