St. Mary’s church was originally located in Sheriff street and soon after being removed to its present site was destroyed by fire, when the edifice was rebuilt in 1833, At that time the parish of St. Mary’s in cluded, together with its large one in this city, Williamsburg anda large portion of Long Island.

There is a great similarity in many respects between this mass and the three-voiced one, but this is far richer and on of men are wealth, place, power, learning and fame. In the highest sense these are not great. ‘They are mere externals of the soul. And yet in some sense they are great, God does not despise them, and men should not, God does not fornid men toseek them. On the contrary, itis the duty of all e men to seek all these in a certain measire and a cer- tain way. It is the selfish seeking that is wrong— seeking them ‘‘for thyself.” The doctor went on to show this from several points of view. First, all these ‘great things” are not had for the asking; they are obtained with dim- culty some of them, by fraud some of them, But the dificulty, the preacher admitted, was not a good reason for not secking anything if it were right to have and were sought in the right ways; but in these cases there isa second reason—namely, that they invanably disappoint when thus obtained. Take the first a8 an instance. Cas any man be found who Wil admit that a colossal turtuue, built up with difti- oulty and for SELFISH PURPOSES, SATISFIED HIM ?

Father O'Reilly, pastor of St. Mary’s, ascended the pulpit and delivered an eloquent discourse on the pel of the day—St. John, Xvi., 16—“A little while and ye shall not see Me; and again a littie while and ye shail see Me, a I A the Father,” &c, in his ourse the reverend gentieman called attention to the corruptions existing in the human wart, particularly in our present day and in our own country. He dwelt graphically upon the tena- city with which men of our day cling to the things of tis world, while they ignore and caré not vo hear anyihing relative to apaceast matters.

The soprano announces the subitine tragely of Valvary and the chorus murmur ihe wor's in accents of grief. The chorus then asks in passionate tones of sorrow,. Zitam pro novis (aud for us) and the soprano answers in the affirmative in mournful and awe siruck measures. The tigures, one and all, are kaleidoscopic im their variations of the principal theme, and yet they are simpie to the highest degree.

Beverley Betts. At this church Rev. Beveriey Betts last evening preached to a congregation of about thirty persons, chiefly ladies, selecting for his text the words in the fourth chapter of St. Panl’s Epistle to the Corinth- lans:—‘ The things we see are temporal, but those we do not see are eternal.” The preacher, at the com- mencement of his discourse, said that the early Christians found great comfort in these words of Holy Paul. They lived in times of persecution and suffering, When the name of Christian was a byword and reproach; but they found their trials less bitter When they looked forward to the eternal weight of glory in store for them. ‘They performed their daily duties calmly; but th ir minds were ele- vate above worldly affairs, and they looked beyond their trials to the eternaP joys of heaven because they bore in mind anid acted on the words of St. Paul, that ‘che things we see are temporal, but those we do not see are eternal.” Christians nowadays, in like manner, should derive from these words com.ort and encouragement, because the trials here below are transitory, but the reward is eternal. Christians should look forward to the glory Which awaits them after this world has passed away. Men become so absorbed in THE AFFAIRS OF THIS LIFE, in their business and occupations, that they, for the Ume being, forget the lie to come—iorget that this life 1s merely @& pligrimage to their eternal home. ‘They should reflect that such conduct will exclude them from the presence of God as effec- tually as great crimes.

There was much force in the exhortation of Paul to the Corinthians that in order that they might be wise they should become fools, Solomon was a wise man, Yet in this book, satd to have been written by him, there occurs a chapter which if taken as a law for human affairs would have long since destroyed the human race. In truth, this was @ book so full of les—practical lies—and so much at variance with human nature, that when a revision of the canon of Scripture is made it must be struck out.
