Father Preston, Rev. Drs. Chapin, McGlynn and Einhorn, and Rey. Messrs. Beecher and Frothingham. ‘The very unpleasant “weather under foot” yester- @ay had the effect of deterring many, who might ‘otherwise have been piously inclined, from appear- ing at their accustomed places of divine worship. ‘The weather and the slim congregations, no doubt, deprived the interpreters of the Word, in maay cases, of effective inspiration, so that while the ser- monsgenerally were truly orthodox there was put little in them that would interest a reader, as the force of elegant delivery could not be given them on paper. The few sermons and ceremonies, how- ever, which were rather out of the common will be found below. i PLYMOUTH CHURCH. Haman Sywpathy and Forgiveness—Sermon by the Key. Henry Ward BeecherHis Opinion of Pere Hyacinthe. It was evident that the congregation expected to hear from Mr. Beecher yesterday upon the subject of the Richardson-McFariand tragedy, from the earnestness visible on every face in the churctt and the deep silence which reigned throughout as he came forward to preach, Moreover, the weather— exceedingly dull and inausptcious—was sufticient to Geter many, even of his most ardent admirers, from being present; but the edifice was nevertheless thronged to excess. Before commencing his sermon the reverend gentleman ca!led attention to the fact ‘that he had been some time ago solicited to ask ms congregation for contributions for the spread of evangelical religious reading among the common people of France. There were many good men; he said, in the Roman Catholic Charci, He was happy ‘to Dave had the pleasure of meeting Pére Hyacinuie, ® man so simple, so pure, so honest, and so desirous of the truth. There were ¢ nly many men such as he in the Church to which,he belonged. He could not say anything against so good a mas @nd he wished that his tougue might cleave to nis mouth If he ever reviled biia or the Catholic Church, He added that there were hundreds of tiousands of persons in France who Were neither Protestants uor Roman Catholics, but were either infidels or nothing, and it was for the purpose of spreading reiiious reading matter before them that the contribuuons Of the congregation were now solicited. @ Rey. Mr. Beecher then proceeded to preach his sermon, taking his text from the Psalms, Clil., 14, 14:—“Like a3 a father pitieth his children so the Lord pitieth shem that fear him; ior be knoweth our frame.” He showed that in nature by itself there Was no evidence Whatever of pity or sympathetic feeling. Pity belonged eutireiy to God; pity was said to be a Kindness excited by a state of wuifering. He referred particularly to the absence of that feeling on the vasi organization of the globe. Nature was remorseless and ginpityiug; but as civ- dizauon advauced the cruel, brutal qualities of the Trace decreased, while pity and compassion 1- creased. Alter dilating at some length on the want of hu- Man syiupathy existing aiuong mankind, of the absence 01 iraternal feeling and the great selfishness and unforgiving nature Which marked their actions, ‘the reverend yentieman ailuded to the bountiful Thercies of God and the abundant pardom he bad Promised to all Who sought forgiveness. ‘ LYRIC BALL. The Rev. 0. B. Frothingham Frothing at the Mouth—The “Foes of Society”—Pouring Torrents of Vituperation on the Presa. ‘The Rey. O, B. Frothingham held fortn yesterday Morning at Trenor’s Hall, in Sixth avenue, opposite the Reservoir Park, to a large and highly intellectual Budience, the subject announced for hig discourse being “‘The Foes of Society.” Though tne weather Was not Inviting the audience was brilliant in men and women of talent. Many of the recognized Werati of the city, scores of journalists, men emt- nent in all departments of letters, distinguished politicians, merchants, bankers and the friends of the deceased Richardson were scattered throughout the spacious hall. For some reason or other the belief was abroad that the occasion was to be inte- Testing. This understanding turned out tw have a measure of truth. After the usual preliminary ser- vices the reverend gentleman approached his desk ‘and read from the Scriptures, “See that ye despise hot these little ones.” The child, he said, was the beginning of a series of which the angel was the end. ‘The child was a possibility, the angel @ fulfilment, fhe child) had all without bim, the angel all within him. ‘The chiid had no experience, the angel had all experience. ‘The child was a bud, the angel a flower. ‘Tye child Was human, the angel Was divine. ‘The thoughts of Jesus were alive tu each, thougu ta different degrees. Following up the strain of thought the preacher Baht that society inciuded those who were the begin- ning and the end—those who were first starting in life, and those who were just completing It. Society included the good, the bad, the just, the unjust, the Kind and the cruel. What was desirable was 4 cou- dition of society, not of hate, but of love, not of un- charitableness but of benevolence, not of vice but of Tighteousness. Prayer, the promptings of a true conscience, the kingdom of heaven, the life of Jesus were ali good, and their attributes Were the natural Aeritage of society, The arts, the intricate. screncea, philantbrophy aud religion were only good as they assisted to work out and build up the principles an- derlying society. linmortality was not a thing of the future, 80 much as it should be taught to help us on earth; and there were no sins except sins against society. It was only when ginning against society that we sinned against God. What ‘was society’ Have we it now? No; it was anice, subtle, profound organism, springing into delicae &nd tortuous avenues, like the minute membranes of the body. fhere Was no society now. society signified a brotherhood, love, kindness, charity and justice; mutual good will, mutial purposes, mutual objects, mutual ends and mutual sacrifices. it was @ dream, a fantasie, lying in the far, far distance. Now all was a chaos of conflicting interests, a baviic Of socia! for’ ‘There was no such thing as society. ‘The great reiormers in social science were just get- ting hold of the thread of society, and all were working for or agamst the bond. Certain classes there were who hindered society, who were the fov: Of society, Who Kept back soctety. He would divs the foes of society into two Classes~the hot blooded foes and the cold bloo foe THE WOT-BLOODED FORR, ‘These were sensualista, giuttons, drunkards and ali wandering in pursuit of the pleasures of the body. Their name was legion. They belonged neither to the rich, to the poor, to the great, to the atnall, to the strong nor.to the weak. They lived in public. They filled the streets, stood upon the street corners, tirank, made merry and were known as the Society was armed to put then were organized, we laws were enacted, the courts were in session, the judges sat upon the bench—ail this was to restram them. But the foes could not be put down, and any way they ‘were not the deadliest enemies of society. They were not even @ part of society. They were ou jaws aud excommanicants, They did not make the Jaws; they were the victims. ‘They did not punish; they were the punished. They did not sit on the bench; they stood at the bar, Still they obeyed the benests of the boay and were not in the Jong run the most dangerous to society. ‘hey were talkative, open, frank and communicative, peopie having notuing to conceal, nothing to cover up.

When one of the’ evil ‘Women of His time Wept tears of contrition at his feet, Wiggle had poured out the water of her soul to Him, on! hg nowiedge and confess, He did AOt denouncd yer Did he extenuatey Go and gip no more,” said He; for He knew there were foes of society more deadly than she. Ls COLD BLOODED POPS. ‘These were not creatures of appetite, but cool, Wary, wily, canning, cautions men, guided by mo- tives, metnods and designs, and their work was in Church and State, as professional men, as lawyers, clergymen*and physicians. They were of the best reputation. They were very careful and pradent and counted their pence. Those above them they knew not, those below them they despised. When Jeaving their own order in society they hated it, Sometimes they were rich. Then they judged character, opinions and religion by money, There was but one ciass—the ie. Everything hinged on prosperity, Every law must defend property. They believed in tue gallows, In violence, and in the com- mituing of no offence against weaith, They calied the saint a visionary, the philanthropist a sentimen- talist, By such means the faisified society and spread snares tato watch the unwary fell, Some- umes the coid blooded foe was a politician.

He was @ purveyor of patriotism and a waster of unscrupulous cunning. EDITORS AND KEPORTERS DENOUNCED. It was the editor’s business to sell his paper. He must attract tae multitude to it, He must create & scusation. fle had his spies through society wao spied Out the most sacred secrets and made them public, Reporters and interviewers waylaid gentie- men and reported tueir private conversation. They invaded parlors, were eayes-droppers and listened at keyhoies, Mr. Frothingham continued in his ner- vous, bitier and vituperative vein, evidently without the sympathy of his hearers, to denounce the press. They questioned a man avout nis private affairs and tried to extort famuy secrets and sought by every ingenunity to make them betray themseives. If no information were given a torrent of vituperation was the result, If it was given and it dido’t suit the editor a like resuit followed, The editor would attack & minister or blast the reputation of a delenceless woman. All this was done to sell his paper, The true mission of the press was to Vindicate truth, assist justice and protect virtue; but the press had a fatai Weakness; It could not be noble, Just or true, [{ it were true it would have ceased to betray sacred interests, Asit was it had carried malignity to theg perfection of ingenuity, But tne eailor Was bot the worst foe, It was the Pharisee, the man of supreme piety, Who believed he had been singled out for the choicest piace in the kingdom of heaven. An instance occurred last week. Aman had been associated witn the midnight murder wuich years ago had startled the community. He Was innocent, His whole conduct showed it He (the speaker) had visited him in the Tombs, He was meek and mild inmanner, Pubdiic opinion had pur- sued him, but he had been acquitted. The sugma clung to bim. Years of puolic scorn, bitter- hess and contumely had followed him, He was a social outlaw. Oppressed by the prejudice, he had drifted into evil ways, Despair made him a cheater of the government; stave Prison became his home, He sickened and died, declaring his unocence in the sight of God. Over his body no prayer had been said, no funeral service solemnized. ‘These facts he (the speaker) had learned from the papers; bat, as he had expressed ins utter disbelief im what they printed, he could hardly ask his auditors to believe them.

ANN’S ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH, “The Cathoiic View of che School Subject?— Sermon by the Rev. T. S. Preston. At the morning service on yesterday in St. Ann’s church the Rev. T. 8. Preston delivered an eloquent and argumentative exposition of the views of Cath- olics upon the vexed question of common and de- nominational schoois, basing the discourse upon the First Epistle of St. Paul to the Corinthians, ty., 1-5— “Leta man so account of us as of the ministers of Christ, aud stewards of the mysteries of God. More- over it is required in stewards that a man be found faithful, But with me it ls a very smal! thing that I should be judged of you or of man’s judgment; yea, I judge not mime own self. For I know nothing by myself; yetam I not hereby justified; but he that judgeth me is the Lord,” &c. He saia he intended to deal with the school sub- Ject, which at the moment had such a hold of public attention, and which Catholics regarded as of the very highest importance, and therefore with the deepest interest. Like the rest of the community, Catholics recognized the absolute necessity of edu- cauon; yet in mauy quarters attempts were maae by appeals to prejudice and by wholesale misrepre- sentation to make it appear thatthe Church, in her action in tis matter, slowed an inherent hostility to free Institutions, Thal he was prepared to deny. He loved and admired the freedom of our institu- tions, and yielded to no man in fideuty and devo- tion to them. For his principles he only askeg a free and fair hearing, and if that were not given there Was no such thing in this country as progress, and no conviction. He was contident that an unbiased consideration of this question could oniy lead to one result—namely, admiration for the con- sistency of Catholicism, which watened over aud guarded ler children with more than maternal ten- derness from te cradle to the grave. in examining our Views on tis school question it should be borne in mind tuat the doctrine of Catno- ics tn reference to iaith is diferent from that of other Christians. We believe that our faith came trom God and 18 His gift. We are tally satistied we have the faiuh of Jesus Christ, that we are on the road to eternal life and can attain it by using the means at Our disposal m the Church. Other Chris- tians obtain their belief by exercising their individual judginent and by a process of inquiry and practice «nfering with each tudividual, Here such Christians were in error; for if the revelation of God be not accepted #s it comes from Him there is no founda- tion for belief. We lovk upon our faith not as our property, Dut ag an acquisition of ours, but as a gift of God.’ While Protestants agree with us in many things, they differ irom Us essentially in this, that a8 they have their faith from their own judgment they may Change it wich a change of judgment. The law allows them to do so. Catholics caunotdo so, They do not make their faith and cannot change it; nor can they by consequence permit It to be the battie ground of ‘controversy, doubt and investigation, though they can stoutly deiend it and are willing to give reasons for that faita which is inthem. 1 fixed belief Catholics consider necessary to society, to order, to genuine progress and to the attainment of eternal salvation. With these priaciples for @ groundwork the preacher elaborated tue Catholic view of the school question by reading from the HERALD’s translation of the Pope’s Syllabus the forty-lifth, forty-sixti and forty-seventh propositions, which declared that the State alone should regulate the education of youth, that tre Church had no right to interfere with the systems followed or doctrines taught in schoois, and no veto upon the books Which are used or upon the teachers employed. ‘these principles the Church condemned and held wbe very opposite. She can- not give up the care of her children. Their hearts Must be Cultivated with their inteliects, Following out the action of the Pope in this matter, the Coun- cis Of Baltimore and of New York directed all pas- tors to use their bost efforts to erect denominational schools in which thelr children can learn religion ta conjunction with science; and no more serious oblt- gation resis upow pastors and boogie than to provide such nurseries of piety for “the rising gen- eration, not opposed to the ex- istence common schools. He rather ad- mired them, But it was necessary that such sglools soould be non-sectarian, and each condition barred the doors against Catholics, In connection with history and many questions of the day which inumately bound up with religion opportunities Will constantly arise on which it will become the teacher's duty to clecide some disputed point. ‘This he wili certainly do according to nig religious bias; und thas yoang Catholics would suffer much detri- ment w their faith, ‘lo the mere reading of the Uibie In schools he nad no objection, if it were read by oly. Hehad heard the Bible read in his outh—for it was bia inestimable priviiege, though born and educated outside the church, to have been jea into i by the hand of God—but be bad observed a tendency in teachers to interpret the text always according to their pecuilar views, some of which Jrom their singularity had made a deep impression on him, and to such Varied comments and interpreta- tans of the Word of God Catholics strenuously object. Thus CathoNcs were Jed to the conviction that for them denominational Schools were necessary. They wanted iuore, however. They wanted state aid for such schools, and to it, as loyal citizens who bore their portion of the State burdens, they were en- titled. ‘to ajl other es Of Christians who objecter to the common schools they were willing to accord the same concessions, and to secure it for theu: were content to bear increased taxation. In tiits great and free country it Was not tov much to ask that the principle of live and let live should be recognized. In schools approved by the Church religion would be taught day by day. It should go hand tn band With actence. Tue jure principle of faith implanted in the heart of the-Aatholic child, the gerin of divine love and of eternal beatitude, was not provided for in the system of the public schools, Therefore, as we cannot make use of them, we are entitied to a sepa- rave system, We are taxed for education in our just proportion, The justice of that tax we admit, The State, however, is bouad to recognize a diversity of religions, and the recognition woula be merely nomi- nal and @ farce if Catholics who objected from con- scientuious inotives Lo send their children to the com- mon schools were upon that account deprived of education,. Either no taxation for educational pur- concession to what Catholics demanded — He was ot nt with free institutions. The greatest acatesmen throughout the world ac- cepied this principle. In Engiand, Aespite the pre- judices which existed, it was recognized and adopted. tholic France provided a separate sys tem for all religions, So through Europe generally this flrat principle of religious irecdom was in full force. And one of our OWA best statesmen—W. H, Seward, the Governor of this State in 1s40—adyo- cated it in these forcible terms:— Children of foreigners are found in great numbers in our cities and towns who are lefs unprovided witn teachers who know their language and religion. The public welfare 18 bound up with them as with all pther citizens, and they should be provided with schools in which their language and faith wuuld be taught,” Many objected that Catholics were propagandists, Who shoud be watched, aud mot encouraged. That the Church was and would be propagandist he ad- mitted.

Others objected to™State grants to de nominational schools because it savored of religious eudowment, To endow any region for religion’s sake would, he admitted, be conirary to the spirit of | our free institutions; but in seeking distinct schoole Catholics sougat no State connection whatever. They deprecated the principle of an established Church 0 the strongest terms. Lastly, this movement was looked upon as one hostile to science and progress— a return to the “darkness of the Middle Ages.” That he denied, Of ali the unmeaning fallacies afloat tual ‘was the most spectons and the most meaningless. The Chureh never opposed science or progress. ‘The greatest names in sclence, hterature and art were Catholic. Freedom of thought she did not onncds He exercised it, Those who listened to him did the same. They, a’ Catholics, were perfectly free to ex- amine the extrinsic evidence of revelatious—a feld wide enough for the vastest range of thought—but they were not free, and could not be, consistently wit reason, to examine the intrinsic credibility of a doctrine proposed by God on sufficient evidence. From the country, then, they asked nothing but the exercise of civil and religious freedom and right. WEW CHURCH OF ST. VINCENT FERRER, Dedicatory Services—Sermon by the Rey. Dr. McGlynn, ‘The new church of the Dominican Fathers, corner of Sixty-sixth street and Lexington avenue, Was dedicated yesterday with appropriate ceremonies. Previous to the celebration of tie high mass the Very Rev, Father Starrs, Vicar General and several other priests, along with a number of choir boys, attired in white robes, formed in procession inside the church, and proceeded, chanting the hymns usually sung on such occasions m solemn march around the building. The dedication of the altar, which was very impressive, occurred before the pro- cession started. The dedication ceremonies over the mass was begun, the Rey. Father Wilson, the venerable Superior of the order, being the celebrant. ‘The musical part of the ceremonies was exceedingly fine, the mass being sung in the most mas- terly style. The choruses were rendered in @& manner that could not be sur- passed, and a brass band added to the attractive- hess of the occasion by joing the organ aud the choir in the more impressive portions of the ceremo- nies, The church was crowded Co its utmost capa- city, notwithstanding the miserabie state of tie streets in the immediate neighborhood, consequent upon the “tnaw,’? and a@ large gathering of inter- ested spectators assembled about the doors of the sacred edifice during the services in order to enjoy the delightful music, The sermon was delivered by the Rev. Dr. Mc- Glyna, who took for his text the sixth chapter of St. John. He dilated at great length on the institution of the holy eucuarist, and argued to show that when the lirst consecrated bread and wiue were used in the service of the mass the bread was changed to the actual body of Christ and the wine to his actual blood. ‘The reverend speaker spoke for over an hour, and closed by referring to the Church as the house of God, in which He dispensed His choicest blessings to those who obeyed His commandments. —kyvery new church that rose in the city was a new defence against the vengeance of heaven which the sons of men were cailing down upon the world, and every church could be likened to a lightning rod erecied to avert the curses of a wrathful God and drew down upon the world God’s most favored biessings. fhe new churct buttding ts or brick, of tue Gothic chapel style of the thirteench century.

CHURCH OF THE UIVINE PATERNITY. The Peculiarities of Christ?s Gospel—Sermon by Rev. Dr. Chapin, At the Church of the Divine Paternity the Rev. Dr. Chapin took for the text of his discourse yester- day morning the eighteenth and nineteenth verses of the fourth chapter of the Gospel of St. Luke “The spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He hath anointed me to preach the Gospel to the poor; He hath sent me to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised; to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.” The preacher said that the foregoing passage constituted the text of what was apparently our Saviour'’s irst sermon in Nazareth, the place of His birth, ‘The text, he contended, contained tie real spirit and power of the Gospel; or, in other words, it proclaimed the essenual peculiarity of the Gos- pel. Men sometiines asked, ‘What is it that dis- tinguishes Christianity proper from other forms of Christianity? What is there in Christianity which entities it to be called an original systein?”’ some, perhaps, Were disposed to say it was its miraculous accompaniments, But they must perceive at once, that so faras the external aspect was concerned, there was no peculiarity of that kind in the Gospel, because other systems had their miraculous claiins. After all, the mere miraculous claim of Chrisuanity Was not its peculiar power. In the next place, let them consider the character of the miracles of Curist. They were not mere wonderful works’ of supernatural spiendor and power. In almosi every instance they Were acts of benelicence. They were made the agentsof healing te sick and comfort- ing the aillicted and luting up the bowed down. In fact, in the present day, while there stands no @ priori argument against miracles, notwitistand- ing he believed alarge number of true Christians benueved the miracies rather than the reiigion on account of the miracies. In other words, that the wonder/ul beneficence of Christ rendered to them the miraculous Claims a8 authentic and reasonable. The peculiarity of Christ’s Gospel, then, was its application to the Wants, als and Conditions of humanity. TEMPLE ADATH JéSHURUN. Reformed Judaism—Tie Late DonterenceLecture by Rev. , Einhorn. ‘The first of a series of lectures on the importance and true meaning of the reform movement among the Jews was delivered in German by the Rey. Dr. Einhorn before his congregation, Adath Jeshurun, at tile temple, on West Thirty-nintn street, near Seventh avenue. The reverend gentleman said that the extraordinary excitement whicn the resolutions passed by the late Rabbinical Conference produced, though bringing to the surface a great deal of hate and ignorance, was highly salutary to religion, as vhe greatest danger of Judaism consists tn in difference. Religion has again become a mat- ter of discussion, The honest orthodox are perfectly justified in their opposition to the resolutions passed and the principles estabiished by the Conterence. To them every biblical enactment retains its full force. nn never be abrogated, but only suspended, Their hope rests in the resturation of such # state which will enabie Israel to (aifit atl biblical commands. The Bible has @ whole portion filled with commands tn regard to animal sacri(ices, acriminal law in relation to adultery, to the aese- crauon of the Sabbath and many similar enact- uts which their position does not permit them carry Out tor the present. One of them 14 aiso the cstablishment of a Jewish King, witich, accord- ing to the Talmud, 18 @ positive command of the Bible. ‘ihey argue, 19 it pussiblé that the chosen people, whether living in Russia or in America, Rabbinical Dr. David shall be kept forever from failing atl the (biblical jaws? shall we never have a king of our own royal blood—never be able to carry out the death penalty against the desecra- tors of the Sabbath’ Why, God has promised us never to forsake us, whether living in Russian or to American exie, Hence their longing fora return to Palestine for the rebuilding of the temple; tor the restoration of a Jewish state; for the advent of a personal Messiah. Reformed Judaism confesses likewise a Messianic belief, and It rests lis wiois foundation on it, but entertains a diferent coucep- tion of it, 1 will not speak of the inpossibilliy of crowding the present Jewish population, leaving out eveu the teu tribes said to be lost, or as the orthodox belter, the tulllions of bodies that are to rise trom ar ake'2 into such @ small territory as Palestine, aud of the eternal segregation of Israel, as ih contradictidn with the doctrine of God, as the father of all men, who created all rational beings in his images and loves them ail, We, too, believe, ia the selection of Israel; but not as the ravbis do, to be for. ever separated, but in the mission of Israel to spread the light of God among ail nations unul humanity shall form one congregation, one family in God. The Bible is tous likewise “the book of books,” but not containsng tle last revelation of God, aud not recog. nizing the jegal enactments therein as the highest criterion Of morality, It is senseless and heathenisn vo believe that God's spirit could be caged im certain letters, certain forms, certain ages.

The spirit which prevailed therein has abolished me We houor the Bivie as the foundation of all civiization by recognizing the snblimity of its divine spirit. Were our old prophets rebveis aguinst tae Bible when they prociaimed aioud the purity of the heart to be superior to criminal sacrifices and ceremonial worship’ Were our rabbis revela when they prociaimed, “ihe law of the land is jaw.’ The throwing off Of ceremonies ts deemed by some a8 @ decay of Judaiwm, waile, on the contrary, it signifies tuat the time has come when it has obtamed maturity and strength to conceive fully its moral mission aid can carry it out without codangering its Own existeace. Israel had a King during the first temple, and was idolatrous yet; lo the second it had none and offered up its all for te religion; after the exile it had no temple even, and stood the severest trials. Do we believe les# in & Messianic reign’ @frue, We have outgrown the Idea or restorauod® of the slave uuder @ #09 |. of Jesus—composed of the children al of David as in contradiction witn the Bible, the best of republicans, in which Samuel speaks of a human’ king as sinful and as derogatory to God's Ki m. That Messianic state, however, in which men will, ty Israel, have become the ple of God under the reign of the Great King of the Universe, and which seems to draw nearer and nearer—in that reign we believe. Ceremonies will always be necessary, but Such that have life in them—that reflect the moral consciousoess of advanced civilization. ‘The Mes- Stab we expect is Israel itself, as taught and pro- claimed by Isaiah 1, or the Great Unknown, as the Biblical critics name him, tn the fifty-third chapter of Isatah. On such authorities do we say in our Prayer Book, “Israel the Messiah.’ The men of night may how! and roar; tne materialisis may scorn. Truth will prevati, and the advocates of it wiil heed neither one nor the other, but proceed on their mission, RELIGIOLS REVIVALS IN THE NEWBURG D'STRICT. The Newburg district of the New York Conference (Methodist) is just now unusually favored with manifestations of the revival spirit. This ‘district’? stretches along the river, weat side, from Saugerties on the north to Newburg on the south, and com- prises about thirty-five ‘“appointments’—meaning by these preaching tions as well as the Metho- distio “circuits.” The memberstup of the district is about 6,000. At the following potnts revivals have commenced and protracted meetings are carried on with results thus far ag given:— Surling Fuarnace~ Rev. Horace Wood, pastor; twenty-five conversions. On Sunday evening the pastor bapuzed no jess than seventeen infants. So many squalling specimens of humanity in minia- ture were perhaps never before gathered together at one time and place in Grange county for a similar purpose. Fine Bush—Rev. Mr. Curry, pastor; 130 conversions; new church society organized and new house of worship to be erected, services having heretofore been held in a school house, Revival on the wane simply irom lack of material to work upon.

The Excelsior Iron Works Nearly All De-= stroyed—Loss $50,000. At twenty-five minutes to two o’clock yesterday afternoon smoke was seen issuing from the base- ment of the Excelsior Iron Works, extending from No, 340 to No, 352 East Fourteenth street, near ave- nue D, and before assistance arrived had commu- nicated to the office occupied by the company overliead, The fire tad pained such headway before the arrival of the fire department tuat the entire Duilding, three stories high, fronting on Fourteenth street, was completely destroyed. The building is three stories high, built in the shape of ad L, having a fronting on Fourteenth street or 150 feet. That portion of the building sltu- ated tn the rear, containing all the old patterns, was saved. The first and second foors of the building were occupied as an oflice and machine shop,and the third floor as a pattern shop, the patterns and tools all being destroyed, thus throwlig a large number of men out of employment. ‘The fire is supposed to have originated from the hotair jurpace in the basement.
