His text was Genesis | the King were undoubtedly with Hoheniohe —a fact xxii, 1—“‘And It came to pass, after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham, and he sald, Here am 1.” There is an old legend concerning Abraham, satd the Doctor, which states in eflect that a commitiee of angels watted on the Almighty and asked him, “Wnatis man that Thou visitest him!’ And God pointed triumphantly to Abraham, saying that men like him are the foundation upon which the World stands; that he had sacrificed his only son to the Lord, And men like Abraham, said ‘the Doctor, are the noblest specimens of creation. ‘Through tneir lives more than through all the mant- festations of oreation beside Is Gou glorified. If the rolling thunders and the flashing lightnings, the Sweeping tornado or the devastating fire, the azure sky and the verdant fields speak of God, it is only such men as Abrahgm who can attune their cars to hear the voice of the Lord im the thunder or the hurricane, or in the still, small voice. And hearing Him thas speaking in and through nature they are ready to exclaim, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of hosts! The Almighty once said that py those who stand near him He should be glorified.

From Abraham we shall Tearn the trials and triumphs of faith, — Whiie is true what good actions = may =e, and —tuey are, he outgrowth of religious —_ faith, nevertheless good deeds alone are not faith, aud @ manly action, however good aud noble, cannot re- sist Satan without faith. Witness the example of Job. He;was rich and benevolent, but Satan comes to God and says:—‘‘Stretch forth thine hand now, and he will curse Thee to Thy face.” God stretched forth hus band, or allowed Satan to injure Job, but did the latter curse God or deny Him? Not atall, He had faith in God that his bread should be given and water should be sure. And 14 It any wonder that he or that we cling to our religion? The ox knowetn bis owner and the ass his master's crib, and shall not men seek unto their God? No wonder that a man possessed of such isith should dispense blessings all around him, And thus alone is true faith revealed unto us. Faith 1s the mother of vir- tue, and virtue 1s victory, and victory implies and requires conflict, and he who ip the conflict with Satan and sin comes off victorious alone deserves the tatle of faithful. He alone has the solid founda- tuon when the storms beat mercilessly around him, aud then only does the strength of his foundation appear, and the world sees that his taith is butit on the k of Israel. It is notin prosperity, but in adversity, that tne triat of our faith appears to greatest ‘advantage. Abraham was sorely tricd. He (Dr. -V.) did not like the translation ‘tempted’? —‘ tried” being @ much better word. The ancicnt Rabbes say that Abraham was tried ten times in different ways, and that he always stood the test. In his fataer’s house Abraham loved God, while his father was an idolater and worshipped fire. Abraham worshipped the God who answereth by Terab worshipped an image, but Abrauam adored the true God. The former recognized mate- rialism: the latter by faith saw the Spirit that con- trolled and made the world, And because of bin | faith and worship he was exposed to the attacks | and persecutions of heathenism in bis own house. | He bad to meet its attacks also outside among the populace, and tradiuion says that he was thrown | toto a farnace of tire because he would not bow | down to Nimrod’s gods, but he came ont thence un- | Scathed. And afterward God called him to leave his country and Kinared and his father's house and | go into a strange land, But in Canaan né was | the object of ‘tion also. Still, wherever he went le.crected altars of praise and gratitude to God. And every greal_ man who has since lived on the earth has had to walk in Abraham's footsteps. But, like the diamond, the more they are cut the niore they sparkle. You ask why it is that righteous men suffer. It is only torough suffering that tue trial Of their faith appears. The diamona sparkles brightest in- tne darkness. The Lord trieth the righteous so that their sufferings are not su(ferings at all, and the man of the world is amazed mat the mun of faith can be joyful under circumstances that would overwhelm him. But the latter sees God’s hand in ail bis checkered scenes of life, and the heaviest stroke is to him but the outgoing of divine love.

The congregations which complained to the Ministry of Cultus that the new dogma was forced upon them—that is, in case of xetusal, refused the sacrament, &c.—were in- formed tuat they were in the right, in opposition to the conduct of the bishops.

The Bavarian Misistry Recegnizr the Old Cathelics—Political Resi the Ques. tion—Von Lutz and His Predecessors—Facts in Connection with the Differences Between the Old Catholic Leaders MUNICH, Oct. 15, 1871, Yesterday's session of the House of Representa- | tives vietnally decided the fate of the Catholic re- jorm movement, as far as the political side of the question is concerned. Hitherto the agitation has been keptemetly to the religious side of the ques- | lion, and the reform leaders are as much surprised | as rejoiced at the declaration of the Bavarian Min- istry, as given by Von Lutz in a two hours’ address | tothe House, Tiis declaration verifies to a great | | extent the rumor that bas been current some time | among the reform leader, tliat Lutz intended to declare war against the ulframontanes. This he has done, and the position of the Bavarian govern- ment is now pretty clearly defined, Before ana- lyzing the iong muisterial document i will be interesting to summarize the political side of the Catholic movement, tu oraer to throw light on the | whole queation { | For 1, SIDE OF THE CATHOLIC MOVEMENT: AS long ago as the spring of 169 Prince Hohen- | | lobe, then the Bavarian Minister-President, urged the necessity of the independence of the State being | matntamed against Roman assumptions at the Counci!, ana proposed to the European Cabinets to | send Ambassadors to the Council, to maintain the { rights of the secular Powers. Austria refused, and the motion fell to the ground, Hohenlohe, how- ever, counselled by Yon Lutz, at that time Minister of Justice, mvited the South German Labinets to ask the judgment of the theological ana jurtstic faculties of the uutversiues of the respective coun- tries on a namber of questions which came to dls- cussion at the Council, as, for instance, the relation of the Church to the State in case the teachings of the Syllabus and the infallibslity of the Pope were made dogmas, Hohenlohe being convinced that | here was an eminent politiwal question, since the dogmatizing of the Syllabus atiacked the fun- damental principle of the constitution, which gnar- anteed freedom of the couscience and confessional equality. At the same time these very questions } began to be discussed by the cdneated C tes of Bavaria and Gern: Tue hook of “Janus, Pope and the Council” arose, some articies on Council and the Civilta” appeared in the Avgsberger, } and the Munich magistrates reiused to place priests as school counsellors, stuce Ul ther stood under in- fluences in opposition te the common interes:, But in the meantime Hokennohe had called upon him- self the fury ot the so-called “Patriots,” or ultr montane party in the Landtay They labored tor seven Votings did not iead Lo the choice of @ Prest- dent of the Chamber the Landtag was dissolved and new elections ordered, This was October, and in | the foltowing month Dr, Déltinger issued a “roenure, addressed 10 the aretbishops and piahops, in wl a spoke very earnestly against the Papal infallt- bility, DULTINGER'S BROCRURE jound a wide hearing. In it he proved thar the dog- ma of intatbility had arisen in the Oviental Church ata very late period im consequence of a series of | flottons and falsifications; and that the general council of Hasle and Constance had acknowledged like every other Cartstian, subject to a general coun- cl. In case infailibility were made a dogma then that article of faith, which the Pope: pound to ailow no other confes-ion except the Catho- lic, and that the Pope have unrestricted power over all churches and authorities, would also be dogma. The answer of the Munich Juristic Faculty was in harmony with Dolinger’s assertions. This acuity had scientifically proved ‘that the dogmatizing of alter the relations between the State and Chureh and could become dangerous to the Bavartan constitution.
