The Aposties who stvod In euch an {inpressive group around Christ, ecattered their truth not by the fm- pulse of success, but hy the mpulsc of simple faith.

Tu thie times of Herod the (reat, the common people who enrued any money hid to bury it or otheriviso lide ft to escape the Government plunderers. ‘The tombs of the Hebrew Kines were ransacked by Government, and money and bars of gohd were abstracted, that the political powers of dJerusalem might carry onward thelr wicked Juz- ury. 1t taxed all the penius of the people to find how they vould carn inoney wittout having it stolen from them by the’ Procurators, or Kings, or Tetrarchs of the district. When Herod the tireat died, ho willed to his favorites sums which mako insigniticant the money stolen by the thiuves of New Yurk, or of the New En- gland mill companles. Incredible as it may &eem, the common people arce less ravaged by baudits to-day than they ever havo been in all the historfe past. If one people loss one-twen- tieth of their earnings by all form of fraud, it must be that in despotisms the populace wern robled of a fourth or o hall of all the fruits of Industry,—~robbed until fndustry died frém want of amative. Our land is too highly cducated to bear well its thieves and defaultors, More liznorsney would bring nore bliss. _An old Greek General who abused and cheated his troops defen led himselt by saying that they were glad that he had not cut off their heads. But the difthults with the Amerlean publle Is, they sro educated until they expeet too much, to the happincss of retaining their heads they dealro to add the vleaauro of sceing soma kot use made of puidic and private money. Thus the progress of culture may be the equal progress of disap- polutment. 4 We uro too enlightencdd to be robbed patient- 1y, Let us return to the more sulier view of thecase.

Thero was no more pittable exhibition of weakuess and - folly than when a man attempted in marble or canvas Lo dispiay his own form and features go bubliely that contemporaries and posterity were com- vetied to behold Lis memordal of himself, In an Amerfean clty was a statue commemorating n man whose suceess in gathering riches highest title to fame. But {t did not inspire veneration when one reealled tho fact that he causeit it to be erected there in bis own lifetime. The faco of Louls XIV. lovked from the fres- Ilmfl, painted pancls, ond carved bas- of the palace of Vesailies, But visitors expressed notbing but irrepressitle contempt when they kacw that those pictures were only the ineana fn which n tyrant, drunk with vanity, sought to immortalize his namie, Cato said: [ had rather that wen would ssk why Cato hus nut o mouument than why he has one” Thego were days which wera nonu- mental, They recalled “some event which hid such a profound lmportance as to give it place In history. With these days, as with other monuments, value depended upon purpose. [t George Washington had recommended that his birthday be commemorated, it would have sunk Into oblivion. Theso memorlal days could never bo cetabitshicd for tho ratifieatiun of personal vanity nor Individual smbition, Liko trves, thoy must grow from the sced of great events; or If, like a statue, they aro earved awd set up by human hands, It must_be to glorify some other than tho sculptor. * To- day In glad jubflee,” sald tho speaker, **this chuireh and peoplo sctup a tnemorial of mercy.” Well might tho people of Christ Church ralse tho glad jubilee, for they were out of debt and slavery, and ther was no slavery for n Chris- tian church like the slavery of debt. After fourteen years they had made thelr vxudus, Should they then set up tho day to be o moiument to themselves! Should they carve deep upon b thefr own numesi Rather should thiey humble thetnselvi deep sense of Lheir fallings and inlstaks wuld recognizo the hand of God (n the hich thoy experienced, To those of Clirlst Church yesterday was an event of parlsh history, and it was therofore appropriate that what was sald should bo of a historic charncter, In reviewingz the history of the church, It was well to remember how ft Lecame in debt. Christ Church was on offshoot of Trinity Chureh, which at the time enjoyed apiritual and temporal prosperity under the Kev. Dr, Noali Hunt Behenck, —Its houso of worship was on Madisun street, Just west of Clark strect—a large, cruciforin wooden building, 'The toresight of the pastor led him to rocognize tho reglon ot the present Chirist Chureh “(called * Carville,” from proximity to the car-shops) asa polnt where rapid growth might oceur, awd, in tho suminer of 1858, Ur. Schenek begun o serles of Sunday afterncon rervices fn an ofd schoot-house near the vorner of Indlana uvenue and_Ringgold place (now ‘I'wenty-second street). But Dr, Schenck’s work was not the flrat, for In 1805 the Rev. Charles V. Kelly had neld scrvices, guthered o congres gatlon, nnd obtalned the consent of Bishop Whitehouse to the organization of a parish. The application to the Bishop was by a potition sizned by thirty-six nersons, of whom only five or six Dave heen connected with the varish {u the lust eighteen years, and of whom only three are now members of the church, Dr, Kelly persevercd for about o year and then relinquisbed his olforts, 8o that when Dr. Behenck's work was begun thero was a mere shull of o garm-h(nl vn.'knlllzntlnn to work upon, In July, 1359, the speaker had first visited Chi- eago. Ho was invited to ofticlato two Sundays In Christ Churct, Ile had sotno dificulty in tinding the place, for It was then unkuown suiong tho veclesfastieal organizutions of thy «ity, und the bullding itsell wus o tiny wooden structure, bat amply large for the thirty or forty peesons who mude up thoe congregation, Stx” months later, in March, 15, Lhe speaker hod become tho Rector “of Christ Church, and shortly afterwards the Mitlo church bulld- ing was enlarged to seat 250 people. Tho cost of the work was subscribed, and tho church kept out of debt. The 20th ot Febnlnr{ 1o, waa the turplng polut in the churel .]nlnry. ‘That night the church editlee was destroyed by fire. 'I'ho Vestry took fmmetiate steps to re- place it by o better editice. Tho first lden was to build of wowd to seat 500 nudple, but o mem- ber of tho congregation, o contractor, offered to replace the ulid bulldlug with uno of stone at so small an {ncreaso that ft was declded to spend 15,000 In that way. QOn account of the finan- cfal depression common throurhout the country the contractor falled. ‘I'ho church borrowed more money for uim, and he proceeded only to fall again, and before the bullding had been flntshed $10,000 had been ex- pended for . Tho firat service was held in tho new church, Dee, 17, 1865, Wien, threo years later, another addition wua necessary, another $16,000 was vxpended, Thus was the debt of the chureh created, It was by vartous means dimiuistied, to $30,000, and that was the debt that had recently been wiped out. ‘fo aecom- plish this wiping vut a great work was necessas ry, and fu proportion to the ditfiealties over- cams should bo the rejolelug. The church had had comparatively fow plch nou, but o remark- uble eyuality in financia) standing of its mem- Lers. ‘The speakor conninented upon the financial embarrassnients prevaient at the time chosen for the uudertaking,—a time when cxisted tho most disastrous dupressions n the businuss world that this generation, and perhaps this century, had ever known, Ho aiso referred to the recent Ntigatlons to deprive the church of thelr property.

Hut there wero poritive atatementa with regard to the ascenzfon scsttered ull throueh the Book of Acts and the epistics, from which liberal cltations were made. Corlal’s nscension was uecessary to the completion of His ntoning work. Ifad Ho not ascended, He must have dled Lwice, and death would fiok have been swatlowed up in victory, and thers would have been nogift of the iloly Ghost. Tut the nscension ronnded out the circle of His divine mieaton, and rendered ft glorlous and complete, In the asccnsion humanity becaing elorlfied, and Christ became the first fruits of them that siept. ‘The preacher s.vhmlnalv de- scribedd the nscenslon, and allowed his linagina- tion to plcture tho glorlous recentinn which Christ must have meton hisre-entering Heaven, There were valuable truths to bo learned from the nscension, Tho Lamb, _sitting on the right hand of God the Fathér, was o prophecy that IHis truth muast have prouress, and that the time must coine when e shail refzn vietorious, King of Kings, and Lord of Lords. What comfort in the thought of the Lamb, sitting at the flw‘{lhunq of tod, to Chirlstians in despondoncy! By the ascension Christians beeamne apostles of royal authority. As Petor hat been ashamed of hLis Lord In the hour of trlnl, 80 there were believers to-day who were ashained to stand up and speak for the King of Kings. The world might’ call Him a mere teacher of muorals, but He was at the richt hand of Uud, and neither earth nor Hell could detbrono Him, Every beliover tn Christ was the ambassador of n ‘King, With him there was perfect sccurity at tho thought that tho everlasting arms were beneath him, and, It Chrlstians would always turn their eyes to tho throne, discouragement would never vome, and the thought of death would bave no terrors, The sscenslon localized Heaven. Chriat’s language would bo wholly unineaning it Heaven was to bon almluwf'. nystical state, us sotng fmagined ft to be, But, ‘In the full light of the Master's words, the concluslon was forced that, as there hos heen a definite, visible, tangible departure from the shores of Thine, there bad also veen a deflnite, visible, tangible L\ndlmi’un the shores of Eternity. Al who wonld bellove in Chirlst were to have an oppor- tunits to belleve, and when all had had that opportunity, and tho Gospel tidings had been proclalmed, and every eye had been directod to Jesus, then, 08 the preacher nterpreted sm[n- ure, Ie woulil come and put His encniles under s fect, Iiis comine wounld be sudden, like that of the thief In the night, To believers it would be a Joytul day, but, to Gol's encmlcs it wuuld bo u tiy of terrurs. ‘The lesson tor all was to watch and pray, that the Loed, when Ito came, might find {lls servauts doing.

That tendoncy he deprecated, and, after debaling the ques- tlon with himsclf for a long thwme, ke camo to tho conclusion that the only lezitimate tning for him ta do was to withdraw frowm the Chureli. Inthe Reformied branch he could flnd all that he asn strict churchman could want, and he had declded to ive In his adberence to that movement, The announcement took his con- gregation by surpriso, although It was known that ho was iiot in sympathy with the Kitualistic clement of the Church, e hud previvusly ox- pressed his purpose to reslgn ns pastor.

Mrs. Tilton's confession—thut is to say, the fast onc which sl has tade up to the present dato—is nnturally regarded by Mr. Heecher'y udherents as nearly cquivalent to completa vindication of the Plymouth preacher. 1n most cases, when a wif accused of adultery confesses that he and lier alleged poramour are eulity, such a conlession 18 recarded as an ovidence of gullte Everybody knows, however, that the ordinary laws of evidence “have no napplication 19 31r. Becelicr’s case, and that the stronger the evidence ngatnst him moy appear the more clearly it proves lils Innocence. “The exxlnnnunu ot the pecullar way in which the friends of Mr, Beecher regard the esldenca brought agaiust Lim is very simole, It is as. sumed that it {s lmruulblu for MIr, Beecher to do wrong, and that all accusations made agaiost him ure necessarily fulse. ‘Tho more direct and rruhnnln these accusations may be, the greater ¢ thefr falaity, anu, henco, the mors readil sliould they be disbelloved.

Thon, Mr, Beecher's letters, in wich hio npparently confessed his gulll over and over apain, added still more to the evidence agalost I, thus increasing the cubie dimensfons of its wmundacity and rendering it still more casy of disbellet. Finally, Mras, Tilton hersclf publishes a letter of contesslon, whercupon the evidence aguiust Mr. Beccher becomes so overwhelming that it almoat conclusively demonstrates his e uvcence, Just as, gccording to sclentitlc per- sons, tho nttraction of gravitation varies lo- vetrsely as tho square of tho distance, o, accords i to' Plymouth people, the welzht of the en- dence ugainst Mr, Beechier varies inversely us its magnitude, In fact, thc{ conshler that bis m;xo‘.i-;ncu is proved not only legally but scien- cally. 10 these circumatances it Is uatural that 3lss.
