NT Se re ne ee a LT LE THE EVENING STAR, |“""™ LOCAL NEWS. ASSEN BLY's PRESBYTERIAN CRURCH.— wae chunohe located at the coraer of 5th and I Streets, seems to have been quite fortunate in the selection of the present pastor, Rey Wm. Hart, who bas entered on bis duties with bright ospects. Yesterday mossing he preached pe Feelesiastes, 2d chapter 3d verse. Me re- marked that in this book there seemed to be conflicting views. At one time the world seems to be accounted the great good, and at another it comes forth from the ordeal stamped with vanity of vanities.” Solomon sought happi- mess fn everything that could minister pleasure to (be senses; he carried his experiments throagh the entire field, and his decision is that the bliss tor which we sigh, the destiny for which we ‘were designed, is aot to be found in this world’s enjoyment and . Religion is the good because it places our happiness in the ._ There God bas placed it, not in the sub- it. Religion is the great good in ise expectations; false expecta- ‘trons lead to sin, and sin destroys us. That reli- gion is the great good appears in this. It subjects ‘the will of man to the divine will and reconciles Binn to ¢ events which must take place. Again, we find religion to ve the great in this. is to our mind the grandest ob- jects of contemplation. Here is the greatest ‘author of creation, and the end for which all things were made. Another plea for religioa as to the great good, is that it improves the so- ial condition of man. And well it may, for it islove. It teaches us justice and mercy. and requires us to cherish the happiness and inter- ests of others. It commends itself to our regard ae fo the great good in its power, to banish afilictive fears, especially the fear of death. Religion is the great good, because it provides for man as an immortal being. The world Provides only for this present being. Bat the Present life is nothing im comparision with ¢ternity. Religion 1 one the thing needtul, the pearl of great price, the good part which can- not be taken away from us, and provides for um immortal life beyond the skies. Sa MERTING OF THESIXTH WARD AxtI-Rapt- cat CLvp.—This club held meeting or Sat- arday evening at Bellow’s Hail, Philip Bor- row im the chair, and John Russell, secretary.

Mr. Jas. A. French had been down to the Long Bridge, about two honrs during the day, and saw seventeen hacks and the stage come over loaded with negroes. could not see any reason for it unless the Radi- cal brought them over ior the purpose of regis- termg them, and saw no reison why they should not act ina like manner. by drammin up ail the voters they could find. The Chafr hoped that they would gather them up, and was sorry that Mr. French bad not paid suffici- ent att a to the negroes, at the Long Bridge, the might detect them at the polls.
