8 RELIGIOUS. Sermon by Bishop Simpsor, Before the President and Fymily at Long Br?ach, Henry Ward Beecher on Trv‘ch and Politics. i Rev. ‘The «ommer vacation in fashionable society being now {n full progress fashion nas to a large extent abandoned the city, and the consequence 1s that the churches have temporarily gone out of fashion, and many of them are “closed for the season.” And in many minds, also, only unfashionavle persons now attend the home churches, and Arabella and Charles Augustus, even if in town, would not have dared to go to church yesterday, for fear Mrs, Grundy woald have said that they couldn't aiford w go tw the Springs or the seaside. Yesterday Bishop Simpson preached at the Cen- tepnary Methodist charch, Long Branch, the Presi- dent and family being among the congregation. Rev. H. W. Beecher also preached his farewell ser- mon, prior to the vacation, and reports of these, With other interesting services, will be found below, ELEVENTH STREET PAESBYTERIAN CHUICH, Sermon by Rev. Churtes B. Siayth. The congregation of the Eleventh street Presby- terian church, beiween Second and Third avenubs, 1s steadily increasing, thanks to the persistent la bors of the worthy pastor, Rev. Charles B, Smyth, At the morning service yesterday this neat littie edifice Was comfortavly filed, and afforded a striking con- trast in that respect to the more fashionable places ©f worship, in which, at this season of the year, pastors, hired singers and professional organists have to go through their respective performances before a “beggariy array of empty benches.’’ Taking the parable of the debtors as his text (St. Luke vil, 44, 42, 43), the Rey. Mr. Smyth held forth in lis remarkably earnest and peculiarly eloquent’ manner on tue sablime desson therein contained. He illustrated the meaning of tac parable by speaking of the deity as @ generous creditor, and showlug that through sin all Lumanity 8 Indedied tu him, Some owe, as it Were, to the amount of Ove hundred pence, and otuers bul Hity—not one, however, but is indebved. By the precious biood of Christ the debdt oi sin wito Which humanity was byrdeved by the transgres- blons of our frst parénts was cancelled and e: pupged from the ledger of God, the Father~God, the generous creditor, who, findiug we had not the Wherewitual to pay, frankly forgave us. Having ted simon, the Phartsee, of the creditor who forgave his two debtors, the one five hundred gud the other fitty pence, Jesus asked, “Well me, therefore, whitch of them will love him most :” Simon answered rightly, “He to whom he Tergave most.” lu proportion, then, to the enor- wity of the sias we have committed and for which ‘we must some day or other implore forgiveness ahouid be our love for God. The preacher lamented ‘that be, too, was @ sinner, and likened himself in is capacity as pastor to an officer encouraging hus men in battle, “I have not genet the victory of fo: giveness,” be exciaimed; “I am stall Sighting the hight, the great Hignt agalust the craits and power of the devil, but 1 am commissioned to lead you on, to eucourage those who faiter, and, as the officer waves hissword aud urges his command to the oharge, I wave the anuer of faith before you aud cry, Come on! Forward, to repentance.’ ” ‘The reverend preacher concluded his stirring dis- course with some very forcible remarks on the rash- Hess Wild Which some people make professions of faith, only to recant in fear aud trembung when the hour of trial arrives. Peter was one who grossly overestimated is strength in this respect. When Christ was betrayed he denied his Lord and Master tbrice—swore tuat he knew him vot—and in so doing, in ail propsbility, made use of much such language as we heur ia the present day—for in- BStauce, Peter May have exchhimed, *'1’ll be damned if 1 know enytitng about hun! or, “On iny soul L don’t kKuow the man.” But in the absence or nis exact woras we have Peter’s example, aud that is Suilicient to warn us against relying too much on our oWnstiength, By fuitu only cau we merit for- giveness. ZION CHUACH, Mewmort Services=Sermon by Bishop Southgate. A very meagre congregation assembled yesterday Morning at Zion church, corner of Thirty-eighin street and Madison aveuue, to attend the memorial or testival servicea tn honor of the memory of the Apostic St. James, The usual morning service was had according to the ritual of the Episcopal Church, the High Charen system predomi- mating. The choir, which sang all the re- sponses, paailms and hymns, instead of the congregation, was very good, especially the soprano to the baritone, though the former betrayed some tremulougness in the golos. The sermon was deiivered by Bishop Southgate, the rector of the church, and he took for hia text the Gospel for the day, which was the twelfth chapter of the Acts of the Apostics, wherein it is written, “And at the same time iierod, the King, stretched forth ois hands to afflict some ot the Church; and be kuled James, the brother of Jonn, with the sword.” The reverend gentieman said that in the few minutes allotted to the sermon in the services of the day he could hardly do more than refer to the condensed noves of the life 01 St. James, the festival of whica aposue they were cailed together by tie Church to celebrate on the oth day of J t There were two of the same name. One tg called the Greater, on account of seuiority of age, the other the Lesser, who wrote the epistle and was Bishop of Jerusalem. St. James the Greater was the Apostle whose festival was now being celebrated. He was tue brother of St. Jobn ‘the Evangelist, He was but little kuown, yet he was the earliest to be ealled to apostolic duties by the Saviour, atthe Lake Gennesareth, He left all—bls family, his parents, his trace of a Osherman—and went with the Lord. Hence the Church teaches us that we should follow his example avd jeave all woridiy things for the Lord, and fo.low bis commandments above secular occupa- tions. But yet, though he was an Apostle, he nad human feelings and passions and faults. As Jesus Was journeying to Jerusalew be was refused hospi- tality In @ village of tue Samaritans.

This was even under the tmme- diate influence of the Lord Christ. Such passions are worldly, but Christ said, “Ye know not; oi What can ye be baptized with, the baptism with which I am baptized?’ which was the baptism of bivod and death. There was no denanciation in Mus rebuke, but deep wisdom and significa nt gentie- ness, James was one of the Aposties on the mori InUmate relations with Christ, He was present on the mount with Peter and John when tue Trans- figaration took piace.

Henry Ward Beecher Preach his last sermon prior to the summer vaca- ton. There will be services every Sunday during the vacativa ta the church, different ministers oftici- ating during the pastor's absence in the country, ‘The preacher read aa his text the nineteentu chap. ter of the book of Acts commencing with the twenty- third verse, He said this was a history of proround interest to us. If Paul had preached moral truth so that it Would not Lave touched men’s practical af- fairs, he might have gone on to the Present day without producing any effect.

No, but it might aduite- rate it, Where the selfish motive was the stronger, and conscience was used as a varnish or a cloak, that was contemptible and hypocritical. lt was very evident that Demetrius lad a good deal of self-interest in his religion; but yet he was hota very bad man. We found this all tarongh society. Nothing was more common than the hanging out of one mouve on the outside and Keepiug the other in to turn the machinery. He was bound to preach peaceably if he could; but if the community did Jet it-be peaceable it was their own look out. But thé young sQopkeeper aud the pawnbroker did not like that style of preaching the Gospel, becanse it might interfere in their busiees 1k Was $assID Rome, “We are descendants of Peer and Paul, besause we reform the world—we bring ltght where there is darkness, He had no objection to bishops.

CENTRAL METHODIST CHURCH, WILLIAMSBURG, Sermon by the Rev. Mr. Adams, “The coin 1s spurtous; nail it down.’ So John Littlejohn used to say on all sorts of octastons. So John Littlejohn would have said of the generic fashionable sermon, of the generic fashionable clergyman and the generic fashionable congrega- tion, Is humanity all feathers, and no flesh and bones? Fashionably speaking, of course it is; and 80 it is a sort of comfort to creep into a pew in some non-Filth avenue spot, where one’s feathers are not noticed, and hasten to a sermon that means some- thing more than pretty metaphors, rounded of in the latest fashion of rhetoric. A little body in your discourses and less feathers, gentlemen of the Surplice, if you expect to control the men or even the woinen of the century; if you expect to mould or have any part in moulding the thought of the age. Religious confectionery Is excellent for dessert, but one cannot make a whole meal of it; and in ¥o far as the Methodists are really sturdy and scripiural in their religious manhood, in that far they have more influence over the thought of the age than the parlor knights that infest some other denominations, They draw ful if not fashionable audiences; and, really, one soul is about as valuable as another in the quotations of the religious price current. So, notwithstanding the weather, which was in uself a standing appeal for palm-leat fans, the congregation at the brick structure cor- ner of Filth and South Fifth streets, Wu- liamsburg, was yesterday morning about as large as usual, Tne house was full,.chough not congested, ana the services were conducted by the pastor, not- withstanding the fact that the period of vacation has already begun. A cool, frescoed nook of a place within, thouga pare and bricky enough exter- the building is, of @ not day, as really a re- ator of @ place as, in the “Tale of the Two the residence of poor Dr, Monette was an ear of aplace, in which everything was heard of be- fore it occurred; and the forenoon went oif as “com- {ably as did the poor beggar in tue odd story of an English tramp, After singing, reading and prayer—the former being joined in by the congregation, as also the latter to the extent of a few muiflied responses—tne Rey. Mr. Adams, pastor, announced his text from the gospel according to St. John, always, and justly 80, regarded by Methodist clergymen as the pro- foundest and most keen In its insight into the ideal life of all the gospels. ‘The text wi “Verily 1 say unto you, the corn of wheat, except it fall into the earth and die, abideth alone. But if it die it bringeth forth fruit.’ The speaker began with a brief exposition of the simile included im the quotation. Tue Saviour seemed aiways to have His eyes fixed upon the tinal termination of His earthiy career. In this case cer- tain Greeks had called upon the Disciples to inquire about the wonderful Instructor, whose fame had slready gone abroad, and had been by the Discipies brought In personal contact with the Master. In the conversation which ensued occurred the words of the text, as transcribed by 8t. John, In all na- tore, the speaker went on to say, death seemed to be but @ preliminary to life, Out of death Ife was one of the principles eternally illustrated, in the round natural phe- nomena. The corn of wheat fell into the earth aad died; but out of that death sprang a multiplied life and a bringing forth of hving fruit; ana except ‘he grain of Wheat should die it remained forever unproductive, It might be left to Me tn the granary lor years and tt was nothing—never could be any- thing—except a single kernel of wheat. Put it in the earth and a death took place, involving the res- urrectioa to @ nobler life and the bringing forth ot fruit; and ip thisslaw of death out of life was found one of the most instructive similes of nature—a sim- tle with which the Saviour was accustomed to illus- trace the profound spiritual probiem of his mission, From this exposition the speaker proceeded to draw out the thesis o1 his discourse, viz:—the death to sin, otherwise definable as the death to seif. Sacri- ficiaily speaking, self Was generally used in the sense eltisnuess, and in this sense the apostie spoke of fixtou of self, which was equivalent to the crucifixion—the mortification of the putting oi of the od man. In this sense also was drawn out the antitnesis between the old man Adam, who was made a living sou), and the new man Adam, who was made a quickening spirit, In seil— that 1s, seifishtiess—therefore, was found the root and source of sin; and hence the radical- ism of the Apostles in insisting upon the puttiug off of the old mag and the putting on of thenew. This constituted the death to sin sg freynentiy advocated by the Apostles as a radical part of tne religious life. There was a sort of Invoiuerability about the sath vo sin which had a tendency to promote hap- plness—for there was no happiness like that of the sinking of one’s will im that of the Divine Master, and probably the most dificult part of the Lord’s prayer to be adhered to in heart was, “Thy will be done on earth (and in me) as it 1s done in heaven.” if under all circumstances the follower of the Saviour could repeat these words with ail the heart thea, mdeed, hau the death and sin taken place and the new upspringing to holiness of ile had aiready begun in tue kernel of human wheat. The speaker [rom this outiine proceeded to enforce the lesson of the text with apt metaphor and simile, rising here and there into the forvidness of earnest and natural eloquence, and enumerating with pointed ei the symptoms of the worldly jie not dead, but only dormant tn the heart. If one could pot bear to hear evil spoken of himself, to be of no reputation, for the sake of doing mght, then the old man was not dead. if one could not endure to hear others praised without putting in some qualifying phrases, tuen he might be sure that there was not yet an utter death to sin in his heart. If the old passions of envy and malice and covetousness were strong within him then the old man was still uppermost, and the kernel of wheat of the old man must yet fall into te earth and die that the fruits of meekness and patience and love might be brought forth. E ‘The speaker concluded with an eloquent perora- ion, THE COLLEGE OF ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST. Laying of the Corner Stone Yesterday in Brooklyn. The corner stone of the Catholic college of St. John the Baptist, Brooklyn, was laid yesterday by Bishop Loughlin. Tbe ceremopies, which were very {mpostiig, did not begin wntil Ave o'clock in the evening, by Which time an immehse number of spectators had congregated in the fleld adjoining the plot on which the college ig beng built, while even the plot itself—which ig sitdated between Lewis and Willoughby avenues, near Stuyvesant—was overrun by crowds, that were numbered by the hundreds, long before the Bishop had arrived on the ground, The ceremonies, wien they were opened, consisted of @ procession of priests, at the head of which was the Hisbop himself, and the usual formailties pre. scribed by the Catholic ritual for the consecration of an edifice, The stone was a small of brown stone, and when the time came for plsctn it in po- sition @ tin box was fltted into tt, containing @conv of the New YORK HERALD and @ Brookiyn paper, several coins and the following document: Po?

He contended that without religion science would be ignorance, and that the man whose heart had not been educated so well as hia mind was an evil that society should ari = against. ‘The more a man’s mind was educate|, ne beileved, while his heart was allowed “to roam wildly avout without a guide or an instructor,” the more danger- ous did ne become, After expatiatwe at great length on the fact that the Cathoiie Cuurcb did ail ip jus power to educate the heart as well as the mind, taught its children that they haa more to live for than what this earth could give of enjoyments and pleasures, the speaker closed by eulosizing a cer tain country, which he argued bad always shown by its theories and practices taal science, jomed to re- gion, not only Jost nothing of its weigut or power, but attained its full growth and strength under its gemiai induences, Whe couege, when completed, will consist of a main building and three wings, and will cost about $100,000.

Lone Branou, July 25, 1869. The Centenary Methodist Episcopal church was the centre of attraction this morning to the charch- going portion of the visitors at the Branch, notice having been given at the yarloug hotels that Bishop Simpson, whe most eloquent orator in the Methodist denomination, would occupy the pulpit, Last even- ing the writer aided the Rev, J. B. Grau, through whose indefatigable exertions a commodious and beautiful editice has been erected here, in looking up the President to tender htm an Invitation to be present at the Centenary church. Our efforts were crowned with success at a late hour, and a pleasent interview with General Grant was the re- sult, It must be remembered that the Presi- dent is an ofMice-holder in the Methodist Church, and all hia afiiliations and sympathies are with this branch of the Church, so that my friend, the Methodist itinerant, did not apprehead that U. 8. G, would give him the cold shoulder. “Oh, of course I will go to bear my friend Bishop Simp- son.”” My friend, with true Methodistic hospitality, offered to send aconveyance for the President and his family, but he tlandly responded that he had a conveyance of his own, Before leaving the minister reminded him that haif-past ten was the hour of ser- vice, This suggestion was given by the writer, who remembered that at the dedication of the Metropoll- tan charcbh in Washington General Grant was fifty minutes belund te, tor he did uot arrive till Bishop Simpson had commenced his sermon. He, however, toned for that error this morning, for he, Mrs, Grant and two of his children were in the seats reserved for them at the commencement of the service. It was a goo’ idea.on the part of the Methodist minister togeek the distinguished member Of the told, though in one reapect an outsider, In order to aflora him gn opportunity to hear a good Gospel sermon, in the hupo thas 1p Would neutralize the effect witich the great dispiay of to-morrow éven- ing wili have upon his mind; for religious people agree With Aminadab Sleek in saying that bails are an “abomination.” Bishop Simpson preached an exceedingly eloquent sermon, taking as his text the flith verse of the First Epistle to Timothy, “Now of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart and of a good conscience and or faith unfeigned.” in his = introductory remarks the Bisuop sald:—It is sometimes both in- teresting and profitable to take an inside view of the working Of any system which Challeages the avten- on of thoughtful men. The Christian Churcit has an external and an internal system. As it appears to the world i¢ ig an association of men bound to- wether by a certain creed, adopitug certain usages which lead to more intimate communion, ana seek- ing in some form to spread itself all over the earth, When looked at as an internal organization men sometimes fancy it is seeking for external power; that it has the same motives as distinguish gov. ernments of earth; that its alm 18 merely to seek aggrandizement, the personal elevation of those concerned, or in Some foim that it has a selfish ov- ject in view. It may be well, then, for us not only to contemplate tt externally in what 1t does and what it proposes to do, vut to sce what great objects the foun- ders of it had in_ view, and what reasons they gave to those who, following them, endeavor to carry out their teachings and to spread abroad their spirit. The Apostie instructs Timothy not to have tus attention turned chiefly to questions of contro- versy, questions that may be merely of ceremony, or questions of form, or questions connected with ex- ternal associations, with genealogies, or race or descent. That was not ihe great opject of the Church, It had os higher idea, @ wider aim; ard then he proceeds to set forth what that object is in the passage we have selected. The hrase, ‘the end of the commandment,” means here, he design, the great object, the purpose for which it_ was given; and by the phrase, “the command- ment,” I understand the whole system of revealed religion. In other words, it might'be said, now the Whole object of God's revelation to man ia to pro- mote charity out of apure heart, of a good co: science, and of faith unfelgned. It has no e: ternal objects as far ag its own aggrandize- ment %® concerned; it seeks not to build up itself at the expense of others; there ig no personal motive that ought to influence those wno are engaged in its diffusion. Its aim is to bless the world, to make maukind happier, to ele- vate humanity everywhere, to spread abroad purity of heart and rectitude oi conduct, aud to give men connection with the great God which made tuc world, This is the great object of Christianity. It is the great work of the Christian Church. And taking the passage in tuts view, I ask your atten- tion, then, to this declaration of the Apostle— that the Christian Church ts establisued on earth as a system for the purpose of spread. ing abroad charity among ali men and bless- ing humanity in every possible form. ‘The Bishop, in his characteristic style, proceeded to show the supertority of Christianity over all other systems which men have devised for the reforma- tion and civilization of man, aad suowed that, though the reiigion of the Bibie was at Brat confined to one particular nationality, yet the ultimate de- sign of God was. to spread lis saving influences in every part of the globe, Ths same Alinighty Fatuer which guided the [sraetites was the gatde of the be- Never now, and His eet design was to promote untversal love among mén.

Now, our highest conception of heaven is that of universal love. Earth can never reach this condition unless the heart eau be made pure, and hence, as astep towaras Universal charity, the heartof man mast be by some means f from tts selfishness and made pure, Is Mus possibie? Is it posstble for the human heart to be made pure? Anh, how many of us answer ‘No, Why? Because we know something of the dopth of linpurlty that te within us.

Jong linger in the minds of those who witnessed it, The eiforts or the Atlantic Yacht Club are now beginning to be thoroughly appreciated and before long it will have attained a very high and honorabie standard, Hitherto the annual cruises of the club have been somewhat limited, but the members, under the able advice of Commodore Voorhis, are inclined to ex- tend it ten or fourteen days, in order that nothing should be left undone to render the excursion com- lete and satisfactory in every respect, As the club is fast assuming @ Very iniportant position in the yachting circles of the country it merits that tavor- able recognition which all such associations must ever elicit. And while the Atlantic Yacht Club may not possess the largest and swiftest vessels in the country, (and the qvestion may be reasonably dis- puted), iehas done much toward the advancement of yachitng in America. On that account, therefore, it merits commendation. The appearance of the fleet this morning was beautiful in the extreme. Settlog aside the delight- ful seenery which surrounded it, and the circum- stances which contributed to its brilliant display, the yachts themselves looked remarkabiy fine. The lines of nearly ali the vessels tn the hi Tr, great or small, were the admiration of the numerous .specta- tors whe, from the shore, viewed them with critical eye the livelong day. The feet came to anchor at hitestone on Saturday mourning, shortiy before noon. Most ofthe yachts had then arrived, though many Were still expected. Gradually they dropped in and before midday Whitestone had a fair repre- sentation of the fleet. Commodore Voornts, anxious to make a speedy shift, issued the signal to prepare to start, and not very jong after twelve o'clock on Saturday the fleet set sail for Gien Cove, at which delightful anchorage the yachts anchored between five and six o'clock, There was not a church in the city in which the Bet! Maca ceremonies pe a to the day were performed more solemnly than aboard the Commo- dore's yacht Gracie. A deligntful awning overspread the yacnt from stem to stern, and shortly before Midday the deck was completely thronged with fashionable visitors, Though to a certain extent the scene was somewhat novel the services were admi- rably conducted, and over an hour and @ half was spent m prayer, in which nearly all the yachtmen, Whose craits lay at anchorage, participated. Tne Rev. Mr. Longford, of Ingleswood, officiated an Preached a sermon appropriate to the occa- sion. The services terminated shortly before one o'clock, at which time the owners of e Cape; since light winds and vel e weather ; the various yachts took their departure, 8, spoke bark Emily (NG), The Commodore had a very numerous party on a — - is oz Qolorada, from whom he suosequently entertained at dinner, OL tor ei 25 21, ton 60, Mrs. Voorhis and a number of ladies participated in the religious services of the day and purpose wit- nessing the cruise and race of the club. Altogether & most agreeable day was apent on board the Gracie, the popular Commodore being. Svidetty over. powered with the thanks of his numerous guests. The fleet will weigh anchor at five o’clock to-mor- row (Monday) morning, on signal of one gun from the flagship, and will sail for Port Jefferson or a Haven, there to remain over night. ‘To-morrow the fleet will weigh anchor at seven O'clock A.

After the entertainment the hospitaiities of the fleet will be extended to Mr. Mott and his friends for a pleasure sail on the sound. The yachts on the following di are invited to compete for two prize cups of the value of $100 dollars each—the schooners in one class and sloops in another, without altowance or restriction of any kind.

The steamer Arrowsinith conveyed a large number of visitors to Glen Cove to-day. Tudeed the epchant- ing locaity was more erowced than it has been since Jast year. It is almost unnecessary to observe that the beautiful grounds attached to the hospitable mansion of Mr. Kennard formed a most pleasing and picturesque resort for many, who failed not to ap- preciate the liberality of the owner in throwing open his charming demesne for thelr enjoyment. The ee was largely taxen advantage of.
