At the half-past ten o’clock service the mass was cele- brated.by the Rev. Dr. Turner, and the excellent choir attached to this church discoursed some very fine music. The sermon was preached by Rev. Father Lennon, who took for his subject the words of our Divine Lord, from the Book of Holy Writ:— “It is necessary that«scandal cometh; but woe be unto him from whom it cometh.” By the sin of scandal, the reverend gentleman remarked, we un- derstand that it is an offence in which by’ word, action or omission of ours we occasion another's falling from Divine it is # besetting sin, and one which occasions the t= est evil, with the least remorse, among men. sins are generally committed in private, where they are not seen, and the t bh di ranegreenor jeep! and his feelings are wounded sorely at being found out.

Sermon by the New Pastor, Rev. mage. This church, which has been for several months without a pastor, extended not long since a call to Rev. 8. De Witt Talmage, of Philadelphia, which was accepted, He preached his first sermon yesterday though he has not yet been regularly installed as the pastor. He is a gentleman chiefly known in this vicinity as a lecturer. He has severai essential quali- fications for success in his calling which he has not failed to make the most of. Most audiencies would sit as patiently under a lecture of his as under that of any man you could name and show their enjoy- ment of it by as much laughter and as hearty ap- Dr. Tale He is about the medium height, has a good figure and a fine head; but his bearing—at least in the pulpit —can hardly be styled graceful. Preaching, obviously, ig not his best hoid; yet he has talents that will undoubtedly make him one of the celebrities among the Brooklyn clergy. An orator he is not, and indeed never can pass through some alembic far nt from any he has yet found. At present he pours them out upon his audience in a perfect flood, with the glitter of intellect but not the warmth the heart u them. His voice grates — the ear from its sound, It never softens. spelt comes over as you listen, first or last, such as ts felt at the utterance of the true orator.
