A SERMON, And where " written " did Paul quote from 1 The apostle referred to the 22 chap, of Exodus, fne 28th verse. " Thou shalt not revile the gods (for they are called-in Sdripture "gods," who by him are appointed in his place, as for example in the New Testament, " he called them gods, to whom the word of God came ") nor curse the Ruler of thy peoplo." They are hedged in by His prescription whose dignity they wear. It is again said " they are God's minister." So, to that political Leader Moses, said the Almighty " Thou shalt be to Aaron instead of God." How came our fall then f It was with us just as with Paul. He plaintively says, TC I wist not, brothem that is was God's High Priest." That is not that he did not know it, but in haste he did not consider, or reflect, (the word is often so used) that he was the high priest. So with us we know of the divine authority and rcverencQ of our late Ruler, but, in inconsiderateness and political passion, we we did not always remember who it was wo spoke of, and as Seripturejiust remind us we did ill by him who hacrao many of our cares laid upon him, and worked so faithfully, and in simplicity strove to do the work that was given hitii, and such a load as ncvef before was laid upon single man. " Of him the world was not worthy." He is taken away. This is the deserved punishment of us. For "we have spoken §vil of the Ruler •of our People." in Washington never knew.

Thero is an old sentence, current in a certain foreign laad,nomau is a hero to hisown man-servant. The great Napoleon himself, (whose majesty Stands out so boldly from the outline of the wonderful past, holding in our historical miftd a position as the culminating production, the rtan of the ages towards whose establishment centuries pointed and wrought,) with all his intellectual magnitude—his body servants who had to do with him in rising and lying down and dressing and in the numberless vulgar things of every-day lifo (for much time is necessarily filled in the greatest life with common prosaic bed-rftom and table duties) doubtless could not realize the grandeur of one whom they daily tended in many very-oppoaitc-of-imposing situations. Flesh and sense kept him from being a Hero to them. A man's family will often be tho last to awake to the extraordinary character of one of tho mombers of it. This truth is proclaimed in Scripture in the words, ' A prophet is not without honor save in his own country and among his own kin.'

If there be a pre-eminently sad thing, it is the custom in this country of scorning Living Greatness. There has not been a great Statesman or Orator who has worked his way up the hill of eminence, who has not had the foulest imputations thrown upon him by a rejoicing people. If I were a great man, there is nowhere I should less like my lot cast than here. If ho become 'one whom the people delight to honor,' he is, in virtue of that, one whom the people delight to llaclcen. It seems as if the people were envious, and rejoiced in showing that those in high positions shared the same debased common nature as themselve—as tho' that wero necessary to be proved. 13ut if anything is sorrowful, it is this delight in the ignoble work of manifesting the infirmity of noble minds.— This is said by history.to be the fault of democratic governments—And now it is not till the Great and Good are taken from tho land of their action and life, and are no more sensitive to praise or blame, when our mean littleness is no more mot by the offense ot the oyer-topping of greater spirits, that we begin to do justice to tho I'rophut that was amongst us of our own country and of our own kin. IIow opposed is this systom to the spirit of the Gospel. " It is written, thou shalt not speak evil of the Ruler of thy Peopje," No man met such abuse, beloved and fel low countryman, as ho who has been lately taken from our midst. It was ploughed up from every furrow upon his devoted head, both by friend and foe. They wore both alike in this, though in. different degree. The same thing was taken up in foreign countries, by those who had nothing to do in either relation with him ; and tire habits, manners and character of him who held the mightiest post, and hardest to hold, in the world for the time, became tho target of the wit and worse passions of a trans-oceanic continent. And now we awake, and not alone from this nation's heart, but from across the wide ocean from the masses of the people gathering at London and Liverpool (as at New York) from the magazines and weighty reviews of the sea-girt isle and from the European nations, come tho retractions ; and a justor measure of the murdered dead. Why revilcst thou God's High Priest. If the Scriptures are express on other matters of immorality they are doubly hard on this. " Honor to whom honor is duesays Scriptures. In another place, " Honor the King." Says Peter, " Presumptuous are they, [and as if ho oould think of nothing worse] they arc Hot afraid to speak evil of diguilie*" Whereas," says he, tho very " angels, which aro greater in power and weight, bring not railing accusations."— Jude brings in his voice on this matter : " Filthy dreamers defile tho flesh, despise dominion and speak evil of dignities,"— Why revilest thou God's High Priest I There was no excuso in our case. Tho High Priest Ananias, before whom Paul was at the time of our text, had .been put there by lloman Usurpation. The High Priest was to be a God-appointed officer, and for life; but the Romans had broken in upon tho law, thrust men in and out tho offiac just as thoy chose, by violence, and sucninen as would be subservient to their foreign domination. Ananias was ontr of these so set in office. Yet Paul said it was wrong for him to revile such a usurper, whilo ho was in possession of the post. How much the worso for us ! Without excuse 1 Our- Ruler was regularly constitution, twice-ohoBcn, the legitimate liuler of our People. Again Ananias abused that office illegitimately obtained. He was a brutal offioer, crucl and ill-na- Without any provocation, before Paul fiad said any more than a word, at the very beginning of tho trial, he had 1 ordered Paul to be smitten on tho face.— 1 Yet tho Apostle suffering as his Lord had dono before, nobly.cried it was wrong to speak evil of even such Ruler. How rnuoh more are we found hero without ex- 1 cuse I Our Ruler used his power well— nothing brutal but,very gontle, averse to violence and rather loo lenient, never smiting a down-trodden man upon the face and the very opposite of a wliited wall; a well conducted ruler of well gotten power; we 1 yet reviled him.

We have not been in the habit of considering him as pre-eminently a great man. There \vas never around him that halo, or imitation of Shecinah, that usually enshrines earthly greatness. But, because he assumes not the usual show and circumstantial exterior, is that to blind us to the Substance ? If ho were not mighty, here is a question to answer— How did he rise from such a depth to so great a height 1 There is a journey to explain. It is a proposition in mechanics ■ " That every effect must have a cause and a proportional causo."  Co back with me to a county in the State of Kentucky fifty-six years ago.— See (to judge aright this man's power) from what depth ho rose. His parents wero both honest, reputable and religious, members of tho church, uncommonly highly esteemed by all of a large neighborhood who knew them, but according to our views the poorest of the poor. His grandlather having been murdered by tho Indians, his father was early thrown upon life to work for a living. The President's father was neither able to read, nor to write. The President's mother was able, to read, but not to write. From such their son rose to tho White House and to be tho re-chosen ruler of 35 millions of people. But Mr. Lincoln was not a great man ! If no great intellect, how do you explaiu that. The young boy at seven went to school to learn to read. His attendance was only for a few weeks, in all his lifetime his sohooling in small pieces did not sum up, as a whole, more than one year 1 He learned to write by using a burnt charred stick in practiae on a log of a tree from which he had cut the scantlings for the pnrpose. He never was within an academy or college. This, in the run of its result, would have been an argument against putting him in the high pOst ho held.— But what was the real fact, was he ignorant ? This is a mistake. He had the acquirement of College?. He could do, what propably not two men of us in this town could do. vie : when a young man at bis father's house he could demonstrate at sight any proposition in the six books of Euclid [if my memory serves me there are about tive aud twenty propositions in each beok]. You seo a man of such knowledge so obtained, a scholar of one year's teaching, ending as tbe Ruler of a nation of schools. But Mr. Lincoln was not a great man ! If of no ability, how do you explain this. Was that an untrained, ill disciplined, uncultivated mind ? If bis public documents were not marked by the idiomatic and politeness of English wo could wish, they were certainly mighty in argument, logic so olearly put that a 'wayfaring man, though a fool, could not err therein.' This was that which could not arise possibly from anything but culture and a strong soU. When a mere child, after bearing the neighbors talk over the fire he would spend no small beginning of the night walking up and down his bedroom, trying to think out, and put in language plain enough for any boy to understand, tho exact meaning of the'sayfngs dark at first to him. He oould not rest till by frequent repetitions over and over again to himself he felt that he bad laid hold of, mastered and possessed the idea. To uso his own expressive words, " I am never easy, when I am handling a | thought, till I have bounded it north and t bounded it south, and bounded it east and ] bounded it west." This explains his lucid. , strength of" putting things." Was such j an Intellectual student a boor. D i The Great Northern Oil Company. BllTLER house, C. E. WRIOIIT. D. C.
