A. H. Wyatt. inhls sixth lecture on “David and his Times.” The subject of the div ‘cthlrsswaa“ALie and What Game of It.” The text was taken from I Samuel 1, ‘ ‘xxL. 10. He said David becomesan out- law for no sin of his own. The king . drives him out of the country. In the . hbernaclc, at Nob, he asks for bread, gandlieatothe priest about his errand. ‘ He then flees to the;Philistines, to the city _ chath. Here he is recognised, is ar— reeledmndds in peril of his life. He feign! ~ madness, dweives King Achish by this ‘ faint. and is driven out ssamadmanf Hersturna to Judah and hides in the cove of Adullan. David, in this stress of circumstances. has let go somewhat his hold on God. He has become distrust- ful and desperate. He is in the mood to - yield to temptation, and fails before . a lying spirit. We have a tran- script of his heart experience at this time in the thirty-fourth, one hundred and forty-second and fifty- seventh Psalms. It is impossible to read these and not see that he had repented and Men forgiven. Among those who came to him in the cave of Adullan was Ablathsr, the high priest, who told him ofthe slaughter of the priests by Doeg. the Edomite, who had overheard his lie in the tabernacle. This was the terrible fruit of falsehood- David had better excuses for lying than most liars have. He lied to save his life. Is this ever right? If the emergency come when you think it necessary to tell alietoone who has a right to expect from you the truth, in order to save your life, make up your mind your time has come and die like a man. It is not neces. sary to live. It is necemary to be honest- The lecture closed with a description of ' the falsehoods in modern society, and an appeal to let the "spirit of truth" abide inourhearts. The anthems and special music for these lectures have been beauti- fully rendered by a full choir. The topic for next Sunday evening is "Homesick- ness.” PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY. Seventh of Rev. B. 0. Sherwood‘s Hermann on “The Kingdom of God Among lien." Yesterday morning Rev. R. 0. Sher- wood preached the seventh in the series on “The Kingdom of God among Men.” The subject was “The Present Stage of Progress; or, The Relation of the King- dom to the Thought and Life of the Present Age." He took three texts. from John xii., 32; Matthew xxviii., 20, and Hebrews xiii, ii. The pastor Bald: Men must know Christ to love him, and if they are to know him someone must carry them the information. The Christianity of the nineteenth century isneceasariliy of adifierent type from that of the first, fifth, fifteenth or eighteenth century. The world has made progress and Christianity must meet and influence this progress. The kingdom is like a mustard seed: it will produce after its kind, but the quality will certainly vary according to the con- dltione it .meets and care it receives. We often hear an expression of regret that the good old times of religious zeal and experience are things of the put, and sometimes there is the shadow of a doubt as to the conversion of young people who cannot tell a remarkable ex- perhnce as was common a generation or two ago. This is not necessary. The conditions are different. Our habits of life and thought are changed. The main question is not whether their expert eases correspond with those of others but whether they know Christ at all. The kingdom of God among men is to beutabllshed along the lines of proper human progress. Christianity must adapt lbslf to the generations of men ac- cording to the conditions and needs of each successive generation. it is not a cysts-tot castltoa steeds. but of life. It certainly breaks down evil, but does so largely by building up the good. Good music, faithful preaching. pleasant church hulldinga,suitabls and pleasant social regulations and practices, are not proper ends in themselves. lines of thmscansavsunlrts they bringthe pso- .pletcChrist.

In rather he Gives some Pratlecl Illustrations of this Great Virtue. The high man at St. Mary’s Roman Catholic church. yesterday, was read by Rev. Timothy M. O'Brien. The sermon was preached by Rev. Father Ines, who took for his "Condsmn not,lestyoubccondsm .jcdgs not,lest you be judged." "There is a sin," began the speaker, "which is always prominent. It enacts tbe person occupying the highest. as well as one subjec to the humblest stationoflife. I: II dom- inset in all clinics and countries. It is that of uncharitableneaa, that sin which wearenearly all guilty of. and yet the very subject of charity itself in God's infinite mercy. Do persons ever think of their uncharitablencsa and of the many issues of that terribc sin ?” be con- tinued, and refemd to the life of Jesus Christ while on this earth when betrayed by Judas. Bis charity went out to him after he had betrayed his Master. When the apostlés were asked byhim inthe gardentopray with him while he was yet among them. and when he found them sleeping instead of praying, he did not chastise them. His charity was too great. his goodness too powerful. He spoke of 'the three great virtues, faith, hope and charity, the greatest of which is charity, yet how often is it almost scorned. The count less instances of the Creator’s charity to his creatures are sufficiently eloquent to demonstrate his mercy to mankind. He cited an instance of ayoung man who was run over by a train, which the speaker was waiting for, at the railroad station in Cheyenne, Wyoming, early in the seventies, and he was the first to reach his side. The young man prayed for a priest, and ;Father Lee informed him that he was one. The unfortunate was only nineteen years of age. Thedy- and he received the last rites of the church and died in ashort time. It was an example of God's charity, as was also another incident he cited. When he was pastor of a church in Dawson, Neb., it was blown down by a tornado, May 30. 1870, and fifty-five of his congrega- tion were buried beneath the ruins, but everyone of them escaped without seflus injury. This accident occurred the evening of the closing of a mission which had been in progrrss in his church. He concluded by asking his hearers to take the opportunity to make their peace with God, and take advantage of his charity by the fulfilling of the duties re- quired by the Mother church at this sea- son of Easter, the season of which has just closed. and to practice charity and be charitable toothers, by gooi work and actions, and therefore free them- selves of uncharitablenesa by not con— demning or judging, I'RIZES FOR THE SCHOLARS.

The nor’aastsr which struck Nerwaik last Saturday, and has not «used its wild career for nearly fortyoeight hours, has not. as far «can be ascertained, does any serious damage.

The breakers could be seen this morn- ing driving nearly six feet high against the islands. A large three-matted schooner was area passing. com- pletly stripped of all her rigging. Shewastossing like a cork upon the waves, but showed no desire to put in here. This is the first vessel sighted by boatmen for nearly forty-eight hours. All night a party of men were on watch near Dorlon's Point ready to put out to any vessel showing a sign of distress, but their services were not required. A three-muted schooner bound east, whose name meant he learned, anchored south of East Reef, Friday evening. As the sale began to increase, the citizens in the vicinity of Saugatuck became alarmed, thinking she had run upon the reef. . Their fears grew rapidly and excitement ran high when four men were men in the rigging. Signals were made to the schooner by those on the shore. and about dusk fires were built. The achmner’a captain saw the signals and displayeda white light, signifying that all was well. Yesterday morning a number of men attempted to put out to her, but their eflorls were of no avail, as the vasel was dragging anchor and the blilows were roaring nearly a dozen feet high. This morning a large number of people congregated as near the beach as possible, and the vessel, which is nearly two miles out, seemed to be safely riding the waves. The Rose- dale, a large Sound steamer, was sighted going " towards New York about 10 o'clock, and cents! schoonera were also sighted, all teasing and being carried along,aeemingiy almost wholly out of the water. The damage to property in the vicinity of Saugatuck has been very slight, considering the rate at which the gale swept through the country and across the Sound. Alarge tree in front of Henry Sherwood'a house was blown down and obstructed trafllc for some time. A horse and wagon being driven along the Saugatuck road was also over- turned. The horse was uninjured, but the wagon was completely demolished. The ravages of the storm were fiercer along the shore this morning than at any time since the commencement of lhc gale. At ll o'clock the tide was nearly four feet above the usual high water mark and it was still rising. it was not high water until about 12:30.
