8 eee RELIGIOUS SERVICES. Contrary to anticipation, the severity of the weather yesterday did not deter the public, particularly “the church-going portion of it, from attending the services of those denominations towards which, by conviction or otherwise they are mést affected. The sacred edifices of the metropolis and its surrounding cities were ‘well filed both morning and evening, and the sermons generally were above the average in style and matter, Beiow ive notices of some of the proceedings had yesterday in our churches, &e. Opening of the Church of St. Rose of Li Sermon by Archbishop McCloskey. ‘The temporary edifice on Cannon strect, near Delan- cey, which is but the precursor of a grand structure to be erected by and to stand as a monument to the enter- priso and energy of the Rev, Father McKenna, was for- mally opened yesterday morning and dedid&ted tothe service of Almighty God in accordance with the rites of ‘the Catholic Church. At eleven o'clock the services of dedication com- menced with the ceremony of tho mass, performed by ‘the Very Rev. Father Starrs, Vicar General, assisted by ‘the Rey. Fatber Trainor, of the Transfiguration church, ‘as deacon, and the Rey. Father Healey, of St, Peter's, as sub-deacon, aud the ind‘spensable Rev. Father Mc- Inenny as master of ceremonios, In the sanctuary were ‘the Rev. Fathers Conron, of Staten Island; Clowrey, of St. Gabriel’s church, and Larkin, of the Church of the Holy Innocents, It is almost needless to say ‘that the edifice, capable of accommodating some five or six hundred persons, was crowded in every part, The Popularity of the pastor, aside from the number of de- ‘Votees belonging to the district, would have insured such a result. ‘At the appropriate part of the mass Archbishop McCloskey ascended the altar steps and read from tho Apocalypse, chapter 21, verse 3—‘‘And I heard a great voice from the throne saying: Behold the Tabernacle of God with men; and He will dwell with the: and they shall be His people; and God bimself with them shall be their God”? The reverend and venerable prelate then addressed the congregation as follows:—More than forty years ago, beloved brethren, I, as a youth, knelt before ‘the altar of old St. Mary’s church, in Sheriff street, then one of the three churches which wero the only Catholic churches in this great city. All these three churches—St. Peter’s, St. Patrick’s and St Mary’s— are no longer to be seen in the form and character whicb they then had. The venerable brick pile in Bar- clay street has yielded to the majestic and solid granite structure which now stands on its site, St, Patrick’s church became very much enlarged and beantified and recently, as you know, destroyed almost entirely by fire, bas assumed a new character and also new beauty in the renovated style in which it now stands, St. Mary's, in Sheriff street, true, was consumed by fire, and St, Mary’s, at tie corner of Grand and Ridge streets, now takes its place, Old St, Mary’s claimed as limits nearly all that portion of the city lying east of the Bowery. These ample limits were first curtailed by the Church of St. James, afterwards by St. Bridget’s, then by St. Teresa's and now by St. Roso’s. Mary’s, then, has been a fruittul and gonerous mother, and has already seen a numerous @(spring of churches spring up around her, looking to her with the love and vene- ration that children should bear to their parents, and mola ‘urn regarding her offspring with interest and ve, Aftor ing a glowing tribute to the well known charity which has loug distinguished the members of St, Mary’s congrogation, bis Grace went on to say that while the churches which have sprung up had retlectod honor on the mother be trusted that this, the youngest born, would not be behind the rest in manifesting trom tho Deginning to the end those virtues and that char- actor which distinguished them as members of St, Mary's, now that they were under the patronge of a virgin Who loved to houor St. Mary, aud whose heart Was as pare, and who was the first lower of the eburch, or, at least, the first saint enrotled on tho annais of the Church claiming America for hor birthplace—St, Rose, of Lima, You, beloved brethren, he said, have reason to rejoice not only in the reminiscences of the past, b’ am whdi you see before you. Your timple, humbie edifice, dedicated to the bouor and worship of Almighty God, cheers you not alone with what it gives and’ affords in the presnt, but with — the promises which it holds out for the futuro, This a8 but the beginning—tho seedling from which shail grow up a grander, more spacious and more noble edifice jm the course of time. You rejoice in it, and even of ‘those not in your district many are bere to-day to min- eir rejoicings witn yours; and I rejoice now or ‘er @ new altar is raised on which the adorabie Sacrifice isto be offered to Almighty God; whenever a new gute is opened to His holy sanctuary; whenever 4 Bow point of contact is made between this sinful world and the glorious haaven above; whenever a now strain is added to the glorious chorus of harmony which from the altars of the Christian Choroh in all parts of the ‘world is continually swelling up aud singing praises and Ahanksgivings to the Author of ail good; whenever a mew tabernacle is given to men where God shall dwell ‘with them, where He shali be their God and they shui be his people. Althouzb, as I said, here, for the pre: ent, you cannot boast or enjoy a8 beautiful an editice as ‘others are permitied to enjoy, stil you look forward to the day when it shall come, “Hore in this humble little church you are as rich m ali the great essential sources of ce aud blessings as any ocher.

A Response to Dr. Tyng—Sormon by Rev. R- 8. Ho association lately established for the maintenance? of law and order, and for the promulgation of the prin- ciples of the Episcopal Church, the Rev. R, 8. Howland, D. D., preached a sermon yesterday ovening, at Trinity church, entitled, ‘A Justification of the Principle In- volved in the Canon on Yarisb Boundaries.” It having been generally understood among tho religious com- munity that it was the intention of the reverend gentle- man to exconate his brother Tyng for his recent in- subordination in violating the church canons, a large Congregation assembiod, the members of which seemed Much edifled at the sly pokes and playful inuendoos Destowed on ths absent and reverend transgressor, Rey. Dr. Howland selected for his text, First Epistle of Paul to tho Thessalonians, fourth chapter, and part of the eleventh verso—‘Study to be quiet, and to do your own business,’” There are two questions, said he, which suggest themselves in respect to the canon on parish boundaries, lately under consideration, First, whether the canon was violated; and second, whether it isa righteous and judicious law, Upon the first point {shall not dwell, as I do pot wish to pass judgment on cases which come before thelr own proper tribunals, Allow me to say in starting, to remove mis- apprehension, that nothing is said in the canon about’ the places of worship of any of our fellow Christians, It is simply a question of discipline, and whether the act took place in a Methodist chureh or a Romish church, in @ city court house or in the open air, it does not affect the interpre tation of the canon, It is not a law which teaches our relations with the religious community. It treats only of the harmony that should exist between the clorgy of one and the same Church and the order of limitation under which they should exercise their func- tions, As there may bo differences of doctrinal op:nion and personal proferences, so it ty left with the Church of God to decide whom they will choose, what shall be the character of their teacvings, and undor what aspect the Church of which they are membors shal be represented in that locality, There are to be no wranglings between rival divines, ‘no array of altar against altar, pulpit against pulpit, and there shall be no opportunity alforded for mischiet mak- ing or egotistical display on the part of self-introduced preachers. St. Paul was aroused by the intrusion of unauthorized ministers, and some of his strongest ex- pressions are in denunciauon of the evils resulting {rom it, He complains of ‘false brethren brought in,” &c, He inveighs against those “who, desiring to be teach- ers, crept in‘o houses and led captive silly women.” He goes so farasto say to the Gallatians, “I would that they were e' cut off that trouble us He calls upon the brethren at Romo‘to mark them.” He tells Titus that y vain tattlers whose mouths should be stopped.” The idea of the canon, then, is one which logically proceeds from these representations of Scrip. ture, viz. that as the Church bas the responsibility tor the teaching within its own communion, 80 it must bave control over its preaching. Our Church claims, merely in establishing Doandavies, no control over the teachers of other religious societies or jurisdiction over their mem. bers, Our Church doos not, a8 the apostle tolls us, “undertake to judge them who are without,” but ‘tdoes, as every church must, maintain discipline, order and peace within its own timits, Our Ciurch does not forbid those “who cast out devils in Christ’s name, though they follow not us,” but it doos ree quire that those wno do follow us shall obey its common law. The Church, which sends out her mine isters to preach the Gospel, must not be charged with consuring her clorgy for preachiug the Gospel, when she merely arraigns them for overpassing resirictions imposed upon them When eh gave them authority to preach as her messengers. When Adam tasted of the fruit of the tree of life he was punished, not for the innocent desire of secaring that which would make lim wise, but for disobedience. If au enthusiastic belisver in Dr. Cummings were in a court of justic to prociaim tae advent he would be panishod, not for preaching the coming of Christ, but for interrapting the business of the court, If ® laymen were to rise in nis place in church and denounce the doctrine of his minister and to instruct the people im the Gospel as he understood it, you would condemn him, not for preaching the Gospel, but for the disturbance of public worship. If a man insist on entering into your parlor day after day and preaching the Gospol to you, you would shut your door upon him, not becansé he sought to preach tho gosp*l, but because your own sense of wrong required you to soso. Even so here, the whole ques- tion is one of obedience or disobedience. Look at the canon in another point of view and you will find that the practical stion 18, im most mstances, not whether the Gospel shali bo preached, but where is is to be preached; whether is is to be preached in a congregation whereunto the minister ia lawfully appointed, or. unto strangers over whom he has no pastoral chargo, and for whose views and religious in- atraction he is not responsible, Let us suppose the case ‘of achurch closed m the heat of summer, and the poor who cannot ave the city Wandering im search of the bread of lite, while the minister who is cure in this city is away, not necding or seeking rest, but putting 1ato exe- cution some peculiar chnreh theory of his own ond order to do 80, preaching for those who hi upon bis services and who are already aappilea * with, church officers,may not the Church properly step iu here with a canon and itudy to be quiet, and to do your own busine: Let us suppose that a fow extreme men wath particular theological tenets have sot their names to a doctment, jo which they cbarge that certain of their brethrey 1 nthe ministry do not preach the Gospel, that they preach what the apostle calls “an- other gospel;”’ and let us suppose that the newspaper organ of these extremists publicly asserts the right of those persons to preact the Gospel to thore over whom the clergyman claims jurstiction, may not the Churen step in and say, “Icannot tolerate such wrangling among brethren of one household; your charge is a very grave one, and when the apostle makes this charge he adds, concerning the guilty one, ‘Let him Your charge, theretore, is tantamount to saying, Mr. Blank, let bim be accarsed; he preached another gospel.” But such anathemas are not to be wantonly ich accusations are not to be spread broad. successor of St. Peter, the Pontif of Rome. That faith comes to us by hearing—boaring from the word of issued from the lips of the ton of God, who stood on earth a man like us and God also; the living, spoken voice from doubly inspired lips; our divine autbor, and by virtue of the commission which He received from His eternal father when Ho came to ba the saviour and texcher of men. The voice as it came from His lips has been handed down, and the life-giving word has sent forth echoes and sounds to the uttermost parts of the earth for all nations to hear it and for all hearts to be moved by the grace of God to bear it. It was a spoken word and not a written wor living voice which ‘was to romain forever. Heaven and earth shail pass away, but my word shall not pass. But when Christ went away from earth He ceased to be eon or be heard by men, How was the word to be heard, preserved and perpetuated for all times? Faith comes ries, How shall we hear untes re are teachers? low shali they teach wales they are sent? Christ nad a mission to teach on earth, and that mission ho transferred to his apostles when he said, “As my Father sent me, so also do I send you.” The same mission which I ‘received from my Father I give to you—"Go ye, therefore, and teaeli all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Fa- ther, and of the Son, and of the Aoly Ghost, teaching them to observe ail things whatsoever I have com manded you; and, bebold, I am withgyou all days, even to the consummation of the world.” The word then given was to endare forever, as the commission was to endure torover, The body to which the commission was given was immortal and to cxiat forever; and a tbe promise was given by Christ, “I am with you all days,” not only was the promise His, but the teaching was His, The apostles and their suc: weossore i¢ Was Who received the commission and vrai tse; but in teaching they were not alone, was with them and the Holy Ghost was with them, in eccordance with the promise of Christ—«T will send'the Moly Ghost, the spirit of trath, to abide with vou” ‘Therefore, being teachers, they wero to preach the word of God to all nations, ond the order was given to those who wore not teachers that they were to believe; they were mct to question; not te criticise; not to set vasolves up as judges of the word of God, but to Tision apa to bow down to the teachings of faith, “He that hoareth you heareth me; ho that despiseth vou desp.seth me, and Le that despiseth mo despizoth Hira that sent me.’ The wrilten word was not xtven by postles und Misciples unde 1 of the Holy Ghost.

The first of a serics of eormons under the auspices of the American Church Union, to be preached in the Episcopal churches of this cityon Sunday evenings during Lent, was delivered at Zion church, Madison ave- ‘nue, last evening, by the Rev, George F. 2eymour, D.D. The subject was “The obligation of observing Lent stronger than that which justifies Christians in keeping holy the first day of the week instead of the seven! The reverend gentleman took for his text the fifth verse of the sixth chapter of the Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians:—‘ ‘In stripes, in imprisonments, in tu- moult, in labors, in watchings, in fastings,” &c, The Speaker contended that there was more obligation on the part of Christians to observe the lenten season than there was for them to observe Lo first day ns sacred instead of the seventh, of what authority, by what warrant was Sunday inst tuted as the day to be kept holy instead of the seventh ? Simply because it was warranted a of tho Sposties and their successors, and re Was no com~ mand to observo the first day in Obie. ‘To be sure St. Paul had advised the Chri: is to take up collec. tions for the and the needy on the first day, yet notwithstanding the strict command of the Almighty, written by the ioger of God in the Oid Testament, keep the seventh day holy, and no command in the New Testament having superseded that command, Christians observed the first day and not the seventh. The practice of the apusties and thor successors from generation to generation down to the present time was the warrant for this observance. The same authority that warranted Sunday instead of Saturday as the day to be Kept holy, aday of rest, also commanded Chris- tians to keep the lenten season—that is, ail Christians who acknowledge the authority of the Chureh and do not strive to enter into a conflict with its practices and observances, Even those persons who contended that they observed no practice not sanctioned or com~ manded by the Bible observed the first day as holy, thereby perhaps unconsciously acknowledging an ecclo- siastical austerity. If the first day was observed for this reason, thon why not the lenten season for the game reason? In fact, the reasons calling for the ob- servance of Lent were stronger than those that changed the observance of the seventa day to the first, for there was no command of God to observe the first day, whereas the observance of Lent was commandod by His high authority, Ifone command of the Bible was acknow- Jedzed and obeyed all commands therein should be ac- knowledged and obeyed, Christians should accapt ail or nothing, one thing or the other. The Jew might ask the Christian by what. biblical authority he observed the first day as holy, and he might hesitate for an answer, whereas the orders in the Bible to observe Lent aro clear and plain, If Christians went by uo fixed pria- ciples they were children oi capricd, liable to be carried away by every wind and at the instigation of mere whims. Jonah spent a long time “in fasting, weeping and mourning.” In the Sermon on the Mount the Saviour ead, When ye fast be nO’ as hypocrites, of sad countenance,” &c., aid surely the Lord would’ not have given specific directions to observe a duty which he did not expect his disciples and their successors to observe, In the fifth chapter of St, Lake and in the parallel one of St. Mark it is recorded that tho Saviour said, “But the days will come when the bride-room shail be taken away from them, and then shalt they fast in.those days.” The Saviour meant ‘by ‘(bose days” the days in the years that would follow after Ho, the bridegroom, bad been taken away, “Those days” of fasting wero the soven weeks preceding Easter. The Saviour had intended bis words a3 a pro phecy and a commend, telling his disciples what would comé to pass and what might bedone, Moses fasted forty days aud Elijah the samo time, and both, eanc- tified by go long an abstension were allowed to converse op ihe mount of transfiguration with Him who fasted forty days and forty nights—they re. presenting the law and the proplicts. The Holy Scriptures enforced the daty of fasting, St. Paul wus “in fastings” often, In the tenth chapter of Daniel it is recorded: ‘In those days I, Dauviel, was mourning three full woeks; I ato no pleasant bread, neither camo flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did 1 apoint Ags atall, till three whole weeks were ful- filled.” ‘Tne city of Nineveh was about to be destroyed, but the peopte proclaimed and observed a fast, and the reward was that Nineveh was oe Cornelius, the centurion, fasted until the ninth hour, when an angel came to him and told him what he should do to become a Christi Fasting was always rewarded when dono in a true spirit of repentance, The speaker closed by referring to the fact that fasting taught us by our very natare in times of calamity, of sorrow, of sickness. ‘When in sorrow a man refused hia usual bread; when death was in a family, the family forgot their usual plentiful boara; when sickness befell a member of it, ‘and days and nights of watching was done, their hun= ger was forgotten, and exhorting Christians, to be sorry for their sins and in repenting for them, be like Si. Paul, “in fasting often."” Plymouth Church, Brooklyn. Yesterday morning the services in Plymouth church woro conducted by the Rev. Henry Ward Beezhor, After receiving several new members into his congre- gation and administering baptism to some adults, tho roverend gentleman having adverted to local mattors, commended to the consideration of bia audience an orphanage in Brooklyn which is under the care of the Right Rev. Dr. Loughiin, the Catholic Diocesan of Long Island, Mr. Beecher then road the fifteenth chapter of the First Corinthians as the lesson of the day, and preached from the second verse of the third chapter, First Epistle of John, Combining the mysterious aMinity botwoen these two poseages in tno sacred Scriptures, tho reverend preacher, in a brilliant discourse which tasted an hour, was listened to, as he always is, amid the breathless attention of his audience, Beecher preached to a ful In the evening Mr. In tho course of his sermon he said that in Canada nt other countries where lumber grew a groat many per- sons were engaged im cutung ‘he timber to a proper length, #’ripping off tho bark and rolling the lumber to the streams and rivers, whore it rormained piled up until the rains came and the freziets sent it down to its desti- nation.

That was verv good for jum! cr, but it would not do for human souls, This expression caused ,a movement of merriment among the congregation, who were reminded by the reverend gentleman that they must be always endeavoring to do God's work, and not waiting for som: ebance to wipe out their sins. If a man werea liar, a drankard, or a thief, and resolved to reform himenlf, he would not have done his work unless he ceased not only to lie, to drink, to ateal, but to tell the trath at al! times, to be temperate, and strictly honest, It was impossible for any man to live a nezaiive kind of existenee. | Gam- dlers, liars and drunkards pinnged into their vieos not ‘up to their elbows merely, but up to their necks, If men set ail their satis to serve the devil, thev oucbt, at when they became penitent and ‘sorry for their all their sails to ferve God, To do this they must not only cease to do wrong, but act right.

The reverend gentleman took for bis text the words found in the sixteenth verse, third chapter of the second Corinthtans:—‘‘Nevertheiess when it shall turn to tho Lord the veil shal) be taken away."’ He began by say- ing that he was about to talk in a simple way of sim- ple truths, and asserted that no man has reached the full status of manhood.

His argument was that charity was the foundation of the Church and that it originated from God, ‘The man who thinks he loves God and bates his neighbor lives in the midst of darkness, The lov of God and the love of our ighbor are inseparable. natural and superaatural love Was explained at fength by the bishop, and he brought his eloquent discourse to s conctusioa by a refutation of the common error that Catholic charity was of a con- tracted nature, The proceeds of the lecture will be de- Voted to the five free schools of the parish established by Father McDonaid. THE SPIRITUALISTS AT DODWORTU HALL. Dr. Bullock Expresses His Opinion on the Subject of Shams. From week to week at Dodworth Hall audiences dwindle and taper off in nearer approximation to no- body-1sh proportions; while the First Spiritualists’ Society struggles on in vain effort to maintain its foot hold as an organization, though since the departure of Miss Emma Hardinge with rather less success than be- fore, Even the admission fee system (of ten cents per head) has been abandoned, since it was of no use to attempt to collect fees where there was nobody of whom to collect them; and at present things have an im} ¢- cunious appearance, which extends even to the con- gregation. It has always been so with great reformers— the genluses of manners and morals, politics and reli, gion—and people who have most ideas in their heads are often found with the least greenbacks in their pockets. It ig ono of the misfortunes of people with ideas tnat they are often compelled to eke out their overcoats and pan- taloons from that peculiar thoroughfare which leads from the City Hall to the Bowery; for, though Mr, Emerson is of the opinion that all currency ts simply ideal and ropresents iaeas, it unfortunately otten hap- pens that the currency is often more valuable than the idea it is supposed to represent, besides being vastly more available for busincss purposes, Ideas, though the very basis of coin, and torty per cent more valuable than greenbacks, will not save ono from seediness of exterior; and, as many a reformer bas found out to bia cost, are not even current for one’s breakfast, Engaged even in great works of reform ono must not forget bread avd butter. Bread aud butter is the great motive power of the world—the mainspring of all progress—and to speak of progress or reform without bread and butter is like campaigning in the enemy’s country without a commissary department. It the basis of the moraiist’s moral- izing; for bread and butter the poot manufactures bis divine dogxerel; tor bread and butter the clergyman jooks reveread and talks metaphysics; tor bread and burter the philanthropist invents scuemes for the amo- lioration of iho condition of the poor; for bread aud butter the doctor prescribes or the quack quacks you to oath; and for oread and butter ihe sad-faced sexton buries you—i short, bread and batter is the basis of ail progress and the motive of all professions, from the clergyman, who saves sins for the consideration of bread and butter, to the undertaker, who takes a solemn delight in providing one with a coffin, because it is his bread aud butter, and the sexton who moves about the earth ia weeds, bocause it 1s bis bread and butter. In fact, in bread Und butter we live and move, and in bread and butter nave and sustain our being which seems to be sadly neglect First Spirimatists? Society of the city York, whose apparent contempt of — bread and’ buitee and their apparent endeavor to demonstrate by their daily lives that one can live with- out it—tho simgular pronoun is used because, though grammatically two, logically bread and buttor are one thing only, and ought never to be regarded separately — are simply heroic, Heroes of reform they are, every ‘one of tnem; but even heroes have been known to fail of subsisting respectably on heroism; and heroism, thongo graad and tragic and excellently adapted to dra- matic effect, is o.ten of no avail without bread and but- ters acommissary department. These few romarks are put forth by way of advice to all reformers not to neglect the commissary department. Poor human nature, though tho most heroic thing ox- tant, must have its internal revenue of bread and butter at least three times a day, or it is lable to lose ite capacity for heroism, And with this crumb of perti- nent advice, 1t is to be hoped that vie spirits will taxe to mending the impecuniosty of the faithtul. Thus far by way of preface, whicn ought to be to that whichgfollows what the cork is to the bottle, Dr. builock—whether reverend or otherwise mattereth not—lectured the Spiritualists last evening at Dodworth Hali on the general subject of shams, a subject vastly relevant to the occasion. The audience was alter hil- ton’s ideal 19 the matter—viz, fit though few; and whethor most fit or most few it might have puzzled tho spectator to decide, The fitness was certainly emphatic enough, and if it was exceeded in emphasis by anything else it wax due to the fact that the fewness of the audience was more emphatic still. Upon entering the first thing that impressed tho spectator was the gonoral baidness of the heads of tne assembiage, though it is one of the tendencies of profound thought to induce baidaeass, and mea of ideas must really be forgiven should the beat ot intellectual inspiration bi singed their cianiums of ‘At the desk Jolied a short gentleman. not quite as bald as the rest, whose proportions, similar to those of the celebrated Wouter Van Twiler, might have reminded the spectator of a colossal frog seated bolt up- right, had the spectator been of hamorous inclination and in a mood of suficiont wickedness to make light of the personnel of an apostle of reform; aag, anon, the wan rose from his seat and, waddling ‘ho desk, stood still for a moment with an imposing gesture which was meant as a warning to all whisperers to keep ‘mum’ as a mommy, At this juncture had the forementioned spectator continued in mood of irreverent wental comment upon the appear- ance of things that same spectator would have been likely to mutter to himself, “A frog standing on its hind jegs—a huge, colossal frog.” The spectator was not there, however, and consequently nothing of the kind ‘was either thought or mattered. “I want to read you @ portion of Iealah,’’ croaked the frog, or said the Doctor; and the Doctor was permitted to read 1t, the bald heads of ho audience in the mean- time glistening most oriliiantly asthe gas was turned fully on. ‘Ta od to carry out the analogy th uphited paw of the fell at the same time. ‘Tain sick unto death of burnt sacrificos and bullocks,? said tho Lord,” thus read on the Doctor, while the audience wore left to reciprocate the sentiment con- corning bullocks, or,pot to reciprocate, as best suited them. Some few probably reciprocated, though none of the exceedingly faithful manifested the sligutest com- prehension of the present applicability of the passage. Hence the Doctor proceeded to exegesis, He intended, he averred, to discuss the general ject of shems. There was’ shan religion and si sham religion kept building bosp! and aims: houses, al sham democracy was now butiding Tammany Hall, while republicanism was compoticd to take to attics aod corner groceries for the holding of political meetings, Sham retigi to carry on its fummery, while they (that is Dr. lock and the Hlyemr) were compelled to resort to Dodworth fall, and could bardly atford to pay for that Hospitals were tue shame of religion, the outcroppings of ita age of sham ; and in the days of its parity religion had no need of nospitais, In those days every man was lke the good Samaritan—viz., bound up the wounds of his brother, took him to the nearest place of safety, inn or otherwise, left him in good care and promised to pay when he caine back; though whether the benevo- Jeot Samaritan ever came back and Mapes the bill is not stated in the parable, and, henee, the parable is not ap- plicable to present inn-keepers, who seldom trust strangers oa such terms, The Doctor proceeded:—Sham was up for judgment, and to-day was its jud, of the ‘enate was reat show.
