THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: MONDAY, AUGUS 20, 1877. RELIGIOU An Ancient but Timely Discourse --=""Pay Your Debts." A Vigorous Pulpit Exhortation in Favor of “Poor Richard.” Last Sal;mon of the Rev, L, T, Cham- berlain---All Things Through Christ, Maj. Cole Preaches on Gospel Temperance, TAY YOUR! DEBTS. o AN OLD-PASTHIONED SERMON. There were turned in Lo a paper-nill man the other day a number of old sermons preached during the close of the last century and the bo- ginning of the present one by the Rev. Mr, Un- derwood, a Congregational minister who offl- clated at Dennls, Yormouth, and other places in Eastern Massachusetts, Some of them wers tent 1o Tne Tranuse by thelr new owner, he thinking that during this vacatfon-season, when the ledding ministers are by the sca or Jin the mountalns, people mizht like to read some of the plain talk of other days. Iere Is a specl- men: Qe no man anything but Lo love one another, — Romand, xiil., 8, In my former discourse from these words I lald befare you the duty of paying debts, to- gether with the evila which altend. the negleet of It, hoth as they rezard the debtor and the creditor: the evils totho deblor of belnx Im- posed on eltherus to the value or quantity of what lie received on trust, and thus exposing timself to incvitablo ruln; to the creditor, the delay of payment In duc time draws endlcss evils and {nconvenlences after it,—los8 of tine, trade, and credit, and, in consequence of thesc, it may be, Inevitable and complicated ruin, I now proceed make some applica- tign of what has _been - suggested t4 nll orders and degrces of ~men #vho allow themselves fn the neglect of this duty, And firat, let me again ask_the thought- Joss'spendthr:ft what can bo the consequence ot running fu debt with all who will trust him bue utter nitln to himself and others! 1 tho per- aan3 with whom yott deal are honest and {indl- gent, how can you answer It to your bumanity to bring miscry and destruction” on the most pitiablo and deserving of the human ‘race,~to destroy thoss by your expenses which eyen eruelty and tyrany ivould be tender off And, what 18 most provoking and fnsuifcrable fa, that *those who allow themselves In this conduct olten passon the world under tho character of gooc-natured nien, and you will often hear It anid that such an one I3 an encmy o nonc but Limnself, but the real trath s, that a viclous man, whatever he may be in his intentions, 18 in effect an enemy to the soclety fn which he lives. And “more partieularly a viclous ood-natura §s oue of the crueleat choracters in fe. It is kind only when it ought not to be. 1t Is kind to every cvil and cvery villainy, Itis indulgent to everything but honesty and Inno- cence, and those It is sure to sacrifice. A good- natured villaln will surfelt o sot and gorgen eiutton. - Nay, will glut his horses and his dogs with that foo for which the vendors mnet onc 'day ftarve to death in a prison. A good-na- «tured monster will ho gay in the epolls of widows and orphans. Good-nature separated +from virtus {s one of the worst characiers in human life. And, ergo, If you bave any pro- tense to good-nature, puy your debts; and, In sa doing, you will not only do good to, others .{z‘yyour honcsty, hut infinite g toyourselyes. ‘Taying debts fs, next tothe grace of God, the ‘best meaus to deliver you from o thousand 1emptations to ein and Tolly, and perhaps the only means of iusuring debtors from guilt mod .misery. Pay your dobts, and “you jwil not have much to lose by villalious agamesters. 'av yourdebts. and you will not have wWherewithal to feed an Intemperato sppetite. Zn fine, pay your dcbm?mu you will of nccessity abstain froin mauy fleahly crafts that war azainet the spirit and bring you into captivity to #in, and can scarcely fall toend In destruction botbof soul and body., On thoe other hand, if the men you d:al with and are indebted to are rich and crafty, remember they mpnl{ your ex- travagance With no other view than to make n gain of you, as mon pour water into a pump to Adraw mare from it. Romemher, they could ot “afford to trust you, did the{ not “propose to profit by yourfolly. Remember, also, that time, Wwhich sweetens all other asftlictions, will per- petually sharpen and Inflame this, As the gayety and glddiness of youth goes oll, the wanta of ‘aze will becorno morc sharp and more incon- solable to the lnst duy of life. And, - ergo, the son of S8irach, well advisca: *Be not made a beegar by banaucting upon borrowing, for thou shalt llo fo wait for tliy own life.? Aud, again, lie obsorves that ** fe” that builaeth hls houss with otbier men’s money is liko one that pather- et hlmself,stones for the tomb ol Lis burial, e erccts a aurc monument not onlyof s folly, but of his ruln aleo.” In the noxt place, 1 aoply myself to the man of quality who is gullty of this vice, If you will consider what vou vwe Lo your creditors and how to pay them, consider at least with coolness and calinness what you owe to _yoursclves, to i'ollr family, your country, and your God.

But mettinks It might still bo expected of you that you do common justice, Surely It in{ht still Lo expected that you should lm,\' your dabts anid keep your prombses. And, o"truth, ye would not be yold either of (H%IW or depoudence, I yo did even this, Mankind ore already ton much prejudiced fu your favor, and won!d oot fall to pay you sufticlent n-gm{ aud reverence even If you' dld them no good, proyided you did them no mischief, But if yo expect to be eatcewed not ouly without enerosity, but even without fustice, ye are fo- 5ml unreasonable, and wmuy be sureio be dls- nu}mlntcu. n the next place, Iapply wysell to the more ‘wealthy and covetous. These are, of ail others, the wost fnexcusable In not paving debts, ‘Tuey ‘who have made or improved thelr fortune by industry aru utterly unpardonable in u\)’:unlll;: the ludustry of otliers, ‘The fenst which migzht be expected from fucrease of wealth s todo Justice with our abundauce, This was the ex- press direction of the prophet Ellsbu, 1, Kiugs, chap. {¥.

SERMON DY THE REV, L. T. CIAMPRRLALS, The Rev. L. T, Cliamberlaln, who hes heen pastor of the New England Congregational Church, corner of Dearborn avenue and Dela- ware place, for tho past elzht ycars, preached his last sermon in Chicazo yesterday morning, 48 hie goes Lience soon to Norwlch, Conn,, where be will take charge of another flold. His dls- course was not what could be called a farcwell scrmon, betng a continuation of tbat preached the previous Sunday, with & view of Impressing more foreibly upon the minds of his hearers the Importance of making absolute Curistlan per- fectfon their standard. 111s text was: T can do all thingn (hrough Christ, which strengtheneth me,—PAllipians, fe., 1. The word ‘“can,” He £ald, was apparentl used by Paul not in the mere sensa of possibill- ty, but in somé large degree of actual accom- p{(-hment' and it was siznificant, arter his ex- worience, that he should writo these words of ]lln spiritual siccess. It should bring to our hearts the thought that Paul had somehow found the sccrel of divine strength,—that hn could tell where tho source of power was, and, in the light of it, was pressing ou succesafully to the end which we'souznt. If we would get the most help froin his cxample wo must ask oarselves how it was that ho found strength in Christ, and Dby what mcans Christ gave him id in tho great strugele. It was be- cause l'anl was grateful to Him; and his sense of gratitude for favora grew greater and great- er. This suggested what the Christlan soul owed to Christ. We ehould think of what ITe liad done for ue,—of what we wero before flo came, nud of what Ile had accomplished by brioging us fnto His Kingdam; and as we thoughit of this our hearts should_go out In o Timitiess and thankful devotion. Paul grew in strength the more he grew into the llkencas of Clirist, and found that Hlo was bringligz bless- Joga to bim day by day. Hedeew his inspirae tion from tho present as well as the past. We, too, needed Lo reinforee our past thaukfulucss by t.‘l;:‘ remembrance of the relations it had to us to-day. 5 ‘The Christfan life in the soul would ceass it Christ should withdraw Ilis agency. Bo we shonld bring Him hume to ourselves,—sbould remember that He was an ever-present Savior, When the soul thanked Christ for what 1o was dolng for it now—when it was filled with thank- fulness for the present—it would run back along tho record of benefactions and count oven the carliest a blessing. Paul's eratitude was not of a persoual nature. He was moved by tho thought that Christ had made an atonc- ment not only for him, but for the whole world, Clirist was to Paul o nlmuelulmrly all in all,— the King eternal and wmmortal,” Would not such a conception of Christ be the sourco of might and power to us in qur lifel Would not such constderations of Ilim bear us toward new strength or o new victory when temptations conie, when therofs o plea for the omission of duty? We should think of Cbristas buman and Divine,—trust [lim, and gain a blessing by serving flim, and day by day grow In ilis like- ness. It was Paul’s chierished thought in the duys to come, even in this Life, that ho should ba ablo to gain a better and better victory over evjl. That heart worked succesafully that worked with a wellcherished hope. _‘Therefora Mr. Chamberiain bid his hear- ers to let thelr souls be faithful, with o rudlant lhope.touching the future which the promises of Christ inspired. - Could any one who had such a hope bo content with hinperfections? If per- fection were not our standard, we should never. koow how tnuch of help we needed. It we did not know how great was the end, we should neyer attain it. In conclusion, he urgea all to turn to Christ, and ask -1lim to complote in them His own preclous work, since Iie would not only bo a present joy, but the very contldence and ground of rest at [ast. GOSPEL TEMPERANCE. BERMON DY MAJ COLE. Maj. Cole, tho cvaugellst, preached beforo s goodly audience {n lower Farwell Iall last even- ing on tho subject -of “Gospel Temperance.' The followlnr abstract wil give an Idea of what this celobrated lay preacher had to say on this current toplc, from tho text, ‘Tho Master 1s come and calleth for thee." ‘The trouble with beople was, sald Maj. Cole, that cverybody wanted to Lo his or her own master, and Lo hava his o her own way. To- cause we had all turned to our own way, the Iniquity of us all had to bo Iald on the Son of God, Bomo had followed Batau for thelr master, but ho would venture the assertlon that nobody would stand up aud give him & good character. They could testify that Jesus was a good master, but they couldn't speak 8o favorably of Satan. Wouldn't all who could so testify stand up? Nearly Lho whole audlence was on its fect, und the Major acknowl- edged lls thianks. 1o then weat on to quote Christ's words to the effect that no man could scrye two masters. Would anybody stand up, it they were serving Butan, aud so. sigolfy that fact] NOBODY 5TOOD. UF, ‘*All of hla servants are ashamed of him, any way,"! was the way the Mujor put it, *und thoy wouldn't confess him for anything." Tho comine of Chalst, the sfim\l Muater, he contin- ued, bad been Lorulided by propbets and angels, and here were wituosaes o testify that He had come into thelr hearts. - An lifidel had onco confessed to him that, even If religion was a| humbug, his wife hod shown more sense than ho hud, for sbe had mee cepted * Christ and had peaco from that moment oo. And finully that Infidel resolved to waln that peace whith paseeth sll understanding, 1ow gomfortiug the thought that thoso for whom the Master was calling were the mourners! The mournivg sisters of Lazarua bad responded to this call, and, while at tirst dlsposed to rebuke the Lord for thelr broth- er's death, fnally acknowledged their- faith in lin, and thelr lellef In His power; and thelr Lrather, at the Master's words, came forth from the grave, bound band und foot In graye-clothes, Chirist bad called Lazarus from the gruve, and Ho was now calling on the mourners to oc- cept him and huve peace. What o blessed Guspel that addreased itsclf to the mourners and gave a promise of reunfon o the world beyond! Hu was also catling for luborers. A great many workiugiuen thought they had to work too burd. Jeaus Christ, the great work- inemun of the world, knew how to sympathize with then, Ho was Muster fn. whose employ it waa never nccassary to strike, Christ was also calling tho busiuess men, as he hud called Zaccheus, and even the Jawyers wers belng in- vited and urged to come, The othier dsy the speaker heard o man on the DBoard of rade tulking to spother about Chrlst, for of which be thauked (od, — Christ was calling for the poor, the outcasts, the duwn- trodden, us ho bad called the poor lepers of old. He was even calling for the backsliders, and hungry sod thirsty ones. 'The fuvitatlon was now, s it ever had been, * Whosoever will, let Lim vowe sud take ol the water of Jifo freely.” 1le was callng fur everybody in this world: Ho was calling fur the drunkard, In tho sudience the speaker gaw one who last winter was wal- lowing fo the flth aud the mire, but who had been reclalnied, was bow oceup Inz alucrative position, and was reuntted with bLis family, Yoved sud respected by sll who koew biw, He had once met” a drunkard who refused to believo the Uospel would save bim, and when the speaker read to him Cbrist’s precious promises, aud msked the wan to Jet bim pray for hiti, the dsuukard sulleuly nlnll ut it won't do any good.” ‘The Major kuceled down with the man, bis wife, and the little child, and praved with great fervor, while be could feel tho mnan's hot tears {al! on iy hand, and hear bt sob_out, “Oh, (iod, eave the worst man in Hyde Park.” He bad becn & very bud one, baviug once gone so far as to tbreaten to kill bls wile unless she gave him wmoncy for drink, but he finally camo out all right, to the unspeakable joy of that wifo and cald. Tho drunksrd had been redeemed by the blood of Christ. Inthe wife's uratitude sLe bad vawied « littis boy, who had dawued oa the world but a fow duys ago, “Mafor,” and the speaker re- could he shown him.

Epecial Correspandence of The Tribune, Astonia, Ore., July 20,—A person whose anatomy has withstood the shock of sca-slek- nese, and who §s unused Lo its nutseating Intlu- ence, finds that the rugeed coast from Sun Fran- claco to the mouth of the Columbla River, with its prevalling blasts from the: northwest, te suf- fceutiy trying to his best eudurauce; and, to those unniquainted with tumultnous seas, it nieans & deathlike prostration of several days. On reaching the mouth of the Columbia, one is Impressed with fta grent breadth and beauty. A white Jine of fosm Indicates the bar which bas 1o be crossed hefore the river s entered, This Dbar has been the canse of some detraction from the press, but In reality its statistics show less cause for complalot than any of the similar Lar- bor-gntrances on our coasls. But two actual wrecks have occurred on it, ana they were oce caaloned, in reality, through the lack of proper ilotage. On the right, ns you enter the river, the land is low and sandy: but, on the left, where the lghthousc {s located, it rises abruptly from the water's edge 200 feet; while on both sides, at a little distance, the undulating forms of high and wooded hills contrast pleasingly with the ligher mountalns still further back. Baddle Mountain, on the rient (so named from the per- feet form of the saddle at its summit), Is very conapleuous, and notewerthy for the excellent clk-hunting In its immediste viclnity. Directly in front of you, on a clenr day, the sliadowy suninit _of” Mount St. Ilelens rises domeliko io the distance. The lighthouse 1 huve referred 1o I8 first-class fn all its appolutments.

Not to be misled by this supposition, Capt. Gray entered the river in 1702, with the nobic ship Columbla, and, through his persist ent cfforts, was ennbled to make a chia? of tho river as tar upas 100miles from itamouth. Up to 1853 the north chanuel was the only one used by vessels zoing In and out of the river's mouth, At about that time it was nscertained that s deeper and broader channel, to the south, of- fered far better facilitica for navization, and, sinco then, what s called the South Channel alone is used, Just before the tinme of the dis- covery of the South Chanuel o man named Whitt conceived the fdea that there was a fing sight for a city along a little cove which indents the Jand just cast of Cape Disappointinent, or Fort Canby; so, withtrue Yonkee cnterprise, he surveyed and lald out what he was plensed’ to call Pacific Cityy and, with the genlus of Col. Bellers himself, he started East and octually succeeded in raising 22,000 on corner-lats, The discovery of South Channcl frustrated his plans, and Pacille City never saw {ts first house. There {s, Lowever, n city immediately adjolning {t, which descrves n Puulng note. It fsatyled Unity City, from the act thot It contained but a sinle Louse. Tho inhabitants contemplated chaoging the name to Trinity City when three houses should be crect- od; but, ‘unfortumtely, a speculator buflt several onses on a yenturs, and that brilliant idea was dispelled. bout threa miles from tho mouth of the river proper, on the rigzhit bank as you ascend, the thrifty little Clty of Astorla nestles about o small projection ol land whichgnee bore the namo of Polut George, In honor of his Britannic Majesty, George the Thinl. Astoria to-day s the llving succestion of John Jacob Astor's great dream to settle this Northwestern wilds, and thereny enrich and oxtend tho bounds of the Republle. 1t is nothing new, but in' this counection may prove Interestivg, to stato that Wis ULroad and comprehensive scheme was to unationalize the fur-trade, and control that of the Pacitic Blope aud middle continent, by establishluz a prominent trad- Ing-post at the mouth of the Columbia River, to bu connected with the basea of supplics on the Atlautle by nscrics of minor posts extending ncroas the continent. It was the fntentlon year- 1y to dispatch o vessel from New York, {aden with articles of Tndian traflic, to the leading post, which should have gathered together from the Intermediate posts the peltrics obtal from the Indlans. Btorcd with these peltries, the vessel was to proceed to China, where they could be most nd\‘nnt:f:caml&mlu. and finally return home with the rich_ eifk goods and other valuable commoditics of China. Thedlsastrous rosults of this grand undertaking are a matter of history; but Astorta will always be a memo- rial of the comnercial genlus after whom it was named, and, as it grows In importance, o will is charucter be lifted up for contemplation ref i © ot fi!le years, Astoria has come more con- spleuously ” before the country on account of the . malmon-fisheries of tho, Co- lumbla. Could Old England have sur- mised, at tbe timo of the adjustment o{mnkonhwcnernbnundnry ucstlon, the great treasuro she was ceding to tho United Htates in theso salmon-fisherics, it Is reasonable to supposo she would havo used far more strenu. ons diplomatic ctforts towards the retention of this territory than she did, as stubborn aa she was, Tids would apear the moro rcasonablo inasmuch s England to-day takes mioro than half tho catch of salmon from this rerion, In- deed, with ter colonles in Australla, New Zea- land, and Dritish Colutubia, it {s safe to ailirm that sho cousumes two-thinds of tho entire catch. Now, however, the shrowd and enter- Erlslng Yankee reaps the profit of this immense usiness, which, duriug the past six years, {s valued at u‘unimn sonually, From the year’ 1871 to 1875, Inclusive, the fucrease In tho cateh of salmon was about in proportion to tho In- crenss fn flahing facilitlcs. <JIn 1875 the max- Jmum of the catch was reached, Thore wore 200 boats flshlug in the vicnity of Aastoria that year, euch boat averaging 100 sal- mon per night, which were caught with a net only 123 fathoms long, 1a 1870 there wero 400 Louts, cach uslug a 200-futhom uet, and thoy averaged but fifty-five salmon nightly, Tho Dresont year, 850 boats are employed io flshing, Wwith nets 35 fathoms long, and, up to the rrflcnl time, twenty-five salinon have been thelr hest nightly average per boat. ‘This Indicates a decrease In the run cf fish, and presagen the uttl- mato exhaustion of the fisheries, unless deculed stops be immediately tlkc? for replenishing the river, Anassoclation of feading citizons was formed lust year with this ldea in view, and suly- scriptions to tho amount of s‘.‘uima and upwanls wero obtalned. The services of Prof. L. Htone, ot the Unlted States Fish Cominission, were sce cured, and for the past six or seven weeks that xentlewnan has been Indefatigable in his search for suitable grounds to cetablish & hatchiog- station.

Cricaco, Aug. 13.~8luce last writing 1o you on thls subject, Tain glad to flud, from Inter- vlews with several of our cltizens, that the hu- mane project of afding Russia in hef present atruggle with Turkey receives a most favorahle degree of encouragement in this city. Tlcre are a Jarge number of Chicagoans who think the most efficacious means America conld em- ploy to show its sympathy for Russig would be to cquip and fit out a well-organized ambplance- torps, such as England has now {n the tield on behulf of Turkey, oruslrelund furnlshied France fu her late war with Uerinaoy. At smy rate, something ought to be done by America to show that ahe Is not Indifferent to suffedug humani- ty, and that ahe {s not ungrateful for the fricnd- ship manifesteil by Russia towards this country during the period of our Civil War,andnt a time, too, when England was employine every means that money or stratery conld suzgest to make the Kcbelllon a permancnt disaster to America. In the present conflict, whero, Russia s dofng holy work, and with all her power trying to save and emancipate puor, oppressed, but forgotten Clirfatlans, the American people must not be Indifferent to suffering bumanits,—to the sick und wounded. When England has her ambu- lance-train In Turkey, why & it that America does not help the defenders of Chirlstiunity, and her fricuds, the Russians? Since the war comenced, there have been terrible battles, in which hundreds of lives wera lost, and sick and woutided Yt‘flnln were deserted and left upon she battle-fields. Thelr cries for hetp and iercy were In valu, and speedy death waa tle best frierid they haa, It was horrible to look at thew as they were lving on the eround without any help. The sammer-auu, withita hot rays, was almost rousting their wounde. ‘They hiad no friends, no tender hand thut would wash them, or care for then, or eventogive then & coollug drink—the last blessing to the dylng men. Humanlty stood appalled at the sighit; yel oftentimes there was 10 help for the suffering wounded but the grase, Here is asplendid chance for the American ‘)quplc, and thiere Is aglorious work before them, \What a blessing would it be to them to see the tears of gratitude in the eyes of the oppressed Christlan’ people of European Turkey!

Une hesltatingly, I answered no; a lody never drags adress In the dirt, bo it lu street, store, or auy othier ptece. Dirt and ladyhood are absolutely incompatible, and as a lady cannot trafl her skirta without getting them dirty, the question Is casily answered. The fustincts of truc deli- cacy forbid all contact with *the earth earthy ™ in the form of sofica draperies. There are morals—and worals, and of the Intellectual miorality of a dirty lady I eutertaiu a most de- clued oplulon.
