Speaks In the First Protlytorlnn
Chtiroh-
Notwithstanding the heat , the Firsl
Presbyterian church of this city wai
yoatcrdtxy filled to its utmost capacity
by a select audience , assembled tc
greet Dr. McCosh , the famous divine
and president of Princeton college.
Ills theme was "Growth in Grace , Il
lustrated yi the Lifo of Nicodcinus. '
Ilia text waa from John XIX , 39 :
"And there came also Nicodemus ,
( which at the first came to Jesus bj
night and brought a mixture ol
myrrh and aloes , about a hundred
pound weight. "
Uosaid , "Among other nnd higher
excellencies by which the four evan
gelists were characterized , every hu
man mind is much interested to notice
the variety of human character , good
and evil , brought bcforo us. In

eagerly on JOSUH was lately blind ;
this other listening so intently was
lately deaf ; this other walking and
leaping with such al.icrity was , H short
time ago , hopelessly lame ; and this
other , so full of lifo and joy , was , but

In the background of the scone wo
have the mass of the people vacillat
ing between two opinions ; now strew

and shouting Hosannah , and again
with loud voice demanding his cruci
fixion.Vhoro else will you moot

and to God , the ( supposed ) fee , than
ono who has road all the histories that
were over written of all the people
that have over lived.
Wo moan at this time to single out
for special contemplation , a single per-
o/i from the multitudes that pass before
fore us. That individual is Nicodo
inus. Ho is presented to view ir
throe different positions. In the pas
aago immediately before us , as engaged
gagod with Joseph of Aromathoa , ir
committing the body of Jesus to the
place of sopultuio. But the evangel
ut in mentioning this circumstance ,
o much to his credit , refera to an
other passage in the bible not so com-
mondablo. "Then came Nicodomus ,
which at the first cauio to Jesus by
night. " Oji turning back to chapter
III , wo read of Nicodomus giving

iu different circumstances in behalf of
justice and of Christ , but in that pas-
ago the same humbling clause is
added , "ho that came to Jesus by
night. " Among other distinguish
ing qualities , the scriptures are over
faithlul in recording the infirmitica
also of these \ < i hose excellencies are
liold forth to pur admiration.
Paul , in alluding to hie
fluccoss adds that ho was once a per
secutor , n blasphemer , and claims ,

In like manner when the faithfulnosi
of Nicodomus is recorded it is addei

carries us back tliroo years in the his

commencing his public ministry. Hi
had come to Jerusalem for the flra
time shipo Jip began to teach nnd t <
work miracles. His lifo had hitherti
"boon obscure till lately in Galileo , am
now in Jerusalem , ho wrought sign

was a teacher como from God. Uu
from his first appearance in Jorusa
lorn the prejudices of the priests am

A wound had boon inflicted , wind
continued to rankle in their breasts
Nor did this enmity ccaao till , throi
years after , it succeeded in bring hin
to the cross and to the grave.
You can easily conceive how in thcst
circumstances it must have rcquim
much courage on the part of one possessed
sossed of rank and authority to avov
himself to bo n follower of Jesus
"Not many mighty , not many noble
are called. Yet Oed has had in overage

among the higher as well as
THE LOWEH OIIADEH OF fiOUIKTY ,
It was on this very turn that Nice
domus first came to Jesus. Nicodo
mis was a member of the Jewish San
icdriin , the supreme council of the
nation , in short was one of the judgce
and senators of the land. Ho belonged
od to the sect of the Pharisees , the
most popular and influential of all the
parties into which the Jews wcro al
.hat time divided , and the out
which felt its self rightcousspiritmosl
deeply wounded and its powoi
ihakon by the lifo nnd doctrines o !
Jesus. Wo can understand how groa' '
must have boon the struggle bcfon
lie could como to rcccivo instructiot
from the now teacher of Nazarath ,
tlio lowly Jesus , the son of Mary tmi
Joseph , the carpenter.
On the cno hand prejudice musi
liavo led him to doubt whether one
with so lowly an appearance could bi

ing language by the prophets nnd ex
pected by the people to bo
A TK&iroitAr , I'JUNC'K ,
who was to sit on the tlirono of David
aiid establish a moro extensive do-
ninion than the Jewish ono had been
n the time of its greatest prosperity.
) n the other hand reason told
lini that no man could do
hoio miracles which Jesus did
except God wont with him. Pride
mist have suggested that , by avowing
limsolf a follower of Jesus , ho would
10 lowered in the esteem of the circle
n which ho moved. Ho felt us if he
leedod n teacher and n savior , and
ut ho was ashamed of ono who canu
n so lowly a form. For a time then
nust havu. been a ntruggle in hit

When at length the ijood overcame
ho evil , no doubt through the leading
of the spirit of Jusus , it was accom
tallied by an unworthy compromisi
if principle. Ho resolved to go tc
Icsus , but ho had not the courage tc

This is certain ; that ho would often

Passing over this pait of his lifo we

in his place in the Jewish Sanhedrim.
Jeans had como to Jerusalem at the
least of tabernacles and his presence
had been hailed by the multi
tude who crowded around him
eagerly listening to the words of grace
nd salvation which flowed from hie
lips. A number of the poonlo bo-
lio"od on him and avowed their con

It was resolved to send ofliccrs to np-

They hesitated and delayed carryinc

Jesus finished his discourse they were
so nwcd that they became complete1 !

kway undisturbed , nnd , at the risk of
icing terribly punished , they returned
o those who had sent thorn out , with
his signal testimony , "Nover man

sat in stern nnd sullen impa
tience waiting the return of theii
servants , nnd on hearing this uncx-
lected answer their passion could be
restrained within no bound. Horc
were their own dependents failing
, hem at this ordeal moment. "Art

L'harisocs believed on him , but this

Far above the fear , far above UK

their becoming offices. It would b (
difllcult to find in history a braverj
