The complete overthrow of the Bibie is then a mere question of time. Spread natural sciences among every class of the people, and the Bible will .sink into insignificance and be regarded as the wildest book of dreams and riddles ever published, while the sacred book of nature, its infinite mysteries hotwithstanding, will be held in great veneration, and will also be the subject of indefatigable study and research, in order to unfold and find out those mysteries and marvellous laws for the advance- ment of knowledge and the increase o: human comfortableness, Nor is this all. The attack will be more strongly and philosophically directed against Christ, who, being considered the corner stone of the edifice, is to be, with mighty effort, divested of the halo of divinity by which he has been adorned by ignorant, superstitious Jews at first, and alterwards by the policy of emperors and kings, and in every age, but especially in ours, by priesthood, the greatest curse o! bomen Ay The inquiries about Christ imply the Trinity. For ar- gument’s sake let us suppose to be true all that 18 related in the Bible about the ransom of man- kind, God’s wisdom and power are highly cele- brated in every Rage of the Bible, and itis there stated that God’s mercy is over ali his works, the chief of which is man, made in his own image. History relates facts about painter and sculptors who have jeopardized thelr own life to save theirmasterpieces from some impending danger, 830 much did they value the fruits of their sublime intelligence. To what danger did not Townley expose himself to save the bust of Daphne, enveloped in laurel, conveying it to his carriage and keeping it in the same place where he sought a refuge, during the riots m Lendon in 1780? And yet he was simply an ama- teur! God did, however, dea! quite divferently, and although He created man in His own image, le had the heart to leave him to the snares and over- wheilming power of another work of His hgnds—of Satan—who, in heaven itself, disdaining to be His subject, had already rebelled with myriads of other spirits by him seduced, and had been hurled into the bottomiess pit forever andever. Satan, ina little while, seduced and ruimed man, and he effected such a terrible havoc on mankind with the leave of God, whose subdued and implacable enemy Satan was, Can any intelligent and redect- ing mind admit such a belief which makes of God the greatest and most cruel tyrant? ‘The fall of man, absurd as it is, sinks into insig- Rificance if we consider the absurdities of which it is the source. What injustice, for an instance, can be greater than this, viz.:—That Adam, origin and head spring of the curse on mankind, is saved, while millions after millions of his descendants, who did not consent to his disobedience, are doomed to be punished in everlasting fire? What faith but ignorance can betieve it? But let us speak of the redemption of Jesus Christ, where the impossibility and absurdity reach their apex. God, even according to the teaching of the Bible, is, and indeed must be, an intnite Spirit, and thereiore the incarnation of the Sou of God must have been that of an infinite ‘Spirit, as it is supposed to be the second person of the Holy Trinity. Now, Christ was, in all His ex- ternal appearance, like any other man; His divin- ity—that is to say, an infinite Spirit—must have been confined in His head cr His heart, or tn some other part of His body or mind, Can infivity be limited to anything or space? The very state- Ment of it is the greatest of all the absurdities ever uttered among men. But let us search a littie farther. Christ came to save what was lost— viz., ali _mankind—and for tmis purpose he laid down His own life. Can God be killed? If any- body says that Christ died in His human nature, then I answer that He did not redeem mankind, because St. Paul says that there is no remission of stn without effusion of blood. If, theu, the blood shed by Christ was only His blood asa man, then the Incarnation of the second person of the Trinity Was not necessary. I will grant, however, that He has redeemed humanity from sin and death, Why, then, there are still millions of heathens, ind- dels and very bad Christians ? And as to the true and faitnl followers of Christ, wno have been first regenerated by the baptism, and afterwards have been sanctified by confession and holy communion, or by justitication by iaith, according to the denomi- Bations to which they beiong, why are their children, offspring of person so _ holy, still the sons of divine rath? And again, as to those who are to be saved, novody can go to the Father if the Son do not bring that one to Him, and no one can go to the Sonif the Father do not bring him to the Son. Now, as the Father and the Son are coeternal, who will iead the way? Again, with what justice are the infidels upbraided with their stubborn infidelity, if neither the Father nor the Son call them? Or, if We must admit that they all are called, as it is hinted in the first chapter of St. John, are then the voice and grace of the Al- mighty God so powerless that they caunot softly bend the so-called stubbornness of an infidel? Who can get out of this circle’ Lastly, let me add only this other query—Wiy are the consent of man and his efforts to be saved necessary under the dis- pensation of Christ, if all mankind became cursed without consenting to the sin of Adam, nay, before they were born? The meeting of the Evangelical Alliance will, therefore, be a failure, although in your paper—so well managed and so widely diffused all the world over—itis stated in the issue of to-day that this “great Protestant Council gives promise of good practical work.” But it is my opinion it will only suow the apish spirit of Protestantisin, that tries to imitate the ecumenical councils of the Popes, ifthe great, learned, profound scholars and theologians now assembled in New York do not prove the rationality of Christianity and explain away the infinite objections which have been made and are daily made against the Bible in general and against each of its doctrines. It will notdo that those renowned doctors state that the Bible is divine—they ought to demonstrate with mathematical evidence such astatement. Anything short of this will never convert the unbelievers of this andall coming generations, aud how could they be converted without strong and evident arguments? Therefore I say again that the meet- ing of the Evangelical Alliance will be a failure, because the assembled doctors can never prove the divinity of the Bible, and Christianity will not In the Tabernacle Baptist church, Rev.

To THF EpiTor Or THE HERALD :— No man of ordinary intelligence, if he will take the trouble to reflect a littie, can fail to perceive the daily increasing tendency of the human mind toward rationalism. Religion, with its innumerable and absurd tenets, will be, within a few genera- tons, a thing of the past, in spite of the hopes and the confident language of Christian preachers. Nor is this bold statement of mine a paradox, but it is the logical consequence of the spirit of inquiry and ireedom of conscience. In this age, when everything is submitted to the strictest, most se- vere and most profound scrutiny and criticism, it 1s impossible that religion can stand its ground. It Matters little or nothing that there are so much church-going and s0 expensive church building. Human reason bas begun and will not cease to ask, every day with more increasing strength and per- . bistency, the rational, evident proof of whatever is tanght as divinely revealed. Science is pulling down religion as surely as an untimely frost nips the sprouting buds of the most delicate flowers. Who, in the light of geology, does to-day believe in the Mosaic account of creation? Of course, every dally efforts to explain away the ed by scientific men against the Bible, but who gives credit to those explanations, except those among their hearers who either want common sense or are plunged in vast and absorb- ing business, or willingly shut their eyes to tne light Which streams in such an abundance and splendor from the sun of geological science ? Now, if the very first page of the so-called Divine Book is ain an inch of ground against free thinking. Vould it, then, not have been much better to em- | Wil be assisted by twenty voices. ‘fhe cong! ‘There will be a grand musical vespers at seven o’clock in the evening, at which Mr, John Howlen, basso, and Miss Nellie Kenney, soprano, and other members of tie excellent choir of the chureh will assist, under the direction of the ac- complished organist Mrs. Wm, M, Adams, The regular choir, which 1s composed of volunteers, rega- tion is small, but faithful and zeaious in their en- deavors to pay off the debt which remains upon their edifice. The well known ability and piety of the Lazarist Fathers will prove a great attraction to people of all denominations residing in the vicinity of the Church o/ the Nativity, to attend Uhe services during the spiritual exercises of the mission, The event ts, therefore, reyarded as most propitious by the parishioners. Bishop Bedell and St. Paul. To THS EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— : I see that Right Rey, Dr. Bedell, of Ohio, ts ad- vertised to preach before the “Evangelical Allt- ance” that “Denominational Differences are no Barto Christian Unity.” Now, I suggest that, being a bishop of that body which claims to be a part of the Catholic Church, he condone the aid he will then and there give to “false doctrine, heresy and schism,” by afterwards explaining the meaning of the following texts of Scripture :— But if he neglect to hear the Chureh let him be unto Thee as an heathen man and a publican.— Matt. xvili., 17. For by one spirit are we all baptized into one body * * * that there should be no schism in the body.—L Cor., xit., 13 and 25, L ied His body’s sake Which is the Church.—Coll., D One body, one spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one bap- tism.—Eph., iv., 4, For there must be also heresies among you that they which are approved may be made manifest.— I Cor., xi, 19, A man that is an heretic (in original sectary) after the first and second admo- nition reject.—Titus, i., 10, Now, I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and oifences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by good words and fair speches deceive the heads of the simple.— Romans, Xvi, 17 and 18. Paul * * * unto the Church of God which is at Corinth, * * * { beseech you, brethren, by the Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.—I Cor., 1. Of course we all know that itis only a little dif- ference of opinion between Bishop Bedell and St. Paul as to whetber there is or should be one body, the Church, or a great many bodies—one faith or @ great many differing faiths, one baptism or more of different kinds— whether the Church is or is not to be re- cognized as empowered to decide controversies between Christians, Still we would like to have Bishop Bedell prove that he has truth on his side when he says *‘divisions” are ail right and St. Paul declares them all wrong. Who is right, Bishop Bedell or'St, Paul? H, D. J. Important Clerical Changes—Creation of New Parishes—Promotion and Transfer of @riests. Archbishop McCloskey has divided the ecclesias- tical district over which the Rev. Father Brady, of Rosendale, Ulster county, exercised spiritual juris” diction, into two parishes, and assigned the Rev. Father Daty, assistant pastor of the Chureh of St. Rose of Lima, Delancey street, to the pastorate of Rosendale, vice the Rev. Father Brady, transferred to the new parish of Milton, Ulster county. The parish of Tarrytown has been made more manage- able by the creation of the new parochial district of Irvington, ot which the Rev, Patrick McGuire, assistant pastor of the Chureh of the Immaculate Conception, East Fourteenth street, has been appointed the first pastor, Father McGuire has had considerable experience in the discharge of priestly duties under the guidance of the learned Dr. Morrogh, and his iriends predict for him much success in his new 76le of pastor. The Rev. John Edwards, iate business munager of St. Joseph’s Ecclesiastical Seminary, Troy, N. Y., having been obliged, on ac- count of’ illheaith, to resign bis position in the seminary, has been promoted to the dignity of first assistant pastor of the Church of the linmacu- late Conception, ‘The Rey, Father Salter, assistant pastor of St. Patrick's, will in future officiate as assistant to the Rev. John Ambrose Keogh, pastor of Cornwail, Orange county. ‘the Rev. James T. Barry, for many years assist- ant to the venerable Pather McAleer, pastor of St. Columba’s, West Twenty-filth street, has been transierred to the Church of St. Rese of Lima. The Rev. Father Campbell, assistant pastor of the Church of the Holy Cross, West Forty-second street, will to-day take Father Barry's place in the church of St. Columba. The parishioners of tne Church of St. Rose of Lima, although rejoiced at the-well deserved pro- motion of Father Daly, tee! much regret at his leaving them. It is said that measures will be taken to present him with a _ suitable expression and substantial proof of their affection for him, Aithough born in this city Father Daly is thoroughly conversant with the Irish language, and on coniession days it was cus- tomary ior those who wished to confess their sins iv the ‘ancient language of Ireland to crowd the confessional of “Sogarta” Daly. The creation of other parishes in the city is spoken of, but as yet nothing definite has been de- vermined. * The spiritual wants of the mmmigrants who arrive at Castle Garden cause the Archbishop much paternal anxiety, and it is not at all unlikely that a church will soon be erected near the Bavtery, in which the sea-tossed and home-sick exile may thank God for his safe voyage across the Atlantic and pray for heaith and strength and success in ploy the great deal of money squandered in-this reat meeting in other humanitarian purposes— in allaying the sufferings and groans of the poor or in giving instruction to the ignorant of every nation, in order to teach them their duties as ra- tional beings and as citizens’ LANZA FONVECCL New Yorks, Oct. 3, 1873. Who Are “Evangelical!” To THE EpIToR OF THE HERALD:— Thatl with special delight any movement that tends to obliterate the lines ot partyism, shatter sectarian walls and unite all Christians around the common cross of Christ. In so jar as the Alliance now in session accomplishes this work, I greet it with a hearty “godspeed.” I can but fear, however, that the great convocation is doomed to suffer a partial defeat by its own self-imposed re- strictions. Why should it ve thought necessary to place in the very ante-room of this Christian council an unsightly “iron bedstead” on which to measure each others theological make up? Have human creeds ever been found specially service- able in removing religious asperities and fusii the Christian world into one blessed mouid ot love? Exactly the reverse. Creeds have divided and subdivided the ranks of Christ’s projessed fol- lowers, until the shrivelling bigotry and unhal- lowed rivalries of the hundreds of existing sects have exerted a most withering influence and fur- nished the very food on which infidelity has gloated and grown fat. Must it be confessed that Christendom is so creed-bound as to make it impossible to have a great and glorious gathering of Christians, with the Bibie as the only bond of union and Christian character as the only basis of fellowship? How ravisuing would be such a scene! Augels might well condescend to grace it with their presence. But instead of this we have various points of doc- triné designated to which all must subscribe before they become eligible to election as members of the Evangelical Alliance. As if balf ashamed of such a cramping policy the projectors wish us to under- stand that this summary is not to be regarded exactly as @ creed, “but simply as an mndication of the class of persons whom it is desirable to em- brace within the Alliance.”” “Why is It not “desirable toembrace” all real Vnristians? Will they contend that a man must Swallow every article they liave served up for one | theological breakfast in order to be “Evangelical ?”” | Who delegated to them the wonderful authority to decide just what belongs to orthodoxy’ Do they hot know that men and women can be found as deeply devoted to God and as fully in sympathy With the divine Son of God as any that earth can produce, who yet reject the doctrine of the “Trin- ity?” And are they still unaware of the fact that pat sd number of earnest Christians—diamonds of the lirst water—reject as unscriptural the doc- trine oi he immortality of the soni,” because they belleve it to be irreconciliable with “the res- urrection of the body ?” know of several faithful ministers of Jesus Christ—-men of talent, culture and piety—who have been elected as delegates to the Alliance, and who are here from a distance on purpose to attend; but they cannot be admitted because the prescribed creed effectually shuts them out. They believe in Christian union—ay, they believe in more union than has yet become fashionable. Well, thank God for any indications that the old weatherbeaten wails of sectarian bigotry are growing weak. If we do not yet see all we desire we will take cour- age from what has actually been accomplished. A large number of Christians are coming to see that there is but one true Church of Christ on earth, and that Church 1s composed of all the saints, whether inside or outside of existing organiza- tions. May God roll on the ball of Christian union! Yours for Gospel liberty. A. A. PHELPS. Mission of the Lazarist Fathers in Brooklyn. The promised mission of the Lazarist Fathers in Brooklyn will commence this morning at the Chur of the Nativity (of which Rev. M. J. Moran is pastor), corner of Madison street and Classon avenue, A grand solemn high mass will be cele- false, as science has demonstrated and is daily strengthening the proof of its statement, what must be thought of the whole book?

THIRTY-FOURTH STREET SYNAGOGUE. The Death of Good Men Always Timely— Sermon by the Rev. Dr. Vidaver. The comparatively small congregation which gathered in the synagogue in Thirty-fourth street yesterday gave evidence that an interim between the festivals had come. A few days ago, on the Day of Atonement, the house could not contain those who were anxious to go up to the house of the Lord. But yesterday there was ample room for all’and to spare. Dr. Vidaver preached on the death of Moses, his text being the command of God to Moses to ‘‘go up to the Mount Abarim and die there, as thy brother Aaron also died.” Re- ligion, he said, teaches us that there ts a time to be borp and atime todie, That hour comes not too soon, but when it does come that is the best time for us to die, We have no right to complain that this or that great man died too soon, for tne life of @great ora good man is not measured by the days of the calendar but by his life of virtue and goodness and holy deeds, IT 18 WRONG TO COMPLAIN that a good man has died too soon, since life is but @ shadow —a shooting star from the skies, And God will not question any man about the quantity of his labors, but, rather, about the quality thereof. Our rabbies also teach that the man, not his work, must be accomplished when he goes upto the mount to die. Itis not how much we do, but what we have been that shall be required of us in heaven. Our life is but a tale briefy told, a flower that breathes for a little; but the lives oi the great and the good continue long alter they have away from our midst. . Moses was 120 years old, yet his eye was not dim nor his natural force abated. The inference, there- fore, is that if he had lived longer he might have accomplished much more. But God told him his hour had come, and jor him bis work was dene, Though he had lived to the age of Methuselah ne be be not have accomplished all that lay before m. NO MAN CAN COMPLETE 13 WO! It must be taken up by others. Moses had done what mortal man couid do butnothing more. The Doctor then referred to the paternal biessings of Moses to the Wj ag of Israel. ese words, he said, were filled with wisdom and consolation, which have been the wisdom of Israel in the eyes of all nations. Happy Israeli—a people saved by the Lord. He who is and who was and who will be throughout all ages the same—the Holy One. This doctrine was taught by the rabbies as Moses taught it, and we are to call upon Him who is the Lora and beside whom there is no Saviour. The good man dies as other men die. History has no more exalted name than that ofMoses, His nam 2 te With ali that ts hoble and immortal, and yet he died without com- pleting his work. Joshua had to carry it forward, and we are rearing that structure Whose founda- tion was jaid by Moses. And every man in Israel ought to be engaged in finishing the building. But when will it be completed’ hen the eart shall be filled with the knowledge of the Lord and all shall know Him, from the least unto the great- est. And if we carry His spirit with usin our work MOSES WILL LIVE IN U8, We see that men like Columbus, Washington, &¢., die without comp! ng, their task. It must be carried on by others, ut men are brought into the world, and, a8 a humorous poet has said, They know not why they’ In not to oat the Trait and corn Consume the cattle, fowl and fish, And die and leave an empty dish: It is not given to every man to have his name or his deeds emblazoned on the pages of history; but itis the privilege of every man and woman benefit humar A} in that sphere of life to which God may have led them. We live sevent: years, and they are years full of sorrow, though they may be full of joy; and it we live so as to make our lives joyful Whenever the summons comes we shall be ready to ascend the mount and die there in the resence of God, which the Doctor ort might Bethe privilege ofevery one. chy CHRISTIAN UNION. Second Day’s Proceedings of the Conference of the Evangeli- eal Alliance. DUPLICATE SESSIONS HELD. Immense Crowds Throng Association Hall and Dr. Crosby's Church. Eloquent Addresses on Christian Union from Dr. Hodge, of Princeton; Dr. Potter, Dr. Crook, the Dean of Canterbury, and from German and French Delo- gates — Broad Princi- ples of Union. The Arrangements for the Meetings To-Day and To-Morrow. The second day’s proceedings of the Conference ofthe Evangelical Alliance were characterized by an enthusiasm that manifested itself in an attendance that was found to be far too large for the two houses in which the Conference held their sessions and in a quickness of perception of the points of the speeches that addressed themselves more im- mediately to the inner consciousness of the audi- tory. In accordance with the custom of the Alli- ance, devotional exercises were held at Madison Square church at nine o’clock, when the following city clergymen and delegates took part :—The Rev. Dr. Adams, of this city; the Rev. Dr. Anderson, of Rochester; the Dean of Canterbury, the Rev. J. C. Harrison and the Rev. C. Dallas Marston, of Lon- don, and the Rev. Mr. Sheshadra, of Bombay. After the prayer by the Rev. Mr. Shishadra the missionary hymn “From Greenland’s icy moun- tains’ was sung, and other hymns were also sung with much fervor. The services closed with the Tepetition of the Lord's Prayer by the Dean of Canterbury. Acrowd importunate for admission somewhat interfered with the commencement of the proceed- ings of the Conference at Association Hall, and finding that the crowd was largely on tne increase Dr. Schenck, of Brooklyn, and Dr. Crosby spontane- ously decided to hold a second session of the Con- ference in Dr. Crosby’s church in Fourth avenue. There seekers for admission to the hall went, and this church was soon - filled to overflowing. Addresses were delivered by sev- eral of the delegates who had spoken in Associa- tion Hall, and a remarkably interesting statement was listened to with a most devoted attention from the Rev. Mr. Sheshadra, of Bombay, The prelimi- Bary proceedings of the Conference may be said to have been brought to a close by the session that closed yesterday afternoon, and on Monday the Conference wilt enter upon the more practical work of dealing with the actual dificulties, by the reading of papers and discussion thereon, that beset the progress of Christianity in the region of reason and faith, The Morning Sermon. At ten o'clock the Conference was called to order, but some little delay was experienced in conse- quence of the crowded state of the halls and corri- dors and the arrangements that were at once made for another meeting of the Conference, to be held in Dr. Crosby’s church, on Fourth avenue. The Rev. Dr, Coulin, of Geneva, opened the meet- ing with prayer, which was delivered in the French language. ADDEFSS OF DR. HODGE. br. Hodge (ot Princeton Theological Seminary, Now Jersey) sald thatthe unity of the Church may be vielved In three different aspects: and first in regard to the Church as consisting of scattered believers throughout the world. Th no difference of opinion as regards the unity in Christ; there was-a diflerence of opinion as to what consututed that unity. Every believer isin Christ, not gnly by the conscious renewing and indwelling of the Holy Ghost, but by the voluntary act of accepting Christ im his lite. h what he From this follows, no matter who he is or he isin the Church. ‘ (Cheers) Just as much in unity witn the Church as the hand is tothe body. This was on!y simple, plain every day Gospel truth. We seem isolated beings here, but we are as really one as this body is one. There is no more common reproach than that Christians are divided. But they were one in faith and one increed. All believed in the Apostiew creed. More than this, every Christian Church on eart! torical churcn—believes in the six doctrines of the first: Ecumenical Council. Where was the Christian who did not bow his knee to Christy In believing in Christ we believe that Ho died for us that He rose again for us, and that without His sanctitying power we are unab! enjoy the Influences of the Divine Spirit one in iaith; of course there is diversity. So. long as we know. only in part we cannot always believe the same way. (Cheers) In the second place we are not only one in’ faith, but we are one in the inner life. Let an anatomist place his ear to the heart of any human being and he will find the same mystic murmurs there. Let any man place hisear to any Christian's heart and he will find that heart beating the same way. Applause.) The relizious experience of the people of God betore the flood was the same as the experience of Christians now. Where can be found more sui perience than the lang cannot help giving the ri language tor our present ex- e of David and Isaiah? We it hand of fellowship to a man whom we recognize as a Christian; and if we recognize him as that we must ‘Knowl. edge him in all the relations of life. (Cheers. It is inevitable, trom the very nature of Christian life, that there should be organization. Chrisuans are spiritually united in one body entities | they are so, too; for every Christian i: i nd by right ally an memnber of every Chris (Loud cheers). The terms ot Christian union are the terms of salvation. No Church has aright to demand more to enter a Church than Christ demands to enter heaven. The Church is also one because it ts subject to one tribunal. The third aspect of the question deals with the tact that different organizations divide themselves into denominational What was the duty of those churches? First, Fecognition. If we havea right to acknowledge a man as a Christian we have also the right to acknowledge Chureh. For a church is a body of men who are C tians. A Christian is a Christian wherever he gocs, It is regarded, too, that Christians should acknowledge one ot the other that the sacraments and ordinances of one Charch should be valid in the eyes of the other. So it ordination is, as the Romanlsts hold, the communication of supernatural grace, then none are ordained who have Not received this. Butif this is, as Protestants believe, that a cail to the ministry Is the call of the Holy Ghost, and that no Church can tuake a minister any more than itcan make a Christian, then that is the true ordination. (Loud cheers.) I know there is a theory contrary to this: but if nothing external makes ristian, there ix nothing external that mi & minister. The duty and mission of each Church ts to Promote” the progress of | Christianity | through. out the world. It all denominational ies are thus hound to recognize the sacraments and ordi- nances of each church, then the whole evangelical Church throughout the world would appear to man as it does to God, one sacramental host all devoted to one grand object, (Loud cheers.) ADDRESS OF DR. POTTER, Dr, Porter, of Union College, New York, said he would address himself to the popular aspect of this question of union. If the article of the creed Is true then there must be a greater oneness and sympathy in organic ideas than ‘was yet manifested before all Christians could see eye to e What is wanted is, in al ‘hools and univer- sities, less indoctrination "and a wider sympathy with the general principles ot Christianity, The influence ot architecture and the ‘wsthetic elements of the houses of worship, the influence of literature, the influence of hymns and the evangel of inusic are all helping in a marvellous degree the union of Christians. Selence and the prayers of Christians are doing infinitely more even than these. The light that is already dawning will reveal to the Christian soul that raver of the Master that “all may be one, as thou, Father, art one in me.” (Loud cheers) “ROOK OF AGES" Alter this address the well known hymn, “Rock of Ages,” was sung by the audience, with the organ accompaniment, ADDRESS OF REV. DR, CROOKS. Dr. Crooxs was the next speaker, and appeared for Bishop Simpson, of Philadelphia, who was unable to be resent. ‘The Doctor, alter expressing is regret that he Bishop was not present with his thrilling voice to speak to this great question, said that he took the place of the Bishop because it would not be seemly, for the largest Protestant commippity in thia country to be dumb ‘on this great occasion. He sald he wouid take a some- what more historic view than the previous speaker had taken, ‘the three great factors that had sented the solution of this social problem were Uniformity, Unanimity and Unity. The insistance upon these had prevented the solving of the problem. We should give the largest liberty to those who think differ- ently to ourselves. John Wesley, in his address to his churches, said he would not ask for unity of opinion. John Wesley desired, ashe said, to have a leayue, offensive and defensive, with every true soldier of Chrish ADDRESS OF THE DEAN OF CANTERBURY. The Very Rev. R. Parxx Sarr, D. D., of England. spoke to the subject of “Christian Union Con: istent with Denominational Institutions.” Controve when carried on in a bitter spirit, was dis: astrous: it is only love to conduct controversies in a ennobiing side of Christian history was the introduction of principles that were promative of love and good with to men. The object of this Alliance was to put aside the internal differences and to held them in a more Christian manner, and to unite in one common object in with- standing the assaults of the enemies of our one Lord and one Master, and of being one in winning the world for Christ.

ADDRESS BY REV. 0. DALLAS MARSTON. NN, non, then read & paper ad said that the article of the Christian creed which expresses belief in the communion of saints was of comparatively late in- troduction, but was based on the Word of God, and full of the richest promises. ‘The comprehensivengss of the phrase was shown by the expressions, “Our fellowship is, with the Father und Hts Son Jesus Christ” “The Spirit of "an the Holy Ghost be with you all many Kindred passages in tho New Testament, show- in that communion was the tel- lowship with ame " as ihe Most High, and involved the most precious privileges, have If we. iellowship with the Father we must walk in the light. as he walks, and we are heirs of His kingdom. It we have fellowship with the Son we must be one with Christ on earth and in Christ r. We must have fellowship also in His suiler- hough this we are too prone to forget, ‘The saints joyed the pllowasip of the Holy Spirit, and were called upon with the Spirit to bear witness to Christ. By the exercise of different virtues, therefore, we were privileged to manifest our fellowship with each member ot the Trinity. The communion of the saints was on all their joint service to God, and their common inheritance ‘of the blessings of the new cove- nant, To promote Christian fellowship on earth we must remember that we are all children of God and travelling toward the same goal. We must cultivate our fellowship as believers in Jesus, and recognize our oneness In Him. To bring the points of a circle newrer to each other we Must not press two pomts together, for that separates them still further from others, but we must lessen the ¢ircumference and bring it nearer to the centre, which in the Christian Church is Jesus Christ, The speaker then said that the assembly of the Evangelical Alliance Was a confession that Christ wasall andall. We no longer said “s umun corpus in Christo” (Let us be one body in Christ), but “Sumus weum corpus in Christo” (We are one body in Christ). Afternoon Session. ADDRESS BY BISHOP BEDELL. Bishop Bedell was the first speaker, He began with a brie eulogium on the late Bishop Melivaine, who, he said, is now realizing what we are praying for.’ Bishop Bedell’s paper related to the consistency of Christian union with denominational distinctions. Protestantism, he said, had oiten been declared a failure, because it is split up into sects. But uniformity is not necessary to unity, Protestantism is not a church; Evangelism is not @negation. There has been no oneness in the Church from the beginning, if outward unitormity constituted that oneness, Alllance is a well chosen term. It ex- Presses the cencluston at the beginning. The term union, employed in the proposition, is not felicitous, | 1t not’ synonymous with unity. Organic union impossible between denominations ig- minor differences. But shall we the church of Christ contains no real unity because denominational distinctions exist ? Denominationalism did not spring out of the Retorma- tion, though that event gave it prominence; but it has exisied for eighteen conturies | But, there have been sadder facts than these—the attempt to crush out free thought and to bring everything into conformity with the Church of Rome. Who does not know that sects, under the mask of Rome, aro to-day contending more flercely than in Protestantism? But denominational dis- functions arose from national prejudices—nervous, physical, mild—and mental capabilities; and until these peculiarities become uniform we must have denomina- Honalism, Denominations can never wholly disappear until trath and free thought can be crushed out. Diiter- ences in the Church exist according to a law, and are the necessary preservatives of the pure Gospel. We are living urider a law in which denominationalism is consistent with Christian union. The Bishop then spoke of the unity of Christians with the Father, with Christ, with the purposes ot His Church—that is the vnion’ for which Christ prayed. It was a spiritual unity that Christ looked for, that all Christians may be one in Himself aud the Fatnér, ‘That is not an organic unity. ‘This spiritual unity is tobe the world’s testimony. ‘The union of the Father and the son cannot be seen. That prayer of Christ hus not been unanswered: The Church hax always been one, has always maintained spiritual unity, with which all denominational distinctions be- come’ consistent. God be praise for whatever an Evan- gelical Alliance shall fortify in our souls through Christ Jesus, our Lord. (Applause.) ADDRESS OF A FRENCH DELEGATE. Dr. Cook, of Paris, said that with heartfelt gratitade to God he wished to Say that nowhere in the world was there more umity among Christians than in France. Pastors in France are all on a periect equality as to their ordination. Indeed, it was quite a common thing for the three principal Protestant Churches to unite with the Reformed Church in the solemn act ot ordination. The Sunday Se 1 Glauions, of France, were founded on the principles of the Kvangeltcal Alliance. At the bedside of Adolphe Mound there was called, at his own request, pasiors of different denominations to give him counsel and to administer to him the holy communion. The week of prayer in the first month of the year had been productive of the greatest good and a stimulus to unity. General Exhibition of Paris in 1807 there were ‘remarka- ble manifestations of the spirit of the Evangelical Alli- ance. In the war of 1870-1871 that were known as “‘Evai betore was the word “Evangelical” si known in Paris. During the days ot “the Commune” the brethren felt how benelicial was the practice of united meetings when they had to meet together for counsel. United co-operation is the order of the day for Christian work in France. In the concersasione of one of the well known citizens of Paris there were regular and stated conversazioni atgehiich there were from sixty t0 eighty of the professors of colleges, prominent pastors ot churches, including always two or three of the popular and well known clergy of the Roman Catholic Church. (Cheers) What was wanted, perhaps, more than any- thing else in France was a frequent interchange of pul- pits. There was no good reason why itshoula not be done; and if there was not an exchange of preachiny there’ should certainly be a united effort in the giving o1 lectures or in the initiation of revival meetings oud cheers.) A GERMAN DELEGATE. Rev. W. NOEL, of Berlin, delivered, in German, an address on’ the “Objects and Influence of the Bvangelical Alliance in Promoting Christian Union and Keligious Liberty.” DR. CONRAD, OF PHILADELPHIA. Dr. Coxnan followed’ in an address on “The Inter- change of Pulpits.” After defining the origin and imis- sion of the office of ministers of the Gospel, he said that interchange of pulpits could not take place with the Komish Church. The doctrines of the Council of Nice and the canons of the Council of ‘Trent are in full force now, , a8 in the Providence of God, the Protestant Church came out from among the Romanists, there could be no. consistency, therefore, in interchanging pulpits with that Church. ' There was the same necessity that there should be an Interchange of pulpits in Evan- gelical churches only. In the Jewish synagogues, in the olden time, Paul was called upon to preach upon them and he dil so. The propriety of pulpit exchanges Was foreshadowed in the Jewish Synagogue, and was also supported by Apostolic example. The Doctor then explained at length his view of the real unity of Evangelical Protestant Christendom. Let them look at the declaration of Jesus, “One is your master, and all yo are brethren.” Let them realize the scriptural inter- pretations of the Scriptures, and the true ideal of the Shurch, which isan army ‘led by one Captain; all of this army's leaders being subordinated to his co: (Loud cheers.) At five o’clock the Conference adjourned until aa morning at ten o’clock, at Association The Meetings To-Day. Dr. Adams made several announcements as to future meetings, the more significant of which had reference to the public meetings at the Academy of Music and Steinway Hall thisevening at half past seven o’clock. Admission to the Academy of Music willbe by tickets, which will be obtained gratuitously at the dovrs, A portion of the Academy will be reserved for those hoiding tickets for admission to the meetings at Association Hall, On Monday there will be two sections of the Conterence, to be designated the ‘Theological’ and the “Philosophical ;” the latter to be held at St. Paul's Methodist churen, corner Twenty-second street, and the former at Association Hall The object of this division was explained by Dr. Adams to aiford an opportunity for discussion after the Teading of the respective papers, Programme for Monday.

New York, Oct, 4, 1873, To THE EDITOR or THE HERALD:— J am 4 negro, and a clergyman, and I preach in this big city. On a moderate calculation there are in New York 25,000 colored people, who belong altogether, with the exception of about 400 Roman Catholles, to our beloved Protestant creed, The majority of colored people adhere to the Methodist Church. I asked for admission to the Evangell- cal Conference at Association Hall, and I could not be admitted because my skin was black. Docs the sine discriminate among the shades of feature and cuticle? The Protestant Church all over the world is in favor of liberty. All the reverend delegates come here with fraternal spirit, and yet a colorea preacher cannot have the floor or take part in a debate in the Evangelical Alliance. Why should we Prot- estants and pure Christians boast of our supe- riority to the Church of Rome if the Young Men’s Christian Association, which I highly respect for the good that it has done, determines to keep colored men from taking part in @ council which 18 vital to the interests of Christi- anity?

And Ihave also been informed that there were five or six colored bishops in the Ecumenical Council which declared the infallivility of the present Pope. Shall evangelical Christians be leas inberal or have less charity than Romanists? Pro- fession is pomings action is everything. Let the Alliance look to it A COLORED CLERGYMAN, MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC NOTES. Signor Salvint has pow appeared before the New York public in four parts—Othello, Ingomar, Corrado, in “La Morte Civile,” and Hamlet. Three of these belong to the vigorous school of dramatic art, but the other is the sublimest inte lectual creation of the stage, It is not complimen- tary to Salvini’s art that he fell so far below him- Self in other parts in dealing with this great crea- tion. His previous efforts had been confined to the bloody drama. His personation of Othello was peculiarly powerful, because his inspiration was, drawn (rom the bloody traits which distinguish the Moorish murderer. His Ingomar was most thrill- ing where with barbaric cruelty he raises his hand to strike down a defenceless woman. His Corrado was the beast of the galleys, most vivid where it was most beastly. All hig previous characters were murderers, and hideous monsters; but, not content with these, he must needs make his Hamlet also a murderer and a”, hideous monster. It seems that he is incapable of grasping the intellectual in art, though possessed ofextreme power in impressing refined natures with the very courtliness of cruelty. Is it possible that this is owing to his Italian blood and birth— that Roman blood which gave the world the mon- sters of the purple and the purlieus; that in later days has employed mustc to adorn the outbursts of the basest passions of the human heart? Be it as it may, this, at least, is certain—that Salvini’s Hamlet, homogeneous as it is in the conception of the actor, and consistent as it is with itself, is a counterfeit as base a8 that which the Queen chose to replace Hamlet’s father. In conception and execution it degrades the artist to the Edwin Eddy school of actiug, and calls for severe castiga- tion, because it is trifing in what is great and grand and glorious, tame where it should be sub- lime, and magnificent only im such blundering a8 bullying the Queen and maltreating—it was this or nothing—the gentle and unfortunate Ophelia. “Notre Dame” still holds the boards at the Lyceum Theatre and receives the favor of good audiences, It will not be retained longer tham part of next week, arrangements having been made for the production of other novelties, in the first of which Mr. George Belmore will appear. ‘The English rendering at the Olympic Theatre of “La Fille de Madame Angot,’”? by Mrs. Oates’ com- pany, has been attended by large audiences. It will probably run for several weeks. Mrs. Oates? lapse from burlesque to comic opera has been very easy. Her performance of Clairette, though it lacks the chic of French demoiselle, is yet very pleasant, and she deserves the encouragement she receives. Mrs, F. W. Lander’s impersonations of the char- acters of “Queen Elizabeth” and “Mary Stuart” are among the most perfect ot tragic representations. They compare with ‘“Marle Antoinette” of Ristorl, as was seen when the Italian actress and Mra. Lander performed in this city at the same time, some years ago. Mrs. Lander will reappear, as “Elizabeth” at Mrs. Conway’s Brooklyn Theatre to-morrow evening, and continue the performance through a week’s engagement. The old tamiliar cricket will chirp again at Booth’s Theatre, as Maggie Mitchell will begin her engagement there to-morrow evening in the char- acter of Fanchon. “The Ticket-of-Leave-Man,”’ that most long-lived of guilt-purged convicts, will be exhibited by Mr. Florence, at the Park Theatre, in Brooklyn, during the week. Bob is now become venerable from age, and it is something of a mockery to compel him to seem a hearty “Lancashire lad.” “The Geneva Cross” will be continued at the Union Square Theatre for perhaps many weeks. By the way, a certain Mr. Morris Krauskopf has become excited over What he says are violations in Mr. Rowe’s play of the copyrights of two dramas written by him, and he threatens to go into the courts for relief, Mr. J. K. Emmett went to England, and the dis- covery in him of a peculiar genius was immediate. It is hard to know every effect of climate, and, therefore, in extenuation of the failures of Ameri- can theatre-goers, it may be allowed, we hope, to assume that sea air evoked good qualities for Mr, Emmett as an actor, which he did not possess be- lore he breatbed ambient atmosphere of the ocean. And then again the London fog may have set upon and kept in thrall those qualities which Mr. Em- mett had while here. (tis desirable that all who goto see Mr. Emmett atthe Broadway Theatre to-morrow night should have some thought of climatic influences. If Mr. Emmett's performances should not be good, why either of two things is proved—the influence of the English climate does not last in ours, or the English critics were sadly mistaken in their estimates of his act- ing. If, however, the performance of ‘Max’? should be good what better could those actors in whom our people do not see the evidences of genius do than go abroad to absorb the subtle spirit of dramatic inspiration in England ? The first Sunday concert of the Ninth Regiment Band will be given at the Central Park Garden this evening. The Fifth Avenue Theatre company will play in Philadelphia another week, Next week they ap- pear in Brooklyn. LITERARY CHIT-CHAT. Mus.

Baron de Wogan’s description of American civill- zation is very entertaining.
