Mr. Paddock. At St. Peter’s church, State street, Brooklyn, a farewell missionary meeting was heid last night to take leave of the Rev. William J, Boone (son of the Jate Bishop Boone), who, with his wile, is to sutl this day to join the mission in China, After the ordinary service the Rev. Jonn A, Paddock ad- dressed the congregation, which was uot large, ou the very interesting event, and said that tn 1836 Mr. Boone left this country for the purpose of eatering upon the vast field of China as a missionary from this country. At that tims he stood alone ia tie work. In five years he returned to America, Tho work he had undertaken was so important that it was deemed by the Episcopal Church of America meet and right that he should go forth strengthened with tie dignity of the highest ofice the Church could give him, and be returned to Caina as Bishop Boone. ‘The history of the mission tn China was the history tuat has distinguished te Chris- nd I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shail Know that I aia he which searcheth the veins and hearts, and 1 wili give unto every one of you according to ile works. Tniroducing his subject with a sharp commentary on the doctrines of the day, the preacher dwelt at considerable length on the fact that in most churches the peopie were taught to regard the beneficent God as a cruel and remorseless Being. Puritanism, vorn of blood and of the sword’s point, revergeful and merciless, permeated the churches of the reformed religion, and the principles aud passions which pre- tan Church im all ages—siruggie, — aiilic- vatled at tie time when wilches were burned on Bos- | tion, adversity, triais, aud thea wiumphant ton Common and Christian women were wihip- | success.

She felt, as the character of Goa was explained to her, that His will was as hard as iron, Tt may said that the world is getting more enlightened in this respect, aud perhaps it is; but the system remains. It 1s, indeed, wonderful that in this enlightened age people should reiain the unwhoie- souie ideas of past centuries respecting the Deity. We liave sttliin the churches outside the Unitarian asystern of rewards and punishinents taught, God is represented as saying:—"If you do well youshaH be rewarded, if you do wrong | wii burn you up.” [ilustrating this by reference to mundane maticrs, tho reverend gentleman quoted Frankilo’s motto, that “honesty Was the best poiley.”’ This principle of belong right because it 18 politic is, when adopted by auy man, a proof that dishouesty would be more congenial if it was as saie, its prevalence among our mercantile community is an element of tnsecur- ily.

There was an unusually numerous attendance at the Yorkville Presbyterian charch, in Highty-sixth street, last evening. ‘ihe subject of the discourse, as previously announced, “Rome, Liberty aud the Heumenica! Council,” no doubt contributed some- what to this result, As tho basis of lis sermon he took as his text Matthew vil, 7—"Ask ana it shall be given unto you; seek and ye shall find; knock and it shail be opened unto you” Christian liberty and Roman despotisin, he insisted by way of introduc. tion, Lad strong ports of similarity. The Christian pimeiple was indereatly active. It would toler- ae no sloth. It was the same with Romanism; it was perpetually vigilant; it never sieeps, After tracing the philosophy of Christian liberty and the sentiment underlying Popery be proceeded to show that Christian liberty does not restrain philosophical investigation, but on the con- trary invites the most thorough investigation, It was not so, he urged, with Popery, Roman Catholi- cism loved in dark paths and sought to keep the people in darkness.

Men begau to ask who they were, aud What Was thelr destiny. He traced the era of despotism in the meutevai ages, The corn was robbed of its kernel aud the husks were given to the poor. Religious life In its highest aspect was regarded as lifting one above the ordinary duties of life. It had nothing to Go with the plain duues oi every day life, the duties of business and the reiq- tions of Homie. Christianity became a sort of trangcen- dentalism. Tbe divine was extolled at the expense of the human, Theology was raised upon the ruins of science and art. He reviewed the theology of the old schools, abd gave a resume of the times of tie Reformation. It was not tll men began to under- stand the trae teachings of Jesus Christ and his apostles that religious liberty began to be under siood. Not until this time was the genius of Chris- tianity compreiended; not until vhis tiie was it seen that Clristianity was not alien to art and acience, Everything that elevated humanity, that gives diguity to mankind, everything that butids gociety upon a trae basis—the steam engine and the telegraph—had in their apse gr aliy. He now proceeded to trace the objects and fruits of the Church of Rome and what te bg tar Council about to convene at the rea’ head centre of Romauism was likely io —T'is passage, said he, embodies the gist of that precept which seais the bond of uaion in the family relation and consecrates the most hallowed of ail earthly associations, Man was not made for solitude, to commune with his own dark images aud set at naught the requirements of scripture and saciety, Which make it imperative on every one te assume a tle so God-like and blessed.

Last evening Oliver Dyer, the author of the “Wickedest Man in New York,” delivered a lectare in the Jarge hall at the Cooper Institute upon the above rather startling and peculiar subject. The audience was large and represented the respectable masses of the city, ‘The lecturer prefaced his expo- sition with reading several passages of Scripture, among them the eighteenth chapter of St. Luke, the twenty-fifth chapter of Matthew and the parable of the Prodigal Son. These set forth the grounds, he said, upon which We shall escape hell, if we esvape it all. When this subject is put in form of a question it is essentially the same question put to our Saviour of * What shail Ido to be saved?” The first question that always assalis the conscience of a sinner is how to escape hell, Let him find that out, and he will take care of the rest. Men have a more decided notion about hell than heaven, All the orthodox Christians in the world have no vague idea of hell, but it 1s clear and decided; but of heaven their ideas are misty— extremely foggy. it is an interesting fact that old churchinen’ assert and believe to know that the souls of the saved are substantial beings. those of the damned must be individualized, subject to the torments of hell fire, if not physical fire, some- thing worse; that they must have faculties to recol- lect al! they ever did, all the sins committed, tn tact to realtze that they are the right men, and thus through eternity cau Divine vengeance only be satl- ated. Tne new Church accepts all this, and even goes farther, 80 much go that tue hatr of the most Inveterate orthodox Will stand on ends. If this per- sonality, this positiveness about hell 1s 80, why is tf not just as traihfui of heaven? Why 1s not the sou of the redeemed in heaven Just as consctous of perfect bilss and happiness as the doomed in hail is of misery? Hel! and heaven are on @ perfect footing of individuality, positiveness and identity, or else God Was so absorded In yiaking the damned miserable that he has forgotten to make the redeemed happy. The points then adduced by the lecturer were:— First, “A philosophical truth, every haman being has the clearest and best Conception of those things of which he hws a measure In himself,” Man thinks more of hell than heayen because there 1s more of the former in him, and this 15 the clue how to escape ue old church hell and gain Lie new church heaven. A man goes to heil because he belongs there, be- cause It fits him betier than auy oluer place, and it 13 the same with heaven. in the latter place there are no bad appointments. Going to the one or the other is purely a philosophical matter; there are ho arbitrary rewards or puuisaments in the cage, but only logical consequences. God deals with all logically.
