Church, The at- tendance, considering tha atate of the weather, was very large. ‘I'he reverend gentleman took his text from the sixty-sccond chapter of Isalnh, sixth vorse. He sald that fu days past men did not know what was transpiring in the other parts of the world, This was changed to-day by the rafiroad, telegraph, and the press, which made all men nelghbors. e oxplained that his normon wna o be a sort of outline, from his atandpolnt, of to whera this world was drifting, constdering tho athelsm, ele, of the age, and with them our advanced de- grea ot clivilization. This was nn era o Luman affairs. Ho predicted great changes. ‘There was o breaking away from the old things of the past. e brought up first Rellgion and second State. He alluded to the time when the Church was the supremo master, and what tho Church did tha people accopted, ‘and what tho Church ordered the pesple were dlsposcd to do. Tho Bible then wasaccented,without quus- tion. There was no questton then as to future rowards or Dunishncnts, but tho peo- pie belleved fn Uod, In those days thoe lmws belped rellgtous wovesnment, be- cause tho veoplo then belleved in the Divine right of Kings to rule. Tho speaker beld that it took time to chango this, The world, ha argued, was fast driftiog away from all this, turough the study of materlal philosophy, ile wont on to say that, if this philosophy did not deny tho existenco of a God, it falled to poiut oub’ that there was one, or that there was o futura lite beyond. This doctrine of philosophy vrevailea largely in Germany and England, e showed where Katlonalistu and Posltivelsm were wrow, aud that thoy tuovitably led to fntideiity, ‘The discussions o ‘these questions often cast off dcebate on tlio inspiration of the Bible. "fhfs bud dono wuch to unseitle reliziou. Ho alluded to the auclunt and maodern discus- stons between the Chureh and Science, and tho scurching erlticlams wade upon them, and the demund tade for a new translation of tho Biule. The result of all this was to dispel the tdea of thae peovla of the tofallibility of the Bible. Iic said {t was hard to tol} whai 1tha ef- fect of this would be upon tho people who dlil vot think. It created religious doubt and nistrust among thoso who had belloved in the Churen and the rigts of Kings to rule. ‘There bad comse o large calamity upon virtue aud to the Church, Ha atluded to tho soveral recout church scandals, and safd that thelr cffect was felt cverywhere,—it permeated every factory + nnd workahop In the land, He alluded to tho great defaleations. ‘The lack uf‘virtuo and vatgiotisin in men {n ofllve, he sald, Jed the peo= plo to lose thelr falth fu States, e alluded to the lack of real rellgion abroad, Iu Germany, prouably two-thirds of the peoplo were {efidels, In Loudon thero were pmlmuer 2,000,000 peopls who did not go to churelt was the same caso proportionatelv in Chicago. Tho whole thing lay In the lack of faith In the present mode of religion aud the conduct of the Btate. The Seculars of Eugland, Cunmunists of France, Soclallats ot (ermany, and Nilillste of Ruesla wers all positive orzanizations agatnst rellglon. ‘The teachinga of Ingersoll and Brad- laugh led to atheism, nothing else, Hocredited Mr. Iugersoll with bejug a patriot. Bradlauzh was not, but of amore destructlve character, Boclety was fast drifting to that polut where 1t was to be deelded whether clvilization was pos- sible withous religlon. e held that it was uot. lle riulured most grapblcally the system of tho world were relligion abolisbied, aid men wovs crued merely by their sensa of right and wrong, e pletured what tho world would be wers the beliet in God sbuolished, 1o belleved the crists was ueurer at hand than tho people would be- leve. Itinight not comus in our own time, it mizht never come, but he belloyed it would come unless the tide was checked, Uermang, Franco, aud Englaud were doing thelr best to keep Bociatism sud Comnmunisas down. Whon the time would coma when mon would ceaso to ceust to belleve in God and religion, we would como toa dark perfod. tlo explajued whata State was. The Uovernments were of ol for the peoply, and not for tho benetlt of the rulers, 1o aliuded to tho fact that the justice of the Btates was questloned. ‘That tho impression had gono abroad that.the States legialated rortho benellt of the wenlthy rather than tho mosses, and did not care for the luborivg man. This, he pald, must be dono awny with, and ob- noxluus lawarepealed, Just na lunqnndmnkun men reeled Into the legislative halls, just so long would this injustice prevall, ‘The speaker wanted to sca tho ballot the power above re- grum‘ll. ‘The contest for power should not be ctween a policeman nnd o drunken rowdy at the ballog-box. Unless these things were chunged, ho did not know what would becomy of a Republican form ot Government, Ho beld back, 1ike Lot’s wifc; urfon our weary route and #ee where we had stmnbled and fallen, As it was with man, fo [t wwas with the Church. Its record might have been a brilliant one, or it might lave been & disastrous one; but, sach ns it was, thero It must stand,—it could not be effaced, 1t wonld bo weil to look back over the yuars that had marked the progress of that church and sec wherein an improvement might have been made fn {ts afairs, and res what might have been undertakon with profit. Trinity, the speaker atated, was orlginally the oflsflrflnt of 8t. James' Cliurch, the mother of all Episcopal churches in this city. 1t was or- imnlml in 1842, 1o procecded to review the iistory in detall, glving the nnmes of the sever- al Rectors who had hai it under charee, and ro- Iating_Interesting incldents connceted with its carly life and growth. At ono time, Bishop Whitchouse was called asa pastor for Trinity Church, but he was E'reventcd from_accepting being elected ns Bishop of tho Diocess o 1fiinots, The Arst church bullding was erected on Madison |lrrpt‘ 8t the oxtravagant cost of £1,300. While It was conatructing, the Bociety rented of J. Young Scam- mon 4 saloon In which to hold services, and, 1o show the smalincss of tinanclal matters at that time, Dr. Bullivan said hg would state the terms, Tho price was fixed upun 88 $3.50 a week, If the congregation held seryices both morning aud evening: 1 no even- ing ecrvice was held, then the priee should be but 8.0, Mr. Scammon rescrving’ the uso of the room Saturday evenings. Telnity was Kot witbout its financial em- barassmenta at that time, any more than it was atthe present day, and tho congregation found that In order to raise money to clear the debt it became neceesary to sell serfp, They soon out- grew thelr church on Madison streef, and the members began to look about for more com- modlus _quarters, -+ A church was bullt on_ Jackeon street, between Michigan and Wabash avenues. The Boclety became embarrassed to such an' extent that the proper- ty massed from them into the present hands. ‘The great fire of October, 1871, swept Trinity's propurty away, 08 it did that of thousands of others. ks 1u regard to the membership of the church, he would not state the manner in whicn, from n scorc of communicants, the number was In. ‘ereased to hundreds, then to thonsamds, until they had becomo as numerous as tho blades of grass or the sands of the sca, with those hero and thoso whio had passcd away to tholr future homes, From the organization of Trinity Chureh up to adecade of years ago, the bap- tisms numbered 063; tho conflrmations, 2043 tho morriages, 273; aud the deathe, 327, With- in the past ten years the baptiams were U515 the confirmations, 2343 the marrlages, 164; the deaths, 1504 the number o comnunleants, 350, After tho great flre, they found that theirs was a ' movable church, First they worship- ed in o Fourth avenuce chapel; then i an upoer story_of o building; tben In a Preshyterian church; and finally in o dancing-ball. The growth of a church” under such circumstances ‘was un utter hnpossibliity. T firat ylmmerlng of light which plerced the cloud of darkness after the fire was a propo- sitlon to crect the present Trinity Church, in 1873, which was pushed forward Ly the help of ten, Anson Stager, and Bunday, Nov. 22, 1874, tho tirat sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. Sehenk. Since tiat time the congregation was fuuiline with the church history, Dr. Sulllvan then gave a summary of the financlal condition of the church to-day, He stated that there had been raised during the past ten years, for parochleal and other pur posee,a fotal 'of about 167,000, No parish could be said to be fnnbealthful condition unlcss It had two forees working within,—aone n central foree, working fn_ and 1owand itself, and thoother a centritugal or outward force, work-" ing for its zood outside. In regard to the tuture, the speaker confessed himself utterly at nloss to declde. It might be made full of Gupe, f the plans conld be fully carrled out, but with tho present incubus be felt o ‘severe pressure. Tho apectra of debt of a church was, il possible, worase to con- tewplato than where o miplster was hampored with personal obligatious, and his attention was | distructed from the spirltual wth and pros- perity of tho Boclery to contriving tneans—not always strictly mosal, ho was sorry to say--for extrication. 1le had frettod over the heavy burden until he had feit Ulmscl! called upon to tender his resignatipn, if some moans could not be devised for ratsing tho heavy debt, Ie did not wiah to be misundorstoud. ™ He dld not of- fer to proposc that the debt should bo cutirely cleared fu Beptember, when it was due, but ha thought satisfactory terms might bo made whereby the creditors would inake payment ‘ensler to accomplishi, By Sentember, the chorch would already haye pald the sum of 823,500 in futerest alone, What he would suggest was “this! " that they reduce vrinclpal fn September $20,0005 then make terms for tho next five years ot a lower rato of intercat, which ho thought could bs casily dono, and the creditors would probably be satlstiod with n partlal sct- tlement, ‘There were, suz, 800 members of the Boclety, and ho proposed a sort of uniform and constant cone tribution, which would work to perfection it carried out successfully. Il woulll ask tho first 200 to zive b vents o week cach,—boue wers 8o poor that they could not afford thie; the third bundrod fo give 10 conls n week; the fourth hundred $9 cents; and the fifeth hundred 81 cach week, Iu thocourso of n year this would fout up & wraud total of 88,840,—moro than enough to free the church of debt fu tho coursp of time, 5 < ‘The speaker concluded hls remarks with o tduching allusion to the church and his con- nection with it, DANGER AND DELIVER- ANCE. .

All wealth depended upon labor with Its osscssorics, and the good of soclety depended upon maintalning a substantial mid- dlo class, and from this point of view he thoughe tho poorer classes had just causo for comolaint, and if there not some chavgo the rich would coutinue to grow richer am! tho poor poorer.. The murmurs of discontent were not without cause, and the resutt. of these murmurings was scen fn the formation of the Boclalistic party which was just now attracting 2o much attentlon, The speaker then read irom the platform of tha party, and eald much of it was good, while thers tvas in it much that was dangerous. Soclallsm played luto the hands of Communism, and Communlsm struck directly at the private ricbts of {ndividunls, and -hers was tho ereat trouble, In the demonstration’ of swhich he read from Soclaliatic papers and docu- menta to show thut Sociallsts contended and held that eapital and labor had no interests in comipon, that looked upon the man of property na n wrong-~loer, and saw no other remedy for t{mlr troubles, fmaglnary or real, than revolu- tlon. 4 ‘The spenker summed up the ‘demands of the Bocinlists to bo to upturn and reorganize society, which he sald was tmpossible. Society could” only w, and time only could reorganizo it, To al.l.omrs to forcs n reorgani- zatlon of it would be to Intruduce tyeanny, and upsot and dofy tho laws, which should not be tolerated, The paole had resuited o the re- ductlion of wages overywiicre, and he knew that this was the cause of cnnnim-rnnlu hardship, Lut Socialistn did not suggest the remedy, but, on tho contrary, suggested an increase of tho malady and tho muitiplying of all ths cvils complalned of. "I'ne facts conneeted with the history of Com. muuism showed that thie movemeont agalust private property had taken place ln uearly svery vountry, and In alimost avery age, urh.vhmumf with men of such diverzent rank us Plato and Robert Owen, and ns wmc‘l‘v sundered {a respect of time, country, and soclal surround- ings 0s the Essencs, Bir Tbhomas More, Bt, 8imon, avd Father Rapp. Every student gnew that Plato's_* Republic,” More's 4 Utoply," and Bacon’s ** New Atlantis ¥ were schemes provididine for a complete roorganiaa- tion of suclety, and bad, ke allsimilarscicmes, been regnnles‘ as chhnerleal.

Rovolution might uot conie this year or noxt, bus unlcas thero wasan equitable adjustiment botween capltul aud labor {c would surcly followe 1n conclusion, tho speaker sald Communism was at war with tho plalucat Jaws of politizal cconomy und humnn nature. What rooted It out was tha exporiunce of its Impossibility. By this meaus it had boen extinguished in Fraace, but even thers it had taken thrce bloody con- Hlicts to do it.

SERMON DY TIE REV, SUMNBIt ELLIS. ‘The Rev.

It tras told of John that he took tio mother of Christ after the crucifxion into his own liouse. On this pontecostal occasion there was s common distributlon of the prop- erty of tho disclples for tho commeon good of the converts, of whom there were many thousand. They had come up tothogreat Jewlah festival in creat numbers, .aud the Christlan baud was Iimited nt that time, ana when tho great crowd c¢amo up to be ednverted, It was nccessary that the Jews ‘should do somethlug for them; hence, for tomporary ends they put thelr property {n‘o a common atock, not for busincss .or speculative purposas or for investment, but only for the actual retief of tha poor converts. Lven then they were not commanded to do that; it waa u work putely voluntary, There could be found no bosts in_this inatanco for tho ordl- nary Communistic notlons of reducing snd de- stroying property. % s In consldering tho subject of the ovening, tho apeaker said that he would submit throw propo- aitlons golng to catablish the persoual right. of peoplo fn property: First, the scnso of per- sunal ownership wes innate throughour man- kind.

Black- stune said that nothing so generally struck the affections or enzages tho attention of mankind as the posscssion of proverty.
