The New York papers contain a lengthy ac- count of 2 moonlight service held by Mr. Moody oo k0 14th inst. Following are extracts: znnounced departure of Messrs, Sarkey, Bliss, twd Whitdle from Northfield drew the largert audience at the prover.meeting last evening, The church was 1< Alled to Tepletion, and still crowds came clam- rng for camission, When Mr. entered by & #i2e Soor 1t was found that bundreds wers outside of the buflding who could not find room inside, and he fmmediatety directed an adjournment to the large va- cant epace fronting the chi The crowds retired 28 rajadly as they could, the melodeon was brought out for Xir, Sankey, 2 few Lighta wece pliced upon it $0-enable him torfad the music arranged for his bymzs, but the epeakers and the audience were fully satis fied with the mellow light of the moon. After the nrual preliminary esercices,” Mr. Moody spoke from tue text, *Chnst died for me.” He said: I want to read from fle 53d chapter of Isafah, g, * For be shnil grow up before bim zaa tender plant, and s a root cut of a dry ground,” and #o ou through ihe seventh verse. I want (o speak on the truth in this text—Christ died for us. I wish every one could take it to himself, and that it could sink deeper into evers heart. Thisis glad tidings; yladder tidings than even the shepherds on the plains of Bethlchem Lesrd, when the angels heralded Christ's Lirth, The only way to save us was for Christ 10 die, becanse * All we, like aheep, have gone astray,” and the soul that ainmeth it shall die, or some must die for #t. It is thE sweelsat, grandest, most sublime truth in the whole world, tliat He was - bruired for our iniquities and with His stripes are we bealed, There is a story of Napoleon L He had at one time eent out a draft, and & certain man was draft- d wko bad a large family and did not want to go. This man had a very dear {riend, who ofiered to go i bis place and was taken. The bawle came, and the Iriend was Killed and buried on the battle-field, After » while there was anothier evy ordered, and again this To2n was drafted ; but he weit to the autlorities and waid, *¢ You can*t take me." “ Why not 2° I have been drafted and am dead.” * You dead 7" enid the amazed officer. * Why, man, youre mad.” “No, I am not mad; I was and was killed in that battle, and puned on the field.” So then they turned to the books and found that he had sent s substituie; but they would not give him up, and he would not be taker. So they brought him before the Emperor, and there claim was allowed, and he was sent home. peror was right. Ho had to recog- subetitute. Through disobedienco we are dead; but Lfe is ofiered to all in Christ our Savior, Cbriet died in our stead, died in our slead. Lef that sink deep into eyvry heart; ma when ‘work was finished, the moclngs e Crow( mm:led, the cross pussed, the grave Jassed, and He bad gathercd His little band of disciples about Hiw for His fareweil, what was it He said7 *Go ye into ail the ‘world and presch the Gosoel,"—the Gospel of believ- ing on the Lord Jesus Chrict to Le gaved, and refusing 10 beiieve oo Him to be damned.

To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune: Mrwavkes, Sopt. 15.—In last Sunday’s Trisuse s “ Catholie” is very indignant that any donbts shoula ¥2 thrown on the trdth of the story regarding Louiso Lateau, her trance and her stigmata—this great miracle on which, ac- cording to ‘* Cathalic,” several books have been writton which prove nothinog, and the ingenuity of eminent men hss been exercised in vain. It would indeed be vain for me, after learning all this, to try to throw any further lignt - upon the subject. I may have my own particular opinion on the matter, but faithfol credulity would set such opinion at naught. With regard to the truth or faisehaod of the circumstances related concerning Louise Lateau, I will 0ot express aa opinion, nor will I try to defend Tur TRinuNE from the charge- of vilifsing Catholicity. Religions and opinions generally thrive by peing spoken ill of, and Catholicity will, very likely, gurvive anything that THE TRISUNE, or any other journal, may say or anggest agaiost it. Iwould, bowever, humbly venture to hint that thoss « modern miracles " are just ever &0 littla obso- lete, out of piace, and that the less said sbout them the better. There wasa time when men pinned their faith {o such toles, and when it was rank heresy to doubt them; but mon have thought and learned since, and few indeed at the present day will care to sot up again the broken idols of ignorance ana superatition. The world has become = good deal too skeptical for stories of miracles to obtain much credence, ex- cept among the ignorant and uneducated; 2nd to put such things gravely forward as beavenly manfestations is only calcnlated to bring ridicule on those who father guch absurdities. The | thus be confined to this particular sect more than any other is a ;\rnblem that I leave for others to solve. . We all know that lay-preachingis nothing new. Ever since the timo of Christ it bas boen the one great aid to the spread of the Gospel thronghout the world, and the source of somo of the grandest dchievements ever secomplished iu the Listory of tho Church. It is worth our {vhilo to notice thé way in whichi CArist chose to establish His Kingdom, taking men [rom tho homes of the poorand tho lowty, uneducaied: ond illiterate, and chocsing therh Trom thé most 4 lowly occupations in life, tu begin tho grest work of planting His truth in the hearts of men. Tpey were indeed to become fiebers of men’s souls, and, mspired by this ong thought, went torth to estiblisli & Kingdoin of righteousness that should be mightier thun any earthly Kiug- dom, and should have no end.” Thus, unaided by wWealth, intluence. carthiy wisdom, or power, thia Gospel was establisned among an unbelioving people. That God shonld select such weak in- struments to perform £0 mighty & work may seem to us_mysterions, but 1t seomed good in the sight of Him who chooseth the weak things of the earth to confound the mighty. There is 8 lesson to learn from this, and that is tbat in- tellectual | training is not absolutely esgontial to the grentest success in preaching the Gospel, more than it is to tho greatest achievements in business, but it has been truly remariod ipersonal interest, religious. fervor, ‘and a3 practical knowlege of tho world " will often bave more benoticial results. : The revealing of Christ’s_truth to babos did not end with the Dieciples. From that time until the present, the men that God las chosen to carry on His work have, for the moat part, been men in humble stations g( ‘l&f:;. # U;:_:iearn;::é nide untaught in dogmas an nicalities. bi - ap'm.‘dgby the agilfil of the living God, they have gone forth with an enthusiasm that no living power could quench but death itself. Thus tanght and inspired, do we wonder that thoir srguments were irremstible, but went forth as fire/from off the altar to accomplish the designs of the Almighty. These wero men who soughf not the praise of the world, but bore nobly its reproach, and by & uever-coasing desira to"act conscientiously, please God, and do His will,they Liave made their names immorial, and loft be- hind them a record tbat timo can uever obliter- ate. We may ask further, Who are. the men that are fitted for this particular work? Perhaps ths advice of Cazlyle to_young_poets would be ap- propriato to aspirants for this oflice, * Don’t, if you can help it.” We know that water will not paturally run higher than its source, and so Le who undertakes the.work of saving souls (for I nuderstand this tobe tho grand end of all Bible teachings and Gospel preaching) unless filled to overtiowing with the love that emapates from the. cause. he espouses he can never bo » successful fisher of meu, And may we not attribute in . & great measure the dormant condition of the Church at the prosent tune to this very fact, that the worshipers pre- fer a scientific lecturo. to the story of redemp- tion, or even hiatory of the Bible ; prefer to pay hundreds and thousands of doliars to profes- sional artists to monopolize tho service of song rather than render nnto God with their owa hearts and voices the service that He bas or- dained and expects gt their hands. Ought these things to be ? Do?wa wonder at the spiritual Catholic Caurch has no need of such adventi- tious nids, it i3 something more than the apostle of superstition, and it beed s not the aid of such *‘ miracles " to maintain its position among the Churches. Tuere are enough of these well-in- tentioned fabics to be placed to its accountin the past witbuit wdding any more to the list, and Cathobcity forgets its grand mission and noble deetiny when it stoops to countenance puerilities. *ue t:me for these tbingsis gone o7, and, I be) ¢ forever. Man needs-no super- natural illustrations to confirm eternal truths,— 10 miiracles to point. his destiny and support his faith. The faith that needs such contirmation 18 only the faith of credulity and ignorance, and the sooner the Cafholic Church ropudiates all connection with those pseudo-miracles, which are sull occurring from time to time -in out-of- the-way piaces, the bettcr for its character. The miracles of past centuries mayimpresa the ignorant, but will only awake smiles in the enlightened, while thoy are_ono of tho greatest aids to progress of that * infidelity ” of which we hear 80 wuch. Perbapsin the days when the Church bad to deal with a rude and unculti- vated people it was necessary to call on the aid of the supernatural a3 an incentive vo faith, but to suppose that such aids are necessary at the present day is an insnlt to the human under- standing, Dlind belief will not gofar in this age of inquiry, for men bave eaten too many of X ]fl_ml forbidden tree ” to swallow such childish tales. _Wiih regard. however, to Loniso Lateau, sup- pose all thas it claimed for her be true. 'Sup- Pose that sue lives for some time without food, that sho bLas trances, and that etigmata appear on lLer person, pray what does it prove ? Surely, not a supernatural interposition of Providence. =Perhaps dociors do not undor- stand 1t, and science cannot expiain it now, but if everything that doctors do not understand, and science cannot explain, be considered mi- raculous, then miracles are numerous ipdeed. It is not &0 Tong since an ccliveo was considered miracnlous, aud comets were looked upon ae su- ‘pernatural messengers ; but who considers them sonow ? Knowledge has advanced, and the age of particnlar miracies bas pagsaed away—ehrines no more utter voices, the voice of the oracle is maute, and a simpler faith claims a nobler God. Grant, for the sake of argument, that the case of Lounise Lateau 1s indeed a miracle, what les- 6on are we -to draw from it, and to what con- clusion does it lead? No doubt it may impress the credulous, but it wili make the incredulous more incredulous still It may make the power of God seem nesrer to the former, whose limited minds cannct grasp the infinitely graader miracle of creation and be- ing by which {héy are surrounded, but to ths lat- fer it muet secm a manifectation utterly um- worthy of lniomnipole:x:;z;d OmliscientBelng-— s species of eupernai 3 to un- worthy of the Christian’s i e o In all God's works we see the means propor- tioned to the end, but in this and such so-called miracles,,we have the ordinary operations of nature subverted for . what? That 5 few fools may wonder and adore. Is it not groes blasphemy fo suppose the Ommpotent would resort to such means fo win ouradoration? Are entranced maidens and winking statues necessary to win our worship for Him who rulés the Heavens and holds creation in the hollow of His hand? Sare- 1y not, and those who try to defend those mirac- ulyus interpesitions are doing more injury tothe cause of Catholicity than ite most bitter enemies can. Its enemies may traduce and malign it, but thoee defenders are doing iufinitely worse, They are mazing it ridiculous—thoge defenders who would fain perpetuate the ignorance.of the past, and build altars to a dead superutition, _ Oarrorio No. 2. R LAY PREACHING. T8 SPECTAL ADVANTAGES. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune = Crmicaco, Scpt. 18.—T read with nrmch plessaro your admirallc article in ToE Suspay Trmuxe on lay-preaching. It is somewhat surprising to 8ee this subject treated with #0 little considers~ tion by the masecs of the religicis denomina- tions in this coentry at the preseid. day, and és- pecially a8 the syatem contd not but belp to be (i rightly conducted) o great blossing to many of the small churches that are at the preseat time burdened with exponses that they are ai- most unable to bear. and at the same time help them to be mora usefal in extending their labor of love, and disseminating Guspel truth vhere now in many places it i8 to be received v many disadvantages. It is perhaps a m:’t: {act that wherever ll!-mldhing hss been car- xied on to any considerabls éxtant it has coms from the ranks of Methodism. Why it shoutd glumber to be seen around us ? Rather would we wonder if it' were otherwise. When the mod- era Church shakes off the ehackles tiat bind it to mtualism, when it throws away its useless adornments, and retarns again to the simplicity of Christ, then may we expect to see an advance- ment in the cause of true religion. Apain we may ask, Where shall these men be found that ars to fill the offics of lay preachers ? And the saswer is: Just where Christ found them. In the workshop and behind the counter, in the ficld and in the counting-honse, wherever @ heart buros with this desire to work in thispart of the vineyard., Where - can ho receive better instruction than in the fields of golden graim, where Christ saw g0 many beantiful lessons of Divine love, and he who mingles in tho buay throng in the crowded city, does he not learn many lessons that, if rightly applied, would aid in impressiog tho truth upon~tliose to whom ho iswsent ? Let those who think the Lord hath chosen them for -this ' work take their atand. The laying on of bands is a small matter com- pared with the salyation of men. - God will givo words to speak to hum who responds to tho call, and will bless the work if done to His glory. The grest revivals of the last two vears testify that God car and will work outside tie recog- nized Church, and often uses this means of dis- playing His glory and majesty in an especial manner. C. J. Saary. e AN AWKWARD DILEMMA. THE GUIEOLD MATTER. The New York Times editorially thinks that the people of Montreal have before them a very unpicasant task in attempting to carry out the orders 28 to Guibord's burial. It say: The-Montreal municipal autherities have been so- verely enticised, both zt. homs and sbroad, for their apparent apathy in tho facs of armed defiauce of the Law, 8o far a8 ths criticism bears upon their neglect to arrest any of the rioters it is probably just: but it must bo conceded that they are in a very difiicult po- sition 80 far a8 the enforcement of the ‘order of the Privy Councit is concerned. To merely bury Gui- bord’s bones in the Roman Catholic cematery i3 not task beyond the resources of the authoritice, Two or three regimenis of volunteers could escort ths coffin o thu cémetery, put it uuderground, and then garrison the cemeiery until the# gradual de- crease of tho French population in Canada, and tho calming induence of iime, should render any attempt to disinter the bomes quite imgobable. But this wonuld by 1o means meet the demund of the law. It has been ordered not only that Guibord sball be bur- ied In the Roman Catholie cometery, but that he shall be buried with the usual Roman Catholic service. Hero Lies the difliculty which troubles the Montreal authori- ties. “They may lesd an unwilling priest to tho grave, but they cinnot make him read the service, Of course, his refisal would be a defiance of the law, and would reuder him liable to arrest, Other pricsts might then ged to the cemetery, but they would only imi- tate the silence of the firsi. The result of persever- arice in this course of action would be that in timo all ti.< Roman Catholic priasts in Canada would be in jail, ‘-‘n& Gurbord would b no nearer & decent end than Iy Y. There js really no way in which the Privy Conncills decree can be carried out if the priests remain defiant, except by o sort of strategy to which no honorable men would lend themselves. It would not mend maters to import an Old Catholic priest from Ger- niany, or o Greek priest from Russia. Of course, clecgymen of elther of theso varioties could bury Guivord in & workmauiike way, but 80, for that mat- fer, could an Anglican clergyman. None of these, Bo'wever, would meet the requirements of the Law, for the simple reason that it is a Roman Catholio bunai to which Guibord haa been declared to be entitled. It is true that Guibord's bones might be secretly reduced to sishes; o priest might Lo induced by false representa- tion to read the burial servico over the jar containing hiem, and the ashes might subsequently, under mili- tary protection, be thoroughly plowed into the entiro cemetery ground, It is doubiful, however, if this would entirely eatisfy the wishea of Guibord’s friends, and it would certzinly be a device which would bo lv:n' far from reflecting credit upon those concerncd it Wiiat, then, can the Montroal suthoritios do 2 - They can arrest persoms who attack tho Protestant ceme- tery, and_ they can punish- those who doggediy refuse fo comply with the law. It is beyond tmeir. power, however, to give's Roman Catholic burial to Guibord it the pricsts’ refuse their assistance, and, so far, the Iotter have shown no eign of yielding. ‘Even if & pricst should consent to be present at &n sttempted funeral, he would probably provo sort of reversed Balsam, and instead of bleising the bones, 1 accord- ance with the order of the civil authorities, would curse them with great hoartiness snd skill, It s eusy to ask why the suthorities do not_compel the burial of Guibord, and thus, vindicate the law, That s precise- Iy what {hey cannot do_without the consent of tno Roman Catholio Bishop and his subordinases, g e CARDINAL M’CLOSKEY’S CHURCH.

To the Editor of The Chicago Tribunc: Ciasco, Sept. 18.—Matthew, sixth chapter, fourth, sixth, and eighteenth verses: These verses in the common version read thus = ‘That thine alms may.be in. secret : and thy Father which sceth in sccret Himeolf shall reward thee openly, ‘But thou, when thou prayest, enter fato thy closct, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret, and thy Father which sectlh 1 se- cret shall reward thes openly. "That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in sccrot : und thy Father, which Beeth in secret, shall rewsrd thes openly. The Grecek translated *‘ openly ” in the above verses is *‘en to phauerc.”. Theso Greek. words aro an interpolution. They are spurious, and should be rejected. So the word * openly” should be omitted. The Sinaitic snd Vatican manuscripts,, Tischendorf, Lreyellos, and Al- ford omit the Greek which is translated + openly.” These verses, a8 they are given in the common vereion, teach that be who thus gives alms, or Enya or fasts, shall be openly rowarded by his cavenly Father. But they teach when the word ** openly ” is omitted that tho reward shall be received in some way, secretly or manifes:ly. perbaps i somo manner unknown to the ro- ceiver thereot. Thereforelet him who thus gives alma, prays or fasts. be not disheartened if he does not openly receive the promiséd raward. 1s will surely come to him. Cuanies H, REe, —e . RELICIOUS MISCELLANY. THE CHURCH IN GENERAL. The sixty-sixth annual meeling of the Ameri- can Board of Commussioners for Foreign Mis- sions is to be held in Farwell Hall, beginning on Thursday, Oct. 5. Tue Roman Cztholio clergy of Baltimore have recontly discussed with each other the question of ecclesiastical costumo for every-day wear. By a large majority they decidedin favorof straight- cut coats, buttoning to the neck, with Roman collars. A Alr. Copéland writes to tho Liberal Chris- tian donying the chargo that Western Usitariana are niggardly in their contributions to support the denomination, and gives the pomnts of differ- ence bétwoen them and the New Engiand Tnita- rians in this wiso: (1) They are a.hodge-podze of Infigels and Spirituslists, with very few gen- nine Unitarians; (2) they are peripatetic; (3) they aro poor; (4) they aro stingy, and have often left orthodox churches becaaso too mean to pay for tho Gospel. The Earl of Dudley, on relinquishing to the Vicar of his parish his right to a pew in order to give proper accommodation to the choir, added those words: *I bavoalways held the iden vory strongly of vo church being in the most edicient state for servico until pews which may bs ton- anted by only one or two people, by which room is sacrificed, or which muy be closed altogethar, by which worshipers afe ‘excinded, are dore away with througliout the whole Caurch.” The second Sunday-School Convention of the Tiret District (sevenicen northern counties) of Ilinois wil be beid at Freeport, Sept. 21, 22, and 2 Addresses will te made during the xession by the Rev.

Brooklyn, and has_ sigually failed. Dr. Porteus, who be- gan a year ago, with such a flourish of trumpets, crowding every sort of a building that he preached in, has abaudonoed his enterprise, a8 the financial embarrassments have - proved over- whelming. There ate at leass balf a dozen pas- tors who propose to resign thia fall. Tho Halsted Stroet AL E..
