W. E. Pentius Pilate and the Crncifixion of Christ. To THE EpiTor or rae HexaLp:— “Sayeat thou this thing of thyself, or did some one tell it thee of Me ?”—Joun, xvii, 34. ‘The above question was put by Christ to Pilate, in answer to Piiate’s question to Jesus in the pre- ceding verse, “Art Thou the King of the Jews?” ‘There 13 much greater importance attacied to Christ's question than appears at first on the face of it, Christ was anxious to learn whether the Roman Governor (Puate) had studied “Moses and the Pro- phets” sufficient to give him some idea that it was Just possible the prisoner (Christ) before him might hat Prophet wich should come” to reigu over the House of Israel, or whether all he (Pilate) knew about the matter was obtaiued solely from the com- mon current report of Him. Christ’s question to Pulate was @ shrewd one, well calculated to sift kim in regard to his belief or knowledge of Cod’s covenants and promises to the Jewish nation respecting the “Messiah” to sit upon the throne of David and reign as king over the | | house of Jacob, Thus we sce tne beauty, force and propriety of the conversation, brief as it was. We enter into the object of Christ replying to Pilate in answer to ats question, ‘Art thon the King of the Jews?,’ “Sayest thou this thing of thyself?” (that 1s, 13 this question of thine based on @ personal knowledge of or acquaintance with the subject as revealed in Moses and the propneis, or are you tolaliy ignorant of the subject as therein reveaied, Knowing nothing of ie more than you have heard from common report) “or did others veil 1t thee of Ner? Pilate, however, in his reply, eliher does not Sully comprehend Christ’s question or he evaues it by saying, “Anita Jew? Thine own nation and the cher priesis Lave delivered Thee tome, What hast ‘Thou done Pulato’s reply, ‘Am I a Jew ?’ would lead us to in- fer Unat ne supposed Christ thought that he (Pilate) Wanted to ovlain a bona ide uccusauon against Him by getting Christ to confess that He was tne King of the Jews. So Pilate tells him, “Thine own nation and tite chief priests have delivered thee to mie,” as if he had said, “1 don’t seek to accuse you; far'beit liom me, bat itis your own nauon, tie | Jews, that seeks tie accusation against you. Aim L aJdewr Ain J not # Rowwn Goveruor here, and can- not be supposed to take much interest iu purcly Jewish questions im matters of religious fain questions which { should be glad if you could se among yourselves without appealing to Kom: and to ine as Roman Governor’? Christ's reply, “ty Kingdora is not of this world, seems mor Pilaie’s question, Jews?” than to Mis secoud ac. And it is evident tuat disabuse Pilate's mina of any n ab the kingdom of which he had King, Was about to be set up im- mediately of the Jewsand even some ol the disetples supposed. To guard Pilate against this error Ubrist telia hum, “My kingdom ts not vhis work (age or dispensition), else would my servants fight tnat I should not he deuvered to the Jews,” popular error arising from the wmode of speech here jopted by Christ, namely—"My kingdom ts not of this worid,’? ts that the kingdom of Christ is a spirit- nai kingdom beyond the skies, not a kingdow to be set up on the earth, as the sermptures abandantly testy. Shis error has been fostered by the use of the phrase “tits world,” tustead of this “age" or “dispeusation.”’ In Cie Scriptures the term “worid’? is frequently used in a sense synonymous with “age” or “dispensation,” the passage under consid- eration being an instance in point. But though Christ was anxious to set Pilate right on these important potuts:—That He must bear the cross before He Wore We crown; taat His first ad- vent was to suifer death for the sins of ihe world— not to reign; that the ‘4lay’’ (age or dispensation) of the Genities (in whten Clirist said, “The Prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me”) must supervene between His first advent—to suifer—and His second—“in power and great glory,” to reign— He sald not a word calculated to raise in the mind of Pilate a doubt thac He (Vhrist) was the future King of the Jews, and that hereafter He should come again to sit upon the “tirone of His father David, at Jerusalem.” He ted Puate to understand that as He should be literaily crucified on the earth, so Ile should come the second time literaily tv “rego on the earth.’ = Christ's declaration, “My kingdom 1s not of this World” or “age,” was intended to assure late that although He (Christ) Was verily the “King of the Jews,” as the charge preiered against Him by the Jews afirmed, yet that His kingdom was not to be immeuiately eet Up, as Some supposed. Whether Pilate understood the full purport of Christ's ques- lions and statements does not appear. itis rerated of him that he desired to release Christ, but the Jews cried, “If thon let this man go, thou art not Cwsar’s friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Cesar.” (The Jewish nation at that time being in bondage or captivity to the then Roman Emperor under whom Pilate had veen ap- — Meaet hig eee Puate said, “Stall I crucify your king?’ Tne cnief pricste repited, + fave no king but Oxsat,? niggidk he ‘That Pilate considered Christ unworthy of death and desired to subsitute for tna Barravas, the robber, and that, failing in all nis enorts to’ save Hin from te Violence of bis own nation, he washed nis hands of innocent blood, is plamly recorded in | the parative, Since the day the Jews declared to Pilate, “We have no king but Cwsar,” they have had enough of the Owvsars.

TEMPLE EMANUEL. A Better Attendace ef Worshippers—Sermo! by Rev. Dr. Adlr. There was avery marked increase in the attend- ance of fashionable Hebrews and their families at the services inthis magnificent temple yesterday, though somewhat early 1n the season for the return of the exiles. There was, nevertheless, evidence that many of them have so returned, or at least have left their back parlors and opened the blinds of tueir front windows, which 13 equivalent to a trip to the country and return. There were o@ good many Gentiles present at the services also yesterday, several of whom were disappomted because the Rev.

The breeze created in Cincinnatl a few weeks ago by the bold denial of a “person God” by one of the radical reformers present bas not yet subsided in Jewish circles. Dr. Adier and the scnool of retormers to which he belongs Dave uttered their protest against the iapious assertion, and declared that the man who could believe or utter such a thought 1s WITHOUT THE PAL" OF JUDAISM, It was believed and expected, therefore, that D Adier would yesterday have combated thts fals teaching of a Westera rabvi, Meyers; but if touche: or designed to be touched xt all, it'was merely by the snost positive assertion of the unity aud persou- ality of God as a being mdependent and ouisidae of nature. ‘The sixth chapter of Proverbs, which cautions agatnst surctysiip, idieness and evil-doing, was sub- sequenuy real by Dr. Guthcim, and after the repe- ton Of certain prayers, following, and tue singing of @ hymn the couxregation disiutssed.

The Expiring Flickerings of the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting—General Review of the Pro- evedings—Sermons, Addresses and Love. fea-ts—The Visit of President and Mrs. Grant—Questionable Value of an Intense and Consecutive Course of Pious Cramming. OcEaN Grove, N, J., August 17, 1871. During the present week the President nas paid a visit to the camp ground. He came and departed very quietly, receiving no particular demonstration and imparting none. A fashionable young China: man, in black garb anda “pigtail” of great length, has also been an object of attraction, and continues tobe. He professes to be a Christian, A young man had @ nerrow escape from drowning in the lake yesterday. The railroad men of ihe Jersey Shore line have held a meeting here with the association in regard to building a road from Long Branch to this place. Twenty-five thousand rs of stock from the association and teniholders will insure it. Jt is beiteved that the road will be built before next June. Mr. Bradner, a well-known Methodist, has just purchased wirty acres of land adjoining the grounds, The value of lots is constantly increasing in value, and the remarkable resources of the locality encoarage investment. The preitiest cot- tages are on the bank of the lake, where tie view 18 fine and the ocean breeze received. THE HONESTY OF CAMP MEETING people has been somewhat tested here, 1n a manner both fanny and creditable. One of the stage drivers who overheard @ man fearing he should not get patd for services rendered told him not to fear, for these camp meeting people always paid their debts, One failed to pay lis fare last year, but he had mace tt all right this year, so there was nothing to complain oi, THR DIVISION OF TIME for religious services and recreation does not give general satisfaction, both being detracted from by the other and neither fully enjoyed. If half of each day had been apportioned to devotion and the ower half to whatever pleased the people to do, it would have been a much better arrangement than the Minced-up division that has prevailed. I have heard anumber express themselves to the effect that if they leave the camp grouad with as moch religion as they brought here they should be thankful. ‘True, many professing Christians attend scarcely any of the services, but it doesn’t follow that a healthfal state depends upon @ season of intense and conseeutive cramming, ‘The recreations here—boating, fishing, bathing, flirting, love-making, clam dinners, novel reading and visiting—are certainly not incompatibie with religion. The long-faced professors here who whine over we levity of the rest and recreation seekers seem to forget that the body has needs as well as the soul The RELIGIOUS SERVICES, a8 © while, have not amounted to much, Parson InskiIp has overfowed with mis good-humored, vigorous feeling, and preached a sanctification sermon that gave general satisfaction.

Interviews with the Leading Spirits of the New Reformation in Germany. HUBER, FRIEDRICHS AND DOLLINGER. The Late Deerce and How It Affects the State of the Chureh. A GENERAL REFORMATION All Christian Communities To Be Reconciled. THE STRUGGLE WITH THE JESUITS. The Dogma of Infaliibility from the Dol- linger Standpoint. PIO NONO AND ANTONELLI CRITICISED, Munrcn, August 1, 1871, Taking advantage of a beautiful evening a few days days ago I determined, for tue beacidt of American readers in general and the HERALD in particular, to call upor the three great heads 0: the anti-nfalll- biliy movement—Protessors Dillinger, Htlber and Friedrichs, and to allow these genticmen to speak for themse:ves through the medium of the American press, and to explain their present agitation, inten- tions and hopes. Provided with’a lewer of 1atro- duction from a liberal Catholic professor of Wurz burg to Professor Hiver, 1 did not delay long in making my way to the green square plot in Turken- strasse, where the philosophical trofessor lives, It may be as well to explain here that this trio—this ieedialt, as the Gerinans call them—are not merely the heads of the movement, but the head; for, though three persons, they are in reality auimated by but one spirit, Wha‘ever document may be issued by one of these belongs to them all, Pro-essor Déiltnger Is, indeed, the venerable high priest of the three; he 14 the great planet around which the other two revolve, and from which they draw lignt and 1ife; for with out Déllluger there had been neither Hiber nor Friedrichs, Professor Voliinger has been stvied the Luther of the present reformatory movement. In appearance aud in action I would sooner compare him to Melancthon, for it ts to Dr. rricdricas, & younger map, tuat the duty of bearing the oruat of the battle ts left, He (Friedrich: is, tt I may use &@ pretty far-fetched {ilustration, the cat’s paw used to fetch the chestnuts out of the fire. He ts the worker, the mau that writes aud compiles, and takes the burden from the shoulders of the aged Délunger. Professor Huber 13 @ totally different character from the other two; he 1s a professor of phiosophy; troubles hiaself ite or nothing tn the purely ecclesiastical features of the movement; bub as a puilosopher is endeavoring to give it a direction correspending tothe demands of moderp science, ‘Yoe mectung place of the three is at Dr. Dolunger’s. HUBER’S HOUSE. Armed with my ictter of 1utrodaction I found but little Gifficulty in winning the Professor to my wishes—namely, half an nour of his time. I found the jot author of the Roman Letters,” by Quirl, nus, and the celebrated Janus work, the critte ciser of Darwin and his theury, the learned writer on soctalism, Communism and lavor, hard at work ux astudy room somewhat better turnmsned than the average common to German profe-sors. A few cases of books, an odd picture or two upon the walls, a centre table, with a confusion of books and pamphlets piled upon it, and the Professor, with hts long, dark hair, beard aud mustache, large, open forenead, and rather undersized, stooping body, were all that could be seen, But through the opem window came deligutful evening breezes and the laugh of cuidren—some of whom were the Proies- sor’s—and the busy din of Munich in tie distance. One of hus fist questions was in regard to the stats: of Jeeling in America about the new dogma. Ane sweriug this more to lis satisfaction tian my own, 1 sa: HUZER HIMSELP. “Herr Professor, knowing that you are the phi- losophical head of the Dolinger movement in Ba varia, I would ask you, If possible, to give me your views in regard to the prescut state of the move. ment here and your hopes of success r” “Basier asked than told,” repued the good-natured Professor. “I would sit down at my desk here and write you out a whole history of the movement, and What we are hoping Jor, could I spare the time. The will Ihave; but my other engagements are so numerous that { could not do tt.” “Not necessary tha’ you should subject yourself to that trouble,” J replied, “af I could prevail upon you to dictate to me the history and your opinions, I will take down your words and spare your time,” HUBER'S THSTORY. “Good,” sald he, ond vegau:—“The history im brief 1s as follows:—In September of the past year there appeared a pastoral letter from Fulda, in which the bishops subjected themselves to the dogma. Atthe same time they appear to have de termiucd upon taking strong measures against all Who should oppose the new decree, Some bishopa promulgated the dogma in the single dioceses, Im September of the past year a number of German theologians inet together in Nuremberg for the pure pose of discussing THE NEW DECREE AND THR STATE OF THE CHURCH. These were Dolinger, Friedricis, Relnkreuz, Lane genand others, On December 10, 1870, the Arch. bisnop of Munich puvlisied bis pastoral letter, mm Which he aunounced the dogma and declared that he had hitherto opposed the degima, as be had done at Rome, for reasons of expediency. Besides the demand to the clergy Munich theolo,iang were asked to submit themselves to the decree of the Counet. Dolunger and Friedri ased, The Archbishop then issued another pastoral tn which he placed ® termin for the two professors to suomit, or he should pass Judgment upon them. ‘The resuli is known to ever;body. Diiimger issued bis celebrated ‘ve. claration’ and Was excommunicated, An assem. bly of Catholic notabies was then he.d in the hall of the Maseum Club, In Munich, tn March, when AN ADDRESS TO THE GOVERNMENT was adopted, and has since been signed by 18,000 persons. In this address we demand (nat the State Shall not admit this dogma, dangerous to the State, and shall hinder its publication in the schools, Four days afterward the Archbishop issued another pas toral against the speakers at the meeuing and the signers of the address; calied the former-—espectally Dr. Huber—‘hars’ (luger) Professor Huber de manded in the Augsburyer Aligememe Zeiiung thas the Archbishop should retract this statement. But he would not, and reasserted it, He then uemanded that be should abdicate, because he had acted um faithfully and had contradicted himself, In the meantime Dr, Friederichs was excomiunicated.’? PROGRESS OF THE DOLLINGER MOVEMENT. Dr. Huber then spoke of the steady progress of the boilinger cause among the people and the greas atiendauce at the subsequent public meetings of tae “Old Catholics.” He complained of Minister Lutz's unstatesmaniike conduct, uo, on the vreake ing out of the difficulties, Wrote hits four articles im the augsburyer, in Which sharp measures agalust the bishops were advised; but up to this hour nothing has been done ¥ the government, He then spoke of the case of the late Proiessor Zenger and the extraordinary impression his burial creaied, “About UUs time,’ he continued. we demanded from the govern vent that one of the churches of Munich should be openea to us—the old Catholics— wherein our ctergy could periorm theit functions. AS yet We have no answer. The government gives no decision. It punishes single encroachments of the Jesuits, Dut nothing detiniie Is done.
