Grant Stricken QOut-The Double Game of the Radicals. A fow days ago republicans in Albany mado a move- mont to start @ “Grant and republican’ club, At the meeting the name “Grant”? was strickon out of the title of the club, whereupon one of the suarp-tongued radical organs in Albany pitches into the authors of this indig- nity as follows: — Who moved to strike out Grant?

Charles B, Smyth. Yosterday afternoon the Rev. Charles B, Smyth de- liverod the second of his serics of popular Sunday aft noon lectures of the winter of 1868, at Bunyan-Hal!, nouncing as the subject of his discourse, “The Pope, Popory, Protestautigm and Priesteraft; or the Popery of Protestantism and the Protestantism of Popery.”” The services were inaugurated by the reading of tho 103d Psalm, after which the reverend goniloman offered up an appropriate prayer, especially invoking the Divine guidance ior the President, Congress and the subordinate officers and branches of the government, and sclected as the scriptural basis of bis remarks the third Soventh chapter of the Gospel of St, Matthew :—‘ beboldest thou the mote that is ta thy brothor’s ©, aud considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye.” Aftof a few itroductory sentences the lecturer stated that the text presented forcibly (o our minds the necessity of fire: aeoing that we had fread ourselves from the offences which we were prouo to sve in and impute to others, and wos pecutiarly applicable to religious dis. putationists and clerical controversialists. He then pro- egeded in ap cloquont manner to show wherein tho Priaciples of Popsry and those of all other Christian churches differed and were trreconciladle, founding his argument on this poins upon the creed of Pope Pius LV. but more particularly upon tho twenty-third an twenty-fourth ar.icles of that instrument, and arguing that priestcrart had set itself up for @ purpose of accomplishing its own ends, even at tho sacrifice of civil and religious Lborty, In conclusion he alluded to the fact Uiat there were in this metropolis three hundred and sixty-four clergymen, ana that with but few exceptions their names were hardly heard of outside their congregations or imme- date circles of friends, This was a singular commentary, ho contended, upon the responsibiitty which rested upoa taom of rectuiming the tuousands around them from the errors of the world and leading them toa life im- mortal. But it was useless to oxpect anything from tho clergy until the people aroused them from the apathy into which they uad fallen by boidly asserting and de- manding the rights due to tuem, and, ag in the state, so he believed in the church, the people wouid surely seek and obtain the freedom ‘and immunities which were theirs, ‘ihe exercises were brought to a close by the pronouncing of the benediction, In the evening the lecture was repeated at the samo place to a fair audience.

Charity not through haman sympathy morely, uot for rpose of gaining praise, honor or renown, but be- 80 Christ has wWentitied himsor with them, Because He fed on their scanty fare, a and privations; end because we do for Him, Oh, what a grand tacle was that prosented by the first Christians, when the beliovers Woro ali of ona heart, ail auimated by one motrve; when everything was shared in common; whea those who were rich sold their iands and distributed the pro- ceods among the poor! St, Clement, who was a near successor of Peter, the Prince of the Apostles and the firat Pope, tells aa thai he knew many who, go great was their cbarity, even gave themsetves as prisouers to re- a ptivity those held in siavery, and the early fathers tell us of some who sold themseivor as in order to pro- poor, he the ravages of the Roman empire, he third center A Hl alone showod that they possessed th of charity. They eviuced it by tending the sick, ccoring the the afflicted and burying the dead. And these works of mercy were performed for those who were their perse- cutors, who stripped them of all worldly goods, put them to exquisite torture and condemned them to death as malefactors and felons because they professed the faith. The whole spirit of th Church was enteted im this work of charity, St. Lawrence, when adomand was made upon him to give up the chalices and costly vossols of tho church to the persecutors of the faith, sold them, the proceeds to the poor; and when the au- thorition pressed the demand, arraying these poor hofore thom, he sud, “You agk for the treasures of the Church; behold here they aro, In the persons of the poor.’ Butimafter times, whea persecution ceased, and the Charch had ouiit up ® mew and subiime civilization, charity was free to act and the glory of Coriatianity was vindicated, Those who wore wealihy adopted poverty voluntarily, Rank, station, beanty and wealth wore freely sacrificed by these ardent Christians in order that they might consecrate themselves to the service of the poor; and in — thus thay thought not that they were degrading th ives; rather they con- red themselves honored, they «a “4 ‘up the Trams beonosein Sy.npatulgng wid Aap Lode came sympathizers with Christ Himsolf.

The Archbishop then spoke of the philanthropy which distinguished many Protestant peo- ples, avd claimed credit for it as a human virtue, but it was not the real Christian charity, Ho slluded also to the rise of the confraternity of St. Vmeent do Paul, which 1s especially devoted to works of charity, aud closed is remarks with a touching appeal to his hearers to be ready and willing to give at ail times of their moans in aid of Christ's poor; not from motives of mere human sympathy, but for Christ's sake, for that only which ts given to the poor from motives of real suarity vi avail unto eternal salvation at the great accounting ay.

The Rev, Isaac Ferris, D, D., presided and delivered an introductory address, in the course of which he said;— “There is a great work to be done for Christ in this city, A great deal is being done, ond there is much consola- tion and matter for congratalation in observing the many evidences prosentod on every sido that the people \ of God are awaking to thelr work and, notwithstanding ‘that tho city has been called a sink of iniquity and corruption, earnestly engaging in its performance. Tue Sunday school Union feels the importance of the mission before it.

E. P, Rogers delivered an address, presenting iv eloquent language and with much forco the import. ance of this branch of missionary labor. Revigion, said by, isan active principle; it is the duty of every Chrive tiun to work forchrist. From sixty toseventy thousand chiidren ia this cily stand ia need of reiigious imatruc- tion, and to supply this need is the object for which the Sunday School Union was formed.

The only remarkable feature in the coucort was @ grand piano duct played oa two grands by Messrs. Pease and Coiby and composed by the former gentleman, It was a fantasia on the “Grand Duchess,’’ and by far the best that has been heard this scason, Mr. Pease has given us a brilliant, artistic and delicately woven transeription of Olfenbach's opera. ‘The work commences with the “Sabro de Mon Pére,’” and suddenly breaks oft into the song of the regiment, which is elaborated a /a Gottschaik in the most sparkling and effective manner, The trindisi of the last act, the canan and the *‘:apre de Mon Pere" are cleverly brougat in, aud receive ali the briliant ornamentation they call tor. The transitions are splendiily managed, and @ clear, artistic, coheront work is consequently produced. Dir, Pease’s work is the only good transeription of this popular opera that we have hear this season. It was encored and responded to by @ duct in Gounod’s “Bercense," which was also a very meritorious work. Mr. Bowlor sang a very \wappropriate song from “Mari. a,” although it favorably disptayed his beaut tenor voice. Tho other persons who took part in the Concert are not deserving of favorable montion, for the singing and violin and organ playing were noi worthy of conceris of such calibro as the Steinway Hall sunday concerts have hitherto been, The second musical soirée of the Liederkranz Society took place last night at their beautiful hail on Fourth sureet.
