Toe Daity EXAMINER.

DECEMBER 26. 1878.

A YEAR and a half have rolled away ;and the Dairy Examiner still lives.

Indeed it may now be truly said that the Datty Examiner is one of the “ institu- tions” of the Province.

An appetite for a daily paper has been formed; and, judging by the increasing sales of the Daity Examiner in the city, along the line of railway, and in the various towns throughout the Province, it is doubtful if the people conld live without their daily paper.

Hard though the times and dark the pros- pect of the coming winter, it is our inten- tion to continue the publication of the Datry ExaMIner, so that the popular de- mand may be supplied.

Throughout the winter we intend to sup- ply to the public, by means of the Datry EXAMINER, a daily telegra:a containing news of all the notable events which shall tran- spire throughout the world in. this great crisis of its history.

Through the Datrry Examiner the people of the Island shall—-from day to day—and, independently of the Northern Light or Muttart and Irving—be informed of what is transpiring in Afghanistan, in Russia, in Germany, in the neighboring Republic, and most important of all—in the mother eountry.

We shall, if possible, send a special cor- respondent to report for the Dairy Examr- NER the Parliamentary proceedings at Ottawa, with special reference to those which most directly and most deeply inter- est the people of this Island.

The local news shall be given through the Datty EXAMINER promptly, truly and as full as possible.

For the large means required to carry out this work:we look to the people whose wants the Datry Examiver will supply, and whose yaried interests we shall assidu- ously endeavor to promote.

The original subscribers of the Datry EXAMINER will, in the course of a few days, be called upon for a renewal of their favors.

The beginning of another term is a good time to subscribe ; and persons who have not hitherto taken the Damy Examiner would do well to subseribe now. .

In connection with the Dany Examiner the WreEKLy EXAMINER will be issued, at the unprecedentedly low subscription price of ONE DOLLAR a year—payment to be made in advance.

CHRISTIAN LOVE.

a

A Sermon for Christmas.

BY REV. DR. MURRAY.

[The following report of Dr. Murrays’ sermon—preached on Sunday morning last ~has been in hand since Monday but was held over for want of space}:

The text was taken from the 15th chap- ter of St. John’s Gospel, at the 9th verse : ‘‘As the father hath loved me,sohave I loved you : continue yein my love.” The Dr. said: in looking round in society, we may find a man whose address is very pleasing, his voice and his actions harmonize; and in his intercourse with his fellow men, courtesy and kindness are shown by him, so that he endears himself to his numerous acquain- tances and friends; in fact he is what is called a popular man. Those who are blest with a constitution like that man, are gen- erally beloved by the aged and by the young; business men have great respect for them, because their transactions are up- right. The harsh tongue’of criticism is never heard repeating slanders against them. We think there is something strange in this, when we compate the want of love to be found among men towards Jesus. How difficult it is to awake within man the same feeling towards Jesus as they have for their fellowmen, and confide in him as they do in one who is beloved by them. If the image which is so imperfect, so frail and weak, isso loved, why not love the great original? Sin has so darkened the spiritual vision ef man, and blasted his life that he cannot see in the beautiful, perfect and lovable character of Christ, that which is the only object worthy of our truest affec- tions. We notice an extraordinary mystery in the loye of Jesus. We may be prepared to say Jesus loves us with an extraordinary love, above and beyond that which he bears for Angelic Beings. But can we understand that degree of immeasurable love which he has for poor fallen © man? As a father loves his son, 80 God loves us. The love is ao dazzling that we fail to comprehend to what extent we are beloved by the blessed Saviour. We are like children upon the shore, picking up, here and there, a bright glistening pebble, while the ocean of unfathomable love lies beyond. Here is a_ territory which we cannot explore; we may see its mountains in the distance, but we cannot climb them nor descend into its valleys to witness the luxurianve and richness of their productions. Here is a sant but we cannot reap the immense yield of its vines —we can only pluck and bear away one bunch of the grapes of Eschol. Let us look still further at this subject, and we will find that there is something we can under- stand, God the Father loves God the Sen, and the love is returned. If you take as an illustration the tiny flower—the golden sunbeam shines down upon it—that flower views the same light as all the world; so +t is when God loves the Son, the love which the Father hath for the Son is immeasure- able. \ And we, like the tiny plants, view the same love manifest towards us.as the Son. There are certain things resembling the proportion of love which we, as men, can enjoy. ‘The love of God is eternal. Go back in thought to the time when the hierarchy of heaven had no existence, when the heavens and the earth were without form, and nothing but chaos reigned. Go back to the time when nothing existed but God the Father and God the Son. The Father then loved the Son, who was the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person with all the intensity of His being, so God’s Son loved us from all eternity. Go back if you can to the period long before the creation of man and we find Jesus’ love streaming out towards us, The love of the Father for the Son had its counterpart ia the love which the Son bore for us. ‘‘He is the same

yesterday, to-day and forever.” When could this feeling of love for us begin ? He is God and

all his feelings, all his sympathy, and in- tense love date back beyond the Creator of man. It is not asked what would give origin to this love. Would he create man and then love him? No. When man fell must he reconstruct the Divine plan and original design, and then begin to love man ? Did he ever see us in our sins bewailing our lost condition and lamenting the “loss of Eden?’ Or was it the result of meditation ? No; that love was -borne towards us from all eternity. Sublime in its antiquity, sublime in its Divinity is this love to poor fallen man. It has been said by an old Divine that ‘‘it seems to be an attribute of God to love man.” He passes by angels and shows His love to man. I sometimes think that enmity is kindled in Satan against man because God so loves him. We are cold in our love to God, and sometimes say God loves us in the abstract. Let us ask ourselves to what extent dees God love us. His love is infinite. His attributes are in- finite, and His Son being the express linage of the Father, He, too, is loved with infinite love. Christ is good, and not one excel- lency but is found in Christ; and His love must be in proportion." Then must He love the Son as He loves Himself. Whilst this is the casethe Son informs us in the text, ‘* As the Father hath loved me so have i loved you.” How suddenly our emotions may be changed because not infinite. Like the surface of the lake which is c ed by the breeze that skims over it. Our love is

fickle. Not so with Christ's. Then, again, mark the intensity of that loye. The current of praise of the

y

whole universe was going up to him as he sat upon his throne and surveyed the works of his hands; yet he took our form and became pvor for us. For us he lived and died. One has said, ‘‘He mada his home wi.h the |.easts of the stall.” As we watch that life and note the events which transpired in connection with it, our inter- est increases. We see him earning his bread by the sweat of his brow. God puts honor upon workmanship. The great creator of the universe toiled and labored among men. He went about doing good, and yet his character was aspersed. Angels knew not the love ef Jesus till they had seen it manifested toward man. Have you a line that will measure the depth of the descent of the son of God on behalf of fallen man. You may number the sands that girt the sea shore, but we cannot comprehend the infinite love of the Saviour. Let love chime where reason cannot soar. Let us cling to the love of the Savicur. Then thee was the agony of the cup which he drank. This was true love and self-sacrifice that each of us might become polished as a stone and put into the Temple of Glery. He lives to put forth all the energies of his Being to save fallen, degraded man. Were it the love only which is shown in the operations of the Angels, then it might be possible for us to fathom it, But the love that the King of Heaven bore for us over- leaped all the barriers which His Majesty and Omnipotence might seem to place in the way. As my Father hath loved me, so have [ loved thee. This is the vesper of heaven. The breathings of His soul over our dead souls, that they may put on flesh. The day will come when it will bea matter of surprise if there is no response to this love. Again, look; we not only see the love of Jesus in a general way, but in all its details, love that came down to our eve day lite. Jesus assumes the garb of a pil- grim and knocks at the portals of our hearts when He might, by His power, destroy us for our sins and rebellion against Him. But still He bears us up, and men frem all nations will join in the song of victory that will resound through the heavens for the salvation wrought out for them. There will be no sorrow in that song. Again, Jesus.is the ladder which the soul scales and tri- umphs over death. But, again, ‘‘As the Father hath loved me,” God is the same unchangeable Being, and still loves the Son. Can there. ever come an eclipse between the father and the Son as upo! the day of his crucifixien? The work is finished, and who is bold enough to raise a doubt upon this question? Can there ever be disunity in the Divinity, that fhe. Father's love can be withdrawn from the Son. While he was upon the cross the father’s love glowed toward Him. We can look forward through all the difficulties of life, and expect the aid and love of the Divine Saviour. Though darkness surround us the cloud is fringed with gold, though the thunder peal in our ear, we may trust Divine love: *‘ As Llive ye shall also live.” We summon Paulas a witness to give his testimony. Like the lark he begins low down and sings,as he rises, till his strongest and sweetest notes are reached. ‘‘ Who shall separate us from the loye of God,” and soon till the climax is reached. ‘‘ Nor any other creature shall separate us from the love of Christ.” It is upon’ the guar- rantees of Jesus that Paul rests his hope, guarantees of his blood of his resurrection, and it is upon such guarantees that Paul sings. The rule seems to be that, as Christ went through suffering, so we shall have difficulties, we are only following in the same way, when we suffer for him. Itis not the terrors of Sinai, or the awful drapery of the darkness of eternal death, which is set before us, but His love, and then He-asks us to love Him.

Great Britain has already more than re- couped the United States the five anda half million dollars which, after some diffi- culty, were extracted from Uncle Sam’s pocket as some compensation for his use of the Canadian fisheries, by conceding to the Republic the privilege, now possessed by the Dominion, of sending cattle into the United Kingdom without restriction. Al- ready the Americans ere providing facilities for doubling next season their cattle export trade, which, towards the end of the season just closed, averaged five thousand head weekly. Inasmuch as the importation of cattle from the Eyropean continent into England has been practically suppressed, the supplementary supply of meat required to feed the people will be drawn from this continent, and Canada should not fail to obtain an increased share of this trade, of which she was the pioneer. — Mail.

‘“How stands the thermometer?” will probably in future be the pilot’s call to the men on watch. Captain Seguine, a New York pilot, has demonstrated that vessels can be safely guided past George’s Banx and Nantucket Shoals by taking the tem- perature of the water and observing that it does not fall below 60 deg. Fahrenheit. The dangers of the Nova Scotia coast may also be avoided by taking these precautions, and safety ensured during foggy weather. A temperature chart of the water from New York Harbor to the Banks has been pre- pared, and cennot fail to prove an addi- tional safeguard to navigation.
