In fact, 1 am confident that all good Jews shared the pleasure [ myself experienced in pe- using it. It was reireshing 100 see the great bibli- cal tenet of sacrifice 60 briefy yet so invincibly gustained. For myself, I could have wished that G, HH. B. had gone a step or two further. For instance, just where he sat down contented, the Romantsts Bet out in an endless litany of affirmations atout the texcellonce and necessity of sacrifice. They say it 4s the essence of religion; that reason itself says as much; that there never was a@ people but had its own sacrifice; that a religion wituout a sacrifice ts @asolemn sham; that none but a gtited priest like Luther and a royal bigamist like old King Harry ever could have planned such a farce as a religion without sacrifice. There is something tantalizing, I must coniess, in such stif and sweeping utter- vances. Of course, one can smile at them, but emiles are nob argument, and, really, after au, even if they were not out of place on serious topics, they are too cheap and too Mat, The great issue upon which | seek information ough your columns is:—is Christendom to-day thout @ sacrifice?

Sacrifices aud Symbols. To vax Eprvor oF THRE HenaLp:— Your journal of last Sunday, May 14, containa under the above heading What purports to be a criti- cism, signed “G. H. H.,’’ on a sermon delivered by me in the Temple Kmann-El, which was reported in the HERALD of the 30th ult, and published i full in No. LL of the Jewish Temes, It seems that “G. H. i.” has either misunderstood 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 ts characteristic of @ phase of intellectual culture which belongs to his- tory, Which ts no longer, and, as tar as we are able 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 logicaily elaborated and fully sustained by Scriptural proofs. Not the instituuon itself, bat “the prayer for ® restoration of the sacritices,” was called “a hollow falsenood.” And this conclusion, far from belug “inconsistent,” is in perlect harmony with the letter and spirit of my proposi- tion, I iully recognized the importance of sacri- fices as long as they constituted the centre and nu- clens of religious worship, but added ‘that ceremo- nials practised after that stage when the symbol bas lost its significant meaning, unable to move the sont or to engage the intellect, are not only unjnsti- tiabie, but become a dangereus obstacle to rengious Worship in spirit and io truth’? My quotations trom the prophets are both “fair! and perunent, as they are all conceived in the spirit of my proposi- lion. Ll might have multiplied them ten and twenty- fold, but that 1 refrained trom overburdening the discourse with Biblical qnotations, “G. H. H."? is mistaken in referring them to idolatrous oblations, ‘41s is beguwing the queslion, The prophets in the instances citea directly applies their = stro- tures to the temple sacrinces when these had lost their eliictency see also salah 14 and Jeremiah vii. Their —antn- aaversious, and, tdeed, progressive cui- the lure of the human mind, abundantly prove that sacrifices Were nolhing more tan an clementary phase of religious Worship, symbolical, but not typical, in Cher character, ifence I was fully justi- fied m pronouncing the doctrine of “vicarious sacrifice’ as being “devoid of every Scriptural and rational foundation.’? And since “G. H.

Every one is his own Redeemer if he should need redemption trom his own sins, and for those of others he will never be committed. The practical life 18 the pivot of Juda- ism, Beltef 1s of Import only in so far as it tends to the furtherance of moral elevation. The Talmud says: ‘ne righteous of all nations will share tue enjoyment of eternal happiness,” Thus it 1s very plain that the sacrifice never was @ mysterions thing in Judaism, The sacriitce could never atoné, In- demnification was necessary, and tue only medium of atonement, aud any sacrifice must have been preceded thereby (Leviticus 1, 2-6.) The datly sacrifices Were nothing but a form of public worship, 1ntrocuced into Mosaicisin as a temporary conces- sion to the spirit of the age and a preventive against demoralizing idolatry (Leviticus xvii, 7). Jere- Miah sternly repels (vil. 22, 23) the idea of ascribing any pre-eminent infuence and importance to tie sacrifice in itself, We admit that tne prophets re- proached the people on account of their tdulatry, vecause it was the source of immoraily and the most horrible crimes, which were alt the more horrivie and degenerating as committed in honor of the idols and in obedieace to their pretended commands. Besides idolatiy irustrated the early consolidation of the bation. Idolatry was not overcome until alter tne return from the Babylonian exile, and though the Tormer rite was restored, the sacrifice soon lost its significance since thenceforth prayers became a More popular element of public ‘worship, and syna- gogues were estavilshed everywhere, Kegarding the prophecies ol the coming Messiah, my beliet is that mankind will daily slowly but bac surely advance toward the state of things the propheis pictured.

[From the Manchester Guardian, May 3.] No greater mistake could pussibly be made than to suppose that the German movement, to which the name of anti-Infailibilism may be applied, can be Teckoned upon as a nineteenth century counterpart of Luther’s Reformation. We are constantly e: posed to blunders ’of this kind. No sooner dovs a DUilinger, @ Passaglia or a Hyacinthe appear on the scene than we rush to the conclusion that our weal of Christianity is avout to be realized In South Gee- many, in Italy and in France. What Pire Hya: i cinthe’s standpoint now may be we do not know; ; but who can forget the astouishment of the New ; York reporters when they discovered that the reverend father could see blots in the Papa yet hesitate to take his place in Mr. Henry Wara Beecher’s pulpit? The notion that religion is something that can be squeezed within the two boards of a book—as tn the Thirty-nine Articles or the Westminsver Coafession—is as monstrous a delusion as the pretcusion that the huinan soul, if it is to rest in the end, must travel via Rome. In re+ ligion, as im politics, we do not hesitate to assume that what answers most closely to our tueas musi be ood for all mankind. Many worthy people have ecn looking with cager hope to (he vaiue which Dr. Dillinger has been waging with the Uitramon- Ir tane faction which happens for the moment to be sapieme at the Vaticau. They have seen ia it the beginning of the Armagedaon—tue opening of a struggle in Wilch the triple crown must certainty sooner or later tumble into dust.

His early years were spent in “bitter warfare against Protestantism.’ ven after his first ardor for the faith as it was held by the Jesuits had cooled down he could not musier courage euough to aban- don the party of his youth. His views grew more liberal, but he was “timid and vacitiating.” “If he advanced a step he was sure immediately to retract it.” Thus matters went on, reason and prepcssession fighting a very doubtiul battle, In 1563 he began to speak of “the rights ot science,” and im the autumn of that year he invited the learned Catholics of Germany to meet atMunicn to discuss and determine the question which was agiiating his own mind, At this assem- bly he delivered # bold address: put the result of the whore was that at the cose of tne conference he telegraphed as follows to the Pope:—*fhe tmpor- tani quesdion concerning the relations of authority 2 1s determined tn tae sen. e of the subjec- Uon of science to authority.” Nothing, of course, e been more pleasing w the Vauican; but he advisers of his Holiness appear to ned tO a sense of the Inconventence of periiitting del:berations of the kind, The Pope sent is paternal blessing to De.

The popular superstition is that St, Mark ripens cherries on purpose for the Pope in backward sea- sons; but apparently that glorious apostle does Ss not take an equal interest in the continuation of ecclesi- astical processions, siuce nove took place on his fes- tival this year. THE POPE IN EXCELLENT HE 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 tits illness produced so mach sensation that all the papers, clerical a3 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 Liverta of yester- day, evidently written by a person versed in the traditional ceremonies of the Court of Rome. ‘The following extracts wili give your readers some idea of the approaching ciuarrassments of the Sacred College:— AFTER DEATH. “© On the death of a Ponult tue Cardinal Cameriengo, with the Tribunal of the Camera and tte Chancel- lors, accompanted by the Swiss guards, who remain under his orders duriug the vacant seat, Ue apartinents of the delunct Pope, calls him three Umes with a loud voice and strikes turee times on his temples with a littie hammer, with wuich also he afterwards breaks the Ring of the Pisnerman, used by modern Popes in sig ting their briefs, ‘ihe Chan- cellors make an inveutory in the rooms, put seais on the furniture and draw up format documents, The Cardinal Cameriengo enters immediately into the poitical authority of the extinct Pope.

The Spirits of Saul, Jonathan aud David Analyzed by Rev. 5. M. Inancs. The orthodox synagogue in Forty-fourth street, near Seventh avenue, was much better attended with worshippers yesterday than it sometimes ta, The portion of the Scripture read was from fires Samuel xviil., 20, hich details the victory of David over Goliath, the consequent friendship of David and Jonathan, Saul’s son, and the efforts of Saul te tuke David’s life, We all, said Mr. Isaaca, ad- mire the character of Job, and sympathize with him in the sufferings which he bore and which he had done nothing to merit, But nis friend Eliphaz de- clared unto him the secret—‘'There ts a spirit inman and the candle of the Almighty searcheth it ous.’? ‘The lesson of to-day introduces to three charae- ters possessing three different spirits. Saul mani- fested an evil spirit, Jonathan @ spirit ot friendshtp and love, and David a spirit of sanctification, Had Saul possessed @ good spirit no harm would have come tu him, and the kingdom would have descended to his son; but, possessed as he was with an evil spirit, he brought misery to himself and to every one around him. This spirit was first manifested te ward David, It LURKED IN SAUL’S BOSOM, and he could nether overcome it nor drive it out. How terrible it 18 to have in the human heart tus spirit of revenge, malevolence and hatredt Let us caretuily guard against it David had dene atm no wreng; nevertheless Saul could tnd no rest day nor might, pianning and plotting to take his life. Tue spirit of envy had conquered him, and with this spirit every one around him was made unaappy. As long as & tGod and im, and dealt out jusuce to the enemies of t of Israel, the hoty spirit of God prospered him; but as soon as he forsook the Ways of the Lord the hoy spirit ieft him and rested upon David, aud an evil spirit catered into Saul and abode with lim. Now mark the contrast between Saul and Jona- than, jus son, What a beautiful spirit was Jona than’s. There is none so fur in tistory as his. Be- hold what affection he bore toward David. The bis~ tory tells us tat “the soul of Jonathan was knit wiih the soul of David, and Jonathan Joyed him as his own soul David had seen the evideuces ol the evil spirit in Saul, and with bis stringed insirumens had tried to sootne and comfort the unhappy King. But he refused to be comforted, and there was nothing Jett ior David but to dee away to save bis lite. HIS PLACE WAS VACANT AT DINNER, nd When Saul asked nin god dectared thas must die, Jonathan replied, “Wherefore shall he slain? Whar hath he done? The good spirit within him has taught jum that David should be King of Israel, and he did hot seek to subvert the ways of (ae Lord, He argocd within himself, If God tatends to make hun kiag why should | opposer it, avd of what ayau would my opposition be?
