Redemption is a race-savior: it seizes not only the individual, but his environment, his friends, and his future state.

It was that first called my attention to it, for I well recollect how my father compelled me to present it to my savior.

That is to say, society has recognized in the Savior a very dangerous qualitysomething about him akin to a thief, and his career has been suddenly cut short.

Should the Savior come to-day and preach the same gospel that He taught before, society would see that His experience was repeated.

They had since come to recognize Ozma as the overall ruler of Oz, but they joyfully accepted their tawny savior as their local leader.

And liberalism says: It is in just such moments that we trust our Bible the most, and we remember that William Wilberforce, who lifted the chains from the bondmen, has said: "I never knew happiness until I found Christ as a Savior.

Men who believed that the Bible's influence was what infidelity says it is, made the funeral pyre for Polycarp, the populace bringing fuel for the fire, and while the flames made a glory of their lambent glare, he cried out: "Six and eighty years have I served him and he has done me nothing but good, and how could I curse him, my Lord and Savior.

ARMSTRONG, WILLIAM P. SEE The new covenant commonly called the new testament of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ.

Cry out then by abstaining from going, by repressing in thy heart this worldly concupiscence; hold on with a strong and persevering cry unto the ears of the Savior, that Jesus may stand still and heal thee.

Now understand ye the words of our Savior Christ, as He spake them one after anotheras Christ spake them.

Let us speak this morning of this faith which leads to the Savior.

But these women were of pure heart before God, and therefore the Savior reproved His disciples.

He is thy Savior and thy Lord, who went into the heavens to prepare a place for thee, and to wait thee there.

Wherefore nothing is required unto justification but to hear Jesus Christ our Savior, and to believe in Him.

As soon as thou believest in Christ, He comes to thee, a deliverer and Savior; and now the time of bondage is ended; as the apostle saith, the fulness thereof is come.

Our Savior himself spake these words at His last supper: it was the last sermon that He made unto His disciples before His departure; it is a very long sermon.

For our Savior, like as one that knows he shall die shortly, is desirous to spend that little time that He has with His friends, in exhorting and instructing them how they should lead their lives.

This love is a precious thing; our Savior saith, "By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye shall love one another.

Like as every lord commonly gives a certain livery to his servants, whereby they may be known that they pertain unto him; and so we say, yonder is this lord's servants, because they wear his livery: so our Savior, who is the Lord above all lords, would have His servants known by their liveries and badge, which badge is love alone.

Our Savior saith here in this gospel, "I command you these things"; He speaketh in the plural number, and lappeth it up in one thing, which is that we should love one another, much like St. Paul's saying in the 13th to the Romans, "Owe nothing to any man, but to love one another."

And it is a miserable and heinous thing to consider that we are so blinded with this world that, rather than we would make restitution, we will sell unto the devil our souls which are bought with the blood of our Savior Christ.

Therefore our Savior saith, "my yoke is easy, and my burden is light," because He helpeth to bear them; else indeed we should not be able to bear them.

Our Saviour sanctified this use by His example, and the early Christians were, on account of these night assemblies, the objects of fear and dread, of admiration and of hatred.

The Countess on recovering from her illness, hearing that John and Charles Wesley were preaching near by, sent them a message wishing them God-speed and testifying to her own purpose to live entirely for the Saviour who had died for her.

And we carol forth glad tidings Of our holy Saviour's birth.

Putting aside their armor and their weapons, they advanced in pilgrim's garb and with bare feet toward the spot which the Saviour had trodden in the hours of his agony and his passion.

The day, we are told, was Friday, the hour was three in the afternoon the moment at which the last cry from the cross announced the accomplishment of the Saviour's passionwhen Letold of Tournay stood, the first victorious champion of the Cross, on the walls of Jerusalem.

Of the gentle Saviour, loving and kind; Baby lies in her arms and spies All his heaven in the mother's eyes.

I mentioned a kind of religious Robinhood Society[301], which met every Sunday evening, at Coachmakers'-hall, for free debate; and that the subject for this night was, the text which relates, with other miracles, which happened at our SAVIOUR'S death, 'And the graves were opened, and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, and came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many[302].'

' I talked to him of original sin, in consequence of the fall of man, and of the atonement made by our SAVIOUR.

Our SAVIOUR has told us, that he did not come to destroy the law, but to fulfill; to fulfill the typical law, by the performance of what those types had foreshewn; and the moral law, by precepts of greater purity and higher exaltation.'

'Death, my dear, is very dreadful; let us think nothing worth our care but how to prepare for it: what we know amiss in ourselves let us make haste to amend, and put our trust in the mercy of GOD, and the intercession of our Saviour.

Did this old patriarch cast a prophetic eye beyond the ages, and see that the promise made to him was spiritual rather than material, pertaining to the final triumph of truth and righteousness?that the unity of God, which he taught to Isaac and perhaps to Ishmael, was to be upheld by his race alone among prevailing idolatries, until the Saviour should come to reveal a new dispensation and finally draw all men unto him?

The creation of St. Saviour's Church is also largely due to him, and owing to the building being in St. James's district, which is a "Blandsford parish," and the only one of the kind in Preston we may remark, he has the right of presentation to it.

We mention this not because there is anything pleasing in it, but because it is something which exists daily in the heart of our townin the centre of St. Saviour's district.

In 1866, the old edifice was pulled down to make way for a new church, and during the work of re-construction divine service was performed in Vauxhall-road schools, which were, sometime after Mr. Thompson's appointment, transferred by the Rev. Canon Parr from the Parish Church's to St. Saviour's district.

R. Newsham, Esq., laid the corner-stone of St. Saviour's Church on the 26th of November, 1866; the building was consecrated by the Bishop of Manchester, on the 29th of October, 1868; on the 9th of December in that year, the Rev. W. D. Thompson was licensed to its incumbency; and on the 16th of April, 1869, the district was "legally assigned" by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners.

Directly in front there is a magnificent five-light chancel windowbeautifully coloured, well arranged, containing in the centre a representation of our Saviour, and flanked by figures of the four evangelists.

Reverting to the interior of St. Saviour's, we observe that the northern side is supported by four arches, the central one depending upon double columns of polished granite, and all of them having highly ornamented capitals.

It may also be worthy of mention that we saw fewer sleepers at St. Saviour's than in any other place of worship yet visited by us.

Educational business in connection with St. Saviour's is carried on in various parts of the district.

The Parsonage-house was purchased and presented to St. Saviour's by the late J. Bairstow, Esq.

Handsome new schools are being built (entirely at the expense of R. Newsham, Esq., who has been a most admirable friend to St. Saviour's) near the church.

The incumbent of St. Saviour's is plain, unpoetical, strong-looking, and practical.

Afterwards he left, studied for the ministry, and six years since, as already intimated, came to St. Saviour's as its incumbent.

If a smart, highly- drawn, classical gentleman were fixed as minister in the region of St. Saviour's, the people would neither understand him nor care for him.
