The text was the angel’s question to Jacob: * What In Thy Namel? ‘The subject was: * What Is Man, What Illa Endsl® The Dean aul nothing has heen added to the doctrine of {be Bible respecting the origtn ot our bodler. The simple derfvation of our bodily frames from matter was all sclentific analysis had been able to compass, but it yould bo against truth to ssume that heeause man's outwand frame was 3 handful of dust, thercfore te lhad no future except to Jfe and e burled. TF any one said because of this origin humanity could never arlsc above the ditst ut of which It was created, tho statement was contrary mot only to tho deepest Jongings of man, but $o the facts of history and matneal history, As well main- tain Dbecause men Were OnNce SAVRRER, civilization was impossible, The soul was o nigher maturo lylug behind the bodily, The man who cultisates tho spiritual qualities keens Yiving within it man’s pledgo of immortality. In the doctrina of man's higher spiritusl nature s the only safegunrd of the world against the ;:(ulnnmi of ncfi!‘nw on the ono hand and that of the sacristy and altar on the other, In concluding, the speaker appllod tha lessons of bis sermon directly to the nresont condition and future Fronpentn of the Anglo-Saxon race, saylog: *'I must say afew words as to the future of our own_Auglo-Saxon_civillzation os foreshadowed Ly the present. The question 18 whether this tide of materiatiam — will keep on guining strength, or whether thero Is & new relfious rogeneration in store for our race. This Babylon of the Western world, zothering its wealth from all quartera of the zlobe, developed so suddenly from a gmall colony, ia a constant wonder to the traveler atnong Juu who 18 so toou fo re- turn to his dutles upon n little lsland, Your vast spaces and great natfonal resources havo created a mew civlization {n sn unprecedentedly short time; but it may be well to remember bigness Is not greatn It seems fhiracitlous, no doubt, to contempl: the Jittle settlement on the freen tonguo of Isnd at the south end of this faland 200 vears ugo, with its feeble ‘)lllutla to keep back the savages, and then to look at the Babylon that bas tlien so suddenly, expauded so far; but there are other things concerned In natfonal greatness, 1€ the sfns of our present Anglo- Saran civilization ore great, then human virtue st rise to the level of natlunal bprogress.

Men will take no interest {n that of which they know nothing. Knowledpe Is the fuel of interest, It fires the desirea and the inlentfons. The Afriean buah- man experfences no Intercst fn in the electric candie or jn the English or American Uovern- ments, hocauso tha English and Ameri- can history bave not cntered hin brain, and hence hiase atirred up no sentiment In his soul. *Ho leans upan his clup and watches the bushes or the stream, quite free from any concern about foretgn lands; but coulit you take that atupld mind and pour truths “into ft aml strengthen it, the truths of Europe and Amer- cn, at last the heart would awaken, and the onee r bushman would aay, *I would !a.vr mvllmmmcn, England, France.” Thus, all the world throush, ail true sentiment waits for the facts, and when the facts coms in, bu they faver facts from the Sauth, or sctentific facts from Nature, of art facts from the walleries, or apiritual ideas from rellzlon, the heart wakens a8 they como and fts noble sentiments rush forth from ail tho epirit gates. The only abjec- tion one might urge against knowledge 18 the sollcitude it often brings. It {s the hand, in- deed, which sweeps over tho soul's harpstrings, bt sometimes the stringsare strained orbroken by the loug and rudetonch. But factaare Love's urveyor all through these yenrs.

Whon Guizotcomposed a history of French civilization he introduced into nistorle compasition a new kind of page. Or, rather, he and [lallam came along togethor to polnt out, hot I:r:.t men only, but “great moral causes of ovll and good. Uthers are rap- idiy following with the histories of *Intellcct~ ual Develupinent,” of * Morals in Europe," of * Musle,” of * Licentionencss,” with a history of the ** Iica of Iinmortality,” a * History of Money," and slong, sconcr’or later, will vome a “fistory of Drunkenness,” In whose pages, liy somo master liko Lecky or Guizot, thte awful vice will most perfectly portrayed. It will bo the ploasure and task of this coming historian to ask chemistry, and med- Icine, and government, and relizion, and the do- mestic hearth and the grave to contribute thelr testimony for Lthis summing-up of & great case. 1n that day, when these pages of a dark experl- ence shall have been spread beforo us, all our hearts will wonder that tho hour ever should have come to us when wo could without tears seo a young inan staggering on the atreet, and could without any emotion scc below the pavement the snle of the cup which contalned ** theepitome of oll crime.” Aa Paul weot when, aftor the true history of Stephen came ilashing down from Hleaven into his mind, he remembered that he had steod by and helped in that cruclty,sothere will, ere many years, break upon our eyes such o light that we'shall wonder that we atood cold- 1y by whils a great vico was stoning to death many a youth, snd was breakine the heart of wite, mother, and child, ut vou end I cannot stand still and walt for this “history of n crime™ to be written for Our daga are too few. We must even now opes onr eycs and drink {n facts enough to cmnty our hearts of tho last drop of indiffcrence In thiz whole matter; and along with thie study of the evil we must conduct the {nveatigation of the reform, Hers wo shall be met ntonce by a cheer- inz principleof Nature, * Man can be reformed. ' Oun whatever sea the heart sets sl to achieve a wmoral good, itis mot. h'\'nunn el who says, * You eon find theronl.” Nature derides all inero sd- venturers, but It loves all those who eail for an " nbsolute gdadi* When uwn‘m Argo salled with “fts haughty crew to steal the flock thit wore flceces of gold, ouly woe after woo followed tha shbip: and when scletice hias set out to find a scif- creating motion, or a drink that gives perpetual youth, Nature has always followed theso adyeu- turers to derlde and disappo{nt; but when man has set hia sail toward education, or art, or re. form, somo angel has always met him, and has sald: **1t can be found.”” When tha earlicst atriots felt tho injustive of tyranny and sought tie good augels whispered: **It can bo when man songht Jearning fu sclence, ~—political; natural, and moral,—Nature at ornce promived fulfiliment to the lupo; when Christ came with His Gospel, tho ol deitles of Roma bezan to tremble in their shrincs; when slaves begzan to feel the injustice of their chains and long for cmancipation, the future began to ar- range the detafls of ‘the fncvitabla liberty, ‘Thus all reform sofs out with the whisper of God fn the front. For this earth was not set for the defeat of good, but for ita victory: and aa the Crose arosc on a hill-sutamnit to sbow that evun tho gravo Iteclf must part with its pre- tended triumph, it showed in tho same moment that the foes of mau, this side the grave, could, ong by oue, bo all vanqulshed. When Dr, Lyman Beecher gave nis great tm- pulec to this reform Intenperance was so com- tnon that even tho clergy were loversof the common drunkard’s boitle. In Lis ** Autabi- ozraphy "’ ho eays that at the ordination of Mr. Ilarvey, at Uoshen, Conu., there was some hard drinking and some complaint (by thuss who bore the expenscs), **On accountof the quontity of lquor consumed.” 1l says that noue of the, preachers were drunk, but he will oot deny that thero was betwean scrvices such a nofse as ho cannhot describo—**i was the mazimum of hi- larity,” The liquor to couduct thet ordina- tion cost, in that cheap time, over 840. The Doctor says thst the sight of two such ordina- tlons was such ** that my shame, and alarm, and indiguation were intense, These muhnn wolio me up for the work, and silently 1 took 0 vath beforo God that I would never attoua another ordluation of that kind. I was full, My heart kindles up at the thought of it now," 1 now you will compare 8 meeting convoned {n these days to ordein an orihodox clerzyman with thosé inectivgs described by Lyman HBeecher, you will pereeive at ouce that a change for the bettor Lins been coming alouw in the fn- tervoning years. Our Furitan sncestors were sluw to escape frons this sin. Bat they had so many evils to cumbat, 0 any evemlics, from the Pope and the Kiogdown to the Fequod Indlsns, that they did ot comeearly to nn:&lm- tion of tho fact that strong drink would surpass King end Pequod in injuring the Colontes, Drunkenness so _{ncreascd smong the suns of the plous Pligrims that at lust camen Blue law fining any man * who continued above haif an hour tippling 24, 6d., aud for tippling at un- seasonable bours, atter 0 o'clock at night, Ba." After other enemies bad been conquered and Naw England bhad escapsd the Lope, and the King, and the Indian, it rewaslved for Iy, Beecher to discover that even the minfatry cher- ished a foc mors daugerous than the fagot or the tomabawk, Mark now how rapidly reform sdvanged. In the Mfetime of that oue man, Lywun Beecher, the vica of fntemperance wholly Withdrew {rom the Frotestant clergy, It guvo way readlly be- fore reflection. Apd with almioat cqual rapidity it bas been withdrawing from tho other, so' called, learved prolesslons. The drunken d tor is no lunger thought to bo a‘poclnll wlie, formerly be was thoughit, but hoe {s discarded by the public as belug especially stupld; aud the Jawyer is_estecuiod by chentd not for the glasscs e can cousuwe during scasfous, but rather fur the soberness of his fntellect, At one and the same time the cloud of intemper- suce withdrew from the learned profossions sud rematned only fu the less cultivoted foris of miud and s It may well give dignity to the temperance cause that {ts virjus bas reachied tirst the minds thut possessed woat cducation, aud beuce refiec- tion, sod that drunkceoness llugers longest where the mental power s weak yeurs ago it was wy good fortuna country by lmlnfl cretary of & temperance socicty, aud io that officlal” diguity I addressed ictters of inquiry to Presidents of colluges aud Professurs to 8ok what wus tho quality of the young meu who, In those da{l, murred theie college course by the use ol ardent drivks. Louyg letlere vame from President Woolsey, of Yule, und from Horucs Muun, thea of Boston, and from Prof. Moffat, of Priuceton, aud they oll bore testimony that geufus iu their colleges and schouls drank less than stupldity; that whisky was pawlug away frous the dleber order of wiml sud wis to by fuund unly g puesession of 1bo wore sensuul and leas Lright. Of course, there would be vivid exceptiona to ihls gencrulization, but the fuct stood that the temperaucs returin bad reached tret the minds that were inust gifted.

When on remember that theactive, organized reform s not much more than fifty years old, sou can- not hut conclude that no form of moral good hasadvanced more mpml’y" It 18 tho thoughtless fahit of many to ridl- cale some aj-ccial ahape of this warfaré against the destructive drink. Some mocked at the '*Bons of Temperauce ™ whin they came; at the * Washingtontans,” the icaders of all, in 1810. In Margland, anil even In Southern Uhio, the temperance lecturer and the sbolition Ject- urer were exged siike by slnner and Ly saint. The expressive miasiies were gathered for elther application at the cross-roads school-honse.

But it scems clear that wo must all rise shove all this faultfinding and coldncss, and pereefva that all these hands are drawing the I:oldenclurlu!olnbcucr&-(vll. lon. Al goort has come by a devious road, and that rosd leading . through entangled eat, It fil- becomo us whose Christiamity has como down through a long series of rruel blunders, has come by way of lv.inurnnt and wicked Popes at times, and then by holy ones, bas been mut- tered by ticentious priests by the aiter, has come by wuy of the crime of 8t.

By 8 winding and Imperfect road came our religion, our sciencs, our liberty; and along that path will come that floal freedom which shall save many young men from _ruin and many a mother’s heart from grief, We must turn our miuds from the thorns along the path, and, like thosa who Journered through Europa to reach tho Holy City, must look fsr boyond to see the emblems and the reality of a re- deemed race. Evidently in the future not re- mote there waves & flag of triumph. Within the last five yesrs this same branch of modern civilization, which- Uz, Beecher clothed with life long azo, has assumed the name of tho Ribbon movement. It is the old cause in & new dress. But the liberty of America was the lib- erty of Romo nnd Greece In new garments. You take away Thermistocles and Brutus, and insert Washington and Jelferson, am! the old and new ora thesame. ‘Thus this Kibbon movement and the Father Mathiew movement are all parts of o whole, and not tho parts of a broken vase like that of Moore, arouud whose detacticd and evor- wbemlhcml fragmenta the perfumelingered, but of & whole vase made whole aud perfect by 1he onencss of the destiny, Bo_unimportant are the differences between the branches of this work that we need nut oven wait hiere to sketch them.

Bpecial Corrsspondence af The Tridbune, New Youk, Oct. 20.—It {s understood here thet the new Recelver of the Kansas Pacific Rajlway, Mr. Bylvester T. Bumith, of Kanias Cuty, will take chargo of the property esrly in November, 3r, Smith bas been for wany years the Auditor of the road,~first under the Com- pany, snd then uuder tho present Receivers, who have bad control of the buifuess for the last two years. His sppoiutment appears to be satialactory buth to the bondholders and to the oflicers and Directors of the Company. Itis evident from wbat bas happeued that tho double-beaded Receivurship was & mistake. In origiaslly anpoluting two Receivers instead of one, the Court simply gave oflicial form to the wishes of both parties la tho case, each of which clafmed that its intercat should have 8 repre- sentative, It was an experiment, and it has failed. DBoth Recelvers, however, ran well enough togethier for a while, but when Jay Gould sssumed the relns they proved sn {1}« watched team,—one of thew wouldn't go, and Gould and his associates made 40 much ado sbout i, on the ground of waot of larmony, that the Court concluded that the ouly course for It to pursus was to pelicve both from duty, and appuint a sole Recelvyer who was not speclally and fluancially identitied with either of the op- posing interests, each of which is striving for supremacy i the wauagement of the road. The boudbolders belleve that there is an orvanized canspiracy on the part of the Lompany, o con- nection with the Unton Pacttic and Jay (Gould, 10 ouat thew; tho blood of the boudholders is up, and they are falllug into ine for a deter- mined contest with the enemy. A brief allusion to the way in which the pres- ent situation of affairs was brougzht about will enable those who tusy not be fawtliar with the facta to note the uudercurrent sod sce whero tho tide {s tendivg. When the Recolvers, wetp appoluted, just about two years ago, s suit wes Bcnulna for foreclosure “of the morigayge y the bondholiders, in sccordpuce with %" previous understunding between aud the Company: to the efect that, in ease of a further defuult of interest, which detault was made, the boudholdérs should Le allowed, without opiposition by the Company, to asauiue coutzol wnd musagement of ths road. But, in the weantime, by cuuvent ot sl the par- Ales, the two Recelvers wers appuivted. The Cywpany and the bondbulders, Logether with repressutatives of the business wen of Bt Louls and the Southweat, united thelr efforts ladt win- ter syulne the Uulon Pacifie Rallroad Company in order to secure from Covgress such furthyy Ieeisiution =s was deemed cascutial to give prace tival ¢fuct Lo extsting statutes tor thoe operution of the Kausus Pucific Rallway us o part of the watloal Sevstem ol rallrosd commyulestion uergss the Costinent.

The 1deas of the partfes op- E::!m to the Untou Pacific monnpoly wera em- ted fn the pro rate bill Introdaced in tho Henate and vizorously champfoned by Benator Chaffee, of Colorado. Although the measuen falled at last for want of time, yet nfter ths paseaze of the Funding bill and while the pro rate bill was pending, Jay Gonld made haste to open negotistiona with the Company and the bondholders. These resulted last summer in an agreement by which the bondholders were romised payment of principal and Intereat, he holdera of junlor seeuritics wern to be satls- fled, the officers and Directors of the Company, who were personally responsibla for the floating debt, were given Unfon Pacific acceotances for those floating oblizations, and the public wete to be accoraed ali the advantages mnd fachi- s, without further leglsiation, of s through Iine by way of Denver, the latter to be afforded by the future operation nf the Kansas Pacific Hranch, together with the Colorado Central Road, under the &:ucr-l management of the nion Pacific Company, Such, fn beicf, werethe terma of the pooling contract. The traflic agreement for tha running of these roads under the Unfon Pacific management was sub- mitted to and vonflemed by the Court. Asroon a8 Gould and his sssocfates had obtalned con- trol of tha Kansas Pacific Road, they entered into an alifance with its officers and Directors agalust the bondholders, repndlated the agre ment with the latter. and refused to open U Kansas Pacific Hranch asn part of tho maln line to the Pacific, His next movement, In which he was aided by the Company, was to get rid of the Receiver, who, a4 the trusted repre- eentative of tha hondholders, opposed and de- nounved tha purpose of the couspiracy. The bonahalders wers thus compellad to combine for self-protection.

The public East as woll a5 West {s so thoroughly dslgusted with Gould and his confederates, that all its sympathies arc naturally enlisted bn the side of every cffort to bresk down the monopoly estah- lished and consolidated by the Union™ Pacific Railroad. - The conduct of the 8t, Louls officcrs and Directors of the Kansus Pacific Company, in joining hands with Gould against the corm- ercial Intercats of thelr own sccton of the country, haa given risc to much comment bere, and subjected them to unatinted censure. And 1n thiis connection the inquiry paturally srises, “Whst are the merchants of Missourl and of the other Bouthwestern States going to do sbont 111" “T'i.e question suggests the answer, that since thelr nterests aro not protected by the Ransas Pacific oflicers and Diroctors, if they ever hope to enjoy the benefits which should be thelrs by right through the medium of the Kan- itic Branch, they will havetoseetolt themaclves that the pro rata principle s speedi- 1y defined and enforced by Congress.
