CRURGIL. The Last Jodgment a Superstition—Lecture by Rev. Dr. Bellows. The “Last Judgment” was the subject of a dis- course by Rev. Dr. Bellows at this church last night. He took for his text Il. Cortnthians v., 10, and Acts Xvil., 30, 31, There was infinite tenderness and awe in the relations of the last judgment in the New Testament as the ultimate result of our career in Ife, and it is even referred to by Christ with great solemnity, The scenes described in the Scripture, ending with the awful sentence of everlasting pun- ishment or the bliss of life eternal, impressed a feel- ing of dismal darkness upon the imagination of the Christian world, as every word spoken ts to be ac- counted for in the day of judgment and we should feel the full sentence of a living God. Happily there was o variety, @ formal conflict, in the nar- ration of the Bible, One account says God is the Judge of earth and of all our actions; Corias, sente. saysthat the Father judgeth no man; in Becond Corinthians Uhrist is made to #it alone in the judg- ment seat, aud, according to St. Jolin, Obrist id that he had not come to judge, but to save; but that He Wore shall judge. tad aa 0 at head rg ont God, was depul iy Christ, He lett it with the ‘vor, ‘This doctrine of judgment appears very crael to those who are not sonatas with the true nature of the fatherhood of God, and ‘fis tender, forgiving eet oe asa noe sarone of this tenderpesa Christ, not forego ity as tne advocate of man, sald that the the Just principles of His religion, shail judge, Hence the passages in the Bible are mere figures of seen to convey this lesson, In the Christian light of the tae College of St. Francis Xavier. Lost evening a tecture was delivered in tne hall of St. Frapeis Xavier's College by the Rev. Father M. O'Connor, 5. J., the subject being “The Coming Genera! Council.” There was a large and apprecia- tive assemblage present, and throughout a very Jengthened and eloquent discourse the greatest interest and devout attention appeared to be mani- Seated. Nearly ail the faculty of the college occu- . seats in frontof the platform. The reverend lecturer commenced by observing that the call for the Ecumenical Council, to be assembled in Rome, and to be presided over by the highest in chief of the Catholic world had already been heard througb- out theland. The pastors of the Church were every- where preparing to answer the summons. The feel- ings of the Catholic people were deeply enlisted in the event, and although many knew little of the precise nature of the meeting they could Bot but feel convinced it must have impor- tant re” = id not claim to have any knowl- edge of the subject beyond what was within the reach of all, but, in view of what was passing around, it waa proper to do their part on an occa- sion of such importance. The Ecumenical Council might be said to be the highest ceney of the functions of the Church on this earth. he powers which God ve the Church woul: ere be united and for the noblest purposes, teaching the truths entrusted to them, awakening men to a sense of their it destiny and enacting the laws which the spirit of God has pointed out as mecessary for men’s supernatural welfare. The body of teachers and pastors organized by Jesus Christ will be there, and headed by the immortal soul which he breathed into it, and united by the links with which it would be weided together to make it the re cere ‘ a oe world. Such @ body was e highest an sense representa- tive. That representation was not derived from le id the members, but from its inherited rigut to teach and direct. After alluding to the words of St. Paul epee. Tepresentation by spiritual teachers, he went on to state that the resentation at the coming Council was far greater than could be derived age’ Seeman ta ei am ot Gon spread throughont wor! ie _deni- look to the Church as the source whence their ranks were recruited. God Him- self looked to it as the coampion of His glory in the world, and which lived in the spirit of His Son to carry out the work for which He came to earth.

The spirit of God would prevail at that council. The reverend gentleman then pro- ceeded at considerable length to dwell upon the deliberations of the Iathers and the important re- sults of their deliberations in dispelling the jheretical views which prevailed in inany portions of the earth, At the forthcoming council the Holy Ghost, who had been sént to teach the Aposties, would ve present, Prompting and control)! the movements, and the decisions atrived at by the pastors would be also His, for they would His instruments.

It would send down his name to posterity as one of the ype of the many great wen that had addrned seat. Although greater members could be ont as existing in other days as adorning the Church, tuere was not proba- biy a period of the history of the urch in which she could boast of a nobler spirit being displayed by the great body ot the Epts- copacy at than at this time in which we live, ‘and from their presence at the council there was algo reason to hope for important resuite.

Material views and interests were the only ones, or at jeast were fhe cinei ones that were followed and obeyed, and were promoted with a weal and success never reached at any former pe- riod. The reverend genticuian then animadverted with much force upon the present condition of society, which he considered very unsettied. He contended that the lietory of the Church was but a record of her struggles to carry ont the great princi- pair which she was established. She pad had battles with those who would fain have drowned her in the Ploga of her ohildren.

The reverend seman conviuded an eloquent and very theo- ical discourse amid loud applause. 7“ ST. PATHICK’S CATHEDRAL, Sermon by Rev. Pathor Starrs. At the principal mass yesterday the Rev. Father McGean oMciated as celebrant and the Very Rev. Fathet Starra, V. G., delivered the sermon. The foverend orator took as his text the gospel of the @ay—John xvi., 16-22—in which 1s containea the promise of our Saviour to His aposties that little while aud they should not see Him, and again a lit- tio while and they should seo Him,” and that they should sce Him again when their sorrow at His ab- @ence should be turned into could take from them, Father Sete dwett sa en i nr on it and point ous ting ous | 9 Tusde by our Saviour in soeaklug to ille dig | Dleaty” of “tin.” and frequently nineteenth century it matters little whether God, Christ or the Holy Spirit should judge. We have learned to unite the three into one, and all their qualities are triply embodied in ove. Ia this progress we have the most solemn view of the ath Caen. ‘The belief in the personal appearance of Christ was potent in past times and still 1s with many; but we, the speaker said, have given it up and have grown to @ higher and more adequate conception, that God’s jurisdiction and judgment seat had approxi- mated us, and that the law of the truth and the self- exacting judgment of the conscience is-our perpetual accuser and judge. We have thus adjourned the chancery of Goa trom heaven to earth, and we have judgment and execution the moment our offence 1s comunitted against the law. This may not be always apparent, a8 we are bad judges of other people’s hearts. Worldly prosperity ts often only a whitened sepulchre of prudential virtue and looks black within, The coming of Carist in His glory was the spread of the Gospel, the most potent element of civilization. Christianity influences every reform; it broke the chams of the servile race in this country, it battles against intemperance, and it it-sometimes fails, it is only temporary, as the world does not go back, and people should not be discouraged. Ancient dogmas and superetitions were the pinnacies on whica the world had hid Christ in disguise ; these are now crumbled to let Him down to earth, whither He had striven oe ht, The world piaced His k: jom in cloths, while it is in our hearts, removed judgment into futurity while it is immediate. We should not appeal to dogmas, therefore, but to Christ. He is not anti- quated, not conservative, not bound to old time notions, but young, living, and the enemy of every form of seif-rigiteousness and sleek decency. The tremendous leverage of the power of Christ on earth is not the God but the man Jesus, the God whom the Church and the world have so long made Him, was not for this world, but the Saviour was as Man. His kingdom is here, and under His footsteps the wor!d shakes. His personal character is the mightiest morai wrench, bringing down kingcraft, priestcraft, superstition, the ion of pretence and tradition. CHURCH OF THE HOLY SAVIOUR, Sermon by Dr. Carter. The evening services yesterday at the Episcopal Church of the Holy Saviour (Dr. Hawk’s Memorial), on Twenty-fifth street, near Madison avenue, were of a very interesting character. The sermon was de- livered by the pastor, the Rev. Dr. Carter. The preacher took as his text Hebrews xit., 22d, 28d and 24th verses:—“But ye are come unto Mount Zion and upto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels; to the general assembly and church of the firat born, which are written in heaven; and to God, the Judge of all; and to the spirits of just men made perfect; and to Jesus, the Mediator of the new cov- enant; and to the blood of soon ting, that speaketh better: than that of Abel.” The preacher said that he 8! nto what was a Catholic Church.” This Church was saved by Christ, and therefore could not be separated from Him, When Ohrist died the King of the Church died, and the structure upon which the Church was built was the cross. The Church included both body and head—the sheep and the shepherd—which were forever joined together. ‘What God had joined gether let no man put asunder.” Whether the Ep! copal idea of the Church was right or wrong was not the question to be discussed, for at any rate it s challenged the respect of ail reasonable men by continually preachip; and practising ts jogma, “I believe in Jesus C! it,” &c. As churchmen were holding the ‘ition of Christian soldiers fighting a war for the victory of trath, Te Church was Catholic in three particu- lars, namely, in time, in space and in penne but It was the preacher's intention only to speak of the former, The Catholic Church was not new, It was established efghteeh hundred years ago, when Christ died upon the cross, It was old and eternal, Some matters counected with it were mutable apd some immiuiabie. In the Christian Church lt was possible to alter and remove some things. Some things could be removed and the Church ie remgin, but move those matters which should be Immutable, and it wold be a church no ionger. The Cs dinances, the creeds es u only were imumutable; turgies, articles offices could be changed. What is ter the spirit of modern pr was safe while it only touched such matiérs as the latter; but no progress couid alter the Nicene |. The Church was not ewbarked in a voyage of scientif¢ discovery to find outa faith. The faith which it professed was ie vealed, and could not be discovered, How was the Churef t deal with those who thought it had out- grown ita faith? All that could be said was that those ‘who were outside that faith were qytside the Church. The Church could not bow down to such @ man, but out ol he must ee the Cg yop A Ad tween ristian je was o th wishe:! for aud prayed for; Far hettner creed, order i ir sacra- ment must’ be sactificed, as te result of such & sacrifice would be suicide. The reverend preacher then proceeded to speak of the catholig iight which must be given by the Church, and concluded with a personai appeal %o ail to cleave to the faith which was the @ wledged creed of the Catuolic Church, WUADAY HALL BAPTIST CHUICH, Rey. Sidney A. Corey on Habits. The Rev. Sidney A. Corey delivered his third lec- ture in his course to young men last evening at the church cornet of Lexmgton avenue and Thirty- seventh street, Subject—“Habits.” The text se- lected was Jeremiah xiil., 23—“Then may ye also do good who are accustomed to do evil.” The rév- erend gentieman, after considering habit in its general signification, proceeded to depict the evils which It fosters in the young until they become ma- ture in vice. Habit, says Paley, nine times out of ten cannot be distinguished from instinct, and this without doubt is the correct view; for, like the fours ef firet planted in the nourishing #otl, it feeds upon the passioria, Weaknesses of the child. ag the i f ie ay nd eats When fad shai on, tine coe hia etnias atever cull he first ony ie fer may ‘bo, whatever culture of ni sess, how much he » how inagy, horses he drives ee carriage.

PACTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH GF THE TRANSFIGUAATION. Sermon by Rev. Edward Botwood. The Rev. Edward Botwood last evening delivered @ very interesting sermon in this church upon the labors of the missionaries in Labrador ana the out harbors of Newfoundiand. The reverend gentleman took his text from the tenth chapter and twenty- ninth verse of St. Luke—“Who is my neighbor.” After detailing the privations and sufferings endured by the missionaries in the wilds of this innospitable country, the Rev. Mr. Bot- wood expatiated at some length upon the nature and the origin and exercises of love. 8 ie Good Samaritan! selects for our imitation in Is it not a faint resemblance of the lo com; lon Nazarene whom we call Saviour, who pours the wine and oil of redemption into the wounds of a dying world; who takes care of it, and who saya to each of us, ‘Go and do likewise?’ ecified for his enemies, Jesus’ love best answers the juestion, ‘Who is ms neighbor?” ng how Christ monished us to regard all mankind as tie sheep of God’s pasture, depend- ing on hig power and goodness and related to him aud to each other by inany endearing ties, he sald: “Far beyond our own circles and religious assem- blies stands the horizon of Christian love. It is whenever the halo of God’s love touches the haman race.” The reverend gentleman then drew avery touching picture of the many hardships and dan- on experienced by the missionaries in Labrador in their endeavors to — the gospel of Christ in that ice bound and sterile region. He spoke of # missionary living in a house aimost aestitute of furniture and far recioved from any other house, with no living being but himself in it for some six- teen months, ‘that his watch, the nearest approach to life he had, stopped. ‘There was the missionary living there m the wilds of Labrador alone, loving his neighbor better than himself, During the winter in this country the missionary 1s often compelled to perform long and wearisome journeys, travelling entirely with dogs or on snow shoes—the dangers, privations and hardships of such mode of travel being most imminent, owing tothe severity of the snow storms, wildness and dreariness of the country, and the miserable condition of the houses in which he has to pat eae He also pictured the missionary in summer without a@road or path to guide him, plodding alone over hill and dale, through deep wet bog, over rugged ciifts, or through thick and almost impenetrable bushes. He showed the missionary again on his journey in the stormy Stratt of Belle Isle, or on the wila atlantic. Ajwo how he had battle with the heavy current of some stron; and wide river, wading it in cold an frosty winds, or rowing hour after hour through the dark hours of storm and night towards some piace of safety. ‘The whole sermon abounded in incidents in missionary life of the most interesting and im- pressive character. The object of the sermon of the reverend gentleman was to secure the endowment of a college in St. Johns, Newfoundiand, for the training of missionaries for those dark and ene regions. In support of his nopest he set forth this strong apology, that multitudes of even our own fishermen visit Labrador every summer and depend entirely for spiritual Instruction upon the missiona- ries living there. CHURCH OF THE DIVINE PATERNITY. Sermon by Rev. Dr. Sawyer. In consequence of the contmued illness of Rev. Dr. Chapin, Rev. Dr. Sawyer, one of the oldest lights of Universalism in this country, took his place and preached from the sixth chapter of the Gospel according to St. John, twenty-eighth and twenty- ninth verses :—‘They said unto Him, ‘What shall we do that we might work the works of God?’ Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on Him whom He hath sent.” The preacher said that Christ, the day before he uttered these words, had wrought a miracle by feeding five thousand with five loaves and two smali fishes, and when the people saw that they proposed to take Him by force, tfnecessary, and make Aim king. Our Saviour, perceiving thelr design, withdrew, and secreted himself from them. Now the question thas putto the Saviour was a question which every Christian should put to himself and herself. To ail such questions, come whence they might, our Saviour would return but one answer:—‘‘This is the work of God, that ye believe on Him whom He hath sent.” Without faith we could do nothing; with it weecould do everything. Christian faith was the work of God. He kn any thought that faith’had no power and could accomplish nothing, and there were those who smiled at the notion of a Christian working by faith and being saved by faith, They told us they wanted to see and not merely to believe. They would reverse the Chyistian order, and work by right and not by faith. But in int of fact the infidel himself was obliged to live yy faith of some kind. We were always tending forward, and the man who lived only for the present hour—the man who would not attend with a thoughtful and earnest spirit to what lay before him—muight pass himself off for a philosopher, but he scarcely deserves the name of len differed perf widely in this—that the Chirtstain's faith a larger scope and embrac the whole range of his being and. life jan the be- lier of those not Ohristiaas gave credit for. If it was true—as ie language of the text clearly implies—that to Christian was the indispensable oapaig of our highest wel- fare; if it was true that the Gospel of JesuS Christ was the power of God unto saiv; 3 if it was true that the name of Christ was thé only name in heaven by which we could be saved, it then became important to know what the méaning of Christian- ity was, and it was all the more important now be- a such low grounds and made so @ of faith in a The preacher then proyeees to pe iy: & lucid description of trie Vuristianity, and closed his discourse by dwelling elaborately on the necessity of a firm faith in the Saviour as the only means of salvatioa. THE SP.RITUALISTS, Mrs. C. Fanvte Allyn at the Everett Rooms. At the Everett Rooms, Broadway, corner of Thirty-fourth street, was yestérday morning a large assembly of people calling thémséives Spiritualists, both men and women, with a sprinkilng of those not of the shadowy faith, whom cuflosity bad attracted. After singing, acCOmpanied by the flute and the piano, Mrs. Allyn, @ not very bad and a not very good looking lady, neatly booted antl apparelled in a bloomer costume of chameleon silk, stepped forward to a jittic stand at the front of the platform, where she took up several craps ef paper containing ques- tions upon which some of the audience wished to have poured the light of the spirit world, After the questions were read the speaker underwent a few contortions Of the eyes, which fnally were closed, whereupon she uttered a brief invocation and began her discourse, the subject of which was taken irom among the on of paper she found awaiting her on the desk, It was concerning the value of experience as the foundation of human growth.

Henry Ward Beecher preached before a very large congregation yesterday in Plymouth church, taking for his text the eleventh verse of the sixth chapter of Paul's Epistie to the Ephesiang—“‘Pat on the whoie armor of God, that ye may be abie to stand againat the wiles of the devi” The word srmor here #6 used tn a figurstive se ise, There was some- thing th vhe soldier's career that attracts tie admira- tion of man, while at the sane time the practice of war itscli is a thing to be abhorred.

Scripture does not commend war, but it uses the figures of war wo incite men to nobie actions. And the divine Teacher himself used wariike Ogures for the sake of endowing man with the vighest quality of manhood. Trath ie one of the highest qualities of maatood. And the time will be when truth will be proved to be bet- ter than deceit, and honor will be proved to be better than infidelity. ‘whe day will come when lies will be known to be like counterfeit bills that have been stamped on the face as counterfeit, The day will come when a want of honor in obligations will be kKuown as 80 base and Worthless that a man might as well attempt to pass @ pewter dollar as to pass himself off as an honest man. The time will come when generosity will be known 0o be better than stingincas. It is more blessed to give than to receive. The time will come waen men wii be reo! zed.

Every part of the animal nature will be reorganized and will be su- mely controlled by moral sentiment aud reason. ‘he moral sentiment will be carried into every part of human lite. Cnrst says to men, “Ye are the light of the world; ye are the salt of the earth.’ Instructing men is preserving men as salt ‘ves, We are God's soldiers to ‘ansform he world.

Dr. Gardiner. ‘There was a very fuir attendance at ga mass at St. James’ Cathedral, Jay street, Brookiynu, yester- day morning. Mass was celebrated by Rev. Father McSherry. The choir never acquitted itself in finer style than upon this occasion, the singing at the of- ferwory bemg particularly noticeable. The text chosen by the Rev. Dr. Gardiner, who preached the sermon, was taken from the gospel of the day ac- cording w St. John. After briefy dwelling upon its lessons the reverend speaker called attention to the fact that the Church celebrated to- day the feust of the patronage of St. Joseph, the 1os- ter father of the infant Jesus and the husband of the Blessed Mother. The life of St. Joseph was one which differed materially from the giowing examples of sanctity presented in the lives of other saints. His was one of toil for his family, care and solicitade, imbued with all the high sentiments of love, respect and admiration of the sacred charge committed to bim. In this bright exampie of the everyd: this holy man is found a model for every Christian father. As a carpenter he earned his bread or the sweat of his brow,” and thereby maitained his family. Our divine Lord, too, we are told, while quite a boy worked at the carpenter bench with bis foster father, thus adding dignity to and sanctifying labor. There were times, doubtless, then, as now, when the fluctuations of capital and labor were such as to deprive St. gooeph or er ment at his trade—times when that blessed family ‘were snbjected to the vicissitudes with which we s0 frequently meet in the cou of our own career. When suffering under fatigue toward the close of a long and arduous day’s labor in the efforts to earn a livelihood for those whom God has committed to your care, then, my dear brethren, bear in mind too that this gaint was ofven equally, if not more, ex- hausted by his exertion at his dally labor, and you will fod true coasolation. ioe holy family m deed, the true model of lomestic happiness for the Christian family and the correct pattern of virtue’s relationship. In conclusion the reverend gentleman took occasion to call attention to the laxity of fathers in their manner of setting ‘ood example to their families and teaching them the traths.of the Catholic faith. For this negiect or indifference they will assuredly have to answer be- ay the tribunal of their God.

THE MORMON MISSIONARY CHURCH. Peculiar Services by the Saints. There was an unusually large acvtendance at the Mormon Mission church, Williamsburg, yesterday, at all the services. President William H. Miles, formerly @ leading member of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Philadelphia, conducted the exercises, which consisted of music and brief extemporaneous addresses. A harmonious flute was used to “pitch” the hymns, and the vocalization by @ quartet Was very creditabie. Elder Black, a convert, from Clackmannanshtre, Scotland, delivered an address of peculiar force, during which he exhorted the Gentties present to embrace the “new kingdom.” He never Knéw what happiness was when belonged to the Kirk, an before he became a Saint he said the name of G stank in his nostrils, His profane harangue Sia not make a good Impression upon the minds of the Gen- Pe! ng the Galote appeared to be satisiied when su C the ‘incipal address, however, was deliy by Bilder ¥. te Sites He sald that the sixth ot the present month was the thirty- Fy anniversary of the foundation of the churen, vi 2 founded in 1830 by the het h Smii le h of th of the fare & vivid sketcl F Shy of the Sainte In Missouri, of the!

Mr. Elil- son, Who took his text from Proverbs, xxiv, 10, “If thon faint in the day of adversity thy strength is weak.” The preacher, having discoursed on the fall of man from his primeval character, de- veloped the subject into many practical lessons, Since man fell life is @ probation, and there is no robation without atrial. If every man at his en- ‘ance into business were certain that he would reach the goal of success what would be the result? Why, the great ordinance of Providence that evil shall be a large admixture in our nature would be defeated. The ae men of the world, the suc- cessful merchants for example, are those who have the least ideas of their accountability to God. Hence, adversity is ® part of the srest pian of Divine Provi- dence in shaping the destinies of His creatures, When @ man arises on the beautiful Sabbath morning and aves O0 tle joyous face of nature, instead of asking himself what are the needs atthe present tour, he looks forward to the troubles which may arise next week, next month or next year, and these heavy burdens he must bear while fortified by tie grace of to-day.

Much interest was Maulfested vy those present in the objects of the en- terprise, which are the spread of the Gospel in desti- tute portions of the city, to counteract the fast growing power of false religion and intidelity, and to devise and carry out sach measures as Will in- sure purer and better citizens and servants of the Most iligh. At the close a collection was taken up. Rev. J. C. Chatterton delivered tue third of acourse of sermons last evening in upper Library Hall, be- fore some sixly or seventy persons, adherents of the New Charch, or Swedenborgianism. The subject of the discourse was Redemption. The diference, he said, between the old and the new belief as to re- demption was that whereas the old idea was that it meant that we shou'd be saved from tie wrath of God, the new belief was that the intention was to save us /rom ourselves and our Internal enemies.

Dr. Dyer, of New York, preached from the text, “Bear ye one another's burdens.’’ He spoke of the value of an active, liv- ing religion, and said that although precepts were excellent and the maintenance of great principles necessary, yet the most successful ministers were those whose lives were the truest embodiment of active, practical religion. It was the duty of Chris- tians to bear the burdens of their fellow men, and particularly of the young, who needea help and who were battiing, friendiess and alone, for astart in life. It was also the Christian's flats to bear the burdens of his neighbor by affording reiigious help, consolation and guidance when they were needed.

Middletown. MIDDLETOWN, N.*Y., April 18, 1860.— Services at the various churches in this town to day were very largely attended, and were unusually interesting, at least at one church. For many weeks nothing has transpired to break the regalar rontine of preaching—each minister to his own ficck almost exciusively—until the anuouncement made a few weeks since that the Rev.
