METAOPOLITAN METHODIST CHURCH. Dr. Newman on the R: rection=The Theory of an Actaal Kesarrection of the Flesh as 1 Appears in the Present Life Advocated. WASHINGTON, April 9, 1871. ‘The Metropohtan Methodist Episcopal church was densely crowded this morning. Ths pulpit and aliar were decorated with flowers, The sum of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS for the church was subscribed within fifteen minutes, President Grant and Chief Justice Chase getting a commendabie example of liberality. Dr. Newman spoke upon the subject of THE RESURRECTION. Hie took for nis text First Corinthians, xv., 35— “How are the dead raised up, and with what body do they come?’ This text 1s from one of the most important chapters in the inspired volume. Ita clear statement of the doctrine of the resurrection. ‘The argument is divided into two branches, The first relates to the resurrection of pur Lord Jesus Chnist, the second to the resurrection of man- kind. Paul first. states the fact, then it luswates the possibility, and concludes with the description of the resurrection. Ae does not attempt to ‘describe the pro- cess, Let us this Easter morning turn our at- tention to this question. What is the Bible doctrine relating to the resurrection of the dead? The trans- lation of Enoch and Elija and the resurrection of Lazarus, the widow's son, and of Christ give pre- sumptive evidence of the fact. Cbriswanity standa pleaged for the FULL RECOVERY OF MAN from the evils of the fail. The union of soul and body is essential to complete manhood in this life; therefore @ reunion of the two is essential to that higher manhood defined im the Gospel. Clearly and boldly Paul proclaims, “If the dead mse. not, then is Christ not risen; and ff Christ be not risen, then {9 your faith vain.’ Isaiah, Daniel and Job ail speak Fee teenay ot the resurrection of the body; but it is Christ who says, “Marvel not that I say unto you the hour is coming in which all that are in their graves shall come forth.” There aré three theories touthing the re- surrection of mankind—the germ theory, the theory of common ¢lements and that of a literal resurrec- tion. Those.who advocate the germ theory say there isin man A MINUTE GERM; Not subject to the iaws of matter, tegrity through all changes, and that after death it 1s capable of expansion into anew being or of be- coming ® nucleus around which new material may gather to form & new structure. This theory is founded on that passage in Corinthians referring to the germinauion of seed, ats Who gdvocate it snould be reminded that if can so stamp ina single erm in matter, He Can also Btamp every par- ticle of our bodies in the same Manner, but in no gense can this be called a theory of resurrecitou. It is vegetation. The advocates of the theory of the conmion elements mamtain that the identity of aman’s body does not consist in identity of parti- cles, but of substance. They affirm that the oxy- gen, drogen, nitrogen, carbon, phosphorus and me that evter into the composition of haman bodies, whether gathered from China or the islands of the gea, combine i certain proportions. The re- sult is. me body, ani that the resurrection body, will be tdentical with the nt in substaace but not ia particles, But this is creation, not resurrec: tion. Ibis substitution, and does agree with teachings of scripture, THE SCRIPTURAL THEORY 38 that of a iteral resurrection of the body as it was atthe hour of death. It may be Jmproved. The de- formities from sin may be removed. It may be larger or smailer, but essentially it will be the same. Some objections are urged against this theory, as that the particles now m: ap the body may be not only scattered over the earth, but through vege- tation and digestion become Spal: tn other boales. Dr. Newman replied to this objection by showing that God knows where each particle 18 to be found and bas power to collect them, and lest any one should doubt whether there be dust enough onearth to reconstract men computed that if all the men between Adam and. the present time were to occupy one square yard each ‘of earth, they could all stand in THE STATE OF NEW YORK and leave yeas thousand ereare miles to spare. in, 1t is Objected that one human body becomes yar cs another by cannabilism, J take it er ecanred A BUGBRAR, It Is certainly an exception and no rule, and ft mast address itself to every mind whether the Almighty could permit the frustration of a great purpose he designed to accomplish by sach an assimiiation of particles belonging to two bodies as would prevent that accomplishment.

PETER’S CATHOLIC CHURCH. The Pastor’s Barewell to His Congroyntion— ‘The Jesnis to Take Charge of St. Peter’s— A Catholic College to Be Erected, The introduction of the Jesuit Order into New dersey isan event which maybe regarced as the most Important to the Catholic population since the pydlication of the cecree establishing the See of Newark, it is pregnaut with momentous results to. the Catholic Church, not merely in 4 religious, but alsoin an educational point of view. The highest standard of Catholic education ts to be found in tho Jesmt colleges. Wherever a branch of the Order is found there also is found & sehool; for the educa- tion of youth is their highest mission, It is their unrivalled ability and success in this field of lavor to which the memvers of the Order devote their lives with such zeal aud unflagging perseverance as very often to destroy their health that has earned for them the CONCENTRATED OPPOSITION OF ALL OTHER Sicrs: and creeds. Whenever an opponent of the Cathoile Church proclaims @ candid opinion on the subject he states in brief that the Jesuiis are the most danger- ous body of men in the Catholic Church. The Catholic interpretation of this — senti- ment is that the Jesuits are dangerous wo all the enemies of the Church. because they have such an alluring, peréuasive and persevering method of finding their way to the heart and laying hoid ot the alfections; that the depraved heart is subdued, the evil habit melts by the application of the fire of saving grace, and the unbeliever is brought from the darkness and shadow of death t# the Light of salvation. It is this attractive influence going hand in hand with an aggressive policy which makes all Opposition nugatory, and which explains THE SUCCESS OF THE JESUITS, and entitles them Mi Tank as the first of the'religious orders in the Cathoite Church, Yesterday was the last Sunday of St. Peters church under the control of the secular clergy. Svi- emn high maks was celebrated at haif-past ten o’clock, the celebrant being the Rev. P. Connolly; deacon, Kev, P, Corrigan; subdeacon, Rey. Thomas Tuomey; master of cerenionies, Mr. Walter Flem- ing. As usual ob Chnistinas day and Easter Sunday in St. Peter's, . A SPECIAL CHOIR WAS ENGAGED for the occasion. | Professor Neueudort, a great a: mnirer of Mozart, bronght the No, 12° Mass into re- qustion: The soprance. were Misses Sclumitz and rauser; basso, Mr. Fielinck; tenor, Mr. Stein- echer. Quontam Tu Solus Sanctus, which may be sald to embody all the grandeur and majesty of this work, was rendered ina hurried manner, and accordingly it lost much of its effectiveness, Where asaving of time is the object several composers ‘will be foand to be accommodating, but Mozart’s No, 12 Mass cannot be mutilated or hurried through ‘without destroying the effect Intended by the immor- tal composer. Tue excellent manner in whicn &t Incarnatus was rendered redeemed mavy minor defects, The blending of the tenor and trebie in whe piaengee, portraying the struggle between life in the lesh and the immortality of the soul was a truthful sanenyr ety top, and could mot fail 10 awake in the soul a lively recollection of THE GREAT MYSTERY OF THE INCARNATION. Then came the £¢ Resurreri/, an outburst of the whole choir proclaiming the trlumpnh of the God- man over the power of death aud dominion of the grave. ‘afer the first gospel the pastor, Father Corrigan, ascended the puipit and preached a scrmon on the resurrection of Christ, taking his text froin the gos- ae ofthe day. The Church, he said, called on all er chitdreu to arise on that day from the grave of sin toa life of grace. It is only those who obey this mandate that can rejoice in the resurrection of Christ according to the scriptural injunction, “This is the day which the Lord has le; let. us rejoice and be glad therein.” At the close of the sermon FATHER CORRIGAN BADE FAREWELL to his congregation in a few Jeeling remarks, during the delivery of which many of his hearers were evi- dently much affected. He stated that during the past twelve monihs he had been anxiously cousider- Ing the most effectual method of promoting the spiritual interests of his flock, and he finally con- cluded to ask the Jesult Fathers to come and take Possession of the parish. He did this because he was, convinced that there was no order in the Church greater than that of the Jesuits, nor was fhese Sar: equal to it, These good and zealous men wou PLACE CATHOLIOITY ON A FIRM BASIS and exercise such an inflnence in the education of youth as would be productive of most salutary re- suits notoniy in Jersey City, but throughout the ate. He was gia to be able to siate that the Bishop not only approved of this course, but ex- pressed his gratification tbat THE JESUTE ORDER WOOL) OBTAIN A FOOTHOLD in his diocese. He had no doubt that tn due course of time this noble body of men would gain access to other parts of the diocese. Father Corrigan con- cluded by stating thas he would imake a tour of a few months in Europe to recrait his health, and on his return would assume pastoral charge of St. Bridget’s ohurch, 1 Jersey City; so that he would not be altogether removed from the goctety of his old parishioners, Father Beaudevin, now pastor of St. Xavier's church in West Sixteenth street, York, will be the new pastor of St, Peter's. with other members of the Order will ASSUME POSSESSION NEXT THURSDAY, The pastor's residence and two houses adjoining, with a front on Grand street, have been purciased Francis Now He | for @ site on Which to erecta college. ‘The church property extends the entire biock from Graud to York streets and includes the paro- chial school, a spacious buliding capable of accommodating several hundred pupils. ‘The old Catholic church, now known as Grand Street Hail, also belongs to the church, so that the Jesuits have a very fair prospect before them. It is not yet five years since the erection of the church was completed.

Jam about to write you an explanation, “Three years ago your father and I were the hap- piste eouple in Kiverton, We lived in our own jouse, a pretty little villa overlooking the river, and your father owned his factory, which was near. Tbe failure of an extensive firm witn which my poor husband was connected hurled us down to poverty. “About the time of my husband’s fuilure the Calt- fornia gold exciement became a fever in our vicimity. A successful miner returaed to Riverton from the land of gold, and for days # portion of his Wealth was displayed in our bauker’s window jn the shape of & huge gold brick, Your father, smart- ing under his reverses, conceived the idea of going to Califorala, and two years azo le went. “Hart Burgoyne furnished lim money for his ven- ture, It was to the care 0+ Hart Burgoyne my hus- band and your father commended us in the hour ef his departure, It was Hart Burgopne who attended him (0 New York, woo paid his passage, and whose friendly face he last saw belore settiug out upon that fil-fated voyage. ‘You know, Eady, that your father died of fever in Caltfornia, Wain a week of bis landing at Sun Francisco. ‘Hart Burgoyne was my lover, that I rejected for your father; but he wasyour jacter’s truest irlend, and has never borne me imalice because | preferred another to nim, He bas lately renewed his suit to me, and urges me to become his wile.

That Drst love was the great love o! my life. “Weare to be married this morning—within an hoor. 1 would have sent for you, but Mr, Burgoyne thought | uad better not, We are to be mariied quietly in my litile cottage parlor, and we will tien walk ap together to the villa to Which your Jatuer took me as his bride. “Come home to us on Saturday, Come with a light heart and eh face, Always your loving mother, theugh now for the lasi time i write my name JULIA BURNS”? Mrs, Brierly read this letter through. At its con- clusion, she exclaimed: “1 don’t see anything to fret at, Eddy, One wonld think your mother was dead, Whatis the matter? Don’t you like ifr, Burgoyne?” “No—no!” cried Eddy, with a shudder, “and he don’t like me.’? ‘What's done can't be undone,” continued Brierly. “ ld make the best of the matter.”? +f will make the best of it, Mrs. Brierly,’’ returned Eddy. “Poor mother! She married Mr. Bargoyue Tor my sake, and site shall never know that her mar- Tlage las cost me a pung.” Eddy took up the second Jetter, opened and read it aloud, while upon his countenance siowly gather ed aa expression of horror. The #ecoad letter was irom Hart Burgoyne: “RIVERTON, June 12, 1851, “Master Epwarp Burxs—As you will under- stand by the ietter written by your mother tne other day Mra.

There were no tears now, but instead a look of stern rev solve.
