G. Re VANIORNE, The Rev, George R. Vanhorne, pastor of the Michigan Avenue Methodist Eplseopal Church, preached the following sermon on “Our Publis Schools.” There was a large congregation present, and many public school teachers were in attendance. The reverend gentleman spoke ns follows: When wisdom .entoreth into thine heart, and knowledze ts ploasant unto thy aoul, discretion ehall preserve theo, understanding shall koop thou, —Praverbs, tty 10, 11. ‘The schoolmaster is a General, Mo mar- shils an army of progress, Ho demonstrates his way to success, ic outlines his position with a pencil, and transforins his blackbourd. into a bretstwork, His best artiliory is a pluee of chalk, and with « simple sponge ne destroys whole columns of error, Every schoolhouse inthe land ts a-fortress o€ strength, A proper text-book in .the ands of a child becomes a powerful weapon in the world’s civilization, The common schouls ofa people area greater saferun rd to tho liberties of thut people than are the cam- bined Foret of army and navy without the schools. if Govermments would spend more money for the education of the common people,there would be less need of weapons for de- structlon, And, other things being equal, a Jess enlightened people always yleld to a nore enlightened people In tines “of contest for dominion, We need but refer to the con- tinued conquests of the English peovie as proof of our assertion, or ta the resnits of tho Franco-Prussian war, or the elvil con- flet In our own Nation. One of the principal enuses, as related by Plato, whieh ted to the deellne and ultimate ruin of the Persian Empire was a tack of good education, Thty. neglect began with the rullng Vrinees. Nelther Cyrus nor Darius, who themselves were eduentad, pald Wo least attention to the education of thetr sond, In consequence of this neglect, the Empire hind such dissolute and monstrous rulers as Cambyses and Xerxes. This ignorance ant" profligney on tho part of the rnlers was contagious, and had n) pernicious Influence on their sub- jects. The conduct of the Princes buenne un dof ruly for their suecessors, until the ‘hole nation was infected and degenorated Inte a corrupt masa of ignorant profligntus, ‘Thelr cup being full, the Emptre perlshed. dn that, masterly address of Wustington in whieh he blits adieu to publle life, ha ex- pressts his convictions on the relation of tho school ws @ force to enlichten public opinion, wuleh opinion controls the Government. “Promote, then, 08 an objeet of primary lin- portance, institutions for the general diffu- slon of Kyowledav. In proportion as the structure of Government gives foreo to pubile opinion, it iy csaentin! that public opliton shoutd be entightened.? The schools of a natlon are Its centres of power, ‘They are the fountaiis of knowl- edge which send forth streams of wisdoin. They are thanghe producers, braln-develop- ers; they are the world’s civilzers, The earliest education was, is, Bad and must. that af the funily, The sehools for tho priesthood came next In order. In the earlier cunturies tho schools were natnly ecclealnstical or under the control of reil- gion, Among anclent nations, and among many nations of modern times, education did not and does not comprehend the elevation of the masses of the people, Common schools which furnish to rich and ‘poor alike a good sound secular education sich as we are be- comlng conversant with, did not thon exist, ‘The Protestant Reformation tutraduced the iden of educating the masses of the peonle. “Murtin Luther brought the schoolmaster inty the cottage, and tald the foundations of tha system which fs, the ch strength of modern German which the child of tho humbl slow but certain gradations, rei ast education whieh the country can afford.” Lo w large extent this fs also true in our own country, but it te not yet as universal as it shouldbe and ulfimately must be. No naqgon te strong where the common peo- plo are uneducated, - No nation Is safe where the nmsses are left in imvarance.

In Scotland, ng early ax 160%, the Govern- Ment ordained that a school os well os a church should exist In every parish. and that they po maintained bya tax upon the land, Macaulay says: “The Scotch took first rank nga people on account of their educational Mensttres, and educated Seotchmen every- where took prominent places in national aod he Haced jf dl ed: jod has placed a premium upon good edu- cation. here Is a: hott Of penalty’ ntinehed to ignorance. Some countries aro be- alnning to look upon voluntary ignorance as aerime, agaluist which they muat legislate, Germany has now a system of compulsory education. Every child of sound mind and in physteal health must be sent to school atter attaining na certain age; and where this cannot be done, it has tobe so certified by the Judicial Magistrates, Norway hing n peculiar method of showing her disapprobation against ignorance, There is. an elementary school in every village, and where the population Is too thinly settled the schoolmaster may bo sald to be “abroad,” ashe wanders from farm to farm, so that tho inost distant fainilles have the benefit of his indtruction, Every town has its public li- brary, and in many districts the peasants an- nually contribute a dollar towards u collec. ton of books, which, under the care of the prlust, is tent out ta all subseribers, No Norwegian js confirmed who docs not know low to read, and no Norweginn Is alowed to marry who has not been con- firmed, So contirmation, and marriage, and ability to read are intimately related. It is the-eduention of the massed duces pauperisin, Freo schools well patron- {zed are sure death to pauperisin, Ignorance Js costly tu the State; It is more costly than the entire expense ‘of our public-school sys- tem. “The country over, 90 per cent of crime ts among the fititerate.” ‘These facts prench tous the Gospel of education, and prove that the school Is a elvillzer. ‘The school develops thinkers, Thinkers deeome innsters, ‘The Balearen mothers, in order to educate their children to the uso of the sling, fur the power of which that people Were so fuinous, werd accustomed to place on the branch of a tree .a ‘piece of bread de- slened for their children’s breakfast. The ehild was not allowed a imorsel til he had brought It down with his sling. Such severe eduention led to dux- terity, by which they could always enrn thelr own living. ‘The public schools of our country are designed ‘to 50 educate the mind of our youth that they will know enough not ta be paupers, but beable to earn -thoir own Hving, and do {t hanestly and in- tellizently, and mennwhile add to the wenlth aud prosperity of the country. Agesliaus being asked what he thought most proper far boys to learn, answered, “What thoy ought to do when they become men.” His wise answer is equally pertinent In reforence to the education of girls. Every child's Intellect should be'so thoroughly trained as to be able to rend, Inquires and think for itself. And-‘the acquisition of knowledge secured by such mental drill tands to Inerease the Antelivatual capabilities of tho individual. Good, schooling does not sim y consist In burdi ping, the memory with facts or propositions, bul in developing the capabilities of the nifnd, A process by whieh the originating productive powsrs of the mind become. fertlle.', Such is tha object of our public-school system; and such’ an education cannot fallto be af grent service to the Individual, and also to the community asa whole, Let us not, however, be so forgetful as to confound the fact of eduention with tho ob ject or end of {ts attainment. Tho simple statement that a person: is well educated Is not cnough. It should be, but Is not, in itself proof of good character. - ‘To be educated scholastically ig not sumMelent.

LECTURE BY THe REV. E.G. WINSCHt. The Rev. E.G, Hirsch lectured {n the Sinat Temple yesterday morning on “Immor- tality.” The lecture was one of great inter- est, and the congregation, though not unusu- ally large, contalned a number of people not of the Jewish falth, and was strictly at- tentive. The reverend gentlemen began by saying that “Whence?” and Whither?” were the two great queries of life; whence had itcame and whither was tt going. The spiritual man of to-day was on a desert ‘sland, surrounded by the unknown waters of the past and the undisclosed waters of the future. ‘The more momentous of tho two great problems, however, was—whither? Was there a life to come after this on earth was finished? Men of to-day advanced three reasons why this questlon should be answered in the affirmative. The first of these wos that in all ages every race had hetieved in ar fut- ure existence. Commencing with tne most primitive records of the human history there was to be found positive proof that prjneval inan belleved inn hereafter. Many Heved, though, that all men went after death toa realm of felicity,—that there was to be no distinction between their respective lots according as ther had conducted them- selves in this life. ‘They likened death tnto slugp, ag did the first pocts and the pocts of to-day, and were firm in the faith that the avocation pursued or inast desired by x man in this world would be given him to follow {nthe next. So, when a warrior dled, his bow and arrow and all his implements of warefare were buried in the same grave with his body, in order that he inight take them with hitn to his new abode. Or, if he had pursued a peaceful avovation on earth, the grave companions of hls body were the same that he liad used in life. It was reserved for Christlanity to advance the belief th man’s futurity was to be graded according to the life’ he had led here. ‘The virtuous man owas to bo rewarded with uv hereafter of supremo happiness, and the viclous man was to suffer tortures Indescrib- able. So the helief ina hereafter had existed always, and this was one of the evidences of innortality. Now what were the objections to this proof? ‘They were many, but any onv of them was sufiiclent to overthrow its clahu to a consideration, Until the contrary fact wos discovered, tho whole world be- lieved the earth was fint, but that did not make it flat; until the contrary was discay- ered the sun was thought to dally rovolve about the earth, but that did not prevent man from discovering that nicht and day was caused by the eurth revolving upon {ts axis, Agaln, the Christian form of belict in a fut- ure life did more to weaken faith In immor- ty than anything else. ‘The iden that a child, pure blassom of life, would sulfer the tortures of hell for simply tot bellevin, in Christ, while the repentant murderer—re- pentant atthe last hour—Would be recolved nto a life of felicity, was out of all reason, ‘Tha second evidence advanced to-day as a plea for immortality was the Inw of the pres- ervation or forees. Nature, was constantly changing, but not an atom was belng de- stroyed; therefore tho soul could, not be de- stroyed, But in answer to this theory there was to be asked the question, Whit ts the soul and the mind? No man could make the lecturer believe that the soul and the mind woro things that could be separated from the brain and the bods So faras men knew the soul and the uiind were not entitles, that could be preserved after the brain and tho body had crumbled to dust. The third evidence offered in proof of im- mortutity was tho theory of compensation; If # nan led a virtuous Ife he would surely re eelve somo reward. This theory was situply berging tho question, and the Christian jdenot seumortality. night be summed up in tho ong word—selfishness, A truly religious man did not do good because he expected to receive a reward for 50 doing, but because his inner consciousness told him it was his duty and a pleasure, A truly religious man did not re- ‘ruln fram doing wrong because he feared 0 terrible punishment in the world to come, but because bls nature rebelled against the commission of sin, and because he knew that he could not afterward be at peace with iim- self. Wus the man who did not commit mur- dar and theft aimply occause he feared the olicaa good man? He was, according to ho Christian theory, nithough his desire wight bo to break tho law, It had been sald in Chicago during the past forty+vight hours by anable man that, should death be abol- Ished, the occupation of the Christlan min- Ister would bo gone, the churetes would be deserted, and tha ringing of thelr bells would meet with no response. Why would this ba so? Because it would be fally then to preach about tuture reward for virtue and future, damnation for vice, How about Judalsm ? ‘Tho abolition of deatt would make no difference to the teachings of this futh, The temples would still be usecl as beforo, and the Jowlsh diving would reach ns before, Judaisin attended only to he known and Jeft the unknown to God. Judaism taught men to bo good and virtuous in this world, because that was best for tho eace aud happiness of mankind, ‘The ques- Tomas to the future was left to the Inui- vidual, As for the lecturer, ho had a hope of a future existence, but in what way he did not know. He did not want to destroy tho faith of any one in tiumortality. All men hoped for [t, but they could not know of it, for tho unknown belonged to Go. Thore was, however, one was of seourlng Immor- taltty in this world, and that ay wns to do gould, Evyory good act carried with It an in- fluence furthor than could be seen, Just. as a pebble thrown Into the take created a ripple that reached to the distant and unseon shore.
