THE NEW PASTOR OF PLYNOUTIL 20 the Editor of The Trivune. BROOELYN, Feb. 25.—I had an interview with the Rev. Charles Hall Everest, who pest Sab- bath morning. will occupy the pulpit of Plymonth Church fn yourcity. . I met Mr. Everest on the front steps of bis elegant brown-stone-front residence, he ascend- jug the steps just « mivute or two after I had Fung the door bell. 3 1n private life Mr. Everest has very little of tbe ministerial Jook. He is probably in the neighborhood of 35 vears of age, and hasa well- proportioned figure, which, however, is not. dis- piayed to any advantage by the loose-fitting cut- away ccat which be wears habltually when in he pulpit. Mr. Everest is about six feet in beight, and is us straight as an arrow.. His Dair, which is slightly tinged with gray, is worn Jong, and curls slightly at the end. lHis eyes are of a deep hazel color, and when in dose conversation with lim a slight st may be observed in ome of hem. - This, however, far from being a detect, rather adds a charm of cunning to his expression which is notdispleasing, Ais mouth, which fs0f agood size thoughnot large, concealed by a Leavy, dark-brown musiache, and this maunly appendage, though it adds somewhat to his appesrance, hides the pleasant smile which is oue of the chiel uttractions of the man: . 3 To talk with aman like the new -pastor of Piymeuth for sny lensthof time cannot but make one feel brizhter, for I never met o man who lad a strouger, brighter faith, and a more concise uud cizeering way of speaking of trouble ana rrials. ! ing the door after a hearty band-shake, Everest invited your correspondent to «otei. ‘The whole lhiouse was _in disorder, pre- paretory to the packing up and removal of - bis Turniture t his pew home n your city, and the eation took place in the hall.

THE SECOND DAY’S SESSION of the Cook County Sunday-School Coavention commenced in Lower Farwell Hall yesterday morning at 10 o'clozk. The attendance was very light at the operin:, but the room partially filled up during the forenoon: After devotiopal exercises, including prager, singing, and {he reading of 2 portion of Scripture, the President, Dr. Blackall, called up the special order “Township Work."” Mr. E. P. Porter said that out of the 1,500 townships in Illinois, 1,020 were organized for Sunday-school work. The State aml County Conventions had been of great sesvice in stimu- lating Sunday-s5chool scholars and teachers to re- newed efforts. The first necessity was to sur- vey thefleld; second, to stimulate the workers; third, to instruet each otuer jn the Scriptures; and, fourth, devotional exercises aud sociul fu- tercourse.” The reason they could not find 2 hall in IMinois large enough for the State Couven- tion was because- they had done mucl with the open Bible. Aud sethehad seen in Illnois Sundag-schools which were prayerless. In con- clusion, be called the attention of the Conven- field Conzress, which be had prepared. He trusted that Ly the blessing of God the work might go on in prosperi| Thesubject of - School-Work ™ was then calied up, and Mr. W. P. Jucobs, Superintendent of the Sixth Preshyterian school, furnished an acconnt of -the work. There they had an uverage - teudance of 250 in- the adult and 100 in the vrimary department. The children had become greatly interested in the school, and had pushed the teachers along. Also, they had brought heir parents to the chureh, and on New-Year's Day eighty-two were udded. He believed that oné of the reasous for the interest felt by the children was that the Superintendent and teachers took pains to acquaint themselves with the names of their scholarsand to identify them- selves with the school. He did uot vary the wark much, for be believed childroy liked what they werc used to. The scliool hud increased one-third daring the year, and the averaze attendapee was neardy up to the total enrolied. The services lasted an hour and a Dialf, the lesson taking up thirty-five minutes. They hiad thought of dropping out the singing altogether, as tney had 10 _one comnetent to Jead it properly. The weekly niectine of teach- ers for examination of the lesson had recently ‘Dbeen resumed. Mr.d. AL Hitcheock, of the Chicazo-Avenue Sunduy-Scliool (Moody’s), said he wished he could give them an accurate photograph of the school. Most schools were ullshouts of some church, bur in this case the sghool preceded tie church several years. were moW in 8 tramsition €y having started 45 a ragged schopl, but Bow in- cluded a Jarge number of scholars of a better class, Jlree weeks ago last Sunday they had an artendance of 1,20, the average being 975 OI this total, 35 per cent were adults, 23 per cent in the primiary, and 0 per cent in the intermediate class. The proportion of adults to part with it even for mone; the Levitical law which forbade the alienation of bis inheritance., Then Ahab acted like a spoiled childi and turned his face to the wall, [is wilc, Queen Jezebel, who really ruled the Kingdom, promised "Ahab that he should have the vine- ters to th 10 pros i 10 testify that Naboth had blaspliemed God aud tor, | the pleading get possession ol it slic wrote let- Iders of the people, 'directing them 2itn 2 fast and to obtain false witnesses In order the King.

Naboth Deing tius -out’ of the ‘way, messengars werc sent toJezebel informing her of what Had becn done, and Ahab went - down to take possession of his fll-acquired property. It wasa eurious thing that thiswas the first instance recorded in the Bible of a letter written by a woman. Some commentators had compared Jezebel with Lady ,\lacbclh‘s.n but _thle suenkeri ¢:1‘I:1 not think the comparison strictly appropriate. When Abab reachied the vineard he found Flijah there waiting to_upbraid him for his crime. Ahab said, *‘last . thou found me, mine enewy# _and the | prophet replied with the - dreadful warning of punishment which awaited. the wicked woman who bl caused murder to be done. Aliab, by taking possession of the vineyard, con- stituted himsell au accomplic “Yield not to temptation ” wus thén sung by the congregation, after whieh discussion on the lesson was Solicited. . One teasher said he thought a great question was 1% to the ‘relations which existed between Ababand his wife. He considered it awful example 1o set before Christians who ricd or intended to marry people of the world. ; “the Rev. E. P. Wells said this was an in- stanve of fhe perversion of Jaw and order to y.out the imperious behests of an evil- ded woman. Ababbad no plezsure in the pos- session of the vineyard soobtained. Elijah w: ot the King’s enetny, but Jezebel was, and ber fate allorded an awral lesson. The Rev. R. D. She the rocks on which childhood was wreclked was covetousness. 'This story was a solemn warning ainst that sin. Lab coveted and fell iiito sin.. Once admilting covetousness into his heart, he soon found unscrupulous instrumen 1o carry out his will. Toe children should be warned aguinst this deadly sin, and should be told that when they got possession of whut they wanted they would bave no comiort in it. The Rev. Mr. Farrell wished to second the re- marks of the last speaker. Pérjury and murder were the natural outgrowths of-this first crime of Ahab's. K Anotlier speaker considered that the deceit practiced by Jezebel in using the King's seal a point to be dwelt upon. They must take carc not to be misled by any teachings which were not. from God. “Hold the Fort" followed, after which Mr. Spafford remarked that people fell into s by neglecting God. Jezebel forgot all about Gol and utterly ignored consequeriees, The punish- tnent which fell upon Ahab and his Queen show- ed the wonderful superintending pover of God. A gentlemen in the. audience sent up an in- i o whether the profi!lcc_r in resard to of Jezebel was fullilled, Naboth being Killed in Jezreel, while Jezebel was thrown from a window in Swnaria. Mr. Jacobs replied that the son_of Ahab was thrown into the very spot Naboth was murdered, and that the dogs s blood there, thus doubly fultilling the prophecy. A few remarks were made by’ ex-Ald. Mont- gomery aud some athers, and the teeting closed h prayer by Mr. Joln V. Farwell. A special feature of Mr, Farwell’s petition was the refer- ence made to the assumption of the Presidency be Gov. Hayes, for whom the guidance of tle Almighty in bis new Jabors was Solicited. MAJ. WHITTLE. DCBLQUE. Spectal Correspondence of The Tridune. DusutQuE, March 2. t the farewell meeting Jast evening Maj. Whittle was greeted by a largze and attentive audience. The services were begun 3 iz that grand hymn “All bail tne power of Jesus’ wame.” Prayer Wwas then offered, and Prof. McGranabian sang **Oh to be nothing” with sweetness and feeling. The Major then took for his text the thind verse of thesixth chapter of Genesis: ** My Spirit shallnot ulwaysstrive with men.”. Aftera very cloquent sermoun, short, sharp, auddécis- ive, he was notified tbat he had, it time to catch the train, and conscerertd his leave-tak- jug was hurried “olist before the close Mr, M- cginpose the third or highest heaved, are in that Divine principle whicit proceeds from the Lord, that s called celestial, for they are n_the g of love from the Lord; the anirels of the Lord’s spiritnal kingdom, wbo compose the second or is_a truly Divine style, with which ‘1o other stylc, however snblime apd excellent it may seem, Is at all comparable, for it is as dark: ness compured to light. The style of the Word is of such a nature us to cou‘ain what is holy in every verse, iu.-every word, and_jn some cases in every letter; and hience the Word conjoias man with the Lord, and opens Heaven. There which proceed from th Lon.l’:— what e’ and_Divine Wisdont; o, ame, Divine Good and Divine Trath; Divine Good 1s of Divine Love itsclf, and Divin Truth iz of Divine Wisdom itsetf; aud the Word, inits essence, is both' of these; and inasmuch as it conjoius man with the lLord, and opens Iieaven, 23 Just observed, thersfore the Word fils the man who reads it under the Lord’s in- fluence, and not under the influence of his pro- prinm or_scll, with the good of loveand the truths of awisdom,—his will with the good of love, and his understanding with the truths of wisdom. Ieace mau has life’ by and throuzh the Word, - * Lest, therefore, mankind ehould remain any lonzer in_doubt concerning the disiuity of tiie ‘Word, it has pleased tue Lord to reveal to me its Internal sense, Which in lts essense s spitit- ual, and winch is, to the esternal sense, which js natural, what the soul is to the body. This ¥ life to the letter; wherefore this sense will evince the divinity sud sanetity of the Word, and way con- vizee even the patutal man, i he Is in s dispo- sition to be conviuced.” “he literal sense of the Word is the Basis, Continent, and Firmament of iis Spirizual and Celesttal senses. 1n eversthing divine there is 4 tirst, a middle, and a last, and the first goes through the middle to tie fast, and thus exists and subsists; thence the lasc is the basis. - The first, also, is in the siddle, and, by the middle, in the lest; thus the last is the continent: and, bezause the last Is the con- tinent, and the basis, it is also the firmament. In every complete thing there s a_ trine, which is called first, widdle, and lus r end, cuuse, and effect. Thus every disine work is complete and perfect in the kist, or the edect, because the former are toxether fn it.” ““There are threc licavens, the highest, the middle, and the lowest, The hixhest heaveu makes the celestial Kingdom of the Lord; the middle heaven makes His spirtual Kingdom, and the lowest heaven maices his, natural King- dom. As there are three heavens, s there are tbree scnses of the celestial, the spiritual, and the- natural, which, also, those things coincide which were said above, viz., that the first is in the middle, and, by the middle, in the last; just as the end iz in ihe cause, and, by the cause, is in the effect. Thence,’ it Is manifest what the Word is, viz, that in the sense of its letter, which 1s uataral, there is an interior sense, which is spiritual, and in this an inmost scnse, which is cefestial; and thus that the last sense, which is natural, and is called the sense of the ‘letter; is the continent, and so the busis and tirmament of the bwo inerior senses.” “Hence it may be evident that the Word is the Word itself in its sensc of the letter; forin this interiorly there is spiriz and life. This is what the Lord says: ~ *Ihe words which I speak unto you are spirit and hfe} doin, vi., 63, For the, Lord spoke His words in the natural seuse. The celestial and spiritual senses are not the Word, without the uatural sense, for y are like spirit and lfe, or soul, without a The internal sense of the Word, also, s ul, and the sense of the letter Is its body.” “The spiritual seuse of the Word is uot that which breaks forth as lizht out of the literal sense, whilst a_person is study- ing and cxplaining the Word, with intent 1o establish some partieular tenet of the Church; this sense may be called the literal senscof the Word, but the spiritual sense does not appear in the literal seuse, buing withiu it, asthe soul is i the body, or a3 the thought of pding s in the eye, or us the affec- ¢ countenance, which act to- d eifect. It is this spose, ich renders the Word spiritual, and by which it is adavted not only to the use of men, ut also of angels; whence, :lso, by means of that sense, the Word communicates with the Lieavens.” “From the Lord proceed these principles; the celestial, the spiritual, and the natural, one after another. Whatsoever proceeds from Divine Love is called celestial, and_is Divine Goad; whatsoever proceeds from His Divine Wisdom is called spiritual, and is Divie-r'ruth; the natural partakes - of both, and is their ~corplex in ultimates, The angels -o1” the Celestial Kingdom, who how sins are remitted by it. We can see that the soul'is really washed in it and saved by it. - And we can unaerstand what our Lord meaat ‘when Hg repeated with 560 much emphosis that His blood is drinks indeed, and that we cap have 7o life fn us except by csinking it.
