WasHInaron, April 28, 1871. Atthe usual morning service at Christ Church wWrotestant Episcopal) at. the Navy Yard to-day Rev. Dr. McGuire alscoursed from Acts xvil., 30— “And the times of this ignorance God winked at, but now commandeth all men everywhere to re- pent.” The reverend speaker said it was not his purpose this morning to set forth the nature of TRUE REPENTANCE, but to urge the necessity of it. He would simply remark that true sorrow is the same as produced by any other cause. It is godly repentance when we knowingly have rebelled against God, and tt was their solemn duty to repent. God commandeth man everywhere to repent. He made it the work of the disciples to preach repentance. John the Baptist, the foreruaner of Jesus, preached the baptism of repentance, Whea Jesus appeared to his disciples aiter his resurrection he preached Fepentance and urged them todo thesame, The Work of repentance does not rest on any pariicuiar yew, but upon all, for all have the obligation of re- pentance. ou caunot have the good terms of God unless you repent. ‘he iove of God isa thing tin- possible so long ay you continne in sti ani tall to oiler to God some acknowiedzment of bis mighty works, and make some recompense for your Rat wickedness, It is the duty of usall to do as He bids, ‘The voice of our Father calls uso loyalty and we aust ovey and that ut once, 4s there ts NU TIME VOR DELAY. If this repentance was impossible tt would not be @ duty and God would not ask it of you. If men Were uuable to repent there woutd be nothing (o ex- ect tro them. ‘That he is abie to repent ts evident rom bis conscience, Which is evidently right, know. | tn influence of a ieliow creature, but 18 at the entire @isposal of God. If we are tola by our consciences that we ure abie to repent let us do so. If we are willing to proclaim Hi Goud let us repent, It igoften Mntimated that the willinguess of mau to repent is taking God's Work trom lus hands. ‘fhe sible does ot Fay man is able to repent by liimsel, but says “py Gouw’s help” he can do so. But a just God has eommanded) ts repentance, 2nd it must be doue, tas charged tha men are not responsible for their Wickedness, that they derived it from Adam, We will all adimit that our sins have come since Adam, but we are expected TO DO BETTER THAN HE DID, and follow the advice of God, If man Js not able to repent it is not reasouable to suppose God would Rave commanded hin to do so. it is certain that God has given the power to doso, He would not ask man todo anything impossible. He cally and hourly beckons wan to come. It woud be unjust to push the sinner if thee was no remedy tor nis Wickedn’ss, but instead God has ofvred every ine q@acemcnt to the sinner. If one man caunot repent aM is true no man is able, but ail are able and gre expected to repent. If this were the case the whole subject would have no meaning. In alt Ages repentance has peen going on. So every man ef us 18 expected to repent as they did in’ olden tunes, The speaker said he had ut Chosen this sub- ject a8 a thing impossible, it was for their incerest that be had taken it to-day. So long as they ate Seuipted vo ward o:f this subject, sv 1oug would they be without repeptance, They might not be con- ecious of this at present, but it would come to them before long.

Krxaston, April 23, 1871. concourse of worshippers First Reformed church— congregations in Ameri- listen to the eloquent words of the young, popular and talented pastor, Rev, D. N. Vandeveer. His subject was the Anvisipility of God. He took his text from the Gospel of St. John L, 18—No man hath seen God at any time.” It 1s curious, at least, remarked the reverend gentleman, that what professes tobe a revelation of God should explicitly declare Him to be invisible. Every revelation, however, carries With it something of a concealment. The words which express some thoughts suppress others; the effort which conveys some sentiments baries and covers over many others. So, unless the Deity essays to manifest himself, He often grows most mysterious. That which 18 unreveated ts far greater than that which is made known; only a Anite part 1s divalged; the infinite is unknown to ail but the infinite, The Deity is invisible to human wave, it 18 ihe result of Mis being God. For what ever is Immaterial is visivie. There are INFLUENCES IN THE PHYSICAL WORLD Wich, grand and potent, are withal imperceptiple and mysteriows—such a8 electricity, gravity and ‘hemical affinity, Noeye has ever seen thought or auMENt; ho one Nas ever seen those beings called “nimistering Spirits; nay, Indeed, no one has ever seen man—only tie house of dust im which he re- wides—not the inner spirit which 1s himself. So Jeuovan is invirible, We see Lie Kingdom, not the king. His works prove his existence—do not de- monstrate his essence or person, ihe Scriptures Tecount certain truths, but do not expiain them—the Trinity, Incarnation, Holy Spirti—and so Christianity a8 distinguisied by faith in the most inscrutable Mysterious diMeuliies, but not contradictions—m- conceivabie, not mpossibie, And though (he salva. tiou ofa race Is at stake the Deity does not unveil Himeaeif.

Ronpovt, April 23, 1871, The neat and tastefully designed edifice of the Church of the Holy Spirit (Episcopal) was filled by an attentive and appreciative assembly this morn- ing, when the rector, Rev, James Byron Murray, M. A., delivered one of nis. characteristically forcible and impressive discourses, His text was from I. Peter, 1., 13—*Bleased be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which, according to his abundant mercy, hath begotten us again unto & lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.” The hopes of the disciples, which had been almost crashed by the death of Christ, he remarked, were revived by his resurrection, A deep gloom had settled over their hearts and minds, and the expressions of tnetr lips only made more manifest their great sadness. Even St. Peter him- self returned to his former calling, as if with the | death of his Master all hope was ended, and his | sublime mission as “a fisher cf men’? was over for- ever. The text shows us a view of his feelings such a8 a Mistory of his life at this time would lead us to expect. It would seem to say, cast down in utter despair, our hopes sealed up in our Master's tomb, NOT DARING TO LOOK FOR BRITER PROSPECTS, we were giving up all thoughts of Christ and fits religion, when His resurrecuon changed ail and “begot in us @ lively hope.’ And it need not sur- prise us that im contemplating the resurrection of our Lord the Apostie should use the language of Praise and thanksgiving. It 18 the resurrection ‘which consummates the Father's love and sets the | seal to Christ's sacrifice. It declares Him to be the Son of God with power; it adds force to the preach- ing of the Gospel. and gives the Christian the assur- ance of a resurrection to everlasting life, Our Lord’s resurrection 18 attested by proofs which none can withstand, It 1s the foundation of every believer's hope in thts life and the life to come, That it was a doctrine of great import iu Christianity 18 clear from the position which it obtatned in the teaching of the Apostie and in the induence it has had over the Caristian mind in every age. And when the Apostles chose one to fill the place of the traitor Judas, it was with this express purpose that he should witness the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, His resurrection was the subject of pro- phecy. It cheered the holy men of old, It was Jore- shadowed in the splendid types of the temple ritual. The Apostle to the Gentiies, among the most positive proofs of the resurrection, appeals to the prophecies of the Old. Testament, Christ, he argues, died for human sin, was buried and rose from the tomb, accordiug to the words of the prophets, Advancing from this proof he appeals to those who saw our Lord after his resur- Tecton. Nor ig it by a few that our Lord is seen, but by five hundred who were living when he wrote his first epistie to the Church of Coriub; and never were witnesses 80 CLEAR IN THEIR TESTIMONY, Paul appeals, waen he sets beiore his converts the grand truth of the resurrection of our Lord from the dead. But still proceeding in his argument he you ask, what connection is there may between such statements and the resurrec- tion’ They have much to do with Christ's | rising trom the dead. It is by His spirit that we Teceive grace, And It 1s because Carisi rose and ascended that the Comiorter has come tuto the World. Every time a staner turns from Satan unto God he fs not only @ living testimony of God's grace, buta witness of the power of the resurrection. Tiere is no doctrine that can so encourage and animate the struggling Christian as the doctrine of a risen and living Curist. St. Paul prayed that he might know Himand the power of [lis resurrec- uon, that he might be defended by that power in the hour of trial, that he might find in it the Strength of saivation. It sustaimed Stephen, too, when in the midst of a fierce assault be looked up to heaven and saw Jesus standing at the right hand of God. In the minds of the apostles every Christian hope and duty, every ordinance of the Church is joined with the resurrection, The seventh day of the week points backwara to the rest of God after the creation, witle the first day of the week Is the perpetual proof of our Lord’s rising irom the dead. One Apostie closely joins it with baptisin, while another joins it with our rising from sm. Practically, Christ’s resurrection has a bear- ing upon our resurrection. It is the pledge and token of our rising, He 1s but the first fratts of them that slept; or as the first fruits was | the pledge of the harvest to come, so the resurre tion of our Lord is the forecast pattern of ours. who first created us can again bring our bodies from the dust. Every flower, which tn this glad Jaster-tide ts telling 1s parable of the resurrection, though it may be with mute lips, every bad which is bursting into bloom 13 the token of another life for us, ‘!his apring ts preaching the doctrine of the resurrection, The earth, with ifs vegetation, 1s now giving us, if not a proof, at least a sign, of the rising of the dead, And it is FROM THE PROCESS OF TNE VEGETABLE WORLD that St. Paul has brought forward one of his most eloquent arguments for the resurrection of the body. He does not speak of the immortality of the soul, for that is immortal by its nature; but of the resurrec- ton of the body. "His iliustration is taken from a seed of corn sown in the ground, That “is not quickened except it die.” As in every grain of corn there is a principle which in due lapse of time shapes into definite form, so in this body which passes into dust there 1s a seed of life which in the resurrection shall become immortal; as it has borne vhe image of the earthly, so 1 shall also bear the image of the heavenly. Is the body of Christ’ incorrupuble? So’ onr body shall be changed, fashioned like unto His own glorious body, according to the mighty working whereby He isable to subdue all to Himself, Let us make prac- al to ourselves this doctrine of the resurrection. Upon this doctrine let us rest in the certain hope that Be who brings lignt out of darkness and life out of the decaying world will in his owa good time restore man to Himself. It 18 this doctrine which turas death into a messenger of peace. It matters not if our dust be scattered far and wide; we feel assured that God, wio tirst created it, can recall ‘whatever 1s necessary to our personal identity, and Uhat as our body was “ROUGHT WITH A PRICE,” itshall hereafter be glorified, Let this thought quicken me toa more holy life—a liie more in- jorined to our risen Redeemer. Let us live more by faith tin Him, who by His resuirection was de- clared the Son of God with power. This faith will cheer us in our last agony; and as we resign our body to death and the grave, we shall be enabied to say with one of old—‘I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that He shall stand atthe latter day upon the earth, and though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shail I see God. MORMONISM. Ihé Conference of the Latter Day Saints—Brig- ham Young on Lawyers, Miners and Gamblers—Tho Mormon Tone To- wards Gentiles Improving. SALT LAKE Crry, April 16, 1371. ‘One of the great and attractive features to Salt Lakedom during the past week was the SEMI-ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THR SAINTS, who poured in here from the most distant settie- ments of the Territory to listen to the advice and exhortations of the apostles, bishops and leading conference was held im the Temple, an immense building, shaped somewhat like the haif of an ee cut longitadinally, which, with the new galleries recently added, can easily seat 12,000 peopie. It was well filled on Sunday tast, the final session of the general congregation of tae church, on account of the delivery of discourses by Brigham Young, Orson Pratt and other shining lights in the Kingdom of God which has been established in this beantiful basin of Ctah.

Under ordinary clreum- stances the growth of this new clement would have been slow and almost imperceptible. But the dls- covery of immense and most inexhaustible mine- ral mines of unparalleled richness has entirely changed the elements of the problem to be solved 1n the mid-continent, A new class of people’ are rushing in here. Not the quiet, conservative, agri-+ cultural class which has hitherto made up the popu- lation of this Territory, but the active, enterprising, far-seeing, broad-minded and shrewd moncy- seekers—miners, merchants, speculators and men of tne world; people who are not given to religious or philosophical dreaming, nor Who are much inclined to submit to sham, bypoc- ricy, cant and stock-In-trade of religious sects who claim the possession of all the virtues and piety of the world. | [t 1s this new class ef people, 80 liavle 2 Aady le in the exercise of the rights and preroga- tives ol FREE-BORN AMERICAN CITIZENS, | that 1s likely to be found uupleasantiy opposed to the representauive of the Kingdom of Goa in this | land, and its narrow, iliiberal, restrictive and offen- | sive laws.

He BIRUCK A BLOW AT THE GAMBLERS, who are likely, as i all mining regions, to become a. Tather prominent element ta the populanon; and suggested to them that they had better put thelr money to uses that would subserve wise and good purposes, to aid in building cities and towns, open farms, educate the children of the poor and do good. | Tie told them that their lives were poor, miserable ones, a disgrace to the human famity, and advised It they would not tako the advice of Brigham Young, let them get aon 8 Liar ede hoe sound advice, and it is to be hoped, though I fear it will not, be adopted by the | proprietors of the five taro banks just started within the saintly city. Brigham recommended miners | to settle their differences by arbitration, and not enter upon the uncertainties and ex. pgnees: of courts, and thought that judges might tter be employed in farming than as they often are. This advice, the congregation enone. was the birth of @ recent decision of the United States District Court here, which mulcted the city for more than $60,000 lor illegally breaking open and destroying a large stock of iiquors belonging to @ Gentile, who declined to pay an exorbitant licence to the city, which assesses discriminating)y between the churchmen and the “heathen” who @ permanent and stable mining interest iad com- menced in the Territory: he was acquainted with a number of capitalists here to invest in the mines, gud he was satisfied that they were honest men, who desired 10 MAKE MONEY ON HONEST PRINCIPLES, and recommended the Latter Day Saints to werk and work honestly for those men, who would pay them noneatly, He was glad to welcome the new comera, Referring to the richness of the country, he neta that without the ratiroad across the Cont!- nent the mines could not be profitably worked; and while the branch line from Salt Lake City was also Tei gcany in view of the transportation of ore, 16 was his intention. to extend that line as speedily as Possible to the Cottonwood mines. le remarked on the negligence of the Saints to pay their tithing, and complained that while the poor gave ohe-tenth ‘to the Charch 9 THE RICH DID NOT COME TO TIME. And that, I may remark, wit! be the trouble in the fmenre, When men get comfortably of and caw make a livelihood independent of and tn spite of the Church, they don't give so freely as the poor people, who cannot afford to be excommunicated and con- signed to the “buffeting of the devil,” as the church- men have it. The discovery of the mines aud the influx of capital will agord - work for the por, an in turn, ney will become independent, and, course, will be cut off from the Church, ~0 im man, ways these mines will play the very Old Scracc with the Church, and finally be the cause of ite dis solution. A new daily paper called the Tribune appeared on Saturday last. As it is not under Church influence it will becone very popular among the Gentiles, and an organ of miners and mining news 1n the Ter- ritory,. Tue News and Herald, published here, are both Church or Mormon organs; so the Tribune will have a fair Held.
