He called the attention ot the congrezation to the concert by the Apollo Club, in the Tabernacle, and stated that the Cook County Sunday-School Convention would be held tivo weeks from yesterday, in Farwell Hall. The meeting was dosed with the benediction. TITE WORK IN BOSTON. . MOODY IS SATISFIED WITH IT. The Boston correspondent of the New York World thought it proper to interview Mr. Mloody upon the suecess of his work as far as it has progressed. Following is the result of his in- quiries: It hasnow been two wecks since the evan- gelists, Moody and Sankey, held their opening meeting in the Tabernacle on ‘Tremont street, and it is pretty safe to say that it is no long curiosity alone which prompts _the 20,000 or 25, 000 people who daity make their way thither an pass a couple of hours or so of mild martyrdom on the hard chairs which have been prepared for their use. Curious to know how the progress of the work here was meeting Mr. pectation, your correspondent, shortly afier th conclusion of the afternoon meeting to-day, called a1 the residence of Wir. Henry F. Durant, 30 Marlboro street. for the purpdse of inter- viewing the revivalist. A card dispatched to the third story, front, was soon returned to the sitting-room and in the haud of Mr. Moody him- self. ‘He was in the best of lumor; but his Dblack walking-coat, buttoned to the chin, and the evidently careless manner in which his feet had been thrust iutoa pair of neatly-worked slippers, gave bim the air of one to whom mo- ments are precious. “Barkis was willin’” though, to tulk, and after a few preliminaries: the conversation rau as follows: “ How are you satisfied with your work iu Boston so far, Mr. Moody? " “ Perfectly. perfectly. - We've never been in a city before where things started off so well. The work couldn’t well have opeued better. Our prayer-meetings are larger than ever before at this staze in our labors, and it is the_prayer- meeting that tells Low the heart is. We look on the praver-meeting and the women’s meet- ings as the best indicators of the true condition of things.” H + Did you expect to meet with prompt sue- cess?? *Yes. I felt that God was goingtodoa great work here, and now I kuow He is. When The inothers take am juterest you may be sure there’s something glorious going to_happen; 4nc they are taking an interest now. Every day 1 get letters, whole handiuls of letters, from wmothers all over the land, aud they want their sons prayed for, or their friends praved for, aud we pray tor them. Louk at taose hot there.” (Mr. Moody here moved his hand toward the Hwposing row of brown-stone fronts on the op- posite side of Marlboro street and continued in 2 very impressive half-whisper:) * There's a skeleton in evers one of them; there’s a skele ton in every house in Boston, and there’s some one who knows what the skeleton in earh case is, who will pray for its removal and ask the prayers ot Chri:t!mu:eoplc as an assistance.” “‘Have you notices your congregation any- thing o1 that cold imellc&'lu:\lit?' wlieh is sup- posed to be peculiar to Boston No, not a bit of 1t. Igon't look forit. 1 ‘have found everything as satisfzctory as I could satis] v than I expected; so I ep ou preaching and leave the result 30d. “How do you like the Taberuacle?” wPerlectly, excopt in one thing—the inquiry- rooms are too small. This causes us tmflflc, as we have to go outside to hold our meetings. 1 hear many of your people think $3U,000 ought not to have been vutinto the Tabernacle; that it is held to have been anunnecessaryexpense. They keep sending me letters and_clippings about it Oue man tizures out how many conds ot wood that money would buy, another snows me how mauy poor” people it would feed, and fo they Yeep itup. They say that $30,000 should bave been given in charitics, and that then some practical good would come of it. Now, thisisa b mistake. Suppose but une man who has Leen a drinker comes to our meetings and is gaved. Wou't lie begu to lovk out for his own Lousehold and give his family the money he had been giving to the tavern-keeper? Most assuredly he will. Well, if bundred come, so much the better. Now, we n have any trouble to get money. 1f God touches men's hieasts they arc free to give their mouey in His capse. I shouldn’t be surprised if the very persons who are worried because of the $30,000 put _iuto the Tabernacle would be the last to help a suffering fellow-creature. 1 know it is sald, too, that cvangelists ought to foilow the vld Scripture model, and forth witiiout money in thelr purse or 4 e of clothing, but you tust remember that in those days the disciples bad ail things in common.” ¢ A preacher tryfug that course now wouldn’t be certain of a meal—"' . (nterrupting.) = Oh, ¥es, he would! If God calls a mau to preach He'll proyide a way to feed him and clothe him.. But that fsn't it. It is necessary to have money nowadays to conduct this work as it should be conducted. ‘And there is pleuty of money to be had, too.

It is through the churehes that the great work is to be done after all. \What they want is a quickening, a cutting loose from all deaduess and lukewarmness and an earnest, united effort for the good of their people.” “ Have you scen anything yet which looks 1ike a perinanent impression for good on your congzrezations here—have there been cases of real conversion?” ~Well, we are not to judge of that, but the interest shown in our meetinzs has been most couraging, and sometimes two or three thou- sand have arisen for prayers at one time.

DR. ADLER CALLS IT DARBAROUS. Prof. Felix Adler, of Cornell, who, it will be remembered, was educated as aJewish Rabbi, lectured in New York last Sunday on “The Secoud Stage of Religion—the Religion of Force.” He condemned the crudé and repul- sive superstitions of this system, and asked who woul@ wish to revive them. *The object of our meetings,” he said, “isat least recuperation. Tooics of interest in business and political life engage our attention during the week, but on this, the day of universal Yest, we are permitted to follow the streamsof sentiment, and from some frec eminence of thought survey the uobleness s what we aim at. Therofore we should be careful not to peer too deep into the human heart. We cannot dwell too long upon vice and folly without finding our tranquillicy of mind disturbed and our moral integrity deteri- orated. 1s it not well, then, to cease for a time from thinking of men as they are, and think of them as they may be, and as they will be, when our brigitest hopes for the future of the race are realized! But many of the real evils of the past still survive, and these we must considerand grap- ple with, whether we will or no. As the physi- cian analyzes loathsome bodies to degpet dis- case, so let us examine these hoary supersti- tions which have so long affected the mental health of men, and undermined the witality of society. ¢ “Man worships the great frecly and from nstural impulse—not from fear, but from ad- miration. The first tyrants were strong men, perhaps beautiful men, too. The gods were originally such tyrants, enveloped in mystery, and credited with unlitnited power and” innu- inerable graces.” Dr. Adler went on to speak of the sun-zods, and said that the attempts to explain meteoric phenomena fu connection with the Heavenly Pantheon gave birch to the so- called myths. Ie gave a few specimens of the myths thus originated as follows: Two old Jadies, the sun and the moon, had a_ereat numg ber of children, more than they wanted, so they agreed to kil thew. The sun did kil hers, and ever afterward dwelt in solitude. The moon, however,brokeher wordend kept herchildren,the stars, thereby lucurring the enmity of the sun. To be revenged, she started in pursuit of the faithless moon, and as been chusing her cver since, but never overtakes her. Sometimes she comes very close; then there is an eclipse. Another myth is tothe cileet that at a certain season of the year the sun-god becomes bold and leaves his country to dwell among his enemies, veing lured there by some fair en- chantress, aad to this Dr. Adler attributed the origin of the Bible story of 3amson,which means the Sun, and Delilal, vho robbed him of his his hair. The mytho- logical conflicts between thc sun-gods and the detons of darkuess, and the mythological story that roses sprung from the blood of Adonis and znemones from the tears of Venus, were next related, end the lecturer continued: * Looking at all these deities. what are they but figments of the buman brain, colossal images of our- selves cast upon the ists of the unknown? lorses and ¢cows could. draw their own gods, says an old philosopher, as horses and cows they would draw them. So with these, zods; they are like us, with human_passious, human fail- ings, huinan lon; T of supersti- tion are vain, false; vindietive: they love; they Date like us. In the image of God "did Ie ere- ate man, it is said; the reverse is true. In the jmage of mau do we create gods. “The gods arc cruel; they demand dlood. A few years ugo a waterman on the Danube refus- ed fo help o drowning mwan beeause he was afraid to anger the water—‘the Danube will have its own,” said he. In Africa men are sewn up in sacks and thrown into_the ocean 1o ap- i s. In the Fiji Islands b ert ship- tion of human saerifice with B are val which was kept every fifty-two years by the Mexicans. The hummi victims were slafn at midnight, and flames started trom their blood were used to ignite brands which were placed, burning, in the temples. It is estinated that at le 500 human beings were sacriticed year- 1y in Mexican templ Dr. Adler then spoke of thy et quite nprouted, that 1 munan happiness, and of t of anticipating mi some precious objeet. spoke of .the sacrifice referring ta the ifice among the gacrifice of Jephtha's daughter to David’s sacrifice of the sons of Sanl. * We find . in the Bible,” he continued, “explicit com- mands that no devoted beinsr shall go free, but shall surely be sacrificed. After human sacrifice came that of animals. Another formn of this usage was the_mutilation and dismemberment of the body, designed to show that the person thus mutilated really belonged to God and was allowed to live by His me) This was very comion. Among the Indidus it is the customn of the young braves to cut off joints of their fiu- gers to conciliate the gods. The soalled rite of the covenant, which is kept to this day by the Jews. owes its origin to this, notwithstanding the many modern and ingenious explanations given of it. Taken as a rcligious usage, it is siraply barbarous I itself and utterly barbarous aud contemptible in its origin. [Aug e, It isonzof those superstitivns which diserace the very name of religion, and if ail those who prac- ticé it but kuew its origin it surely would not continue.” (Loud applause.] TIn conclusion, Dr. Adler suid: * The old idol- atry still rears its head, the wrathful, vain, and veneetul zod is still preacheds we have not yet overcome the age of burbarism. The masses, the rabble,—ay¢, the rich rabble and the poor rabble;—are silll steeped in ignorance and £ross- ness, more like brutes than men. To help these, 1o give them the hand of aid aud support, is no unworthy task. If not we, who sialldoitt If not now when the hour calls, when shall the deed be done! Let us not abandon the enjoy- ment of life, our ills we will bear like men—in sflence. What the law without communds we will obey, what the law within teaches we will fulfill, that we may be pure with the pure. So sball man grow to the full stature of manhood, and stand, at last, uplifted. zod-like, himsell divine, and sec in the distance an ever-nearer golden zoal of which the dx;c:nmers dreamed, of which the prophets spoke.” SWING ON BEECHER. AN OPINIOX OF THE LATTER'S TOUR.

THE CHURCH IN GENERAL. ‘The Sunday-School Times gives the following as the Sunday-school statistics of Holland: Schools, 800; teachers, 2,470; scholars, 75,000, Father Chiniquy announces that * during the past few weeks not less than 220”7 French Canadianhs have left the Roman Catholie Church and become Protestants. ‘e TRIBUNE desires to ackpowledge the re- ceipt of the files for 1875 and 1876 of the Labor of Love, an excellent Sabbath-school paper published by Edwin A. Wilson, of Springfield, i i A second convention of Christian workers among the Chinese will be held this month in San Francisco. 7The net gain of Chinese fn the whole State of California in 1875 was 8,425, while the net gain to the population by immi- gration from all countries was 35,000. The nct gain to the State in ten years from all arrivals was 301,700; from China, 70,500. The Rev. Dr. Ryerson writes from London that Lie has been most favorably impressed with one feature of the public worship which be ob- served in all the churches,—Anglican, Wesley- ans, Baptists, and Congregationalists,—which was “a silent prayer after the benediction, so solemnizing and impressive to the wind and beart, as the Just act of worship in the house of God.” He mentions the custom in coutrast with congregations who are in the habit of jumping up and bastening their preparations for departure at the very moment, and sometines before. the minister pronounces the final “ Amen.” st. John's Reformed Episcopal Church, which was organized at Oakland on the 10th_in: seems to be making good progress. The Vestry have devided to call o Rector atonce, and have Ieased the Congregational Church on Oakwood boulevard until Easter. A Sunday-schoul of about eighty scholars is already in successful operation, the Superintendent being Mr. A. W. Brigrgs, who until fately has held the same posi- tion in St. Murk’s Protestant Episcopal Church. Last Sunday afternoon every seat in the church was occupied. The new pardsh being situated in such a rapidly growing portion of the city caunot fail to become, with proper management, ere long a powerful organization. The Rev. Dr. Schaff, in writing from Geneva, Switzerland, concernina the approaching mect- icg of the Pan-Presbyterian Council, suggests some difficulties in the way of securing proj delegates from the various nationsd and §tate churches. Ore difficulty is their close connec- tion with the Civil Governmeunt, which prevents them from acting independently, and another is on account of the rationalistic tendencies of these churciies, whose delegates migut defeat the very object of the meeting. He says that in the very churches founded by Zwing!l and Calvin the old confessions of 1iaith have been abolished, and almost any beresy, as well as or- thodosy, may be openly preached. Efforts have been made to ascertain the pro- portion of children in the Suuday-schouls to the whole number of children in the country of gchool aze. The censys of 170 puts tae num- ber of children in the States and Territories be- tween 5 and 13 yéarsat 12,035,45, while the Sun- Mool scholars in forty-seven States and i ,700. Soite of these are no cars and others over 18 years. There are in the whole country 69,571 Sunday- echools and 753,060 officers and teachers. These statistics do_mot, however, include Catholic schools. Estimating liberally for these it ap- pears that not more than 50 per cent of the children of school aze in the United States re- ceive Sunday-school instruction.

What has broken loose in Indianapolis? When the Second called the Rev. William Atvin Barrett, we inwardly reflected that they had not only goue into the Congregational “cane-break, but nearly across it, before selecting the tall, straight fish-pole that suited the waters and trout of the, Wabash—as they understood it. But the First has gone further and fared—we shall sec. Right past Chin‘:fio they went, and past Chicago Con- gregationalism, and cat a taller pole in the per- son of the Rev. Myron Recd, of Milwaukee. In the dim distance of 1540 there was o mystery to our infantile eyes in a patriotic town in Ohio. At two corners of the *‘public square” were lying two wondcrously long foles. and at the small end of cach was a very long picce of red aud white cloth, with spelling- book Ietters on it. We afterwards came to. the degree of learning which enabled us to know that onc streamer read, *‘ Marty Van of Kinder- kook,"” and the other, © Old Tippecanoe.™ The ¢ Van ” men wonld go across and look at the Tip " pole, and then splice theirs out & little longer. Then the *Tip ” inen would add an- other splice. We do not know which was the longer when the ralsing day came, when the oxen were roasted and the brass bands played: but we do know that both poles broke off and came down with a crash when not half-way up— and kept breaking all day long, though all the blacksmiths and carpenters in the county were working at them.—Jnterior. .
