E Church. Evers pew in the church was flled, fadaJarge number of cxtra seats had to be rovided for the Jarge aseembly. The congre- tion inclnded many distinzuished persons, 20d alsa Mrs. Chisolm and her son. The fea- sare of the scrvice was the culogy pronounced 1y Bishop Giloert Haven, of Georgia. At some points during the delivery his utterances azreed £o well with the sentiments of his hearers that the latter, forzetting for a moment the day and Jlace, interrupted the speaker with bursts of apolause. “The choir, consisting of Messrs. Simons, Per- kins, Dovall, and Waldman, first tenors; Ma- cuire, Aver, snd Atkinson, second tenors; Faiser, Cobicn, ana_ Keech, first bassos; Clark, Calsert, Blancbard, and Macnicol, second bassos, goder the direction of Mr. Tasker, orzanist, sendered the following selections: ~ Chant, wan’s Days on Earth Are asa Shdow,” Beet- poven; dirze, “Peace to the Memory of the Desd.” Wallace: hymp, “Peace, Troubled Soul,” Mazzinghis antbem, “I Heard a Voice eaven,” Eichberg.

Naglor, pastor of the church. delivered a short sermon, ITe made mention of the fact that the remains of themurdered mem- bers of the Chisolm. family, over which no funers} services had ever been said, werc now beinz removed 1o their final resiing olace at otkbaven, Ulinton County, Pa. He eclested & bis text St. Johm, Xifi, T,—What T do, thou knowest not now; but thou sholt kmow beyond.”” His theme was the mystery of the present dispensation, and upon it he reached an eloquent and appropriate sermon. {'mueflndndmm he presented to the conere- getion Biskop Haven, who procceded at once to B Tnaccordance with the race-honored custom of sepulture, he £aid, they haa come together that day to ecnmage in the sotermn duties de- manded by the dead no less than by the living. We come o bury, not 1o praise. We come to sitisly the just longings of a widowed and culd-reft heart, of a fatherless and sisterless family, that their dead may be decently buried. Alter 'miving a _short history of the tragedy which gave oceasion for the services of that day, and paying a touchiny tribute to the brave and devozed dauchter, Cornelia Josephine, ana the martyred fatner, he observed that had this vio- Ience happened at the hands of the red man, Dow the whole Jand would have rung with in- dignation. We shall not eater [he said] in the ficld that Ties before yoar evary thought: WAy was this deed done, and what shall be the end of these things if allowed to go unrebulked of the na- tions ye meed not that L should teach you. Your hearts are inditing no pleasant. though, perbaps, it may prove a profitable matter. The odden lamb, the unleavencd cake, and the bitter herbs, made auseful meal to the thouzht- ful Israclite. He reflected on- the hour when death reigned in every Egvptian housebold, and his owa, by _miracle, escaved. S0 we may sup on Lenten food for this hour, and find it nu- tritlous to soul apd spirit. The augel of death, not God-sent, but devil-driven, hovers over much of our land, smiting with blood- strokes the vietims of his cruel twrath. He has left your homes free, yet only for a sea- fon. If "we allow murder for opinion’s sake tobethe law of one part of our land, it will €o0n be of all part: Can one member sufler and not all suffer with it? Can a leading citi~ 2en and his family be st on and slain in Mas- sachusetts for political causes, and peace and ealety attend the ballot in Mississippi? No more can the reverse be true. The present honercombing of Pennsvivania with murder, which stern_and unrelentine justice cannot sbate; the Communistic threatenines in Chica- poand California; the bloody strikes along the Obio; the tramp wandering murderously over one-half of our Union, is the natural, the incvi- table outcome of the unwillingmess of the Na- tional Government to protect its citizens in the other balf. The theory that State Govern- ments have such absolute control of lifc and death within their territorics that the nation eaunot cross their boundaries to protect its citi- zees and punish their murderers, has hrouzht Us10 this weak and miscrable . We are aflrishted at the shadow glowenns at our own h-stonc. In scluded Vermont; in crowd- ed Cincinnati; in remote Maine; in Central ndiaua, the same terror besets us by night, the £2me deadly danger by day. One Indian massacre srouses every part of the land. Beit the Modocs of Ozezon, or the Sioux of Minnesota, or the Utes of Colorado, or the Comanches of Arizona, indignation - and wrath leaps from end to end of the continent, and that, too, when no one dreams that the dread foc is to steal again into Eastern homes and renew his horrors at Wyoming or Schence~ tads. But this deed nas universal national ap- plication. It proves universal national weak- Dess: it breeds universal national disaster. A Yeoulc that cannot protect itself is no people. t falls 1o picces when ft. ailows its members to Be cut to picces. - {Applause.] Said a gentieman to me but yesterday, who had just returned from abroad. **The Old Worldis over-governed: we, under-governed.” Nothing strikes one more_forcibly on re-enter- iz wisland than tne fack of national power over its own citizens. Unless a strouger ises we shall dissolve and dis- BRpear as o' mation. We sich for the verifica- tion of the seal of Massachusctts, an uplifted arm bolding o swerd which alone mves placid quict under liberty.

[Applause] We must defend frecdom of specch and freedom of allot, or we perish from the earth. To this coming perfection of national peace and power this sad esent witl contribute.

There may be many an- other bloody step ere that high tabie-land, hu~ manity and America, is reached. It may be that others who now speak and hear may be required also to'make for their na- tion Jike holy sacriice. In this city. where our greatest citizen gave bis life for the life of the land, we can properly note the slow and bleeding feet of the martyrs to Christ and our country. May we, if called, be as willing and ready to follow the Cbrist and these bis dis- ciples for the protection of the work of human regeneration. It may be that the whole natton will yet be comnelled to wrestle in the sweat of this irreat azony for equal rights of cll men, as it has had to wrestle for independence and for existence. - It mav be_that Enceladus will yet arise from under this mountain ot permitted vrejudice and hate in 3 manner at which all the world ehall stand aghast,—a Kemper County massacre in every hamlct of tne Jand. It may be that we shall yet be compelled to ery out in bitterness of spirit: Ab, me! for tie land that 1s sown With the harvest of despair! Where the burning cindera, blown From the lips of the overthrown, Enceladus, 611 the air! God forbid that such a horror shall light upon our land. God will not forbid it 1if we let His children’s blood cry to Him from the ground. God did not forbid, could not forbid, Cain’s deluge from washing out Cain’s sin. Yeu if the deluge shall comes if the waters of death shal) prevail even above the tops of the highest mountains; if the wation shall be wrapped in the flames of civil strife more dire than any we have yet felt, and our indifference to the fate of our brother shall doom usto a worse sufiering,—~out of it all shall the new carth come. The delitze shall pass away, the land of rizhtcousness, of brotherliness, of Chirist, without caste, or violence, or hatred, or disloyalty, or_murder, shail appear above the flood. And then will still gicam forth, nav, will ‘more brightly blaze, the fame of this just fath- er, this brave lad, this Cornelean jewel of filiat maidenhood. Hope, then. sad hearts; “ hope and endure, and be patient.” Pray for those who bave de- spoiled yvour house of its howe, its head, its heart. Pray for them by name, pray for them wwith all the heart. So will you beé still one Touschold, for thus pravs vour family in Heaven. In Christ they lived, for Christ they” died, with Christ they dwell. Live ye in Christ in petition for the forgiveness of your enemies, so that if spared the tartyr's fate, you may still rejoice in the martyr’s crown, for then you shall win Tike honor from Gud, itk those of your awn tlesh and blood that bave goue up, yes, blessed De the Lord, gone u, up, up, up,in human love and reverence, iu carthly fame, into heavenly seats, througn great tribulation, 2nd have wash- ed their robes of blood, and made them white 1n the bloodier blood of the Lamb, who died for them as they died for Him, and will make them to reien with Him in peace and bliss forever and forever.

STERUEN 8. HARDING. Mruax, Ind., Scpt. 15, 1877, AN IDEAL CIHRIST. MARSHALL'S PICTCRE—A CONVERSATION WITH THE ARTIST. Xew York Comenercia Afcertiser. W.E. M all, who painted and engraved the well-known portrait of Abranam Lincoln, is working steadily in his studio in Newark upon his fdeal head of Christ, the original of which was exhibited in this city a few months ago. Until witbin a week or two, the only impression et taken from the plate was in the hands ofa friend of Mr. Marshall’s in Vesey street, who hodit on view in his store. Standing before this plctare,which is enzraved in pure line, and, Jike the original paint] is of heroic size, Mr. Marshall readily responded to some questions asked by n small company of bis guests. “Why have 1 made thebead ublike other pictures of Christ!? Because Christ was a Jew,—au Oriental Jew; therefore presumably dark, with the Jewish cast of features, dark bair, dark eves, and a full habic of body. Thisis my ideal of His personal appearance. I was never satisfied with the portraits of Him by the masters. It scemed to me that they failed to express the diznity, majesty, and force of Hischaracter. I'had no perception of what 2 portrait of Him should Tonly felt that gometding was wanting. What it was I did not ki : perhaps I might not have undertaken ffort to embody an 1deal but for the cir- he uld think about it, and communicate witn he mexu time ke came lic was ac- compz: )y Mr. John Howard. Mr. Beecher £aid that he and 3 pared the diferent heads of fivally selected Da Vinei's, from e Last Supper,” us the best for the frontispiece. I engraved it according to order, but Iwas not satisfied with it. 1inoughta better sclection might have been miade. But, perhaps, on the ® it was the best that could have been selected. While 1 was working at the picture 1 pondered over the subject. und when it was done I began to make studies of my own. +1 supposc there were twenty orthirty of them. None of them pleased me. 1 had made careful studics of tie famous pictures in Europe, and of ail that L could find anywhere since produced. They were all dlonde. 1 determined to make mine a piclure of a brun. Lszid to myselr as 1 have already said to you: *Clrist was an Ori- ental Jew, probadly a” brun, with the Jewish features and o masculine body, not an_effem- inate ones & will try to make a _representation which will co y this 1dea of Him.” Hence the large original, which was exhibited on Broadway and abundantly criticised, and this engraved copy, of which only this impression fs in existence. Thisis really no more than o rouwh draft. T am working at the nlate, some- times for several days tugether,andtien I leave it and take up somethiug else for a monthor two.” ) + Do you intend to takke any more impressions from the plate!” “ Not vow. It does not suit me yet. Ihave already made o many changes in it that {f 1 were to take an _impression from it now you ‘would haralv know it for the same picture you arc looking at.™ “ When will the work be finished? 1 don't know: probabiy i o vear or two, and I shall ve ely 1ssue it first iu London.” While this conver: n was going on, the whole of the little compauy were wazing at the wouderful face wrought by the genius of the artist, wiose sketeh had expanded into a paint- ing, and paintig into a fne soccimen of life- engraving, maznificent even in its unfinished state. As very few persons have yet seen this reproduction of the ideal Christ, as it will ot be procurable by purchase for some time to come, a few words of description are in place: The figure {s half-length; the head colossal. The Christ is a robust man, large-throated and largelimbed. The brow | is high, wide, and noble: the beard full, curl- ing, crisp, setting off, but not concealing a firm mouth, with 1lips full but not gross. The nose is semi-aquiline; the eves large, open, tender. The whole aspect is commandinz and winning. Fhe ideal is the ideal of - the perfect physical man, informed and penetrated by the spirit of God. It isatremendous innovation upon the Christ-traditions—but -an innovation_that com- pels admiration and inspires awe, There is no effeminate meekness—only a tender swectness, modifying and toning “superb masculinity. There is no long, forked beard—no middle-part- ing of flowing locks—no downedst eyes—no molding of the face in lines of sadness and sorrow. The old and accepted tradition of the ontward aspect of the God-man is destroyea; but ia its place apoears a strong, magnetic, 1m- pressive countenance—worthy of worship, irre- sistibly winning, pure, zentle, holy in its at- tributes, grand i1 its power. + I have my own theory in reeard to Christ,” said Mr. Marshall, © and it diffefs in several re- spects from the one commonly sccepted. Ile must, it scems to me, have been a_remarkable type of masculine development, Not what is usualiv meant by that description, but the developmens whica directs the entire force of the cercbellum into labors purely moral and inteliectual. You understand the “teachings of the schools or this subject—namely, that when the whole of the mental force is supplemented by the whole of the physfeal, with recourse to tile sensuous or the sensual, the one is by so much strengthened and the other refined ‘and purified! Thisit 1s that makes the perfect spir- itual man, and such a ManChrist I have tried to picture. My true fdeal has not been realized. But. this is a step in that direction.” Mr. Marshall has engraved this picture on copper, rather than upon steel; and he explains his reason for this by the fact that pure line-work is_much morc casily done on copper, which, slthough much softer than steel, and_therefore unsusceptibleof enduring a great number of impressions, presents fewer obstacles to the use of the graver, and gives the artist better opportunities for cutting gracefut and flowing lives. For stipple-work, steel is preferanle. ‘I'he venerable artist A. B. Durand, between whom and Mr. Marshall a close intimacy has existed for many years. hegan his_own distin- sruished career a3 an engraver in Newark, but the severe labors of the burin compelled him to relinquish the graver for the brush. Mr. Mar- shall, on the contrary, still clinge to both brush and graver. He was_once asked why, like Duraud, he did not relinquish the engraving- table. Ilis reply was that he enjoyed the labor of reproducing the works he had placed upon canvas. s labors have been severe and his studies intense, as the. decply-marked lines of his earnest face incontestibly demonstrate; but he is yet in the prime of Jite, tall, muscular, and alert, and being still on the sunuy side oL 50, it is presumabie that many years ol vizorous and useful life are his in which tocreate more works of art for men’s instruction and delight. CLERICAT, CELEBRITIES. DR. BUCKLEY, There are preachers who compel some form of assent or dissent. Theyare shoulder-hitters, and when they strike the iron must yield and the sparks fly. The Rev. Dr. Buckley, of Brook- 1yn, is one of this sort. lic speaks what he thinks, and doesn’t care whether it pleases or provokes. A short time aze he had all the liquor-dealers of Stamford in arms against bis crusading spirit. He has siunce been transferred to Ilansom Place Metnodist Episcopal Church, Brooklyn, and has at once jumped futo promi- nence. He isa powerful, intellectual athiete, au enthuslastic temperance man, and a lover of justice. Last Sabbath evening he preached a sermon on the tendencies of youth tointemperance and crime, and in the course of his sermon took occasion to denounce, indircetly and without the mention of names, the course of District~ Attorney Catlin, in compoundine the oflense of Charles Johnson,—a rich youug man who at- tempted to kill his wife,~by having him con+ fined in a lJuxuriantly-furnished apartment in the Bloomingdule Luvatic Asyium. Johnson's father js the owner of a linc "of stages in New Youk City, and the possessor of larze meavs, aua his wife is the daughter ot R. S. Benedict, Deacon in Plymouth Church, and occupies one of the most fashionable residences on the Brooklyn Heights. The minister deseribed the official's visit to the Lunatic Asylum, where he consulted medical experts, * the cheapest Kind of witnesses,” and then went iuto court to postpone iudefinitely the trial. The Star's re- port of the meeting deseribes a strangely excit- ing scene: **Thig, " said Mr. Buckley, ‘‘wasthe conrse pnr- sued toward a rich_man's son, and 1f it were the con of a poor mun ko woald have been sent to the Yenitentiary.™ He was nnderstood to say the ofli- ial whose “course he was illustrating was fined 000 for 10 ucting. t this point James McDermott, who ocenpied a scavat the eud of the church, arose and asked if e might gay a word. i o eir. Idonotknow yon. You can gec me t my dence. McDermott replied: ‘*Thot shows you are an ccclesinstieal carpet-bagrer, for you are tae only man in the caurch who does not know me." This remark caused great exsitement in the church. Every head wus turned toward McDer- mott. Mr. Buckley sald something in reply which was ingudible, and McDermott continued: *+If wihat you say is true, you should make your statement hefore the Executive of tne State, and bave Gen. Catlin removed at once. And if itis Ise, as I know it to be, then you should make an immediate apology, or shed your sacerdotal ropes.” The congregation eecmed paralyzed by McDer- mott’s audacity, The first man to recover his presence of mind was Ald. French. who ap- proached XcDermott and told bim he must leave the church or be ejected by the police. MeDermott fited this partine shot : **Yon are looking for notoriety, and if yon want it have me arrested 1f you dare. " He then left, and If. Buckley, who was quiver- ing with excitement, gave out & hywn, in which the andience joined. Mr. Buckley smote hard, and he had the en- viable distinction of “«etting about the same weight of lead he dclivered.” MceDermott is alocal politician, now of notoriety. Among the auditors that night were Mavor Howell, Gen. James Jourdan, Ald. Jokn French, Wills jam Mayo Little, and other promivent ity ofticfals, drawn thither by a general -under- standing that the parson vrovosed to speak his mind pretty freely. Dr. Buckléy is o fighter, and when he strikes he zenerally has taken all :]lxm steps leading to an eflective and irreparable ow. a PROF. PATTON. The Interiur. The election of Prof. Patton by a majority which was, when the vote is analvzed, seen to be practically unanimous is everywhere regard- ed by the secular press and by outsiders as highly siznificant. and that the siznification is an tndorsement of the firm type of theology, which he is held torepresent.” It is significatit, but the meaning is not all visible to persons outside of aur Ctiureh or to the non-ovservant of our membership. It is (1) a complimeant of the highest character to Prof. Fatton, against whom were the objecttons—persoial to him— of vouth, and of his now belng for the tirst time the member of an Assembly. The Church has never before paid so high a compliment to any man, old or youuz. It is (2) a notice to all and sipguiar that Calvinism of the most em- phatic and logical type is mot dead. but in the very prime aod enthusiasm of its strength and aggressivencss. It is @) an act of magnanimous and magnificent loyalty tothespintol the rennion, on the partof the adherents to the New-School tyne of theology. 2ud on the part of the liberal and prozressive wing of the Church. For, please natice that Cincinnati Presbyiery and_Synod voted solid for Prof. Patton. ~Chicazo Presby- tery and Synod did the same. Albauy led off solid. ‘Ihe leading progressive men of the Church votead for the Professor: this brivgs me 1o the bighestand best significance of this event. It gignities that n persecutive and intolerant spirit cannot prevail in the Presbyterian Church, Jf Alber: Barnes were now alive, he could and ould mest year be put into the Moderator's «<halr by a majority as complimentary as that which was given this year to Prof. Patton. Let o partisan, Or narrow, or intolerant person de- ceive himself on this matter, and imagine that the honor bestowed ubon one_representative of thousht in the Church is auy intended aishonor 10 any other representative of thought in the Church. FATIER GURCL Londnn qimes. Padre Curci has maac his peace with the Vatican, without_retrorrading from_his opin- i The Pontifical Seeretary of State pub- lishes the Tollowing. letter addressed by Padre Curet to his Holiness: Most HloLy PaTnes: The pricst Charles M.Curcl, knowinz that some of his recent writings have been the oceasion of scandal, ns has been shown him by pious and learncd personages, and being desirons on his own psrt of preventing even the shadow of scandal, coutes and casts himsclf at your Holiness' Iect, in order to declaze that he adheres fully and servedly with heart and mind to all the teach- aud prescriptions of the Catholic Charen, and especially to all that the Sovereign Foptiffs, and quite recently your Holiness in the Encyclical, teachas to the temporal power of the Holy See. He deplores any vexation his writinzs and Teach- ings may bave cansed your Haliness and your pre- decessor, having ever cheriched the sincerest feel- inzs of filiel homage and docile abedience for the Vicar of Jesas Christ, to whom he submits his own judzment as the proper and only competent judge of all that appertains to the resl utility and profic of {he Church and to the welfare of souls, This declaration he makes a8 a_sincere Catholic, which e has ever been and still is; and while withdrawing all that your Holiness deems worthy of censure, he places himself wholly in your hands, quite ready everywhere and always io follow your infalliole guidince. # It is understood this acclarstion has given full satisfaction to the Pope, who deems it suf~ ficlent; but, full as this submission may appear at first sight, it must be observed that the Pope has not. required, for has Padre Curci made, any retractation of opinions expressed fn his boolk. Heinsisted there’ was no Catholic dogma or doctrine which taught the recessity for belfev- ine—first, in the certainty of the restoration of the temporal power ag it was before; secondly, in the impossivility of a modus vivenai between the Papacy and united Italy; thirdly, that po- litical abstention was a Catholic duty. To these Doints, for mafntafning which Padre Curel was expelled from the Company of Jesus, there fs no allusion whatever in the declaration, and by its acceptance Leo X1I1. may be said to have in- direetly confirmed them. & GENERAL NOTES. It is stated that Pope Leo has expressed an intention to create a second Curdinalate in Ire- land. A Catholic Congress will be held at some point near Paris during the period of the Expo- sition. “The Confraternity of the Servants of . the Holy Ghost,” a Baltimore Soclety, has been rec- ognized by Leo XIIL ‘The total issues of the British Bible Socicty, during the seventy-four years of its existence, amount to 62,047,052 copics. The site of the Church of All Hallows, Bread street, London, in which Milton was baptized, has been sold to a city merehant for £32,630, be- ing at tue rate of £10 per foot. It is said 100 members of the congregation of St. Bartholomew’s, England, have joined the Roman Catholic Chiurch. Ttwo curatés reeently left the Church for the same purpose. A difliculty in the Reformed Episconal Church at St. Thomas, Canada, has resulted in the secesston of a number of the members, includ- ing the pastor, and the formation of themselves into a Congregational Church. A neat copy of the New Testament bound in fiexible mustin is announced by the American Bible Socicty at the astonishingly low price of Jivecents. This Is cheaper even than their 12mo. Bivle, from agate type, at 25 cents, The English Bible-revisers huve finished the historical books from Genesis to Nehemiah, in- clusive; the Psalms, Isniab, Jeremiah, Lamenta- tions, Ezeklel, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, and Jonah. They are engaged on the second revision of the Epistle to the Corinthiaus. Oue of the newly-orzanized Reformed Epis- copal Churches in South Cavolina is seriously embarrassed by a debt of $10. This church worships in a log editice, which is free from mortraze. The troublesome debt is of the variety known as “floating.” ‘The New York City Mission has distributed Quring the past year 7 tracts. and griven 1ood and clothing to poor familfes to the extent of £3.200. Twenty-five hundred familics have been benefited by this bounty, which looks as if each family had not received enough world): gn_(:lds to become grievously puffed up \riv.{ pride. The Presbyterian Church in Franklin, New York, was an oflshoot irom the Congregational, and both orzanizatfons had houses of worship aud parsonages, but for some little time past the Presbyterians bave bad no pastor. A reurion of the twohas uow been eflected, the Con- gregational polity being retained, the Presby- terian_house of worship to be occupicd. Two such churches were not needed, aud there wilt now be one strong and efficient society. This fsan example that may well be followed in ‘wumerous other cases. The Welsh Church of Newbury, Cleveland, are struzgling under the burden of a heavy debt, caused mainly by *be failure of the iron mills in that portion of the city to give employ- ment to many members, and thereby cnabie them to pay their subscriptions to ‘the new chureh which was dedicated about one year azo. They have reduced the amount to abont §5,000, but, feariug their fnability 1o meet this obliza- tion, they are about to appeal to sister churches, especially of their own nationelity. They are looking for a good mun to occupy their pulpit. They have a membership of about 140. A daily praver-meeting is held in the immense Jace warebouse of Thomas Adams & Co., Not- tingham, Eng. It was_ established twenty-il years azo, and has continued without intermis- sion &luce that time. -No computsion whatever is put upon the work-people to attend the ‘The half: hour it lasts, from § o’clock is taken out ¢a-the masters’- time. 1f ot at chapel, cverybody must be in his or her proper place in the warchouse doing appoiuted work. The result is that, out ot a total of 8§00 workers, the average dl"i attendance is more than 500, involving a weekly loss of 1,500 hours to the firm. The body of Saiat Alphais, a shepherdess,who Qfed in 1211, in the odor of sanctity, has just been found at Cudot, near Jofgny, Yonne, France. Even daring her life, pilgrims jour- neyed from all varts of the world to be edificd b]vl her virtues and ask the ai@ of her prayers. She bad the gift of vropbecy. and forctold scientific discoverics, among which was the daily revolution of the carth, aflirmed by Galileo four centuries later. Before: proceeding to erect a new monument in her lionor, the Cure of Curot had a search made for her relics, and was re- warded by finding the coflin underncath the floor of the building, and covered with a marble slab and masonry. 'The tomb swas opened in the presence of the Archbishop df Sews, and in it were found the bones whole and in perfect order. The holy relics will soon Dbe. translated and placed in a costly reliquary. James Antbony Froude has transmitted his second paper on “‘Science and Theology” to the Internationat Review, of New York, stating in substance that the modern nations of Europe, like the Greeks ana Romans, founded their original policy on religion; but that the will of God has no longer a place, even by courtesy, in the statutes; that respectable people fight against the unmwelcome truths In regard to Christianity thrust upon thems the clergy pray {for deliverance from evils which they kuow de- pend uwpon natural causes, and the Bishops themsclves do not actually believe what they profess. Mr. Froude asserts, however, that the message of sclence is not. the last nor the bigh- est, and that the time will come when the illu- sions which have overwhelmed relizion shail Dbave passed away: that a society without God in its heart caunot exist; and that when 2 new religion has' established itself which men can act upon and fully believe it shonld never be ruined by the extravagant pretensions of its founders and propagators. It is proposed that the Sunday-schools throughout the United States should, on the Tourth ot July, assemble cither singly or in di- visions, in churehes, groves, or public squares at 10 @clock in the morning, where questions rele- vant to the occasion should be broached for gen- eral instruction fn the form of diatozues, ad- dresses, ete. The pastor, Superintendeat, or any of the teackers or fricuds may address the school on the foliowing subjects: History, de- velopment and improvement of the fustitutiou, giving its effect upon the scholars, the parenis, ke community, the town, State, or nation. Its missions, its Bible sinaies, its help to all cult- ure, »il moral mprovement, civilization, and vrogress, After their refizious and literary exercises the school may be directed tothe ground for athletic sports and recreations, or without refreshinents. Enough of the teachers should accompany the scholars to pre- vent accident and fnsure propriety aud purity of conduct and fanguage. At 12m., orany other hour deemed more convenient. the adult popu- lation should be assembled to hear an addressor addresses from the best men in the country. This story of Mr, Moodsy is tola by a writer to the Jtepublican of Springficld: ¢ Moody was ‘preaching at the New Haven Tabernacle upon ‘Salvation’ and its perfect frecdom, and re- plyiog to certain supposed abjections, when he made the following fllustration: You have only got to takeit, that’s all.

To the Editor of The Tribune. Cnicaco, May23.—A reading of last Sunday’s sermons as reported in Tuz TRIPUNE of Aon- day begets the fmpression that the ministers of Chicago are not such men as would be likely to set the world on fire, though were such & con- flagratton to oceur they would doubtless fiddle while it burned. Setting aside the effort of Dr. Thomas, we have 2 spread of pulpit eloquence whose chief learning consists in o reference to Sir Thomas More or some other Utoplan gen- jus. aud whose endency 15 to deprecite” auy dical social change, winle admitting its neces- Did we not know these men to be the friends of conservatism, however manifest- ed, we should suppose that in these discourses on'the times they were treatiug a subject of which they knew little and cared l=ss, since they agreeonly in this, that Socialism is not the remedy for our social troubles. Such being their belief, it would become them to point out what s the remedy: but beyond the merest generalization they do not go. - The Rev. Mr. Patten says that ** Poverty, that bugbear of the Communist, is the result of an increase of the population beyond the means of subsistence, caused by the growth of families above the v ol the heads thercot to support them,” and be “‘sugzests” that the growth of ies be controlled by law, thouzh whether lie woula have this effccted by abortion or in- fanticide the Rev.

And yet this scems to_be the level at which the ministerial sounding-line strikes bottom: the level of Maithus and Mad- ame Restell.
