If he means the continuation of its individual consciousness after death, surely the Old Testament is a poor and unreliable place to quote from to disprove his asser- tions by any person not interested in a conspiracy, which, according to the insinuation of W. C. D., claims the exclusive privilege to interpret the con- tents of it (and then to force their “interpreta- tions” down the throats of an unwilling people, ig they have public opinion suMctently on their side to make It a safe business). Aman must bea fool if he cannot interpret anything which will procure for him or his clique power, money, real estate and the first place on public and private tables. The citations of W.C.D., out of the Old Testa- ment are perhaps only intended to show his blind followers how deep he has dived into Bible lore and how brimful he is of kindly sentiment; but for any one else not caring a straw for his office or au- thority it is rather poor stuff, even below the aver- age. And as for the sentimental t waddle, it shows too unmistakably the character of cant merely to serve as a little bit of rhetorical effect, it must be clear to his superiors that he can neither prove nor disprove the immortality of the soul. But let us follow the points of his foolish pleading :—‘‘God breathed into Adam a living soul— that is, life eternal.” (The latter part of this sen- tence is gratuitous and not warranted by the text. It is an “interpretation,” and as W. C. D, insists that that 1s not @ private affair it is fair to preenee that he @ member of the ‘aternity whose aim and end it is to stupefy the peop.e and then rule them with a rod of tron, to intimidate them for safe fleecing.) All organ- ized matter receives and has its animation from the life principle of the universe, which we call by the lation of “God,” and that life principle is eternal. Even chaos must be impregnated with it— does not leave the dead and rotten cadaver which ‘excites our horrence and “nausea, only our ‘osser Senses cannot perceive the new character it takes; for how could it be a “nourishment” for ants if it could impart and sustain no life in hem? But there is no trace of individual con- scious continuation after visible death contained in the truth of this observation, The Ashe of the text is rather unfortunate if not intended to be understood in a literal sense, because it involuntarily starts the ludicrous idea of a boy inflating a bladder. In what way the “burnin bush” proves the immortality of the human sou! seems to be a pretty dark subject, but I suppose it may be “interpreted” by trying very hard and air- ing a good deal of stuff and nonsense. The “Ten Commandments” are the precepts of Moses to form and consolidate a commonwealth of a certain and distinct race, otherwise threatened to be absorbed or be kept in perpetual degradation by the Egyp- tians. The “Ten Commandments” were precepts for the peaceful intercourse of a new formed na- tion, regulating their earthly affairs, principally by incuicating and enjoining love and fear for a supreme spiritual being. And surely any common- wealth has enough work on hand if it means to attend honestly to the oe welfare of ali and every one ol ig members. There is no allusion (without “interpretation”) in the teachings of Moses to a life after death, if you try ever so hard to find any. ‘The quotation of the building of the tower of Ba- Del to prove the immortality of the soul is another bold stroke of the praaree We can see notuing else in it but the childish notions about geography and the form of the earth's surface of the people at that time. Imagining the earth to be a fat disc they naturally conceived the idea of Dip @ mark a6 @ central point for the meetung and col- lection of lyge tp | tribes, Or perhaps it was a clever a of @ first tyrant, who appreciated the principle of centraliz: mn for rulin Purposes. But the idea for the centralization mark came too late, because the tribes living outside the central portion and ancestral stock had been dissevered from it already for such a time that they had Jost their sympathy for the people in the land of their origin, and had consequently formed habits and Modes of communications among themselves, each one in particular to render them incapable hence- forth vo live in permony the 3 each one cursing and scolding in his own dialect and scam- pering Off in disgust with the enterprise. The fable ’ bodily ascension cannot sustained by d to making an ass of him- ree in univefsal space. Be- yond our atmosphere no organized being can live, and whatever it encloses vn to the earth. Where, then, is the heaven tor the body of Elias, or eny' @lse, for all that, to exist? According to the notions of his time, however, there was a plau- sibility for such an assumption. It comes quite natural, according to such a childish understanding. ‘We find there, first, the plain of the earth for ‘mortals; then the firmament, vaulting over is, for abode of the gods or God, according w the varied religious opinions of the time, from the elevation which all creation could be Tong below the earth as “hesven’’ was presumed tote shove the reception and abode of the fate was thus to be wi ony the living—s out from the memory of reary place, unvisited by the “Lord of: f me ae notions of donot he Ww —ane ud shall bo Suninistea is 2 Kah gers ‘foul with the foregoing chimes in the folowing: Idee, remembrance, he got ed with the gods above instead of with the doomed shades below.

Pus e: jng its meaning, immortality of the soul was ht. by the ancient Egyptians, quite plainly and distinctly, as be untnistakably seen in the sculptures and pain 4 on the walls of their tombs ‘on the serolis in hands of the mummies, where Horus is depicted in the act of leading the Series into the august prosanee of Osiris, after deeds, committcd in ‘he earthly lifetime, have been weighed in the scale of “Truth” and approved and down on the tablets of life, The fundamental pines of Christianity ts “brotherly love;" all the rest ia subordinate to this, and only invented to confuse and to create strile among mankind, who otherwise might live peaceably together, This essential, all-important principle is inoulcated over and over again—more than Moses ever enjoined his Sabbath sone all the exhortations of the first teachers, if “brotherly love” ia thus enjoined among men, tt must be presumed there is a “fatherly love” of the Godhead towards all His children alike.

No matter with how much good in- tentions this was done there remains the evasion to solve the problem of justice to man while living. With the tian immortality seemed to be a reward for @ righteous life. With the Christians, instead, it has. nerated into a sop for those who stand outside in the cold and who are pushed back and prevented by the greedy and the The from taking their just share out of the world’s feeding trough. As an adequate com- pensation for this rough treatment the sign of im- mortality is swung to the breeze, and to act generously for once it is offered to them dirt cheap. They may even have it for nothing, as it hasn’t cost @ red cent to the giver. But stop! Those who run the insurance offices incur a good deal of outlay for keeping shop and for advertisements and some luxurious outlays in other places. Where has all tnat to come from? Rothing te easier to solve than that question. Do we not have it black on white, in a documenta! form, that it is easier for a camel to crawl throug! through the eye of a needle than tor a rich man to step into heaven? But the rich man likes every- thing to be piled on rich; he likes superabundance sauce poured on top of his earthly dishes also. Is he not able and willing to pay for his gratification, provided he must do so and cannot get it in any other way? And so botn eyes are shut for not to see the obstruction. The camel is kicked out of the way, the needie’s eye is too small to be seen and there is somebody who pays the expenses, A few words more in answer to the soft part (a ta Honeyman), of the article of W. ©. D. will be sufficient to conclude, as your space in the HERALD is too valuable to give room for mere rigmarole. The love of husband and wife is alloyed to the half with material desire, and it is said “in heaven there will be no marrying nor to be given in mar- Tiage.”” But the love of mother and child? That is altogether disinterested and consequently pure and unalloyed. It is a concentrated love, active in one ming generation. But in heaven (as repre- sented in the old records treating of such affairs), it would be qualified a good deal, because the mother here would assume the character of child to her mother there, and her child, in turn, might be the mother of another child, and so on, ad infinitum; for this concatenation would only end with mother Eve. The representation of the fer- vor of earthly love by appealing to the feeling ef his readers, after an ineffectual address to their understanding, seems to be the clinching process of “W. C.D.” But the drawing of the human love and attachment into one focus, as it were, is des- tined to explode and spread out rather thin ata place where its application was mostly relied on by “W. C. D.? to prove the immortality of the soul. The disinterested honest believer in the point in question can state his convictions next, and that would make it a triangular fight between an in- quirer after truth who cares for no office, a blind believer, and, thirdly, a hired advocate, or, may be, only asimpleton who puts his foot in where angels fear to tread. TRUTH. The Doctrine of the Resurrection. MICHIGAN, Sept. 29, 1872. To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— An article in your paper, written some time since, signed ‘‘Sceptic,” in which he says “nothing can be found in the Bible to prove the doctrine of the resurrection,” seems to have been answered at last, but not fully proved. “Sceptic’? must have read the Bible with a will not to see or be con- vinced, for both Old and New Testaments are full of texts on this subject, and which prove, not the resurrection of the body, but the immortality of the soul. If this mortal puts on immortality—as is plainly shown in St. Paul's Epistle to the Corinth- tans—what need have we to receive again the nat- ural body, any more than the plant should require again the grain or seed from which it sprung? Again, Christ says (St. Luke, xx., 37), “Now that the dead are raised even Moses showed at the bush when he calleth the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, of Isaac and of Jacob, for He is not the God of the dead but of the living—for all live unto Him.” And to the Centurion (St. Mathew, chap. vil., yerse 11) He says:—‘I say unto you many shall come from the East and from the West and shall sit down with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, in the Kingdom of Heaven.” He means those who have faith in his power as the Cen- turion had, Christ also says ‘Let the dead bury their dead,” as if only the dead in faith could deem the body of any consequence. “When Christ, who is our life, shall appear then shall we also appear with Him in glory.’ St. Paul says, ‘We do ear- nestly desire to be clothed upon with our house, which is from heaven.” “If we believe that Jesus died and rose in even s0 them also that sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.” We do earnestly hope “Sceptic” may. be con- vinced, for “if in this life only we have hope. We are of all men most miserable.” Our own comfort in these promises has been so great we cannot bear to think of any one being without such nope. Some years since, after the death of an only, idolized child, we wrote in our journal as follows :—‘uur journey from Lewiston to New York in December was severely cold; but, even at this season, we found much to lift our thoughts above earth and all its trials, The Hudson, at Albany, Was frozen over, and as we walked updn it we could not realize it was the same river we saw last in June, then so full of life, as its blue waves bounded onward to the sea, now so still and cold; yet beneath this frozen form, its waters have but jowed on to mingle with the ocean, and far dis- tant the sun is shining on its waves. So that ecious form lies still and cold in its frozen beauty, but the sou! which gave it life has but passed on to the ocean of eternal bliss, and the smile of God will fi it with ingen Md ! Since then a husband and a babe are gone from earth, but our faith is not shaken. They are but waiting in our Father's house, where we shall join them, and where ‘all tears shall be wiped away.’ They are buried ona far-off ocean shore, and the spot is dear indeed, as holding what were their forms on earth (but a shadow of what they will be when we mect).” There are many verses in the Bfole which read as if those forms would rise again; but we deem it only figurative language. Christ says :—‘In my Father's house are many mansions, it were not sol would have told you.” On this ground we might found such By If it. weré not so He would have old us, ahd he would not pave told us to “lay up for ourselves treasures in Heaven, where neither moth nor rast doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through and steal!” F, H.

Bishop Janes has gone to Palmyra to assist Bishop Peck in presiding at the annual meeting of the Central New York Confer- ence. Bishop Peck is still in feeble health. Rev. Dr. Carlton, late Book Agent here, has been spend- ing several days among friends in the western part of the State, and is now in Rochester at the Conference. Rev. Dr. Blades, of the Detroit Con- ference, having spent his vacation East, left last week for his home in the West. Rev. J. H. Beards- ley, of the Colorado Conference, has obtained ten montns’ leave of absence, which time he intends to spend in Europe, Egypt, Asia Minor and Bible jands, We sailed from this port on Saturday, 2th ult, Rev. B. M, Adams, pastor of Fleet street Methodist Episcopal church, Brooklyn, has been very ill since*his return from Europe. His physicians say his sickness is the result of the severe sea sickness which he expert- enced coming across the Atlantic, The preach- ers of the California Conference, at its late session, raised $26,000, and a few friends gave $14,000 more, to endow the Pacidc University. The Rev. Professor Comfort, of Syracuse University, has been spending a few days in this city in the interest Of that institution.

He also bequeaths $12,000 anda lot for the erection of a church, and provides for a free school, with an annuity of $600 for a teacher. BAPTIST, The installation of Rev. 8. G. Woodrow over the Park Street Freewill Baptist church, Providence, R, L, will occur to-day. The outery raised by the Close Communion Baptists against Rev. George F. Pentecost, of tlangon Place church, Kiyn, has led others to think that perhaps he would be look- ing for a church very soon. |The Warren Avenue Baptist church, of Boston, therefore, took the lead and gave him acallearly. He declined, but as the close communionists continued their unohristian comments upon his conduct the Boston church re- newed its call. Mr. Pentecost therefore laid the matter before the trustees and members of the Hanson Place church a few days ago, and they to- gether ger a declared that they did not want him to go, This ought to be considered a suilicient rebuke to his opponents, who think that they possess all there is of Baptist theology, and while they strain at a gnat swallow a camel. Rev. Henry Angell, for five years pastor of the Sixth Street church. in this city, has closed his labors with them after a very useful ministry. Rev. J. A. Chambliss, late of Richmond, has been called to the South Baptist church of this city; but he has ac- cepted the call of the Citadel church, in Charleston, 8. 0. Rev. 8. Alman, pastor of the Baptist Emanuel chapel, corner of Grand and Clinton Streets, baptized three converts during the past month, Quite a number now are inquiring. Mr. Alman 18 @ converted Jew and is doing rae work among his former people. The Baptists of La- fayette, Ind., have adopted Methodist class meet- sy without the name. When a convert is admit- ted and baptized the church assigns him to the care of some experienced member, whoge duty it shall be to watch over and instruct him, and who shall be called upon once in two months, or oftener, to inform the church of the spiritual condition of his charge. Were this usage general, says a Baptist exchange, tt would bea great blessing to our churches, alike to the new con- verts and to the older members, who now suffer for want of something todo, Rev. P, L. Davies, pastor of the Berean church of this city, tendered his re- signation on Sunday last, to take effect November 1, A8S @ preacher he has gained more than usual attention, and in his pastoral work has been very assiduous. Rev. L, C. Pattengill resigns after a seven years’ service the pastorate at Litchfleld, Mich., and removes to Ann Arbor. Rey. Henry D. Davies removes to Monticello, N. Y., having been “retired” at the age of seventy-one by a generous Baptist layman, who proposes to sce to it that his declining years are years of peace and plenty. EPISCOPALIAN, The Rey. William H. Hopkins, for twelve years a most useful and acceptable minister in the Metho- dist Church South, was recently confirmed in Trinity church (Episcopal), St. Louis, and has been admitted a candidate for holy orders, In Advent church, Boston, ritualistic worship can be seen in perfection. The altar end {s as Romish as any one could desire. A huge gilded cross, a flaming altar and super-altar, two candelabras with seven candles each, two huge candles on the ends, in true Catholic style, give the appearance of an chapel, A surpliced nae of men and boys gather in the vestibule, To ‘the sound of music the pro- cession marches at funeral pace to the altar. Yet Boston cares little for this. On a bright, ty te day, the yawning galleries contained not a soul. The body of the house was oe half full. Tne Rev. William R. Huntington, of Worcester, Mass., has been invited to take charge of the American Epis- copal chapel in Paris. The Rey.

Bishop Johns, of Virginia, has issued @ pastoral letter to his diocese asking that December 30 be observed mer ig of special pra yer to God to raise up missionaries for heathen ands. The Archbishop of Dublin has “aamon- ished” the Rey. Dr. Maturin, incumbent of Grange- gorman, for ritualistic practices in turning his back toward the congregation while he broke the bread for the Sacrament. Dr, Maturin does not acknowl- edge the jurisdiction of his superior in this matter, and clings to his offensive practices, PRESBYTERIAN. The Rev, E. M.

Aldrich, formerly a missionary resident in India, but now stationed in Revere, delivered a lecture in the hall of the Young Men’s Christian Union, Boston, last Sunday evening, upon “Cnris- tlanity and Heathenism in India,” which consisted ol a review of life in India as seen by the speaker himself. He drew a gloomy picture of the present condition of the city of Calcutta and country, owin, to the misrule of Great Britain, It was his candi opal that the chief obstacle to the growth of true Christianity lay in the fact that the natives were oppressed and maltreated by the English officials, The members of Mr. Hepworth’s Old Church of the Messiah have been ten months look- ing for a pastor and cannot find one to suit. When Dr. Osgood went into the Episcopal Church Mr. Hepworth was the only man in the denomination who seemed able to meet the crisis, The two most popular ministers in the Unt- tarian denomination are the Colliers, and both of these men were trained in the Methodist Church and have not lost their old fervor and earnestness.

The Jewish Messenger says there are “nothingarians” in the Jewish as there are in other religious communities, and they include bankers and lawyers and such like who will not close their business places on the Sab- bath or holidays, The Messenger thinks that there are not less than Sigh thousand Jews in New York because the New Year holidays found upwards of thirty synagogues crowded to excess, and there were at least twenty temporary shrines opened for the solemn season, all full to re- letion. In the eastern section of the city, from Fourteenth to Seventieth stree'y there were ten minor halls fitted up as synagogtes and all were full. The majority of those attending these tem- porary fanes seldom visit the synagogue through- out the year; but the solemn period has its effect even on them, and they assemble in public worship, THIRTY-FOURTH STREET SYNAGOGUE. plant alee Cae The Day of Atonement and Its Obliga- tions—Removing Stumbling Blocks Out of the Way and Doing Good. Yesterday was the eve of the Jewish Day of Atone- ment, as well as their regular Sabbath. The syna- g@ogues were consequently crowded, and Thirty- fourth street synagogue especially. The ark and the scrolls of the Law, the rabbies and their reading desks, were clothed in clean linen, pure and white. A large number of members wore, instead of hats, white linen caps, either trimmed with lace or almost wholly composed of that material, Tne.ser- vices were very long, and, to a Gentile, not very in- teresting. Dr. Vidaver preached on the duties of men toward God, toward themselves, their families and mankind generally. His text was Isaiah, Ivii., 14—“‘And He shall say, cast up, cast up, gather out the stones, remove the stumbling blocks out of the way of my people.” This day, he said, has been looked upon as a preparation for the Day of Atonement. It lies between it and the New Year, and is, as it were, a day of reconciliation between God and our own’ hearts. We must all meet the day of retribution soon, and must listen to the call, “Set thine house in order, for thou must die, and not live.” Would to God, he said, that every one who heard him would listen to this sum- Mons of death as to the sound of melodious music and learn to anticipate the grave. We are all destined to the tomb; yet no man wants to die, but rather to live long on the earth. Even those to whom life is nothing but a troubled sea, they do not wish to die. And why should men want to die? Look at the morning of life beaming with eases and joy, and who would like to see the golden cord of life broken then? Notone., And in old age there are elements of joy in that age, and men cling to it and don’t wish to die. The man of faith, who knows that this life is but a fleeting shadow, does not wish to die, becanse he wants to live to bring up his children in the fear of the Lord, The Doctor then spoke about the stumbling blocks that have to be taken out of men’s own hearts, out of the way of their children, and out of the way of their neighbors. He directed their attention to the kind of education needed for children and the kind of legacy which parents shouid leave to them. What, he asked, would a man gain who should sell his own or his children’s souls for mammon? The true riches are above, but to reach them we must cast the stumbling blocks out of the way, and prepare the way of the Lord. And this must be done not only at this season of the year, but at all times. How this may be done was also pointed out Ld Dr. Vidaver, who illustrated this branch of his subject by a very neat reference, indirectly, to what the late Mrs, Leo had done for aged Israelites in this city. And he wanted others to go and do likewise. LAYING THE OORNER STONE OF AN ENGLISH LUTHERAN CHUROH IN TRENTON, Yesterday afternoon a respectable gathering of people assembled in Taylor street, near Broad, to ‘witness the laying of the corner stone of the new Lutheran church, of Trenton. Several well-known clergymen were in attendance, among whom were noticed the Revs. J. A, Kinkelman, ©. W. Shaeffer and J. W. Mann, of Philadelphia, and G. F.

Dr. Bayley, of Newark, as Archbishop of Baltimore, THE PROGRAMME OF CEREMONIES. Conferring the Pallinm and Reeciving the Oath of the New Ineumbent. Historical Resume of the Works of Carroll, Neale, Marechal, Whitfield, Eocleston, Kendrick and Spalding. Baurmors, Oct, 12, 1872, Baltimore will to-morrow witness one of the most solemn and impressive ceremonies of the Catholic Church, the occasion being the installation of the Right Rev. Bishop Bayley, of .Newark, N, J., as Archbishop of Baltimore, under the Brief of Pius IX. of July 30, 1872, ‘This city now possesses a historic intcrost, not only as the Monumental City, but also as the Prima- tia! See of the Roman Catholic Church in the United States. Although constituted a Bishopric as early as 1790, it was not elected into an Archiepiscopal See until 1808. It is named after the frst Lord Bal- timore, George Calvert, whose brother Leonard was chief of the Pilgrim Fathers of Maryland and first Governor of the province under the charter granted’ by Charles I. It was the little band of 200 Catholic immigrants whom the adventurous spirit of Calvert guided over the stormy deep in the Ark and the Dove that laid broad and deep the great princl- ples of constitutional liberty in Maryland and first unfurled above its virgin soll the bright banner of civil and religious freedom, giving a cordial wel- come on the shores of the Chesapeake to all men, of whatever creed or nationality. There are twenty-five Catholic churches. among which the massive Cathedral, with its lofty dome and symmetrical towers, stands conspicuously in the very heart of the city, It contains also many Catholic institutions of charity, The most promi- nent of these are St. Mary’s, St, Vincent’s and St. Patrick’s Orphan Asylums: ; the Home of the Little. Sisters of the Poor, the Baltimore Infirmary, the Convent of the Good Shepherd, St. Joseph's German Hospital, St. Anthony’s Asylum and the houses of industry. Baltimore contains a popu- lation of nearly three hundred thousand souls, a large proportion of whom are Catholics. At the time of the first provincial council—held here in 1820—the Catholic hierarchy of the United States consisted of only ten bishops. Now there are seven archbishops and about sixty bishops within the limits of the Union. The growth of the Church in this country has been truly marvellous, far exceed- ing the ratio of increase in population. Since the jormation of the government our Catholic popula- tion has increased from twenty-five thousand to about six millions, The installation of an Archbishop is always an event of absorbing interest to the Catholic com- munity. The ceremonies attending it are notin some respects so solemn and impressive as the consecration of a prelate of that dignity, being more simple and much briefer. They are, nevertheless, quite imposing, and partake of the sublime grandeur with which the Church invests all her solemnities, In the case of the transter of a bishop from a diocese to an archdiocese—as in the case of Right Rev. James Roosevelt Bayley, D. D.—there is no act of consecration performed, that having been already accomplished in_ his installation as bishop; but, by the reception of the paliium and the taking of a new oath of allegiance to the Holy See, he is ele- vated in dignity and his jurisdiction is enlarged, A PROPHETIO INVESTITURE. A few months before the venerable and lamented Archbishop Spalding died he playfully put his gola cross around the neck of Bishop Bayley, and re- markea, at will soon be yours. Here is the Archbishop of Baltimore |”? To-day the prediction of the great and good prelate will be verified, and the former beloved Bishop of Newark will be in- vested with the highest dignity in the Roman Catholic Church of the United stat THE NEW ARCHBISHOP. Archbishop Bayley is the eighth in the illustrious line of his predecessors, arfd, judging from the wise and successful manner in which he administered the affairs of his late diocese, will prove himself not among the least of the eminent prelates that have presided over the Archdiocese of Baltimore. Al- though now in the filty-ninth year of hisage, he pos- sesses a robust and vigorous ayer an industry that never wearies in [apne wor! nd an adminis- trative capacity of the highest order. He isa native of New York, and on his father’s side is descended from a distinguished English family. His ancestors on the mother’s side are the celebrated Dutch family of Roosevelts, his aunt being the famous Mother Setow. In 1835 he graduated with distinc- tion at Trinity College, Hartford, Conn. ; entered the Episcopal ministry, and was for some eighteen months rector of St. Andrew's church at Harlem. In 1841 he visited the Continent of Europe, and in the following year was received into the Catholic Church at Rome. Having finished his theological studies at St. Sulpice, in Paris, he re- turned to this country and was ordained priest by Bishop Hughes, in 1844. He was then appointed Vice President and afterwards President of St. John’s College, at Fordham, and for a brief time was parish priest of Staten Island. In December, 1846, Te was chosen by Bishop Hughes as his secre- tary, and while in this position wrote a very interesting “Sketch of tne History of the Catholic Church on the Island of New York,” the “Life of Right Rev. Simon Gabriel braté,” and ‘Sketches of the French Revo- lution.” These works display great learning, and are written in a charming Le bed of elegance. On the 30th of October, 1863, he was consecrated Bishop of Newark by Monsigneur Bedini, Papal Nuncio. The Diocese of Newark is filled with monuments of his apostolic zeal, reared durin, the nineteen years of his wonderfully successful administration. Among them may be mentioned Seton Hall College, at South Orange; the Acade- mies of the Sisters of Charity, at Madison; the Benedictine Priory, at Newark; the Benedictine Convent, at Elizabeth; the Passionist Convent, at West Hoboken; the Jesuits, at St. Peter's, Jersey City, besides various churches and ‘parochial schools throughout the diocese. By no means the least of rtant labors has been his zealous and suc- cessful propagation of the cause of temperance. He is justly regarded as the leading champion of the cause in the United States. THE PAPAL BRIEF, The Brief of His Holiness, Pius IX., transferring Bishop Bayley to the See of Baltimore, bears date the 30th of July, 1872, and the pallium with which he will be invested with so much solemnity to-day was sent by the Holy Father through the ds of Bishop Becker, of Wilmington, Del., who returned from Europe in the early part of last month. THE THIRD CONVERT. It is a noteworthy fact that in the brilliant linc of the archbishops of Baltimore Bishop Bayley is the third convert to the Catholic faith, Archbishop Whitfield betng the first and Archbishop Eccleston the second, HIS PREDECESSORS. Baltimore was erected into “an Episcopal See forever” by the Papal Bull of Pius V1, of Novem- ber 6, 1789. By the same Bull Rev. John Carroil was appointed first bishop. feet 4 Carroll was consecrated in England Augus' 15, 1790, and on the 9th of December of the same year was installed in St. Peter’s church, Sara- toga street, a building since demolished, and the site of which Is now occupied by Calvert Hall. He officiated at the laying of the corner stone of the present Cathedral, July 7, 1806. It was not until the 8th of April, 1808, that Baltimore was erected into an Archi epcopal See, and the Sees of New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Bardstown were estab- Ushea as suffagrans to Baltimore. Dr. Carroll, Bishop and Archbishop, presided over this venera- ble See for twenty-five years. He died in the odor ol sanctity on the 3d of December, 1815, and was buried with im ing solemnities in the chapel of the Seminary of St. Sulpice, Baltimore, whence his remains were transferred in 1821 to the crypt of the Cathedral, which was completed in that year. Rev. Leonard Neale, who was consecrated by Bishop Carroll as Coadjutor December 7, 1800, suc- ceeded him in the archiepiscopal office, but, being in very delicate health, soon followed his illustrious redecessor to the tomb. He died on the 15th of june, 1817, and, in compliance with his expressed Wish, Was buried in the chapel of the Visitation fsb at Georgetown, D. 0., which he had founded. Pope Pius VII. selected Rev. Ambrose Martchal, D. D., as successor to Archbishop Neale, He was consecrated in St. Peter’s church by Bishop Chev- — of Boston, December 14, 1817. One of the most notable events of the administration of Arch- bishop Marechal was the solemn dedication b; of the Cathedral, which ace on the sist of 4 1821. This distinguished prelate died on the 20th of January, 1828, and his honored remains were deposited beside thase of the illustrious Carroll. ev. James Whitfeld. D.

The seven and a half years is administiation were marked by a wonderful advancement of the interests of the Church in the Archdiocese, Twice he was summoned to Rome by the Holy Father—first in 1867, to attend the centenary of Saints Peter avd Paul, and again im 1869, to participate in the important dk of the great Ecumenical Council, of which he one of most prominent members, He was the leadi champion in the Goundil: of the doctrine of Papal fnfailibility, and his great pastoral letter. x) that subject is regarded by eminent Catholic div a8 one of the ablest and most conclusive arguments in defence of the dogma. He presided over the second Plenary Council of Baltimore in 1866, the tenth Provincial Coungil in 1869, After an ilt- hess of eight weeks he died on the 7th of Febru- ary, 1872, aud wag buried with all the solemn and impressive rites of the Church, His remains rest among those of his eminent predecessors, in the crypt of the Cathedral. uch is @ brief record of the illustrious prelates of this Archdiocese, of whom Archbishop Bayley is the worthy successor. THE WELOOMR, And to-morrow, on this second Sunday of the second Autumnal month, in the venerable Cathedrag which has been the scene of so many alternate joyful and sorrowful ceremonials—where but a iew Months since the solemn notes of “De Profundis’? were chanted over the inanimate body of the saintly Spalding, will be heard the cheerful song of “Te Deum” in heartfelt welcome of the gifted Bay- ley to the vacant throne of the Archbishopric of Baltimore. THE RITES OF THE CHURCH. The public ceremonies of the Roman Cathotie Chureh on occusious like the present are always invested with a pomp and splendor well calculated to dazzle the eyes touch the hearts of the multitude. To. the uninitiated many of these brilliant ceremonials are.full of mystery; but to the well-instructed Catholic they convey a solemn and impressive les- son. Everything that he sees and hears has a deep and significant meaning, The tapers that biase upon the altar, the flowers that shed their perfume ground it, the crucifix placed upon its summit, the pictures and statues that adorn the sanctuary, ‘the vestments of the officiating priest, the music that floats through the chu.ca in wave after wave of es A et? sa all CA shee non a the oil¢ of the great mysteries of religion, and un- fold to his contemplation a world of heavenly beauty. In the little taper he sees the light of faith; in the perfume of the flowers he breathes the sweet odor of charity; in the image of his crucified Saviour he reads the history of Calvary, illumined with the bright rays of hope; in the pictures and statues he beholds the glory of the saints; in the vestments of the priest he sees the emblems of the suffering God-man, and in the sweet strains music he hears the voices of the angels, So in the installation of an Archbishop there are cerémonies which to the uninformed are involved in impenetrable mystery; but how clear, how it- telligible, how beautiful they appear when fully ex- plained and understood! g THE PALLIUM. This is made of white lamb’s wool, spotted witk purple crosses, and is worn upon the shoulders of the Archbishop, with a label hanging down the breast and back. It denotes the spiritual jurisdic- tion of the metropolitan over the churches of the rovince. Rev. Alban Butler, in a foot note to the “Life of St. William, Archbishop of York, England,” who received the pallium from Pope Anastati ius IV, about the middle of the twelfth century, observes that this sacred ornament is regarded as an em- "lem of humility, charity and innocence, and serves to put the prelate in mind that ‘he is bound to seek out and carry home on shoulders the strayed sheep, in imitation Christ, the Good Shepherd and Prince of Pastors. Cardimal Bona says that the white lambs are blessed on the Festival of St. Agnes, in her church on the Nomentan road, and from that time kept in some nunnery till they are shorn; and of wool are the pailiums made, which are laid over the tomb of St. Peter the whole ight of the vigil before the feast of that Apostle. The sends one to each archoishop in the Western Patriarchate after their election and consecration; but t prelates only wear them in the church daring 61 divine ofice. Palliums are also granted to apos- tolic legates, and to certain suffragan bishops of exempt Sees, as of Bamoug, in Germany, and Lucca and Pavia in Italy. THE FIRST USE of palliums by bishops is mentioned among the Orientals. St. Isidore, of Pelusium, explains at large various mystical signitications of this orna- ment, In the West Pope Symmachus sent a pal- lium to Cesarlus, Archbishop of Arles, his vicar im Gaul, in the beginning of the sixth century. From that time we usually find it sent to apostolic legates, likewise to several metropolitans, as rok ars from the letters of St. Gregory the Gi ter de Marca shows that it was not granted Promiscuously to all metropolitans before the decree of Pope Zachary, by which it was established a general law. The pallium ancienfly an en- tire long garment, covering the whole body the neck, not unlike a priest’s cape, saving that tt was shut up before, Instead of the pailium the Greek bishops now all wear the omophorion or humerale, which is a broad ribbon hanging around the neck, across the breast and below the knees. Spelman in his glossary, Thomassin and others show taat a palllum was a mantle worn by the Roman emperors, and that the first Christian em- rors gave this imperial ornament to eminent shops to wear as an emblem of the royalty of the Christian priesthood. 1t was afterwards appro- Ppriated to archbishops to show their dignity and to command greater respect, as God prescribed bok phan ornaments to be worn by the Jewish High ries! ¥ So sacred is the pallium regarded that it can be used by the archbishop-—-First, only within the churches of his province; second, only while he is celebrating mass, and, third, only upon fixed days, which are prescribed by the Holy See. The paliium is always worn over the chasuble. It must be asked for anew by every new prelate, the previous one being buried with the dead archbishop. If the deceased archbishop be buried within his province the pallium is placed over the chasuble, the same a8 at mass; if not, itis folded w d placed under his head in the coifin. Thatof the living archbis! when noton his person is kept in a box. cove! with silk, poomaly embroidered, and is ir handled reverentiy, inasmuch as it ts full of myst cal meaning, and is the venerable insignia of the archbishop himself. THE CEREMONIAL. In conferring the pallium beyond the limits of the Roman Curia it is customary for the Sovereign Pontiff to delegate a bishop to perform the cere- mony in his name. On an appointed day all those who are to take part in the solemnity meet in the Metropolitan church. Mass is celebrated, and after the communion of the celebrant the pallium is spread out on the middle of thealtar and covered with the silk veil in which it is Wrought trom Rome. At the end of mass the celebrating prelate, i he be the Koa oe as it is beit- ting he _— should a tekes his seat on a faedstool at the epistle side of the altar, and is there vested in amice, stole and cope, wearing a plain mitre. The Archbishop, clad in lull pontifical (gloves and mitre excepted), then kneels at his feet and takes the oath of fy | to the Holy See, concinding with the words, “So he me God and these Holy Evangels of God,” to w! the officiating Bishop answers, ‘Thanks be to God. After the oath the celebrating prelate arises and takes from the altar the pallium, which he places upon the shoulders of the Archbishop, saying, “To the honor of Almighty God and of the Blessed Mary ever Virgin and of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul, of our Lord Pius IX. and of the Holy Roman Charch and of the Church of Baltimore committed to thy charge, we give thee this pallium gi from the body of blessed Peter), in which is the plenitude of the Pontifical Ofice, with the name of Archbishop, that thou mayest use it within thy church upon certain days, as set down among the privileges granted by the Apostolic See. In the Dame of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost—Amen.” At the close of this investiture the boty 4 prelate retires to the Gospel aide of the altar and the Archbishop, rising, ascends to the altar and solemnly blesses the people, the cross: being before him, In the imposing solemnities to-morrow these ceremonials will be faithfully carried out. ST. JOSEPH’S HOME, The Saint Joseph’s Home, which owes its founde- tion to Miss E. Kelly, who ated a lot of ground in West Fifteenth street to the sistera of charity, im now completed, and affords accommodation for 250 inmates. It was founded as a home for desti- tute old women and a nursery for the reception of mn whose parents may be obliged to en, fm outdoor employment.
