A large congregation gathered in this beautifal echurch yesterday to hear @ discourse irom Dr. Chapin on the manifestations of God’s power in na- ture and among men. His text was Psalms Ixv., 1—“Who stilleth the noise of the seas, the nvise of their waves and the tumult of the people.” The text expresses the thought that must arise in every human soul who has received a biesslug from God and seen his goodness in his sanctuary. Is the God of nature the God of grace also? The text refers especially to fis dealings with the material world and with humanity. He stilleth the waves of the scas and the tumults of the people. “There are two things,” sald a famous German philosopher,” tat always inspire me with awe—the starry heavens above and the soul of man within.” In regard to the material world there are only two consistent views that can be taken of it— ‘one, the irreligtous, which asserts the SELF-BXISTENCE AND ETERNITY OF MATTER and denics the existence of a divine mind gnd will controlling and directing the forces and laws of natu and the other, the reilgious view, as ex- reel in this psalm. It shocks many of us to hear men deciare that tere 18 no God, but it ought to shock us much more to hear men acknowledge God and yet live day after day in utter disregard of His law and in practical denial of his authority, His name ds treated as the lightest thing that can be BHOT FROM HUMAN LIPS, They believe Him to be a righteous God, put in tice they live in the daily neglect of right doing. Ib 18 painiul indeed to see men who believe in God ‘thus living in opposition to [fis will. There are some Teligious persons who resign all their faith to the claims of science and yet prevend that tkcy are hold- ing on firmly to the statements of Christianity, but they are virtually on the other side. One issue or ‘the other must stand. Hither nature is self-made or it is divinely controlled. The man_ of selence ts bound to determine and to believe that an intellt- gent mind and will controls nature, and That there isa higher and a better life beyond unis Material one. aud tis velicf must not be regarded as a devout exaggeration, but as a devout reality, and the Hebrew writer Was correct when he de- Clared that the God who siljeth the wayes of the Bea alsostilleth the tumulis of men. Our highest conceptions and tracst Kopes and purest life must be founded upon faith in God, He must be in nature as well as In grace, and Lf there are no prints of his footsteps on THE GEOLOGICAL STAIRWAY leading up through tne ages—if ne trace of him ap- pears in the astronomical firmainent—if he is net apywhere in the physical world, then where is he at. ali? flaw hides him instead of revealing aim, then Jaw is everything, and with the materiai scaffolding of reilgion tae dopes of mankind inust fall. Toe Spiritual realities, however, remain, though the me- dium through which we hear of them is gone. if the text be not the experience of mankind, then there is no God for our souls, and we have no souls, And when all that is spiritaai 13 gone down man’s lower nature his baser purposes will -come forth more promineuily. The forces of nature carry men along as the waves of the sea do a piece of driftwood, lf they fall in with the current, well; but if they resist tney are broken in pieces, These forces existed beiore man, and they will exist after him. The Doctor here described the peculiarities of tne'sea to Mlustrate the force of the simile used in whe text and God’s power in stilling its waves, and then he Teplied to the infidel, ‘the elements are not our Masters, for there is One above them who suilleth ‘the Waves of the seas and saith to the winds, < “BE STILL)? Man is dependent upon nature, and gives great significance to it and interprets it. We can con- gelve of the earth’s existence without man; but it has no significance witiout man. Man gathers from nature fruits, and leaves betind him achicve- ments that give to it its signiticance. Everywhere Wwe discern perpetual commotion, human activity, tumuits o: the people. The Orientals, who were be- Neved to have been so firmly settled in ancient cus- toms that nothing could disturb them, feel the m- uence of this commotion, und new ideas are con- tinally moving and influencing them, ana tney are borrowing largely from our Western and Christian civilization, ‘The idea of acentral settled peace expressed in the term stilleth was beautiutly brought out by the ga sped and learned divine, and the power that holds and controis the elements in nature and the oan of men was deciarea to be Goa. In view of PERPETUAL COMMOTION IN NATURE and among men we can more readily understand Christ’s gractous prouises to give rest and peace to the weary. But this peace can only be obtained by falling in voluntarily with God’s plans, and when this is done then nature and man in their varied aspects will be found cheeriully accompushing the divine purposes. Every winter changes to spring, and so these commotions of nations tat we now be- hoid must resuit in settled peace. An unpressive application of these thoughts was then made to the q@ongregation, and the sermon ended, APOLLO HALL. Mr. Thomas Gales Forster on Spiritualism— The Roving Spirits of No Man’s Land—The Reporters wio0 Draw Their Own Picture. Mr. Thomas Gales Forster’s medium discussed yesterday morning before the Soc.ety of Progressive Spiritualists at Apollo Hall, corner Broadway and Twenty-eighth street, The meeting was well ap tended by mediums of both sexes and by others of spiritual proclivities. The greater part of the audi- ence were of the shady side of life. The music and singing was, to use a vulgar saying, a one horse affair, and the performers made up by volume of sound what they lacked in harmony and variety. Mr. Forster and three other medi- ums of the male and female persuasion occupied the platform. Mr. Tnomas Gales Forster 1s a gentleman of about sixty years of age, of middie height, and possesses an intellectual head, with a peculiar expression abo ut the eyes. He has a won- deriul flow of language, and makes ample use of it. He never descends to plain English, and may be said to SCALE THE SKIES in his mgh fights of rhetoric about the grand, the beautitul and the sublime. His bursts of eloquence are ffuly dazzling, and the jum- ble of scientific and unusual expressions which are pourea forth in torrents amaze, but fail to reach the understanding of those who are not educated upto spiritualism. His high sounding Thapsodies and fights of fancy take tim off to no man’s land and leave the imtellect of the unimpas- sioned listener in a dense fog. Still, Mr. Forster is a genius tn his way, and if hig eloquence were em- ployed on a more tangible subject would cast many &@ popular preacher in the shade. ‘The drift of Mr. Forster’s discourse ran on the text Job, xxxil., 8—‘Bul there is a spirit in man.” He said:—Andrew Jackson Davis truthfully. said there is _no division between scierce, philosophy, meta- physics ana religion; for the first is the rudiment and basis of the second, the second illustrates the first and typifies the third, and the fourth per- vades and comprehends them all and flows sponta- neously to higher degrees of knowledge and perfec- tion. Hence that religion which cannot be sustained by scientific demonstrations and philosophical de. ductions 1s of little benefit to the minds of the pres- entage. The literal interpretation of Genesis with regard to the creation of the world and history of man is wholly untenable. ‘Che inculcation of the spiritual phenomena are more and more fully sus- tained, and the effectual fires of Judean literature are rapidly paiing before the glo- Tious sunlight of the gospel of to-d: THE EXISTENCE OF MATTER, Those who are familiar with nature’s divine reve- Jations will understand the theory that ali matter comprised in the vast array of the material worid existed at one time in one vast mass without rorm and vold. It consists of certain simple substances, denominated elements, of which there are sixty- four; they are the primary bases of all matter, Hence it is legitimate to reason by analogy that the simple substances of our sphere, such as the gases, Metals and earths, are as lable to exist in any of the astral systems as in this globe, Each world shines in the galaxy and floats upon the sea of unl- versal harmony. ‘Science has also demonstrated that whether matter consists of the number of elements named or of but one it 1s ltable to a variety of changes. As for the purpeses of scientific demonstrations and philosoplitcal deduc- tons it is legitimate to assume that matter is sub- ject to continuous changes. Our globe, under this sublime chronology of science, existed originally in ® heated condition, revolving from east to west. How beautifully does the law of attraction bespeak the grandeur of the infinite Father of the Universel The speaker continued in this strain and wound up ‘With this grand climax:—There is nothing new out- Side of man.

The divine power of God has become incar- nated in the flesh, not simply in the MAN OF NAZARETH, but Inevery human being as his great family. If you define the mystery of God God is dethroned and ou iuke his place. The other religions are dethren- ing God because they define Him, We spiritualists cannot define God, thank God | ALL MEN ARE INNATBLY GOOD, and not innately bad. This ought te be promulgated throughout the world, In alluding to the enemies of Spiritualism the speaker said:—They may hack our reputation to pleces, but they cannot touch our characters, We have been slandeérea, but this oppo- sition has had a reverse effect, and you may assuine at when any editor or reporter is found waducing e character of any man and woman because he or she is @ Spiritualist, that that individual sat for the picture which he draws. (Applause.) In conclusion, the speaker stated that “his medium? will discourse this evening, at 74 o'clock, @bout the facts of the Bible and the facts of moral Spiriualism. Any one who believes in the im- faipility of the Bible shonid step ferth this evening, in order that he may hear what the spirit has to say to him. The congregation then dispersed, ST. STEPHEN'S ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH. Sermon by the Rev. Father Henry“ Devo- tion to the Blessed Virgin.” The Rev. Father Henry delivered the sermon at St. Stephen’s church, Twenty-eighth street, near Lox- ington avenue. He took for his text that portion of the epistle of the day which reads, “From the be- ginning and before the world was created,” &c, He then went onto speak of the veneration that was due to the Virgin Mother of God. The Church had set aside that day to celebrato the feast of ner patronage, and in celebrating itand all the other feasts the Church observed in her honor we were DOING MUCH FOR OUR SALVATION as well as performing a duty which was pleasing in the sightof God. When we showed veneration for the Virgin we professed our faith in that mystery of our religion which is the origin of her greatness— the incarnation of our Lord. Veneration for her showed that one eniertained sentiments of grati- tude and love for God for having redcemed us trom eternal ruin. The thought that He selected her as the instrument by which the Redeemer was to come nto the world for our sake only, and not to add to His own glory, shouid of itself make us love God and worship Him devotedly. Itshke was pieasing to Hum why should ste not be worcuy of respect. If we admired her for ber many virtues, wny should Wwe uot honor her to whom Ged had done such honor? There were many reasons why we should all profess and cherish SENTIMENTS OF LOVE AND RESPECT for the Movher of God. +"fhe Lord possessed me in the beginning of His ways—I was set up from all eternity.’ Tuese words app! to the Virgin; for she Was chosen from all eternity to do a special work. When tho mptton of the worla was decided upon she was selected to take & part in the great act, There was no person onearth then In whom God could rest the plentitude of His divinity, so he made her perfect to accomplish His dvsign. Thus it was. that the sinless conception of the Saviour wok place. All God’s works displayed WONDE CONSISTENCY and harmony. ‘The means He employed were always beautitatiy adap’ed to the end Wileh He desired to attain. He was the Holy of Holies, and although the ancient tempie, 80 beautitully decorated, was never dwelt in by Him, yet He chose as His dwelling tho body of the Virgin. She Was the most perfect Work that ever came out of His hands. She had a mission to perform on earin besides bringing lato the world its Saviour, She was the model of every Virtue, and she was set up, as it were, us an example of purity for all of us, Though she’ was Queen o- Heaven, now she knew what it was to su poverty and persecution. So, if her virtues exci our admiration, her sufferings ought to excite our love, We should follow with her in THE BLOODY FoOrsTers of her Divine Son to Mount Calvary. sorrow with her when We could the hammer struck the nails into His divine hands, and when all was over and the sacrifice was com- plete, and we saw her stand at the foot of the cross, her maternal heart torn with agony because our sins had put to death Him she loved so dearly; she was, indeed, worthy of our pity and ad- miration., Her son, who died for uson ecurth, and she, who suered so in witnessing his sufferings, Were still in heaven, the same Son and Mother they were on earth, Their love for one another was just the same as It Was then; their love for mankind still existed, and she was as powerful now In interceding with Him as sue ever was in this world, Hence we could approach her with confidence and beg her in- tercession without fear. The reverend speaker th ctosed with an earnest exhortation to the congrega- Uon to always be devoted to the Mother of Goa. RELIGIOUS SERVICES OX BOARD CF THE UNITED STATES SHIP GUERRIERE. After the usual preliminary service Chaplain Dor- rance selected his text from Malachi, lii, and a part or the eighth verse:— “WILL A MAN ROB GOD ?”” In the context God accuses the Jewish people of having left His ordinances and of neglecting His Worship. He charges them of robbing Him of titles and offerings. In this they manifested sueh a love for the world, such a disregard for His commands, such feelings of selfishness, that God charges them of being guilty of flagrant transgressions and pronounces a curse upon them. AS then so now; they who withhold what God requires may justly expect his curse instead of his blessing. ‘They are robbing God. Let us briefly consider the nature, guilt and consequences ef robbing God. I presume there are none before me that will deny they are sinners both by mature and practice. The evidence is too piain tobe denied; for itis a matter of con- sciousness, of experience, of observation, and no man will deny the evidences of the senses. But while you admit the fact many are disposed te view thelr moral condition more as @ calamity than as one of guilt before God. To be aecused of rob- bery, @ crime of such magnitude, such guilt and of such DANGER TO THE PEACE and good order of society, you would feel, and per- haps justly, that Ga Were grossly slandered, and demand investigation and preof immediately. And yet men do swear, do lie, do get drank, do commit adultery, do rob. They will rob the government, rob their fellow men, and would feign reb God of his jus- tce, turn vice into virtue and reb crime of its punish- ment. They do evil that good may come. With them the end sanctifles the means, and the good to be attained divests the means, however wicked, of all its guilt, Do you ask wherein or in what particulars your Tobbery consists? We an- swer, first, in witholding trom Him your affections. God has a right to them. He is your Creator, your benefactor and preserver. He formed and endowed the soul with its wonderful capacities and gifts, Again, your robbery consists in not devoting & proper ameunt of your time to THE WORK OF SALVATION, A small part of this 1s allotted to man to qualify himself for another life. We should employ our time in making diligent preparation to enter upon a higher and nobler _ life. Again we rob God when We refuse to cast our influ- euce in faver of His cause, We all have oue com- mon father and are linked together by the ties of a common brotherhood. No one is so humble in life that he does not WIELD AN INFLUENCE for God or for Satan, for good or for evil, for time or for eternity. ‘This moral power 13 exerted and felt in the family, in society, on board ship, and everywhere we go.

A Baptismal Service—An Infunt Soloist—Mr, Beecher on Family Government—A Protest Against Five-year Old Puritaus and Wise and Good Children in Pantalets. The first fine Sunday morning after the first Sun- day in the month is devoted by Plymouth church to the nurslings of “believing parents.” Yesterday was a fine but cold Sunday, and a numer of the “epitomes of man,” warmly but simply attired, the Joy of their mothers and the pride of their fathers, were presented to Mr. Beecher to receive their baptismal names. The service is rendered as solomn. ag such a service can be rendered. It is ushered in by the chanting of a baptismal chant by the chotr; the father bears his last paternal trophy in his arms and tie mother follows meekly and blushingly inthe rear. The interesting group, in the sight of the great congregation, then range them- selves in a@ semtcircle before the Olivet stand and the preacher’s platform. Yester- day one of these little candidates for baptismal distinction matched his infantile trecle against the fine toned soprano of Miss Thurs- ley and the pealing organ. It is only due to the in- fantile songster to say that this solo was heard far above that of the chotr:and filled the remotest cor- ner of the pullding with its youthful and tuneful voice. Captain Duncan then steps forward from his pew, his gray hair and bald head giving a pater. nal aspect to the scene that even Mr, Beecher could not give, and bears in asi!ver ewer the water that is to be sprinkled upon the faces of THE TINY BABES, ee oe bie name of ar ett hep Son and the Holy Ghost,’ the r gives the unchangeabi Christian name to the inte re and girls who are once and for all ticketed, labelled and initiated into tue great and never-ending catalogue of humanity. ‘Tue minister thea ascends to the platform he has left and the congregation devoutly bowing their heads he leads in prayer, Leino yery Smee and parents to Me care and guidance of Him who has given all the living life. The hymn before the sermon is an- nounced and parents and children file of to thelr respective pews and the space thus left unoccupied is tiled up by a crowd of strangers who had waited in the lobbies for the conclusion of this ceremony. The unity of the service was preserved by the reaching “of & sermon admirably appropriate the occasion. ‘The text selected was St. Paul's Epistle to the Ephesians, iv.,6—“And ye fathers provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them Up in the nurture and admonition of the rd." ‘The mystery of life seems never more near, said Mr. Beecher, and more wonderful than at the begin- ning of life. The litcle germ of being that les so une consciously developing itselfiuto an lafuentiat Ite is To all thoughtful spectators a mystery, looked at from any point of view. Leaving the physical twaining of children, whi was @ very important subject to the physiologist, he would confine huaselt simply to the great question of the training ol chil. dren, The theories and practices of family govern: ment had very much changed in the present genera- tion. The old English rule of despotic government, and where It 1s now practised in Germany, has net been known in America. The strictness even of the family government lu New Englaud has been re- jaxed, and he thougnt with advantage. The milder form of ruling “had certainly roved bet ter for us, Children here ‘earlier assume thelr rights, They lose their reverence, but not their love, Reverence finds a very poor soll to grow In In America, and when it does grow it grows very scrubby indeed. Giancing atthe rationale of this question Mr, Beecher turned to the rellgious aspect and read the following verse, the first In the chapter from which he had taken his text:—Uhil- dren, obey your parents in the Lora, for this is rignt.’’? Children, then, belonged to Christ, and it Was this that should be the ruling influence of fam~ ily L pepe aiy That government was best in whicheach child was governed for each ciild’s good, and so arranged that each child could govern itself. in the detail of the mode of this government Mr. Beecher gave a number of practical suggestious, among wiicn were the following CHILDREN TELL LIES. Well, truthtelling was very much like learning arch- ery—you fire a good many arrows before you can nit the mark. ‘The telling of truth was @ great educa- tion, He could assure those who heard him that there were a great many people who never learned to tell the truth all their life Jong. Children had much that was bad in them, but then we must never forget that we are born in dirt and nastiness and a great deal of the dirt sticks to us all the way through life, But although her child was bad the mother must not think she had got a Nero in her cradle, Netiher should mothers think they had got saints born to them—only the raw material of saints, that has got @ great deal of spinning to be done to it befole it is woven into anything lke perfection, There are some parents wno are so fond of their family government that they govern their children te the devil.

Peter was shown by the answer of Jesus that he was wrong and that, instead of limiting the forgiveness of his brother to seven umes, he should continue to forgive until seventy times seven, The reverend gentleman then proceeded to show how Very unforgiving and uncharitabie the world was, while Jesus was always ready to forgive those who supplicated His pardon, We, like the servants to the king, were held accountable for our stewardship, of us, he feared, were not so ready to forgive as to be forgiven, JERSZY CITY CHURCHES, A NEW CATHOLIC CHURCH.

SOUPH SECOND STREET METHODIST CHURCH. The (mportance of Social Talk—Sermon by the Rev. Dr. George Lansing Taylor. The old edifice known as the South Second street Methodist church (Williamsburg) was crowded yes- terday, as usual, by earnest worshippers, THE SERMON, preached by the Rev. Dr. George Lansing Taylor, pastor, was founded on the t St. Luke vill, 38, 39—‘Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought Him that he might be with Him; but Jesus sent him away, saying, Return to thine own house, and show how great things God hatn done unto thee. And he went his way, and pub- lished throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him.” Dr. Taylor, inc pounding the text, said that one of the great beau- ues of Christ’s kingdom is that it has a place tor every one, according to the measure ot eapncuy ex: hinted. ‘This is fully shown in the case of the man mentioned in the text. tHe was saved by grace aud brought to a condition of usefulness, but he was NOT SUFFICIENTLY RECONSTRUCTED to become a minister. Christ, indeed, never a man to vbe ministry whose former life was diac! ened by crimes. Therefore it was that he refuse the request of the man, and ordered him to go io his home and there spread God’s wonders, This was a work fitted to his capacity, and it 13 a work that many advantages, It can’be performed by all of us in our daily walks.

Jathers, SERVIC:S IN WASHINGTON. Sf. PATRICKS CHURCH, The Rizht Rev. Bishop Amat, of California, on the Tribulations of the Church. WASHINGTON, Noy. 13, 1870, ‘The Right Rev. Thaddeus Amat, Bishop of Monte- rey, Calilornia, officiated at St. Patrick’s church to-day. Having read the Gospel he deliy- e:ed a brief but impressive discourse on THE PERSECUTIONS THE CHURCH IS UNDERGOING in various parts of the world, but especially in Europe, and on the eficacy and necessity of prayer. The right reverend prelate seemed deeply moved when alluding to the persecution the Church ts now passing through in Europe and the interruption given the Council of the Vatican, but expressed ‘his firm belief that she will come out of it more giorious than before. The various persecutions she hag sed throngh prove her divine origin and the promise of Christ ever to remain with her, and that the blood ot martyrs was in all truth the seed of Christ. The faithiul were deeply afiicted when ST. PETER WAS CAST INTO PRISON: but their grief w: soon turned — into Joy in his miraculous — deliveran He exhorted all to persevere now more than ever in earnest and fervent prayer, as such will ever prevail, and to have recourse to the intercession of the Mother of God, she who was le(t to the faithful for @ mother py the Saviour when about to expire on the cross, The discourse was listened to with the greatest attention, and visibly afiected§ the congregation. Bishop Amat is anative of Spain, but has resided for many years in this country. He was consecrated tn 1554 to fill the vacancy created by the translation of Bishop Allemany to San Francisco as its Mrst Arch- bishop. ARCHBISHIP SPALDING IN BALTI- MORE.
