The Ministerial Association of the Presbyte-. -ridn Church of .Chicago discugsed at its last “meeting’ the “scriptursl ground on which di- ‘vorces are granted.” ~ The subject was one of - great interest, and called forth & very general and full expression from the members present. The prominent points set forth weje in sub- stance asfollows: On a certain occasion the Pharisecs asked the Sa- _viar; 1 it lawfal fora man to put away Lis wife for every canse /7 ~ Josus answered: “ Have yo not read that He which made them male lnlfl :am;le and mg “that for this cause shall s man leave imother an father, and shall cleave anto his wife: and they twain . ahall o one flesh? Whorefore they are no moretwain _but cne flesh, What, therefore, God hath joined to- " gether Jet o mman yuf asunder.” | Tho Phariseos said 850 bim: #why then did Moses command to ‘give a writing of divorcement and but her ¢7 Jesus replied: *Afoscs, because of the ess of your hearts, suffered you fo put away sour wives ; but from the ‘beginning it wasnotso. I iy unto yot, whoaoever ghall put away his wife, ex- cept- it be for fornication, and ehail 1n; another, committoth adultery ; and whoso marrioth her which 1is put away, doth commit adultery.” Society secns to e repeating the guestion of the F] in the pres- ent day, and but for two reasons the Sxvior's answer would be conclusive to all who recognize the divine suthority of the Scriptures, The first of theso reasons s, that many consult their own notions of expedisnoy Tather than the plainly declared word of God. Tho second 18, that certain words of Bt, Paul addressed to the Corinthians are construed as’justifying divorces granted for willful desertion. The words referred to are as fodows: *“If any brother hsth s wife which believeth not (i. e., 18 a heathen), and she bo plessed to dwell with him, let him not put her awsy. And the woman which hath 3 husband that believeth not (L e., 2 heathen), ond if he be pleased to dwell with her, let Bernotleavohim. © * ° * DButif the unbelioving depart, lot him depart. A brother and sister is ot ‘mnder bon: in such cases.” If there were s con- tradiction botween the Savior and 8t, Paul, the teach- _ingsof theformer would certainly have the grestir weight, especially as B8t, Paul says that he speaka of bimself, snd not of the Lord, Al appearance of con- ctipn vanisiics, however, if You construs the words of 8t Paul 25 refelting to s Mimpls separation from bed and board, and not 3 divorce from the bonds of matrimony: The Savior does not say that the adultery consists in the patting away of the husband or wife, but in tho putting sway and marrying another, o bt D gl of Sdutiearon 14 excapt for fornication, sl 5 of adultary.” e Eoatoxt Bt. paul forbids Chiistins 0 soparate or deny to each other the charities of marricd life, unless for » ehort_season, and for devotional purposes, but ‘when ho sddresses thoes who, provions to their be- Christians, were married to heathen, he says is ‘reco them or eir authority, The ents in favor of & diffcrent comstruction have their in Squestions of expedience and -matters of fecling, Sympathy for the injured party ts that it i3 a great hardship'to deny them the of marrying sgain, and thus require them to euffer for the evil conduct of another, Any law, by reason of its pniversality, may Work hardship in par- timlar instances, and under pecoliar circumstances, ‘Even viewed n tho light of expediency, the question i ot whether hardshige may arise in individual cases Tnder the operation of a general law, but whetlier it .will secure the greateat good to the greatest number. “Take, for example the luw of murder, which is of both “human and divine origin, The execttion of a husband and father s & grest bardship- upon the Wife and children, the innocent suffer for the guilts, .2nd yet the eigns of tho times show how necpasary the ‘@eath panalty is to the well-being of soclety, Viewed -385 question of political economy, nside ‘from sny ‘or religious bearing ihe subject msy have, it is & quostion of great doubt, whether divorces a rinculo smatrimonts should bp granted for sny other cause ‘ihan adultary. Whero divorces are granted for otber “eduses, it has the topdency to weaken the “Matrimonial relation and multiply the number of sep- arstions. It enables thoso who wish to dissolve 4hs relition for slght and insuficlent causes 45 do so, by simply changing fors tme, I¢ cnoourages basty and {mconsidersta ‘mariages, out the oy mny ey Sonniled. 1t da o domestic infelicity, in ‘many instances resulting in sepuration, When but for the laxity-of tho Iaw incompatibilities snd differences would bereconciled. It demoralizes soclety-engender- ing low ideas of the sanctity of the marriage relation, ‘removing the stigma that onght to attach 0 its willfal dissalation. -The truth of these remarks is substsn- tisted by the ala increazn in the number of di- vorces, ' The relation of husband and wife is the basis of 21l pur soclal. relations, and the foundation of the whole community of institutions, henco every safe- ard should be thrown around it, ¢ That which God 215 folnea together let no man put ssunder.” . . TRINITY EPISCOPAL CHUBCH. : ‘Trinity Chirch waa organized Match 5, 1842, The firat officers were: J. Brinkerhoof, Sentor Warden; 8.J. Sherwood, Juhior Warden’; sand Cyrenins Beers, Charles Ssuter, Caleb Morgan, Thomas Whitlock, and William H. Brackett, vestrymen. During its early existence it was fogtered. by the Bt James parish, and on the 15th of February, 1844, the Rector of 8t. James, the Rev. W. F. Walker, resigned the Rectorship of that church and! took charge of Trinity. During the ~sams )F“' a church edifice was _erectod on Madison _strect, between Clark snd LaSalle, which was ‘opened for divine service Aug. 35. The corner- stone of this building was laid- b{ the Right Rev. Philander Chass, D.D., Bishop of the Diocese; in the presence of ‘a large multitude. Mr. Walker resigned the Rectorship in May, 1847, and in Beptember of the same year the Rev. Mr. Barlow, of Peeksville, N. Y., was chosen 8 his successor. Mr. Bu_rlnwla‘mrad wery oceptably and faithfally until in Pebruary, 1850; when he was called home to his reward. The noxt Rector wasthe Rev. O. E. Swape, called from Bt. James College, Maryland, who re- mained in charge until -May 15, when the parish of Grace Episcopal Church was orgsnized, and Mr. Swope chosen &s its Rector. For nearly two years the Church was withont & regalar Rector, and was eerved in turn by the Bev. Charles Reighley and Rev. JohnKelly, D. D. On the 24th of August, 1853, the Bey. W, A. Smallwood, D. D., was solemnly instituted into the office of Rector by Bishop Whitehouse, “He was eucceeded in 1857 by the Rev. Nosh Hunt Bchenck, who served the parish until 1860, when the Rev. Jamés Pratt, of the Church of the Covenant, Philadelphis, took charge. Under bis sdministration, the new church, which was located on Jackson strest, between ‘Wabash and Michigan avenues, wss erected, in which the congregation cu:éiauod to worship until the great fire. This grand edifice was solemnly consecrated to the worship of God by Bishop Whitehonse, April 24, 1865. One of the dailies remarks of this occasion: *‘Although ‘the weather was very unfavorable, & good con- ‘gregation assembled to witness the interosting ‘caremony,—the climax of years of labor and de- ‘votion,—snd to hear a sermon from the former Rector of Trinity, the Rev. N. H. Bchenck.: The Bishop was sssisted in the ‘ervices by eight dsgymen,—the Rector of the igh ; Rev. E. M. Van Deusen, D, D., of Pitts- *Pa. ; Rev. N. H. Schenck, of Baltim Md.’; Rev. Henry Bpofford, of Oberlin, 0. ; Reov. Messrs. Cheney, Stout, and 8mith, of .his city.” Dr. Pratt resigned bis charge on account of ill-health, in March, 1863, and was succeeded by Bev. Dr. Cummins, April 17, 1664,—ona of he ablest Rectors, porhaps, ever in charge of Trinity. He was sncceeded by Dr. Eeeling, who labored until 1863, when the present Rectar, ‘Bev.: E. Sullivan, was__ called. from the 8t. George's Church, .

The chancel proper fa 35 feet deep by 343 feet wide, with octagonal -apes, each face containing s lofty, richly-traceried arch .of tlireg divisions. Tho chancel' aud sccessories are in an entirely novel manner, affording, through eido arches, a view of the altxr from the transepts, theside spaces being wutilized also for tho purposes of s Laptistry and for_choir, in a manier at ‘once convoriiont and Lighly conducive to architectural effoct, ' Bpacious organ-chambers and vestry aro pro- vided on either side of the chancel; also sido lobbics ‘#nd entranco doora. The church ia divided off fntor- nally by . arcades, . ‘consisting of . fron columns ,and arches, carrying a_stono . clorestory -over the pows, which affords sbundant light of the most advantogeous kind, Tho iron-columns consist of several slender shafts, combinod with & view of light- neas of effeot, and 80 arranged as to obetruct the View but little. Wide and lofty arches mark tho transept, and chancel. The roof of the chiurch will bo carried by arched principals of wood,with ribs springing off shafa and’ carved corbels, Tho celling will bu of polygonal shape,divided into traceried panels by moulded ribs,tho ‘s of plaster, all to ba richly decorsted in colon. e celtng of chiaucel will bo eluborately grained in ‘plaster, ywith moulded groiz ribs springiug of shafts in Engles of apee, with rich foliated caps, A Tich moulded Ani foliated corice will run all roand the chancel un- dor the window-sills, below which tbe walls will Lo oorateq wholly in color, with suitable imscrip- o ellp wholo of tho ichest choructer.

The whole of the building will be heated by steam in_the most approved principles, Special provisions is made for ventilation by means of 8 largo ventilating and smoko sbaft to bo carried up on the rear side to which air ducts are’ taken from parts of tho building. In the exterlor of the build- ing, the chief aim has been eleganco of proportion_with but little ornament comlined with Bolidity snd durability of material. The walls are faced with coursed Jolfet rock fuced stone, the window nels, arches, and all dressed stone work of the best Bliio Hiver sandstone, similar {o tho Chamber of Com- merce. The window tracery will all bo worked in stone, unlike the great majorityof Chicago churches.

Above tho chancel arch, the main ridge s broken by a lofty and elegant ball-turrot, of a total height of 115 feel The intention has been from the commencement to dispense with tho costly feature of a tower, THE RELIGIOUS PRESS. Tho Advance is out this time with numerous well oxecuted illustrations, among which is an sxcellent likeness of Mayor Meditl, which occu- pies the whole of the first page. A double -page engraving, giving 8 bird's-eye view of the Chicago Crystal-Palace, is finely exocuted and is well calculated to excite a lively enthusinsm in the minds of thoseliving in ‘and adjacent to Chicago. The great wonderis that it is pro- posed t0 complete such a mammoth edifice dur- ing the geason ; but if they say they will, it will no doubt be done. The engravings of the Facific Hotel and the Michigan Southern & Rock Jsland passenger-depot ~are very ood, and are just now %qu apropos. together, this is by fsr the best illustrated copy yet published of this popular journal. Edi- toriaily, the current number rises to explain its views on the ‘Sunday Liguor-Law,” of which the following is an extract: ~ Soclefy has s right to restrain or to prohibit prac. .Hees which are found to be preductive of public harm, snd esen thoso which are simply dangerous, euch, o tho storing and salo of gunpowder. we look upon 88 in no respect a religious interdict. . It proceeds upon Do Sabbatarian principle. It compels 10 man to regard, or to observe, Sundsy as a divinely- enjoined Sabbath, He is not forced by it to_goto church o to Temaln st home, or tosbstain from drink- .ing liquor. It is simply a polico regulation of a public trafic, by the-tale, bared on tangiblo facts. It is found that the; congregating Gf men on ‘holidays, ot saloons, with money in their pockets, and Jesture tlme on thelr hands, is invarisbly productive of povarty, drunkenness, disorder, and crime, Hence, “in nome of our States, tha sale of Intoxcating drinks is forbidden on clection dsys, and the law meets with general spproval. The same principle applies o Sun- day, which is s leisure day, on_which working men, ‘who have received their weokly wagea the night before, are specially temptod to indulgo in dissipation, and to Bquander their means in drink, to tho injury of their families, Anopen ssloon becomes, in such circum- stances, a dangor to the community, as truly os it is on .an lection day, or 85 truly a3 is msgszine of powder at any time. Has the State no right to provide against such’s dsnger? Who will agiirm it 2 .. The Slandard for this week pronounces upon the * Puritanical Sunday.” The ring of tho arti- cle is good, and. the spirit which pervades the -cloging words are commendable : As to the “Puritanfeal Sunday,” it is enough o gny that such an institution, in any objectiousble sense, exists no longer. There is no Christian man or ‘woman who maintains that the day *‘shall be observed by all tho people,” or by any of the people, *asaday of humiliation and prayer.” for rest and worship; meant to be the glsddest and rightest day of the whole week; & day Whose obrerv- ance shall promote public morality as well as individual welfaro. The laws of the land guard it with this view, and this only, There i -no chss in the community who wish to forco their opinions, on this point or any other, upon those Who Qissent from them, - There i8 a very ‘large class who wish to soo tendencles of the most mischiovous character effectually checked, and_public -morality and_decency, eo far 2s poasible, socured. Our German frionds forget one thing in al this mat- Aer. What they aretrying to dois, not to protect any ‘right of thelr own, for. no law of tholand allown them auy such right a8’ théy claim. They are secking to ‘completely change the character of an American insti- totion, Oan they think it strange that American Christians should be unwilling to surrender precious jmmunities which have been szcred in thialand for 950 years? Is it not possible to them that our Ameri- ‘can Sunday is s dear to us as their German Sunday is fothem? Thero {8 mo wish or purposo to oppross fellow-citizens of forelgn birth ; but there {s a purpose, fized and resolute, to koep the tutions of our fath- ers a8 from the fathers wo received them. " The Interior is talking this week to * Missouri e Presbyterians.” It also has o fow words about those 175,000 families in its fold that do not sub- geribe for any Presbyterian paper, which is s marvelous faot by the way. It then turns a frowning glance upon one of our Chicago dailies, and speaks thusly : The Times does more to bring disgraco upon the repuiation of our city than any and all_ other shames and scandals together, Tho inferoncais that s city which will support the foulest and most dastardly pa- per in the world must be the most shameless and de- ved city in the world, Ita libels are mot regsrded g;non.r Citizens, but it is humilisting to local pride that such a sheet should be published in this city, < GENERAL NOTES. * It is understood that the Rev.

The crowds of people who came to Chicago during the weck to investigate the town conld scarcely be expected toleave Chicago without paying a visit to two or thres of the theatres. They did this with euch & vim that the receipts at nearly every placo of amusement in the city, whether tho entertainment was good or not, showed something extraordinary. This was quite agreeable to the managers, and doubtless equally so to the visitors. The amusements were all of a light and airy charactér, and there- fore well adapted to the occasion. Probably had tho heaviest of .tragedies .been played st every theatro the result would have been the same. - Thus the opening week of the summer 8oason was a most succesaful one all round, and, a8 the visitors were in the main from the coun- try, the managers will, during the ensning week, cater to those city patrons who remained away on account of the anticipated crowding. There is a general change of bill all round, however, which, it must be admitted, was desigable. M'VICKER'S THEATRE. The Katie Putnam Combinstion, including Edwin Browne, H. A. Ellis, W._H. Power, and others, opened the summer season at McVicker's Theatre- with a highly-sensational play, entitled ¢ Bet ; of, Through Fire and Water.” The im- pression given by the first performance of this extraordinary piece was rather in- tensified by- subsequent performances. The play belongs to that very tenuons and unpalstable class of dramatic produc- tions which are‘occasionally heralded as having been especially written for somebody or other by some newspaper man of an ambitions turn. Thatit should have drawn an sudience respect- able in point of numbers, at any time during the week, was due entirely to the accidental advan- tage of the Jubilee. It gave no scope for any acting, and to pronounce nupon the capabilities of the company from such an exhibition issa difficolt matter. It Is-the intention of Mr. Browne to take it off at once, which is the best indieation of & desire to please that could be given. To-morrow evening “The 01d Curiosity-Shop,” the original adapta- tion of Dickena’ popular story, will be produced, with Miss Putnam in the duplicate role of Little Nell and The Marchioness. 'Those who have peon Lotta- in _the same parts will be apt to Putnam’s impersopstion. * The 1adyshows much salf-confidence in attempting _tooutshine an artiste who is 80. popular in Chi- cago. Thero are sVt songs and dances introduced; one of “them, “ Grandpa, -Bless Nell,” written for her. The third act con- tains the fair scene, whichis to be enlivened with a Morris dance by s full ballst. 'HOOLXY'S THEATRE, The summer season st Hooley’s Theatre com= monced with a bill which promised all sorts of good things. - A farce, followed by 8 local adap- -tation of the only burlesque that conld be ed for wit and beauty, was enough to out ood sudiences, especially when produced gy' s company such as that which Mr Hooley has -orgavized. But the promise was not kept by auy means, and.that the week has been » most remunerative one -at this theatre was not duo to the excollence of the programme. Our opinion, exprossed at the commencemant of the week, need not bo repented. By mfienfiad ‘performances the piece ran more smoothly during the past few nights, but Miss Glover’s indisposi- tion affected Miss Cowell, and the songs of these two ladies wera of necessity omitted. The effect apon tho burloague may bo imagined. Under the circumstances, the boldness of the manage- mentin retaining it fora second week borders upon extravagance at first sight. But, sa it is to be cat down considerably, purged of many of the feeblo local hits and advertisements, and there- byled back again half.way fram Campbell to Brougham, there is & prospect of its being lighter and more entertaining. 1t will be preceded dur- ing the present week by * Miriam's Crime,” with the following cast = MYERS OTRE. ‘The success of Manning & Moran’s minstrel company during the week bas bean deserved, iy good bill, with an entire change of programme, is ready for the present wee! the prospects are gonx {or crowded houses anc Iots of fan.

THE NEWSBOYS' BENEFIT. The effort now being made to secure & new home for the newsboys and boot-blacks is one which should be resdily seconded by the public af o in the same liberal epirit which characterizes the oxample set by those who have ‘taken hold of the matter. Mr. McVicker has set an example which commends ~ itself - to _the table. ‘When an in&firy was made of him whether he would give the ise of his thestra for a dramatic entertainment for the purpose he not only gavo his cangent, but volunteered to be- come one of twenty gentlemon who would guar- antee each ten per cent of the receipts for the rd&g'm:m.

William Stewart will be the manager of the new theatre, and Boucicault has entered into an agreement to act there for a period of five years. A committea of actors, artists, and literary men has been formed for the purpose of collecting funds to put a characteristic ornamental iron palisade, adorned by some equslly appropriate tablot; around the S eare oak planted on the tercentenary of the poet's birthday at Prim- rose Hill.

As a popular success, it has been remarkable in &very way. From a musical standpoint, however, it has ao- complished no good or important purpose, and, if it does not do harm. to mausic, it will be very fortunate. It therefore does not call for any spacial mention in our regular mufical review of the week. The only encoursging features con- nected with it were the fact that it has been found possible to organize a large chorus and orchestra here st short notice of good material, which is very encouraging for the future, when some real mugical work may nced to De dove. At the same time it must havo been & matter of regret to every musicinn that g0 much good material was collected and not utilized. The Jubiles has closed tho muzical sesson.
