RELIGIOUS, The Churches of the Metropolis Yesterday. Interesting Discourses by Revs. Henry Ward Beecher, Chauncey Giles, Drs. Hepworth, Ewer and Everett. The really beautiful weather yesterday was taken advantage Qi by. ail who could or would attend divine servicein the various churches of thiscity and violnity, ‘The churches generally were well filled, but the sermons were more tuan ordinarily orthodox and uninteresting. Those discourses whica were out of the general routine willbe found condensed in the following reports, PLYMOUTH CHURCH. Mr. Beecher on the Prodigal Son—Man Come ing unto Himself—The Good Kesoives of Men at the Funerals of Good Men—The Low and High Purposes of Life. Mr, Beecher seiected for his text the Gospel of St. Loke xy, 1%, first clause—‘And when he came to bimseli.”” He had selected from the exquisite parable of the Prodigai Son this fragment, because it opened up some of the profoundest (tepths of the human heart, This prodigal appears to have gone through an ex- perience in which every passion was mave to sein- tiljate and work itself out until! he came to the very dregs at last, and those dregs were poverty, Reggary and hunger. These took the place of wild intoxication, aud lower pleasures, and this prodigal Was ag wretched og before he had been happy. When bis true mavhood came out, for it seemed maturai to suppose that the bent of his nature was mot towards tis profigacy, he came unto himself, That history might threw mueh hgnt upon the Course men are pursuing, and especiaily to a large class of men who do not induige in amy of these excesses, It was important to determine first what man’smanhood was, Men were higher than the animais, and te reason he was higher wasinat man bad reason, aud in two aspects—First, that reason wae in its governing power. In animals it only acted-occasionally, but in man {t shone throughout ail circles of Hie, determining its joys, its aims ana teends. By we force of tus reason man was able ¥o prophec y aud to look before and after. ‘The next distinguishing characteristic was the moral sense of man, from which the performances Qi our iiie are measured by obiigations and standard of right and Wrong that disiuguished hiui from the animals, whose iimitations were conilued to the Seuse of pleasure and jam. Man bad also a spiritual re, Which developed tue ideas of purity, seit Jenial and superseuuousuess, He said stiperenu- ousness rather than supernatural, because ne be Meved that reiigion Was as natural to man as lie itwei, All men who were conieuted, therefore, to Temain ia tie development ouly of ther jower Taculnes migit be traly said to have forsuken him- sell, Now every man Who Was a inechanic, and who worked the lower ineuities Of is nate only, Was not doing any, Wrong to Lunsell by being & mechanic, Duc the wrong Was that he was only # mechanic. It was the sawe with tue farmer aud the marimer, Or any otner bandicraft; tue trouble was that me: were only these, and nut these and something more. Mr. Beecher, after descriving the men who gave themseives up to weir lower appetites, said that there Was a great muititade of wen who live. below their trie nature, who did not live so low a lie as that, but Whose lives were reputable, but who do not live except for sume one purpose. Now, if the young man would write down what be really was Boing to be, thar which was edly hus gm in hfe, ne would pe ashamed of it. w if he was to teach the docirine of total depravity mapy who heard lum wouid goto geep, aud others, Whose reugious education haa been broader, perhaps, would resist it. “yet T ail.men we sifu.” Is tere one of you Wao can sit at the bar oi your own Judgment uncon- demnes? and you excise yourselves by sayin “aly feeunys curried me away.” You are con- stramed to admit Wat you have acted irrauvonaliy, and that you do tuings vo-day for wiuch you wilt be sorry to-morrow.

ZO CHURCH, The Modern Devices of Satan Against Chriss tianity—A Voice from the Titantixte—ser- mon by Rey. Dr. F.C. Ewer. Before the New York branch of the American Choreli Chion Rev. Dr. FC, Ewer preached a sermon Jast evening at Zion church, taking for his text I1Co- rinthians, i, 11—“Lest Satan should get an adyan- tage of us; for we are not ignoraut of his devices.” ‘The great contest of time, said the reverend speaker, iw tue struggle between Satan and Curlgt tor the Deart, iuteliect and will of mmortalmen.. All other contests on earth eltuer merge into this, as skir- mishes of the great battle, or, if they have no con- nection with it, sink into insignificance before it. The jong continuance and the desperate character of the struggle argue tne immense power of Satan, and the diversity of the enginery which from age to ago he uses against the Kingdom of God bespeak is almost exhaustiess ingenuily. His most dangerous and most damaging attacks are always occult, Only once has he made on any jarge scale an assault from without on the kingdom of God, 1 allude to the attempr, in the first two centuries, to crush out Christianity by bioody persecutions, But ever since that time his main efforts have been im secret. Discovered and ex- posed in one effort he betakes himself to another. ‘The history of his doings for the past one thousand six hundred years is only a conscoutivestory of attempts so to beguile the friends of God, as to wield them, unwittingly to themsolves, against the very cause of Christ, which, in an honest heart, they are 8 (riving to advance, ‘It is a boid plan} @ plan calcuiated, if successial, to work more serious Gamage tian soy other, His daring in adopting it and Its ingenuity jn carrying it out are preternatural.

The speaker then gaye a short his- tory of tne origin’ of the several books of the New Testament, Claiming that they were written to con- firm those already instructed, While mon-Catho- liclty, Inspired by the subtle geniug ‘trom below,” has given the Bible to the world to find the truth for self, In this, through the agency of sincere but deluded inan, Satan bas accomplished what the New ‘Testament warnea us against. ‘Lhe Scriptures were the rule of faith lor the Chureh, but were never m- tended ‘to be @ rule of fuitn for the individual.

George MH. Hepwortii. ‘The Church of the Messiah, corner of Thirty-fourth street and Park avenue, was filled yesterday morn- ing by the usual large and fashionable conyrega- tion, Rev. George H. Hepworth, the pastor, preached, Ais subject was *Unitarianism and Trin tarlamsm Compared,” a doctrinal Babject, bat, m hts manner of treating it and the eloquent beauty of his comparisons, bereit of the ordinary dogmas of sermons of this class. He took for his text St. Matthew xix., 17—"Why callest thou me good ? There 18 none good but one, and that 1$God.” After men- tioning the circumstances under which these words were uttered he proceededito announce the teachings embodied tn tue same, One party in the dialogue Was an inquirer aud the otuer Was a teacher, What could the young man understand but this, that God was not standing before him; that God was in heay- en; that he, Jesus Christ, wio was speaking, differed in persopality from God; that God was su- preme and good, and that there was none other good but Him? For himself he was willing to take Jesus Christ as his teacher, He made no mistake with regard to himself, Me could not miscall him- self, Did he not by the words he used toward the young man imply the difference between God and mimseif? OF course he did. He approached atopic, pursuant to their request, of tue utmost importance. Jt was a matter of larger iin- port than they could dream. If (ms conception of God was mystic ttey would find tt difficult to go to him as a son to a father for what they wanted. It Was of the utsoost lnportance that everybody should have well assured views and firmly set notions of God, He nad such perfectly defined ideas of God that, sinfal and iusperiect as he was, be could come to him a6 in cuiidhood days he would throw his arms about tne neck of his mowher. His mother was im heaven, and 80 was God. In large commercial centres fashion rules in religious imavters a8 in otuer things. Trini- tartamism was the modern fashion. How was it with Unitarlanism ? 1¢ was not the modern fashion- able religion, but if was the oldest theology im Lue world. It was as old as creation. Moses was a Unitarian, ana spent his iife teaching the Jews in the wilderness that there was but one Ged, whoin alone they could serve. David was @ Uuttarian, and his songs breathe this belief, So was it with ali the old prophets. They worsmpped with oue worship; they looked with our eyes, and they recognize: God as the grand centre of creation. In the sacred Scriptures tue equivalent of ‘Trinity does not occur, while that of the amity of God ovcurs over three hundred = tme: All deviominations—the Roman iy x Catholic, old Greek Churcit and ail cld Clu Jegends—agree that the Scriptures do not assert Trin- itartanism. How was it, then, that in the nineteen century the doctrine of Trimitariauism has beconic so. prevalent? Icwas claimed to be founded on the New Testament. fie reivrved ty the diferent Gospeis of the New Testament and claimed that Matthew, Mark, Luke and St. John were all Unitarians. Ail the Aposties When they weut to Athens, to Ktniopia. and elsewnere preacied God the umt. Why did they doit? Because 3 Christ told them repeat- ealy to do so. He told’ them that ne could ao nothing unless the Vather heiped him. Language can be twisted very stron ly, but tie Aposties did not twist tt. They told whut they meant and they meant what they said. From this pomt he traced the continued Leaching of ie same docirme by ihe early Christian fathers, and iarther that up vo the year 360 the word trinity was not used in any creed in its moderh use. Since then the synods nave de- fined and amplified the dogma. Could they believe tat that which really and absolutciy was one could be three or could three be one? The merest scnool- boy knows better. If this was applicd to anything else we should Jangh at it. Because it apphed to reflgion men accepted it, not as logic butasa bihd “faith, After enlarging on this potot at consfderable length he reverted to the teachings of Christ bearing upon this point, These were mys- terlous bearings, but take tae whole book and they would arrive ut DO Other conclusion than that Jesus Chest was not God, and Chat tle never claimed suca high and sovereign personatity, He would not ad- vance it as an argument, but he started back at the idea of God comipg to thts earth and being treated as Jesus Christ was. Spit im God's face, thrust a spear in God's side—the idea was absurd and re- volung. Altogether, he aimed to show in tue first place that Unitariantsm was the oldest theology in the world; in the second place, that Trimitarianisn was absurd and contrary to ail human reason, and thirdly, that Unitarianigm Was the onty doctrine that gave Satisfaction to the wants and longings of the hawan soul. CHUICH OF THE REW JZRUSALEM, The Valley of Dry Bones=Sermon by Kev. Chauncey Giies. A humerous congregation assembled yesterday forenoon at the New Jerusaiem church (Swedenbor- giany in East Thircy-fifth street, between Fourth and Lexington avenues. After the usual morning ser- vice Rev.

Lecture by Kev. Eather Wm. “Nazareth and Carmel.” At the Koman Catholic Church of the Nativity, Second avenue and Second»street, the Rev, Wm. Everett delivered a very interesting account of his travels through the Holy Land. Prefaclug nis lec- ture with a general survey of the Holy Land, its biblical history, its general characteristics, and the large number of pilgrims visiting it yearly, he gave a very claborate description of Naza- reth. Nazareth is ima valley about one miie long, running cast aud west, and ouly one quarter of a mile broad, and is shut in by fifteen hills, The houses are irregularly | a:e1, butit of stone, com- fortable and substantial in appearance, The streets are irregular and im the most wretched eondition, the more noticeable ay we people there seemed to be of a more intelligent class than the other dwellers in the land, At the further end of the village i#'the Fountain of the Virgin,” the resort of ail traveliers and of the women of tae village, as 1t seems to be he only sprmg in the place. ‘Tis spring may be called the newspaper of tie village, as here all the news of the day 18 obtained by the yosstp of tne women. ‘The women of Nazareth are straight and erect in their carriage, have much grace and dignity of motion, are tinely formed and their faces are the most beau- Ulul in Palestine, ‘Their dress is also graverul, con- sisung of drawers, @ close fitting jacket and a long wile veil.

Einkorr, On the Seve enth Resolution of the Rabbinical Confere ence—ihe Hebrew Langunge in the Synre Bogue. Rey. Dr. Efuhorn continued his lecture on tie Conference, at the Temple Adath Jesuran, before a large and intelligent andience. It 18 deplorabie, the lecturer sald, that the resolulion requires co be fur- ther explained, The prayer book in use im the tem- pie contains more Hebrew than what was ever re- quired by the Tatmud, as tho latter requires that prayers should be recited in tie vernacular, The Hebrew language was used In the synagozue, not so much on account of its sacredness, and while It waa formerly understood by the darge majority, but be- cause the synagogical worstip was arrangok in imitation of the temple service. Prayers were recited mornings (Shachrith). Additional service (Mussaf), and evenings (Minchanh) As in the temple tue priest represented the people and Worshipped in their name, so iater tne public reader Was delegated, In imitation, and as long as he understood the prayers it was immaterial whether the others understood them. He would not cast & refi¢ction on the devotion of the father, but to them, Even if the meaning of the word was biddea the language ol the heart was lervent. At the mention of the word Jerusalem their whole being was moved by longing, pain and hope, and their battle cry, “fear, O Israel,” ascended iroin the depths ot ti souls Up to heaven. Bat to us tia spirit is Jost and only the dead jetter remamed—a volume of prayers Without soul, Without Me power of elevation, Or and choir cannot fli thls void; Wey cannot conso.e the atilicved nor heal the beartsore nor satisly those Who seek God.

A GrANTESS.—The fat men of Maine held a conyen- tion, at Lewiston, om the 2\st.

The cliques nave had @ less impressiona- ble’ market’ to- work upon® ‘this year and have falled to stimulate the old enthusiasm. Con- sidering the obstacle thus‘ presented thelr success in the “‘buli” movement which is thelr programme for the spring’months has not been indifferent. Prices advance atmost insensitiy or rathér very slowly, but they steadily climo from week to week. A re- trospect of prices for the past month will show that despite the intermediate duiness and spasmotic dectines th shares the general course of the market isupward. During tle week there has beett corfsid- erable activity in Hock Istana, which nuctuated be-" tween 1034; 8 108%, the street being treated to a sen- sation in the shape of adiscovery that two millions of new stock had been issuéd in the summer, for the non-registration of which the name of Rock Island was struck from the het atthe Stock Exchange and the stock driven to the sidewalk, where the dealings Vive recollections of the Erie expulston of last win- ter. It is aificult to comprehend'the motives which at present gaide the'maniputation of thts stock. Its refdsal to “break? in @ pante upon tite announee- ment of the overissue and the heavy purchases or the past few days, under which the price on Savur- day reactea to 10634, seem to ind.cate that thie mside clique, whd went short’ of it from 138’downward, have courted the discovery of the over-issue for the purpose of bringing tu their stock. The fact that the new issue was authorized Was well Known to the public. Indeed, the directors’ retain the right toissue (wo mititions more when they see fit. De- spite tius overhanging contingency the price has been firm. Rock isiand has been a footbail among the speculators, WlO, knowing the attraction it pos- sesses as the short connecung link between tne Pacific Railway and all the various ratiway iimes of the East, have heen able to operate upon the public confidence, Rock island, like Erie, isamong tue great railways of the country, but like it has unfortunately fallen into speculative control. Tbe ratlway list was in general acuve und the week closed upon a marked improvement in their prices. The feature of the ensuing week promises to be a struggle in Northwest, of which Daniel Drew is reported largely short, while Commodore Vanderbilt is said to have been buying it ever since S¢ptembet. Now, as the veteran Commodore has fh old score to settle with the ex-president of Erie, and has been patiently biding his time for revenge and watching for an op- portunity to entrap bis oid adversary, the street looks for an interesting contest in tue immediate future bewween the two giants of Wail street. THE GOLD MARKET was dull and the price heavy. The abundant supply Of gold has defied the effort of tne “buiis” to keep up the premium, especially as the stronger specula- tive combinations have elther been out of the mar- ket or on the “bear” side of 1t, The speculative spirit has almost abandonod the Gold Room of late and transferred tts interest to the stock marker GOVERNMENC BONDS have sympathized with gold and declined, The foreign demand has been light, particularly in Lon- don, where the new Russian joan is marketing. The government pought two millions during the week, ut as the holders seemed 'to have large amounts to sell the strengthening influcnce of the purchase was counteracted.
