Th final sermon In the series of discourses nt on the subject of retribution was preached t th * First Conr < < iUlonnI church jester- day morning bv Hev Dr Durjrea , the pastor , whf seltfcted for his theme the parable of the rich man and I iunis. A large congre gation attended the meeting and with marked attention listened to the words of the eminent gentleman. Parables , he declared , were intended to illustrate the truth , although thej ml-rht be pure fiction or thej might be llctlon founded upon facts. When Jesus came ujwn the earth he found the people like little children , and to teach them he had to do so In a simple waj' thai they might understand the ideas of truth. Upon the subject of monev and wealth , the spenker said there was too much selrlshness People were not wlso In the use of their moncj.andin uianv respects they were line the foolish child at the fountain with the seive , w ho dipped the water and then let It all run through If men puisuecl such a course , when the end came thej would have nothing but an emptv seive and a Jojless soul. The gold could not be carried to the grave , and the owner of It should use it so that when he pass nlawav his deeds would remain as a monument of his faithfulness Not one of the prophets ever attempted to lift the veil from the future , not one of them ever attempted to prevent the suffering of a human soul , but when Jesus came upon the earth He taught the doctrine of the future. He taught as He believed , gathering up and residing between the lines Prior to that time there had not been such holiness of character There had been no rev elation of heaven , though jHwnle held ceitaia ideas whloh came down to the times pf tha Hebrews Even jp to the time of Aristotle thej thouirht that the earth was tlat and the wicked went to a place below the eartn Little bv little the Hebrews gathered the ideas of tUhteousness and dwelt ujion the puiiilcntlou from evil , though thej main tained that the Gentiles would be shut out Hie sentiment had been expressed that to do right meant prosperity , but the condition of Job was a puuler to the followers of that docttinc An idea had prevailed that sheol or hades was sop irated from the abode of the Just , and that to pass from one place to the other meant the scaling of the wall , that the wicked went direct to hades , w litre they remained until puritied Then the parable taught that when Dives died he was taken into Abraham's bosom , and that the rich man had a funeral Possibly this was so for tne reason that the poor man did not have the uionej to paj the funeral expenses When the rich man saw L-uarus in Abra ham's bosom he cried out. asking Laarus to dip his ringer in water and give it that he might cool his tongue From this the divine drew a picture , showing that heaven was not for the rich alone , but that it might be shared with the poor. The desire of most men was to chase the almiphtj dollar Thej went west for that especial purpose , and when thej- succeeded in getting it thej rode in Hne carriages and lived in tine houses , giving icceptions and entertaining but main of them were like the foolNh child with the emptj seive.
