H. M. Gallaher Upon the Proper Metbod of Studying the Bible. + Notwithstanding the coid, blastering wing which yesterday swept {urtousty up and down the broad streeta of the far-famed “City of Churches,” the popular First Bapust church, in Nassau street, be- tween Fulton and Adams, was crowded to its utmost “capacity by a highly intelligent as well as extremely Aashionable audience. As usual, Mr. Gallaher had ® few extremely funny, if not ludicrous, t to say before he could wind up his discourse. Indeed, ‘these “funny” expressions of his have become a part of his nature, without which he would not be half 9 popular with his congregation as he now ts. Before commencing his discourse Mr. Gallaher Baid that this sermon, Itke the one he preached on the Pa aka Sabbath morning, would be in behalf the Sabbucu school couuected with thechurch. He not said anyvhing of the spoles nom of the ser- mon last Sunday, ior he thought that a good sermon: @hould be like : A MUSTARD POULTICE J which loving parents put upon their children. You Ao not, said he, hold tue poultice up before the child and extol its many virvues, tell how it can draw, or ‘what @ vast deal of goud it had been knewn to ac- complish; but you merely clapped it at once upon the juvenile and allowed it to go ahead and do its business, For his part he could not coax bimselt np 0 beg of his congregation. ‘the great amount of ood which the Sunday school had accomplished @nd was accomplisiing every day bis bearers were weil aware of, aud it was therefore only necessary for him to allude to the fact of the school being FiVB HUNDRED DOLLARS IN DEBT and to state that they looked to the congregation for assistance 1p paying it off, Mr, Gullaher’s sermon was upon “The Proper Method of studying the Biple,” his text being the the tnirtieth and thirty-Urst verses of the eighth chapter of Acts:—"Aud Php ran thither to Ulm, and beard Him read the Prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? And he Said, How can |, except some man shouldfguide me? And He desired Philp that he would come up ana sig with him.’ ‘Tne preacher said the great fault with the masses of the people was their neglecting to devote a suilicient time to the reading of the Bible. <A_ great Majority of those who do read it are not properly educated; or, in other words, are too ignorant 10 understand what they read. We often see persons reading the bible wio puta lieral meaning upon everything found therein, and this is the main cause of there betug so many sceptics, LUKEWARM CHRISTIANS and infidels in every community. ‘There are another Clasé of persons who, although they are well edu- cated aud capatie oi appreciating and understand- ing the pro{ound truths sound in the Scriptures, are, nevertheless, too busy to devote any time to such reading—or, in tact. any reading save that which 43 personaliy connected with their every day pur- suits, Aman engaged in an extensive business— mercantile. commercial or otherwise—when ho re- turns at night from bis arduous duties finds it ab- solutely necessary to seek amusement and recrea- tion, his train being 80 muca taxed it 1s impossi- dle for hum to further burden it with study, an 13 LIFE BBBS AWAY 80 i ere ue knows it, and he goes down to theg ‘™ al- most unaware of the existence of sutiy a duok as the Bible.

URCH OF ST. CHARLES BORRONED. the Red ip! ist Fa R hey Hi saat During the past fortnight a mission by the Re- G@emptionist Fathers has been in progress at the Church of St. Charies Borromeo. The reverend gen- tlemen conducting this mission are Fathers Grimm, Henning, Rathke, Gross, Seur and Wayrck. Each morning during the mission there has been mass at half-past five and half-past elght o'clock; in the even- ing, at half-past seven, spiritual Instruction; ard con- feasions have been heard as long as there was any one Jp the church to approach to the tribunal of penance. Tha attendance at these religious exercises has been very large, the numbers seeking admission to the church being far in excess of the ordinary extent of the accommodation it affords. 1a the ensuing week the mission, which ia to close on Sunday next, will be exclusively for the benefit of men. Yesterday moruing the church was filled to over- flowing, the passage leading from the principal en- trance to the altar being crowded by persons who goula not find seats. High mass was celebrated by the Rev. Father McGovern, and after the Gospel the Rev. Father Henning proceeded to give the dis- course of the day, taking his text from the well known words of the Holy Scriptures—‘‘Seek first the kingdom of God, and all things else will be given to you.” He said that THE FIRST DUTY OF MAN, according to thes: words of their dear Saviour, was to gain the end for which God had created him. That end was superuatural—that was to say, the knowledge of it did not le within one’s reason. To gain that end it was necessary that God should add supernatural strength to natural weakness, and TH LAST END OF MAN could not be galued without the agency of God on the une hand and the agency of man on the other. Religion was nothing else but the united efforts of God on the one hand and man on the other for the attainment of man’s last end. Every man to gain ‘his last end was bound to have religion. He must accept from the hands of God tne truths revealed by God, and he must co-operate with the grace given to him by God, ‘A FALSE SYSTEM OF RELIGION could not furnish man with that supernatoral strength—could not furnish him with religion at ali. When we speak of religion we mean‘true religion— not a religion conceived by man, but given to us by God. There was but one true religlon—that was the religion of Jesus Christ—because in Jesus Christ alone was found the two agencies necessary for the attainment of man’s salvation. Jesus was pericct God and perfect man, and he united the two agencies < God and man in one and the same person. There- fore THE DIVINE AGENCY AND THE HUMAN AGENCY which were necessary for the attainment of our last nd were most pertectly united in Jesus Christ. Therefore, the religion established by Jesus Curist ‘was the true religion, and every other religion was @ lalse religion. But where did they tind the Chris- tiau_ religion? They looked around and saw thou- sar ds of Christian denominations, each calling itselr the Christian religion. They sald, “ome, embrace me, enter Into my fold and you will receive the Kingdom of Heaven.” Did God Jeave them in the dark as regarded that question? Not at all. They ho che means of deciding what was the religion of d,s Christ. Among those many thousands who dinered from the Catholic Church ‘there was a difti- uty in discovering where the Church of Christ was, But the Catnoiic had no difficulty in that mat- ‘ter. He knew very well that the religion to which te belonged was the true rehgion, Be was con- vinced of this by NO IMAGINARY ARGUMENT, ut he fall well Knew that the Catholic Church of the nineteenth century could trace tts history to the days of the Aposties through an uubroken sneces- sion, The Protestant could not say the same thing. He might go back to the sixteenth century; there everything became dark, and further than that he could not go. What was the consequence? Doubts sprang up in his mind; these doubts became post- tive and he became an unbeliever, because his fev on would not allow him to take the true course, ve reverend gentieman then proceeded to shuw tha: it was IMPOSSIBLE YOR TRUTH TO CHANGE. It was trae everywhere and at all times that two and two made four. By no process of reasoning could tape proved that two and two made only a three half, So it was with truth— is never \ changed aud could never. be changed. Men were constantiy changing their politics, To-day tiey were whigs, to-morrow they ‘would be tories; next week they would be demo- orats; the week alter republicans. France a few months ago was an empire; to-day, to all appear- anode, she i areoudlic. Prussia asjert tue since ‘was a kingdom; to-aay she ts an empire. Thus tt was with man; he was constantly changing, evou in his physical condition, while it was the nature of divine truth eternally to remain the same, THE DIVINE TRUTH OF GoD itted to and remained with the Oatholic Church, While the Protesiants—Presbyterians, Baprists, Methodisis, Unitariaus and others—ali diifered from one aaother, they united in one thing, oa that was their opposition to the Catholic THE PROTESTANTS OF THE UNITED STA7ES differed from the Protestants of England, and theso latter differed from the Lutherans of Germany; the German Lutherans heid opinions at variance with the Lutherans of Sweden, and the Swedish Luthe- rans did not agree with the Protestants of Geneva, THH LUTHERAN REFORMERS held the doctrine of the real presence in the Holy Bacrawent, to a certain extent, while many Prote: ity JeSe BECY rt Varlance with each otter, while ae Ae THE CATHOLIC CHURCI NEVBR CHANGED her dootrine; and what she taught in the United States she taught in every other part of the worla where her faith was believed. It had been urged gaunt ar that she had changed her doctrme in the PAPAL INPALLIBILITY; but this objection was unfounded, because the Coun- Cul of the Vatican had merely defended as a dogma & belief that had existed for long ine In the Catholic world. The mere defining of a belief could not be a spuge Of beltef; it was an evidence of something that had already’ long existed, ‘The reverend gentleman made a brief reference to the doctrine of exclusive salvation. He stated, among other thi on this subject, that there were thousands and thousands of Protestants who, if they belleved that the Catholic Chareh were the true Church, me Join 1¢ with all thei hearts; these would iy be saved. Thero were other Pro- Sestants Who, full of learning and of ability, knew that the Oatholic Church was the true one, yet re- fused to join it, that if they joined any religion at ull they would ‘atholics, bright had such ee Jnowingahe: truth and rejecting it, to cali upon od to gave them?

Father Turner—The Leprosy of the Soul—The spirit of Self. Denial. The somewnat dingy edifice on Jay street, which for the past fifteen years has served as the Catholic cathedral of so iarge a city as Brooklyn, was filled in every part yesterday morning with the usual con- gregauion, RICH IN RELIGIOUS FERVOR it not in worldly goods. On the new cathedral, in course of construction on Lafayette avenue, work is at present stopped, but will be re- sumed in the spring. The intention is to finish the chapel first, as a nucleus, and then proceed, as means will permit, with the entire building, which, when finished, will be one of the most Imposing in the City of Churches. The present building wiil still be used asa parish church, The pastors make noe complaint ot want of liberality on the part of thelr parishioners. On the contrary, they say.that no sect can show such generous followers as the Catholic Church. The Rev. Dr. Gardiner nas been suffering from a severe sore throat, and hence was unable to preach yesterday. The sermon at High Mass was delivered by the Rey. Father Turner, who chose the following text:—‘If a householder did not know what hour tie thief would come he would watch, verily, aud not suffer bis Louse to be broken into." In applying this to the soul, which is the house of the Curistian, we must draw the inference tat we must WATCH AND PRAY unceasingly. The thieves and those who break into our houses in the night are typical of the enemies and temptations to whose assaults we are ever ex- posed. ‘The passions lift their flerce neads at every moment; the world in ail its turmoil and excitement presses its carnal forces upon us through all the Weaknesses of the flesh. 11 tne Christian Knew from which side and when he might expect the attack he might be {n some measure prepared; put the most trivial incident in the most unguarded moment finds us often face to face with a deadly sin, while our wilful negligence brings us-littie of te GOD-SENT FORTITUDE to overcome it. In this way it 1s that so many fall; and when once the downward path Is commenced we know how difficult it is to reascend. Froin ‘the gospel of the day we learn the story of the leper, who came to Jesua and éald, ‘Lord, if thou wilt thou canst make me clean.” The Saviour, fuil of pity, stretched out bis hand, saying ‘1 will: be thou mnade clean.” Forthwith his leprogy was cleansed. We know that the hideous leprosy of that dgy was incurable, except through supernatural means. SIN IS THE LEPRO3Y OF 1HE SOUL, and to the Heaventy Father, through the sacraments of His Church, must you tura to be retieved of its Plague-fraughi misery. How often do we observe a man, conscious of the enormity of his trausgres- sions, try througa human means to Cleanse his soul of guilt! The occasions of renewed sin present themselves, and his vain effort fails in a repettion of his offence against the majesty of Heaven. It is a most metancholy picture. ‘Tne endeavor 13 gbsy eee WiTHoUT x area an and the dismal way le i Most in- stances, thé path veh wea ol Bit fuided sor- TOW must tread. We must watch anc ray. A guard must be set upon our thoughts. ‘The free will, with which God bas endowed us, must be taught to point always ia the way of grace. It has been said py one of the saints that SELE-WILL 13 A LION, which must be kept chained, Put a seal upon your lips lest by them you utter aught against His law. Cherish a horror of sin 10 all forms, and where human foresight can be of avail avoid the occasions of it, It must be done, not only aa regards thoye sins which are mortal, but the same supervision must be exercised with those which are venial. Sin 1a the poison; God, through His church, 1s the antidote. The sare way to fitly full His ordina- tions ts in the exercive of an HABITUAL SPIRIT OF SELF-DENIAL. ‘This will be our guard against the thief of punity, and, should we fali into a state of sin, we dust endeavor to obtain the grace of God by attending the sacraments of the Courch, parncularly that of penance. Our lives by this may be made one long prayer; for by glority! God thoughts, words and actions in this world we may hope to obtala the fulness of His mercy in the next, Watch and pray. It is the countersign from Heaven to the struggling mortal: watch against the passions of tne world, the flesh and the devil; pray for His suste- nance in ee. dificult task, and you shall in the end Test in the peace of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, which surpasseth all understanding, CHURCH OF THE PILGRIMS. “My Sox, Give Mo Thine Heart”—Tho Ne- eessity of Man being a Free Agent—Ser- mon by Rev. Mr. French. In the absence of Dr. Storrs, who, on account of ill health proposes soon to go abroad, the services m this church were conducted by the Rev. Mr. French, of Morristown, N. J., from the words from Proverbs, “My son, give me thine heart.” Mr. French spoke of God as a father longing for the tove of his children. There is something, then, that we can give to God, We can GIVE OUR HEARTS, for tho human wiil is free. We can give or with- hold our love. By tts text we come to the revela- tion of God as a father yearning for the love of his children. Zhrough the Bible comes the revelation. We could not understand hamen life except through tus. In comparison with the wonders of creation— the worlds that move 1n their orbits at the will of God—man feels bis weakuess; but tn the Bible he ts taught that every HAIR OF B18 HEAD isnumbered. Because the least begger in the street can love he is more to God than ail outside of hu- mmanity. Throw aside all else und take the simpie Word of God.

God gave His Son to reconcile the world unto Him- sel’, Guat the worla in looking to Christ should be drawn to happiness and peace, Pie only reason why the word will not love God 13 because they will not look. Tue Word was made flesh to draw THE HEARTS OF MEN to God. This trath places us individually alone with God. He 1s saying to each of us, “Give ne thy heart.” He says, “hou art more to me than all the posts of heaven; thou art more to me than all the Sintess was In heaven, ior thou art my wan- dering son.’ If in that last day the ‘fac Judge instead of the Father look at you y say that God aid not love you and tong to save you.

Dr. Brann. At the Institute of St. Paul the Apostle, on Eighth avenue, near Fifty-fifth street, last evening, the Rev. Dr. Henry A. Brann, of Fort Washington, delivered @ lecture, in the course of which he forcibly re- futed some of the assertions made at the recent Itat- jan unity meeting at the Academy of Music. Tho hall was crowded to its utmost capacity and the lec- ture was listened to with much evident interest and freqnentiy interrupted by applause. The subject was “Stns of Intellect.” The lec- turer fifst explained the meaning of his subject, showing that although every sin was a sin of intel- lect, certain crimes were atthibuted more to the in- teilect than to the senses, because they regarded in- tellectual rather than sensual objecis, He then showed the influence of ideas and principles un s0- clety, working their way down ecilier tor good or evil among the masses. Society is corrupted from the head before it is attacked In the heart. This point, said the lecturer, was always insisted on by Savonarola, at Florence, and 18 well illustrated m Massilon’s great Lenten sermons on the duties and failings of the leaders in society, The princes and rulers of society, the true pormene laou, especially to this country, are the great orators and writers. THE MBN OF GENIUS AND INTELLECT, who either corrupt the masses by spreading false principles, false notions, false theories or distorted views among them, or who, using their gifts for the purposes intended by God, become mouthpieces of troth for mankind. There is a great difference be- tween an idea and a fact iu importance. Using the word idea, even though not in a strictly metaphysl- cal sense, every one Knows thatthe deniat of it is more pernicious than the denial of an ordinary fact, as the denial of a universal law is worse than the denial of its individual application, The man who gets drunk and is putin Jatl is less guilty than he ‘Who denies that temperance 13 a virtue and preaches the lawfulness of intoxication. ‘Tne man who picks your pocket or steals your horse 1s less a foe to 80- ciety Onc far less of a criminal than the communist, Msciple of Plerre Lerome or St. Simon, who denies the right of property. Some facts are more impor- tant than others, owing to thelr social relations or to the universality of their application, and their de- nial implies a universal denial. Revelation or dog- ma 1s A FACT OF UNIVERSAL BEARING, and its dental of greater criminality than the denial of @ lact not directiy connected with a universal. If I deny that the Pope hus aright to the temporal power | deny a principle of greater imporiai owing to its immediate relations with other maiters, than if I simply deny that John Smith owns tho louse in which he tives. Tho conclusion of this argument was that the men of inteliect, who deny the truth willully, misrepre- sent important facts, or abuse their powers for the propagation of falsehood, calumny or injustice are, GREATER CRIMINALS THAN THE PROSTITUTES AND THIEVES. The lecturer then tnstanced the two great sins of Intellect in regard to the school question and the papal question. Men of intellect are guilty of calumny toward the Catholic Church when they represent hier as opposed to education, because she is opposed to the system of education which eschews religion. —Retivion is, at least, as necessary to a child as arithmetic and spelling; and asystem which gives an hour in tho week to religious education, and th» rest to secular education 13 certainly not catholic, not universal, not perfect. Men of intellect, who know that Catho- lica love education so much that they pay @ double tax for it, one for public schools, the other for paro- chial schools; who know that the actual public school system 13 excessively expensive, owlng to the fact that teachers owe their positions to mere poiltical influence, and that the politicians are making thousands of dollars out of it by their con- trol ef tracts; who know that our system 1s far in- ferior to the Prussian system; who know, from statistics published regularly in the Hducationat Monthly, that thousands and thousands of children are GETTING NO EDUCATION AT ALI, owing to the imperfection of our scnool system, still prostitute their tntellects in its deience! What criminals before God they must be, since they im- pugn the known truth! The Papal question affords another instance of sius of intellect. Here the lecturer described the meeting in favor of ITALIAN UNITY. He praised the intelligence of its chief abettors, men of standing and of learaing, yet guilty of an atro- cious inteiiectual sin, ‘They approved,” said the lecturer, ‘ihe fact of taking away another man’s ossession by armed force, without right or tille, nis i8 au Approval Of robbery, avd in the name of American honesty I protest against it.’ He then quoted statistics to sow that the so-called piléviscite in Rome was A CONSUMMATE FRAUD, According to the Gazetta Oficuale dt Roma there were 40,831 Votes cast in ten hours in the tweive polung places of Rome. This would give almost SIX persous voting uninterruptediy every minute, during the voling time, from eight o’clook A. M. to six P, M., or at the rate of ono for every ten seconds! Yet tho yoters had to go up 9 fight of steps and make other preparations, and eye witnesses attest that for hours no oue went to vote. If this is not a case of Kallot stuMng where shall we flud one / Yet the classic General Dix, the eloquent Keecher, the plilauthropic, est Horace Greeley, the poet ‘Bryaut, approve of this, But more: these ubettors of Italian robbery have calumniated the illustrious living and dead. The Rev. Dr. Joseph P, Thompson at this meeting insinuated and inti- mated in & resolution that Giobertl, Rosmint, Lacor- daire and Dolinger, “eminent and saintly Catholic clergymen,” were opposed to the temporal power of the Pope. ‘Now I have taken tho trouble to ex- amine th int With imparitality,”’ said the speak- er, “anal Hereby challenge and defy Dr. Thompson, or any other of the learned gentlemen who ap- lauded his resolutions to produce a line, a sentence om any of those writers, even from Dollinger, which wiil justify the assertion. I pronounce it A FALSEHOOD AND A CALUMNY, and I am prepared to prove it. Mr. Greeley has a paper, let him prove the truth of the assertion which he abetted. Not florid prose nor honied lines of rhyme Can biazen evil deeds or consecrate a crime. Such are some of thesins of inteliect, continued the lecturer. From the tracts ee by the American Tract Society to the Sunday school paper, the controversial work, the magazine—all are full of calumnies, falsehoods, misstatements and mis- representations of Catholic doctrine. 1 have read them by the score and I have never yet found one sermon of a Protestant minister, one article or a Protestant newspaper, one Sunday school tract, treating of a Catholic dogina or of Catholic doctrine, which did pot betray ignorance, or which was not libellous and calumnious. These are grave charges to make against Protestant intellects, but they are, unlortunately, too tiue, ‘these criminals are not amenanle to the laws of men, but God will punish them in the life hereatter, if they persist In their ne- farious system of falsehood and calumny, Let us, however, confiding in the power of justice, which always Wins at last, remember that Truth crushed to earth will rise again; ‘The eternal years of God er3 5 But error, wounded, writhes in pain, And dies amidst her worshippers.

There has been but little sparkle during the past week on the current of dramatic events, and things have flowed on smoothiy and sweetly from its open- ing to its close, The opening caught a brightness from the appear- ance of Mr. Lester Wallack on his own boards in two of these gay, gossamer, graceful pieces, which rise on butterny wing and lead on the theatrical pursuer wiih an attractive charm, difficult to define, but very exquisite to feel. This was followed by “Ours,” the most picturesqne and effective of all Robertson’s dramas, and they exchange thetr allure- ments during the week. Time seems to have touched Mr. Lester Wallack very lightly with its ray wing as it passed. Indeed, Providence, with a spe- cial tenderuess for the softer sex, seems always to throw @ protecting shield against the attacks of time over the pet primo tenore and light comedian of the hour, Brignoll, ttis true, has grown rather fat, But then he eats too much maccaroni and 1s mar- ried, Saturday saw the “Heir at Law.” In these days of the Black Crook and Ofenbacn comedics must be excessively brilliant to sustain a hoid upon the audience. The actors of the old schoolare fast passing away, and we can see no one to Mill their places in tho future, Let us love the few left us, Among these perhaps Mr. Gilbert is certainly one of the mosteminent. He ts every inch the artist and perfection itself in nis special sphere. He wins, the moment he comes on the stage, your sympathies by his gentlemanty de- porcment, and bis face wears that happy expression or cheerfulness and mirth which put the audience in good humor before he opens his mouth, His in- tonation is a marvel for young arusts to imitate, He renders our mother tongue with a richness and distinctness! of expression which carries audiences back to the classical days ot Drury, wien acting ‘was elevated to the highest region of art and made instinct with the most refined culture. Mr. Gilbert's tones are meilifuous and sucen- lent, and suggestive at once of the good, merry things he has in store for you. In looking fully at his audience, without shirk or dodge, he per- petuates, aso, nobiy the fine traditions of the old English school of comedy.
