Mr. Greeley and the Catholics. To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— An articic in the Sunday HERALD endeavors to prejudice Catholics against Horace Grecley, because of what the writer calls anti-Catholic spirit in Mr. Greeley’s sentiments regarding the war between France and Prussia, Let us come nearer home and see what has been Mr. Greeley’s s:irit towards | Catholics, To American Catholic institutions | of all kinds he has been amost liberal. To every Catholic fair—and they are held annuaily—he has generously contributed when solicited to do so, Many years ago a Catholic lady asked him by letter fora donation for St. Francis chureh, in Sixteenth street. He replied: friend, accept the enclosed —— for your church. Whenever you need for your charities what I can give callonme. I'm not rich, but I do not care to Jay up money.” This‘lady has during thirty years | called upon Mr. Greeley for various Catholic insti- | tutions of charity and never was refused a dona- uon. His paper has more than once been loud in | appeal for Catholic need at home and abroad, j in Ireland's distress he was like a Catholic in spirit of generosity towards her famishing children, His name was on the list of those who were ready to | ‘ald Ireland—Catholic Ireland—in her struggle for | liberty. Mr. Greeley’s only sister and his two nieces were baptized Catholicsin St. Stephen's church by the late Rev, Dr. Cummings. Mr. Gree- | Jey was present at the ceremony, an unopposing witness. At the Convent of the Sacred Heart, at Manhat- tanville, his eldest daughter, Miss Ida Greeley, was educated with full permission if her own convic- tions led her to adopt the Catholic faith, to be bap- tized in that Church, His younger daughter was alsO@ pupil atthe convent. Does this look like animosity against Catholics ? There are many reasons why Catholics ought to respect Horace Rett and to vote for him. Catho- | lics of New York particularly owe him more than | can be told in a newspaper article. | fhe has found France wanting, we trust it was Not its Catholic, butits anti-Catholic spirit, ot which he complained, A CATHOLIC, Immortality Solely Through Christ. To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— Judging from your issue of Sunday, August 25, the doctrine of the tmmortality of the soul must Bull “go begging” for a defender, for it appears to me that neither “W. H.") nor “M. A, G.” can fill the gap. “M.A. G." is right in assuming that “I believe in the divine origin of the Bible as being God's word and written under the guidance of His holy spirit,’ and the qnestion is, Is this doctrine taught in the Bible? Is it named in the Bible? “To the law and the testimony let our appeal be, Never mind the ‘“Mos- Jem and heathen,” the “Hindoo” or the wage Indian.” It they believe the doctrine in question | the inference may safely be drawn that it is a false doctrine; for “Life and immortality are brought to ‘light through the Gospel,” and not through the “degraded heathen” and “savage Indian of our own Continent.” It seems to me that advocates of this unscrip- tural doctrine sometimes forget what side they are | on, or that they assume that all opposers of the | doctrine reject future existence altogether, and that when they have found @ Scripture teaching @ future life said Scripture is put forth a8 proof of the soul's inherent immortality. But tt must be remembered that future fe may be true and Scriptural, while the “immortality of the soul’? may be false and unscriptural, doctrine. These remarks are fully borne out by “M. A. G.'s” first Scriptural proofs Proof of what? Of the doctrine of the immortality of the soul. At least so it is intended. But all the passage proves is a suture life to the believer. Here it is:—“When Christ our life (the saints’ life) shail appear, then shall ye also appear with Him in gory.}!—Col. liL, 4 The parties to whom this was originally addressed have long ago passed from their earthly Jabors, What now is their state if Clrist has ohne ? Then they with Him in glory. If Christ has not since then NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1872.—TRIPLE SHEBT,. vill., 28. It teaches me that “this same Jeaus which is taken up from you into heaven shall #0 come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven."—Acts iL, 11. It teaches me that “when He shall appear we shall be like Him (then the saints will with Him in gior; for we shall see Him as he is,” Would that “W. H.” and “M. A. G.” had this hope, for “every man that hath this hope in Him puritieth himself, even as He is ure."—I, John, lii., 2, 3, My Bible furthermore aches me that “when the Cluef Shepherd shall appear we shall receive a crown of glory that fadet not away."—L Peter, v., 4. Oh, I rejoice to believe the same doctrines as the Apostle Paul. “I have fought a good fight, &c.; henceforth there is laid up tor me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give me at that day; and not tome only, but unto all them that love His appearing.” How can any oue believe in the immortality of the soul and believe the Scrip- tures? How can the abeyance of the saints’ gory until the appearing of Christ be compatible wit! the ‘immortality of the soul?’ No, no. Paul and Peter and all their confréres are asleep and tn their graves; but they shall hear the voice of the arch- angel and the tramp of God and shall rise to meet the Lord in the air; that at His appearing—that at His second appearance—then shall they be with Him in glory; then shall they see Him as He is and be like Him; then shall they get their crowns of glory and righteousnes: then will all be perfected together.—Hebrews. xi., 40. Such are the Glorious, and inspiring doctrines of true Chris- tlanity. But we remark that nelther in “M, A. G.'s" proof text, columns three and four, nor in all the quota- tions above, isthere mention made of the soul, mortal or immortal, How then can any one of them be cited as proofs of the doctrine in question? It would be well for our opponent and all others if they would gtick closely to the Word. Seek not to alter or amend. Amend the Word of God! Just think of it! “M. A. G.” 1s not satisfied with “Christ our life,” but he would have it “Christ is the life ot the soul.’ We want a higher authority than “M. A, G@’’ for such an embelliisment of God's word. No, Christ is our life, not. our soul’s life, and it is ‘we’? who shail appear with Him in glory; not our souls, our immortal, never dying, souls, No, no such nonsense as that; we ourselves, in person, we shall appear with Him in glory. If “the body does decay” —“‘though worms destroy this body (sald Job) yet in my tesh shall I see God.” Heaven ts the utility of a resurrection. Immortal soulism needs no resurrection—it is @ useless en- cumbrance. T must concinde this already lengthy commanica- tion by noticing barely “M, A. G.’s" last proof. It is from Romans, il., 7, and we beg our readers to look narrowly into it. ‘God will render to every man (not to every immortal soul) according to his deeds to them, who es patient continuance in well- doing ‘seek for’ (mark it well) glory and honor and (seek for) immortality (God will render) eteraal life.” Here, firstly, we seek for immortality—a proof that we have not got it; secondly, God will render eternal life—a proof that we have no eternal life at present, But, again, thirdly, this passage does not contemplate possessing an immortal soul, seeking an immortal soul or having rendered to us an immortal soul. Infact the passage is abortive in proving the heathen Moslem Hindoo and Ameri- can Indian doctrine. If we want to know when this eternal life will be rendered we have only to read Romans, it., 16. Till then, at least, there is no im- mortality about us, body or soul. I would notice other proofs, particularly “W. H.'s,” but the jenath of my answer admonishes me to close; but, with your continued indulgence, am willing to notice every text to be found in the Scriptures of truth bearing on this important sub- ject, and to defend the doctrine of “Life only in Christ.” BO. Jewish Persecution in Roumania—The Opinions of the Russian and Ottoman Ministers on the Roumanian Ques- tion—A Suggestion from a WUebrew Rabbi. To THe Epiror or THE HERALD:— The barbarous Roumanian outrages against the Israclites having become a matter of general notice, I think it will be of some interest to the American public to know the opinions of the repre- sentatives of the two great Powers in immediate connection with that semi-barbarous State. Lately I visited His Excellency the Minister of Turkey, Blacque Bey, at his residence in Long Branch. Ihad the honor of being kindly received by His Excellency, for he knows me as a subject of the Power he represents in America. In my con- versation with him about many other things the Roumanian question was touched upon, and it afforded me an opportunity to hear his opinion on this subject. His Excellency Blacque Bey thinks that the cause of the Roumanian hatred against the Israelites is nothing else but jealousy of a lazy and jndolent people towards un active and industrious class of people that prosper in their midst. He expressed his greatest sympathy for the suffering Israelites, and assured me of the same sentiments on the part of the Turkish Empire, under the sway of whicn the Israelites enjoy all privileges and esteem alike with all its other subjects. He was himself present in Constantinople when the late Chacan Bashit (Chief Rabbi) Zakir Efendi received marks of honor and decorations for many Israelites who had rendered services to the government. He thinks that the suilerings of the Israelites in Roumania are @ dis- grace to the civilized world, and assured me that the Sublime Porte will do all which 1s in its power to suppress them, remarking that 10,000 Turkish soldiers would be suiticient to check the outrages of the overbearing Roumanians. He finally recommended me to interview His Excel- Jency the Russian Ambassador, Baron Ofenberg, who was for nine years Ambassador of Russia to poe fo a Previous to his mission to the United ates, Baron Offenberg said:—The persecutions of the Jews in Roumania have no religious character at all, but they are social incompatibilities arising by a too great number of the Jewish element at the stall towns of Koumania near the Gallician and Russian borders. Only at these localities we see, perhaps, every year the same Jewish persecutions, while they never occur at those parts of the coun- | try where the Israelites are not settled in such a great extent. The Jewish question is a current question of the same mature as the Chinese ques- tion in California, The excesses and outrages of the Roumanian People against the Israelites are the consequences: Of feeble, unapt, often corruptible local officials, who check these outrages unsufliciently, and the imbecile juries acquit thereof the oifenders., There- fore the government at Bucharest is not so much to be blamed, and the reproach of intolerance and furtherance of the Jewish outrages cannot be cast on the government alone. The government 1s too feeble, and every step to enfeeble it more would damage the cause of the Jews in Roumania. As these indecencies in Rouinania are generally caused by a too thick population of the Jews in some places there could be a great amelioration and reform of the Jewish affairs in Roumania effected by an emigration to America. The American chargé d'aifuirs at Bucharest, Mr. Peixotto, always represented his country in a worthy manner, At the request ef his Hebrew brethren issued a paper for the advance of their interest and improvement in the German lan- guage, which gained a benevolent influence on the public mind there. His peaceable and conciliatory bearing gained him the sympathy and estimation of the better part of the population at Bucharest, ag also his om- cial situation as a consul of the United States ele- vated also his countrymen in the estimation of the public mind, which would not have been possible in former times, I will also publicly express here my gratitude to the Ottoman Minister, His Excellency Biacque Bey, for his undisguised truthful sympathy with my suffering brethren; and, having heard from him the good sentiments of hia government, I uttered a prayer common scuba the Oriental Jews—‘‘Alla justur e Sultan,” God bless the Sultan, It is also sure that we owe to the Imperial Russian Minister in Roumelia, His Excellency Bron Otfen- berg, the deepest gratitude, as he did everything to mitigate the sad lot of the Israelites in Roumelia, At last 1 should counsel that some highly esteemed Jewish citizens of New York would be so kind as to express their deep interests in the cause of the Roumanian Israelites by waiting, together with several committees of Israel societies, accom- panied with such gentiemen as Mr. Seligman, S. Mayer, &c.,eon His Excellency the Russian Min ter, Baron Offenberg, expressing to him their thanks for his kindness and sympathy with the cause of the Israelites in Roumelia. Itake also take the liberty to tender you, Mr. Faditor, our thanks for pubiisl ing. these facts, and remain, very re: rie your obedient servant, H, 7. SNEERSOHN, 44 avenue C, New York. New YouK, Sept. 5, 1872. The Tomb of the Jesuit Martyrs. (From the Catholic Review, Sept. 7.) A young American lady, writing from Paris, says that the chapel in the Rue de Sevres, where repose the bodies of the Jesuit Fathers murdered during the Commune, is constantly filled by a crowd of persons of all classes of society, devoutly praying vefore the mortuary chapel. ‘Nothing can be imagined more affecting than the deep devotion of all these people. I saw @ young officer, with his head buried in his hands, praying most earnestly ; near him knelt three ladies in deep mourning ; they Wept bitterly, and before leaving the Church placed their wreaths of immortelles on the grave. The number of flowers which adorn the tomb ts quite incredible, and they have to be removed frequently or else the church would soon be filled with them, 8o great is the quantity of floral offerings, Mira- cles have been periormed here, and | know of more than one prayer that has been granted, The faith of the Parisians in the intercession of the “mar- |, tyrs’’ of the Rue de Sevres is very great, and no one should visit Paris without witnessing the edi- fying scenes of piety which take place dally in this chureh, Even to the Protestant tiey cannot sail to be of deep interest, but to us Catholics they are touching in the extreme.” Funerals and Ministers—Card from Rev. George H. Smyth, of Wilmington, Del. To THe EpiTor or THE HERALD:— Will you do me the favor 40 imsert the following neither with Him nor in glory. Now Tiere tononen me that Christ “shall appear the nd time Without sin unto salyation.”—Heb, eC! in your paper:— Just before lepyipg on my vacation J attended a mooitog ofthe ministers and undertakers of this city, called together for the iy of tag some plan tor the better conduct of funerals. A\ that meeting there were present two Fyiscopal clergymen, two Baptists, two (or three) Methodists and one Presbyterian; also one undertaker. The following recommendations were unant- mote adopted and published in the Commer- 1. That only the hour for the beginning of the funeral services be published, and that promptness on the part of all is very desirable. 2. Thata spp, be sent for and placed at the service of the mi re 8. That the position of the minister, during the seat the selection ‘af “the eee selection of the Lord’s for fanerals be discouraged. Der The reason for the first recommendation was that the minister has been notified of a funeral at which he was desired to oficiate next day—say two P. M.—and when he inquired does that ‘mean that my corrags will come for me at two o'clock? or that the service at the house of deceased will begin at two o’clock ? or that tho procession will move to the cemetery at two o’clock ? the messen- ger could not tell him. Sometimes the minister has had to watt at the house an hour later than that announced for the time of service, and so has been compelled to disappoint another funeral at which he could have officiated had the first funeral service begun proney, ‘at the hour. The reason for the second recommendation was that, in many cases, the minister has had to walk acouple of miles through a pelting storm or under a scorching sun to the housé of the deceased, and when he got there found more than a dozen hacks that had stood there idie twice the time that any one of them could have gone for him. The sending a comfortable carri; for the minister would not have cost the afflicted family one cent more, ana surely they could not desire the discom- fort of one for whom they had sent to comfort them in their sorrow. In some cases the carriage was taken from the minister at the cemetery, and he compelled to walk home or hasten to another ser- vice impatiently awaiting his delay. In many cases, where every one else rode in a comfortable carriage, the minister was hustled into an old, rickety one- horse shay, which surely is not a respectable thing to head a funeral procession, nor {s it re- spectable or fair to expose the health of this man to injury. I have, along with an Episcopal brother, rode two miles in the country, through a peng, sleet and rain, in such a miserable veulcle, was laid up sick for weeks after, while there were quite a large number of close carriages in the procession. One of the pastors of this clty was carted about in a common milk wagon to a funeral, the only two. seats in the wagon being occupied by two persons, who allowed the minister to stand until he took a camp chair from hisown house on which to sit. Now, it sounds very nice for @ selfish man to recline comfortably in @ tine carrtage and see such indig- nity and meanness perpetrated on a minister, and call it “humility” and “Christ-lkeness.” Away with your “likeness,” Such caricatures were never drawn by Ohrist. He taught maniiness, not mean- neas, The reason for the third recommendation was that, instead of the minister having a congregation betore him to address, he was placed at the head of an empty stairway to preach to a hatrack. If this Position does not seem ludicrous in the extreme, it would be hard to conceive oue that would. Sup- pose you try it some evening, when you are invited to meet a few friends at your neighbor's house, whom you are to address on some solemn and im- portant matter, Let them alt betake themselves to their rooms, and you take your stand on the stair and preach to empty nothing, ‘The fourth recommendation needs no comment. Now, Mr. Editor, in this condition of things pecu- culiar to Wilmington—a city in other respects progressive and retined—was there not need for a reform here? The press is all the time de- houncing ministers because they are not pro- gressive and reformatory, and no sooner do they attempt reform than it comes down upon them With coarse abuse, instead of coming to their aid. ‘This assertion, of course, is true only of a small Portion of the press. There are papers that never print @ line touching the good name and reputation of the Christian minister that ts not high-toned and honorable, Pardon me if I place the HERALD high up in this class. In reply to some of the personalities published respecting the part I took in the matter in question T have only to say that justice to myself compels me to state that they were neltner respectful nor truthful. For whatever reforza has been effected in the orderly conduct o1 funerals I deserved no more credit than my brethren with whom I merely acted tn common, and who did me_ the honor of making me chairman of their meeting. The only aim we had in offering the recommen- dations here published was to have, at such a solemn time, “all things done decently and in order.” We feel the great delicacy of the subject, as well we might, for not one of us but hud laid away our own loved ones in the silent grave. We believed everything that would prevent jar and confusion, everything that would tend to preserve the good order and stillness of such a sacred place as the home of the dead, would be for the consola- ton of the sorrowing and the comfort of the sympa- thizing, as well as for the respect due the deceased, And we are willing to trust an intelligent com- munity for the right appreciation of our motives and of the valuable reforms recommended, and which we are happy to state have already been in- augurated, and with the most satisfactory results to all concerned.

The Bishop of Oxford has expressed his strong disapprobation of one of his clergy for officiating in an English Episcopal Church in Scotland, as an act of schism toward the Scotch Episcopal Church. The Very Reverend Dean Bethune, of Montreal, died last week in that city, at the age of cighty-two ive. His ministry had continued there for nearly alfa century, and in his death three generations of Christian people are bereaved ofa reyered friend and father in the Church. The Rey.

ROMAN CATHOLIC, The Rev. Father Thomas Burxe is confined to his bed at the Dominican Convent in this city, suffering from dysentery. The terrible heat of the past Sum- mer, and his not sparing himself from exertions meanwhile, have brought this sickness on Father Burke. His lecture, therefore, for the benefit of the charities under the care of the Sisters of Mercy in Houston street, which was to have been delivered in the Academy of Music last Thursday evening, has been indefinitely postponed. Ata dinner given by Roman Catholic priests to Cardinal Cullen, the Right Rev. Dr. Leahy made a somewhat ta oeae | statement. He declared that in France “the spre: of crime extended in proportion to the spread of education, Whereeducation was most ditfused there also was crime most diffused, not only the petty, but the most atrocious crimes,”” The moral he drew Was that the influence of the beseanood, was the necessary element to prevent education from cor- rupting society, It is stated by the Paris Liverté that Father Hyacinthe and the Abbé Michaud, late vicar of the Madeleine, proj to go to New Cale- donia to establish a church in accordance with their own doctrines among the political convicts of that penal settlement. Abbé Michaud has, however, signified his intention of uniting with the orthodox Greek Church. The Pope has canonized and patron- ized Charles deSeze, a venerable barefooted Fran- ciscan monk who lived and died in the seventeenth century. In publicly declaring the fact on the 16th of last month the Bie called particular attention to the simplicity of lire and faith of this venerable saint, and contrasted him with some of the present day, who have meddied in affairs and in business that belonged not to their calling, thus accustom- ing themselves to a manner of life from which the simplicity of the saints vanishes. The Tablet of this city states that during the past four weeks the labors of Rey. Father Marco, the devoted pastor of St. Patrick’s church, at Long Island City, have been crowned by the conversion of Byron Db. Ball, pos f a@ Presbyterian; Julian babcock, a Bap- tist; Felix A. Dorsett, an Episcopalian; Julia Theresa Cancare, an eRcepalleit: Anthony Zim- merman, a Lutheran; Odessa Mary Lord and her daughter Josephine, bresbyterians, and Margaret Ehiunger, Dutch Reformed.

The THIRTY-FOURTH STREET SYNAGOGUE. The Character and Calling of Prophets end Religious Teachers—Moses and Samuel as Examples—Sermon by Dr. Vidaver. ‘The Jewish rabbies and congregations having com- pleted their summer vacations are again in thelr wonted places in the synagogue. Though not yet in such numbers as they have been the congregation Boal Jeshurun was very fairly represented yester- day. Some time ago female singers were introduced into the choir of this Synagogue, but some of the old orthodox members who have much more care for the letter than for the spirit of Judaiam were 80 scandalized by the innovation that they could not rest until the innocent cause of their trouble was removed. This was done just before vacation, and nothing has taken the place of the lady singers yet. The consequence is that the reader has to do much of the choir’s work as well as his own, which makes the labor hard enough for him, while at the same time it conveys a fecling of something lacking tothe mind of a stranger en- tering in. If “praise is comely for the righteous,” it must be a strange phase of religion which ex- cludes it trom the sanctuary unless it shall be rendered by particular persons and in a particular way. And if it is obligatory upon all the people to praise God, why should His praise be confined in any house of worship to any class or sex? The absence of singing yesterday certainly produced a strange impression upon the mind of the HERALD Tepremenensive: and, doubtless, upon the minds of others too, And especially so since any one read- ing the eae he rT ae the Prophets must be convinced that vei uch of the worship of ancient Judaism consisted not only ef vocal, but of instrumental music also, and that of both sexes, The sermon presoned by Dr. Vidaver was an earnest, practical exposition of the CHARACTER AND CALLING Of PROPIETS of the Lord, and of their successors, the rabbies and teachers of to-day. His text was Deuteronomy xvilt., 15—"A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you aft ha brethren like unto me; him shall ye hear,” The Doctor remarked that the . greatest institution of ancient times was the order of Jewish prophets. Priests and sacrifices are found in all nations among the ancients, designed to propitiate the wrath of the Supreme Being. The priests were the managers of the external forms and rites connected with this sacrificial worship. ‘There was in Israel an outward resemblance to those heathen customs, but the spirit was alto- tae) different. It was not to appease an angry , nor were the Jewish priests set above the people. They were rather to walk before the people as examples of piety and purity. But the calling and the duty of the prophets was different. They had to ard the lamp of divine truth and to teach the people to walk in its saving light. Every Israclite should get a clear conception of this prophetic institution, whose career stands unparalleled in the history of the world. We should be proud, said the Doctor, of this glorious galaxy of seers and teachers, whose blood still flows in our veins. Now, what was the calling of the prophets? God said to Moses that Aaron was to be his navy or prophet—that is, a speaker, & prociaimer of things or truths, Moses was the first prophet, and this, said the Doctor, taking the Bible in his hand, is oe glorious truth which he imparted to the people. Hence Moses re- ceived, as he richly deserved, the title of a servant of God, faithful in all his house. And the prophets who succeeded him were also called servants of God. They spake in His name and declared His will to the people. But were all THE PROPHETS LIKE MOSES ? No. The text speaks of but one prophet like unto him, and we find only one like him in every respect among the host that lived and died in Israel. And that one was Samuel. He is placed in the same rank with Moses by the other prophets and by David. “Though Moses and Samuel were be- jore me, yet could not my mind be toward them,” saith the Lord. Samuel was not only a prophet, he was also a ruler and a judge. He combined action and teaching in hisadministration. In’more mod- ern days the former was left to kings, while the lat- ter was the prerogative of prophets. And this change took place tmmediately after Samuel's death. The prophet’s words were like fire or lava stream flowing down from the holy mount and con- suming the sins of the people, or like a hammer that broke the flinty rock in pieces. The Doctor here pointed out the great difference between the teachings of the Hebrew prophet and the heathen priest. The 1ormer was to establish the religion of the true God and to bring the people back from idolatry and superstition to His worsht The lat- ter was political and was used for selfish ends. He asked the congregation to contrast in their minds THE FEARLESS UTTERANCES OF NATHAN TO DAVID, of Elijah to Ahab, of Jeremiah and Amos to the kings and princes of Israel, with the utterances of Plato or Cicero before tite Greek or Roman courts and assemblies. The former are uncompromisin; in their denunclations of the sins of the rulers an of the people, while the latter are content to let the people serve God and Baal too. But he regretted that some of the teachers of Israel were ready to compromise with idolatry and superstition, and to ersuade the people that Judaism consisted merely in forms and ceremonies, until they were see ¢ to exclaim, “The temple of the Lord! the temple of the rd are we!" and to think that any kind of sacri- fice was good enough for an offering to the Lord, But they belied Judaism. Your new moons and your Sabbaths and your set feasts are an abomina- tion unto me, saith the Lord. What doth the Lord require but to do justly, to love mercy and to walk humbly with God? The sacrifices of God are a broken and a contrite spirit, and with such He is well pleased. But the prophets of the Lord were not always anointed. They were not sons of prophets, nor even doctors of the Jaw. Amos was a herdman and @ gatherer of sycamore fruits, and the holy oil had not been poured on his head, but the Lord auointed his heart and sent him forth to BRING THE PEOPLE BACK FROM SIN unto holiness and from idolatry to the worship of the one only living and true God. And whether they were sent to rich or poor, to peasant or to prince, to individuals or to cities, they obeyed with the same readiness and uttered their denunciations against the sins of each alike. Dr. Vidaver then pointed out the idolatrous worship of Israelites of the present day and the absolute necessity for the successors of the prophets, the rabbies, to warn the eople and to bring them back to the worship of 30d and to teach them and lead them in tne good andthe right way. And the rabbi who does not draw inspiration from his work he considered unfit for his calling. But the people now ask the rabbies, as they did the prophets of old, to (tab gtk smooth things and to declare pleasant things unto them ; but the rabbis’ duty is to shout jn the ears of the people, “Thou shalt not respect the persons of men, thou shalt not wrest judgment in the gate,” until judgment and justice are administered alike to all and by all, and then shall every man speak truth with his neighbor and the prophets? peculiar call- ing shall be gone, for all the Lord’s people shall be Prophets, has requested the clerical journals to ab- stain from publishing the Pope's speeches, MISCELLANEOUS, Professor 8.

The Orthodox Eastern Chapel in a New Dress—What It Is Like=The Nuch of Something More Noble. The Orthodox Eastern chapel, 951 Second avenue, between Fifticth and Fifty-first streets, has lately been completely renovated and is now as hand- some asa picture and asneat and comfortable as it can well be made. It will doubtless be interest- ing to a large number of the readers of the HERALD to know how an Eastern church {8 constructed, An Orthodox Greek church is generally buiit in the form of a@ cross. The position of. the edifice is from west toeast. The inner space of the church is divided mto three principal parts, In the east is the altar; entrance to it is not generally accorded to persons not set apart to service in the church. The second principal division is the church proper, im which the faithful meet for worship. The third division consists. of an ante-chamber and a porch, which latter is sometimes called the outer, as the former is designated the inner, ante- chamber, ‘The inner ante-chamber was once set apart for the catechumens and certain penitents. 1 t 1s sometimes called the trapeza (table or dining hali), because here,,in the primitive age of the Church, the love-feast, or agap@, was held—that Is, a meal ponsisting of te gifts brought by the faithful. Tu the outer hall formerly, st the penitents of the lowest grade, or those usually cal Flentes. ‘The foremost part of the altar is the holy table. Thissis covered with a linen cloth, called a kata- sarka, and over this isa light covering, called an enaytion. On the upper surface of the table, over the endytion, is placed the itton, and in this the Bishop places the antiminsion. As in the temple of the Old Testament thare were in the holy of holies, with, the ark, also the golden keys, the manna, the rod.of Aaron and the table of the law, s@ there are in the Orthedox Eastern Church also the tabernacle, that i, a vessel wherein are placed ,the holy gifts for the sick, @ cross, as the sign of the eternal Priest of our redemption, and @ book of Gospels, as the deposi. tory of His holy law, all of which are placed on the holy table. Behind the holy table, toward the east, is erected the thrane for the bishop, on both sides of which are side thrones for the clerics serving with the bishop. By thia is signified the heavenly seat of Jesus Christ and His sovereiguty in the Couren, aud, at the same time, also the participa. tion therein of His tles and their suc- rize of $100, offered by the Sabbath Observance Bommittee for the best essay on Sunday street cars, Seventy essays were read and Dr. Spencer's over the signature of [ Sigma, was chosen.

Annual Regatta of the Atlantic Boat Club of Hoboken—Six-Oared Shell Race Between the Gulicks and Atlantics— The Gulicks the Victors—An Exciting Working Boat Contest. The Atlantic Boat Club of Hoboken yesterday held their annual regatta on the old course, Hud- son River, off the Elysian Fields. One or two of their intended races did not take place, owing to unavoidable circumstances, but the day was made memorable by the six-oared shell race between their crack crew and the Gulick Club; the 1a‘ ter or- ganization accepting the Atlantic's challenge for such a contest of three miles. There were many spectators to witness the struggle, fathers and mothers, with their families, embracing tne oc- casion for a breath of fresh air and a ramble among the old trees which still remain near the shore, despite the march of business. The Gulick crew consisted of the following:— Richard B. Deely, bow; Thomas Moone, William BH, Spear, William Matthews, William Burns, and Wil- lam F. Gannon, stroke. Their shell was the old se Norton, fifty feet long aud nineteen inches wide. The Atlantic's crew were:—Jos. W. Benson, bow; J. L. Livingston, George Perry, Robert Lefman, D. McQueen, and Jos. Russell, stroke. They trusted their luck in the shell Enone, forty- nine feet 1ong aud twenty inches wide. +The water was very smooth, the tide ebbing at the start, and the day very pleasant. Tne Gulicks, after an exciting race, came home the winners in 23m, 168. ‘The second race was for seventeen-foot working boats. There were three entries—Christy Acker- man, John Ackerman and James Reed. Christy Ackerman, in a prettily contested race, came home the winner in 19m. 43s., the course being little short of three miles, PIGEON SHOOTING. Apigeon shooting match for $250 a side came off yesterday afternoon, at Fleetwood Park, between Ira A. Payne and Henry Blauvelt. The conditions of the match were that Payne was to give Blauvelt three birds in twenty; to shoot with one-ounce shot, twenty-one yards rise, eighty yards boundary; H and T tray The shooting was very good, few birds escaping. Payne won the match by killing nineteen out of the twenty birds that he shot at and hitting the other one hard, but it got out bounds.
