These were the verses selected by the Rev.

ST. CHARLES DORROMEC R. O, CHURCH. of Mortal Sin Portrayed— fermon by Rev. Dr. Freel. ‘There was 4 large congregation at tue principal @ervice yesterday forenoon at the Church of St. Oharies Borromeo, Sidney place, Brookiyn, The Vext taken by Rev. Dr. Freel, the pastor, was from theG ospel of the day, “Many are cali.d, but lew are ehosen,”” The reverend genuieman, who spoke for forty minutes, said in substance, if we would be among the few that are chosen we must avoid mortal sin. The map who cowmits mortal sin hava ‘and destroys bis own soul, and paves tts way to per- aition. Could you but see mortal sin as it exists, ‘with all its enormities, deprived of ity hateful allure- ments and attractions, you would no more sin than you would take @ poisonous and loathesome reptile to your bosom, or drink from a turbid, muddy stream of poisonous watcr.

SCUIE SECOND STREET MRTHODIST CHURCH Moral Purity the Motive Power of Christian Zeal—Sermon by Key, Dr. Koche. The Rey. Dr. Roche, pastor ot the South Second street Methodist Episcopal church, preached @ ais- course yesterday moruing from two verses of the Fifty-first Psalm, ‘‘Oreate in mea clean heart, OGod! ‘Then will 1 teach transgressors Thy ways; and sin ‘Bers sal! be converted unto Tuee.” The theme ‘which he deduced from the text, as an introduction Wo a series of revival meetings, was the induence of aciean heart jn directing and crowning Christian weal. The preacher, in his exoraium, said that there Was 8 morai 49 well asa physical anatomy of tne human being. Asin the material anatomy of man ‘Whe heart was regarded as the centre and source of usc, 80 man, Contemplated in his moral aspects, ex- Bibited all his caracteristics in connection with the heart, It was out of the heart That proceeded evil thoughis; it was ont of it a8 from @ Corrupt fountain, tnat gashed the polluted stream. The Psalmist well un- derstood the cenire of moral power in the human character when he uttered the prayer of the text; Jor he knew if he would have an unsulited reputa- ton, if he would overcome the easily besettung sin, Whe would exlibit moral grandeur im his lile, 1t qvould result from tho creaulon of a new heart. If we are taken out of the horrible pit of miry clay we must be taken out by the exercise of divine power tm making the heart clean, Christianity always recognizes human depravity, aud @ clean heart was @ ning Of creation by the band of God. Lf Ne (the speaker) were to ask many of his hearers whether ‘they possessed a clean heart or not many of them would, respond in the negative, and say, “Talk about buman nature as you will, 16 ts made of poor eu.’ Men were pot commomy willing to put for the effort requisiie to ootuin parity of heart, ‘The next proposition Aiscusscd was that a gracious . t eart Was not necessarily & cican near A bh Muivht- be yery gracious mits bh SBpirations and ambitions, Might be uader the MoNuence of restramimg and sanctilying grace (for il grace that is living principle is saactifying 11 Ais hature), but 16 did not follow thal the heare Was ‘wholly sanctified, AD objection often ratsed was:—‘‘There are a great Many people who make a profession of holi gud dO not jive 1.) he preacher ans Mat objection by asking, “Yo the democrats of pail eae be sorrdptiomists ?” ‘Tere has been ut I. .

NOW JERSEY CHURCHES, ST. PETERS CHYLCH, JERSEY CITY. Sermon by Father McQuade, 8 J —The Two Classes who Cap Obtate Salvation. In St. Peters churen, Jersey Ulty, @ solemn mass was celebrated at half-past ten o'clock by Father Beaudevin. The sermon was preached by Father McQuade, who took for his text the gospel of the day, which treated o1 the parable of the marriage feast, The verse “MANY ARK CALLED BUT FEW ARE CHOSEN’? embodies the lesxon of the whole gospel. After some remarks on the Holy Commnanion, which may be hkened to the marriage feast, and the countless blessings “derived there- from by the chidren of God, the preacher snimmed up thus—Goa Almighty expressly says that He wishes for the salvation of all, and that all should arrive at @ knowledge of the truth, He be- stews upon all the graces which, if corresponded with, will lead them to that happy eud for which they were created. ‘ There are two classes only who can obtain cternal falvation, First, thore who have always preserved their innocence; and second, those who REGAIN THEIR LOST INNOCENOR by true repentance. How few there are who can say that ther souls are aot stained with tie guilt of sin—that they bave not employed aoy UNJUST MMBANS FOR ACQUIRING WRALTH— that they have tried to avoid the contagion of bad exumple—tiat they have not preferred tue maxtins of the world to the commaudments of Jesus Christ? When you come Wo examine yourselves in confession what gulit do you not lind In yeur own iearts! Do you not find that instead of deuymg yourselves you prauty yourselves 10 ail worldly desires—that you ave pandered to every affection which contributes to your graiiiicatiuny Take the case of the drunk- ar’, who deprives hiimseii of tno use of reason by arinking to excess, IJ have Knowu many drunkards but very few have I ever known to be truly an thoroughly retormed, How lew there are who, hav- ing fallea into sin, Make every efort to extricate themseives from it! How Jew there are who make every eilort to resist lemptation! Hence it is tuat wien our Saviour saw such GREAT MULTITUDES RUSIUNG INTO THE ABYSS that He exclaimed:—*Oh, how broad 1s the way and Wide is tae gate that leads to perdition and how aiany there are Who travel thereto!” The number Of persons Why are truy converted from their evil Ways 1s very small tudeed, When we consider this, And at the same time how few there are who have preserved their baptismal mnocence and what a Vast multitude M8 engaged in tho commission of crime every day without any ellort at repeatance, We need not be surprised at ‘THE THRRISLE WICKEDNESS OF THE WORLD. If we desire to be numbered amung those who are to be saved let us do penance for our sins, ant do it withoat delay, for i! we postpone i we wy MAY NOT HAVE TIME TO REPENT. Many a person who went to bed in the enjoy ment of healin was found dead in the morning. And you may rest assured that before you can be sccounled worthy to be numbered among those who can obiain salvation it Is absolutely necessary that you do penance, that you deny yourselves, in hort, that you lead penitential lives, s0 that when you come to appear before God on the great day of uc- count He may have mercy on [pee and may receive you into the marriage feast which He has prepared for His eiecu SERVICES IN WASHINGTON. Dr. Newman at the Metropolitan Methodist Episcopal Charch on a Superintending Providence Qver All—Presidemt Grant in His Few. WASHINGTON, Oct, 8, 1871. A large andience filled tne Me.ropolitan Methoaist Episcopal church to-day. President Grant was in his accustomed seat, with Miss Nellie, There was an unusual quiet through the house, and many took comfort from Dr. Newman’s sermon on the words found in St. Matthew x., 3—‘“Ye ure of more value than many sparrows."’ After a sulla le preface Dr. Newman proceeded to say:— The great lesson taught by the Saviour in these beautiful words is that there 1s A SUPERINTENDING PROVIDENCE over all human affairs. Some traths are as old a3 time. Belief in the being and existence of the supreme and ali wise God 18 cocxtensive with the race, Faith in the future state runs paraliel with all ages. Trustin a divine snperintending Provi- dence 1s expressed in the nistory of ail nations, Turning to the Greek and Roman classics, it 18 found that the greatest men among those great nat:ous avowed a belie! in a superintending Provi- dence. Plato taught that all things are disposed by @ hignor being, who governs for the safety and advantage of the whole. Horace said ‘the Kings of the earth exercise authority over their own subjects, bat Jehovah rules over kings themselves.” Cicero said to the Roman Senators, “We have not conquered Spain by our power, nor subdued the Gauls by our strength, nor the Carthagenians by our policy, but because there is an infinite.and su- perintending vrovidence,” In harmony with this is the testimony of the noble men ol Scripture, No subject is so interwoven with the life of man as this, In distress he implores a delivering Providence, im perplexity guiding one, and in pros- perity he bicsses a smiling Providence. Providence is that care which God exercises over all His works, Snimate or inanimate, It extends over matter and mind. Those who assert that the destructive opera- tions of nature occur im obdeience to fixed law imply that they have no respect to man’s moral nature, to ihe weal or woe of human kind. If humanity ts in the path it must be destroyed, and the question arises, Huw can He who 1s all loveand beneficence have arranged sach ® constitution of nature? tle who rejects Proviience on the grouna Of the fixedness of law 15 compelied vo select one horn or other of the dilemma; but we are bound to belleve In secondary causes. THE GREAT DOCTRINE OP PROVIDENCR may be explained in one or two ways. At the timo of creation God m y have timed the calamities that should occur with rejerence to man’s moral con- alton, but it Ig more reasonable to suppose that Uiexe things occur in harmony with fixed laws, but the execution of these laws 13 always the work of a supervising providence, Men boast of natural pro- cesses, and reler to these as something imtelligen but it remains to proved that mat is invested with intelligence, It 18 & safe astexiion that these natural processes are simply the exercise of the wer of an infinite God. It may be objected that this is hard to under- Stang. ire, could man comprehend the manner in which God works, man would hupeelf be au in- fintie veing, God works providentally in nature, It was @ question or HOW THE WIND SHOULD BLOW; whether William the Protestart or James the Catho- he should rule England, [t was again a question Whetuer the wind should blow or not, whether tie invincible Armada should conquer Bagland, and Queen Elizabeth was #0 struck with the provl- Oential wind that she inseribed on a medal, “Toe Lord breathed and the enemy was dis- persed.” It was once said that Providence is Oo the side of the greatest number of guus, and this theory permeates society; pat the nistory of the World snows that God has always been with the muuority when tho mnority was right, Providence works In the reaims of mind with more limuations, ‘There 1g much leit W man’s will and responsibility but God reserves to himself the right of modilying all haan action end of making crime consist in the intention and of modifying the results or an without diminishing the guilt of the criminal works upon mind vy suggestions.

THE “OLD CATHOLIC” CONGRESS. Tho Delegates from tha Old Catholic Societies of Germany, Austria and Switzerland in 8es- sion at Munich—The First Day's Ses- sion—Where the Mecting Was Held and Who Was Present-A Union of Churches the Power of the Papacy. [Munich (Sept, 22) correspondence of the London standard.) To-morrow afternoon is a meeting of the Congress epen to all comers, but that baturally must have more of a local character. The mectings of to-day consisted of the Congress as now constitnted—tnat 1a, of the Munich coinmittee, of the delegates sent from the diferent Old Catholic societies in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and of a certain number of foreign members whose attendance ts authorized by the committee, Among these latter are Pere Hyactnthe, Professor Ossinini, of St. Petersbarg, the Spanish agent, Signor Juan «’Aladro, and others, The Munich coumittee has been busy for some days preparing @ programme which should serve to define the sphere and objects of the movement, ‘This morning the committee presented tts proposed scheme, which is to serve at once for a confession of faith and a declaration of policy. The hall in which the Assembly met was filled to overflowing. The hour fixed for the meeting was nine o'clock, but with the early babits of this people every seat was taken long before this hour arrived. ‘The building where the Congress meets 1s the Museum, in the Promeaaden Gasse, not sar from the Meximilian Platz. The naitof meeting consists of avery haudsome room, With a raised dais at one eud and a raised row of seats allround the wail, CHOICE OF A CHAIRMAN, The first question Was the chotce of @ prestdont, or Chairinen, a8 we would call hint, and an excelleut one was found in che famous Frederich Von Schulte, Professor of Canon Law at Prague, He bas, next to Dr, oliinger, taken the most conspicuous place in the pamphiet war of the last year against the Vatican, As @ jurist ne has navuratly deait with the question more in reterence to What the Germans call the ulterior character of the movement—that is, the political civil character Of 1t—than in immediate reference to the members of the Roman Catholic confession, 1 was asionished to see the jamous Pro- Jessor—a more unprofessorial-looking man have I ever seen, Notwiihstan ding ail his minute criti cism on the Vatican council, drawn trom ancient writers on the canon law, 118 appearance is inuch more military than ecclesiastical. Huif polltictan, ball soluier in aspect, his great toreiead and strong- ly marked, resolute brows give him @ ceriain resem- Diance to Bismarck. THR SItrina lasted from nine In the morning unui eight ta the evening, wiih the interruption of @ two hour's ad- journment, from hall-past one to half-past vhree, ine hours altogether, and during this time the pro- gramme was discussed, and two important proposl- tions concerning the Luture action of Ali-Katholiken considered, THE PROGRAMME conatats of seven sections, ‘the first section explains the meaning of the term Old Catholic, and justilies lis adoption, ‘In obedience to tae dictates of rell- gious duty,” says the programme, “we matutain the Old Catholic creed as it ts attested in Scripture aud tradition, as well asin the oid Catholic wor ship. We consider ourselves accordingly as mem- bers of the Catholic Church, and will not submit to be excluded {from this Church, nor from the mghts winch in Church aud State accrue to us as members of the Church.” ‘the excom- Munications and censures lauucned agaist them or threatened, they dely and declare their resolution to 1emalo undistarped in their participation in Chureh functions, Toen comes a paragraph reject- ing ali the dogmas introduced during the Pontiflcate of Pius especialiy that of tls intallbility, This paragraph, as Schul:e pomled out, included a rejec- tion of tie Immaculate Coucep ton, as weil as of the docirines contained in the Syliabus, The whole sec- tion was adopted with uuunimily, and ulimose with- out discussion, BO Whurougily did it meet te yiews 1: the Assembly. THR BUSINESS OF THR MBRTU really began with the second section. Maying ex- plained their position as old Uatuoucs the cou- “We maintain the old oon- ch, We repudiate every attemps to deprive bishops of the immediate and inde endent government of the individual churches, '¢ repudiaie the doctrine contained in the Vatican decrees that the Pope is tie only God-appoiuted possessor of Church authority and power as in direct contradiction with the canon of the Councit of ‘Trent according to Wiich tie God-appointed hierarchy consi-ts Of bishops, privsis aud deavous, We ac- knowlede THE PRIMACY OF TH BISHOP OF ROME as it was ackuowiedged on Scriptural authority in the old undivided Caristian Caarch by the Fathers and the Couucils,” ‘We deciare,’’ the aocauinent proceeds, in another paragraph of the same section, “that articles of belief can onty be defined in cons nance with Holy Scripture and the oid tradition of the Church, ag it ix iid down in the Tecognised Fachers and Councils, not by the declarations of the Pope tor the time being, and the express or implied consent of bishops bound by oath to unlimited obe- dience to the Pope.” This section provoked @ loug discussion. id ‘The first paragraph Herr Angon rded ing too much recognition of thé Papal author: not going far enough, ia fact, ia hostilty to Kom from the cis- pee mu, Who has been iong distinguished as @ supporter of these anti-Papal views known by the terin Josephinisinus, those doctrines of State con- trol over Church afiairs, which owed their orixin to the stub of the brave-hearted bui uniortunate Joseph Ii, with Rome, towarus the close of the Jast century. Farly during the summer a programme ‘was circulated by the Vienaa press as that of Anton and his congregation, and presumably that whtcn the old Vatholics intend t adopt. This pro. gramme included not only the abolition of the celibacy of the clergy, but algo that of auricular confession, and otner changes of @ causuc character for which certainly tne Catholic congregations of Bavaria are not prepared. At Heidelberg Jt was said that this pro- gramme was openly supported vy Herr Anton and voied aliogether premature by the Aasembly, or, ratuer, beside the question of vindicating the liberty of the Church against the Vatican decrees. At the opentng of the mecting to-day Von Schulte an- nounced that these reports were totally without foundation—not only was the programme not die- cussed at Heidelberg, but it never was communica- ted vo Dr. Anton untii ke saw it in tne papers. How- ever, Dr. Anton, whether he Is prep: to abolish celibacy and the auricular confession, is very reso- lute in his wer on » and wished for sull repudiation, stronger expressions of demand- ing them in the name of the principles of nis y in Aurtria. Dr. Xoinkens, on behalf of the committee, explained that the resolution only recognised @ primacy such a8 appeared to exist in the early ages of the Church, no sovereignty, anil as to Josephiiniamus, declined to bind the old Catio- lics to adopt it, which, like the Papacy liself, was au emanation of modern date. The meeting, ou a division, stood by the committee by a large ma- hf A more important disvissiod arose on the turd section:— ‘ THE UNION OF CHURCHES, i in co-operation with tiwologteal acience, we struggle for ® reformin the Church, which in the apirivof” the old Churoh aball remove its modern defects and abuses, and in particn- Jar shall satisfy the just wishes of the Cathulio people to exercise a reglar participation fn chureh manugemont We declare that the Church of Utrecht fe unjustly ré- rouched with Jansenism, and that between us and that Duureh no difference of ductrine exists, We Jook forward to @ unton with thé Gresk and Ruse Church, the separation of which has ariseu from insuiioient Feasous, and is not grounded on any Wreconcilavie uluer- ee ““pareato the desired reforms and the path of science and progressive Christian eulsure. we look forward to Feanion with the other Christian confeart ng eapec the Protestant Chureles and te Episcopal Cburche land and America, The first paragraph of this section occasioned some animaicd discussion as to the exact wording oft ‘The whole section was of especial iujportance as beng a declaration 6f the old Catholics which Indicated a positive policy for future application. The first paragraph declared the one constructive principe to which Dr. Doiiunger has pledged him- self hitherto, the assertion of the right of the laity to participate in Charen affairs, It was proposed to Mako Us still More express, the speakers relerring to the recent assembly of Catholic societies ag Mainz. These iaymen participated m Church aitairs, dis- cussing all sorts Of questions under the presidency of the vishop; but yet such @ participation was hardly what the old Catholics wanted. The com- mitted defended themsecives by appealing to the words, ‘the spirit of the oid Charen,” wiich, the contended, governed the whole sentence, and wit @ sligit modiication thelr proposition was adopted, DR. DOLLINGER'S VIEWS. On the discussion of the second paragraph coming on Dr, Dillinger Was Called Oa to speak, and it was a remarkable evidence of the general character of the assembly that Wien he aruso very lew seemed to recognize nim. No one if more universally known in manicn; but these earnest six himdred were pot from Munich, but from ail paris of Ger- and from foreign countries, and were anxtous to have @ good look «at the famous man whom they came to support. ‘Tne Jabors of the last few weeks have toll upou him, and he hardly looks as fi as when he returned from ils revreat at Starenderger see, His speech wasashort and pithy explanation of the reason why a special paragraph haa been alloted to THE CHUCK OF UTRECHT, and hod direct bearing on te dealing of the Papacy with the Catholic congregations in bagiand. ‘Tois sinall Catholic congregation in Holland claimed the rig! of a Uhurch to have bishops of its owa, &¢., butYae Kowan Power maintained that it was only a mission church—that 1s, 4 church to be ruled by agents sent from Rome, nov by a merarchy clothed With episcopal rights, ‘the Duron congregati would not yield, aud the Curia charged thy with Jansenism, ‘hia question of the power of Rome to consiver Boaivered congregations entirely dependent on her was exactly the question which ith of Ainge & s = afecied Enylish Roman Catholics, Up to 1362 the English congregations of this communion were goy- erned by vieara apostolic. not by visirops, In 1852 it Was supposed that ihe Baglish epimcopacy, Rome undersiands it, bad been restored vy the Won Of that power, Une Of the facie Wwhivk Mr. Ffonikes brought ont im his — controversies wih Arebbishop Manning, before nls re. turn to the Church of | England, was that this creation of bisnops tn Eng!and waa only made with ceriain reservatious, waich lett thems little better than vicars apostolic.

ART SALES. Considerabie activity prevails in art circles, and from the eviternces we everywhere mect in the stu- aios and art gaileries we confidently expect the most brillant art seagon ever witnessed in Amer- ica, The collectors are hurrying back from Kurope eager to expose the treasures they have gathered to the view of the Amertcan public. So great is their haste to forestall each other that they are unwilling to wait for the approach of the regular season, but intend to take the public by atorin Just as soon as the necessary arrangements can be completed. This year’s public salea will be begun at THE SOMERVILLE GALLERY, on the 10th and 11th of October, when the large vol- lection of a private connoisseur will be offered. The works are about two hundred in number, and in. clade many paintings of considerable merit, We regret, however, the absence of examples of tne highest art, and would again urge upon collectors, 1n the interest of art and jin their own, to bilng us fewer works anid of A HIGHER CHARACTER, While good judgment bas been displayed in the selection of Works among the secondary artists, wo do not meet one example by the recognized masters of any of the European schools, Of course the fanit, toa great extent, lies with the purchasers, who prefer to buy @ quantity of in- ferior work to paying for the best art, It 18 astonishing how a _ peopic so remarkable as tne Americans for their business talents do not perceive that in buying inferior art they are slinply wastiug their money and exhibiting bad taste, A really good picture will become more valuable with ume, while tne inferior works daliy LOSE IN VALUB.

The giriis well drawa, and her pose is easy and natural, the color is boldly lard on and weil har- monwed.
