The sacred Scriptures are either the ‘Word of God” or they are not, If they are literally the ‘Word of God, as is abundantly manj/est from their containing a connected spiritua@ sense within the literal, as the soul of man is within his body, it fol- Jows that the writers were little, If anything, more than amanuenses. As the various revelations ‘Were addressed, in the jeter especially, to the people at the age when they were written, in order to be understood by them the external clothing of Goa’s Word was taken from the words and idvas in the minds of the writers, In order that ‘the truth might be accommodated to the then state @f men. At the time when the various books of the Bible were written men were, in apparent truths, to @ great extent on the scientific plain: the earth was she centre of the physical universe; so the Word of God, to ve in harmony with His works, and capable of being comprehended, and of benefting men at the age when it was written, must contain apparent as well as reai truths. It appears tothe ignorant, evil man, When the legitimate consequences of his evil acts are visited upon him, that God ts angry with bim, When the real truth 1s that God is love— pure, unchangeable love, The earth turaa from the gun aud it is dark, or it is winter; mano turns trom the Lotd and his neighbor and loves lumseil supremely, and loves to ruie over his feliow men, and brings the darkness of nignt aud coldness of winter into m3 own soul, It per- haps appeared to St. Luke, in the passage quoted by pusttaious,”* that he was writing from Dis own intelligence, but whether it 80 appeared to him or not the words used are manifestly selected because they were exactly adapted to convey spiritual ‘deas. For the same reason, and also for the sake of presenting truih and goodness in different as- tag the four Gospels differ froin each other, and 8 difference extends even to the genealogy of our Lord. It wil trouble “Cathoucus” a great deal more, I fancy, to reconcile St. Luke's language ‘with the limited form of inspiration which be claus ‘than it will me to sow that even the very words he Qsed Were chosen by ihe Lord because they were the Very best to convey the needed spiritual instruction. Ali the works of God are living, lo the most minuce particular. Ifin any part of a man, an animal or a Vegetabie there 18 no life {tis dead, and crambies back and ts receptive of a lower order of life, So im the revelations made by the Lord through Sweden- borg, we ure avle to see cleariy aud rationally (hat God’s Word is living in every word and syllabie, and that there is @ spiritual sense throughout which ‘4 always in harmouy witn itself and our highest reason, however appareatiy coutradictory in the fetter, In the lignt Sonim from the spiritual sense through the setier of the sacred Scriptures, as Unfolded in the writings of Swedenoorg, the scepuic is disarmen, and contending secis are gradu- an Moaitying their views, and Will yet see eye lo eye the 3 Cat essentials of Christianity, for the second — of the Lord is with power and great glory. tans, and rapidly increasing numober of onr vest shinkers and writers, and of we clergy and laity of ‘he different churches, in this country aod Zurope, | | are reading the writings of Swedenborg, and pro- mulgating to & greater or less extent the views contained, 1 have Just been reading @ book, by a clergyman of the Vaurch of England, chapter of which could by anv possi- been written by a man who had not jwedenborg’s writings, although the latter's ame 18 not mentioned. ‘The Lord promised to be with His Church all the days until the of the age, or of that dispensa- ton, and then to appear in the clouds of heaven at an unexpected hour. When, in the course of the centuries which followed His frst coming, the love of , of money and of ruling over others even in spiritual things, thus interfering with the right of every man to prove all things and to hold fast that which 1s good on the one hand, and the exaltation of faltn above churity on the other, had made the Word of Goa of hess effect thau the traditions and doctrines of men, until the simple, plain precepts of the rimittve Church had been perverted, then tnat jom and genuine truth might be restored to men. He delayed not his coming in the clouds of heaven, or. in other words, 1n the literal sense of the sacred Scriptures, revealing the spirit and life therein contained, “If every intelligent reader can intellectually comprenend the sacred Scriptures, why 80 digerent and contradicting interpretations claims ‘*vatholicus.” Simply because, with the exception of Sweden- borg, the various commentators, even tne “great many ”” ex. est intellects,” have had no law of in- verpretation, or key, if you prefer to guide them; has been speculation—all a9 1L Was in astronomy, physiology and chemistry, before the discoveries of science had demonstrated ‘the true laws pertaining thereto, Now the school boy can understand tuat the sun is the centre of our solar system instead of the earth ; he has no necd of miracles to convince him, for the intellectual per- oo of genuine truth 18 superior to the evidence miracles, In the book which closes the sacred volume, that Wonderful revelation of the end of the first Onris- Man dispensation and the descent of the New Jeru- salem from God out of heaven, we read tnat the Lion of the tribe of Judas, the,lamb alone, was found ‘worthy to open the book and to loose the seven seals ‘hereof. 1t was as impossible (or any man to discover assertions seem to me WM he not ex- readers that are Interested in the question? Where 4s the Catholic Church? % ing the Kev. John Anketsell’s (another of your correspondents) “protest in behalf of those High Chareamen who would pee any imputauion of aliance with “infalitbie’ ime as the greatest in- suit which could be offered to them,” let me add the remark that such men little know how danger- ous the soilis on which they stand. Pius 1X., in Speaking of this class of Puseyites, graphically com- pares them to church, bells, wich, though remain- | tpg themselves outside the Church, call numberless Worshippers into it, ‘There is a certain natural logic in the human mind that cannot be arrested at will 1n 1tg course, has to decide in matters of faitn, @ principle set ; fortn by Luther, Calvin and others, has led to abso- jute negation, or Protestantism in the wiaest accep- tation of the word, and the principle of the supreme | authority of tne Church over the consciences of men, | @ principle adopted by Ritualistic Procvestants, must | lead at the end toan “infaluble” church. M. GREB. Consecrated Wine in Trinity Church. To THe Epiror oF THz HeRaLp:— Knowing that you always strive to sustain the truth and correct misstatements I take occasion 1 | ing his farewell sermon to his congregation, said he Would rather see @ poor, ignorant woman worship & | into Trinity church vestry and see a bottle lavelled | “Consecrated Wine.” In contradiction of this I would | Say that I have been frequently present at the cele~ bration of the eucharistic service at Trinity, and have always marked that one and ail of the ceie- brating clergy consumed the remaining consecrated elemeats, with due reverence, belore leaving the chancel, strictly adnering to the rubric of the Prayer Book. The wine referred to by the Key. Dr. Bradley Was wine set apart for use at Communion, but was Not yet consecrated. In conclusion I would say that in no parish are they so. exact in this respect as in | the spiritual sense of the sacred Scriptures, and the law oF correnpenloaon in accordance with which the Word of God was written, and, of course, by which alone i¢ can be correctly interpreted, as it Would bave veen fur Him to create @ world. Swe- denborg claims to have been simply @ servant of our Lord Jesus Obrist, and he assures us that he received nothing of the spiritual sense of she Word Srcepang, from the Lord alone while reading the Word; not even from spirits or angela was he per- mitted to receive . 1, for the latter has been organized and kept al by it. Water quenches natural thirst and purities the body; it is from the lowest, or mineral Kingdom; it t erefore corresponds to trath on the natural plain of life, lis use in baptism de- notes that man is to be regenerated, er spiritually Cleansed from mis false views and evils by the means of trath applied to the acts of his daily life. Wine is from the higher, or vegetable kingdom. I$ 18 from the fruit of the vine, and corresponds to Spiritual truth. 1b qauenches navural thirst, as spirit- ual truths satisfy spiritual thirst, or a desire for truth, Bread nourishes the natural body, giving it substance and strength; it therefore corresponds to Jove, which nourisnes the soul or spiritual body. God is love, and love is the very lifeuf man. ‘The flesh of the Lord ts divine good or divine love, to which natural bread corresponds, and His blood 18 the divine truth, to which wine corresponds in the holy supper. And when we partake of the latter we should not fora moment think of the natural flesh and blood of the Lord. We spiritually eat when We meditate upon and love His goodness, and earnestly desire to have such goodness in our own minds; and we spiribaally drink when we meditate upon the instruction which He gave, and when we endeavor to receive it into our understandings, 80 that We may think and live or act according to It, How true it is that, except we eat the flesh of the Son of Man or receive into our hearts His love and drink His blood, or receive into our understandings His truth, we nave no life in us. Catholicus should rememoer that “the lever Killeth, the spirit giveth lie,” if he would not drive intelligent men into scepticism. E The Geoealogy of the Saviour. To THE EpIToR OF THE HERALD:— Will you kindly afford me a place in your Sunday columns while 1 write tn a few words anent a sub- ject that has been a ‘bone of contention’’ with some, viz:—The pedigrees of our Saviour, as given by the Evangelists, Matthew and Luke. These ac- counts differ. Now there 1s such great illumination of truth around the lite of Jesus, as contained im these and the other Gospels, as indeed also in the whole Bible, that without any theory of reconcilia- tion between these stateinents I could very well set my sceptical surmises to sleep as with an opiate; bat having studied the matter somewhat I fully accept them both from enlightened reason. At will be universally admitted that there could be two records made of the genealogy of every one— u 1s, two and distinct descenis of the individual meL—one ror his father, the other from his mother, Now in the case of Jesus, the Holy Scriptures snould aive three—that of those who stood in the position ot hig earthly parents, the tbird his geaealogy as the uncreated Son of God. Do the Evangelists do this? The first chapter of the gospel according to Jobn, the veloved discipie, whose louse became the home of his widowed and aftlicted mocher, tully sets forth this last and most important one. With regard to the record by Luke, I would re- mark that anclently the woman’s pbame never appeared in @ table of genealogy. The name of the next male was immediately aMxed Wherever the descent the mother was 0 traced, her father standing tn the relation of the immediate progenitor. In my opinion the paren- thetical clause tn the commencement of Luke's nar- ralive would be (by reputation the son of Joseph) and then, not that he was the sou of Heli, vut ‘of | Heli,” “son of” being somewhat understood and in- troduced by the translation, as evidenced by the italics in which the plrase is prinied. itis common in the present day, 1 may notice likewise, for us to adopt a custom so natural as to call @ more remote progenitor alather, and, vice versa, the distant progeny the sons. fhus we would generally be disposed to give quite a dinerent com- plexion to favor the point at issue, however, be- Cause we are familjar with the modeo! phraseology. Nevertheless so it 18. Another istance which shows how forcibly the patriarch could siip over a generation in giving one’s family descent 13 afforded vy Avrabam, who calied Sarab bis “sister” on two different occasions, Abraham, according to Josephus, married his elder brother’s daughter—ot course at a period before the revelation Which made such marriages incestuous. She was the daughter of nis father, then, one gen- eration removed, or his father's ro ee we would say; and in the lignt of that relation, as placed by omitting one, his sister, Many other in- stances might be quoted irom sacred history, no Jess facts than the veriest occurrence of our every- day experience, that would sapport ina way my hypothesis. A. PF, IRVING, Mr. Bradley’s Secession and an Infallible Church, To THE Epitor oF THE HERALD:— Mr. Bradley’s secession from the Protestant Epls- copal to the Roman Catholic Church has called forth some curious communications from ritualistic Episcopalians, which were pubiished in your last Sunday’s edition, 1 am personally little interested in Mr. Bradley’s “new departure,’’ and have not read the delence of his course which he ts said to have given to the public; but one of your cor- responder “Cathoiicus’—informs us that Mr, Bradley “assumes the American Church to be in a state of schism,” aud he adas:—“The only schis- mauic body tn this community 18 a missionary boay known as the Roman Catholic Church, inasmuch ,as it is the Only reguiarly organized body of bisnops, priests and deacons which refuses obe- dience to the American branch of the Catholic Church, of which Bishop Potter is at this point the apostolic head and representative.” The view that there is no Catholicity out of the Roman ovedience, and that the existence of any natioual church is dependent upon the very beck or nod of the Bishop of ola Rome, 1s one of those arrogant assumptions for which Kome is famous, but aguinst which the existence of the Greek, Russian, English and American churches has peen for ceuturiesa living protest. Without entering tnto a controversy with “Oatho- leus” about the supremacy of the popss, I must confess that I am at a joss to understand what he @nd others mean by national Cathoitc churches— that is to say, Catholic communities that vary from | each otver, not only in ouiward forms, oot in aracles of faith, according to the countries where they are practise There evidently is contradic tion in the terms. What 18 national cannot be catholic or universal, “rhe leaders of the great re- gious movement in the sixteenth century were aware of this fact, and the name they took at the Diet of Spire 1s really the only one that can be ap- pied indiscriminately to all Christian denomina- tions which are in opposition to Rome—they are all Protestant, but none ts Catholic, And let no une teil me that these are della verdo- rum; our ritualistic brethren claim the name of Catbolics, because they know that in the Nicenean aa well as in the creed Of the Aposties the Church of Christ {s calied Ca‘holica Ecclesia; and your corre: #pondent logically concludes that “the charge of scnism, If true, would be ia itself sufficient to justily Dr. Bradley's secession (fom the Protestant Episco- a) Church. ‘ ‘The assertion that the Roman Catholic Church is in schism In America because she refuses ovedience w the Provestant Episcopal Bishop of New York 1s too absurd to need refutation, But ‘Catholicus” a(irms further that she is the only senismatic body in this country. Does he mean to say that the fo. lowers of the 80-cailed Orthodox Greek aud Russian | she America acknowledge Bishup Potter as hurcnes 1 ‘ n Lhe existence their primate? And if not, how cat of these churches prove the Roman O bein sohism ap this country?

Corruptio optimi pessima, Mrs. Badeauw’s Account of Thomas Paine. To Tae Eprror or THR HBRALD:— Your reporter who interviewed Mrs, Badeau very sensibly remarks that those who call themselves the Gisciples of Thomas Paie have been tn the habit of eulogizing a man concerning whom they really he taught, and with whom he resided for a muc! longer time than with the mother of Mrs, Badeau. The “Mrs, Barnwell’? whom the old lady mentions as “a sensible woman,” and not deserv- to be an ovject of scandal, was @ Madame Bonville, the wife of a French printer, whom Paine estranged from her husband and brought her with him to this country. They had a son (Thomas Paine, Jr.), who was sald greatly to resemble bis father tn appearance and disposition. Paine’s lawful wife, who appears to have been a re- spectable and examplary woman, was deserted by him when he left England. ‘That he never owed anybody anything might possibly have been true in New Rochelle, but, from contemporary evidence, It was very far {rom being the case in New York, would make no allusion to this if tt were not a well known fact that, for his writings in behalt of the Revolutionary cause, Paine was endowed by Oon- gress with @ competence suflieient to Keep him all his life in comiort and honesty. Mrs. jeau’s statement that Paine always made his supper of bread and milk 18 corroborated by the evidence of a lady with whom he boarded while in New York. This last mentioned lady adds thas, alter eating a8 much as he wanted, he was ac- customed to throw the remainder of his bread and milk into the fire, and, on her asking the rea- son of this, he replied that he was determined to have the full worth of what he paid for his boara. lt is generally supposed that, setting aside his re- ligious opinions, drunkeoness was Paine’s most repulsive peculiarity. ‘Annodgh certainly an intem:- perate drinker, he was not so continually intoxt- cated as some persons appear to tmawine ; and, strong as the statement may appear, the facts will fully bear us out in Leake that intemperance was one of the most respectable, and the reast disgust- ing, of this man’s peculiar nabits. He had tratts of | filtniness which, to cal “brutish,’? would be a libel on the lower orders of the animal creation ; snd nothing would be easier than to prove this, if ordi- nary delicacy and reflaement would alow us the use Of any language that might convey the fatutest idea of such pecultarities. The secret or open ad- mirers of Paine may notrelish these statements, but it appears to me that, for the sake Of posterity, we should do our best to preserve the integrity and vrutbiulness of hisvory. “Making the Best of Both Worlds.” The London (Engiand) Church Times copies the | following bona Jide advertisement from a Kent paper:—“Notioe—In consequence of —— the prac- tical teetotal bootmaker of ——, being ill In conse- quence of his having caught a severe cold through attending divine service on that cold damp night, New Year's Eve, in the large room connected with Ebenezer chapel, ——, he therefore begs that all tue Christian ministers who are personally acquainted with him will offer up prayers to Almighty God Tor his safe recovery to ieeecd health at the many cburches and Christian Dissenting chapels in many large towns that he has much frequented i his younger days, as hundreds of poor m —— and the surrounding villages are waiting for him to supply them with more cheap strong boots and shoes from his establishment ——, which has been established tor more than three years.” Palestine and Syria. A lecture in French on “Palestine ana Syria,’’ by the Rev. Pere Mount, 8. J., will pe deliverea at the Associalion Hall, on the evening of | February 10, for the benefit of the French missions established in the East, A subject so full of interest to all Christians will give ample scope to the eloquent gentleman to treat upon the rise of Christianity and its decline in the very cradle of its birth. Everything connectea with the Holy Land 16 so full of the charm of mys- tery, and there dwells such a halo of religious asso- ciation in every part—a land where God commune’ with His people—that we may look tor- ward to a briliiant.and numerous attendance at the | forthcoming lecture. Both the present and the future of the Holy Land wiil be portrayed in a man- ner to interest and instruct. ‘Tne lecture will oe delivered under the auspices of De la Forest, the Consul General of France, and @ committee of dis- tluguished gentiemen.

The communicants in the churches where she has oMiciated, as far as | can be ascertained, have become enthusiastic over | her discourses, and rival each other in paying her | attentions and approving the course of their pas:ors mm opening their churches to her ministrations, She has oiciated three weeks in Dr. Meredith’s church, three nights at Mr. Pentecost’s Baptist church, and at Dr. Cuyler’s and Dr, Budington’s, The appearance of this lady in Dr, Cuyler’s church, however, has raised grave doubts in the miuds of some of the Presbyterian Worshippers as to the propriety of permitting a woman to act as & teacher of the Word, and to settie the point a meet- ing of the Presbytery has been culled to pass upon the matter. With a view of getting information on the subjec HERALD reporter yesterday visited Drs. Cuyler and Budington and Miss Smuey at their residences, From Dr, Cuyler'it was ascertained that the Mode- Tator of the Presbytery, Rev. Mr. Green, has called the Presbytery together at the Second Presbyterian church, on Monday, at ten, to decide “what action, inould be taken with reference to the by Sarah F.

Doctor, buc rather to establish @ precedent in the case of female preachers and to properly define the status of the Church in a case of this kind, The Presbytery 1s composed of all the Presbylerign ministers of the city and one lay dele- gate from éach church. Dr. Cuyler speaks of Miss Lied ag a woman of remarkavie Christian graces aod ability, whose preaching in Xngland, Ireland and Scotland won her the devotion of the best Minds of the pulpit, and gave her admission to churches of the Established Church o/ Scotland, a8 Well as other denominauvions, Her work of love io preaching to the poor and outcasts of society in London won her the confidence and cordial co-operation of John Bright and Spurgeon. He reports that her ministrations in Brooklyn have attracted a great deal of attention, andeven Mr, Beecher, he understands, has become so interested that Le intends to invite her to his pulpit. Dr. Ouy- Jer, who bas opposed the woman snuifrage agi- tation, feels that there is nothing in the Word of to prevent @ woman consecrating herseif to such 8 work, and seems quite confident that the | Presbytery will go construe 1t, although the question becomes more complicated #3 the book of cnurch government is silent on the subject, and the Presby- very must decide how fara woman can be recog- nized as @ teacher, and woman’s rights are in no Way involved in the diacussion of the question.

ART AND RELIGION. Interesting Ceremony at St. Mary’s Cacholie Church, It has ever been one of the greatest glories of the Roman Chareh that she has been in all times the patroness and encourager of art. Under the influ. ence of the grand teachings of Christianity the human mind learned to sympathize witn the noblest emotions of which men are capable. From sympar | thy sprang the desire to give form to the concep- tions of grandeur or beauty to which the convempla- tion of the mysteries of religion gave birth, and noble men with noble aims sought to express, though in a weak and ineffectual way, the love and reverence and awe with which the goodness and majesty of Not the mere inquiry after and acknowledgment | goq inspired them. Art, which had fallen ‘with of them, but the casting of truth in the mould of | Greek republics, was lifted up and endowed with Justice and love, the incarnation of life in a modest | g new life and a holier purpose than had, ever ant walk and tender communtun with God—the moral | mated it even in its grandest fights by the aspiration, the moral seed and the consummation of INFLUENCE OF A PURE RELIGION. the good—that 1s what God requires of men. Thus the ancient teachers taught that God was not'a mere object of inquiry, but an ideal of uncom- Promising justice and truth. JUSTICE 18 THM FIRST REQUIREMENT. In answering the inquiry, ‘‘What is justice?’ the Doctor said it was conformity to the laws of recti- tude in all our dealings with men; unswerving honesty and Integrity in commerce and in our mutual intercourse with one another; promptly and feariess- ly answering the calls of duty and of conscience, whether for our own profit or loss, leaving to every man what is his and giving to every one his due—Keeping a conscience Void of offence toward God and toward men—this is justice. Loving kindness, the second prerequisite, 1s a higher and nobler virtue than Simple justice. “Love thy neighbor as thysell” is the highest moral precept whicn the Divine Legisia- vor has given us, ‘Ihis phrase was explained to include & warm interest for all that ennobics man- kind and a stacere solicitude for their welfare. ‘This feeling 1s the most powerful that God has umpianted 10 Our breasts. It 13 a divine fame, and dues not consist in mere dhe ye and promises, in & specious weal and empty snow, but in practical works of kindness and affection for others, irre- spective of station, creed or nationality. 10 WALK MODESTLY WITH GoD is the third and highest demand of our Maker upon His children. ‘nis means to be free {rom presump- tion and arrogance; to see in a virtuous iife, In the practice of justice and tove nothing more ,.than sacred duties devolving upon us; to faithfully and unostentatiously perform our part i life, relying solely upon God. A glance at the con- stitution of ‘society will show what a dificult task it i to walk humbly with God. ‘The different @lasses and conditions o1 society were then enumerated and depicted—the rich and the poor, the high and the low, the handsome and the omely, the good and the bad, the learned and the iiliterate—ail striving to imitate and oulshine one another, and each trying to pass for what he or she is not Im the mist of such a society to walk humbly with God 1s the very touchstone of true re- ligion. But the Knowledge of these virtues without their practice, which the Prophet urges, is like a tree without roots. ‘This proposition was illus trated by Wwe history of Balaam, who possessed the Knowledge of true reigion, but in pracuce was a diviner und @ soothsayer, and used his knowledge for base purposes, He knew Goa, yet glorified Him notasGod, He only knows God aright whuse will and affections are schooled in justice, love and hu- mility, He whose knowledge of God is werely tueoretical RESEMBLES NEBUCHADNEZZAR’S IMAGE, “whose head wus of fine gold, but whose feet were | part ol iron and part clay.” And yet, said ine Doc- tor, strange as Balaam’s character May seem to us, we may go inw the street und find a balaam to every ulird man we meet. ‘hey are theoreticai be- levers in the trae God and long to die the deata of | the righteous, bat they are unwilling to live a | Tighteous aud godly life.

Dr. Habsch. Notwithstanding the storm of yesterday a goodly number of the sons and daughters of Israel gath- ered in the synagogue in avenue vu, corner of Fourth street, The congregation is of the moderate reform caste, not quite so advanced as the Temple gations Bnal Jeshurun and Shaaria Tephila, They Dave an organ io the synagogue and employ female singers in the choir. But the services are conducted in German and in Heprew. The male members of the congregation stil] wear their hats during wor- ship, but they have very generally discarded those scar.s and phylacteries which the conservative and orthodox as generally wear in the synagogue. Dr. Hubsch, the rabbi of this congregation, stands high among Israelites as a scholar and a preacher. He has @ very pleasing conversational style in the pulpit, and is justly popular with his people. A vein of humor and sarcasm runs through his discourses, especially when he seeks to impress the superiority | of the teachings of God’s Word over the traditions i of men. And while the people smile at the quaint- ness of the illustrations or the untenableness of their own positions and practices, tuey are com- pelled to acknowledge that the preacher ts right and that they are wrong. Yesterday the Doctor discoursed on tne EDUCATION AND TRAINING OF CHILDREN. He took for his exampies Ishmael and Isaac, the twosonsof Abraham. He briefly recited the cir- cumstances preceding the birth of Ishmael, the son ol Magar, the Egyptian, Saran’s handmaid, and also the aunouncement by the angel to Abraham and Sarah that the latter, though aged, should have @ son, Isaac, in whom all the families of the earth should be blessed, Here were two boys, the children of one father and two mothers, ‘Tne character of the mothers was shown 10 the training of the children, Ishmael was @ wild youth—a bad boy, as he would be called in our da: Isaac Was the very opposite. He inherited the faith and the virtues of his father, Abraham, and these were cultivated, encouraged and developed by his moter, Saran, And as ine boys grew up together the evil developed in isymael fuster than the good in Isaac. One day Sarab found | Ishmael mocking her son and trying to annoy him, divines took part in the exercises.

The Ministrations of n Benatitul and Devout Quakeress in Brooklyn=—A Faror am the Religious Congregations—Distinguished Divines Invite Her to Their Paipite—The Presbyterians and Rev, Dr, Cuyler, The good church-goers of Brooklyn have a new sensation, before which, for the nonce, the prayers and preaching of the pastor of Plymouth church | fall into forgetfulness, It is not the appearance of @ new prima donna, with song and beauty to com. mend her, nor a sudden change of faith on the part of ao eminent divine.

Dr. Hubsch then explained THE OLD EDUCATIONAL SYSTEMS and contrasted them with the new in five Jeading particulars. First, it was the duty of the father to initiate his son in the creed and faith which he himsell pro- fessed. Second, to lease his son—A ceremony which consisted in giving him five pieces of silver and teacning him the Value of the same. Third, to ine struct him as tothe kind of literature ne snould Tread and study. And in this there Was much more Tegard to the quatity than the quantity.

Bishop Wood, of Philadelphia, Explains His Card=—The World Tending Toward Infl- dolity. The HERALD a few days since published a commu. nication from Philadelphia with regard to ine pro- phecy made by a lady in Rome. The prophecy was to the effect thatina shorc time there would be three dark days come upon the earth, and they would be but the forerunners of something dreadful to happen to all nations. So greata hold had this superstition on the minds of some Catholics in this country that Bishop Wood, of Philadelpiiia, to calm the fears of his flock, issued @ card denying the truth of the prophecy, It seems very strange that in this age of the world people of assumed intelligence should be fouud to believe a story of such doubtful authenticity; but there nave been people found to believe it, as was evidenced by the commotion among the Catholics of the Quaker City. Right Rev. Bishop Wood, ac- companied by his assistant, Rev. A. J. Mcvonomy, arrived in this city yesterday afternoon, en rowle tothe North. They tad been in the Gilkey House but twenty minutes when a HERALD reporter sent ub bis card and Was soon ushered into the presence of the reverend gentleman, “Well,” he said, with # smile, as the reporter en- tered, “are you going around interviewing people and putting them in the papers’? ‘The reporter repied that no one need go in the HERALD against his will, at least 1a the shape of an Interview. “But,’’ he continued, “the HeRALD 1s desirous of hearing why you thought it nccessary W publish the cara about the prophecy.” “The people were becoming alarmed lest It might come to pass,” replied tne Bishop. REPORTER—It hardly seems possible that people woald be foolish enough to betieve such nonsense, Bishop Woov— People readily believe avy thing. KerorTER—Were there otner reasons for puvish~ ing the card? Fasnop Woop—Yes. I had seen @ sketch of the hfe of the woman who made the prophecy, aud there Was nothing of the kind mentioned, KEPORTER— When people veiieve such prophecies it looks us if thelr minds were inclined towards Schism, does 1t LOU?

At noon yesterday the raid which was inaugurated under the new system was continued by the asses- sors and police mm the Fifth ward, As it was well known this movement would be continued, the raiders had very little hope of making @ great haul of the coutravband material. The assessors, tt 19 asserted, had received some private tnformaiion which gave tem a clue to the place wuere the fluid was secreted, THE RAIDERS yesterday were compused of a detachment of thirty- eight patrolmen, under Captain Mcvonnell, Ser- geants Crait and Clancy, snd fifieen revenue omicers under Assessor Jourdan. ‘The first place visited was the old grain distillery of Fisher, at the corner of John and God sweets, where, in the Manner above indicated, the General had been led to expect that consigerable whiskey had been stored.
