New York sun. : The church building of the Wesley Methodist Episcopal Society at Tompkins and Willoughby avenues, Brooklyn, was sold by auction on the 24th of March under a mortgage held by the Willismsbarg Bank. A bid of $15,000 was made by Franklin Whiting, and as he was the only bidder the property was sold to him. The members of the Society supposed that the church was bid in by the bank, and that they could arrange with the bank to regain posses- sion of the property. The Wesley Methodist Episcopal Church Society was dissolved, and the name of the Wiltoaghby Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church was adopted, so that new ne- gotiations might be begun with the bank. But the pastor, the Rey. Jobn H. Stansbury, whose pastorate was to expire on the next Sun- day, the 30th ult, said that the Rev. Miss Anna Oliver, A. M., and Bachelor of Divinity, was the actual purchaser. In a chureb society meeting in Miss Oliver's build- ing on the 25th, Miss Oliver and the Key. Mr. Stansbury explained the purchase. Mr. Stans- bury related the history of the strugeles to save the church pfoperty, and Miss Oliver told how she had heard of the society’s struggles to save itschurch, and how she remembered that its difficulties were similar to those of the First Churclvin Passaic, N. J., which she had so re- vived by her preaching and pastoral work that its permanent debt of $92,000 and a floating debt of $3,000 were paid by the members, Miss Oliver said that she nad visited the Wesley M. E. Church quietly, on Sunday, when the re- ligious serviecs were half finished, and as she Jeoked around at tne congregation it seemed to Keras though God had sent her there. She ) Knew none of the members; but friends offered der money to buy the building, and she had de- termined to occupy the vacant pulpit. When the meeting closed the members shook hands with their new preacher in the must friendly Way. Miss Oliver ordered the church to be warmed yesterday, and threw open the doors at an early hour for morning service... The building is Gothic in style, and is ot wood, painted to imitate stone. Its siender spire is visible for many blocks , around. ich stained-glass windows on each side admit light to a Jarze auditorium. ‘The outlook from’ the churcb-steps takes in scatter- ing dwellings, blocks of houses, und unsightly Vacant squares byunded by streets in which rub- bish-dumping is yet permitted. The church seats 1,000 persons. A vallery extends around three sides. “The end gallery {s occupied by the choir and a large reed-organ. ‘The pulpit is small, and the platform on which it stands is broad, as befits the Methodist preacher’s pulpit where truth is dispensed in a rous aD sometimes athletic manner. Above the cherry- colored upholstered settee and chairs at the back of this platform are the words on the wall, in maroou-colored aud gilt-edged letters: “Glory to Godin the Highest; and beneath them the words, in blue and gold: ‘Peace on Earth and Good Will Toward Men.” A stand, with a pot of calla LHes and roses, stood beside the pulpit. . The congregation began to assemble half an hour before the time for service to begin. As the numbers increased those already seated oc- cupfed the time either in turning their heads and nodding to any acquaintauces whom they might discover, or in studying the faces of strangers. ‘the congregation numbered 600 or 700. Miss Oliver meanwhile quietly mounted the pulpit stairs aud took aseat alone on the settee, the cherry-colored upholstery of which brought out in striking relief her slight, girlish figure in black cashmere, relieved by a knot of white at the neck, producing much the same eflect as the white muslin bands that clerzymwen of the Methodist Episcopal Church wear over black gowns, Her snort hair. partea in the middle, fell in waves behind. Her complexion is dark und her eyes are black. She seemed em- barrassed when she spoke, and held her arms tight to her sides, like a school-girl reading a composition, Miss Oliver arose and said: ‘In order to Prevent misunderstanding, 1 have written a statement to read you this morning. I have to say, Orst, that this whole matter is with the Lord. My reliauce fs on Him ulone. Secondly, there is no church: organization bere at bresent; the past is past. We begin anew order now, and take no responsibility for the past. A Meth- odist Episcopal Church is to be organized, and meanwhile there will be preaching regular- ly, @ Sunday-school, prayer-meetings, and class meetings iand all the sacraments will be observed. Thirdly, as to finances, if the Lord’s work is to be done here, then He will provide the means for carrying it on. I assume the re- sponsibility, and let me tell you some of my business principles under which Lhave prospered: Trust in God; never spend a dollar until it’s in your pucket {sensution and stenitieant smiles) ; and do your utinost to help yourselves along. The purchase pricetor the building aud apppoint- ments was $14,000, which was its ‘market value for other than religious purposes. ‘The bargain has been bound by the payment of $100. On May 1 $1,000 is to be paid, and is already con- tributed by friends, and the remainder fs to be- gin to draw interest on Oct.1 for six months, when it will become due. The weekly receipts must be made to cover expenditures. No wrong or doubtiul,—understand me,—no doubtful means are ta- be employed to. raise the debt. The Lord's house is not_to be a house of mer- chandise. I believe in God through the gener- osity of His people. Friends will not be called upon to get up entertainments, fairs, shows, or exhibitions. Ifyou want to give, then give your mouey, Put itin the basket. But you may say Ut other churches may want to help us to get up fairs for our benefit. Well, if they do, we shall have to help them in their fairs, and so we won't gain anything in the end. DR. LORIMER. THE NEW PASTOR OF YUE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH. Boston Advertiser, april a. : ‘The departure of the Rey. Dr. Lorimer from Boston is matter of regret to all of us,—the loss is by no means confined to the congregation in the Tremont Temple, or to the members of the Baptist communion. The clergyman, whoever he may be, who speaks every Sunday two or three times tu 3,000 people together, has a very great power for good or for evil. in this case half that congregation are not merely hearers. They are united fn church order and make a strong organization of intelligent and conscien- ticus people, ready and willing to carry out the impulse which such a teacher may give. And the teacher, in this case, is not only a public speaker of singular eloquence, but a faithful, studious, unselfish man, of wisdom equal to his opportunity, aud ready to do his utmost what- ever the exigency may be. To lose from among the leaders in society one so deservedly respect- ed by allas he is deservedly beloved by his friends, is indeed amatter of general regret. It may.perhaps be said not to be our affair, — but we take the liberty to suggest that it is worth the while of intelligent men to cunsider whether It be wise to put on the shoulders of one man duties so appalling as these which Dr. Lorimer retires from. in the -full flush of his suc- ss. He has been here long enough to be well fhowa. ', His deep-seated ‘popularity is not the popularity of a new-comer. He can presume, tairly, on the affection and consideration of hosta of friends. Yet he leaves an attached parish whorn he loves,—not as the pbrase is, “for a larger field'of duty,” but fora smaller one. He is overworked where he is. No man’s strength can stand such demands. Ig it not a fair ques- tion which asks whether a system fs wise which caro such 2 burden upon a successful preach- er We trust it may not be improper if we say that Dr, Lorimer’s reputation, so firmly estab- lished, is in itself 2 reproof to what is well enough called ‘sensationalism ” in the ‘pulpit: His ministry has been the unaffected, unpre- tending ministry of a man willng to make himself of no reputation if’ ouly he can truly serve the cause he has embraced. There has been no applauding advertisement. There has been no effort for “ first-rate notices” in the journals. There has been no voice heard inthe streets. There has been simply the frank, courageous discharge of reg- ular duty,—in the way that he found best,— with an evident disregard of the popular whim or the fashion of the moment. It is such dis- charge of duty which is rewarded, for it must be @ reward, by the constant presence of a crowded congregation: und, now that he leaves us, by the certainty of the regard of thousands, who have. perhaps, hesitated to speak before. Dr. Lorimer’s little bool on the history of the Baptist body, ‘The Great Conflict,” showed how careful and how diligent the scholarship which goes to the making up of a great public speaker. Perhaps it surprised, in the range of its research, those who hadnot heard him often. But those who had knew that those strikin; addresses of his are not made commonplace, ant that rhetoric is. the very least element in their power. The people who have heard him often kuow that ‘they would have been thus quick- ened and moved, if, at the same time, they had not been instructed. Our Chicago triends gain in our loss, as they have a way of doing. “Dr. Lorimer carries with him great wealth of regard and respectful re- membrance. “PINAFORE.” AN ENERGETIC PROTEST. Phitadelpita Correspondent Chicago Standard. All this season our city has been “Winafore ” wad. This opera was first introduced at one of the better sort of theatres, and almost immedi- ately drew crowds. Other places of amusement began to produce it. It was translated into German for the benefit of our Teutonic citizens. Another company took it into halls and sung it there. Fora while there seemed a lull, but now again there appears to bea renewal of the de- mand for it, aud advertisements announcing the place where it may be. heard adorn bulletin- boards und walls all over the city. To this excitement morc than anything else is due, 1 think, the lamentable lack of religious interest over which all our churches are mourn- ing. Thousands of church-members, unable to overcome their curiosity, haye gone to hear © Pinafore.” The music of the opera is whistled upon the street and played in the parlor. It has even been sung in the church. There is an instance, said to be well attested, of an ambitious and irreverent leader of a church choir who had a selection from “ Pinafore” adapted to an opening piece for a Sunday morn- ing service, and who was very properly dismissed therefor. The effect of sll this apou both the Church and the worid has been disastrous. The Church has been in no condition: to labor for Christ, and the world has drowned its cares and sing inalaucb. And 50, instead of a revival in religion, we haye a revival of a comic opera,— “ Pinafore ’? takes the placeof piety. The thea- tre gets the better of the Church. Of course Lao not attempt to criticise “ Pina- fore” itself. It may beal] its admirers claim for it,—a harmless and innocent Jittle musical satire upon society and its ways. I speak now simply of its effects. These F fear,are, nega- tively at least, bad, and tend to neutralize, a3, perhaps, nothing has done for years, the fnflu: ence of the Gospel. Alas, that Christian people will tara aside for a laugh from the great work of saving theirfcllow-men! Alas, that men ont of Christ are so willing to forget in the strains ofa comic opera the present needs and eternal destinies of their immortal souls! MEAT FOR BABES. THE CATECHISM FOR THE. “HILL TOWNS.” Soringsleld (Mass.) Reputlican. There isa town in Hampshire County which might bave celebrated its centennial last year, hight Westhampton, one of the. progeny. of Northampton by the process of. budding, It gave birth to Caled Strong, one of the great } men of Massschusetts, and the Revs. Sylvester Judd and Enoch Hale, brother of Nathan Hale, the patriot spy of the Revolution, were’ -Curae. and so among its early settlers. It bas also a less dis- tinguished son in Dr. Dorns Clarke, who, as our readers know, bas lately in rather extravagant terms celebrated the Virtues and blessings which have descended upon the town from the repeti- ton of the Westminstereatechism. He has rec- ommended its readoption for popular moral euiture, and a local bookseller has had to order 100 copies of the old-fasbioned miniature “New England Primer,” sti)} Published by the ‘Con- gregational Pablishing ‘Society, Boston, Beacon ‘The New England Primer affords a striking contrast, as some of our readers may remember, to the usual literature zot out to attract popu- jation. As compared with the. masuiticent pamphlet issued by the Atchison & Santa Fe Railroad, entitled the - Rocky Mountain Vis- itor and Guide,” it is poor in exevution, but in the intensity of the illustrations and the incred- ibility of some of the subject Matter, it equals the wildest efforts of the railroad office. Begin- ning with a-b abs and words of one syllable, the apelling ts soon disposed of, and we come to the familiar couplets, starting off: In Adam's fall We sinned all. The cat, the dog, the fool, Uriah’s wife, and other characters from natural and sacred history Point the several morals, till Youth forward slios Death soonest nips,. according to which un exhilafating skeleton chases alad across the aa in the coarse wood- Cut of the last century. Poetry of more ambi- ton is interspersed with the moral precepts.

Finally we get down to business, “the shorter catechism areed upon by the reverend assem- bly of divines at Westminster.? Here is how the chicks were fatcened in old Westhampton: Q. 18—Wherein consists the sinfulnesa of that’ estate whereinto man fell? A.—The sfutniness of that estate whereinto man fell consists in the guilt of Adam's first vin, the want of origins) righteoas- peas. and the corruption of hia whole nature, which is commonly called original sin. together witha 2) ‘actual transgressions which proceed from it. Q. 19—Waut isthe misery of that state where- into man fell? A.—All mankina by their fall lost communion with God, are- under His wrath and made liable to all the miseries in thle life, to death itecif, and to the pains of hell forever. Q. 20—Did God leave al! mankind to perish in the estate of sinand misery? a.—God, having out of Hig mere gond pleagure, frouall eternity elected some to everlasting life, did enter into a covenant Of grace, to deliver them ont of the evtate of ain and misery, and to bring them into an estate of salvation by a Redeemer, - Dr. Clarke in his book glorifies Westhampton, the cathechism town. ‘There is another side to it, {0 isa sittte rural community to-day of only 556 iubabitants, agoinst 918 in 1930. Half a century has reduced the population nearly one- half, and another half a century of the cate- chism will extinguisn the community entirely. ‘The average attendance in the schools of the town last year was 90, or 68 per cent of the children between 5 and 15. Expenditure per scholar $7.80 (or $1,000 in all), againat $16.40 in Springfleld. In 1875 our census found 173 males in the town, and their occupations were as follows: Clergymau, 1; merchants and trad- ers, 2; farmers, 112; farm tabore: workers, 4; carpenters, 11; blacksmiths, 2; the ocaupations of the other sixteen are’ pot ven.

At the present time the Congregationalists of England and the United States show in their most important statistics almost exactly equal numbers. The Americans have 3,620 churches, the English, 3577; the Americans have 3,627 ministers, the English, 3,709, But the English Congregationalists bave no more than 625 min- isters without pastorates; the Americans have In benevolent coatribations there is a ixe approach to equality, the’ churches in the United States having riven $951,890 in 1878, and, those in England, $900,000.

In average age of de- ceased ministers the American Congregational- ists exceed their English brethren. The average age of the American ministers who died in 1878 was 67; of forty-three of the English, 63. ‘The bottom has fallen out of the Merpingen miracles. In July, 1878, three little. girls, aged from 8 to 10 years, daughters of agricultural laborers in Prussian Rhineland, startled the rural population of the district by the assertion that they had seen the Holy Virgin in a neigh- boring wood, ‘Their tale ran thus: They saw a lady io white, surrounded by a supernatural halo, Icaning against a fir tree. ‘They asked her who she was. To thie the apparition -con- Gescendingly replied: ‘lam the one immacu- Jately conceived.” The . Virgin: exhorted the children to pray industriously, and to tell others to do the like. The story, being supported by the priests, speedily attracted thousands to the spot. praying multitude filled the mirsculons copse night and day, and as the children -professed to have hourly interviews with the Divine being, and to cure any species of disease by placing the Virgin's robe upon the ailmg limb, the movement assumed extraor- dinary proportions. ‘That the Virgin was in- visible to ‘all except the three. privileced children the latter accounted for by their superior fnnocence,: as attested by the resplendent ady ‘in white. The Government eventually thought themselres ‘Justifcd in shutting up the miraculous wood. ‘A little later, suspicious evidence flowing in from all sides, prosecution was instituted against the parents of the three visionary girls, five village priests, and a half a dozen other persons implicated in the business. ‘The trial Opened a month ago at Saarbrack, and, after the minute examination of the prisoners and 170_witnesses, closed with a speech by the Pub- lic Prosecutor, who demanded. that the accused. should be condemned to various terms of im- prisonment extending from one to three years. The depositions made by the witnesses and by the prisoners left no doubt as to the deplorapic nature of the case. A seal-engraver deposed that the medals recording the appearance of the Virgin at Marpingen were ordered at his shop early in June, though the first celestial visit to the ‘wood only occurred on July 3.

He is widely known and csteemed in the central counties of the State, and the trial prom- ises to attract keen attention. He recently breached a sermon on the Universalist faith, and certain sentences then uttered are the hasis. of the charges now made. ‘ Universalists be- Heve,” he said, “ that ail ponishment is reme- dial. I do not believe the. theorr is necessarily heretical. Nor in my jadement does it mitigate in the least the terrors of law, or promise sny immunity to the sinner.
