But en ike eighth day, the Gospel suys, the disciples were touvetner, ahd Thomas was with them, de- @aring his doubts when “Jesus cometh, the doors shut and stood in the mitdjst aud said, ‘Peace w you.’ Then He said to Thomas, ‘Put ta thy fingers hither and sce my tiands, and bring hither ‘Shy hand and put it into my side, and be not talth- fers, but beheving,’ Thomas onswered and said, Mi, Lod «nd my God’” Never was there so summaiy a conversion and profession 01 faith as tius declaration of Thomas, “My Lord jd my God}?

Olympia Browa in Her Palpit at Bréiveport—Skeich of Her Discourses, Anecdvies and Incidents. BrincEvort, Conn., April 16, 1871. The Universalist church at Bridgeport, Conn., is a pretty little structure, situated on e@ cross street, but asbort distance from the main thoroughfare of ‘the place. The ed.fice is put of rough freestone, with @ modest spire, and 1s drape with the twining foids of the Virginia creeper, whoze tender leaves of delicate green have now scarcely begun to un- fold, but in autuma tura to those vivid hues of crim- son and gold, which render it the glory of its native ‘woods, The interior of the church {s prettily frescoed ana #8 not less picasing to the eye than the outside, and, taken as a whole, it isa LITLE ARCHITECTURAL GEM.

Among other titles to fame she Is Claimed to be the first WOMAN REGULARLY ORDAINED 3 8 minister of the Gospel in this country, though by some this honor is attributed to Rev. Phoebe A, Hanuaford, of New Haven, who fs also a member of the Universalist denomination, Miss Olympia Brown’s nume is oiten met with in the journals of the day, and thus it clanced that & HBRALD witier, being In the vicinity, dropped iu to listen to one of her ordinary Sabbath discourses. The services had commenced, and a familiar hymn was being sung by the excelient choir, in which many of the audience, who were provided with tooks con- Valuing both words and music, joined. Inthe pulpit sata pale and somewhat careworn looxing lady, Sumply dressed in black, without ornament save & pendant gold watch chain. When the singing was concluded sue arose and came forward to the desk, and in a simple, business like way gave a few Botices and tach proceeded to aunouuce the text of her discourse, This was [rom Aatuiew X., 7—'*As ye go preach, saying, Ho KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND," This commaud of the Saviour, though oelepaly Made to the tweive Aposties, who were sent ford two by two to preach the Gospel im Judea and tne adjacent regions, was tnterpreied by Miss brown to @pply with even greater force to Christians of the resent generation. In view of their superior privi- leges, 80 much greater was the obilgation resting upon them to spread the knowled,e of the truth, ‘This work was particulariy the mt-sion of the Unt- Versaiist Churoh. The fair speaker granted that in times of spiritual declension, When the thick dark- ness of Iguo @uce and corruption brooded over the Church, a3 well as the woild, strong statomeuts of Gou’s justice, and tne doctrine of A PERSONAL DEVIL AND A FIERY BELL, as interpreted by reformers like Martin Lutner, fa Germauy, and John Knox, of Scottand, might have been useful to arouse the slumbering con- sciences of the people, just as & raw east wind is welcome when it sweeps away the fogs and malaria which have been long brooding over the land. But she believed that such docirines had had their ai The Universalist Charch, though com- paratively of recent origin and weak in point of umbers, has had the eifect of causing the other denominations to modtty the extreme views eid by them. But this was only the begtaning of its work. Jt was for her hearers to show that the belief in God’s unchanging love toward every creature whou He had created did not take away all incentive to effort upon their part, but was rather a stimulaut to renewed activity. The command to preach the doc- trine that ‘the Kingdom of heaven is at hand” was not made to the clergy alone, but to the lal'y as well. In the recent Sabbata School Convention beid in this city sbe had listened to the remarks of one good oid man, Who stated that for MORE THAN THIRTY YEARS he had never falied to attend two services upon the Sabvath, besiues the Sunday school, and a confer- ence meeting during the week. This was the way that they worked ia other denominations. It such @ statement could be truthfully made by a member of another denomination, some of wiose tenets were g0 repulsive, What ought to be tie activity of her hearers a8 Universallsis? ‘dhe iabor tn which they were called to engage was @ practical work. They were to promulgate a@ reli. gion suited 10 the wants of the world aud adapted to the eme! generes ot everyday life. In their Church they must Know ho distinction between high aud low, rich or poor, ali should be made alike wel- cone, Especially must it be borne in mind that the great Cause i which they were cugaged was disuucuvely A CHRISTIAN WORK. Many at the present on had in their revolt from ‘the harsh systems o! theology, formerly every whe prevaleut, Kone too far and rejected too much, Ear- nest men gad women there were who had ea- braced the phantom of materialisin, and proclaimed that they had “outgrown Christ," and feit (or thom. selves no need Of @ Saviour, But this was a most pernicious error, which it behooved her hearers caretally Wo ayold.

In this goodly city of the Quakers a contest 1s now going on mone of the Episcopalian churches (St. Clement’s) between whai is generally known HIGH AND LOW CHURCH factions, which promises great scandal to religion, fat fees for the lawyers and trouble 1 the Church, Some fifteen years ago the parish of St, Clement's was organized in the northwest section of the old city—Twentieth street, above Arch, It was a new field ef labor for the Episcopal denominauon, and was open to missionary work. The parish was new, the church weak and the clergy poor, the faith Mike that of the old church at Philadelphia which St, John told of in nis vision. Alter going in debt, having no money, velng visited by the sheriff 1or labilities, changing its pastors, 1t was found that St. Clement’s was sinking into the deep ‘waters, About two years ago Il. G. Batterson, D. D., and W. H. N. Stewart, LL. D., were invited to take the church and run it on their ideas of regeneration, both as to the church as @ corporation and its members as spiritual sheep, They did so with cer tain conditions, among which were that salartes were of no moment, provided the vestry, which ‘was of no account elther as to faith, brains or cash, would let the pastors alone. Anything to save the church building from a forced sale for debt was agreed to, and these reverend doctors went to work. Dr. Stewart 1s a learned, earnest scholar, and most able speaker. Dr, Batterson is @ great admin- istrator, and soon the services of St. Olement’s were put on the high church basis, Choral services, pro- cessional and receasional hymns, banners and “holy guilds,” and dally services, and weekly communions, and fine preaching and good singing, made the church @ great success, 1¢ was filied at all times oy the most thinking and infueotial and leading citizens of Fuiladelphia, as well as by families of earnest churchmen, The veatry became amazed that no room was to be bad by the people coming to church. Some of the vestry never weut there to church, some were not commuaicants, some never were baptized, All were of that sort of folks who thought everything that was not common was unlawiul, The Vesiry began tw open their eyes, ten their ears, and the puritanical eiement iu the Episcopalian chareh, like Lutier and Hess, raised a fuss about the nothings in forms, which, m (bis case, grew into nothings in anything—faita, belief, system or doctrine. So it Was at St, Cimoent’s, The vestry, which was composed of men who formed no cl-ar 1d¢a of the spiritual signif- cance of their faith, had uo fixed opinions as to tha forms wiich taught their faith under the symbuls which revealit, ‘The clergy had both. ‘ike contest gan in the weak *regolutions’’ olfered atthe ves- try meetings, and ended on Easter Nonday last, at the vestry clection, Some of the city papers were filled with articles by churchmen, parishioners and outsiders discussing the “BUN AND FORM3”” of St. Clement’s, Ono side charged that the clergy of St, Olement’s advocated auricular conlession, penance, absoluuon, prayers for the dead, and what tWwey im the true Ciristian spirit tried to stigmatize a3 “‘Komish errors.” Ihe cieigy side deuied tie charges, but insisted that all the teachings were found in the Prayer Book, all of which tiny inu- mated SOME OF THE VESTRY NEVER READ, or, if they did, could not understand. ‘The ight be- came furious, the vulietin boirds of the press con- tained the latest news from the scene of this “Church-miutant” warfare. The vestry laid thelr case before the Right Reverend Bishop, who deliv- ered an opinion on @ one-sided case, to which the rector, Dr. Batterson, replied with much spirit, and, according to the alinost universal opinion, has the best of the dispute. Then the election tor ves- trymen came on, and was held Kaster Monday, April 10, last. ‘The candidates of the vestry paity were:— John Lambert, Henry 8. Lowber, P. Pemverton Morris, Henry Henderson, Henry Norris, George N. Allen,’ Henry ©. Thompson, James Douguert y, Cnaries 8. Paucoast, Francis R. Abbott, Eaward Borex and T.

It would seem, however, that some undercurrent has been at work since the publication of their views, for we fad that having partaken of @ dinner on invitation of Dr, MeMurray, a relator in the case, they lave suddenly concluded that the worid has been misinformed, aud that the world may walk no more im darkness we are favored with the following:— The undersigned Jurors ta this prem a case, Court roorn om the ith laste to Obtain orders for thele one rants, and subscribed the subjoined statement, in the hope that tue paper tn which the misrepreseutation appeared, 4 woll us other secular ana religious papers of the country, wall be wiliug to pails the same tn Ere'itereat of truths 2” As there seems to misapprehension in re- gard to this case im minds of ihe commu- nity, and especially among publishers of news: papers, some of whoa have sald ip their pers that there were eleven of the Jury for the defendants.
