SERMON." A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth. O LORD, I have
heard thy speech, and was afraid: O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the
years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy. God
came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah. His glory
covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise. And his brightness
was as the light; he had horns coming out of his hand: and there was the hiding
of his power. Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth at
his feet. He stood, and measured the earth: he beheld, and drove asunder the
nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did
bow: his ways are everlasting. I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: and
the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble. Was the LORD displeased
against the rivers? was thine anger against the rivers? was thy wrath against
the sea, that thou didst ride upon thine horses, and thy chariots of salvation?
Thy bow was made quite naked, according to the oaths of the tribes, even thy
word. Selah. Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers."-HAB. iii. 1-9.
SERMON."There were present at that season some that told him of the Galileans,
whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And Jesus, answering,
said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galileans were sinners above all the Gali-
leans, because they suffered such things? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent,
ye shall all likewise perish. Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam
fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in
Jerusalem? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish."
-LUKE Xiii. 1-5.
