In fact, 1 am confident that all good Jews shared the pleasure I myself expertenced in pe- using it, It was refreshing too see the great bibli- eal tenet of sacrifice so briefly yet so imvincibly sustained. For myself, I could have wished that G, Hi, H. had gone a step or two further. For instance, just where he sat down contented, the Romantsts set out in an endless litany of aMrmations atout the texcellonce and necessity of sacrifice. They say it ds the essence of religion; that reason itself says as muuch; that there never was a people but had its own sacrifice; that a religion wituout a sacrifice ts S@asolemn sham; that none but a giited priest like ‘Luther and a royal bigamist hike old King Harry ever could have planned such a farce as a religion without sacrifice. There is something tantalizing, T must coniess, in such sit and sweeping utter- in the ‘ances. Of course, one can smile at them, but pmiles are nob arguinent, and, really, after ml, even if they were not out of place on serious topics, they are too cheap and too Mat, The great issue upon which I seek information through your columns is:—is Christendom to-day ‘without @ sacrifice? Uf not, what is the Chrisiian sacrifice’ The Romanists meet the question with- out hesitancy or ambiguity, faliing back upon the mass, We all know the keen reiish with wich they “go to mass.” Amid the crashing calamities of igypt, King Pharaoh sootved the sorrows ot his opie with the well known pauacea—“Go to joseph.” Let Komanists be hunted and harassed; Bet them be buried alive in catacombs, or relegated 0 dreary mountains or m y swamps, they will eep “going to mass.” You may, they consiantly vast, seize and confiscate our goods; and you may, Af you will, seck to stamp out our priesthood; but Gui’ you cannot do, even though you snould ull down its altars, is to quench the sacrificial fire hich tas steadily burned in ovr midst since the punt when ie was first kindled at the “Last Supper.” Hence, when back-sliding Romanists—tlor tuere are Buch—happen to miss “going to mass” they really feel out o: sorts with themselves; nor can any ‘amount of champagne stifte the real regret whic wits staring their returning consctousnes jay morning’s pillow.

Thus tue Komanist, returning on believe unday evening from a ride im’ the Central \Park, cheers himself with the thought that wis co-religionisis at the Antipodes are abso- utely “going to mass.” From such a position It is Worse than tsi seeking to disiodge im.

H. H..’’ on a sermon delivered by me in the Tempte Emanu-El, which was reported in the HERALD of the 30th ult. and published im full In No. Li of the Jewish Times, It seems that “G. H. H.” has either misunderstooa or wilfully misrepre- sented both the argument and the language of the sermon in question. I started with the proposition “that the Institution of sacrifices 1s characterisiie of a phase of intellectual culture which belongs to his- tory, Which 13 no longer, and, as tar as we are anle to judge, will never again be of any practical appit- cation for divine worship.” A careful perusal of the sermon must convince every unbiassed mind that this proposition bas been logically elaborated and fully sustained by Scriptural proofs Not the instimuon itself, bat “the prayer for #® restoration of the sacritices,” was called “a hollow falsehood.” And this conclusion, far from belog “inconsistent,” is in perlect harmony with the letter and spirit of my propost- tion, I iully recognized the importance of sacri- fices as long as they constituted the centre and nu- cleus of religious worship, but added ‘that ceremo- nials practised after that stage when the symbol as lost 1s significant meaning, unable to move the soul or to engage the intellect, are not only nnjusti- tiable, but become a dangereus obstacle to rengious Worship im spirit and io trath,’? My quotations from the prophets are both “fair? and perunent, as they are all concetved in the spirit of my proposi- oi Imught have multiplied them ten and twenty fold, but that 1 refrained trom overpurdening the discourse with Biblical qnotauons, “G.

Rome, Aprit 26, 1871. The Pope 1s always supposed to eat cherries on the festival of St. Mark, the 26th of April, and it is to be hoped that this time-honored observance was not negiecied yesterday, although the accompany- ing commemoration of the day, consisting hitherto of a grand procession of the Roman clergy, in re- Metabrance of the cessation of a pestilence, | don't recollect how long ago, was enurely ignored. The popular superstition is that St. Mark ripens cherries on purpose for the Pope in backward sea- sons; but apparently that glorious apostle does not take an equal interest in the continuation of ecclesi- astical processions, since noue took place on his fess tival this year. THE POPE IN EXCELLENT HEALTH. All the rumors about the precarious state of the Pope's health have turned out to be unfounded, as [ anticipated. Hts Hoiiness is as brisk as ever and receives visitors and deputations every day. But the rumor of fils iliness produced 80 mach sensation that all the papers, clerical as well a3 liberal, were full of the subject, and we have had nothing but Speculations on the selection and political principles of his successor ever since, An article entitled “The Conclave” appeared in the Libera of yester- day, evidently written by a person versed in the traditional ceremonivs ot the Court of Rome. The following extracts wili give your readers some idea of the approaching cmiuarrassments ol the Sacred College: AFTER DEATH, “On the death of a Ponuil tue Cardinal Cameriengo, with the Tribunal of the Camera and tne Chancel- lors, accompanted by the Swiss guards, who remain under tus orders during the vacant seut, repairs to Lie apartments of the detunct Pope, calls him three Umes With a loud voice and strikes tiree times on his temples with a little hammer, with watch also he afverwards breaks tue King of the lisnerman, used by modern Popes in sig ting their briefs. ‘ihe Chan- cellors make an tuventory In the rooms, put seas on t urniture and draw up formal documents.

The first logqa in the Cuuri of St. Vamasus might be prepared for that use, or the ‘oggia ot the Benediction, as was customary in iormer umes; but tae expense tn tin- ber and caryets would be considerable, and the Sacred Coliege will not be so cruel as to prepare suci a lugubrious spectacle under tne very eyes of PiuslX, ‘There remains the edifice of the Vatican pemunary, restored aud amplitied some years ago expressly for the conclave, as was then said. PARTIES IN THK PAPAL COLLEGE. After examining the most practical mode of ap- pilyig to this locality the conctave immunity stipu- jated by the law Ou Papal guarantees, which is still under discussion in the Italian Senate, the wriier goes on to demonstrate the state of parties in the Sacred College and the chance of eiection among tae different candidates tor the Pontifieal throne, pre: mising that the report of Pius LX. haviag provided for the election of his successor by @ special bill Is unfounded, and tuat i such a document really isted i¢ would provably be disregarded, experience having shown tuat che authority of Pontits ceases with tneir lives. The College of Cardinals has now no person WHO CAN BE INDICAT! before the scrutiny as likely to be elected. Nor ts the Papacy any longer a dignity to be eagerly de- sired. Even i, bonyre maigre, the juture Pope sub- mits to live under the domimion of the guarantees, the discord aiready manifested in the Catholic camp Tespecting the caaon of the fourth Vatican session will render every cardinal perplexed in accepting the 1uheritance of Pius 1X.
