Rev. J. Owen Sypberd, the new pastor of Scott M. E. Church, preached Ah of his Sunday sermons, as we yesterday stated, from the same text, taking for his C7enU)g discourse the subject Tna Difficulties Attending the Work of the Ministiy." Bat for lack of we should have published this in connect on with the morning subj-ct.

The speaker 'said the first thought ttiat entered hh wa-s the allies arising from oppo-itioo. Tn is, remarked the Itev. g.Titliuian, was of a two I cliar-acter intern el and extcn al. Opjo-itioa to Goliioess comes from our nearis we are naturally evil, and a dislike lor that whictt is good holiness and lope for the Lord. Whatever good is found in man is the result of yrace.

Take man beyond the iijfluerce of the gospel anl the heart found to b'en'irdy depraved. There is no good in him he: i prone to sin. "From the sole of the Act even unto the head there is no soundness in him," but wounds, and bruises, and puirifying sores. Every un regenerated eart has a sentinel at the or opposing the entrance of truth. "Tiie heart is deceitful above all things and deperately wicked." One great obstruction in the way is unbelief.

Man is slow to believe in Christ Jesus. Instance the case of Thomas, John 20th chapter, 2oth to verses: "The other disciples therefore said unto him, we have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, ana put ray finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe. And after eight diys again bis disciples were within, and Thomas with them Th'n came Jesus, the door3 being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, (l Peace be unto Then said he to Thomas, "reach hither thy rluger, and behold my hands and reach ther thy hand and thrust it into my side and be not faithless, but believing.5 And Thomas answered and said unto him, "My Lord and my God." Jesus saith unto him, "Thomas, because thou bast seen me thou hast believed blissed are they that have not seen and yet have believed." The speaker said there was a degree of skepticism in every man. Much of it in many of us because we do not repose with implicit confidence la Christ.

Another impediment to Christianity wa9 prejudice. They bad to contend against it in the beginning. The author of salvation was rejected. He did not come into the world and enter upon his office according-to the Jewish nation; therefore they him. The same principle prevail to-day the same prejudice against the cospel.

Man dL-likes that which condemns his ways. Want of sympathy waa also a great drawback to the ministry. There is of -en a lack of appreciation oa tkepart of the church, and want of fall co ops-ration of the members with, the pastor. The miniiter staads in need of al this. In any position in life success depends largely upon the sympathy we receive.

The to succeed and triumph, rnust have the sympathy and co-op-ra tion ot tiS3 meu. vvasaUiTLoa I Receded not because of the numbers of ni man nor ir hr. vv riiTr. I iTr i because 01 iues)uiyu, hira acd Lis ruea i he throbDins ot Lii sreat heart came' into contact with their hearts. It.

was this that led Lis men cut to 'brave the snorm and treal the frczrn ground without shoes and wiih torn and bleeding fVet. It was hands of Moses were be only while the up tbai Israel prevailed. Because of ihe need cf syna-pithy, Paul said, ay for us." Agaia, discipline must be executed. It may become nee- ssary to use the surgical knife. Popu'atity may be in danger tte minister's pecuniary iutetests say sutler, still duty i before him.

I ua mortal soul tx quire "that the preacher of the gospel shall do duly his whole duty pre-! sent the ttutbs'of Jesus to them, and pe-eert them iu as plain, a manner a possible, so as all can understand aud comprehend their true meaning. The sineei's salv-itiou upon the 'iiiuisier properly executing Lis work the work that he" is called et God to perform iu this world. Then how necessary is sympathy for the minister, and it is also essential that he shou'd have wisdom to guide him. Well may the question of the text be asked And who i si ttlcteut Lor these ICgS." Mr. Svpfcerd slid be came to this pee pie almost an entire saw but few faces that he recognized, but he hoped for the good of all concerned, that they pastor and people would tarly become ietitnately acq a tinted, and to that end he wished that one and all should rtcoguiaa and speak to him upon any and a'l occa-j sious, as it was much easier for them to recogniz him than he them and he would do his best for promoting the of Christ, and ior the welfare of their immortal souls.
