Subject—“The Holy Ghost a Memory Helper in Christ’s School.” * Fashionable and Extravagant Funcrals. To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— Without some stop is put to the demands of fashion in outlays at funerais it will be as costly a luxury to die in the city of New York as it is ex- pensive to live there. I “know how it is myself’— idon’t mean the dying part—for I have entailed upon myself months of anxiety and no little mortifi- cation because, in a moment of weakness, I gave a carte blamwhe to a friend of mine to attend to the burial of a near and dear relative, and he ordered ‘What 1s called the fashionable “nquisites” in such rotusion that I nearly became another subject for im to try his lavish hand upon. But, when I eome to think of it,i dare say I would have done precisely the same thing had the “gentle- manly undertaker” put to me the usual questions in the usual bland and irresisti- bie way; therefore I ought not to blame my friend, but that hollow, base, material nonentity called ‘‘society;’’ and for the sake of others likely to be situated like myself I raise my feeble voice @nd second tne able and sensible views expressed by “Semi-Occasional,”’ the Washington corre- spondent of the HBRALD, and published in the edition of last Sunday week, What = ‘‘Semi-Vccasional” says every sane, Teasonable Christian will agree to, albeit the graceful writer !s, no doubt, an Israelite, for I have noticed in several of his previous articles that his views are Mosaic in origin, though perfectly Christian in practice, and that he takes particular pains not to offensively obtrude his particular be- iief upon any one, His views as expressed upon “(ashionable funerals’ are particularly needed at this time, and I hope the public will give them the attention their great importance deserves. And will you not assist, Mr. Editor’ A SUFFERER, Catholic Advancement in Poughkeepsie. POUGHKEEPSIE, N, Y., June 28, 1873, To tue Epiror or THE HERALD: — The Church hasadvanced her lines at this point, breaking forth at length from the confines within which for so many years her headquarters had been established, and wherein she was fain to reside, content with sending out an occasional foraging party, or an aide to assist her straggling pickets. Her success in these enterprises has em- boldened her officers to found a new camp, and, surrounding themselves with “all the pomp and pride and circumstance Of glorious war,” sounding bell and tocsin, bearing aloft the standard of the cross, and wielding the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, to prosecute from a new van- tage ground and with all the courage that the con- sciousness of iniallibility, and ail the prestige that @acient origin and large numbers naturally supply, the traditional and eternal warfare inst the devil, the world and the flesh, To put it more plainly, the Catholics have purchased a church here rom their dissenting brethren of sim- ilar neme, but widely different tenets—the Univer- saliste, to wit—and are preparing the building for the proper celebration of the divine sacrifice o1 the mass. This new be Sag of the Papal army is lo- cated within a block or so of the Court House, and is Centrally situated, in a guict, shady and delight- Jui part of this fair city. The edifice has assumed already, in anticipation of the ceremony of dedica- tion, which the Archbishop of New York is ex- soon to perform within it, the title of St. ‘e—the most glorious and honorable, after those of the Divinity, that it has been granted Catholic temples to bear. It is a handsome frame fort; ars ago, in days when peg Ay care vel, taken than now ‘inthe con. @truction Of public and private edifices, and will NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, JUNE 29, 1873—TRIPLE SHEET. acoommodate some six hundred sitters. Already the improvements in the shape of more pews, &c., required tor the needs of the numerous and sivan increasing children of the Spouse of Christ; ti building of @ sanctuary, the erection of an altar, the fitting up of a vestry ior the priests and other alterations, have advanced considerably; and when the golden candlesticks the altar, the son carpet covers its steps, con- trasting with the green covered floors of the aisles and len lustre to the paint- ings that will depend from the walls, the new ehurch will no doubt present an exquisite and devo- tonal shrine of the Mother of God, The fatigue of traversing the hilly elevation that divides Pough- keepsie practically into up and downtown, and the distance from the original church (St. Peter's) at Which many of the parishioners now reside, made them anxious for another place of worship. To Satisfy this want Rev. Dr. McSweeny, pastor of St. Peter's, purchased this building, which, itis ex- Pected, will be ready for service in three or four weeks, The Catholics, as usual, respond gen- crouse to the designs of their priests, and have already subscribed $4,000 toward the expense of purchase and alteration, so that the Rev. Edward lcSweeny, D. D., formerly of St, Stephen’s, New York, who will assume charge of the new congre- gation, has every reason for confidence in the suc- cess of the enterprise. The faith of the children ofthe Church in this countey more than compen- sates for their general lack of worldly wealth, and causes them to raise temples for God's worship far more beautiful and costly than the circumstances of the contributors could lead one to expect. Gan we “despair of the Republic,’ its patriotism, morality and endurance, when such a large ele- ment of our population shows this fidelity to con- sclence and to God? EUPHYLAX. The Decline of Methodism. To ‘rH# EpIToR OF THE HERALD:— The subject of the decline of Methodism in this city and Brooklyn appears to be attracting some attention just now. Will you permit me to state the cause of that decline, not only numerical, but spiritual? Itis simply the grasping avaricious- ness, venality and cupidity of its leading members, lay and clerical, which prompt them to prostitute religion to aggrandize themselves. From Dr, Newman, who endorses Pomeroy as @ “God-fearing Christian,” down to the exhorter at the evening prayer meeting, who tells with such unetion how much retigion has improved his worldly prospects, all, all are tainted with the same spirlt—subserving reiigion to advance self. We see it yearly in the wrangling at the confer- ences for who shall have the fattest torates, bishoprics, &c. Such things may not seem so much out of place among the Episcopai and other effete churches, but among the Methodists, the great reformers, who claim entire sanctification and pertect purity of motive as their prerogative, to not only connive at, but openly countenance, such things! Surely ‘the whole head is sick.’’ When ministers’ aim at ‘placing themselves where they will do most good” ana not where they will receive most stipend, and when they will earnestly seek to rid their societies of the self- seeker, the trimmer and the hypocrite (even though he may be rich), then ‘God, even their God, shall bless them, and all the world yield its increase.”” ' W. G. B. Evangelism in Hayti. To rae Epiror OF THE HERALD :— Will you allow me to call the attention of the public to a serious loss sustained by a most worthy anissionary in the Republic of Hayti? The Rev. J. T. Holly, a clergyman of the Episcopal Church, went to that island twelve years ago, at the head of a colony of about one hundred people of his own race, most of them from New Haven. The enterprise proved unfortunate, half of the colo- nists dying in six months and the survivors nearly all returning home discouraged. Mr, Holly, however, remained there to labor as a missionary, at first on his own. responsi- bility, and supporting himself and family by manual labor, Thus working alone, he succeeded in gathering a congregation. At length the Epis- copal Church of this country adopted his mission. The result accomplished is extraordinary. Instead of one missionary there are now eleveny nearly all, if not all, of them brought into the ministry through Mr. Holly’s influence and largely educated by him- self. All of these are colored men, the majority of them native Haytians. and they are at work among the degraded population at several stations on the island, The Right Rev. Bishop Coxe, of Western New York, visited the mission last Winter, and re- turned home full of enthusiasm for the work done and being done, and of admiration for Mr. Holly’s character. The writer was in Port-au-Prince in February last, and was much impressed by his refinement, modesty, scholarship and, atove all, his earnest piety and zeal, and he desires to bear his witness to the solid reality of the work done, Now to the point! On the third-ef this month a fire suddenly broke out a short distance from the mission buildings, and in less than half an hour church, perionalr and schoolhouse were totaily destroyed. Mr. Holly had barely time to remove his family and a very sinall portion of his effects, As to the loss sustained by the mission I leave that, of course, to the Board. [have written this because I thought there must be some who would delight to show their igh ane of so noble and brave a man as Mr. Holly, by doing something for him now in his necessity. Money, of course, would be most acceptable, He has an interesting family, consist- ing of a wife (a noble woman) and elght children— the eldest seventeen years of age. His want, thereiore, must be great; and, as his valuable li- brary of French and English books was nearly all destroyed, perhaps publishers and others would like to help replace so inestimable a treasure and great necessity of every student and clergyman, and especially of one living in a semi-barbarous land. All contributions should be sent to the Board of Foreizn Missions of the Protestant Epis- copal Church, 22 and 23 Bible House, “for Rev. J.T. Holly.” JOHN P. APPLETON, Minister of St. Paul's Chapel, College Point, L. I. Arrival of a Distinguished Scotch Cler- syman. The steamer Parthia has on board Dr. John A. Mactadyen, of Edinburgh, Scotland. This is the first appearance of this eloquent divine in this country. He comes solely to fill Dr. Scudder’s pulpit in the Central Congregational church, Brooklyn, during that gentieman’s Summer vaca- tion, Much interest is shown in receiving him. The trastees of the church have appointed a com- mittee to escort him to Brooklyn, while the Young Men’s Scudder Union have appointed a committee, consisting of Messrs. O. R. Ingersoll, C. L. Rice, E. W. Crampton, E. R. Kenneydy, 8.8. Blood, A. 8. Clement and Clark, who will proceed in a special steamer to sea and board the Parthia. Arrange- ments have been made by the Union for a grand recepulon on Tuesday evening jn honor of both Drs. Scudder and Maciadyen. The clergy of Brook- lyn will be invited, and Drs. Scudder, Macfadyen and others are expected to make addresses, The Bible in the Ohio Public Schools, The decision rendered by the Supreme Court of Ohio last Tuesday in tne Cincinnati school case goes along way towards the settlement of a ques- tion that has for a number of years agitated the public mind in that city and State. The local Board of Education had, by resolution, prohibited the reading of the Bible in the public schools of Cincinnati. An order was obtained from the Su- perior Court enjoining the enforcement of the reso- lution, and the injunction was made perpetual by afullbench, The Supreme Court, on appeal, held, first, that the constitution of Ohio does not require religious instruction or reading of religious books in the public schools of the State ; second, that, the Legislature having placed the management of pub- lic schools under the exclusive control of directors, trustees and boards of education, the courts have no rightful authority to tmteriere by directin what instrnction shail be given or what books shall be read therein, The injunction was dissolved and the suit dismissed, thus leaving the question in the tae it stood when the Board of Education pro- ibited the reading of the Bible in the schools under their charge. It will be seen that the matter of usin, tures is now discretionary with each"governing body in its respective locality. The question of ab- solutely excluding the Bible was not touched, though the Court intimated that any system that would have the effect of creating and ed te alive animosities of race or religion or of driving away children from the public schools was unwise and contrary to the spirit of the law. It will be only when the parent of some pupil or other citizen in- terested invokes the imterposition of the courts to prevent tne reading of the Bible that a decision can bé reached as to whether it is legal or not to continue the praetice where it now exists. No such point bas yet been raised. the Scrip- St. Cecilia’s Roman Catholic Church. Another concert takes place this (Sunday) even- ing at St. Cecilia’s Roman Catholic church, corner 01 105th street and Second avenue, Rev. Hugh Flat- tery pastor. A very interesting programme has been arranged for the occasien. The ladies’ fair at present in progress will remain open for one week more, Very select, curious and elegant articles @re displayed upon the different tables, of which there are eight in number, in charge of some forty of our most prominent Catholic ladies. Among the articles for chances might be mentioned two mag- nificent oi! paintin; one of St. Cecilia and the other representing © he Dead Christ.” +A visit to the jair will assist a noble charity—the erection and maintenance of another house of worship to the Most High, besides conducing to pleasure and information. Ministerial Movements and Changes. METHODIST, tton, of the New York Con- e Methodist Episcopal church last week the honorary degree The Rev. R. M. St ference, pastor of at Yonkers, receiv | In favor of union, of Doctor of Divinity trom Rutgers College, New Jer- sey. Coming, as this degree does, from the oldest college of the Reformed Church in this country to a minister of another denomination, tormerly a-pas- tor in the community where the college is located, it is especially noticeable as a really high compli- ment to its recipient. The First German Methodist Episcopal Society in Milwaukee are building a beau- tiful church edifice. Bishop Pierce, of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, preached on Sunday, June 8, in the Trinity Methodist Episcopal church, At- Janta, Ga., and took a subscription of over $8,000 to Meet existing liabilities and complete the building.

The Wesleyans and the New Connection Methodists of Canada have in their conferences, held a few days ago, voted almost unanimously A General Conference is to complete the work next year. Lay delegates have also been elected to that Conference. The Primi- live Methodists in Conference rejected an overture for union, and the result was a split in the body and the organization of a Union Association, pledged to labor earnestly during the coming ecclesiastical year for the union cause. Rev. I. B. Van Meter, chap- Jain to the Naval Academy at Annapolis and mem- ber of the Baltimore Conference, has resigmed and will resume work in the regular pastorate.

Among them are the Trinity, Old South and Second churches, on the Back Bay: Holy Trinity, on Shawmut avenue; Roman Catholic, on Mount Pleusant; Swedenborgian, Highlands and some others. The most expensive will be probably the new Trinity, costing some four hundred thousand dollars. The ease with which Reformed churches betake them- selves, property and all, from that denomination to the Presbyterian has given great cause of com- laint lately; hence the General Synod of the Re- formed Dutch Church -recently convened in New Brunswick, N, J., instructed its delegates to the Presbyterian General Assembly to bring the matter formally before that body, A couple of churches in Philadelphia and nearly half a dozen here and in New Jersey have gone over during the year past. LEXINGTON AVENUE SYNAGOGUE. te . Qualifications for a Ruler—Education and Home Government=Sermon by the Rev. Dr. Huebsch. Yesterday Dr. Huebsch preached to his people from some of the last words of David, found in Il Samuel, xxiii, 3-5, “The righteous ruleth among men, ruling in the fear of God;” or, as it is translated in the common English version, “He that ruletn over men must be just, ruling in the fear of Ged. And he shall be as the light of the morning when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain. Although my house be not so with God, yet He hath made with me an everlasting covenant ordered in all things and sure; for this is all my salvation and all my desire, although He make it not to grow.’ The name of David, said the Doctor, is dear to every Jewish heart. The poet's lyre, the warrior’s sword, the sovereign’s crown, lay their triumphs and their glories at his feet, and weave for his brow a crown o/ never fading glory. He lives as a poet not only in the treasure ofsacred literature, butin all our places of worship. His songs are yet the Sweetest expressions of godly inspiration, and his royal name is the watchword of millions of hearts, the sign by wluch humanity shall conquer and the beacon light of ULTIMATE AND UNDISTURBED SALVATION. The last word of a parting man is always lis- tened to with a kind of awe. How attentive, then, ought we to be to the last words of a God- chosen man as David was. He wasthe ruler, but What does he confess as the foundation of human poweey Isit the sword, the arm of flesh which elped him to conquer his enemies? Many of us open the book of modern experience in life to ascertain how we may secure for ourselves power in life. A thousand ways are pointed out and all of them lead to the same end— money. He who has money ssesses the glory, the power and the might in eternity. amen! ‘That is an error which causes us to lose the most Picea gift which is graciously destined for every juman soul. Every man, even ve beggar who takes his morsel of bread out of charity’s hand, is entrusted by God with a kingdom. The Divine Spirit which liveth in him is the undeniable evi- dence of his rulership. But many of us deliver our credentials in the wrong quarters, and, there- fore, never attain that power for which we are striving. The true king in them is suppressed, and the power is given to the “old and foolisn king,” as the wise Solomon styles the LOWER INCLINATIONS OF MAN, which often usurp leadership over our nobler faculties. Money is good. It is like fire. You can accomplish innumerable things by its help; but if ou are not cautious it will burn your hands and arts, Itis good and serviceable as a servant— as a ruler it wields an tron sceptre. You become curbed and crushed under the tyrannical sway of the “old and foolish King.” ‘The idol worship of gold shows us the truth of the Scriptural saying that God visits the iniquities of the fathers on the sons. Not only our own salvation, but that of our children is affected by the invasion of this old and foolish king. Why is it that the rising generation grows old 80 soon? Why do they so quickly overreach their progenitors in maturity? It is because they copy us and seek for power in their own way. They set up the throne tor the old and foolish king—their own evil inclinations—and thereby become old and foolish themselves, But David, the man of varied experience, who ascended the Jloftiest heights and the lowest depths, and at the close of life looked back over his checkered career and asked himself what had given him his ae and his glory, he could appre- ciate how wavering and weak human power is without the fear ofGod. He, therefore, says the righteous rule among men in the fear of God, The Doctor then briefly referred to the one shadowed act of David's life in the matter of Uriah, and an- swered the objection that David could not have been aGod-fearing man at that time. The Doctor said the Bible speaks of him as the man who was raised up on high, the anointed of the Lord and the sweet singer of Israel. THE BIBLE DOES NOT FLATTER, It gives the circumstances 01 David's sin that his general character may appear more bright by the contrast. When Nathan called we see the King bowed down in humility and repentance and the curse of God rested upon him. We are to learn from him that one of the saddest characteristics of ourtimes i CB ed of the age. There are many evils committed, but not repented of. This ride is an old and foolish King, but he who resists fis encroachments shall be as the morning light— as the sun shining, even as morning without clouds. This pride 1s something that affects our children. The Doctor amplified and illustrated this point, which had & special a ge in view of the examination to-day of the schools attached to the synagogue. He contrasted the ened diligent character of the orphan children, some 0! haughtiness of children who have parents and guardians, He asked where are children to find piety F At home. And as the home religion is 80 shall be the piety of the children, He h the children of his people would grow up ham dient ‘and God-feariug—a blessing to the and on | FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, The Bank Statement of the eek. eee HEALTHY FIGURES.
