The filth regular Sabbath evening prayer meeting apd temp Harry Hill's iu East Houston street, and the body oi the hall, the bar, ante-rooms and stairways were éensely crowded by the votaries of temperance, ver 300 persens being present, The rooms were Driiliantly lit up, and tue scene had more of the ap- pearance of a carnival than a gathering for prayer. ‘At the edge of the large assemblage the soiled doves Were scattered about pleotiully, aud seemed to be enjoymg themselves to the hearts? content, chatting, laugh- ing, talking and eating pigs’ feet and peanuts. Down stairs, sub ros the demon rum had some customers who drank in a shamefaced way, and on the platform up stairs the praying and ex- hhorting band were gathered in large numbers, About fifty women, principally commanicants of the Church of the Strangers, of which Rev. Dr. Deems is pastor, were present. Harry Hill was present, and carried a little wooden mallet in his hand, wherewith to keep the Beopuytes in order. Harry was cleanly shaved, neatly dressed, and had a most orthodox “get up.’? In conv tion with the reporter he stated, before the exercises began “some Oi the people are not here to-night, and I dou't know why they dida’t put in han appear- anc There’s Summuat crooked, | think.

Harry has a ‘ashion of talking aside to the re- porters, aud as soon as he was seated he wiis- ered in an interrogating way “po Llook hanything like Andy Johnson?

Dr. Skinner's remarks were Taiher ol @ YTambling and chaotic nature, and tended more to coniuse than enlighten hus audience. He repeated a story of his “preceptor? who taught him algebra forty years avo in the village oi Berwick, Maine, several times, ‘aud bis remarks contained the words “plus,” “minus,” aud “negative quantity” to an indefinite extent, Dr. Skiuner seewert to be act- ing the par! of Boswell to his ancient preceptor as M he were another Sam Johnson.

Another byinn Was then sung, aud about a hun- éred persous joined im the chorus, alter wich Harry Hill rose, and, Kuocking Wita his pammer to obtain quiet, said :— . “florder, ge ; horder, please.

OFFICIAL VERDICT. THE The followmg is the textof the decision ren- dered by the Congregational Council aiter a secret session lasting two days and a half:— THE DECISION OF THE COUNCIL. This Council has listened carefully to the com- Mittees of tae churches by which it was conveued, and bas received from them a clear and earnest statemeut of the aims and principles which have determined the action of tne churches in the pro- ceedings Which they ask us to review. We have also received from Jlymouth chureh a com- Tunication dechung an imvitation trom this Council, as Well as from these two churces, to appear by iis pasior and committee and assist in the presentation and discussion Of the questions before us, but at the saine time offering suggestions and argumenrs which we have care:uuy and candidly considered, We can- not doubt thé right of these two churches io ask advice Of us coneerning the regularity and the Christian character of what they have done in their dealing with Plymouth church. No cuureh is beyoud the reach of the public opimion of otber | churches, expressed either directly or through an ecciesiastical council. Any church in its essential and wmalienable independence may, in the exer- cise Of @ reasonavie discretion, consider any pub- tic actions of any other church; may in proper methods express its approval or disapproval, and may make that public action the subject of iriendly correspondence and remonsirance, or, U need be, the ground o/ a temporary or permanent cessation O1 acts of ntercommupion. ‘There have been laid before u* a series of letters that have passed between tiese two churches and the Plymouth church, On that corresponuence it is our unquestionable rignt to have an opinion and to expressit, tiough We have no tight to try the Piy- moutu church asa party before us, We have to say, then, that the lerter of remonstrance and admoui- tion with which the correspondence began was uot uncalled tor, ‘The churches throughout the United States, and the general public also, ielt a painiui anxiely on @ question imminent and urgent in this city of Brookiyn, and invoiving tie honor, not of the ‘Coneruntons! churches only but oi Christianity tel, Without any more explicit reference to that question it will suilice to Say thatin the Plymoutn | ehurch @& complaint #® member was brougnt against that he had circulated und | promoted scandals derogatory to the Christian in- Vegrity of tue pastor aud injurious to tue reputa- tion of the church.” The person complaimed of appeared in tue church mee.ng and declared that jour years be.ore that time he had, by vis own volition, terminated his connection “with tle church, and thereupon bis name was, by a vote ol the whole church, drvpped irom tue catalogue of iis members, ‘That action of the Piymouth church Was the occasion on which these two churcies m- emonstrance aud with a request for iriendly conterence, In this act they represented the interests of the Iraternity of Congregational churches, wuose prin- id whose lair Christian jane were endangered by the course which Plymouth chureh seemed to be pursuing. For ths moral heroism they deserve thanks, even should errors of judgment be traceable in some 0j the details of their procedure, in our consideration oi the ietier then addressed ymouta churea, we fud that the hupre: Sion made oy it was in some measure diferent irom What Was intended by its authors, Written under the pressure oi apprehensions and anxieties long suppressed, it seems to havedulringed more painiviy than Was intended on the sensibilities of those to Whout it was addressed, To many tae lettcr seems entirely unexception- abie iu matier and im manner, and entirely appr priate to the occasion, while to others it seeu unnecessariy Severe in the tone ot its condemn tiou of the proceedings complained of, In their second ietier the complainiag churches, paving jound What impressious they had maue by tier remonstrance, offered an explanation which we trust Was not uacceptabie. Concerning the repiy of the Plymouth church to that jetier we say notang ia than thar wu ins Kenious eXpiauation of tue reasons which had prompted tue Plymouth chuien to rid itsed of an oflending member by an exceptional metuod migit have vrought the correspondence to an early aud Lappy termination. Wecan see no saficient reason why the request of the complaiuing churches jor a fraternat co.te ence should not Lave been granted, in the subsequent correspoudeuce we see on the part of the complaining churcucs an expression of weir desire to unite with tae Plymouth churcn in | relerring the points of diflerence to the advice of a council, We find on tue part of Plymouth church no aefinite expression eituer of consent or of re- tusa Yet, inasmuch as Plymouth church did not dis- | tnctly reiuse to unite in a reference to a council, We cannot but regre: the complaining churches did not urge their request till a refusal or an evasion sivaid have become unequivocal. We are not mvited, nor do we take it upon our- selves Lo advise, the Plymouth church concerning its methous of dealing with offenders, but we are invited to advise these two cnurches on certain questions. fhereiore, we say distinctly that the idea of Membership in & Congregational church is the idea Of a covenant between the iftdividual mem- | ber and the church that by virtue of that covenant the memver Is responsible to the chureh for us comiormity to the Jaw Oo: Christ, and the church isrvespousible lor him, and taat this responsibility does not cease wll the church by some formal anu corporare act bas declared the dissolution ot the covenant, Tne covenant may be broken by the member. He may ofend, and, wuen duly ad- Mouisbed, May give LO sutisiactory evidence of | repentauce, in tiatcase he is is cut of from colmmuuion, Tne churei, having given its testi- mony, is no longer responsibie ior fim, and he can be restored omy by the removal of the censure. Voluntary au ce of a resident member irom the communion o! the epureh and [rou its pablic Wor- Ship does not dissolve the covenant, tut 18 a rea- souabe ground of admonition, and, if persisted in, Oi finai censure. When areguar complaint is made against such a@ member that i some other respects he violates the law of Christ, apd especialy when the com- plaint is that he has renlated and promoted sceaudals derogatory to the Christian integrity of the pastor ana injurious to the repucation of the church,” the consideration that he has long ago fo. saken the church is onjy au aggravation of his alieged fault, ln regard Lo the futare relations between these churches and the Plygouth chure we express our hopes that tue very extraordinary proceeding Wich gave occasion ior the correspoudence and jor this Council will not 1 precedeut jor the guidance Oi tat church hereaiter, Couid we sup. pose tual such proceedings wil be repeated we shonid ieel that the disrezard of the first principles invoived in the idea of church membersiup and tue dea of the iciowshiy of churches witu each other would require the Strougest possivie prot est. But the communication irom the Plymouth churen to this Council takes professions and dec- laravions which justly tie hope that such devia- tion trom the orderly cow be repeated. ‘the accused person in thar casi Tretaiued im the church, nor co: other church. We recite some of those declarations from the Plywouth church, which encourage the bope we have expressed :—""We rejoice,” says the Piymoutia feliowsuip with all cuurches oj the Lord Jesus, and espectally with Those who are im all things like-minded with us, holding to the same fain and order, not only in tuimgs jundamental, but in things less essential, yet dear to us by conviction or association,” “We cheer uily admit tuat, whenever any cuutch shall openiy and avowedly change the esseutial con- has not been ended to uby ditions upon which 1b Was publicly received into the jellowship of neighboring chai ches, or shail, by flagrant negi exert @ pernicivus and immoral ifuence upon’ the come munity Of upon sister churenes, 1t.8 their right, either by individual action or by Council, to with- draw their imendship.”” “We hoid that preceding this leliowship im ail such cases there should be stico affectionate and reasonavle inquiry as snall SlOW Liat the evil is real; that the causes of it are within (he control of the church; that the evil is NOt @ traustenvevil suct as may belal any church, but is permanent oud tending to increase ratuer than to diminish.’ Wake 11 1s uot to be forgotten that this commu- Nication .rom Piymourh charch is entirely subse- quent to the cage as it stood upon the convening Of tuis Council, When the Plymouth cuuren, by 18 action Of December 5, lad declared itself respon- sible for no other church, and no otner churen for it, in respect to doctrine, order and disetpline which action, a8 interpeted in the circumsiances then exisiiug, Unplied a witodrawal to tue ground Of total tadependency, yet what church ts to be iraterfaliy jndged by its latest utterance? These provessiona on the part of tue Piymonth church may be accepted by other churches as W- dicating it8 mtention to Wainiaim an efleient dis- cipline and to regard the mutual responsibility of churches, At the same Ume the Council teeis con- Siraimed to declare that these declarations seem to us inconsistent With the resolutions of interpre ta- tion adopted by the Piymonth church Decenver 5, 1875, and with other acts and statements appear- ing in the published documents, We think that the action of that church, as presented in these documenta, MH unimodiied, would justly these churcies in withdrawing their fellowsnip. Yet, inasmuch as the Plymouth church seems to us toad. Tit in its Communication to us the Congregational principles of discipline and leliowship, we advise the churches convening this Council vo matntain With it the relations Of \ellowship as heretofore, in the hope that Plymouth church may sausfy these churches of its acceptance ot the principles wiica it has been supposed to disavow. We also desire in this connection to reaffirm and empha size the doctrines laid down in ail our platiorms of the obligation of fellowship, This duty applies to all Opristian churches.

The pruspect of | the truit crop continues excellent. Statistics of the amount of old corn grown pre- vious to last year, on hand March 15, received irom tweuty- five counties tm Illinois, producing about thirty-three per cent of the entire crop, show 1,950,000 bushels; thirty-two counties in Lowa, pro- ducing about torty per cent of the whole crop, re- | port 1,510,000 busneis. Assuming that the counties hot reported hold proportionate amounts with those making returns, the aggregate of old corn | held in the interior March 15 would be—illinois, 4.85,000; lowi, 3,775,000 busuels.
