To the Edutor of The Chicago Triduna: Caicaao, March 25-Some months ago & cor- respoudent of ToE YrIBUNE made some com- ments upon this subjeat, but he did not begin far eoough back. Recently, a Iady of this city has been overbauling hor old papers and has very kindly sent toms a maes of pieces of old mewspapers which sho wiseiy thought would be of Bome uso in restori.g the lost history of our city. Let others imitate her oxamplo! From them I have gathered the following history of tuo foundation of our first Bible-Socioty in 1835. Of the men engaged in that noble work, but two now remain amongst us,—Grant Goodrich and Pnito Carpenter,—and { am safe ingayingthat no two men in our city bave taken a more active part in_ every good work, and made loes noiso about it, than these two. They began early, snd are still st their posts. Judge Goodrich was one of the purest men we over hed upon our Dench, ana Le lost his renomination, when bis election was sure, only through tuo machinations of a corrupt clique of politicians who would not appreciate the fact that courts zre created for law and jus- tico. He bas lived, however, to seo themall brought before criminal tribunals and standing solf-convicted, awaiting their sontence, showing that the devil’s rope 1a nover 80 long bat ic has its termination. The Rev. Mr. Hinton was n Baptist clergyman, tho Rev. Mr, Mitchell a Methadist, the Rev. Mr. Porter a Presbyterian or Congregationalist, all of whom I haveoften heard preach. The two former are now deceased. Johm Wright, father-in-law of the late Gen. Webster, was a2 Deacon in the Presbyterisn Church up to the timo of his death. " 'he two ‘Temples were leading Baptista in shia city. Dr.Jobn T. Tciapls now resides in St. Louis, and is father-in-law of the llon. Thomas Hoyne of this ci W. H. Brown was a Deavon in the Presbyterian Church 1n ths city up to the time of his death. Thowas Wright was a law student in this city, becamo a lawyer at Racine, Wis., where he died. Licut. Louis T. Jamiccon was aa officer at tho Fort and snd afterwards promoted to Captain, when he resigned snd removed to Texas, whero he died. Of the others I have no remembrance. JorY WENTWORTH. Puoresuant to previous notice, the Ministry and a number of the members of several religious denomiustions assembled in the Methodist Chapel in Chicago, August 18, 1835, to consider znd sdopt somo mersures for the dissemination of tho Holy Scriptures. Oa motion of the Lev. Jeremish Porter, tho Rev. John T. Mitchell was callea to the Chair, nd Grant Goodrich, Esq., was chiosen Secretary. “I'ha abject of tho meoting was explained by the Cbairman, and the Throme of Grace addressed by the Rev. Jeremmh Porter; after which the following resolutions wers presented and adopted munnimously, on motion of the Ev. saac ‘I'. Hinton, scconded by Jobn Wright, Resatved, That it i3 the imperative duty of every Christian to extend the circulation of the Holy Scrip- tures to the utmost of his ability; and that this obliga- tion will not cease till every individual who can read thiem is put in possession of 3 COPY. On motion of the Rev. Jersmish Porter, seconded by E. Thomas,* Esq., Resoleed; Thot, for the accomplishment of thix object, it is expedient that we form ourselves intoa. Bible Society, auxiliary to the American Bible Society. The movers of thees resolutions supported them at some length with able and appropriate remsrks. A suitable constitution for an auxiliary Bible Society was then presented, read, and adopted : and fifty-nine persons gave in their names as members, subscribiog in the aggregate the sum of $85.25. Tho Society thus formed proceeded to the election of its officers for the current year, and tho following individuals were chosen unsni- mously : President—The Rev. Isaac T. Hinton. VieePrendents~r. John Wright, and Grant Good- rich, Esq, lx'rcrmtq.ny Secretary—The Rev, John T. Mitchell. pCurrcaponding Secretury—The Rev. Jeremuah T. rier. Treasurer—Dr. John T. Temple. Frecutive Committce—>ir.

At T o'clock p. m. the mesting was called to order by the Preeident, at whoeo request the Throne of Grace was addressed by the Rev. Mr. Warner. The minutes of the meeting which the Society was formed were read by the Secro- tary, and approved. The report of tne Treas- urer Dr. Jobo T. Templs, wes then read, aod, ou motion, accepted. Tuo Recording Secretary presented the an- pual report of the Executive Committee, which was read, and, on motion of Dr. Joha T, Tempte, accepted. Dr. 'T. supported his motion with an appropriate address., * 'i‘ua following resolution, presented and moved by the Rev. John T. Mitchell. and seconded by Mr. P. Carpenter, wes read 2nd adopted : Tesolved, That, as the Author of tne Bible fa slso tho Governor of the world, from whom we recefve everytemporal as well a3 eriritzal blessing, the first fruits of our prosperity ara justly His due, and should e devoted to the establishment of the Kingdom of God, by the distribution of the Word of Life. The President, the Rev. Isasc T. Hinton, called the Treasurer to the chair, and offered the following resolutiot, which he supported by » very ablo and appropriate address : Jeesolred, That thia Sciety Tegards the continued snd progressive optaing of Vapal and Pagan countries to the distribution of tbe sirzd Scriptures, both 2s a decisave testimony of Divine favor on tlo pass and present cxertions of Libie Societies, and 38 an in- dispensable and urgent apperl for persevering labor and increased liberal The above resoiut Thomas Wright.

Tothe Edstor of The Chicage Tribuna 3rsxEGOY, Mich., March 22.—What the Bav. Mr. Bailey calls upon me to do hie bza dons him- eolf. Iharebutto referto his articte iz lsat Sunday's Temoxz. He offered to prove the following ssgertion: *“From Jernsalem ths hurch going east into Armenis. south into Abyssinis, and west into Italy, used the Sabbath for its worship-day. At Rome it met Constan- tine's pagan venerable dayof the sun, and fled bofore it into Piedmont.” Has he fulfilled his promise? To tbe unwary reader it may ssem 50. Thereis certainl; arTay of quotations, but by examination it will be seen tnat hs cites sothors of, to say the least, doubtfal au- thonty; most of the quotations sasert what is not disputed, and the most important part of hus assertion he does not attempt to prove. Modern sectariaa researchers or biaaed histo- risng caonot be accopted as authority on this subject. If the historian is a Cathohec, he will make history spesk in his favor. A Sabbatarian will do the same. To satisfy a candid mind Mr. B. must quote from contemporary histors from the New Testament, and tho Church fathers. Why Le did not do so is very obvious. They witness against him. The majorty of his citations, granting them to be true, go to show that Saturday haa boeo ob- served by various sects in Armeuis, Abyssinia, and the West. But that is not the point in question. It is an undisputed fact that & number of the Jewish proselytes ching tenaciously to the Mosaic customs and cero- monies, and for somo time observed Saturday. On account of this tendency among thom, diffi- culties arose in the Apostolic Church between the Gentilo and Jewish Chnstians. In Acts xv. we are informed that Jewish converta taught that **The Gentiles must bo circumcised and kecp the law." Peter calla this * to put a yoko upon the neck of the disciples.” Panl, how- ever, to accommodate the Jewish prose!stes, cir- cumciged Timothens. Why does not Mr. B. con- cluda from this thet wo also must be circum- cised? Why not vindicate this law, too? In Gal. ii. we learn that Panl would not cir- cumcive Titus **beczuse of falge brothren una- wares brought in, who came 1n privily t0 epy out our liberty which we have m Christ Jesus, that they mght brinz us ito bondage.” o 0b- gorvo the ceremonial laws was s wmatter of Lib- erty, hence the Jewish converts wera permitted to observe their accustomed Sabbath. To mako good his statements, Mr. B. must provo that the orthodox Church went into Ar- menia, Abyseinia, etc., and finally tled into Piod- mont, or in other words he euat trace the or- thodox Church into Armenia, Abyssinia, Italy, and theuce to its settlement in Piedmont, Itis a conceded fact that the Apostles iabored mcetly in Asia Minor, Greece, and Italy. The writings of the Apostles and their immedisto successors aro more or lesa extant. To them we must go for information concerning the customs ana doctrines of the primitive Church. From them we learn that Sunday was called the Lord's Day, and also that the Church in Christian Jiberty observead it 83 their Sabbath, as I bave suown in a former atticle, loping that T hava now satisfied the demsnd of Mr. B, I will call the reader’sattention tothe real issue between Jir. B. and myrelf, viz.: What part of the law given to the Jows is moral? It 18 futile labor by long articles and numerons quotations to vindicate the propriety of the moral law, this being; admitted by nearly all Christians. The punctum questionis is: What shall we and what shsll we not cossider as morallaw? We can safely bo guided by the following rale: To be moral a law must bave these attributes: The witness of the conscience. Its ratificaticn in the New Teetament and the punichment inflicted by the Lord for its transgression. St. Paul sags, Rom. ii., 15, “*The Gentiles show the law written in_their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean. while accusing or elso excusing one snother.” Applying this test to the ton commandments yon will find it an easy matter to convince any hoath- aa, whose conscience is awakened, that he should tear, love, and trust in God above all things, not take the name of the Lord in vain, but serve Him with prayer, praise, and thanksgiviog ; but when it comes to esteeming a cortain day holy, and consecrating that day by cessation from la- bor, s conscience no longer bears witness or accuses him when he transgresses ; therefore, we bave bhere aun infallible testimony that the observauce of Saturday as a day of rest is a cer- emonial law, The sccond attribute is the ratification of the Jaw in the New Testament. How does the fourth commandment stand this test ? We find in un- equivocal terms tho ceremonial part of it an- nulled. Proofs of this [ bave given in a former :niclo. I will not weary the reader with a repe- ition. Thirdly we find that the Lord has frequently puvished heathen nations, commaunities, and in- dividuals for transgressing the moral law. peed but refer to_the Egyptians, Sodom and Gomorrab, and to Herod. We tind, howerver. no instance of heathens being punisbed for dee- ecrating the Babbath. Anotber stroug proof that the observance of the Sabbath a8 a day of rest ia purely ceremonial. ‘Tho above is a safe guide for determining what is and what is not moral law. By applying it you will see that not ouly was the observance of the seventh-day ceremonial, but also the commandment, incorrectly called the second. My conscience Will never witness with me that it 18 & 8in to make au 1mage of anything, nor do wa find auy confirmation of this law in the New Testament. ABEL ANDERSON. g RELICION AT THE CENTENNIAL. TANORAMIC CHURCH VIEWS. o the Editor of Tho Chicago Tribune: Cuicaco, March 24.—As preparations for the exl jan of rare specimens of art and scieace aro going on at Philadelphia, we havo been thinking that onr churches cught to be making gome preparation for exhibiting to foreigners our ‘‘American Religion.” For this purpose lot space be secured on which to erect a platform. As hundreds and thousands of people of foreign lands arc rambling through the great Cen- tonnial buildings let some gentleman come to tho froot several times in 2 qay, and explain about s follows : Ladics end gentlemen, your attention is invited to a series of panoramic pictures illustrating what a splen- did religion we bave in America. The first pict- ure shows a reprerentative church edifice. It cost only £200.000. Itis true, a building that would serve every practical purpose that it does could be built for half the money, sndthe masses are very much in need of mission churches where the Gospel may be preached to tho common people, but the society wor- shiping bere is wealthy, and believes in baving things “rather mice,”™ 60 it concluded the * masses” might take caro of themselves, while it epent the little sum of $100,000 in beeutifying and adorning the church. The second picture is an ins:de view of the same church. You see that overything is in splendid style. But without consuming much time on this’ picture, we will now introduce the third of the series, which represents the audi- enco engaged in_**divine worship.” This is a splendid view. Let me call your attention first to the minister who bas just ansen to begio his disconrse. fle is the Rov. Ar. Bmoothilaway, D. D., LL. D. F. I S etc., eic. He is a splendid fellow. His ealary is only 25000. It appears rather ismall, but as these are hard simes, he says he manages to get along and live comfortably. To -appreciate bim fully, You must bear him preach. 1 might speak for bours about his graceful manners, and the eloquence of his sermons, but will only mention one very important item. He seems to have the best faculty of preachiog so 28 to ** hit” nobody of avy minister I ever beard. Under the preaching of Weeley, White- field, President Edwards; and Preeident Fin- pey ' and Jomes Caughey of _ later years, men very often became offended and persecution was the reeult; but under our * revised preaching system ' results aro quite different. The secret of the matter hea in the fact that our ministers have succesafully learned how to Smooth down the stubborn text to ears polite, And snugly keep damnation out of sight. 1 would next cali your attention to the ladies and gentlemen composing the audience. You can soe by their rich and costly attire they are very weslthy. Formerly the poor had the Goepel preached tothem, but wnder our improvea ays- tem it i8 [reached to the rich. The poor ars neither expetted mor desirsd in most of our chupches. 1t is true, & few of them do eometines intrnds, but we soon put & ®op ~e that by renting the pews.

Thus i ‘very important.” e “The religion of Christ,"he Tesumed,” has stood the test of nearty 2,000 years—" “ And thatof Moses twice s long,” said the other. Mr. Moody paused, and, looking at his visitor with an air of curiosity mingled with pity, said : ‘1t is strange that you Jews ahould reject Jeaus, Who sras himself 3 Jew." “Ta it stranger,” said the other, *than that the Christians should have persecuted the Jows for centu- xiea ouly an sccount of their belief, after thinking a Jew, who was not even a perfect man, good enough to e their God 2" “Not n perfect man?

" «Did hie not curse the Pharisees, the most learned sect of Lis day, to which Ho humself belonged, and call them *n gencrations of vipers’—s most unjust aud aweeping denunciation of a whalo political party. To Lis own mother he said, * Woman, who art tnon? '™ “JIo did curse tho Phamsces.” said 3ir. Moody, #He called them vipers, a8 I might call persons vipers, but calmly and without any snger.” “ Such Janguage might Le pardonable in an ordinary man, but not in one whois beld up as a God. Desides, the Jews could not be hismed for not recognizing Jo- ans, whom they knew énly a5 the son of Mary and Jo- scph tho earpenter, as the Measiah, the royal descend- ant of David, They wero longing for tiie Messish, and would willingly have believed in the claima of Jo- sus if they could. At first they questioned him with ‘manifest nincerity. but he snawered them only with, reproofs and mysterious words, which could give no eatisfaction.” So they crucified him 77 said Mr. Moody, = « The Homana crucited him,” replied the young man. **It s true the Jews demanded his death, but not until Le attacked the fandamentaland moxt sacred prncipleof Judaism—the absoluts unity and indivist- Dility of God. DBut how can you blame them, when you belicve that Jesus preordained that it siould bo 807 If the Romans and Jews had mot put himto death, you would have no Savtor for you to tell that it 15 only through Hia Llood that one can_be saved. Eo- zider, did not Jesus himself say : * Forgive them, they know not what they do 7' 1 do ot blame the Jews, and I have never apoken againut them,” eaid Mr. Moody. * The statement ina Puiladelphia newspaver that I did is untrue. I never Bee & Jew but I feel like taking off my hat to lum. In my opinion your people sre destined to ba the great missionaries to convert the world to Chriat. Wkat better agency could thers be?

In all their ancient glory— which was not very graat after all—they wero never uey prosperons and a8 powerful as they are now. " “You will all go back to Jerusalom, aud you will all be bronght to Christ at last,” saia Ar.

Prove to me that Christianity is purer tuan Judaism and I will ‘become 3 Christian.” “ It is not a matter of resson.
