MR . HILL'S SERMOXS AT HYDE . _ On Sunday last , two sermons were delivered in the Working Men ' s Institution , bv the R » v . W . Hill . Collections were made after each sermon ob behalf of Ira fends of the institution . -M-fa the morning the attendance was somewhat Jbin , an- impressUm having gone , abroad that" Mr . iiiU "would not reach Hyde in riiae for moTnznjs ; j ? er-Tice ; he having , under an erroneous impression a 3 fc » the time at which the coaches start , written to jay that he shdnld come by the first coach from Man ^ Chester on Sunday morning , flnding , however , that no ooach -would Teach Hyde from . Manchester till twelve o ' clock at noon , Mr . Hill went down . on Saturday night to Ashton , and thence to Hyde ia She morning . . ~ ' ' ~ The preliminary services beiig concluded , the preacher selected for M 3 text ,

teriBtics of religioii may obtain them and become lecepiive of all the blessed consequences :-r- " Thoroughly amend your ways and your doings ^ ; . Wieneachof these generAltopiemha * hadsach brief consideration ai th » time permits , tad the occaoon may suggest , wb shall endeavour , ; in accordance -with ; * postoli # iwwbing , to make the whdltf pro&table" bjrapplyingittoonrown case and cir ^ enmstances , enqoiringhtm far these characteristics of religion are developed among ns ! . How- far we have been ¦ * trusting in lying "words I—and what Bt € p = are immediately neoesearyto'be taken thiYwe m ^ r ealize the proniisea of God to his people . _ First th ? n , we hare herethffcharaotemtics of true religion ; and these charaeteristics are that we- thorongUy exectit © judgment between a man and hifl ueighboBi ; that we oppress not the stranger , the fatherless and thr widow ; that we shed no innocent blood ; and that we worshiptheLord only , and walknot
after other gods . These characteristics are go obvions , bo ample , and so strikingly defined , that they need little explication and bn * slight enforcement . The great beauty of theReligion of this holy volume isits simplicity . It 3 preeept 3 are so plain that the most dull cannot misapprehend them . The ' road to individual and national happiness , here chalked out , is so straight thai the wayfaring man , though a fool , « &imot err-therein . All our "wanderings from this road must be those of choice . All our neglect of these precept ? jnnBt be wilfuL Here is no ambiguity—no uncertainly , about the directions of the Eternal to his creatures—no secresy in the counsels of God : ^ all his counsels are " yea and amen "— " thus it is and so be it . " Here are no laboured corolhvriea—no creeds and compositions , of abstruse character aiad hard to be understood ; but the pracfice of benetolence and charity—the pouring forth of the mUk of human kindaess—the alleviation of sickness , of distress and misery—the deUghts of mercy which is ; "T-svice bleas-d ; ia him fca * takes and him that gives '—
tne exhibition of love for the brethren , whereby the Saviour declares that las disciples ahall be known of all men * ' - - f - _ Herein lies th « distittguishmg excellenoe of Bills Christianity ; that while all other forms and moaes of re li gion are full of-abstrnse mysteries , and painful observances , and elaborate and complicated ceremonies , the religion of Jesas , shadowing forth th-3 spirit of meekness , regard ^ chiefl y the exhibition « f charity in ihe fife ; andthatfor this reason—beraase ail iis doctrines and all its principles are such as , if rightly apprehended and believed , will necessarily produce this result . " By this /' sahb the Lord Jesus , "' . shall all men know that ye are my disciples ; if-ye nave love one for another . * And , in accordance with this single test of the . development of hia
religioii , "we find him always peaking of it not as a rdigion of creeds and sentiments , and ceremonies asd observances , but as one of habits and feeUngs , aad < iispositionJ and practices . Hence , when the Jewish lawyer enqnired of him upon what conditions eternal life might be obtained , he gave hini » o ins&ucrioa about articles of faith—he said nothing abotstiis holding this or that peonliar crotchet of an intellectual character—nothing about his being dacuuxl if he did not hehere that God , as a proof of his justice , laid Hie Tfhole punishment of a guilty tforid upon the head of sufiering innocence , and , as a proof of his mercy , extracted the hist groaadraiaed the last drop of blood and revelled in the last agony , of immaculate holiness , -that his vengealnce might be eajisfied—nothing about his "perishing
evf rlartingl j ^ unless he believed that three separate identities constituted but one identity . Of aU these and a thousand other matters of opinion he says not pee word in answer to the Jewish lawyer * qnestSan ; bnt he answered him , as was his wont , by le ^ Bmng to such familiar ch-anmBtAwpp-B and condoot « 8 might occur in actual life . There was amao ^ aays he , who Tvas travelling from Jerusalem to J * richo ; and he fell among thieves ; and they beat Ifin , and stripped him , and left him naked and wounded and half dead : and there was a priest came hy that way , but he passed-by on ihe other sidt ; liien a Levite came and looked at hjm , but passed -on-without rendering him any assist « iice ; but there came also a poor man , a Samaritan Snd -when he saw him he bad compassion on him : and he attended to his necessitiesaod Eet
, him oa-his own beast , and brought him to an inn and dressed his wounds and took caie of him , ana made provision for his being further attended to if necessary . Now mark the direction of the Lord Jesus to the lawyer . The lawyer ' s question was what shall ; I do that I may inherit eternal life I Jesns gives him this interesting narrative , and eoncludes it by the direction "Go thou and do likewise . " So in tba . t avrftdly instructive parable , in whicli the same gracious Lord lifts , as it might seem , th « cartain which conceals eternity from vievi , and gbews ns the very principle on which all men shall be judged , we have not one word or syllable of faith ¦ or doctrine ^ creed or otaremony ; bnt the sheep on the right hand are addressed in the words , of blewiim
and consolation— -not because they were Methodists or Calvinists , or Quaker * , or Churca-of-EagiKidmeD , or Catholics—bnt T > eeanae they-had iczwight the deeds of righteousntss in tl » spirit of benevolence and lore . Jfot because ye believed in the hypostatic union , or in the unclothed and -Eiuaanifitsted deity "—not "because ye held the deity i » be one person , or three persons ^ . bnt * becau » ye fed the hungry , and gave drink to the thirstybecause yon clothed the naked , and . visited the sick , and ministered to those that were a . pri-£ on—because ye did these works of charity and nse to your fellow-oreatures—come , ye ikssed of my Father , inherit the Kingdom prepared fox you from the beginning of the world . "
In Ftnct aoo » rdance -with thift illustrative teaching is the dire « t iBStruction of . the Lord" Give ta every on « fhaA asketh of fiiee , and from him that would borrow of thee tura thou not awav ; let him thai hath two coats gjLve one to him that hath none ; receive not honour from each other , for one is your Master and Father , and ye are brethren . *" Is ft said that these expraaioaa of the Lord are " only to bo received in * qualified and ac-C'jmjnodated sense—that they " -cere not literally given , and were never intended to be literally received ! I hrand tha man-who dares to make the invidious exception with the name of Infidel ! B y what rule of fair and honest criticism can the literal senEf be excluded from these words 1 They contain no affirmation of a natural impossibility ; there is
evidently nothing emblematical or allegorical in their intention . They were either intended for sober , literal direction for the conduct of his disciples , « r there is no posdbility of knowing "when the Laid means v , hat he s » ya , and when he does not—conseqnently , no possibility of knowing whether he erer meant anything at all . This , however , is a conclBsidii -which caalw . come to by no one whoTeceives these records as the records of eternal troth . 'Tis & conclusion which can be arrived at by nooe but the infidel , and I lepeat that none but an infidtl . -frill for one moment hesitate to accord to these words the strictest literal interpretation of which any words are capable . Intterlydeny the impracticability of Bterallj ; . acting oa this preeept ; and mnst ever do so , untu it be Bhown to me that the fountains of eternal goodness are so far dried np as that God has neglected to provide , in the assreoate , a
sufficiency of food and raiment for all . his children . Why does any man aak from another ! Simply because he is in need . But if we be all brethren , and if our common Father have provided a supply of comforts-which contains enough for a ll , * and enough for every o » e , it needs only then that this precept should be literally acted on by all to secure tinivertaT plenty , nnirergal satisfaction , ' and nniversal peace . Then "vronld there be a fall development ; of those holy marks and signs of true religion enumerated ia ihe text : there would be no oppression of the Btranger— -no" oppression of the widow « rth « fatherless—no shedding of innocent blood before tht Lord ; jadgment woala Tttf thoronghly executed between a man and his -neighbour ; we ahonld neither trc 3 t in lying words , nor walk after strange godi ; and we should then enter into the enjoyment of all the blessedness included in the s&eond point proposed for our consideration : —
The consequence predicated in the text of this national -development of trne religion : — " Then will- " I canro yon to dwell in this place—in . the land that I gave to your fethers—for ever and ever . I have already said that the words of this book are not merely historical detafls _; that they contain great and imperishable principles , whencewe . may reason by analogy , and which we may apply with oertaiatj to the conduct of all men , at all times , in all places , and under aU circumstances . This is no deviation from . the rule I prescribed for myself , at the beginning of this discourse , to adhere strictly to the liters ! interpretation " of the word ; for this mode of application is held universally to be strictly proper ana allowable , in regard to all books of a didactic or instructive character . Now , the Jewish people , unto whom these words were originally spoken , had a strong national attachment to the land in
-which they had beenlocated by Divine command . Their hopes of bliss—their dreams of happiness—their acme of enjoyment , were in the posses-SKHi uf tbia ljkBd . It was shared among them by -Oi-nns commandment ; not , as in our day , and as arr-opg their surrounding neighbours in their day in great lumps ; ainong a few individuals , while al die rebt were left without ; but they had it divided by k « t , according to their fam ! h " e 3—every family hvnmptsown" inheritance—so that there shonld neiiLerbe rich nor poor among them ; and , lest the improvidence of someisLor-M disturb this equality cf po ^^ fsaon . it ' waa b-p eciallv } Tuvi 4 ed that no estate shuBi'i ever be alienated iVoi ^ its ^ rue possessors , out tliat at the expiration of a given period everv man "sshoni _ Tmrfortune or improvidence , or even vice r « 'jd CTide , hadpaado j-aor , shonld be reinstated ints-wos ?«< s £ ionof ail tl-at he had lost . .
