what comes out of theo New Testament ~than a drizzle is like May sunshine. The Westminster Catechism came in for a notice as an indigestible piece of theology. That document, like many others framed in less liberal and less enlightened ages, will have to be patched and pieced to make it acceptable to men in these days, or else it must be discarded altogether. Indifference in our religious ‘opinions the speaker deprecated, and urged decision in this regard. Many indeed are the mistakes made by men in taking only partial views of Christ. He is not the austere Being that some would depict Him. He does not by set designs strive to accomplish this or that; no one was more Spontanoous than He. He mixed in revelry at the marriage feast, and did what the occa- sion and the hour demanded, and hence Mr. Briggs could warmly commend the sweetness of His natureo—the loving One whom we can take to our hearts and keep there. Very justly, we think, the preacher reproved those pulpits that make of this world a prison and Christ the warden. Rather is it a pleasure ground in which children gambol, while the Father, ever watchful, beckons and calls them to rest and home and heaven, Jesus came to make heaven on earth, and hence overy believer has the kingdom of God within him. This is what makes religion the substantial thing that it is, and not a shadow, as some would have it. No set of words will describe what it is. It is not a mere absence of badness. It is to be embow- ered with goodness. The feast of Pentecost, which is drawing nigh, became a theme worthy the attention of some of the clergy yesterday. Dr. McGlynn eclared and explained the purposes of the Divine Spirit among men—to enlighten, edu- cate, enrich and give comfort to our fallen na- tures in need of sustenance, and to lead us to ahigher, nobler and more loving apprecia- tion of the Lord Jesus Christ and His atonement, The ascension of Christ, so inti- mately connected with the descent of the Holy Ghost, was considered by Dr. Chapin, who inferred from the peaceful and noiseless ascent of the Saviour that His second coming would be in like manner, notwithstanding the great excitement which some persons are inclined to raise about that event. By our faviour’s ascension to heaven we haye con- firmation that Christianity descended from heaven. The reality of heaven as a resting place for tho spirits of the just and the rocogni- tion of friends there are also proved by the as- Dension of Christ and the descent of the Spirit, The powér and authority of the Catholic to forgive sins and the signs of perma- nency in the Church were the subjects chosen by Father Kearney in St. Patrick's Cathedral. The argument in defence of the first proposi- tion was the well known one founded on the Saviour’s words to Peter, ‘‘On this rock,” &c., and the second was based upon the first. Christ declared the permanency of His Church; her ministry was also to remain unaltered. It follows, therefore, that if the power of forgiv- ing sins was to cease with the Apostles the Ohurch which Jesus Christ founded would also cease with them. But, inasmuch as the Ohureh still exists, the power to forgive sins evidently remains with her priesthood. ‘Thé signs of theta Mhirah af Chet, -~ -spsenwu by #athor Kearney, ure, therefore, unity, holi- ness and apostolic succession. However much time we may spend in hunt- ing up our ancestry and searching out our origin, Mr. Beecher thinks it is far more impor- tant to every man that he should know where he is going to than where he came from. While he regarded Darwin's labors with a pro- found interest, he did not accept all his specu- lations. Nor did he participate in the horror felt by those who thought they had sprung from some lower forms of existence. For himself he would just as licf spring froma monkey as from some men that he knew of. Dr. Wentworth, of Troy, had a word to say sbout denominationalism, and contended that the term Catholic was applicable to all, and that it should not be left exclusively to Roman Catholics. Rev. W. Morley Punshon endea- yored to unravel the mystery of God and the Father and Christ to an immense audience in the Academy of Music, and Dr. Newman showed the harmony which exists be- tween science and religion in St. John’s Methodist Episcopal church. Other sermons and interesting religious scrvices—the recep- tion of some young ladies in the Convent of the Good Shepherd, and the inauguration of Dr. Ewer'’s new church in a permanent home— will be found in our columns this morning. ‘We trust our readers will mark, learn and inwardly digest the truths which they contain and will separate the chaff from the wheat, Scattering the former, but retaining and trea- purjng up the latter for the time of need.

Favorable Chances of an Amica- ble Settlement, on ENGLAND CONSENTS TO A COMPROMISE, A. Supplemental Ala- bama ‘Treaty. Consequential Damages To Be Declared Out of Court in Future. WHAT THE OFFICIALS SAY. Wasutnaron, May 12, 1872. Yesterday morning Secretary Fish hastened to the President with a despatch received from Minister Schenck, informing him of the ac- ceptance by the British government of the final proposition he had made to Lord Gran- ville on Friday with respect to our conse- quential claims. This proposition was for A SHORT SUPPLEMENTAL TREATY, bearing upon the question of the indirect claims alone. These claims, it was suggested by Mr. Fish, could be covered by a fourth retrospective rule, laid down for the guidance of the Geneva Tribunal, setting forth that whenever the United States or Great Britain was engaged in war and the other Power was a neutral, and by a want of due diligonce on the part of the neutral any privateer or hos- tile vessel should escape from its waters, or equip or renew its hostile strength in the neutral’s ports, the latter should ONLY BE LIABLE FOR THE DIRECT DAMAGES inflicted upon the belligerent by the opera- tions of such vessel. The effect of such an understanding would be to enable the United States to leave its whole case before the Tri- bunal as originally presented, by removing the objection that the British government has heretofore, raised, that the consequential claims we had preferred found no sanction or war ranty in the treaty. THE AGREEMENT OF THE GLADSTONE MINISTRY to this proposal of Friday was not hoped for, until Mr. Schenck’s despatch was received on Saturday morning; and the position taken in these despatches on Friday night, that arbitration on the treaty was virtually at an end, was in accordance with the belief then entertained by the administration. The President will to-morrow submit the correspondence to the Senate in an Executive communication; and ask that body to advise The leading republican Senators attended at the White House yesterday evening, and had a long conference with the President. It is tolerably certain that the prospects of success on Secretary Fish’s project of a supplemental treaty were discussed, and that the consulta- tion will tend materially to insure its favor- able consideration by the Senate. What the Government Officials Think of the Status Quo. WASHINGTON, May 12, 1872, While it ia generally belicved, from neswspaper statements, that the Treaty of Washington will fail of execution, gentlemen in oficial positions are not willing to make such admission. Nothing of the offi- cial correspondence between the United States and Great Britain which has taken place since the respective statements of the case have been filed with the Geneva tribunal has been given to the public; but enough is known throngh other channels to apprehended danger to the treaty, owing to the objection of the British government to the presen- tation of claims for consequential damages, and in effect asking for their withdrawal as a movement preliminary to an arrangement affecting future belligerency and neutrality, and our refusal to ac- cede to its wishes. Private letters from London, recently received here, say positively that the British government will withdraw from the Geneva Tribunal rather than go before it with our claims for consequential damages pending. No such threat has, however, reached our government. The question is now where it was several months ‘when “the flewaly note” objecting to gut, prosen- taticti of that class of claims was received by this government, the original positions of the two countries not having been in the least degree changed by the correspondence. The reply of Sec- retary Fish to the last communication received from London will not reach its destination for eight or ten days; and as the two governments, where there is no need for haste, do not conduct their diplomacy by means of telegrams, as important errors may occur in their transmission, if for no other reason, it cannot now be said that the treaty has failed, while the Executive Department of the govern- ment is committed against withdrawing the claims for consequential damages, and in effect deny that England should by implication dictate to usa modl- fication of the American statement of the case, it does not follow that negotiation is at an end. In this condition of misunderstanding between the two nations, and while this government does not expect any moneyed consideration for consequen- tial damages, but desires all claims of whatever character to be disposed of forever by the tribunal of arbttrators, it will continue the correspondence in the hope of removing the dittculty, so that ff the treaty shall fail the responsibility will rest with Great Britain, and not with the United States.

Counter Case of the United StatesmA Marked Admission. Coorgrstown, May 8, 1872. To Tae Epiror or THE MERALD: Dak Sin—In looking over “the counter case of the United States presented to the Tribunal of Arbitration at Geneva under the provisions of the } Treaty of Washington,” a copy of which to-day came into my possession as printed in Paris, I find in section 9 the following, which appears to be a very marked admission on the part of the United States, and which Ido not remember to have seen commented on by the daily press, I therefore ask your attention to 1t:— Both rtles contemplate that the United States will en vor to establish in these procecdings some ta: ble connection of cause and effect be- tween the injuries for which they ask compensation anc the acts committed by the several vessels, which the treaty contemplates are to be shown the fount of those injuries. ‘The Tribunal of Arbitra- tion being a judicial body, invested by the parties with the fanctions necessary for determining the issues between them, and being now seized of the substance of the matters in dispute, will hold itself bound by such reasonable and established rules of law regarding the relations of cause and effect as it may assume that the parties had in view when they = into their arrangement to make this refer- ce. What is the natural and proper construction to be placed upon this language ? That consequential damages, where there can be no “tangible eonnec- tion of cause and effect,” were expected ? Or is it virtually admitted here that “a judicial body," “bound by such reasonable and established rules of law,” &c., must necessarily reject them? Ido not attempt to argue the question, but only venture to call the attention of able writers on this important Subject to tho above admission. If, as now seems to be admitted, neither our government nor Great Britain consider there is really anything in this pre- tended claim for consequential damages, should the ratification of a treaty of such importance tothe in- terests of both countries be endangered by the dis- cussion of a matter not actually in the “case 9 Respectfully yours, S.
