RELIGIOUS SERVICES OV THE MEN-OF-WAR. On the Frigate Guervirre. Chaplain Dorrance yesterday held the enstomary morning services on the frigate Guerriere, on the berth-deck of the stip, the weatier being too cool to permit of the chaplain to gather his attentive flock on the gun-deck, where it usuaily assembles, The deck was tastefully @evked with the Union-jack, and the church was iluminated by a numoper of candies, which lent “a dim reiigious light” to the gathering. Quite a number of oMcers, including Captain Ste- veus, were preseat, and a number of ladies graced the occasion. Tue sinzing was carried on by tie chaplain and @ number of the ship’s crew, After reading the'tesson of the diy the chaplain deliv- ered a brief discourse, taking for his text Mark xti., 6—“Having yet therefore one son, his well belsved, im wis to Lhem, saying they will reverence ‘fais was the last and and crowning act of Divine mercy.

In the absence Of services on board his ship Vice Admiral Rowan, accowpanied by Lieutenant Cow- mander Schoonmaker, came ashore in his bargo and attended church at Trinity. Chaplain Bitlinger and otuer officers also attended services at diferent churches in the city und Brooklyn. On tue sloep-o!-War Narragansett, Lieutenant Commander George Dewey, no service Was held on account of the inclemency of the weatuer, which was too severe to permit it. A grattlying religious zeal is exhibited by the officers @ud Crews on all the United states ships in our har- bor, although it 18 frequently the case. especiaily in these w ptry days, that no public service can be held.

From the hardships he then en- dured he has not yet quite recovered, The cold he caught settled on his lungs, #0 that for many months he had not the use of his voice, Yesterday Was his first attempt to preach since his return from Rome, and his effort to make nimself heard, though quite successiul, must have deen painful in the ex- treme, The sympathy of the congregation was manifested in a marked manner.

Dr. Talmage. The tabernacie on Schermeriorn sireet was crowded yesterday morning by a fashionable and atientive congregation. Many people were obliged to stand darmyg tie services, as all the pews were occupied. Mr. Tulmage’s sermon yesterday was a plain and sensible talk to his people, founded on the sixth verse of tho fifly-third chapter of the book of Isaiah:—“‘Ail we like sheep have gone aatray.” The pr er satd:—The Bible is THE MOST UNCOMPLIMENTARY BOOK im all the world, It gives u0 one race vr condition of men a@ superiorniy over another race or = condition. on the coatrary, with one announcement ib declares that we have all gone a-tray.

The first diticulty they would find to be the force of moral gravitation. If a missle were thrown luto the air there Was alaw that brought it to the gruund again, and just so there Was w lorce of MOKAL GRAVITATION taking us downwari. it was ea-ier to go down than to go up, and it Was easier to do wrong, he suid, than todorizht, Ta you say, “if we ail have this tendetcy 1n the wrouy, te: how caa we come to the rght.’ Tt raight ve resisted. Our souls nad a tendency downward, but the Lord Jesus } Christ by itis grace took hold of us and Lied us up towards heaven, Theve was this force of moral gravitation tending to tuke us down; but by the aud ofGod we might be lited up, Tluis force of uioral gravitation would have to be met. ‘The second didicuity was the force of habit, He had often heard people say ihat they co itd break any oj their habils if they wanted to, and he knew men who were BOUND HAND AND FOOT TO THE DEVIL who said they could break theirhabits. Ib was very easy to float’ down strean, but head up stream and see how you get along. As. lou ay we obeyed hant we gut wong, and when we resisted we were to be thrown on the track of bone-breaking Juggernauts. When a man tried todo right it seeued as if ali the (urtes of nei were against sim. Just a8 a man thought he was over hab.t the old habit ca On him, aud perhaps & bali dozen otner habits came LIKE A VACK OF HOUN! When a man wished to abandon evii practices s ciety repulsed him. He said to his companions, +4 can go with you no more; { cant have any- tbing to do with you,” and he came to church, where he lad not been for many years, He is met by @ caurch officlal, who says, “is Unat you? why, 1am astoulshed; 1 thought you never went to church; 1 suppose 1 can flud a weal somewhere for you,” instead of saying, ‘1 will give you the best seat in the church,” and putting him in the pulpic. In order to overcome these evii tendences Mr. Tal- mage would first advise ail to torow themeives on God. Tals was not w polit upon wich people gen- eraily began, IT DID NOT TAKE any long prayer to move God’s mercy, The trouble Was that people bad not been earnest in their prayers. ‘They should banish from tuele minds tue idea tat reformation Irom sia Was impossible They should also seek good counsei. ‘There wer & great many people who were kept out oi the paths of God because they would not talk to anybody about their souls, lie implored them to go to suine warm-hearted Christian man and tals with nin, He knew that there were many Inea who were so REPULSIVE IN THEIR OHIIST.
