AMERICAN FREE CHURCH. Charges Against Pubtic Men—The Evils ot e City—Picuics, Rowdyiem and Free Leve—Tue Herald as a Consor—Sermon by the Rev. C. B. Smyth. A fair congregation assembled in this little churca yesterday to listen to the address of the pastor, the Rev. ©. B. smyth, who took for his text the admo- nitions of Christ to the women of Jerusalem. Tie reverend gentieman said:—The text for the day is Baken irom the Gospel of St, Luke, xxii, 28— “Weep not for Me, but weep for yourseives and your children.” These words were uttered by our Lord Jesus Christ when He was being ied away to be crucified, And the lesson which they teaci us 18 Shat we should not sorrow for the departure of the a and that our sorrow should rather be given to ose who remain exposed to the temptations and TRIALS OF THB WORLD. Yn the punishment whicd vefell the Jews for their hard-hearteduess we have only a type of what awaits gil nations that turn away from the paths of right- @ousness. On the wicked God shall rain dre and brimstone, It 1s not necessary for our punish- Wert that our city ehall be besieged. God gan send toscourge us for our sins cholera and Yamine and pestilence, or he may aflict us with cor- Fapt corporations, who shall thtnk only of their Pellisn interests, and plunder and oppress the people, ‘and shall sacrifice even their lives to their selfish eupidity.

The horrors of ‘which the newspapers daily informs us, the railway accidents, steamboat explosions, the murders and DARING OUTBAGES IN THY PUBLIO STREETS, She rowdyism at picnics, violations and free love @evelopments, almost force us to believe that no ‘who said that it was “‘beiter to reign in hell than Berve in heaven” had come among us and set up his hrone.

PATRICKS ROMAN CATHOLIC CATHE- DRAL, The Prevalence aad Beormity of the sin ef Detraction=“Who Ste Could Say, Kearney. At St, Patrick's cathedral yesterday morning the congregation was rather tnin, owing, of course, [0 the heat, which caused the majority of the worsnlp- ers in the neighborhood to atiend the earlier and shorter masses. A great many, therefore, missed hearing A SERMON SADLY NEEDED by a much larger uumber of professing Christians than would fil all the pews in the Mulberry street house of Catholic worship. The preacher there Yesterday was the Rev. Father Kearney, and the sin of detraction formed the subject of his discourse, He read the gospel of the day from Maik, vil, 81 to 37, Ouraivine Lord, said he, touched the tongue of a man who was dumb, and he spoke right. There was a lesson in these few words which ail Christians should take care to profit by. We are not to suppose that the aflicted person aimuded to in the Scriptures was really and perfectly dumb. He haa simply some IMPEDIMENT IN HIS SPEROH which rendered his conversation unpleasant; but when our Lord relieved him, he “spoke right? in lore senses tan oae—his speech was periect, and his first words were words of thauks and praise to his Divino Benetactor, The lesson to be derived from this 1s that we, whose tongues have been loosed, suould always speak mght, should always speak with charity towards our neighbor, because we are bouad not only to love God, but to love every one else for fis sake. The mean sin of detraction 1s @ very common falling among us. There 1s no place and no company we can enter into where we du not find persons who are constantly speaking disparag- ingly of their acquaintances. Detraction is a sin against charily, because we are bound to love, and, Af not to serve, at least not to injure our neighbors. It we really love God we must prove that love by showing ourselves weil disposed towards ail His creatures, especially toward our fellow men. Detraction ts aiso A SIN AGAINST JUSTICE, because we take from our neighbor that which is of value to him and of which we have not the right to deprive fim. No one will doubt that if 1 rob a man of his worldly te T commit a grievous sin, but if I fich his good name from him 1 commita greater crime than if 1 picked the money out of lus pocket, Society is 80 constituted that no man is allowed to interfere with another's rizhts, and what more curageous interference can there be witha mau’s rights than an attempt to destroy his repata- tiva? There would be something like reason in the sianderer’s conduct if mis slanders did bim any good; bat, instead of that, he ofven does more injury to himself than to the persons he wouid caiumuiaie, ‘Those to whom he speaks are sure to louk upon him with contempt. If the person slandered be the slanderer’s enemy the hearer, mentaily if not alond, says, “Behold, unis man has @ gruage against his neighbor, and, instead oi having it oul ma maniy way, he meaniy tries to destroy lis enemy's reputa- tion behind bis back.” Jf,on the other hand, the siandered person be the siancerer’s iriend, tue latter wili most naturaily be regarded as A TREACHEROUS WRETCH, whose very presence poisons tne alr which honest men must breatne, and all trust and confidence, without Which this Life 1s realiy Worthiess aiter al will be promptly Witadrawn from him. Mutual esteem and confidence, which are required for the peace and the very existence of society, are under- mined and destroyed by the detractor. ‘those who make It a practice to talk tl of their neigiburs are generally IDLE AND WORTHLESS FELLOWS, who have much tune on their hands and do not know how to make a proper use of it.

Results of Adam’s Sin and of Christs Obe- diencemSermon by Kev. Pr. Curry. The Rev. J. Elder, pastor of this church, is spend- ing his vacation in the country, and yesterday his pulpit was occapied by the Rev. Dr. Curry, formerly member of’ Congress from Alabama before the war, and now the pastor of a Baptist church in Rich- mond, Va.. who preached to a goodly-sized congre- gation from the words contained in Genesis iL., 16, 1i—“And the Lord God commanded the man, say- ing, of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat, butof the tree of the knowledge of good and evil thou shart not eat of it; for in the day thon eat- est thereof thou shalt surely die.” When the world first came forth from the creative hand of omplpo- tence and love it must, he said, have been exceeding glorious and beantiiul, The Father looked upon it and pronounced it good, very good. There was an adaptation in all lis parts to the purposes of Its crea- tion. There was brightness 10 tue sky, BEAUIY.IN THE LANDSOAPB, fragrance in the flowers and joy in everything. Man was made upright, plessed and happy also. His eye was calm and his conscience easy; he knew no guilt, he felt no shame; Nis heart was pure and his prospects good as his soul went out toward God. Man was @ stranger to fear. His body was free from pain and disease; he conversed with God and commuted with the Father. He was as happy as a being could be, Yet this bright picture was soon to be marred by sin, Man was tne highest illustration of God's great goodness, power and love, capable of the greatest degree of happiness, He Was created @ living soul In the image and likeness of God aud made @ litle lower tuan theangels. He was not made like the material universe, governed by fixed and unalterabie laws, like the stoues aud the lowers and the stars even, unill the end of ume, Had he been so created he could have made no progress and been subject to moral and legal accountability. He could neither iearn, remember, hate or love, But far otherwise 13 it with man. He is endowed with faculties and susceptibilities capa- ble of the highest development, But with this pro- gressive accountability a special command was given against the indulgence of the appetites, There was NO MORAL INTERNAL EVIL, nothing wrong per se, he conteuded, in Adam eating the formidden irutt, ‘ihe prohibition was obligaiory because God had commanded to abstain from it and Unis abstention was to be the test of man’s ovedi- ence. What God commands 1s His creature's good; what He jorbids is His creature’s evil. Unquestion- ably man’s highest periection is attained by obeying the divine wil aud command and to recognize those things pertaining to human progress in obedience and ljeve. Tne test was therelore necessary to man’s progress, accountability and happiness. Man Was mide a living soul, @ spiritual :atelligence, with a@ periect freedom of will to choose and to act. Mind und matter are controiled by very different laws. Manis governed by moral ard inteliectual laws. You are here, the preacher remuvked to the congregation, Voluntarily and with treedom to choose between the good and the evil, to come or stay away. s accountability in man 1s honored by God.

The morning services at Zion chureb, corner of Madison avenue and Thirty-eighth street, were but slimly attended yesterday—the result, of course, of the liegira imto the country at this season of our wealthy and fasvionable churchgoers, Though there was a seemingly beggarly array of empty pews, the services were particularly interesting and the music, as 1lalways Is here, Was untisually fine, Occupying the pulpit was Bishop Southmayd, the well known missionary Bishop, fur many years in Asia stuor.

CHURCH OF THE SECOND ADVENT. “ Bisbop” Snew on the Rampage—No lnmor- tality for the Soul Until 4fter the Resurrece thon“ Chriatt Theclogians Aro Stupid Asses.” . ‘There ts @ little room in the second story of the | New York University which wili hola about seventy- five persons when the apartment 1s crowded. In this room, every Sunday afternoon, a number of strange-looking people meet to hold communion, under the auspices of a man who calls himself “Bishop Snow,” whose full name 1s Samuel Shef- field Snow. This man at one time used to hold out in the Bowery, up a dingy garret, ike ene of the primitive Christians who frequented the Catacombs, and it 1s said that when times were hard His Grace Bishop Snow was cut down 10a mealaday. Then the “Bishop”? migrated toa dark apartment in the Cooper Institute, and on Sunday afternoons came @ score or 80 of GAUNT AND DECREPIT DISOIPLES of the “Universal Churen’’ (which numbers, all told, about sixty persons) to listen to the “Messenger of Jehovah,” the ‘Spirit of Ellas,” the “Angel of the Covenant” and the ‘Prophet of Mount Zion,” for by all these titles has Bishop Snow aubbed himself, Smee then the “Bishop” has had many episodes, vicissitudes, ups and downs. He is a man of a good eal of miscellaneous reading, with the cacatines loquendi largely developed, and when services are over it ig usual for the “Bisuop” to call upon the faithfui to subscribe or buy # pemobins irom a stock or cheap literature which piled up on a table below the Prophet's reading desk. The “Prophet of Zion’? 1s @ tall, gaunt-looking person, with gray- ish hair, asuit of black broadcloth and @ pair of patent leather shoes. He has a rolling ere and a wild look, Which takes in everything in the room, icinding the stamps which have been deposited on a collection piate by the voluptuous-looking sexton. Imbedded th tbe other stamps 1s a quiet ten cent note contributed by the HERALD reporter to the cause of the Second Advent. ‘The “bishop,” as he proceeds In his rather denunciatcry sermon, which has lor its ule “SRE THE DEAD CONSCIOUS 1!” pitches into the Christian religion and into all the orthodox theologians who have asserted that the soulis distinct and separate froin the body, He also asserted that the soul 1s life, and that the soul 13 but @ breath, and fl .ally asserted that the soul 1s not immortal unul after the resurrection of Christ, Untti that period, which the “Prophet of Zion” ex- ects to come soon, it wiil be pecessary that all souls which leave che body shall suiter aniithiiation, ‘Tne “Bishop” reiated an anecdote of a friend of his who had narrowly cscgped drowning. The man stated that he was unconcious toiaily while in the water, “Now,” said the worthy “slshop,’”? “where was that man’s soul? Can any stupid Christian theologian teil me? Of course not, AS weil might they eudeavor to make me believe that there is a heli such as is depicted by the beilevers in orthodoxy and that men and women shall go on burning for all eternity without a drop of water to wet their lips.

Dr. DBoyren’s ChurchWhat It Does in -the Vacation Season—Help for the Suf- fering, the Sick and the Dying—Sermen on the Life that Now Is, and a Ke beke to the French Infidel and the German Panthei Dr. Duyrea’s church in Classon avenue does not ad opt the fashionable practice of closing its church during the “heatea term,” neither does the pastor take the regulation vacation, It is neither a desire for the reputation of singularity or an austere, un- human piety that prompts this practice. Anybody who may have thought so had that notton dispelled pretty considerably yesterday morning. There was @ house well filled, in the best sense, with a higiy respectanie congregation. Just before tno hymn was sung, before the sermon, the Doctor said that the congregation might remember that about this time last year he .asked them to contribute to a collection for the poor, the suffering and the dying. The response was so hearty that much good had been enabled to be done by their beneficence, At this season of the year there was more than usual de. mands upon the benevolence of the church, and it was to meet this demand that he would ask them to make a similar collection that morning. Now that the churches were closed for the suinmer months the ordinary organizauons for the sustenance of THE SICK AND THE SUFPERING were not available. Their church was tn its ordinary activity, and they had consequently the honored position of sustaining the sick and needy of the whole district who required Christian heip and guidance, They had been able to succor many & needy one, to smooth many a weary head on the pil- low of sickness, to bury in lots where the sorrowers claimed for ts own, and In some iustances to for- ward the survivors to other parts of the country where their relatives lived, and they bad the leasure of receiving letters from those who had been so removed acknowledging their gratitude and notiiying thelr union in those places With some Ulristian church. Now it was for a continuance of these purposes he wished for a collection that morning. It need not be a very large collection, but suMicient to tide their available funds over the summer months, The baskets Were passed round, and from the rustling jie of “siamps’’ that were up-Leaped in all of them he congregation seemed to have given of their abundance. Dr. Puryea’s subject was “The hope of Immor- tality we Have in This Life,” aud the text selected was the nineteenth verse of the nifteenth chapter of St. Paul’s epistie to the Cormthian “ut in this llie only we have hone in Christ, we are of all men the most miserable.’ There were two ordinary views of looking at this text, Ono was, “If in this | the only we have hope, then we are of all men the | most niiserable;”’ the other was, “if in thts life only | we bave hope in Christ, then we are of all men the most miserable.” Hope had been defined vo be ex. | pectancy marked with desire.

PIUS’ CHURCH, EAST NEWARK, Laying a Corner Stoue—Interesting Services— Sermon by the Right Rev. Bishop Bayley, ef New Jerscy. The corner atone of the new chapel now in the course of erection by the Catholics of East Newark was Jaid with appropriate ceremonies yesterday afternoon, @ large audience (over two thousand having congregated to witness the event, among whom were many from Newark and the adjacent parishes, ‘The bullding now used being too small to accom- modate the rapilly increasmg membership, the church & short time since commenced the erection of the newedifice, whichis seventy feetin length ond twenty-ilve feet wide, It 13 adjacent to tne building uow used, and when Anished will aad greatly to the architectural adornments of the viliage. The pastor of the parish, Rev. Father J. J. Mc- Gahan, 1a the little time he has labored in this com munity, has accomplished a great work. Tne chureh has already purchased a valuabie tract ot land on the main street, where they will build, as soon as the growth of the church demands it, a large and handsome structure. Prior to the com- Mencement of the exercises yesterday the Bish and several clergymen of Newark muse at Father McGahan’s house, from which place they marched in @ body through the street to the new chapel, fol- lowed by @ large number of people, At four o'clock the services began with the usual invocation, imploring the blessing ot the saints on the good work, ‘The corner stone was theu laid by the kight Rev.

He thought he saw too many drinking piaces, andin bis mind the godliness of a town wouid be found ex- actly in reverse to the number of drink- ing places which it contained. In reference to East Newark he must be mistaken, as there were evidently many good people there. He then alluded to the scriptural passage wherein it was promised that God wonld avert His judgment shout ten good people ve found in the town, and huinorously ejac- ulated that he was sure there were twenty good ones in East Newark. There 1s, continued the Bishop, @ great work to be accomplished in this place. The schoolnouse and the chapel which they at present used were {oo small tor tie population; and it has become necessary to have a proper parish church, a church of good appearance, which would, when their eyes rested upon it, turn their thoughts to spiritual things and strengthen their faith. He then spcke of what was being done in otber parishes, so they coaid understand what they ought to do. Some happy allusions were tuen made to the proper way for the poo- ple to contribute to God’s cause. The mode pursued by many of erecting marble monuments to perpetuate memory was of no real benefit. He advised the erection of churches, asy- jams, hospitals, &c., instead. In conclusion the renee counselled temperance, charity and fatth. He denounced the various isms of the day and also “female suffrage,” which theory, he said, no true woman who lover her home could en- dorse. These fallacies had never existed in the church duriug her existence of over nineteen hun- dred years, and they never should.

At five o'clock this morning the exercises of the day commenced by family worship in every tent. The prayers offered to the Tbrone on High were many, and as all prayed in tones more or fess loud the chorus of “O Lords’ that went up were very affecting. At etght o'clock there was a prayer meeting atthe grand stand. At half-past ten o'clock the regular Sunday service commenced, ‘the seats around the grand stand ‘were all occupied, and people stood packed together as far back as it was possible to hear anything. ‘There must have been FIVE THOUSAND PEOPLE present, The prayers were very «devout, The Pre. siding Elders and many ministers occupied seata tn the pulpit. From the nomber of ministers present it 18 possible that those who remained at home had to content themselves with prayer meetings. Revs, Reynolds, Hill, Oldin, Tower, Johnson, McAllister, Hadley and Dr. Mitchell participated in the exer cises, The singing Was done by the whole eongre- gation. ‘the melody of the THOUSANDS OF VOICES that sent forth words of praise to God might have been distinctly heard nearly two miles away, ‘At one o'clock a profound silence was observed on the ground, Prayer meetings were held tn the so ciety tents, and also in the private ones.
