Dr. Chapin on Unselfish Goodness—In- viting the Poor and the Halt to the Feast.

HEPWORTH UPON THE WINGS OF THE WIND, The Gospel’s March Across the Continent. 8T, STEPHEN'S CHURCH. Sermon by the Rev. Father Glack. myer—Faith and Morals—Progress of the Mission = The Crowds in the Church. ‘The mission which was opened at St. Stephen’s ‘churchon Sunday, November 3, has been, 60 far, a great success. Thousands of persons have been induced by the eloquent appeals of the Jesuit Jathers to approach the sacraments, At all the masses each evening during the week numbers of people attended and the exhortations and sermons Were listened to by audiences which filled the church in every part. Yesterday morning at the high mass so dense were the crowds in attendance ‘that the aisles were filled with people «able to get seats. At the usual hour of the mass, which was cele- brated by the Rey. Father McQuirk, the Rev. Father Glackmyer, on whom devolves the most jaborious share of the missionary work, ascended the pulpit, and after announcing the order of ger- vices for the ensuing week preached an able dis- course from the Gospel of the day, the twenty-fifth Bunday after Pentecost—Matthew xili., 24, 30, The parable containea in the Gospel is a simple one, butit is full of profound instruction. It puts before our eyes the state of society, good and bad. The eye alone sees where the wheat is and where the cockle, Exteriorly the world is harmony, but the all-discerning eye—the Almighty—sees where is the good and where is the bad. As Xneas in the tloud saw the queen, though she saw him not, so, \f'we might use the simile, God sees all of us, though we see Him not. What is the field spoken Of in the Gospel’ That field 1s the Church which Christ came on earth to establish—the Church which is the sponse of Christ. When Christ estab- Ushed His Church the field was barren and full of Uhistles; at that time, as Bossuet says, “all was God but God himself.” The god that reigned was the god that ruled at Rome. It was a reign of sensuality, of self-love, of pride. Anctent philoso- phy has spoken beautiful words, but they are for he ear and not for the heart. The Saviour’s words are truth, made for the heart, intended to lead us to salvation, In givingus His love He did not use words that wouid teach us the comforts of the world. He knew His words would bear their own testimony. We are now engaged in a spiritual mission. Let us inquire who it was that sowed the cockle in your hearts. At baptism faith was infused into our souls. Anenemy has come to disturb you— it is yourselves, your pride, self-will, sensuality and self-love. You have allowed Fi! faith to waver, perhaps because you feared the judgment of your neighbor, perhaps because the yoke was too heavy for your shoulders; perhaps because jsp reason, in pride, rebelled against faith. You ave been wavering because you allowed the wheat and the cockle to grow together in your heart, and both weakened each other. Christ has given His blood that you might have faith, Why did He not, when He came on earth, bring the aid of the princes of the world to found His Church ? Could He not have added something to the facility and security of its establishment had He brought down some of the angels from heaven to insure a belie! in His teachings * But He asked no aid from those of the world. the world in the work of founding a dom. The strength of the Church words, in His life, in His promises, on that valor of its children which shames its ene- mies and finally triumphs. It grew from the num- ber of the disciples until it embraced all the world and until its spirit ruled the hearts of all men. In establishing such a kingdom of souls Christ did not ask the ald of worldly princes or kings, nor has the Church ever asked the assistance of the world in pS hen | its supremacy. ‘The first of moral feachings is to love the Lord thy God with th, whole heart and soul and thy neighbor as thyself, for the love of God, God requires of us to love Him and to love our neighbor, and here we have the precept which embodies the Christian’s rule of life. But to love the Lord it is necessary to con- quer one’s self. It is necessary if we want to follow Christ that we take up our cross as He himself tells us. We must deny ourselves {n many things, that our hearts may be pure enough to be one with His. We must walk in the paths of virtue, with- out fear or faltering, trusting not to ourselves, but to Him who gives help when it is sought for, and who sends us triais but for triumphs. In all 'rela- tions of life the great first eae should be steadily kept in view—Love God and thy neighbor; love thy neighbor that you may please God, and do tono man that which you would not wish to be done to yourselves; and “servants, serve thy masters.” This is the teaching of Christ, which, In the past was observed, and thea there were no distracting conflicts, such as nowadays seem to be looming up, perhaps to take most serious shape in coming tumes, During this mission, when God showers upon those who seek them His most abundant graces, let us implore that any of you who are in sin shall throw off the yoke of Satan and be re- freshed again with that interior peace which is to be found alone in Brace.

Hepworth, The congregation at Steinway Hall yesterday morning divided its attention between Rev. George H. Hepworth and five or six Indians who were seated (nthe front row. The text was Revelations, v., 9— “For thou wast slain and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood,” &c. The oldest document of the Church, he began, is that which teaches that the Life 4nd death of Jesus occupy an important place in the salvation of nan. That doctrine ts the basis of all Chureh action; it is the inspiration of ¢ There is some intimate connection between lyour Acceptance of the principle and God's acce plance le sought no assistance from | It relies too | e deserving of the highest praise for | Miss Emma Howson, the | rand, Was scarcely ever in better voice and the | good. | maimed, the lame, the blind, and thou shalt be blessed, for they cannot recompense thee, but thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.’? Jesus on the occasion of the utterance of these words was eating bread on the Sabbath day at the house of a Pharisee, and it is an apt illus- tration of His using THE THINGS CLOSE AT HAND to enforce a lesson. The feast He has here made an occasion for lessons to the Pharisees, to the people at large and to His host. The lesson is the one great lesson of unselfish goodness. We must fully under- stand the scope of these words:—‘“Call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind.” They cannot be interpreted to prohibit the ordinary interchange of social life, the festive gatherings of friends about the table. The Scripture in this sense must not be taken literally. But there is no virtue in THESE SOCIAL INTERCHANGES . of friendship. They weigh nothing as Christian virtues. There is no call for seif-denial in them nor room for unselfish goodness. They follow merely the easy current of reciprocity and are as natural elements of life as eating and sleeping. But as tests of Christian discipline and character they must be excluded, as without that spirit of comprehensive love which embraces all the inter- ests of humanity. ‘The great principle involved in the present teaching of Christ is charity. The spirit in which the feast is given is to be mainly re- garded. A life of unselfish goodness, if not accom- panied by THE REQUISITE SPIRIT OF CHARITY, availeth nothiag. For, says the Apostle Pau), “Though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.’ The spirit in which the feast is given is therefore commended, and thus the power of giving feasts to the poor is not confined to the rich alone. The poorest and humblest, if he have but the requisite charity, may make his life a continuous feast for the poor. THE UNIVERSAL QUESTION of life ts, “In what consists the of life? A man must be careless and thoughtless indeed who never asks himself the question. It is out of this secret spring that flows all the good we have of this life, the great industries, the nd structures, the wonderful inventio! the pl thropist’s” work, the Christian’s prayer. Money and gain are merely counters in the game of life, from which is to be ex- tracted some practicable good. All things, how- ever seemingly unfit, represent some good purpose, Life ought not to be a curse to any man. He may make it 0, or others may make it for him, but it fs not the grand intention, the sublime end of crea- cee that any man’s life should be useless or bur- jensome, THE GOODS OF THE WORLD are vacillating, fleeting. They are seized by fire, as we have just heard, and that which we thought as strong ana substantial almost heaven itself slips away and becomes ashes in a moment. Man’s Passions often fool him till some quaim of con- science disenchants him or the senses themselves, in vindication of their violated laws, destroy the illusion, Man may have developed from the ani- mal, he may be a blossoming of the animal creation, but by his inner consctousness, his intel- lectual age his mental development, he is not wholly an animal. The insect in its intricate palace of a shell ora bulb, the catttle inthe pas- ture, are all alike enfolded under God’s fostering care, and all ajike are given the joys of existence that may be comprised within an entirely animal existence. But to comprehend man compressing SOURCES OF ENJOYMENT within his animal nature is a diMcult matter. Something even of the drunkard—the sot, the brute as we call him—even amid his more sensual indulgences, quivers with immortal fire, and con- vinces us that there is something better than the mere animal even inbim. No man, degrading his mental to his sensual nature, can live out the meaning of his life. But add to this THE POWER OF KNOWLEDGE, the love of truth, and we have even deeper sup- plies of ood. ‘The knowledge that has discovered new worlds in science, in botany, in chemistry—the minds that can trace history in a pebble, that can appreciate the mystery and glory of a violet or a Tose, or by rare induction, can bridge the star- stream gulf of space—who can measure the | of which such minds are capable? A sensual life is thoroughly selfish. Whatever it may do, although it may redound to public benefit, is done on! for self. A thoroughly selfish man becomes a living tomb of selfish passions, 4 SARCOPHAGUS OF EGOTISM. But it is anotable fact that the enjoyments of life are mostly increased by imparting them. Tne painter, ihe sculptor, the writer, when the glory of anew vision or anewidea has entered their | minds, hasten by picture or statue or book to im- | part the pleasure to their fellows, and who will say the pleasure is not enhanced by the sharing of | it?

That man who complacently believes that while he and a favored few who devotedly follow the tenets of his par- ticular religion will be saved and the great mass of human creatures about may be swept by the besom of destruction into lakes of everlasting fire, and thanks God that he is saved, may have religion, but he has not goodness, and Christianity is essentially the religion of unselfish goodness, 8T, PATRIOK’S CATHEDRAL, Sermon by the Rev. Father Farley—De- votion to the Blessed Virgin. ‘The services at tne Cathedral yesterday were of the usual impressive character. The music was very fine, indeed exceedingly so, The duet (bari- tone and soprano) of “Bow Down Thine Ear, Oh Lord” was magnificently rendered, and as for the grand chorus, which Mr. Schmidt must have been training for along time unknown to anybody not in the secrets of the church, too much praise can- not be given. The sermon was preached by the Rev. Father Farley, who took for his text the first chapter of the Gospel according to St. Luke.

LYRIC HALL Rev. O, B. Frothingham on Visions of Heaven. The interior of Lyric Hall presented yesterday morning rather a striking appearance. Its ceiling ‘Was almost completely hid by a scaffolding, and the wall just opposite the entrance door was covered by planking. The attendance was large. Mr. Frothingham announced as the subject of his discourse, “A Vision of Heaven.’ He commenced by asserting that there is no religious conviction 80 widely spread and deeply rooted as a belief in the moral law. One of the oldest books of the World déclares that the evil man mourns in this World and the world tocome. He suffers as he treads the evil way and when he afterwards con- templates his sins. It seems as if this belief were absolutely ineradicable. The Old and the New Testaments are full of it. So profound is this belief in the mora! law that men expect to see it vindicated instant by instant, But if the Judgment Day come not in this world it will in the next; and 80 the first vision of judgment is a vision of pain in the world to come, Jesus describes the final abode of the wicked as in utter darkness and filled with groans and gnashing of teeth; but this vision has gradually paled, and in its place comes “the judgment of remorse.” It is this that Keeps the murderer awake while othera are sleeping. There are no burning lakes, no demons lying await, no groans of the tortured: but the worm gnaws within, the flame smoulders within, and the voice ig never pear nt never stopped, until the man is distracted. The power of remorse is somethin; frightful; it is the suul tearing its own vitals. I changes the man’s mien and gait. It makes him suspicious of his friend and fearful of his foe. He dare not think of the goodness of God, The wrath of God drives him mad. The vision of pain is bru- talizing. This vision of moral suffering is divine ; but it not the final vision of judgment. Itis said that the enchantress Circe changea men into swine. She gave them good styes, full troughs and pene of filth in which to wallow. Theswine were equently happy. They were in @ swine's para- dise. They had lost all remembrance of wi'e and home, adventure and aspiration. This, the most awfal of visions, is the vision of classification, % is paralysis, coma. Under this head the idler, who coy wastes his time, He is troubled with no duty. He hears of the reformer straining ever, ola pnOW Then comes profligate. is &@ young man, gay, eager. He falls into temptation. Tt lelights him, because he fears no evil. That young man, despite of the warnings of friends, sinks deeper and deeper. He listens to the obscene story and laughs at the ribald jest. He enjoys no companion but the licentious. Next comes the vision of fraud. A man has been compelled to sin, To con- ceal that sin requires a multitude. He throws in his lot with those who live by robbery and violence. His whole life is an offence, and this judgment of classification is the final judgment. The vision of pain is sensual and offensive; the vision of re- morse is, perhaps, an illusion; but this is a fact. ALL SOULS’ CHURCH, Sermon by the Rev. Dr. Bellows—The Stays of Human Life and Hope—The Boston Fire. At Dr. Bellows’ church yesterday morning there was a very large congregation, and as they are largely composed of people of New England ex. traction it was but natural that they should be- tray, as they palpably did, evidences of grief and sorrow at the terrible calamity that had overtaken the city of Boston. The services were unusually earnest, and the prayer was exception" ally long. The good Doctor’s voice trembled as he alluded to the fire and ruin that had swept so much earthly treasure out of existence during the past mght, and many of his hearers wept and sobbed audibly. The ser- mon had for its subject the stays with which God had surrounded us. Dr. Bellows traced with singular eloquence the interdependence ef hu- man lives, In our childhood this was es- pecially strong. Who could estimate the influence upon us of the affection that grew up between brothers and sisters? And, again, the Friendships of boyhood and youth, how sweet and sacred these were in all good and pure lives! Not long since the preacher had been present at a reunion of his old Sreagee ge class. a of those present had seen little of each other pene the forty years that had elapsed since they had left school for the business of life, yet they Were all drawn together by the spell of the associations and memories of the joys and sorrows of their four years’ course in Q specially close and intimate companionship. While, however, it was clearly God’s purpose that these Pooh and buiwarks should be given to us, it was equally clearly His purpose that they should be broken and changed. As we grew older one by one they fell away irom us, and in the decline of life there was a tendency in each individual to iso- late himself from his fellows and live within himself, This was to be resisted as much as possible in most cases, but the beneil- cence of the moral law that prompted it was plain. The leaves fell from the tree in the Autumn be- cause they could not resist the blasts of Winter, and by falling they fertilized the soiland gave strength to the roots of the tree. So with the man. The memory of friends and kindred, if his re‘ations with them had been ordered by purity and goodness, had a sacred and Lean d anfiu- ence, while the removal of these accustomed props educated him to see that his only sure re- Hance in life and in death Was upon God, Dr. Bellows closed by briefly alluding to the terrible disaster that had overtaken Boston, He said that in this case there was no ground for the calamity such as had been given for that which took place in Uhicago last year. If one had been asked to point to the most securely built and safest buildings on this Continent, he would certainly have pointed to this very section of Boston. Yet before the sea of fame that had raged during the past night these earthly treasures had been swept out of existence in a few hours, while the owners, who had the day before felt secure in the stability of thetr possessions, looked on with pallid faces and quivering lips at the work of devastation. nerve, and says, he vision of the sprightly and TALMAGE'S TABERNACLE, After the Election—A Stirring Sermon— More Christian Strategy Wanted—The Drones of the Church Exposcd—Men Can’t be Hooked into Heaven=An Ap- peal for Suffering Boston. There was the usual great crowd at the Taher- nacle yesterday morning. Mr. Talmage appeared upon the platform just as the organist, Mr. Morgan, had concluded an operatic selection, which he played for the first time yesterday. Then there was a change in the music, and the organ rolled out the old doxology, which the congregation sang with great power. Mr. Talmage, in the prayer before the sermon, thanked the Almighty, while referring to the recent clection, that prayed that those who had been contending against cach other in political partisanship might now join hands in a pledge of greater faithfulness to their country and to their God. “May we re- member,” he continued, “that promotion and strength come neither from the N orth nor the South nor the East nor the West, but from Goa, Oh, Lord God of Lexington and Bunker Hill ana Gettysburg and South Mountain, be Thou the strength and deliverance of this great nation! Let righteousness run down our streets like a mighty torrent and may the kingdoms of this world become the kingdoms of the Lord Jesus Christ’? THE SERMON was onthe rout of the Midianites by Gideon and his army of 800 (as set fortn in the book of Judges), and the lessons to be drawn therefrom. That was the strangest battle ever fought, said the preacher, God had told Gideon to go down and thrash the | Midianites, but he said his army was too large, So @ proclamation was made that all these of the troops who were cowardly and wanted to go home might go, and 22,000 of them scampered away, lea ing only 10,000 men. But God wal there | had been no bloodshed or national confict ana | j | ject the lawfuness of Christian stratagem. The great: st victory ever won by Washington or Napo- Jeon was gained through the fact that they came atatime and by away they were not eupecied. ‘The Northern troops beat thelr life out at Freder- icksburg, but it was through strategy they won a victory at Lookout Mountain. We knew what Png: 4 was in military mii it was now high time we turned it to the Chureh of God.

Mr. e he woul rather have the 300 lamps and pitchers of Chri-tian stratagem than 100,000 drawn swords of literary and eccesiastical combat. But there was a great, lack of Christian strategy.

Take a church membership of @ thousand, and you generally found fifty who did the work. ‘There were scores of churches where two or three people did the work, Don’t worry, oh, Christian, if you have todo more than your share of the work. Wouldn't you rather be one of the picked men than to belong to the HOST OF STRAGGLERS? Another lesson to be learned from the text was that God’s way is different from man’s way, but is always the best. If we had had the planning of that battle we would have taken those 82,000 men, we would have drilled them and armed them an then marched them down upon the , de- pleted the army, took away their weapons and ve them lamps and trumpets, and told them 0 go and drive out the foe, Take in the composition of the Bible. If we had had the writing of it we would have said let one man do it. “No,” said God; “let no one man do it, but fort; men shall do it; and they did it under God’s inspi- ration, not contradicting each other on any im- portant point. So God’s Way in the redemption of the world was different from ours, but always the best, The last thing the pastor learned from this subject was that the overthrow of God's enemies would be sudden and terrific, You wanted @ better sword or carbine thin was ever seen to go out and fight against the Lord omnipotent, Give him God for his ally and others might have all the battlements and battalions, THE BOSTON FIRE, Mr. Talmage in his prayer after the sermon alluded to the great disaster which has befallen Boston and said:—“Lord Almighty, put out the fire and control its raging. ‘ilence my of prostrate, dying, burnin; ear thou the cry of the distressed and the homeless.

Yesterday witnessed a ceremony of great inter- est to the pious Koman Catholic Germans of the Western district of Brooklyn. The occasion was the solemn dedication to the honor and glory of God of the new and handsome edifice, under the patronage of St. Boniface, situate on Duffield street, near Willoughby. This building, which was commenced about two years ago by the Germans of the parish, who formerly wor- shipped in @ more humble structure on Willoughby street, is valued at $60,000, It is of the Gothic order of architecture, and is 60 feet in width by 100 feet deep. There are seats for 2,500 persons. The interior is hand- somely painted and frescoed, and is well lighted. The altar, which 1s of elaborate design, has a foundation of marble, and yesterday was resplendent with lighted tapers and floral offer- ings. The congregation in attendance was numer- ous, both the importance of the event and the de- lightful weather conducing to attract the faithful to the sacred edifice, The dedicatory services were performed by the Right Rev. Bishop John Loughiin, of the diocese of Brooklyn. Mass was offered up to the throne of the Most High by the worthy pastor of St. Boniface, Rev. Father De Bergh, assisted by a deacon, sub-deacon and mas- ter of ceremonies. A sermon was preached by the Bishop, who congratulated the people of the parish upon their zeal in furthering the faith, in honoring and glorifying God, and showing their determina- tion to perpetuate for the guidance of their chil- dren and childrens’ children that beacon light to salvation. He urged them vo show forth by their lives whose disciples so were, that they might set a good example to their fellowmen by fulfll- ment of the teachings and precepts of the hol: Catholic Church, that in the end, when summone: to render an account of their stewardship, they might be among those to whom it would be said, “Come, ye blessed of the Father, and inherit the kingdom which is prepared for you,’ &e. The venerable prelate dwelt upon the — rapid increase of Catholicity in Brooklyn, and referred to the fact that their faith was maine made manifest in the superior class of temples which are being reared upon all sides to the worship of God. Urging them to unite in fervent and unceasing adoration of God, from whom all we inherit proceeds; to the regular in at- tendance at mass on Sundays and holidays to ap- roach the sacraments of penance and the euchar- jst, and to shun all occupations of sin, particularly such as we are most inclined to, the Bishop closed his remarks. A few remarks were also made by Rev. Father De Bergh. There were present within the sanctuary enclosure the coadjutor of the diocese, Rev. Dr. Turner, Rev. Fathers McDonald, Huber, Taffee, Dauffenbach, Raber and Arnold, The choir acquitted itself admirably. The mass sung was Witzka's in ©, assisted by a full Orchestra, DrAss and string brand. The soprano was Miss Winchele; tenor, Calling; basso, William Swigert; alto, Umverzagt; organist, Professor William Herbert, The congregation purpose pur- chasing a new and superior instrument to replace the organ now in use. Three thousand dollars wil! be paid for the new organ as soon as that amount can be raised. The German Catholics of the Western District of eget may well fell proud of the new and elegant edifice of St. Boniface, on Dufield street. It is at once an evidence of their piety and an ornament to the city, CHRIST CHURCH. The March of the Gospel Westward— Sermon by Bishop Clarkson, ‘rhe pulpit of Christ church, Bedford avenue (Rey. Dr. Partridge), was occupied yesterday morning by Rev. R. H. Clarkson, D. D., one of the missionary bishops of the denomination. He took for his text the eighth verse of the fourth chapter of Micah—“And thon, O tower of the flock, the stronghold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion.” In his opening remarks the Bishop sald there was no one who loved the Church of his faith who did not desire that she should obtain the first dominion; and as they thought of this mighty land, stretching from ocean to ocean, with all her grand capabilities and the majestic possibilities of her future, and as they knew so well that what she needed to-day more than all else was the scriptural teachings of the Church of Christ, they conld not but hope that one (lay that vast people would be subdued by the power of the Cross, As they looked upon the fair structure of their beloved Church, built on Christ, the corner stone, the foundation laid by apostles | and the walls cemented by the blood of martyrs, | id the army was | too large yet, and so He ordered these 10,600 re- | maining fo march down through a stream aud commanded Gideon to notice in what manner these men (rank of tie stream as they passed through, If they GOT DOWN ON ALL rorrs and drank, then, they were to be pronounced lazy and incompetent for the campaign.

What he proposed to say concerning the efforts of the Church to obtain the Orst dominion would have reference to one of the missionary jurisdictions west of the Missouri River, of which there were six, and over cach of which was @ bishop. Ne- braska and Dakota were connected to his (the speaker's) jurisdicUion, which was a great empire in itself—nall as ~ a4 the whole of Kurope, larger than ail the New England States and New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia com- bined, The Pacifle and Northern Pacitic Railroads penetrated that grand highway of the nations, and owns and cities were springing up there as if by magic. The bishops of the Church were trying to plant little churches in all those towns as andmarks of the Gospel’s march across the Conti- nent, and they were endeavoring to send Christ's standard bearers as fast as they could be found and supported, or that the Gospel might follow closely in the wake of this wondrous tide of civiliza- tion sweeping westward, Seven years ago, when he (Bishop Clarkson) took charge there, there were four churches in that immense region; now there were thirty-six; then there were seven clergy- men, and now there are forty, besides six young men preparing to be watchmen on the tower, picket guards of the advancing posts of Christ's Church, He had also been enabied to establish four church institutions for the Christan training of tue yeung, allof which were prospering and free from debt. Those schools of learning were under the care of iaithful and able preshyters of the Chnreh, and they Were moulding the young life of Nebraska and ota. God had marvellously blessed the Episcopal Church in placing it in that important respect far tm advance of all other interests, and he (the Bishop) felt sure, it they could control the training of the youth of that imperial domain, no language could express or Jancy foretell the splendid results of the future. But there must be larger buildings for echool pur- poses, for they were alr full to overtiow! ng and more teachers and lonaries were needed, The agencies and activities of the Church must keep with the remarkable march of Po gone manifested in the West, People in the East who had never visited those countries could hardly be le believe how rapid and almost beyond a feb lel in the history o: nations the ver: cream of i@ fe of this and of every other land is weatward of the ver into all towns and fertile plains. The Bishop found 0, & lation of 50,000, and 000, low necessary was it Christ should be there with her ministrations and institutions to mould those in- coming thousands! It was their plan to at once to every town ’as soon as it was laid out and secure property for @ church and commence service ; but iscepal Church being pect smaller than others, and not having church building societies ike some denominations, it required a good deal of effort on the part of the missi onary bishops to secure property for a church edifice. The bishops pledged themselves to erect & buiiding worth $2,000 and free from debt for every $500 contributed at the East. It had been demon- strated that the prayer-book service is as well adapted to what might be called pioneer Christiamty as were the services of any Christian body of people. The Bihop manked @ member of Christ’s church for the munificent git, which would support one missionary, spoke of the difficulties in the way of accomplishing the great work of Western evangelization, dwelt in poring terms upon the future prosperity of that part of the Continent, and in closing urged tne Eastern people to sustain the laborers in the West by their means and prayers, and thus hasten the advance of Christ’s kingdom. NEW JERSEY CHURCHES. DEDICATIO: OF A CHAPEL IN JERSEY CITY Sermon by the Very Rev. Dean Byrne, of Camden. The dedication of the chapel of St, Patrick's church, corner of Bramhall and Ocean avenues, Jersey City, took place yesterday. The ceremony ‘was performed by the Very Rev. Dean Byrne, of Camden, assisted by the pastor, Rev. P. Hennessey, previous to the celebration of the last mass. After the first gospel Father Byrne ascended the altar, and taking his text from the 121st Psalm, beginning with the verse, “I was glad at the things that were said unto me; I will go into the house of the Lord,” preached an eloquent and tm- pressive sermon. As the announcement that David could enter into the house of the Lord brought joy and gladness to his heart, so the like news brought gladness to them that day. The: came to offer the first fruits of their labors to G and to receive in return a share of those benefits which He bestows on those who serve Him. He will bestow a reward one hundred fold, even in this world, to those who offer great sacrifices to Him, for He expressly declares that a cup of water given in His name shall not pass without its re- ward. His gilts have no limit, .for GOD HIMSELF 19 ILLIMITABLE, Not all the wealth of this world, with all the gold and precious stones it contains, can pee the heart of its possessor like one ray of the grace of God, which St, Paul says surpasseth all under- ening: It transiorms @ man from a devil into a sain When St. Patrick’s church is completed it will be second to no church edifice in the State in point of architectural beauty. The chapel, which was dedi- cated yesterday, and in which the congregation will worship henceforth till the completion of the main building, is large enough to contain the con- gregation which assembles at any one mass. The pastoral residence, like the church itself, 1s a eavy, solid structure of stone, and in finish and elegance of design, as well as solidity, is certainly superior to any Catholic pastoral residence in the diocese. The design and proportions of the church arein keeping with all the surroundings. This part of Jersey City commands a magnificent view of New York Bay. Itis the aristocratic section of the city, and is studded with elegant mansions. Property has advanced fully one hundred per cent here within two years. ANNIVERSARY OF 8ST. LUKE'S HOSPITAL. eee t Reports of the Superintendent and Resi- dent Physiclan—The Pastoral Work in the Institution—Speeches by a Num- ber of Bishops. The fourteenth anniversary of St. Luke’s Hospi- tal, corner of Fifth avenue and Fifty-fourth street, was celebrated in the chapel of the institution yesterday afternoon. The nave and galleries were crowded by an interested and attentive audience. The exercises opened at three o'clock with a vol- untary on the organ. The usual religious ser- vices followed, conducted by Rev. Dr. Lawrence. The annual report was then read by Dr. Muhlen- berg, the Superintendent and pastor. This was general in its character, and referred to the other reports for more detailed information. He accounted for the large mortality ny the fact that so many patients were brought to them in the last stages of disease. The larger mortality was among consumptive patients. Of twenty typhoid cases none who had been ihe, ie early had proved mor- tal, and only two in the advanced stages. The finances were in a good condition, The treasurer's report showed an indebtedness of but $5,112, which could be easily paid. During the year three persons had paid $3,000 each for endowing as many beds. John Jacob Astor had endowed two beds at $5,000 each. William B. Astor had given $50,000 as a nu- cleus to an endowment fund, which it was proposed to increase until the institution should thereby re- ceive an income sufficient for its maintenance. Dr. Bleything, the resident physician, then re- ported :— Total number treated.. Died . 673 ‘896 520 dd... A 230 Remaining in Hospital 136 Treated ire: seesess 516 Paid in whole or in part... 385 Nominated to endowed beds. * 168 The treasurer's report, which was not read detail, gave $497 in treasury. Dr. Muhlenberg then gave an interesting account of his visits to the various hospitals in Europe and their mode of administration and treat- ment as compared with ours. There are in Lon- don, he said, 100 of these institutions, many of them very old and richly endowed. He thought the Americans were in advance of the mother country in one respect a least—in the variety of food given patients in hospitals. No one that he visited had a more home-like aspect than St. Luke’s—a thing which goes iar in good effect upon the patient, The assistant pastor, Rev. W. W. Sever, then re- ported on the religious condition of the patients during the year, All denominations had been ad- mitted, Africans as well as others; all the trades and nearly all the professions had been repre- sented, and several examples of the good effects of the religious teachings were mentioned, _ Short speeches were then made by Bishop Vatl, of Kansas; Bishop Clarkson, of Omaha; Neely, of Maine, and Potter, of New York, all laudatory of the institution and inculcating the principles of charity and benevolence. They urged upon the congregation the importance of contributing towards the endowment of the insti- tution as one of the best ways of ee ph true Christian charity. Bishop Ciarkson, in his re- marks, referred to an epitaph found in a certain remote graveyard as follows:— What I squandered for self I wasted; What I saved I lost; What I gave away I have, and urged his hearers to draw a lesson from it. A collection for the benefit of the Hospital was tuken up, and the meeting closed with the dox- ology and benediction, pe Sait +" Sey DEATHS. BLAKELEY.—At Winfield, L.
