Did we not enter into solemn covenant with God so to do, for does not our baptism represent unto us our profession which is to follow the ex example of our Saviour, Ch rist, that as he died and rose again so should we who are baptized die un to sin and rise again unto righteousness, continually mortifying all our evil and â€"â€"â€".â€".â€"__ corrupt affections and daily pI‘OLIL‘ULllllg in all virtue and godliness of living? And did we not ratify and confirm the the same when We received the bene- diction of apostolic hands? Yes, Brethren, to live etc-mall)! with God, man must die twice. He must die unto‘sin and he must die at the close of life. And it is this first death and its consequent resurrection that we desire to place before _) our minds te- l day. W e feel assured that death must I preCede resurrection, that the old man must be crucified with its affections and lusts before a new life, given in baptism, can possibly develop, that our Saviour“ revealed to Nicodemus the most im- ; portant truth in Christian existenCe, l coming in thewhich all that are in their graves shall hear His voice, and shall come forth”; “they that have done good unto the resurrection of life, and they that have done evil unto the resur- rection of damnation?” And who will question the truth of the words of Son of God himself? Interested as we are in the final resurrection of the dead, re- joiced as we are to know that death does not end either their existence or ours but that we shall, if in Christ; meet our loved ones again, yet let us hear in mind that a resurrection to life after death must have an antecedent condition, a death unto sm and a new birth unto righteousness here, “that as Christ was raiscd'up from the dead by the glory of thc'FaLher, even so should The key-note of Easter Sunday is resurrection. Whatever other thoughts may be in our minds at other seasons of the Church’s year, the thought that now i’ills our minds is that of opened graves and resurrected bodies. As our eyes sweep across the sacred enclosure oi our honored and beloved dead, the spirit of exalting joy takes possession of our hearts. They shall not sleep for. ever. The humbling accomplishment of death shall, one day, end in an un- dyrng spiritual body. Flesh and blood could not inherit the Kingdom of God,‘ but the image of the earthly, shall one‘ day be transformed into the image of the heavenly. The corruptible will put on incorruptibn, the mortal will put on immortality, to bring to pass the pro- phecy of old “that death is swallowed up in victory.” Who does not love to dwell upon these sacred truths. Who that has lost. a friend does not thank God for the hope that is inspired with; in his heart by the resurrection ofjesus Christ. We have seen many a life end! here, but yet, it did not end. last Friday we mourned for a despised, a sufi'ering. and a dying Redeemer. To- day we exult that “Christ is risen from j the dead and became the first fruits of them that slept.” last Friday we sor- rowed because of the evxdem‘e that “in Adam all die”;to-day We rejoice forthe evidence that “in Christ shall all be made alive.” Good Friday commemorated an event that proved our Sariour’s human» ity,that he was truly “born of the Virgin h’Iary,”to-dayu'e celebrate an event that proved His Divinity, that “He was con- ceived by the HolyGhost.” Last Fri' day the memory of our Saviours agony reminded us that “the sting ofdeath is sin”; to day we breathe the exulting de- fiance, “0 Death where is Thy sting, 0 Grave where )5 Thy victory.” The Resurrection of .lesus Christ assures us that existence does not end at death; that life is not limited by the cradle and the grave. that every life shall appear again. But shall the appearing of all be alike? .Is the word of (lod telling the truth when it says, “The hour is Easter Services at Christ Church Romans VI : 4.â€"â€"Tl¢crefl»re we are buried with Izim by baptism info death; that like as Christ um: raised up from the dead by [It]: glory (1f rim Father, even so, we also should walk in newness of lgfe. Early Celebration at 8 a.m.â€"- Morning Prayer and Holy . ' Communion- at'10.30 am. --The Rector's Sermon. The Easter Services in Christ Church were unusually attractive and bright. There was an early celebration of Holy Communion at 8 a. m. The Service at 10.30 a. m. was largely attended. The responses were hearty and the singing unusually bright: The Anthem “Christ is Risen” was a special feature of the Service. The offcrtory was Very liberal. The following is the Sermon preached by the Rector, Rev. J. H. Teney: help out that Justification, that, which is already complete in Christ. The fact is that the most pure and saintly chrisâ€" Heaven’s sinlessn‘ess, no entrance there in his present fleshly garb. So. then ' death must be endured by all even by the redeemed in Christ.

But the : Holy Spirit comes again and auain to theta-cue of tian, here on earthqnn find because of present to-day must .come forcibly be- fore our minds, viz: what is that pro- ,out compromise, the dealings? 'l‘hc soul’s newness of life, before everything, must be real. What will it avail us if we are only risen in imaginaâ€" tion, or in the good opinion of others, if we are merely living a name, but yet we are dead. How little value, indeed, is there in saying, “Lord, Lord,” while neglecting to do the Father’s will, of religioustalk without religious principle, of outward forms without inward con- viction. Ah, how often, the merest phantoms, of renewed life, stalk through the Church. Sometimes, it is an out- burst of religions passion, without dis- cipline and surrender of the will; some- times it is good taste, which simply takes it for granted, that certain religâ€" ious properties belong to a particular social position ; sometimes it is the charm. of an intense interest in some- thing, other than the glory of God, without even app 'oaching religious principles; sometimes it is sheer good nature that acts without inward refer- ence to God or His law. But they are phantoms, every one of them, and give no assurance of “newness of life.” ‘ But the great evidence, the unmis- ‘ takable evidence, lies in newness ofl character. Until that takes plttCe there is no possibility of a death unto sin and a new birth unto righteousness. Are l the features of our old life passing away and the beauty of the Lord, our God, resting upon us? Are our passions kept well in hand, the members of our body kept from being the servants of unrighteousness? Do we dismiss, with- evil thought? Have we ceased to say the bitter words, remembering how much pain it might occasion? Have we learned to keep the tonguein its proper 'place refusing tolend it to idle gossip? Have we learned to be true and ju :t in all our Love is the only root from which such fruit can spring’ and he, who besides this is not. ashamed to confess Christ before men, has surely [passed from death unto life, having thus given abundance of proof of being buried with Him, 'by baptism, into the soul.

The words of our text supply the answer, f‘il‘hereforewe are, buried [with him, l)y,bapti:jm into death, that‘like as Christ was raised from the dead ‘hy the glory of the Father. even so we also should walk in newnessof life. There is one question upon which all are agreed,â€"that sin cannot enter heaven. Every man’s sins must be for- given before he can hope to see God. Everything that has been subject to sin must (he, nothing that has ever been polluted with sin can enter Heaven Christ by His incarnation made a tetnple of the human body for the in- dwelling of the Spirit of (lod. iut the work of that Spirit does not make the body immortal. A virus still remains that finally works its dissolution. If it were not so, why should death intevene between our earthly and our heavenly state? Even according to St. Paul, those who remain alive at Christ’s second coming niust be changed. The fact is, the body of ev' ry true christian must pass through the steps of a relin» ing process, for sin though forgiven still adheres to it. The wearing away of the body by disease or age, the pains of death, the moulding into the (lust of the grave and then its resurrection all these seem part of that process by which the ehristian’s body is made like unto llis glorious body. For death in the case of true chri tian men and women,1 for those who'have been w: s'ied and‘ made white in the Blood of the Lainl‘, cannot surely be God's sentence on sin for “there is now no condemnation to them that are in Christ jesus who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit. It cannot be that .hy any death of ours We can perfect that satisfaction that has been already made for Sin. A believ- ers death must be to root out the ex- istence of sin in him, to do away with , that law that the apostle knew to be in his members, that was-constantly war- ring against the law of' the spirit, to eradicate that evil that was present with him when his mt'st earnest ~desire was to do good. (1 (1 does not inflict death upon His children as a final discharge of His wrath, but He uses it as the in- strument to rid him of that plague of sin that adheres to him so long as he is in the flesh. Now this fact that the body is still subjected to death because of sin even when the inner man has made his peace With God, issurely one of the strongest proofs that sin can find no entry into Heaven. It is not in the way of penalty that the christian has to ‘ die, for already Christ has sustained the whole of that penalty. It isnot ex- acted from him as the. payment of a debt, for Christ our. surety has paid a full and satisfying ransom. It cannot help out that justification, that, which is already complete in Christ. The fact is that the most pure and saintly chris~ tian, here on earth,7(~an find because of Heaven’s sinlessn‘ess, no entrance there in his present fleshly garb. So. then death must be endured by all even by the redeemed in Christ. It is not our intention to enter into any controversy concerning the mode of that sacred rite, that symbolizes our death unto sin. To many minds the “buried” of our text cannot mean any mode but immersion. But when the Church of God admits either form of sprinkling or immersion would it not be quite out of place to pause to dis- cuss a question «so unimportant and apart from tlig point_ at issue and the theme We havébetior'e us.? What was it that was “buried by lmptisms" Not us but our sins and there they remain un- less resurrected by ourselves. How could we epause to discuss such a sub- ‘ ject with the thou'rht of the necessity oil a new birth, a resurrection, a new Iife,i suggested to our minds to-day? “Ye must be born again” For what profit would there be m the resurrec- tion of the dead; to you and to me, if we had so lived here that the only pos- sible result of the Archangel’s trump would be to amken us to eternal agony. \V ho, then, u doubt the wisdom of bringing pro I ntly before our minds tO-day, that midi-important ques- tion, sugges _ -by_the Easter thought of the Resurre‘otign of our» Blessed Lord from the grave, and concerning the Christian so‘heautifully expressed in the words of our text, “Therefore we dare buried with hiin by baptism into death. that like as Christ was raised from the dead by the gldry of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.” b1 plains how it represents the christian profession. He inspires her with fresh courage by allusions to her heavenly parentage and immortal destiny. He imâ€" plores her by all she holds most sacred, by the precious blood of Jesus shed to redeem. her, to arm herself with the promised grace of Christ, to overcome her course and cruel master and bring htm into his proper po man as her slave. ,For it is only by the soul's bringing the body into subjection to herthat she can secure her own frex‘om or elevate him for being her honor ed and equal companion hereafter. And every soul that makes the attempt through the strength of Christ and by the appointed channels of (lraee winsa 'ictory and walks in newness of life. But the body usually makes war on his companion, but faith in Christ and attendance on His means of (lrace win the day, and the body, that strong man, is bound with the cords and fetters ot the law of (Sod. that perfect law of liberty, and follows obediently his mis- tress to do her pleasure. But, even yet he cannot be wholly trusted, for he sometimes treacherou sly watches for an (th ortunity when the soul remits her w..tclifulness and care, and makes an effort to regain his lost dominion. iut by the grace of Christ, the soul waxes stronger and stronger, as the journey of life advances. and towards its close, she is endowed With the strength of an angel, while the body, her vanquished companion, through the daily crucifix- ion of its lusts. has sunk into the imbe- cility of an infant. Thus we See “a death unto sin and a new birth unto righteousness,” thus We see a man fol- lowinrr on? the profession thl<ix11‘tistn, that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so, he also walks in newness of life. ,“ For two years I suffered ter- ribly-from dyspepsia, with great dcpxession, and was always feeling poorly.

Haw you died unto sin and are you raised unto righteousness? If so death will be to you the portal of eternal rest and peace. Why should such fear death of the body. They hate already died and an: risen again. This life has ’been the theatre of its accomplishment. They are now “ready to he offered and the time of their departure is at hand.” Death will be but God's instrument to rid them of the last traces of theplague of sin and the gate of everlasting rest. And Christ, who has redeemed the soul and made it happy, has given a pledge, as sure as the foundation of Heaven, that He will in his own good time reâ€" deem the body from the dishonor of the grave and I: ake it like nnto His own glorious body. he published every Thursday Mar-Mug at n.
