SEION (W.).—-The pulpit of the above chureh was occupied on Sunday morning last by Mr John Thomas .Tones, Aber- aman," who preached an eloquent ser- mon. In the evening the Rev. X. J. Pritchard (Glan Dyfi) delivered a power- ful sermon, taking his text fro- Luke xxi 34-36. The preacher said the text referred directly to a crisis in jhe national history of the Jewish people, Jlien Christ foretold the devastation pif their hoiv city by the Roman legion^ under Vespasian. tTnto them it a veritable day of visitation-of ment. Their refusal of Christ and His Gosnel of Peace fostered in them a spirit of discontent and rebellion which hastened the crisis.. Therewasa sense in which every crisis m the life ol an individual, a society, or a nation was a day of judgment, whereby their true past relation to the laws of eternal righteousness Was revealed and de- clared. It was the nature of law in every sphere to exact punishment for infringement of its sanction, or to com- mend for obedience and loyalty thereto. The principle held good in relation to the physical, social, moral, and spirit- ual worlds. To escape from the penalty of a violated law was as impossible as it was to miss its appraisement when re- spected. Nevertheless the operations of the law of the spirit of life through obedience to the behests of the supreme lawgiver, whereby the true believer identified himself with Christ, pro- vided a means of escape from the penalty of the law. By the operation of the spirit of grace he was created a new creature in Christ Jesus, and his faith was counted to him for righteousness- worthiness. He was counted worthy in the Allworthy Christ-hence the Master inculcated the necessary habit of watch- fulness and prayer. In every crisis he who was at one with him could stand immoveable.
