The mumber of organizations represented was 178, and about two hundred and fifty delegates were in at- tendance, coming from all parts of the United States, including California. They were formally ‘Weicomed on behalf of the citizens by Mr. William B. Moran, who had to fill the place of the Mayor, ‘Who was unavoidalyy prevented from performing the duty.

Michigan was numerously populated by THE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF GERMANY, and the noble work in which the societies were en- gaged was valuable to thcge children of the father- land who come to make their abode in this coun- try; valuable to the government by the aid they render in the solution of the dificult problem of emigration, and valuable and useful to the mem- bers in the many ways indicated by the articles of agsociation. As @ work of beneficence it eloquently attests the WARM, SYMPATHETIC CHORD IN THE GERMAN HEART, and is worthy of the genius of the holy religion that, inspired it. From the earliest times tne Catholic Church has imculcated the beautiful and sublime lessons of charity and employed her fertiie resources to relieve the needs of suitering humanity and remedy the evils that afict society. According to her doctrine the love of our neighbor is nothing if that love does not maniiest itseli by giving food to him waho is hungry, drink to him who is thirsty, in clothing the naked, com- forting the aillicted, Visiting the sick, aidimg and assisting the stranger, consoling the prisoner and ransoming the captive. In harmony with this teaching and responsive to the spirit of true reli- gion which dictates it, the German benevolent societies have been established. Mr, Paul Geis, who followed Mr, Moran, spoke in German, wel- coming the delegates in the name of the citizens of Detroit. A procession was then formed, com- yong of numerons local organizations, and with ands of music proceeded to St. Joseph's church, where high mass was celebrated by Right Rey. Dr. Borgess, assisted by numerous prie: THE PROCESSION ON MONDAY. There wasa grand military and civic procession on Monaay, in honor of the visiting delegates who joined in the demonstration, The houses on the strects through which it passed, were decorated with bannerg, streamers and evergreens. The United States fag, the Papal Mag and the flage of Germany, France, Ireland, England and Spain were displayed in numerous places, Floral arches were erected On many streets, and the city wore the ap- pearance of a day. The Detroit National Guard, the St. Mary’s Zouaves and St. Mary’s cadets formed the military escort. The French, Netherlands, Polish, Irish and German societies were out in full numbers, and organizations from Toledo, and Tiffin, Ohio, and a large number of citizens took part in the display.

Nothing can be {oer which does not rest upon the indestructible bet of right.

That is the proper place for such en. We cannot elevate a truly great man, but we do elevate the nation and ourselves when we accord to great men those positions for which, by reason of their heavem-created nobility of mind and soul, they are fitted, WOMAN, Pulpit Reform, | To rue Eprrok oF THE HERALD:— In this age of the world revolutions and changes occur in a short space of time compared with those of former ages. People live faster, accomplish more and consequently die sooner, But this matters not 80 long as the great purposes of life are accom- plished. Everything points to rapid work—doing it in the shortest and best way, and wasting no time or words. The greatest activity of body and mind seems to be necessary; but there is such a want of harmony, and so much is done in the wrong direction, that @ great amount of work goes. for nothing—vanishes like the morning cloud, and the world is no better for it, But men must live and learn, and the time will come when we shall truly “live in deeds, not years.’? One of the great reforms now needed is in the pul- vit, Preachers are trained in substantially the fame schools as formerly, aud latterly have not advanced in religious ideas so rapidly as their hearers. With deference to the clergy it is lament- able that to-day so much education and talent in the pulpit amounts to little or nothing. The walk of Christians has been very much circumscribed by their teachers, They travel in the same ruts, think the same thoughts year after year; and be- lieve it to be wrong to think for themselves or entertain any religious opinions different trom those they have been taught, no matter what their convictions are or their reason may dictate, True Christianity is plain, simple and prac- tical, and those who teach it as Christ taught (and they are few) are the really successful ministers of ess and the clergy occupied carriages in the line. Tne procession moved while a salute was fired on the Campus Martius, and took forty minutes to passa given point. The weather was very fine and everything passed off in the most satisfactory manner. ‘The Convention organized on Yonday by electing Mr. George Balons, of Buffalo, N. Y., President; Henry Hilgerfort, of Dayton, Ohio, Vice President; Rev. A. Schewinge rding tary: Frank Haeiner. of Buffalo, Corresponding Secretary, and dinand Springmeier, Treasurer. The \financial irs of the societies were reported to be in a sound condition, and the offerings forwarded to the Holy Father during tne year had been auly | acknowledged. A considerable sum was expended for relief o: immigrants arriving at New York and Baltimore. By direction of the Convention Bishop Borgess forwarded by telegraph the foilow- jug despatch to the Pope:—‘‘Tue dele- ates of the German oman —- Catholic enevolent societies of the United States assembied in the city of Detroit request me to ex- press toyou their sympathy for you in ihe wrongs done to your august person by the enemics of our holy religion, and their solemn protest against the continued spoliation of the property consecrated to the service of God by the usurpers.”’ The reply of Cardinai Antonelli was published in the Heraip on Thursday last. ‘The Convention adjourned Wednesday, alter electing Mr. Henry Spaunhorst, of St. Louis, Mo., President of the united associa- tions, and eleven vice presidents, representing as many states. Chureh Troubles in a Spanish Colony— The Archbishop of Manila Refuses to Acknowledge a Bishop Appointed by Amadeus—Action of the Captain Gene- rai—Discontent of the People—Reference to Rome. The Spanish Republic has inherited a disagree- able ecclesiastical diMculty in the Philippine Islands from the government of Amadeus. Zorilla, in 1872, named two of his friends to vacant sees (Cebu and Cuba) in the province of Manila. The Archbishop, it is stated, alter consulting his chap- ter, replied to the government by a request that Sefior Zamora, uppointed to Cebu, might nov be sent out without bulis from Rome, as the clergy, both secular and regular, regarded him unworthy of the office, adding that if he brought a docu- ment proving accéptable he (the Archbishop) would receive him with the respect due to his post- tion. Sefor Zamora, was sent out, however, and the Governor called upon the Archbishop to give him investiture of the temporalities. The latter re- fused for the reasons stated, which, he sald, had never been iaid before the government at Madrid. The Captain General then notified the Archbishop that he would ; SEWZE THE TEMPORALITIES OF THE ARCHBISOPRIC, and ordered him to proceed himself to Spain, after confiding the spiritual administration to an ec siastic of lower rank. The Archbishop, for tl sake of peace, replied he would go, and that at the moment or his departure he wouid name his vicar, but that, present or dbsent, he would still be Arch- bishop of Manila and Metropolitan of the Phi- lippines The chapter and: all the religious orders: trated ineiectually with the Captain but the day before the Archbishop was ve there were symptoms of such discontent among the population that the Captain General applied for help to the heads of the religious orders Whose influence over the natives is most valuable tothe Spanish government. These priests told him they would give up all they had, even their lives, for the service of the country, but they could not support him in an usurpation or ecclesiastical jurisdiction, and he at length ailowed a respite until telegraphic communication could be had with Rome, ‘The question presented to the republican government lor settiement in the present condi- tion of home @ffeirs is not altogether free from dificuity. The natives of the Philippines are at- tached to the Church which has been @ staunch supporter of Spanish rule in the colony, and if is apprehended that 1! yamora is foreed into the vacant see without Papal confir®ation and against tne protests of the Arenbishop serious troubles may arise. 3 dency. To THE Epiror or THE HERALD: I admire Mr. Beecher for four reasons, viz. :—His independence of mind, versatility of talent, origi- nality of thought and for the simplicity and general aptitude of his similitudes, As some lawyer when he-has spread out and re- viewed his case at great length begins at last to concentrate and sum up its chief merits, so in cast- ing my mental vision over and around Piymouth’s pastor I concentrate and sum up these prominent characteristics which go to make up the sum totai of Henry Ward Beecher, the great preacher of the nineteenth century, who, though gradually and deftly, 18 yet surely creating as great a revolution in the religious world as the politicians of the last few years have made in State afairs. Whether this religious change will be productive of great good remains for coming years to reveal, and at perhaps no very distant day. Upon this, however, J had not meant to com- ment, but simply desired to ask of the distinguished minister the indulgence—which I knew would be readily granted—oi expressing myseif with the same candor of thought and speech whieh char- acterized him in analyzing other distinguished men of his day. 1 desired to express my surprise and sorrow at the manner in which Mr. Keecher has recently written of @he great public man who bat a days ago passed from among us, and whom the woole country—North, South, East and West—justly combined to revere and now to regret. After enumerating the commanding qnali- if Chie! Justice Chase, Mr. Beecher concludes thus :— But these great endorsements had their special limi tion in that last infirmity of noble minds in Ameri desire to be Presideni. nm the case of the statesman who has just breathed his lite amoug us. This desire arose to passion—a consuming tury. Noman since Webster has had this fever—this gnawing lust for the highest name and power—like Sal- mon P. Chase, His name sparkled and swayed beneath the ,ewelry of ail our state! Governor, Cab: great ¥ jest Civic titles save on: member, Chief Juste ed the voracity of lis ambition while the culminating one was lacking. It is probable that the clutch of his hope never quite relaxed until the nomina- tion of Horace Greeley at Baltimore. This was a weak- ness, itis true, but it Wasa weakness in which he bad uncommonly good company. Eloquent; but are not these heartiess and cruel words from the eloquent man, whose every Sunday sermons breathe so healthful and delightiul a per- fume of love and charity ? “That jast infirmity of noble minds in America,” “a Oe “a consuming fury,” “this fever,’ “this gnawing lust for the highest name and wer,” “the voracity of his ambition.” Take ack these cruel words ! It 1s neither brave nor fair for the living to so impeach the mighty dead, Whose lips are closed and powerless to answer in reply—whose life has been so just and pure, and whose example is so well worthy of emulation, The iriend who goes with us into some beautiful conservatory. filted with choice plants and rare ex- otics, is content to attract our attention to these beauties alone, leaving to the cynic’s finger the pleasure of ores out such defects as mar the harmony to his, perhaps, too jaundiced eye, There are few of us who have not, at one time or another, groaned under the heavy lash of injustice. Remembering the pain, let us be careful how we administer strokes to others. And it is @ curious mistake into which the dinarily intelligent world has fallen, that it is infirmity in men of nobie .mind in America to as- pire to the Presidency. Why, to men of real noble mind no ambition, no aspiration, particularly in the present day, could be more natural or more praiseworthy, Nobility of mind and soul is not something acquired by experience or stady, but ia itself a rare endowment from the ’ Creator, and carcies with =it those ever sure = ac- companiments—an joward knowledge apd love religion to-day. Muny decry against such and cali them sensational preachers, whereas they are sim- ply natural, Christian teachers, and a test of the efficacy of their work is the readiness with which people listen to and embrace the truths taught. Christ taught a plain, simple doctrine, and tried to draw men unto Him by love and tenderness, but men often try to drive and frighten people by the terrors of the law, and thas make religion many times impracticabie and odious, when the whole Christian scheme is based on the law of love. Again, ministers often discourse at length on some historical theme of the Old Testament which is familiar to almost every ove, and then attempt to draw some fur-tetched conclusions. What if “Terah died in Haran,” or Joseph gave command- ment concerning his bones, or that Caleb was the son of Jephanneh, and Joshua was the son of Nun. These are mere historical facts, and what have they to do with the Christianity of to-day? Yet good men preach year after year from these very texts and others of no more importance, and peo- ple cal) it gospel, because their minister LYS 80,7? bp they dare not say aught if they are inclined so to do. The spirit of man needs to be enlightened and his heart enlarged; he should be taught what lite is and his relations to God and man. The great hway to the future should be opened to him, and he be led into a higher spiritual atmosphere and a closer communion with God, and have all low and narrow views driven from his mind. ‘The soul needs food as well as the body, and when people are hungering after spiritual food and famishing tor the truth itsis tame the teachers of religion should comprebend their wants and give them what they 80 much need. AMI. S Congregational Singing. To THE EpiToR oF THE HERALD :— Monvay, June 2, 1873. Noticing in your issue of yesterday an article on “Congregational Singing,’ I have made bold to speak a few words ip its favor, I ama young man (a Christian, | hope), anda worker for the cause of the Master, and the subject has always troubled me. S What right have a choir of two, four or twenty to express the feelings of a church of worshippers? Was the Church of God instituted for that purpose? God forbid! Singing is the most effective way of giv- ing utterance to the emotions of the heart, and when do we find true Christians and not find earnest praises to God? ‘To sing and praise God properly we must feel what we are singing ; and the brazen- faced men and women who compose some of our city choirs, who sing in the theatre and perhaps worse places during the week, have they the right by the Word of God to express our feelings? 1 tell you ro. There is altogether too much lax Chris- tianity in our land, and what we want is earnest, downright hard work ; no Sunday Cnristianity, to be be leit off during the week. We want men and women who really serve the God they profess to love, and fear no evil because God is with them, who go into the byways, the lanes and the forsaken parts of our great city, and bring into the fold of Christ the poor and the desutut those that our satin- eeerer. Christians would hardiy deign to notice, but would pass by unheeded. When we have such christians gathered in the house of God for His worship and praise, and after hearing the Scrip- tures expounded by an earnest man of God, they break forth in joyfui songs of praise to ‘the God who made and who keeps them. ‘Then, and not till then, wil! we have’ singing and praises which will delight the ear of God Almighty and will bring down showers of blessings, like the beautiful buds and blossoms that peep out alter the May show! feeling of id we will not go away witn the ing heard “a delightfal feast of Sun- but with more earnest desires for the Holy Spirit’s presence to guide us in the future, and we will fee! better able to withstand the many trials and vexaiions which fesh is as) Le A Bit of Ancient History—Sacred and Protane. To THE EpITOR OF THE HeRALD:— As Ihave not received the light desired in a for- mer communication, with your permission I would be pleased to continue the sutject a little farther. Pliny, the elder, died an old man in the year 79, At the time of the death of Crist he must have been thirty years of age. In his treatise upon astronomy he makes no allusion to that re- markable phenomenon, total darkness from the sixth to the ninth hour, which, believe, is to be found only in the New Testament. Yet he makes particular mention of a partial eciipse, which came of fifty years before his own time, soon after the death of Julius Cwsar. A great historian in- jorms us it was currently reported in the year 250 there were many men then living who had been raised trom the dead, A worthy old philoso- pher said to the high iest “Sir, 1 will base my faith on this one t tee show me a man who has been raised from the dead and I will immediately become a Christian.” “It is remark- able,’’ says this historian, ‘that he should have de- clined so fair an offe: Constantine, the Roman Richard, founder of the orthodox creed, saw the cross in the sky. Was it before or after he mur- dered his nearest of kin who stood between him- self and the throne? Really, Mr. Editor, I am slightly of opinion the ancient Jews and early Christians tooted their own horn, and that a religious cheat with the Lord is no cetter than a Wail street swindle, and the men who endorse either are atheist at heart. The Rev. Mr. Hepworth, I perceive, is pleased to consider the great original (the Pagan religion) an insignifi- cant, wee bit of a star of the third magnitude, and the little imitator the sun that shines for all. un reading ‘Pintarch's Lives” I was sadly disap- pointed in finding he had entirely overlooked such noted characters as Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Joshua, David, Solomon, Ahashuerus, Nebuchad, nezzar, Belshazzar, Daniel, John, the Revelator, and St, Paul. CASAR, Religion in Australia. ‘The foundation stone of a new Roman Catholic church at Gordons, Australia, has been laid by the Right Rev. Bishop Goold. The church, when completed, will cost over £3,000, A new joss house was opened at the Chinese camp at Ararat, Australia, on the 20th of March. to the Roman Faith. ‘The Rev. William Maziere Brady, D. D., formerly chaplain to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and lately rector of Donaghpatrick, county Meath, and .& relative of the late Lord Chanceiior Brady, has been received into the Roman Catholic Charch by Monsignor Kirby, of the Irish College, Rome, Conversion Catholic Ministerial Movements and Changes, PRESBYTERIAN, The Southern Presbyterians have more churches than ministers. The Reformed Church in America Nas More ministers than churches. They propose to equalize by uniting the two denominations, to form one strong body. The Reformed Church dig- nitaries will meet in New Brunswick, N. J., shortly, when some steps toward @ union will probably be taken, ‘The strength of the Reformed Dutch Church, however, lies in New York city and along the Hudson, 80 that, geographically, it should be allied to some Northern branch of the great Pres- byterlan family. A very large number of Presby- terian ministers throughout the country receive less than five hundred dollars a year salary. The sustentation fund of the denomination is designed to increase this pittance to a uniform amount of $1,000, The Cumberland Presbyterians, with their 105 Presbyteries, 130,000 members and six colleges and seminaries. are apxiovs to return to the old, fold, from wnich they departed years ago, because of their opposition to the licensing of uneducated men to the ministry. Not satisfied with the National Series of Sunday school instruction—a series from which everything denominational is left out—the Presbyterian General Assembly, in session in Bal- timore, took steps to have the doctrines of the Church distinctly taught in Sunday schools, Rev. 'T. C. Easton has been called to the First Preshyte- rian church of Belvidere, Ill, Mr. Joseph W. San- derson, a recent graduate of Lane Seminary, is temporarily supplying the Presbyterian church at Janesville, Wis., witha view to the pastorate of the same. Rev. G. M. Clark has assumed the pas- torate of the Presbyterian church at Howell. Mich, Rey. A. P. Forman, D. D., of St. Louis, has begun his pastorate with the Presbyterian church at Can- ton, Miss. The state of his health demanded more Southern clime than St. Louis. Rev. Montfort has left the pulpit of the Orchard street chureh, Cincinnati, Ohio, for the editorial tripod of the Herald and Presbyter. Rev. T. 8. Bailey, of Ep- worth, has taken a charge in Farley, Iowa. Rev. Jonn H. Aughey, of Beaver, Pa., has transferred his ministration to St. Louis, Mo. Rev. A. B. Good- rich, of Marshalltown, has accepted a cgll to Cedar Falls, Iowa. Rev. W. M. Kain, of Slate Lick, Pa, has accepted the charge of the Presbyterian churches in Harrison and Penn Station, Pa, That sectarian bigotry will have its sure reward has been amply illustrated by the Reformed Presbyterian Church, whose Gen- eral Synod recently met in Pittspurg, Pa. Five years ago, when they met, Mr, George H. Stuart, of Philadelphia, was suspended because he chose to sing Christian hymns as well as the wretched doggerel into which they have metricised the Psalins of David, At that time there were forty- seven ministers in the body, but at their late ses- sion there were but sixteen of these remaining, three having died and twenty-eight united with other branches of the Presbyterian Church, Nine have been added, however, 80 that the whole number is but twenty-five. The missionary contributions of the body in 1868 were $5,402, in 1872 $672, The Church has loss its ministers, tts members, its money and its iawsuits against Mr. Stuart and his friends, 80 far as the latter have gone, though some are still in progress, So that illiberality in religion costs rather dearly. A suggestion that the Presby- terian ministers be moved from congregation to congregation at stated times, like their Methodist brethren, was received with laughter by the late General Assembly. Eighty-eight ministers of the Presbyterian Church died in this country last year, ‘The General Assembly has appointed a committee to correspond and arrange for an ecumenica! con- vention of Presbyterians, to be held, probably, next year, BAPTIST, The Christian churches of the Eastern District of Brooklyn are taking collections toward the fund for the redemption of the Lee avenue Baptist chureh from the mortgage which has been fore- closed against it, St, Jolin’s Methodist Episcopal church has given $800, and Dr. Porter's Retormed church $450. Rev. J. D. Fulton, D.D., entered upon his duties 2s pastor of the Hanson place church last Sunday morning. There were no formal exercises, except a warm address of wel- come by one of the deacons and an earnest response by the new pastor; but the ser- vices of the day made the deepest im- pression upon the large congregation that thronged the house morning and evening. Rev. A. J. ¥. Behrends, pastor of Warbruton ave~ nue Baptist church, preached his farewell sermon there last Sunday, alter eight years’ pas- torate. To-day he begins his charge of the First Baptist churchin Cleveland, Ohio. The First Bap- tist church of Philadelphia 1s closed for repairs. About forty thousand dollars have been raised lately to pay off a debt and put the house in order. The church and congregation will worship fer the present with the Beth-Eden church. The Second aptist church of Philade!phia yeopons to build a hew house of worship on Seventh street, near Girard avenue. The Sixteenth Baptist church of this city has presented its retiring pastor, Rey. Dr. Mikels, a purse containing $1,450, in appreciation of his seventeen years’ pastoral services with them. The Washington avenue church, of Brook- lyn, have engaged Mr. Delavan DeWoif, a Tecent graduate of Rochester Theological Seminary, to take charge of the mission school of the church, corner of Marcy avenue and Monroe street. Mr. DeWolf has already en- tered upon his work with great zcal and most gratifying success. ‘The church in Clarence, N. Y., Nave given their pastor, Rev. H. P.

THIRTY-FOURTH STREET SYNAGOGUE. pilin Tene” cenmnr anita The Moral Status of Woman in Jada- ism—Woman’s Neglect the Cause of Crime and Infidelity—Sermon by the Rev. Dr. Vidaver. Yesterday a goodly congregation gathered in the Synagogue Bnai Jeshurun, Thirty-fourth street, near Sixth avenue. A lesson was read from Judges xiil., from the second verse of which Dr. Vidaver subsequently discoursed, It recites the prayer of Hannah (the mother alterwards of Samuel) for a son and the answer of the Lord by His angel to ber. There was and there is, said the Doctor, an erroneous notion that in Judaism the woman was to occupy an inferior « position man; that in the fulfilment of the sacred duties of Judaism the woman was to be Placed im the background, while the man was to read the Torah and perform the other fanctions of the priestly oMce in the Temple, and thus, like other false notions, woman was to be kept, asit Were, in a state of mental slavery. These notions are, of course, utterly absurd, Judaism could by no means make such @ distinction betweea men and women. Judaism was the first to PLACE WOMAN UPON THE HIGH LEVEL im which she stands to-day with man. It was the first to appreciate the deep and intense feeling of woman’s heart. While Piato, the purest of the Greek philosophers, would put women in the ranks ‘with men as soldiers and place them on the same Plane physically ss men, Judaism represents wo- man as one with man mentally and as only inferior to him physically. While God has given to man a body capable of enduring great labor and hardshi) women has been endowed with 8 more beautiful form, & warmer and more sympathetic nature, and erally @ sweeter disposition and temper. She A cesignea to develop the superior qualities of hope snd faith in her; nature in the quiet home circle. Judaisin would raise up woman to the highest apex of gior to which she might be able to siren, antees hens om, taney that the ceremo- nials o wo- man, did that exclude her from the viewings of prayer or from the duties of home, that she should Rot confide the mysteries of her wemanly heart to on ae sits above ¥ No, indeed, Judaism recog: nives that + WOMAN'S HRART 18 MORE FIT FOR PRAYER than man’s, and here in the text the ange! of God appears to the woman and not to the ter | man, + JadaleN, who could hargly Ogd time to recognized in Hannah a true priestess in the san tuary of her own home, and her preyer was an-| swered by God. Judaism did not free woman froum ‘those duties which should belong to both man and: woman, It looks upon woman in. her home as priestess, and in ancient times she was more ac+ complished than man. Hence the Scriptares a look to Abraham, our father, and to Sarah tial bore us, and calls upon the daughters of Jerusal to rejoice and be glad. But the chief glory of woman is that which is laid upon her by God Him- self as the educator of the young in the households Weman is peculiarly fitted by nature to perfor this work; and while, on other occasions and for, other purposes, angels have appeared to men, ii this instance the ange! appeared to the woman and) gave her instructions how she should train up her} son who was to be born. The women of Israefl could not be warriors or priests, but they conl raise up and educate both warriors and priests, an history testifies that they did this nobly and well¢ and tlins the women of Israel were held in hight estimation. Wherever you see crime and intidelity Stalking abroad in the Community you will see oped WOMEN IN GENERAL NEGLECT THEIR DUTY as priestesses of the home circle and educators the young; they do not inspire truth and love an affection in the hearts of their children, Nor di they teach them how to practise virtue and faith.| The angel in the text inculcates upon the womai the virtues of frugality and piety an. fidelity God and love for humanity. Your characters are! not made in the schoolroom, but are begotten i the household, Let the women of Israel te-da: look back to those women of old who have beet examples of faith and virtue, and there we shal see a generation that will not curse their fathers nor despise the counsels of their mothers as we see now. ‘And such a generation will be biessed of God.
