G, —_—— EXTRAORDINARY EVANGELIZATION. TRE TEANFFORMATION OF PORT JERVIS. New Fork dun, ‘The Town of Port Jervis, on the line of the * Erie Bailrosd, bas lately undergone an extraor- dinary traosformation through the power of religion. The epirit of the place has been changed ; the ways of the people have been re- wersed, and the community has taken on a new sppearance. Where thers was vice, there is vir- tue; where there was selichnees, there is char- ity; where therewas euvy, thereis good will; where there was backbiting, there is peace; liars bave been turned into truth-tellers; swin- dlers into mea of integrily ; the licentious into models of purity. kindness has taken the place 'of cruelty and barshness; the foulhands bave boen clesnsed; the feet that went in the ways of ovil now pursue the paths of right- eonspess. The change that has occurrea in the etate of things is visible in the business places, in the manufacturiog es- i in tbe machine-shops, on the exnal, at the depot, aud in the streeta. I'n is visible in gociety and manifest in people's douses. If you knew Port Jarvis in other times, and visit it now, you will ses the transforma- tion, rejoice over it, and wish that New York ni?t exparience & similar change. ; We base the statements just mads about the : trausfarmaticn of Port Jervis upon a letter pub- ‘liehed by the RBev. Jobn A. Munros, pastor of the Methodiat Episcopal Church there. We as- eume from his narrstion that the visible changze described must bavo taken place, He %tells s that & revival has been in progross in Tort Jervis, and shat it made ita appearance some time 820 in bis church. Within two mouths 10 per ceat of the entira population of the busy liscle town biad undergone conversion in his own qburch. In October last the number of people converted ran up as high a3 265. During the month he was sssisted in his labors by s Iady evangelist named Mra. M. E. Lowry. BShe left et the end of that month; but, tevertholess, the work * continued with increased power,” eays Mr. Munroe: " Sothat upto this time (2Uth ult) there have been 265 con'versions this month ; that fa, 560 in all. Last S marmom. e ork s spreading asmong 1o tized 165 6 work is 3] Tcet infusntial railrond men o Port Jarvis,” Our chureh will seat_about 1,000 peopls, _yet they often go mway unable to find seats. The Rer. Horace W, Byrnes, of Theological Seminary, has been assisting 'us this month, Four hundred and four have joined our church alane, el Mr. Munroe's sentences are short, and his style 5 jerky ; but when a man has such ncws to «<hronicle, be is not apt to be long-winded. It will be observed that Mr, Munros mentions only the conversions effected in his own church. But the revival has shown itself in the other chorches of the place, and part of its fruits have been gathered m by other clergymen. If it go on for a few months longer, a8 it has gone on since the beginning of October, there will not bs an unconverted resident of the town of Port Jervis. This will be a wonderful and attractive epectacle. . Now, if thesa conversions st Port Jerris are true, genaine, aod practical: if the ‘change of heart shows itself In & change of life; if the <converts are turned from their evil ways;-then the transformatioa of the town'and its paople, heretofors referred to, must have taken place, ,or at least must be taxing place. Thers is no Ru:bimy of concesling the facts in ibis case. ey will not be disputed by the poople of "Port Jervis, or by any one who visits 'it. The daily 2ife of the men and women will be the all-suffi- eient evidence of the power of the revival the thres newspapers of fhe town wilf, goneciously or noconsciously, show forth this evidence, not only in their leading articles and Bews items, but in their bosiness notices and ad- Vertisements. i +~ We are rigorous and unyielding in demanding @rom religion the practical rruits of righteous- nees. ‘e cannot g1ve up the ground which we occupy in common with the Fophets, from Matthew to Jobn, and which is approved by Teason, common sense, And experience. We are happy to be sustained by the strong volce of the enlightened clergy in this posftion. —_—— CRITICISMS ON MOODY. THE NEW YOLX *' EVENING FOST ™ bss the following interesting review of Moody's methods and merits : The evangelists are encountering s much sharper eriticism in Philadelphia than they did either in Brook- lyn orin Great Britain, Whethar it is that Philadel- ;&hfl are mors critical of revival methods than n-.hs— jcus people elsewhere are, or for some ther reaxon, it appears even among church members who agree ‘with Mr. Moody in theological opinfon, there iss dis- position o question his mode of teaching what he and they agree in accepting ss truth, ‘Ths complaint most commonly heard i that ks deals almost exclusively in strennous assertion, neglecting, and even_seeming to scorn, tas & weapon of Offense against unrighteousness, and this fact wasas fest £0 those peraons who heard him in Brooklyn 2a it is to his Philadelphian auditors; but thers was Reres readinese, not ao apparent in’ Thiladelghis, to remember that Mr. Moody i a plain unskilled in logic;and eo profoundly convinced of the divine au- thority of the Scriptures that to guote 3 text n sup- port of his assertions reema o him precisely the same thing sa proving them by the testimony of the Al ity Himself, , Mr. Moodly is 10 more & theologlan than 8 acholar. 'He s as {gnorant, probably, of the ques- tions which every theologizn s called npon to seitle for himaelf aud {0 expound for his hearers as he is of the ariginal in which the Beriptures were written, To lim our English Bible is the word of God 4n every line and lefter. Ko questions of plensry in- spiration -fl:uxgum‘llna: ‘2o doubla se l:!u‘:; precise of the original or tlie accuracy o trazs- Lation disturb him, He has no metaphysics in his Tature, and cha conoedve only of the striztly anthrop- c God, whom theologians and thinkers re- conceive of. Hence Mr, Boody's special fitness is to Freach the Gospel tothe igncrant classes, snd so far s hohas drawn persons of more or less culture m- plead, bis work in this country hus been a failure s compared with that which ba did in Europs, Heisa Iay prescher to the multitude, and it seems tousa mistake to attempt to make anything else out of him, 2ad an tnjustics to messare him by the standard wé ting the qualities of a city pastor. Another complaint which cames fror _Philadelphis s that Mr. Moody presches only saivafion by faith, taking no paing wiatever to enfored moral ©f any eind. This appears {0 to be merely a result, 04 2 very natural one, of the facts already mentiomed. In his view the Bible has the full force of statute 1aw, and solqng as the Decsloque stands he sees no oocasion nr. and kneeled down in prayer with an earnest ap- left, it seems to me, is | peal to bis Maker.

CARDDNAL 'CLOSKEY’S OPINION OF HIS HOLIKESS. Last Sundsy morning, for the first time sinco his return from Bome, Cardinal McCloskey took part in public religions services in St. Patiick's Cathedral, New York. The Gospel of the day was from the twonty- first chapter of St. Luke, referring to Christ's second coming. After the Cardinal had read tha Gospel be addressed the congregation, sayibg that they would not, ha waa wure, expect of him, while hardly yet recovered from the effects of s tedious voyage across tho Atlantic, tbe delivery of & sermon drewn from the ‘Gospel of the dsy. Baut, little propared as he was, ho felt that he should be wanting 1o a just consideration for his audience, a8 well as justice fo himself, wero he not to seize upon the earliest opportunity to say s few words, it only to give expresaion to s heartfelt joy at finding himeelf once more among his flock, and at his accustomed geat to perform the duties of bis office, It was his’ first duty to give feryent thanks to the merciful Fath- er, who bhad watched over him, shielded him from accidens, aud conducted bhim in all his Journey in safety, and pormitted his return in the fullness of heslth. Next, bo would give thanks to all in his charge in his diocese for their earnest prayers and kund and sympathetic wishes during his absence. He was confident that the words they cared most to hear from him were in relation to the Holy Father. He bad been per- mitted to onjoy the privilege of being seated with the Holy Father in _private converse, and heard his words addressed daily to the hundreds who flock to see hum, and he was much impress- ed with the moral grandeur and sublime dignity of the holy head of their beloved Church. No one conid come within that holy presence with- out being struck with revereotial awo. A radiance seemed to gu forth from the Holy Father's countensncoe that lighted up the scenes around him. A melody was in his tono that went to the hearts of all. He stood _in his oapacity greater than all the Prinoes or potontates in this world. Thers was that belonging to bim which sbowed that he was divinely appointed to ba Cbrist's:| Yicar on, earth. * He aeemed to feel himself the tondar thther of bis flock, and this tender feel- ing extended to all maokind, When he felt com- pelled 1o rebuke those who were inflicting so much injury on himself and the Chugch, there was plety in bis toves, and a wish that they might be converted from the error of their ways. ‘This chosen ons of God had, almost from the be- ginning, to bear a crown of thorns, and to bear, with Chris; himself, his cross ap, up, the hill of Calvary. Yet, amid all, he bore himself with & modesl, calm aerenity that was almost cheerfal. flis paternal heait had been wruog from day to day by seeing priests dniven from their flocks, sod the persecuting sod unrelentivg hind of arreligions power rieing o choke the life out of the Church ; and tha benevolent light of his countenance wonld have long since been extin- guished bad it been in the power of man to do it. Heaven and earth might pass away, but God's Church would not pass away, nor the gates of hell prevail against it. Notwithstand- iog the efforts that had been muade against the Cburch, it was stronger to-day than ever 1t was, The flocks were now more faithful and tendar and loving toward the bead of the Church than they were before, Those who had faltered, or who had deserted, bad previously been mors of an incumbrance than aid, and the tests applied bad brooght ont in bold rehef the fidelty of the faithful ones. As Ohnstianity was i the be- Rinning strengthened by trial and tribulation, g0 it was now. It was well, he said, that they should consider the suffermg of their brethren in less favored lands, for they did not know how soon it might ba their own lot to suffer with them. They should be ready at alt times, and under all ciroumstances, to show their faith and stand by the Holy Father. with a solemn invocation to parsnts to train up their cnildren in the Church, and & request for contributions to farther the completion of the new Cathedral ————— RELIGIOUS MISCELLANY.

The Bishop of Jontreal has issued a pzstoral letter concerning the Guibord burial, whioh may interpreted as the last scene in that curious Irama. He congratolates his flock upon the zeal which thay displsyed in opposing the burial, bt he admits thet this zeal was *‘ not according to knowledge,” and compliments them upon tha docility with which they finally obeyed ths **voica of théir bastors,” and refisined from ate tacking the faneral procession on the oOcession of the final burial, It may be suggested that the presence of the troops had something to do_with this display of docility, and that Ly *‘the voice of the pastors” the Bishop really meant ?m glesm of bavopets, Sall the fact that the Catholic clergy at the lsaf moment directed their parishioners to abstain from rioting is incontestable, snd it is, there~ fore, possible to construe their peaceful de- mesnor a8 a reverent obedience to their spiritual Emdes‘ The chief point of interest in the ishop’s pastoral is bis satislactory ssaurance that Guibord's grave has been -thoroughiy and pormanently cursed. **It is now,"” remarks tha Biehop, ‘‘eeparated from the rest of tne conse- crated cemetery, to bo no more anythiog but a ‘profane place.” It will thus be ‘3 permanent memorial of tbe difficulty into which a Montreal Roman Catholie can get his bones by engsging in rebellion against his Bishop and Bhurch, 3 0N ORTHODOXY. A question of orthodoxy has lately been agi- tating a Canandisn presbvtery. The Rev. D. J. Macdonell, a Toronto pastar, n the course of an exposition of the Epistle to tae Romans, ‘was competled to give his opinion on the quession of eternal punishment, His position was one of doubt, inatmuoca as \‘.lm.il while some passages sesmed to him to teach the absolnte seternity of the punishment. of the wicked, others appeared to imply that finally ail would be restorsd to state of holivess. ‘A report of his sermon hav- ing been published in the newspspers, he was called to acccunt by the Presbytery, and frank!y expressod before it his poaition as one of doubt; and suud, farther, that he might bave been in error in_treating of a subject on which be had not yet been able to form a secsled opinion. He was very clear that the Confeseion of Fuith of the Church was not an ideal one. Hesaid: - I think most men will admit that, ware we now for the st time framing 3 confossion which was to be the test of office in the Caurch, the result would bes document contalning fewer Propoattions’ than the Westminster Confeagion, and leaving more room far differoace of opinion. The .tendency of Caristian thought nowadsys is to regard fewer and fewer articlss tial, and 80 to make it poesible to embrace within one Church a er body of belleving men. Most men will licswise adnit that the Church has tue right to revise and amend her Confeseion from time totime. It might have been better for the Prasbyte. rian Church had there been s periodical rovision and curtailtng of the Confession. i The Presbytery decided to allow Mr. Macdon- ell farther time to seitle his opinions vn thi- subject, and to xe?uh-a him as 8000 a8 the last regular meeting before the next General Assem- bly to report as (o bis agreement with the teach- ing of the Confession. k e - PERSONAL. The ublquity ‘of Mr. Smith is strikingly indi- | cated by the fact that he preaches to 160 Baptist’ congragations in this country. | The Bev. W. B. Nicholson, D.

B Bishop Cummins, of the Reformed Episcopal Church, held s vigitation at the Trinity Church (colored) of Charjeston, 8. C.. Nov, 2. He in- tends to devote the month of December to work . in the States of Soutlr Carolina and Georgis. It is stated that the Rov. Dr. Eccleaton, Bishop elect of Towa, has infarmed the Standing Com- mittee,of that Diocese thathe must withdraw from apy further consideration of his election to the Bispopic. This action is taken in conse- quence bf tho alleged invalldity of Dr. Eccles. tou's election. A eorrespondent inferms the Eraminer and r t Heory Varley, the English evan- gelist who was here Jast spring, received for his few weeka' labar in Boston $1,000. One reason why the ministers of New York did not counte- nance and support Mr, Varley wes this venal ten- dency of his. An English eorrespotdent thus writes to the ZLideral Worker conoerning tho Rev. Brooke Herford, who will soon be in this city: -« Mr. Herford's going is a serions loss in a mnltitude of ways. He isan original man, and has createl for bhimself ir Manchester a position- which scarcely any other man among us can fill.

Robert Collyer and the Clubs—-Whit- tier Making His Expenses. Boston Brains and Best Clothes Taking an Airing. A Charming Thiatre Company--~George Honey and Owen Marlowe, A Tea-Cup Beggary. - From Our Own Correspondent. ’ BosroX, Nov. 80.—Mrs. Sargent, of Radical Club fame, gave her first ‘*At Home" this ses~ son last oveoing. It wss a large and brilliant assemblage, classic Cambridge being well repro- sented, and most of the ontlying towns putting in an appesrance by twosand by threes. It wonld have been s puzzling, conundrum for a stranger, not up to Boston tricks and manners, to have looked fn, say at about half-past 8, and then later at 10, upon this sssemblage. At the first peep he or she wonld bave seen all the aasembled company sitting in solemn state, solemnly listen- ing, or appearing to listen, to & thin and ** awe- soma " looking ge itleman of the highly intel- lectnal pattern, who sits in the green and gold ** chair from the Tuilleries,” reading *a paper.” At the mecond peep—woila /—the paper, the chair, the awesome gentleman, and all the solemn company have disappearad asif by magic. In- stead, there is A OAY PANTY MOVING GATLY ABOUT Inits square necks [mem. : we don't countenance uncovered shoulders in thess Boston parties], 1ts white kids, its drees coats, and white waiat- coats, and Javender ties, All the solemn state has dicappesred with ‘he paper and the render, and everybody makes up for loat time by an exura amount of jollity. The peeping stranger would scarcely think it tha samwe company, and might well ask if he hiad not been & visitor in two distinct par- lors. But we know how to unite—or we thiok we do hore 1o Boaton—profit and pleasure; of course Imean intellectual prefit. And on this occasion the evening expounder of this profit was Prof. Bowen, of Harvard. And what he ex- pounded was of and concerning Spinoza. I don’t think that anywhers outside of Boston could be found a company of persons who would receive a paper liks this, on an occasion like this, with so little astonishment. The fact of it is, an essay on apy oceasion seams to e the incrensing habit, and no matter how dry or bowuusuited the subject, it is received as a matter of course. But there are wise ones who walt until 9 o'dlock before they mske their ap- pearance, coming in, a5 they say, * to the des- sert,” who escape this fashion of intellectual expouading. Amongst theso last evening was THE POET WHITTIER. He comes in with a sly twinkle in his eye, and modest. exouses for his lateness. which we all know the mesning of. The hostess herself, bright womsa that she is, raceives these excuses with & smile of understanding, and turas to greet other laggards in the same spirit. Yat, after all the alry litla fun we have over this uuity of ** BRALYS *ND BEST CLOTHES,"” at thapresent time it seems to bs the only way of giving a purpose and variet; at the same tima to an evening entertainment, for by this arrangement we certainly group together a moss 1interesiing company of the most various kinds, Here, especially in. thewe special parlors, wa find Harvard Profsssors and students, promi- ment editors and poeis, professional men and philosophers, brillisat women famous for soctal or artistio gifts, young girls in their firat sea- 800, who in time, perbaps, are some of them to be famous in their maturs day. **Did we all come here in our laces aund white kids to listen fo a paper on Spiooza ¥ seked a bright woman with a mischievous twiakie in her eves, of » bright man who did 1ot happen 10 be ous of the late comers. I think we are like the children, most of us; 'we sit down to the solids, waiting for the sweets that come after,” was the response. Sothe whole company geema to be agreed to ait cown to the solids for the sweeta of social interconrse which foliow, The posta come to meet the peo- ple they don’t meet elsewhere,and 50 oa through all the range of differsnces. The clubs this scason, Radioal and Woman's Club, or, a8 ws mupt call the former, the Chestnut Sireet Crub, are 1n full vigar. We had Bobert Collyer with ua the other dav at both of whe Cl Ho_lut off the Radicala vary aptly, or rather the prica which the Radicais pay for their liberal views in some places, by a good story of & certaln gentloman who was once up for the Gubernatorial chair of Illinois. ¢ How much,” saked & visitor, takiog up a fine edition of Voltaire in this gentleman's library, * How much did this Voltaire cost you?" *¢ Wetl,” was the responss, “3 THINK IT COST ME TEE GOVERNORSHIP OF ILLI- Nols. And liberal as Boston seems to ba to those who read of Radical Clubs aud free religious as- socistiors, it wouid doubtlesa be founa a very difficult matter for a professea Radical to sit in any publio chair of state hera though he had the caitors aud moderation of Plato. The Scriptural llustration of the rich man and the camel wouid come very apropos in this connection. ‘The social doings outside of ths clubs and stated eveuing recepiions are not On & very ex- travagant scale this wintor. The heavy failures have bad a marked effect upon scciety, and economy aud retrencbment is the order of the day.

Joe Jefteradn is really the only other actor with whom it i8 fair to compare Mr. Marlowe; aud this is very bigh praise, but none too high, as any just critic will allow.
