Sermons by Bishop Robertson, of Mis- souri; Bishop Loughlin, of Brooklyn; Henry Ward Beecher, Rev. Drs. Chapin, Hepworth, Hoskins, Smyth, Hubbell and Others. The fine weather yesterday had the effect otf erowding the houses of divine worshipin this city and Brooklyn, and presenting therein a marked contrast to the general appearance of the churches on several Sundays past.. The sermons, delivered ‘were mostly theological or theoretical ‘in their bear- ings, and as there wasno great local or national wensation to call for any pointed remarks the ser- mons generally partook of a character Which to Moany of the worldlings hereabouts will appear some- what tame. Those sermons and services of more than ordinary interest will be found in the following reports, and will no doubt be fully appreciated, > CHURCH OF THE DIVINE PATERNITY. Sermon by Rey. Dr. Chapin. ‘The gental sunshine and clear bracing atmosphere of yesterday drew a large and highly fashionable congregation to the morning services at the Church of the Divine Paternity. The Rev. Dr. Chapin took for the text of his discourse the fourth apd fifth Verses of the fifth chapter of the first Epi&tie of John, ‘which contain the following words:— And this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith; who is he that overeometh the world but be that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God ? ‘The preacher said that the passage he had just Tread contained two prominent words, the meaning of which it would be well to consider. These Words were the world and faith. What, then, was meant by the world? He hardly need tell them that this world had various meanings. Sometimes the meaning applied to the earth; again, to society or collective body of humanity; and still agatn, tt was the expression of a certain spirit or principle. We pould clearly discrimjnate between the world of Mature, which God pronounced to be composed of all that was good and simple, and the corrupt or evil world. We could clearly distinguish between that aspect of things and that material worla which over- adowed faith or absorbed the desires of men. We jive the difference between the world jod gave His Son to death for and those con- ditions of Gee sedis were the offspring of human ions. tainly the love of any good thingd4n the world did not fall within the scope of our meaning When we spoke of the world in the evil or antagonistic sense. It might be well to observe that in the primitive e of the Gospel the world had become identified with that which we called wrong, and far more truthfully could they speak of the evils of tne world in that age than now. Christianity had then but fust newly come into the world, and it was for that World Jesus Christ was crucified. It was against that world the apostles had to contend. It was over Ts came to their deaths by violence and scourging and flames. And what made these men more than con- querors? Why, the simpie conviction that Jesus Christ was the Son of God. Let him, however, s: that the course of historical research did not alter the substance of affairs. One man might think the World was changed from what it was then; and yet the same elements existed. There were obstacles m the material world; there were conditions of society; there were elements and policies of Worldliness against which we were all called upon to contend, This, then, led him to consider the term faith. That question was as patent now as it was eighteen hundred years ago. What were we to understand by this term faith? The faitn of which the New Testament speaks was not the mere intellectual assent—it was not mere opinion. No. ‘The moral action of the will was @ stronger element than the judicial exercise of the understauding. In its highest meaning taitn was trust. Therefore, it ‘Was not a mere intellectual term, but a term that ny child understood. Certainly faich grew clearer ‘to intellectual light; but, after ali, its highest characteristic was trust. It was hardly neces- sary to say that faith in this sense was the basis of all great achievements. Did any man ever do ai great thing unless he had real faith to back him? No. He saia without faith noth- ing could be done in this world. A man was dead by the worst of deaths who was not animated and inspired by faith, Tne world was not to be arrested in its affairs or in its grand march of Christianity and civilization by dogmas, and yet we had men who really supposed that ail which we called free thought and free speech was simply an emanation from the evil one, and we are now preparing to stop it by the enactment of a dogma by the calling of an ecclesiastical council, just as 1f that woujd stop this mighty force that came sweeping down along the track of ages. In couctusion he said in its an’ o nism, in its evil courses, the world was overcome by faith. CHURCH OF THE MESSIAH, Sermon by Rev. Mr. Hepworth—Old Churches and Old Creeds and the Coming New Charch. Tbat spacious and beautiful temple of worship, the Church of the Messiah, corner of Thirty-fourth @treet and Park avenue, was well filled yesterday morning to hear Rev. Mr. Hepworth, the new munis- ter from Boston, whose brilliant discourses are a Hitting sequence to the eloquent sermons of Rev. Dr. Osgood, his popular predecessor. He took for hie text, Matthew v., 48:—‘‘Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which isin heaven ia perfect.” He ‘Was not willing to drink at the stream a century or & generation this side of the source, He would drink at the fountain head, This text told him that he could make his life rythmic with beauty. Going to the words of Jesus he stood with the sun rignt -over his head, The flowers have @ new perfume, the winds a new inspiration. If he accepted the creeds of some of the churches he would learn that he was @ poor, forlorn creature, and destined to eternal perdition. In the doctrine of Christ there Was no saaness, It lifted high the atms; it gave epic randeur to life. Speaking of the Roman Catholic Jhurch, he sald it was the same now as five hun- dred years ago. It had gathered strength by its per- sistent uniformit@a its old faith, This religion did not base itself on ‘the Bibie. It knows that human nature is Weak and wants a leader—a voice to hear and obey as an army the clarion voice of its general. ‘thus the Pope came into being, and cardinals and archbishops, and bishops and priests. The priest hoias the destiny of his subject under his control, The subject must coufess to him his weaknesses and wrong-doings, and penalties are pre scribed as punishments. It did not end here. Alter death the priest claimed the power to pi the soul out of purgatory. Reviewing at length the rise and progress of the Roman Cath- olic beitef aud the present condition of this Church, he next took up the subject of Protestantism, reviewing likewise the progress of the Protestant faith. The great trouble, he tnsistea, was that When Protestantism formed itself into a chureh it retained dogmas not to be found in the Bible, as total depravity, predestination and damnation of infants, There Was not @ passage in the Bible upholding these repuisive doctrines. But besides this was the great want of charity; to-day, In many pulpits in this city, there were clergymen who stooa ready to denounce the Unitarian Church and its creeds, and there were thousands of mem- bers of the so-called evangelical churches who would unite with tne clergy m their denun- ciations, These ministers and these mem- bers of their churches knew nothing of their faith, 11 would not be so long. Spirit of true Protestantism would assert itself, ie present generation would live, he believed, to see this tri- umph of true Protestantism. The world would throw off the fetters of false faith and accept the true faith and the true gospel—the gospel of the Bible. To common living aud common thinking the ulpit should direct its teachings. Religion would e something to jive; that making lives useful and honest; that which will enable us to sell and buy stocks honestly, with our faces heavenward. They were to have a church whose corner stone will be the sermon on the Mount and ite dogmas utterances from the lips of Jesus Christ. The veginning and the end of true religion were folded up in the mysteries of the Lora’s » In conclusion he urged that there was a mission for every one to fill in bringing about the dominion of the true Protestant Church. ELEVENTH STREET PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. Sermon by the Rev. C. B. Smyth=The Object of God's Love. The announcement in the morning papers that & sermon would be preached at the Eleventh street chureh yesterday on the subject of the great Ecumenical Conncil at Rome, drew quite a number of strangers to this church; but 1 was explained , NEW YORK: HERALD, MONDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1869.—TRIPLE SHEET. i bi i : 5 Fe aEStEE BEaE ERs orld class, the ‘‘eiect,” as claimed that all man! was un the object of God's saving love, Between these two extremes a middie ground was spy my which the melvation, of Got waa regarded 98 20 ony eee cious when omy the individual. We have every assurance vine revelation, from the works of creation and in the providences of God manifesied jn the aifairs of the world that the chief atiribate of the Almighty is love; but those who re- fuse to accept it and rebel against God’s commands forfeit His mercy and bring condemnation upon themselves. The manner and degree of God’s love was beyond human comprehension. God in His infinite foreknowledge gave His Son before the mountains were created. The Son was given of God when He was born In the flesh and Walked and suffered among men, and when He was delivered into the hands of His enemies to be cruci- fied. It was not the Roman soldiers who di Him to the cross nor Judas who betrayed Him that gave Him tous a8 our atonement, but God im the execution of hig foreordinauon. Wherever the Aposties went they had the Son of God with them, and every time we have the Gospel preached we have a direct offer of love from God. Christ was not an angel, not an archangel, not one of the dazzling beings that make up the glories maeevenoe Gaus throne, bat His only Son whom He sent fo) from tbe splendors of Heaven totnis world of suffer! and wickedness to die on the cross, when the world was arrayed in revellion against God’s authority ané merited only His wrath. ‘The declaration that “whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have eternal life” shows that through Him only can we be saved. Christ 1s the only means of rescuing us from eternal punishment. By accepting Him we not only escape the torments of heli but are promised all happiness forevermore, It was @ delusion to believe that because mercy was 80 freely offered that the offer alone saved us. If we are slic: We caunot hope for a share in salvation, nor can We piead that professing Christians are no better than non-professors. The church member who does not live up to his professions damns his soul with hypocrisy and goes to perdition with the wilful offender. We are made the arbiters of our own eternal destiny and there is no other means of salvation than obedience to God’s commands and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. CHURCH OF THE HEAVENLY REST. Sermon by Bishop Robertson, of Missouri— Idolatry, Ancient and Modern. At the afternoon service yesterday in the Church of the Heavenly Rest, Fifth avenue, Bishop Robert- son, of Missouri, preached to a crowded and fashion- able congregation. His text was from the general Epistle of St. Joun, v., 2i—“Little children, keep yourselves from idols.” He said it had always been @ difficult question to ascertain why men attached themselves to idols, It was not due to ignorance. Nations which nad penetrated to the depths of the most abstract sciences, people who Knew the polar- ity of the needle and the mariner’s compass were devoted to idolatry. Even at this moment the Chinese are abandoned idolaters, though their enlightenment is so marked that the first European countries have been glad to copy many things from them. Nor was it a want of knowledge which made the Jews set up false gods. The distance between them and God was shortened. the leader—Moses—saw God tn @ mystical and awfully mysterious manner and conversed with him, Mysterious interpositions had been made in their favor. Yet Heaven haa to threaten them in a voice of thunder with misfor- tune, temporal and eternal. God had to shake their bones’ with fear because of their proneness to gods of wood and stone. Philosophy, history and pay- chology lay bare the causes of this unhappy blind- ness in man. His nature bears a fixed relation to the objects he worships. As a worshipper of a Goa tiaev! in every attribute his ideas become en- Jarged—almost as illimitable as tae Almighty. His nature, moulded on his ideas, becomes spiritual- ized. But when the creature, ceasing to look up to heaven, casts about on earth jor an object to worship the human mind is at once contracted, and gropes in the dark in the most melancholy manner. Fear and terror and avarice and all the silly and mean pas- sions of the soul take the place of reason, which is dethroned, Thus it was that the Jews, whose* solicitude about life and spirit of acquisitiveness have been in all ages notorious, on abandoning Goa set up mm his stead a golden calf. They loved wealth; they lusted for power; they coveted the good things of life, Hence the calf of gold—tne calf representing abundance of fat things and the gold the power witch, as the prime moverjor the world, it possesses, ‘Ile splendor of the stars fascinated the Egypuans, and they took their deities from the constellations, Baseless as these systems were they still found millions of biind devotees who went from darkness into darkness, But now, even in civilized Christian communities, there is much that is idolatrous. ‘ne lust for¢ old; the love of pomp and show and dress; the ungering for what 18 mepely dissipatory, distracting and vain in life; the anxious desire to know as much as possible about a man who is re- puted a millionaire; ail these are developments of idolatry. Of persons who prove themselves by this spirit it may be said, ‘Their God is the world.”’ ‘neir souls, Which can never find peace but in God, they prostitute to mammon and its surroundings, and the soul thus demeaned and | henna feur- jully accuses itself. It was so by its waywardness and wretchedness; by its volcanic passions; by its head recklessness, even when duty and reason point Out the path to be followed clearly, and by its wild despair when it has played out all the hollow pre- tences of material unbelief. With the apostle, the learned preacher exhorted his brethren to beware of tie pci po referring to the idolatry of modern babit and practice. ‘Tue service was performed in an impressive man- ner by Rev. Dr. Howland, rector of the church. WARREN STREET (BROOKLYN) METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, ‘ bell—*The the Public Sermon by the Rev. Geo. A. Sectarian Crusade Against Schools.” Last evening this church was very numerously attended to listen to a sermon from the pastor, the Rey. Geo. A. Hubbell, on the “Sectarian Crusade against the Public Schools.” The text selected for the occasion was St. John fii., 19—“And men lovea darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.” The preacher commenced by observ- ing that these words were used by the Lord to explain the reason of the rejection of the Gospel by his hearers. It also ex- plained the reason of the present Romish crau- sade against the public schools of the day. Feaity to a foreign potentate by a powerful class of people in our midst and in this country had and was striking disastrous blows against American liberty, and these efforts would be persisted in until success crowned their attempts or their rank and file were driven from the fleld beaten and demoraiized. They demand the unconditional surrender of the present system of education; and, if we give up this, they will then ask that the press be delivered into their banda, and after that all the privileges that Americans possess under the government, and then one by one will thrift, happiness and virtue be among the things that were, and this land become one of misery and poverty, similar to the nations where Papacy has ruled supreme. The issue must be met or it may at some time culminate in one of the worst wars the worid ever knew. Ancient reli- ons dia not attempt to educate the masses. The ible has aroused the world toreason. Intelligence caused the dogmas of the Papal hierarchy in the six- teenth century to be attacked, and from theso sequences arpse public schools and education by the State. In 1642 the officers of the settlement of Hartford established free schools, and twenty - geven years after the landing of the Pilgrims the constituted authorities ordered such schools to be established in every place in Con- necticut where there were fifty houses and upwards, From the Eastern States this system of education extended. In the Empire State it was established in 1811, and last year the Educational Superiniendent reported that there were in the State 11,674 schools, 5,189 male and 25,861 female teachers, with 970,849 pupils, and 1,640,000 volumes in their libraries, It was designed that from these schools, in their management, should be excluded ail political partisanship and sectional bigotry; that the course of instruction should be broad enough to fit its pupils either for business or the ballot box. To destroy them, and such in the land, would be a blow that must wheel the nineteenth century back Into the darkness of midnight. Education should be conducted by the State, and it should be free from sects or cliques.

The weather was delightfully fine, which, together with the well known attracuon, contributed to bring together a fashionable and appreciative congregation, After the ordinary exercises the Rev. Mr. Beecher preached a sermon from Acts xix., 6—“‘And when Paul bad laid his hands upon them the Holy Ghost came on them, and tney spake with tongues and prophesied.” The reverend gen- tleman commencea by showing that the New Testament was like @ mansion through whose windows the most beautiful scenery was beheld, but ita chief merit !ay within, its prominent characteristic being that it opened the way to the spiritual world. He then proceeded to set forth the vast power which the human mind was capable of obtaining and the influences by which it was elevated. The spirit of God was omnipresent and pervaded the entire universe. He then alluded at some length to the excitement, which men sometimes experienced, produced by 1aoral stimulants, excitement emanat- Ing from reason and from the heart, which resulted in the further elevation of the soul. By those stim- lents the mind was awakened, the ideas were iliu- mimated and grand aentiments were formed. It was the spirit of God, the divine influence which Was universally present and to which human beu had access. It was the soul’s food, the heart’s life, the right light of the world. This influence ele- vated men to a high standard and placed them more directly in communion with the spirit of God, It acted upon the conscience, awakened the facul- ties and developed thelr latent force. The spirit of God seemed to act upon the human heart by imparting fineness and susceptibility. It brought the human mind into personal connection with God, The whole being of God hovered in that stimulating atmosphere, and by it men came to@ higher condition and their faculties were more thor- ougnly developed while they received a moral per ceptive power. ‘Then came the direct intercourse between the mind of map and the spirit of God. ‘That fundamental truth was the centre of moral life. It was said that sueh matters belonged to the apos- tolic age, but they were being reproduced every day. Society was breaking out with fresh develop- Ments. There were to-day similar impulses to those mentioned in the New Testament. Society was full of them, showing that there was & power of development in the human mind far beyona what man supposed. The faculties were stimulated to rise far above the bounds of matter. In the early ages when those developements under the stimulating influences took place they took piace according to that which might have been expected. The soul which fs lifted into the atmos- here of the drome, spent so as to be perfect in the uence, interpreted that figure of marriage which ohne the whole life—the glory and pride of ing joved and in loving. Gradually the influence becomes larger and more distinct, aud the soul being under the patronage of the drome spirit, men were in actual communion with God and God in actual communton with men. The soul’s life with God was like the child’s life with the mother, The litle child had a perfect life in the mother. ‘The soul lived in the bosom of God. The absence of this stimulaung influence was easily perceptible. What was the Treason of certain phenomena that occurred in our lives? There were times when the least care or trouble Oppeeaet us—times when everything went wrong. Those were times when the sun of right- eousness went below the horizon. No man kuew What the soul was capable of being or what triumphs belonged to it, Nobody but those who experienced what the influence of the spirit of God was could explain it. The reverend gentleman concluded a lengthened discourse by an earnest exhortation. ST, MARK'S CHURCH, WILLIAMSBURG, Thirtieth Anniversary of the Rectorship of the Rev. S. M. Hoskins, D. D. 3 St. Mark’s church, Williamsburg, was yesterday completely filled by a devout congregation, assem- bled to commemorate the thirtieth anniversary of the rector, the Rev. 8. M. Hoskins. The church was in all parts beautifully decorated with fowers, and a broad banner im front of the organ had these words inscribed, “Peace be within thy walls,” A monumental fforal offering of exquisite beauty stood in front of the chancel, bearing upon its summit a golden sheaf, which was typical of the long service of the pastor, during which he had gathered a rich reifgious harvest. From the chan- delier depended china asters, everlastings and groups of pretty verbenas and other flowers. ‘The windows were likewise ornamented. The gath- ering of clergy was very distinguished, and seated in the chancel were the Right, Rev. A. N. Littlejohn, D, D., Bishop of Long Isiand; Kev, Dr. Diller, Rev. Dr. Twing, Rev. Dr. Stubbs, Professor Barton, Rey. C. Clapp, Rev. Dr. Valpsey and the rector, Dr. Hos- kins. ‘Ihe impressive service of the Episcopal Church then proceeded, the Rev. Dr. Stubbs reaaing the first and secona lessons and Dr. Vaipsey officiat- ing with the Psalter. These exercises were followed with the Jubtlate Deo rtd age eighty-seven ren- dered by the full choir and congregation, Mr. Wil- lam Coard being the organist, who has held the position in this society since 1848. The psalm ending, O, that men would praise the Lord 'For his goodness to their race, For the wonders of His word, And the riches of His grace, was given with a deep solemnity that indicated a strong religious fervor inthe congregation. After the conclusion of the hymn and the other Ther services the rector advanced to the puipit an delivered an eloquent sermon. He selected his text from the 126th Psaim, 6th verse—‘He that now goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seea, shall doubtiess come again with rejoicing, bring: img his sheaves with him.” The speaker went on in elucidation of his text to draw an aliegory be- tween the relations of a@ pastor to his congregation, as illustrated by the plant and finally by the reap- mg of the ‘fruit. The minister hal a great responsibility to account for, and his career must be an unbroken chain of trials“-and self- denials. As the husbandmap, his must be done here and his reaping hereafter. ‘He shall see of the travail of his soul and be surprised.’’ Thirty years ago he had entered upon the mission of his ministry and he had, during all that period, striven to sow the seed, which is the Gospel of Christ, He had preached none other. He knew naught in his reii- gious labors but Christ and Him crucified. He had never introduced the novelties and excitements of the worid in his pulpit, nor had he sought to throw sweet words to the sinner in the battle with his own iniquity. He had not spared the rod; he had tried to point out the ways of their wickedness and lead them vo the promised land. His church had been as @ wall of fire against all sin and had been the stern foe of allcorruption. No other law had he promul- gated than that ordamed by Zion; and he had never consented to the prostitution of religious discourse to subserve wordly ends in his four years of Sundays and his une years of con- tinuous service in that edifice. In the good soll of honest hearts he had seen how the-genial rays of Heaven had germinated the seed into healthy natu- rity, until the springing lade did flourish and the rich fruit was abundant. The heavenly harvest has been full. One hundred and fifty-seven adults haa been admitted during his pastorate, 100 con- frmed in communion, and 668 of all ages; over 800 had pledged their Jove to_ Christ at the aitar and had remembered, “Do this in remembrance of Me;” 1,245 had been regen- erated and born again, making 1,402 in all who had sought Heaven's blessings in repentance; 503 of the departed slept the eternal sleep and over 800 of hia original parishioners were no more. Five thousand seven hundred and thirty-three dollars had been contributed in humble mites for the poor and sick, $8,400 for missionary purposes; $56,280 had been given in all for the cure of souls, exclusive of pew rents and the like. Six munisters now preached from Christian pulpits who had been inthe Sunday shool. He gave other interesting statistics, ‘This, said he, had been accomplished in @ parish originally mfant in proportions, subse- quently divided into many, and now limited’ in ter- rivorial area, The preacher concluded with an igen | warning and invitation to others to join in e cause of Christ. After the Gloria Patrie and an anthem Bishop Littlejohn made a brief address, congratulating the rector on the great work he liad accomplished. He was there in nis oficial position, and commended bd anes and noble career of hig Christian rother. The services concluded with the ninety-sixth hymn and the Gloria in Exceists Deo, when the con- gregation repaired to the rectory for refreshments. CHURCH OF ST. VINCENT DE PAUL, WILLIAMSBURG. Dedication of the New Church Edifice. The new church edifice of St. Vincent de Paul, Williamsburg, full description of which appeared in these columns Saturday, was dedicated yesterday morning by Bishop Loughlin, assisted by # large number of prominent clergymen, and the imposing ceremonies in the presence of a large congregation of the friends of the energetic and eloquent young pastor, Rev. David 0. Mullane, The solemn and imposing dedicatory services commenced at half- past ten o'clock and were conducted by Bishop Loughlin, assisted by 9 numerous train of priests and acolytes. The mass was celebrated, with Father Sylvester Malone, of Ste. Peter and Paul's chureh, as celebrant; Rev. A. Smith, C. M. deacon; Rev. Matthias Joseph Farley, sub- the Rev. Dr. Friel, of med, master of ‘The music selected for the oc was the Kyrie, from Mozart’ Twelfth Mass; Gloria, from Merca- dante; Credo, from the same; overture from Boil deau, and Sanctus and Aonus from Mozart. fessor John ‘Thia music waa grandly rendered. Lott presided atthe organ, and was assisted by a brags band and a choir of first class artists, Among the latter were Mr. Alveis, tenor, with Mesars. Hentz, Venus’ and Haden, and Mise Mary Gillett, leading soprano. The organ, manufactured in Baltimore, has two banks of keys, twenty-two stops and two octave pedals, At the prover period of the mass the Bishop Loughlin ascended the pulpit, the fourth chapter of St, Paul’s Epistie to the Ephesians, and delivered an eloquent discourse thereon, He first expressed to the members of the the pleasure he felt at be in. cree pastor erecting, and congratulated them on thelr progress from & & small frame edifice to the noble structure in which they were assembied. The Bishop then explained at length the epistie which he read, and claimed that inthe Catholic Church a knowledge of the truth of God ts to be obtained. The Church, he said, is sometimes biamed because it makes neither pro- hes Nor progress; but it needs no new prophets; it ig suMicient that it obeys Christ’s orders, to teach that woich He imparted to his disciples, And as to f ayeeo he thought that It would be well for his earers to Make progress in wisdom and piety. At the conclusion of the Bishop’s sermon Father Mullane, pastor of the church, offered a few remarks, He said that his heart swelled with emotion when he remembered that the grand edifice in which he ‘was erected by the shilling contributions of his peer personas, For the past three years sixty collectors had faithfully visited: the a2 families of the parish and regularly collected their small but free offerings. To all of them he returned his sincere thanks, te also complimented all those who were engaged in the construction of the edifice for the faithful and able manner in which they per- formed their great work. Among the assisting clergymen were the Rey, Dr. Turner, the Rev. Joun K. McDonald, of St. Mary's, and his assistants, Fathers McCarty and Hickey; the Rev. Father Keegan, Father Quinn, of St. Pever’s; Father McCarty, and Fathers Goodwin, Tatfe, Moran, Brady, Lane and Campbell. At the evening services there was a very large at- tendance, when'the Rev. Dr. McGlynn preached an instructive sermon on the life of the patron saint of the Church. The entire cost of the edifice, which is not yet quite completed, will reach $100, 00 DEDICATION OF THE FIRST REFORMED CHURCH, Wil LIAMSBURG. The new church edifice recently erected at the in- tersection of Bedford avenue and Clymer street, Wil- liamsburg, for the society of the First Reformed church, of which the Rey. Dr, E. 8, Porter is pastor, was yesterday formally dedicated. The usual open- ing exercises were followed with the reading of a portion of scripture by Chancellor Ferris, who then offered prayer. The Rev. Dr. Porter delivered an eloquent doctrinal discourse, at the conclusion of which the Rey. Dr. Thomas De Witt made the dedi- Yatory address, Dr, Ferris also made a brief address, and concluded the services with the benediction. A large and attentive audience was present, and con- tributed freely towara paying off the indebtedness incurred by the trustees in the embellishment of the beautiful and substantial structure, SPIRITUALISM. Nettie M. Pease on “Tho Pure in Heart.’? Women of delicate physical organization and a disregard for the first princtplea of syntax seem to be the usual chosen or self-appoited exponents of the metaphysics of Spiritualism. Not the least Known among these ethereal females is Nettle M. Pease, Last evening she held forth at very conside- rable length at the Everett Rooms, corner of Broad- way and Thirty-fourth street, on the suyject of “The Pure ia Heart” to @ large audience, most of whom seemed to have gone from the cheap curiosity of whiling away the time and being afforded a litile Spiritualistic pabulum for the small sum of ten cents, The large hall was nearly tilled. Amxed to the wall, behind the platform, was a glaring banner, on which were inscribed the words “Anti-Tobacco Army of Purity—Health, Progress and Happt- ness.” On coming forward, Nettie, who looked pale, if not spirituelle, passed her hands several times over her eyes in the usually approved fashion among* those who are in close communion with disembodied spirits, and then began one of those rambling discourses consisting of the fre- quent reference to “spirit life,’ Be i He “castin, of the fetters of custom,” ‘going back to the firs principles of nature,” &c. The speaker, mn voluble terms, and evidently in language learned by rote, and the grammar of which was about on a par with the logic, denounced all systems of religion as sim- ply, 80 many systems of shackling human thought and the natural aspirations of the soul afcer truth. She oupreices that progress was the law of nature, and that if we would attain to the perfection Whick would unite us closer and closer with the Supreme Betng we iust pay no regard to systems of religion, which, said the speaker, were ali framed by man, but must follow simply the law gf progression founded in our nature. It was not very easy to make out what Nettle meant by the “pure in heart,” unless it meant “going in” strongly for communton with the departed and throwing off entirely all regard for every form of faith—Jewish, fidel or Christian. Nothing but Spirttuaitam could, she said, make men pure and good and happy. She cited Jesus Christ as an example to follow, not, how- ever, according to the Christian idea. She spoke of Him simply as one who was par excellence a Spiritu- alist, becauge he cast aside the reilgion of the Jews and “thought for himseif.” He was pure in heart, said she, because he followed the prin- ciples of nature and did not adhere to the dogmas and customs of the Israelites.
