10 GLORIA PATP, Interesting Religious Ser vices in Washington, New ¥ ork and Brooklyn Yes’erday, REV. SELLA "MARTIN ON “CASTE.” The Rights of the Colored People to te Secured at the “Coming” Session of Congress. Discourses by Beecher, Hepworth, Chapin, Smyth, Bellows, Potter, Frothingham and Other Eminent Divines. The services in the churches of the various de- nominations in this city and Brooklyn were marked by @ somewhat unusual variety of themes of dis- course, and as arule were well attended. Reports of the more interesting sermons and ceremonies will be found below. ‘The feature, however, of the day’s sermons will ‘be found embodied in the discourse by Rev. SeNa Martin, the colored clergyman of Washington, which possesses at this time amore than ordinary significance. RELIGIOUS SEAVICES IN WASHINGTOR. A Colored Clergyman’s Opinion of Caste Dis- tinctions on Account of Race or Color— Exclusion of Cvlored Children from the Public Schools—Contrast Between an Ameri« can Official in England and an English Gen- tleman—The Next Congress to Secure Equal Rights—The Administration on the Side of the Negro, : WASHINGTON, Nov, 23, 1869. ‘The mixed school question, which agitated this «ity last week in consequence of an attempt to get a daughter of Rey. Seila Martin admitted into the Franklin square sclioo! as a pupil, Was the subject of adiscourse at the colored Presbyterian church in Fifteenth street. Rey. Sella Martin was the preacher, and had an audience made up of blacks and whites, including, among others, Vice President Colfax, Ben Batier, George F. Downing and several colored celebrities. Mr. Martin’s discourse was devoted to the entire subject of caste absurdities, and he handled it with ‘an ability that surprised all his hearers. His princi- pal point was that distinctions on account of color or complexion were mainly the result of commercial interests, and that as Christianity and civilization advanced such distinctions disappear. In England there was no such distinctions on account of color. He (the preacher), when in England several years ago, presented to an American oficial a strong letter of introduction from a distinguished statesman of uhis country, now dead, but whose brilliant record could never be blotted out, The ofictal treated him coldiy. Subsequently he presented another letter to an English gentleman, who, on reading it, said, “Sir, you shail have a soirée in my house.” Tne soiree was given and thereafter he floated along the social stream smoothly and without difficulty, After- Wards, meeting the same American official who had previously rejected him, the oiticial took him by the hand warmly and treated him courteously, In this country this caste barrier was fast being broken down, but it needed courage to follow migidly in the path of duty without looking te any- thing but truth and justice. The negro did not want to force himself upon the whites. He did not want to mix up with the Anglo-Saxon, but he wanted to have bis political rights recoguized and his perfect equality assured. The speaker then alluded to the case of his own litte daugiiter. He sent her to the school in the usuai way with a tcket from a trustee. He had known that other colored children had been admitted and taaght there, His child was admit- ted, also, but alterwards, when her color was dis- covered, she was sent away. He took her back and told the the teacher she had a right to be admined— that other colored children were there, The teacher said there were not any other colored children, and made a search of the school and brought up two Uttle Spanish girls. The preacher alluded humor- ously lo the fact that the teacher was unable to find the two colored pupils, and instanced it as one of ‘the difficulties in detecting their very refined dis- Unctions. He intended not to make trouble, but to stand by his rights. He was not golng to shirk his ani “After ali,” said he, “we will only nave to wait a short time; for when Congress meets it Will pass an enactinent that will fix the rights of the colored peopie beyond a doubt. We have nothing to fear from this adininistration; it will stand py us; the head of the government 13 with us, When I wink of General Grant's speech to General Tate, in which he said it was his purpose to serve the rights of every negro in the land, I cannot donbt his adminis- tration Will support us, Such a thing as the Presi- dent of the Untied States recelving a colored ambas- sador and addressing him as General Grant ad- dresved Genera! Tate the other day could now have occurred here five or #ix years ago." "PLYMOUTH CHURCH Perfectness of Manhood—sermon by the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher. The text chosen by the Rev. Mr. Beecher yester- day was taken from St. Paul's Epistie to the Colos- sians, ill, 14:—“And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.” The apostie had previously enumerated many Christian qualities, but in the passage just read he said that above and over ali sueh qualities should be placea the guide of love, for it brought the Christian character to a true idea of perfection. There were four figures which appeared and reappeared very Irequently, the first being an architectural figure, which represented aman as a building or a mansion, A striking instance of this was found in the Corin- thiana, where it was written, “For we are laborers Uogetber with God. Ye are God’s husbandry; ye are God’s building.” ‘The next was a mull tary figure, “Put on the holy armor of God, that ye may be able wo stand against the wiles of the d ‘The third was a mili- tary figure, occuring in Ephesians iy., 13, “Till we all come in the unity of faith and of the knowleage ofthe Son of God unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ; and the fourth was a domestic figure, setting forth the duties of home appertaining to a Chrisyan life. But above all those, over them all, put in charity, which ‘was the bond or girdie of perfectness, After advert- ing to the figure of man being built in Christ, which carried the idea of an act of intense love, th preacher observed that all those figures had one el ment: they pointed to one great truth, and all agreed in representing the true idea of Christian life. Now, this building 1n Christ was not a complete gift, but a6 was a growth to be developed. All the figures referred to clearly showed that the divine end sought for man was not to be found in a single or special dine, tought or feeling. Jt was not to be sought in getting a man into any line of succession. Perfectness of manhood was the grand aim in view; but perfectness of manhood did not come in the lump. The great object coaid be gradually obtained, the Lord Jesus Christ being the model. There must bea periection in all the parts; perfectness of manhood required a develop ment of a full and healthy condition of the body, be- cause one part could not be separated from the other. It required a regulated use and discipline of the passions, because they were the enginery of life, The physical and spiritual condition of man must harmonize for the more thorough development of the perfectness required, while the clear light of reason must be thrown over all, like the windows in a dweiling house yreover, the understanding must likewise be developed, for it with the others constituted the one organic manhood which religion sought. Jt was for that the Church was estaviished, to educate men to that perfectness of manhood, Christ did not come into the world Co estavlish a Church; He came to estab- NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1869—TRIPLE SHEET. ae alluding to what b¢ éonsidered the fallacy of some men in believing ‘hat by belonging to a chureh they were on the sure path to salvation, he Rove a true manhoo% must first be obtained, & ee. 0 ure, true, loving manhood, growing py ig 3 the besought them to build upon Jesus car, the language of the apostle and resting on . foundation they would be saved. In referring to the many sects, the diferent forms of worship ex- isting throughout the world, he remarked that we were all making @great ovean voyage. Some were ‘on scows, some were on rafts, others clung to spars and logs, and if all reached the shore in safety it mattered not how they reached the shore. There were eminently good men attached to all forms of religious worship, and he believed they all had suffi- cient element of truth that would go far to build up in them true manhood, But all the component parts that constituted perfectness in manhood must be aticnded to, bowever apparently insigniticant. To be sure, his’ head was better than his teet, but he could not stand on his head. The preacher closed by exhorting the congregation to study the great object In view, and nting out the happy result attending its achievement, CHURCH OF THE MESSIAH, Haste to Get Rich the Ruling Passion of Modern Civilization—Sermon by the Rev. eorge H. Hepworth, 'vhe large and beautiful Church of the Messiah, corner of Park avenue and Thirty-fourth street, was, last evening filled to its utmost capacity—and hundreds had to turn away, not being able to obtain admission—to hear the second discourse to young men by the Rey. George H. Hepworth. The bril- Mant force of utterance, dazzie of oratory and sound, practical suggestions characterizing his first lecture, and so conspicuously prominent, indeed, in all his discourses, marked last evening’s lecture, He took for his text Proverbs xxviii, 20—“He that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.” If he was to designate the happiest man in the com- munity he would not select tbe richest or the poorest man, but he of the middle class—the working man. ‘This man found his happiness in lavor. This was God's compensation, ‘The rich man bas aches and pains; the poor man has good muscles and nerves, Many a rich man down town would give three- fourths of his millions tf he could be as healthy as his porter, and the other quarter if he could begin lite over again, He proceeded to show what men would do to get the firstsheiter of a four story brown stoue front, and what came of such getting. Next he contrasted lifein England with our American life and the outdoor sports indulged in _ there and how they brought health and strength. He showed how in Germany and elsewhere boys’ bodies are taken care of—not here. In our country there were no out- door sports hardly, no muscular outdoor exercises, He ald down a8 @ maxim that the better the body the better the conduct of business. Region that came of dyspepsia was not worth having. He of worn out nerves and shattered constitu- tion could not appreciate half the beauties of this our world. We are in woo great hurry, Business absorbed every thought. Tired and wearied and worn, our men grow old at fifty, are gray-haired at fifty-five, dead at sixty, and in two months are wholly forgotten, The oid motto “slow and sure” was the motto to be adopted, and not “hurry up and run the risk’’—the one upon which nearly everybody here acts, God does not tell & man not to go Into business, It was the duty of every nan to work at something, and likewise to pursue his busimess in a manly way.

He gave his own experience in going down Broadway. He commenced going slowly, looking into shop Windows; and then he went faster, and did not look into 80 many shop windows; and he kept going-faster, and then he abandoned looking into the windows, and before he knew it he was going on, peil mell, with the crowd. He was in a urry to go somewhere; he did not go there, He found himself at the Brooklyn terry, aud he hurried to the front of the boat, and got over the chain and jumped before the boat touched the landing. He finally strided four miles out of town. He dweit upon the magnetism of this hurrying epidemic, and the resuit of It, They had their faces, He could not tell their ages. Everybody worked too hard. Editors worked very hard. He instanced the publi- cation of biographical sketches of the late George Peabody of columns’ length a few hours after his death, Manual labor does not hurt; brain labor kilis. business men are in too great a hurry to say their prayers. He showed how defaications were closely connected with ill health, the product of over work. ‘The man whose digestion is good can be a Christian. The man with dyspepsia is fitted for any crime. Half the crimes of our modern civilization are tracea- ble to bad livers. It Was so now that defalcations hardly stirred a ripple on the suriace of society, They are cailed oniy irregularities. His advice to all men was to spend all the ume they could in get- ung good heaith, and next to get religion, and keep in their ives and their hearts and their jedgers and there need be no fear of the future, CHAST CHURCH. Sermon by the Rev. Dr. Ewer. A large and fashionable congregation assembled yesterday morning beneath the gilded domes of Christ church, Filth avenue, corner of Thirty-fifth street. The services in this favorite Sunday resort of the ¢lite of the city are High Church, and differ but little In ceremonial pomp from the orthodox Catholic Church except in the ritual. Over the altar, which 18 very beautiful, is a magnificent cross of gold, and immediately beneath that a smailer cross of the same costly material, The church is partialiy lighted from the roof by stained glass win- dows of elaborate design, in four different domes and by chandeliers on each side of the altar. Constructed doubtless with aview to effect in Ulumination, a “dim religious light” partly reveals the costly decorations of the chureh. The choir is an excellent one, and when the soft, trembling notes of the magnificent organ strikes on the listening ear and the words of the solemn chant rise and fa!lin harmonious utterances the effect is exceedingly impressive. The music selected for the services yesterday was admirably sung, the solos being eapeciaily worthy of mention, After the usual Church service for the first Sunday in Advent the Rev, Dr. Ewer preached from St. John xiiL, 7—“Jesus answered and said to him, What I do thou knowest not now, but thou shalt know hereafter.” There was @ power in all the words of our Lord, which, though enigmati- cal to those who heard them at the time they were uttered were afterwards understood in all their force and beauty. It was doubtiess diff - cult for those who had heard him to comprehend the scope and meaning of the Divine utterances, as it Was hard to believe in His mussion and power. Never was such a phenomena presented to the wise men of the day. A child was born of humble parents, grew in years and began to speak strange things, and gather around Him disciples who followed His teaching and eagerly obeyed the directions given them. But while even these were strong in the faith that the promised Messiah bad come tney often could not understand the deep meaning of all that Was told them. How sweet, then, was the assurance that they would know hereafter when the fulness of time had come and the lamb was offered for the sacrifice, and how gloriously was the promise ful- filed, The truth was prociaimed to a chosen few, but soon it penetrated into every Jand until the world resounded with the name of Emmanuel. The power given to the apostles was Significant of great events in the future:—Whogo- ever ye shail loose on earth they shall be loosed in Heaven, and whosoever ye shal) bind on earth they shall be bound in Heaven.’ That power was not temporary, bat for all time, and existed to-day in the priesthood With a8 much force as when \i was first given, Applying his text to the present con- dition of the Chureh the reverend gentleman deliv- ered an able and eloquent discourse on the duties of the congregation, and pointed to the great respon- sibility which rested upon them to so govern them- selves that when their earthly pilgrimage was over they would be entitled to seats in the courts of heaven and behold the mysteries which now seemed to veil the words of the Lord become plain before the glorious light that surrounds the throne of Him who is from everlasting to everlasting. lish @ spiritaal manhood and develop truth; to make men larger and show them how they could be pos- nessed of every attribute that God im his original designs intended for humanity. It was that which the Church sought, and it was algo the foundation stone of the New Testament. Contrast that with the current partialisms of life. ‘There were a great many men who thought that religion was the found- ation Whereon to be saved, and that all they had to do was to avoid sin and ‘keep rid of it. Certainly the beginning of a religious tite was the forsaking Sauter Was Hot the whole of its tor if the e! ent ail his time weeding and keeping the ground clear of weeds there would be no Corn OF one necessary produc tions from the soul.

The church was well filled, and previous to the de livery of the sermon a very interesting baptismal service was solemnized. Arqund the communion rails was formed 4 group of parente—two fathers having Infants in their arms, accompanied by the mothers, and one mother leading a two year old boy by the hand, accompanied by the father. When this interesting group was formed, and just as the service had commenced, there came a lone widow, in gar- ments of sorrow, bearing tn her arms a pretty purae- ling boy, with @ broad sash of biue ribbon flowing around @ pnow-white robe, and when she gave the to inister it was thi whew ane hag Towt ang her own majaon ‘meal, Pend Ing fn that name the joy and the sorrow of her life. That this incident should inspire the pastor in his prayer in supplicating the Divine blessing upon the group of parents and children was a reasonable an- ticipation, and solemnly and touchingly he did 1. ‘The sermon was one of a course on the last week of the Saviour’s earthly life, all of which have been founded on the first verse of the thirteenth chapter of the Gospel of St, John—«“Now, before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his nour had come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, baving loved his own which were In the world, he loved them unto the end,’ The sermon was, for the most part, a graphic picture sketch of of the scenes and incidents of the sippet: at Bethany, the betrayal by Judas and the closing counsels of the Master to this disctple. In the appilcation of nis subject Dr. Aikman brought back tae attention of his congregation to the facé that he had described realities and not a picture, In connection with the communion service of the afternoon it was asad thought that there were many listening to hun then who would not joi them in the afternoon at the communion, ‘They acted as U the conviction of their life was that they had no concern in this reality of the Christian life, and they lived as though they had nothing w do with Christ, Did they wish to be forever without any interest in His death?

Sermon by Rev. Charles B. Smyth—The Pope vs. the Bible on Marringe. The Rey. Charles B, Smyth delivered a sermon at the Eleventh street Presbyterian church on “The Pope vs. the Bible on Marriage,” After the prayer, in which he prayed that the President and Congress might be brought to a knowledge of Christ, and the Ecumenical Council might be brought to confusion and the members of the Council to repentance, he chose as his text the First Epistle to the Corinthians, vil., 2—Let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband,” and the First Epistie to Timothy, iv., 1—‘‘Now tne spirit speaketh expressly that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of the devils.” The subject Of marriage, he said, ts one which is of gen- eral interest not only to ladies put likewise to gentle- men, especially to young ladies and young gentle- men. For the purpose of expressing facts with regard to a certain Church he could not have em- ployea words more appropriate. Though penned eighteen hundred years ago, these words relate to an apostacy then future. The language of that Church touching marriage is that it isa great sacrament, was instituted by Christ, confers grace, is holy, and should be treated in a holy manner; should he entered into volunearily, should have the consent of the parents, though that consent 18 not necessary; should be preceded by confession and communion, by the bans, by public celeprations m the church; that vagrants should be married with caution, an clandestine marriage should be abhorred. So far Catholics and Protestants are agreed, with the exception of one word, and that is “sacrament.’? So far as the subject of marriage 18 concerned the text refers to a certain edict, which it numbers among the “doctrine of devils,’ and which is con- temned by Divine decision in the Bible. The vow of celibacy is not referred to, since every individual is at liberty to determine his or her own duty on that point. The es rule 1s “Let every man have his own wife,” kc., as obligatory upon mankind as any precept in revelation. Consequently to get married ts the duty of every man and every woman. In reflectiny this matter it has seemed that the Legtslature of the State, or, perhaps, the national government, should pass a law enforcing marriage, and that if aman refuse lo Marry, say at twenty-live or thirty, let him be fined, if he can give no reasons; that such a law would do away with bachelors and old maids, who are of no good to the State, but rather ivjurious. If this law were enacted there would not be that over- wheiming disproportion between unmarried men and unmarried women im this city—100,000 of the latter and 50,000 of the former; there would not be 30,000 unfortunate females; there would not be starvation wages paid to working women, wages notsufficientto pay her board bill, and which place her in the awful alternative of choosing between deatn and cime. But such alaw will not be passed by man until woman can raise her own‘voice at the polis, The preacher then went on to say that mar- riage Was practised by the patriarche and by the apostles in the time of Christ, and that it was not until the Spanish Provincial Council of Elvira, A. D. 300, that a caflon was passed forbidding the clergy tomarry. The first general interdiction of clerical celibacy Was by Pope Syricius, addressed to Himerius, 385, which was subsequeatly enforced by Hildebrand or Gregory Vil, 1074, who summoned a Councu may 8 issued canons separating married clergymen from their wives and forbidding ordination of others who would not take a vow of celibacy, and finally the Council of Trent passed an act in 1545 estabiishing the previous ones, It was deeply to be regretted, he continued, that such an extensive community as the Church of Rome should differ trom the teachings of Christ on the subject of marriage. He would suppose that the enlightenmeat of the nineteenth century would lead them to reconsider their actions. That no man is so weif qualified to sympathize with them in the married state, uniess he himself have entered into married relations, and thatit was for this reason that Paul said bishops and elders and deacons should be married men and men of familica, ELM PLACE CONGREGATIONAL CHUAGH. PredestinationSermon by Powers. This handsome church, on Elm place, near Fulton avenue, Brooklyn, with its large and pleasant in- terior, hardly su‘fices for the increasing congrega- tions that assemble both at the morning and evening services to hear the new pastor, Rev, Mr. Henry Powers. The elegant diction, forcible style of utter- ance, chaste and ornate illustrations characterizing his sermons no doubt contribute largely to tnis gratifying result. Yesterday morning be vreached to @ most crowded and attentive gathering on “Predestination.”” He took for his tex. 11. peter L., 10—“Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure.” A calling or an election of some kind is to be recognized as one of the truths of the Christian religion, If a man is chosen by God tocternal plessedness he caunot help being the partaker of it, and it would be foolish for him to strive to make his elec ton sure, and the sooner he leaves this life for the great future the better. We have not the knowledge to understand the full fruition of God’s purposes, yet the beginning of wisdom we do possess suifl- ciently to meet our present wants in considering the question of predestination. A man has not lived to much profit if he has failed to find out that he has a certain destiny, or rather 1s the creator of his de3- tiny. Organization, education and freedom are the three points of a life which tend to control this. Mr. Powers then selected the various teachings of the New Testament pearing upon this subject, point- ing out very argumentatively their meanings, and assured his hearers such passages contained no- thing regarding the final destiny of a@ soul, but only showed what gifts and opportunities men have had bestowed upon them, and for them they shall be held to @ strict accountability. The destiny of us all, of every kind and degree, depenas upon ourselves. How is this election, or predestina- tion, or ratber what isgthe truch of it, on a large his torical scale? The Jews were elected to prociaim the words of God to the world, to be {vs religious school master, and when they ceased to be true to their calling they ceased to be the children of God. Greece, in iiterature, science and ari, subdued and astonished the world. When it bad perfected the resulc of its calling it died, but not till 1t nad worked out the specified purpose for which God had calied it into existence. So Rome was cailed to be the law- giver in secular things, a Israel was the law- giver in religious things, and then when tue to her calling faded Into insignificance, Mohamimedanism = was appointed, doubtless, to prepare the way for the religion of Christ, and then began to die. To whatever we are cailed in God's good providence in this life by Working it out we are fulflillng our destiny. Character, soul, felicity, or its opposites, constitating the human happiness or misery Of men, are not decreed by God, or rather, man being responsibie must determine them for himself. There is a good deal of superficial morality and depravity in the world, and some, by their edu- cation and surroundings, who are termed profiigates, may be jess inflictod with sin to the core of their hearte than many hundreas of seemingly pious, Habited in canonical robes. The moral worth and destiny of men ts not determined by moral culture; that is something in the heart, which God only de- termines. A tempted soul can only experience the beneficence of God's goodness. An election without effort is defrauded of its object.

Frothingham. Rey. O. B. Frothingham preached yesterday fore- noon to the Unitarian congregation at Lyric Hall, ‘Sixth avenue, between Forty-first and Forty-second streets, on the subject—‘‘Religious Irreligion.”” The speaker, who belongs to the schoo! of humanitarian philosophy in its broadest and most liberal sense, pointed out the anomaly in those forms of religion which locate God for a certain purpose in one place and ignore him in another, which carry out the let- ter of acreed and a formula and repudiate the full measure of their spirit, The Pharisees have been at all times and by all religions held up as models of deceit and insincerity—as men who practised not what they preached, and wore long faces and indulged im pompous and Bigs Platitudes, and went scrupulous! ay ough the ceremonies of their teligion and held a proper, dignified scorn and horror of the Samaritans and Sadducets. Of course they had their missions among unbelievers, but never succeeded in making their converts any better than themselves, In short the Pharisees were an exact prototype of the religions 9 have to-dgy. ‘The PI were strict observers of the Sabbath, and held in proper execration the man who oH lected the service in the temple to go into the wilderness and minister to the outcast lepers. They were patriots too, and believed that Jugea wae for the Jews and the Holy land for the q he! 4 ra, ang jt all Ontside had no or this, among other things, they drove to the ignominy of the c! Him who said all mankind were His countrymen and right and goodness the supreme religion. Such as the Pharisees were such are the majority of so-called religious people to-day. When aman gets religious he becomes morose and gloomy, and distorts the conception of God’s benignity and beneficence by the unhallowed thoughts and fears of a universal deity existing but to enjoy the malignant pleasure of punishing men’s offences. They say, with sad and penitential voices, this world is not worth living for, and ior do all in their power to make their pilgrim- age as dreary and unlovely as possible. Whereiore all this? Has God commanded that we should pass our existence in fear and sadness? For what has He given us the bright and laughing sunlight, the merry carol of the birds, the smiling landscape and the cheerful azure heavens above? Surely not that we should forever sit in mortification of spirit and deplore the destiny that doomed us to be born. CHURCH OF THE DIVINE PATERNITY, Reliance on Providence—Discourse by Rev. Dr. Chapin, Rey. Dr. Chapin took his text yesterday morning from the Gospel of Matthew vi., 34—‘‘Take, there- fore, no thought for the morrow; for the morrow shall take thought for the,things of itself, Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.” The preacher, in ex- Planation of the above extract from the Sermon on the Mount, said there might be some who were per- plexed by the gequisition contained in the text, and who might feel thatit was impossible to carry on the affairs of life without some provision ahead. But we must not suppose that the doctrine which our Saviour set forth in the text condemned Joseph for gathering up the grain in the seven years of Plenty and providing thus for the seven years of famine. That beautifal lesson of the lily, which neither toiled nor spun, could not be brought into parallel in that connection with the ant, which tolled all summer and gathered 118 food in the har- vest. We might be sure there was nothing in the religion of the New Testament that discountenanced providence or industry, or anything really essential to the practical work of life. He might tell them, also, that in the original language of the text no such explanation is required. The word translated— thought—in the Greek meant anxious thought, or undue solicitude; that foreboding care, that worry- ing anxiety, which wasted our time and strength for the claims of to-day, and which did not at ali alter the claims or exigencies of to-morrow. The religion of Jesus Christ was chiefly concerned with spiritual relations, and it required us to let the things of life fall into their relative places, But let. them not in any way suppose that its aim was solely to lead us into a region of contempiation, divested altogether of earthly considerations. It was only by ascending into the higher that we could readily appreciate and know how to use the lower. Suppose & Iman to be employed in making some band or joint that was to perform its functions in a complicated machine, was it not reasonable to suppose that he could work better‘and more nobly on that special portion of the structure if ne knew the entire machine than if he knew nothing but that one par- ticular part? So it was with the mechanism of our being. He who was practically acquainted with the use of all its facuities, who surveyed it from the altitude of the soul, could discharge all the claims of this earthly life better than he who lived only for the body and the senses. Surely no one could read that verse and infer that we were to take no thought atall about anything. It indicated that the result of action was in the present day and the present moment. Thus was all the opportunity we possiviy could have to act, and we had no right to look with unavailing solicitude into the future. FREE SERVICES AT BREVOORT HALL. Reform in Pablic Worship. Rev. Russell N. Bellows, pastor of the new Free Liberal Christian Society worshipping in Brevoort Hall, 154 East Fifty-fourth street, preached yester- day morning @ sermon on the necessity of reform in our public worship. . Taking for his text the parabie of the withered fig tree (Luke xill, 6-11) the preacher deciared that at the present day many persons in all denominations of Christians, dissatis- fled with the working of the Christian institutions, were crying out against the Churcn like the lord of the vineyard in the paraole, “Cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?” Science, philosophy and religion are all rudely summoned to appear forthwith at the bar of a relentless criticism and to demonstrate conclusively their right to be, ‘This summons religious sentiment naturally refuses to obey, and utters its protest against what it calls an Irreverent, upstart philosophy. But those who find fauit with the Church, being as oiten the friend as the enemy of pure religion, have a rignt to be heard and have their objections considered, Their idea of dis- pensing with or being able to do without organized Christian institutions argued, however, an insufl- cient knowledge of the needs of common human nature and a very low and faise appreciation of what glorious and inais) able work the Church has always done and is still doing, in spite of her defects, What ts needed to bring religion to the eo of those outside the Church 1s not to abandon but reform that institution. The speaker had little sym- pathy with those who, leaving the charch to wor- ship in their closets, forget the oo resting Ba them in exact proportion to their spiritual in- sight and power to take counsel with their fellow men within the Church for her highest usefulness id welfare, The reforms indicated might seem to some persons unimportant in comparison with some others, but the preacher believed that the inefti- ciency of the Church was to a great degree dueto the external arrangements of public worship, Since choirs had undertaken to do the singing for tne people there was every day less and less real prais- ing of God with the voice. Loss of faith in prayer and the decay of the habit of real prayer had been serious sources of decline in spir- ivual life. The arrangement of our churches was in itself exclusive and inhospitable and one great reason Why churches are not more visited by the Masses. Radical and bold reform in some of these @pparently smali things is of the utmost tmportance to the spreading abroad of religion, and until reli- ous formalists and worshippers of the letter get the courage to take some bold steps in these direc: tions little progress in the way of carrying the Gos- pel to the people can be expecter Announcement was made that a mission sewing class of forty-five girls had been formed to foster youthful industry and provide needy girls with the means of indepenaent living, ‘The sermon in the evening yas on ‘Hell a Temper, Not a Place—a Reality, Not a Theological Fiction.” GRACE CHAPEL. Sermon by the Rev. Henry C. Potter, D. D. Grace chapel, in Fourteenth street, opposite the Academy of Music, was well filled last night, and the Rev. Henry ©. Potter, D. D., delivered the fourth of his course of “Sermons tor the People.’ The Preacher took as his text the words, ‘Neither do men put new wine into old bottles, else the botties break and the wine ranneth out and the bottles perish.” —Matthew ix., 17, Christ’s truth had often been assaulted by the convulsions of empires, the malice of enemies and by the treachery of its so- just as we Ce) called friends and had by these means been hurled into new conditions. The external and internal condition of the Church proved that her life must be kept in yielding moulds. This was the meaning of the text. Christ contd not place His religion in the old, stiffened hides of the bygone times. Keligion must be suited w the peculiar conditions of those to whorn tt was addressed, It must break Out of it musty dignity and break {nto new activities, There must be no rigid rules laid down; it must be regulated by broad principles. The forms and modes of the Christiar religion must be ever DeW, as the living principles einbodied in them were ever new. Kell. gion should be brought by new contriv- @nces nearer to the mass Of mankind. The worn out measures of the past should not be disine terred, but fresh forme’ must be used as the pro- ducers of the living power of fresh activities. The Church of God was now In tbat dangerous condition when it had become eminently respectable to be attached to it, but the lives of ita membera must be of something More than @ negative character. Many church members were not much above the average decency. Something more than this was wanted, The preacher at some length to the necen- sity for os Stas santoct to Apa ‘an cone! own re cre, both 00 ‘upooaverted, DEDICATION OF THE GREENPOINT LUTHERAN CHURCH, The edifice recently erected in Leonard street, near Greenpoint avenue, Green; L4., by the First German Lutheran chi in the p coed auneChe was dedicated yesterd: large congregation. ‘The dedl- catory exercises were conducted by the pastor, Kev, Mr. Kaselitz, assisted by the Rev.
