FIFTH AVENUE BAPTIST CHURO Discourse by Rev. Thomas Armiti Spirimal Lite. ‘The Fifin Avenue Baptist church, on West Forty- mxth street, near Fifth avenne, was quite crowded during the morning services yesterday with its usual fasbiovable congregation. The services were con- ducted by the Rev. Dr. Thomas Armitage, pastor of the churen, who preached a very eloquent sermon from the text, “Ye dis, and your life 1s hidden with Christ in God.” Re spoke briefly bunt to the point, and in exvianation o! the words of Holy Wnt spoxe as follows:—Taken in the Iiteral sense the works of the text would be A SERMING PARADOX. It is said “ye die, and your life Is hidden with ‘with Christ in God.” That is first speaking of death and immediateiy afver calling that deatn life. But ‘here is nothing tn the words that is in reality im- possible or even strange when regarded trom a Spiritual standpoint. tis true nothing 1s more dis- sim'lar than life and death, and yet the Apostle couples them together as if they were synonomous terms, But what is meant by the words of the text 4s that the betiever in Christ is dead tothe werld— ead to sin—as it were, dead to all things, but still ALIVE TO CHRIST, A believer's life is a life of peace. He looks at God, fot as an angry ruler or despot, but as a kind Master, whom he loves and obeys, not from fear, but becanse it is pleasing duty. He lives a spiritual life, which prepares him for the life to come, when be will sit at the rignt hand of God, In asensval sense the LIFE OF THR BELIEVER differs not from that of any his fellows, but he has av overcoming feeling of quietness and serenity corresponding to that life which is the reward of a true follower of Chrisi. We are all conversant with the fact that What will convert one man and render him capable of hearing God’s word with good eect | will, on the otber baud, harden another, and has no | effect upon him. It is wondeiiul the meaus God Uses to save men and bring them 10 a sense of thetr | Mothingness, Spiritual lie ts produced secretly and | silently without auy vistoie cause. ‘The meauing of the words “your Iie is hid wit Christ in God’? 13 that Gov, being the fountain of ilfe, whe springs ail ine. therefore the life of the believer is hidden | 4m the fount of life.

ST. PAUL'S CATHOLIC CHURCH, HARLEM. Dedicatery Services Yesterday—The Ark of Mosew and the Churct of Gcd—Christ Can be with No Church That Does Not Claim Tofallibility—iImpesing Ceremonics and Ser- mons by Archbishop McCloskey and Kev. Father @ Farrell. The Catholic population of Harlem, under the guidance and secouding tne exertions of the Rev. Fatner McGuire, have recentiy been doing wonders in furtherance of the Catholic cause in that neigh- borhood, In addition to erecting a residence for the Sisters of Mercy and large and commodious school honses for the primary instruction of Catholic children, Father McGuire has just completed a large addition wo St. Paul’s church, which makes that house of Worship one of the most commodious and comfort. able tn the metropolitan suburbs, Yesterday the solemn services of dedication were performed by Archbishop McCloskey, assisted by a number of the most distinguished Catholic clergymen of the arch- diocese. As part of the usuai dedicatory ceremonies, high mass was offered by the Very Rev, father Starrs, Vicar General, as celebrant, witn Father Mooney, of St, bridget’s church, as deacon, Father Baxter as snb-deacon, and Father MeNeirny, the Archbisuop’s secretary, a8 master of ceremonies, The services were more than usuaily beautiful and interesting. THE CHURCH WAS IN ITS BRIDAL ROBES, 80 to speak, Aud presented a moat joyful appearance throughout, The ultar was toaded witn bouquets of rare and lovely Lowers sent thither specially for the occaston by the ledies of the Convent of the Sacred Heart, Mavhattaaville. The entire arrangements were adinirably conducted and carried out by the gentiemeu composing the Society of St. Vinceut de Paul. The music was simply exquisite. One of Ber- nardi’s masses was sung by Miss Deacon, soprano; Mr. Donovan, tenor; Mr, Sullivan, basso, and a chorus composed of young ladies from the Sunday school, While the Organ was presided at by Professor Daly. " THE SERMON OF THE DAY was preached by the Rev. Father O'Farrell, of St. Peter's church, Barclay street, an eloquent aud sweet-voiced speaker. He took for his text Apo calypse, twentieth chapter, second verse, “Belold the tabernacle of God,” &c. These words, said the preacher, were first uttered in heaven by Him wno sat upon the throne, and were recorded by St. Jobn. They will find their echo here w-day.

The more intelligent Jews were aware that there was no eiticacy in the sacri- fice liseli, but that beyond it and back of it there lay ihe true ides, aud Paul shows THE ROMAN CHURCH that by the coming of Christ the forms and typical sacrifices were done away. And as life was olfeved up under tne old dispensation, 80 must the Iie be wholiy offered to Christ under the new. The natural life sacriticed, wholly given to God, will beget a new and inner life, which wiil flow on forever and ever.

Sermon by the Rev. Frederick Hinckley ot the Uses and Abuses of Liberty. Wasninoron, July 9, 1871. Rey, Frederick Hinckley, pastor of the First Uni- tarlan church, preached this morning from the text, “We have been called unto liberty. Only use not liberty as an occasion for the flesh, but by love serve one another”—Galatians, v., 13. Mr. Hinck- ley said:—The last week brought to us again the anniversary of the proclaimed independence of our country. This occasion seems almost entirely to Nave escaped any worthy observance in this | Place; for with a single exception, so far ay I am aware—namely, that of the services at Mount Vernonu—there was nothing certamly worthy of the dignity of tne occasion. The mere silence of the public departments and the marts of business vacated, or the occasional, notsy demonstration of gun and bell and juvenile freworks, certainly were not of the character that Iam spAking. The Church, therefore, fecls com- pelied to speak where the State keeps silence, and the theme of the Church’s speech to-day might well | be one of congratulation over what that occasion referred to presented to ua in itsel( and in contrast with the past, Among the themes uf congratula- | ton presented tous none certainiy are more worthy than the slagle fact that on Tuesday morning last } 1¢ was in the power of the Presidout of these United States to prociaim, a3 he id, that THE TRRATY OF PEACE prepared by the representatives of the high con- tracting partics had been duiy ratified and accepted | and the ratincations properly exchanged; aud 80 that treaty of peace had become a iflxed fact.

This meeting room was pretty well filled by a well conducted and intelligent audi- ence, who seem to bear the heavy yoke ot capital and its atiendant misery with philosophic calmness, not to say resignation. There was an air of inquiry and curiosity on the faces of the majority of the as- sistants rather than any expressiun of deep interest in'the proceedings. An exception must be made in case of quite a number of gray beards who were hiberaily sprinkled through the assemblage. Whether these men, who had grown old before they were wise, had been at- tracted by the beauty of the doctrines, oF rather ravings, which were heard wt the meeting, or by the charms of the strong-mindea lidies who as sembled in moderate force, it would be difficult to dectde; but one fact 1s certain, that a good deal af “aminity”’ was visible between the snows of winter aud THE BLUSHING KO8E8 OF SPRING, or of autumn, as the case may be.
