It is not through pro- ‘ession but through practice that the good can be reached, The Scripture sets forth the terms on | whien the Just will receive theirreward. ‘I was hungry and you gave me to eat; I was thirsty «&c.” Aud in another place, “Not every one who says to me, Lord, Lord, shail enter into the king- dom offeayen, but he that doth the will of my F¥athor who is in heaven shall enter into the king- dom of heaven.” Sr. Marraew's Cuurcu (EPIscopaL), Jersey City.—Rey, Dr, Abercrombie, rector, preached on tne necessity of sacrifice. Mary loved much, but sha loved more when she bathed the Saviour’s head in spixepard. We have foreign missions and homs miisstons. Have we reached the limit? Not by a millionth part. “I will not offer to God that which cost me nothing” is the utterance inspired from above. As thesnn draws water: from the distant lake and pours it down on our gardens, 80 God 1s drawing forth the acceptable sacrifices here and there and showering them on Hts children who are inneed allover the earth. There is no sacri- fice in going to church when the sky Is bright. ‘The Psalmist speaks of sacrifices that involve self- acnial—in a word, that we shall not offer to God that which cost us nothing. SERVICES AT LONG BRANCH. Lone Branca, July 12, 1874. ‘Thia Deautiful day, misty and mystic and dreamy, and 80 alluring to strolls on the bluff and cosey chats under the summer houses and surf-bathing, which comes just at charch hour, did not prevent a large audience at the churches. Crowded omni- buses and private carriages took hosts of fashion- able worshippers, whe, with six days given to pleasure, are willing to give & portion of the sacred seventh to reilgious observances, from the throngs filing the West End, Howland and other lead- ing hotels. There was the largest congregation, however, at St. James’ church, where a brief bat plainly practical discourse was @elivered by the new but popular rector, Rey. E. D. Tomkins. He took for his text Acts, ix., @—‘‘Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be {told thee what thou shalt do,” The great lesson underiying the text was, he began, GODS SPECIAL PROVIDENCE. God is greater than His laws. To each ofus He is always sending His special messengers. We are ail the subjects of His special providence. If men look upon God’s providential dealings with the mere eye of reason they will not find much in them. All His providences touch our special individual minds at the time certain events in our lives seem mere St. Prerer’s CHr past ten o'clock m blind chance. At length the meai shows itself. Happy is the soul that lives in t jorious belief of God's promise, that casts aside all thoughts of ebance, that velleves that we are continually in Bie Keeping. Another fod contamed in the text ts its openin the path of duty, All may seem m the dark. But when ro presents itself tt 13 onrs to do it anfinchingly and witn no thought of te result, There isa Damascns for everyone, a Damascus in the great pathway of our common life. Just as surely as we attempt to run contrary to God’s wishes He stands confronting us, and points out the line of duty. The first thing im all, the first thing im life, is to yield to Him. Only when the soul does this does it come in | acoord with God's great plan. The spontaneous ‘nought of every soul with right views of God and duty ia, “Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do 7’ For the duty right before you may seem insig- nifcant; your aspirations may rise above tt. Seize the present; discharge the duty of the hour; | let the futare take care of itself, Christ will lead you on, and point out new duties.. We should be THE WORLD'S MISSIONARIES. Let not self-will triumph. When we do go aside from the path of duty there is — pardon for ud. Do not shrink from to-day’s work. Stand not back from to-day’s duty, however irksome tt may seem, With our daily duty thus daily done we shall be received into His kingdom at last, and euch be told by the great Masrer, ‘Well done, good and faittful servaat; enter thou into the joy of the Lord.” CHURCH OF THE STRANGERS, A Sermou by Dr. Deems on Speaking Well of God. The charch bad a very large congregation. The pastor seemed in good health and spirits. In his opening prayer he mentioned very tenderly the members of the congregation who were in the country and some who were on the sea, As the sermon Closed there wae a heavy fall of rain, ana mearty all remained, while the pastor conducted a service of song, led by the children of the Haif- Orphan Asylam who attend this church. The text was, “Bless the Lord, 0 my soul:" (Psaim cil.) The phrase “bless the Lord’ means speak well of Jenovah. No one understands the expression when used of a fellow man. If the man be good or greats or has done any useful thing which deserves the praise of men we can under- stand why we should be called upon to speak weil of him. When men say to one another “Bless the Lora,” or call upon themselves, saying, “Bless the Lord, O my soul!” there 1s often a vague unmoaning- ness, Sometimes it degenerates into mere cant. But seriously, here is acali to a great duty. All men are called on fo speak well of Jehovah, Who ts Her Here the necessity of acknowieaging to ourselves the rea! personality of God was insisted on. Moa lose all the substance out of their re- ligton by their dreamy ideas of God. An imper- sonai God is nobody, He is nothing. There is no @uch thing except in fantastic thought. Any being conscious of individuality is a@ person. A person thinks and feels and does. The Great ‘Teacher (natructs as that ‘“4iod 18 spirit.” Then He i# sabstance—not matter, but substance, He occu- pies space. He is not vacnum. Perhaps you have been taught that he te without body or parts, But God never said that of Himsell. On the contrary, Ho speaks of His body and His parts, His hands, His ears, His eyes, These are notjmaterial, nor neither 49 your “spiritual body," of which Pau! speaks and whion is to be raived at the last day, that materia: poay whict your friends will bury when you die, ‘That spiritwal body has hands and eyes and ears. dt is that spiritual body in whicti your keener percoptions reside. We must train ourselves to Vhink of God as & person; a bemg conscious of in- aividuality; a being who thinks, remembors and feela; one WoO has Youu and has pain, He fella wa ali that. No matter how men oxplain it away, there ft is, When God Lp Hin pleasures and pains, some tell us that tHe t speak- ing ‘after the manner of men.’ No; when we speak of the pain we have at sin and the pleasure we have in self-denia! and herote goodness, tt {9 we who are speaking “after the manner of God." Jehovah has 45° me the rights of the universe, Men have no rights, They have only privileges, granted by that Jehovah who has all rights, The preacher said that we arc Always hearing much vi the rights of man; he wisnod eome one would | Neve as the Scripture tells us—that men are not | @ flash of lightning to liamine and overturn the the production of some rare and wonderiu thing, and all at once, when it has been neglected by a thousand beholders, thore comes one who has tne | intellect to perceive ail the good that isin it. How tho wise, intelugent, hearty praise cheors! When you yourself discover the good there is in man | or woman or child what pleasure itis to you to speak the evlogy! When we speak well of God both parties are rendered happier. But you cannot honestly and heartily apeak well of any one of whom you do not think well. It is | when our minds are full of admiring thoughts and our hearts full of lovjng sentiments towards any erson that we spontaneously speak well oi him. Ye should ‘keep beiore our minds the infinite lov- ingneas and loveiiness of God. The remainder of the sermon was occupied in show! the particulars, or, a8 the Doctor sad, “in gly ing you texts for your littie praise ser- mons.” Speak well of the character of Jehovah. To hear some Christians in their loose taik one might fancy | | that God was the great prototype of all the !ars, | thieves, robbers and tyrants mn the world, whereas | Ho is the giver of ail good _ There 15 no ex- cellence ny human ing—nothing to be praised in great men or lovely women or sweet childrea—which does not come from the Lord and | does not exist im infinite measure in Hi:n, Speak well of His general government.

In con- clusion, the a@vantages of discharging the duty o1 speaking well of God were shown to be manifold, ‘but the preacher mentioned only two. One was that it gave mem @ greater enjoyment of all the things, material, intelicctual and spiritual, by gratefully iting them with ; and the other Was; that we like that which we most admire and praise, and the men who most fre. quently, intelligentiy and Deartily ‘speak well of jod are the men who most rapidly grow inall moral beanty, eweesness and power, 8%. PBANOIS XAVIER, At St. Francia Xavier's Catholic church at balf- pest ten A. M. yesterday, after the celepration of | high masa, Rev. Father Whyte preached a brief disoour se from the seventh chapter of Mattnew. He said:—This portion of Scripture ia well worth stadyin g and its !esson well worth remembering. Just gt this time the worid is full of false prophets. | and the faithfal should be ever on their guard | against them. They come among men tn the garb | of saints, but their doctrines are fatal, They have honeyed phrases on their lips; they commiserate men’s ignorance, and in the name of liberty, as | they term it, try to free men from what they are pleased to call superstitions, and in the name of tolerance will cndeavor to impress mankind | with the erroneous belief that one religion | is as good and as safe as another, If | we listen to these false prophets we merely endanger our soul's salvation. If we | willingly expose ourselves to temptation God will withdraw His grace and le: us fall. Catholics be- | | saved by faith alone, but by good works as weil. ‘The gate of heaven js narrow andthe road dim. cult to travel. We shonid ali resist temptation and | avoid all false doctrines.

He Must be true to the Church, keep strictly God's | commandments. And whoever has not done these | things should repent while the Saviour calls and | that without delay. TOMPKINS AVENUE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCB. This handsome suburban church was well at- tended by its usual fashionable congregation yes- terday morning, prominent among whom was the q@enial face of Dr. Edwara Beecher. The opening @nthem was very finely rendered by the quartet cnotr, aiter whicn Rev. Dr. Clarke, pastor, admin- | istered tne service of infant baptism in a very im- | pressive and feeling manner. The Doctor selected for his toxt the eighteenth and nineteenth verses of the fourth chapter of pt.

The pastor, Dr, Wild, preached an eminently practical sermon from Ma:thew, xxvi., 41—“Watcb and pray that ye enter not into temptation; the spirit, inaeed, is willing, but the flesh is weak.’ “Arise, let us go hence!" said the Saviour, when He #ad partaken for tne last time of the Passover feast witn His disciples in the upper room at Joru- salem. Kre they had sung tue parting hymn one of this little company had departed on an errand of betrayal. The text contains a compound lesson of caution and a Compassionate apology for the 4 weakness of human nature, it is all-important that we bave a correct view of our duty and ability, for then only can we be juat to ourselves and others in practice and juagmont. For our esti- mate of humanity creates a corresponding demand and expectation in the line of duty and periorm- ance. Hence an overestimation will give rise to an overexpectation, which, if we iatl to meet,-brin condemnation. This error is plainly manifest in these day Certain churchmen, especially minis ters, interpret some doctrines in such a refined Sense that neither they themselves nor others can live up to them. By such overdrawn theories they impose an unjust tax upon both body and spirit, Natural failures are accounted heinous and wiltul, and men Who are doing nobly, considering their piace and ability, are berated, upbraided aud con- demned of men, though thoy are periect before God in Christ. Religion is bota negative and posi- tive, resistant and performing, and these differ very much in quantity and quality, even with brothers and sisters in the same household. Some boys are doing a wonderlui thing t! they sit atl tea minutes without speaking, Another wouldn't mind it a bit; he coula sit @ month and never make an unnecessary motion. The difference ix, the goodness of one will only be seenin what he keeps himself from doing, the other in what he does do. i Mr. Wesley's doctrine of periection is true to experience and Scripture. He asserts that a man 38 perfect in Intention aDd willingness, though he may errand sin, Count Zinzendort, the Moravian minister, believed in a periection that put a person beyond temptation.

Cone, Mayne it Was on account Of the variableneas of the weather that the services at the Church of Oar Saviour, in Fifty-seventh street, near Eighth avenue, yesterday morning were so alimly at- tended. The palpit was filled by Professor 0, Cone, who chose for his subject, ‘The Duty and Beauty of Holiness. The text upon whioh this | Sermon was based he announced as Psalms, xcvi., 9—O worship the Lord in the beauty of holinesa,’’ 1 desire, the youthful Professor began, to lead your thoughts into a very pleasant path. The duty of holiness is preached from many puipits. Some people get a distaste for a life, because it is presented to them asa duty, To some people any duty 1s irksome; it 1s like work- ing in a harness. Coleridge said, ‘Moral obliga- tion is such a stimulant that it acts aa a narcotic.” Such must be led by their inclinations and not by their consciences. A life of holiness accords with @i that is nigh in our nature. If @ man ta con- scientious and has a contempt for reason, he should apprehend holiness as a duty, A man of reason snould think A MOLY LIFE 48 the most reasonabie one; but a man with ioity ideas and purity of heart should think it the life of affection, The sense of peanty as well as duty Isa path to holiness. Holiness is the most beautiful thing in the worid. Many a man who loves the beauty of the world around him does not know If the scales ‘were romoved from the eyes of men the repellant aspect would wear off. If a hardened man can be touched by anything beantifu: ne can be touched oy holiness.

He said that the gospel just read reminded us that Christ had warned us from the beginning of the danger of false teacners, of prophets who shall come in His name, put “who, inwardly, are ravenous wolves.’ They will preach, pretending to be His missionaries, and to be actuated in promoting the well being of His fold, They shail wear the garb of the shepherd, but inwardly they seek but to devour the sheep. We cannot be deceived, who are of flis Church, for He has foretold that such men shall appear to devour and destroy His flocks, Then beware of those who are wolves in the clothing of sheep, beware of those hirelings who would enter the told but to destroy. He telia usa by their fruits you shall Know them, If thoy bear not the fruit of charity, humility and the otner Christian virtues, then they are not His shepherds, Inevery ago ol the Church false prophets have arisen who have sought to guide tue flook to perdition. The heresies and schisms which they iulminated to mislead the unwary from the true fold ha’ faded away, and the Church is glorious and mighty to-day, asshe will be unto the end of time, ren ond the dark clouds of persecution and the vain deception of false teachers. There is an- other portion Of the gospel of the day which appeals to sil Christians and Catholics most iorcibly. Christ tells us ‘Every tree that yieldeth not good fruit shall be cut down, and shail be cast into the fre.’ We are planted here trees by the doc- trines of the Church, and hedged round about by the sacraments and the life giving graces thereof, Cnrisé expects, therefure, that we shall bring forth good truit in abundance, according to the measure of grace which we have oach received and to the promotion of the end and means tor which we were placed in the vineyard, lt we refuse to bring forth this good ‘frait we will be cut down and cast into the fre, That is te say—if we are found without good works, without ganctiying grace when we are called upon to ed an account of our stewardsbip wo wul be jadgea accordingly. How meiancholy it ts, then, said the reverend speaker, wnen we look about as and see 66 many who believe ao ortho- doxily all the Church teaches and prorexses, but who in practice are & scandal to the faith! Such people live the lives of infidels, and in many re- spects of practice are worse: than pagans. th wif not save us; only insomuch as we live in ac- cordance with it can We expect to be saved. “Not every man that saith, Lord! Lord! shall enter into tne Kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father, who is to heaven, he shail enter into the kingaom of heaven." As the body is dead without tho soul, 80 faith without good works is aiso dead. There- lore itis use.ess for us to say we believe all the Church teaches unless we live in accordance with that profession. We mast love God above all things and our neighbor as ourself. Lukewarm and negligent Cathojics do more harm than the enemies of the Church. Her own members and children cause, alas, how often, His name to be blasphemed by those who are not of our faith. They are regardless of the fruit tent should bea! jt 58 at holt- and give scandal to the unbelievers, who | say, “This Church cannot be s0_ holy; | else why are these men so reokleas in | their ways?’ Ah, friends, if we fulfilled the examples set us by the early Christians we would make many converts tn this world. Then let us, by the earnest fulfilment of the teachings and requirements of our holy Church, show forth that we not only believe, but that we practise what we believe. Let ua exhibit the iruits of a Christian life as we are brought to a knowledge of virtue and trath, Do as much for virtue in the future asin the past you may have done tor sin, and by love for Gud and charity to your neighbor you may hope to lead many to the true fold and open their way to eternal happiness. 8T, JOHN'S METHODIST CHURCH. The Prayer of Moses on Mount Sinai— | Revelation of the Goodness of God— Sermon by Rev. Dr. Warren. The puipit of St. John’s Methodist Kpiscopal church, on Bedford avenue, Brooklyn, was occu- | pied yesterday by the pastor. Rey, Henry W. War- | ren, D. )., whose vacation will not occur till next month, Although a great many members of the congregation are out Of town with their iamilics, the attendance in the morning was quite large. Dr, Warren's theme was the prayer of Moses, re- corded in the eighteenth verse of the thirty-third chapter of Exodus—“I beseech thee, show me thy glory." In his introductory remarks the speaker sald that this request was preferred by a ‘man who had heard (he voice of God in tne burn ing bush, who had seen and done the wonders ta the Jand of Egypt, who had led forth Israel like a flook and between the orystal walls of the uplifted sea nad gone on dry land; who nad seen tue bitter ‘water of the desert sweetener! by God's hand, and who had partaken ot angel's iood, Was there any other suvsequent revelation that had yet to be made tonim? Moses made this request because he was in trouble, and men always paved when they were io those circumstances. ie verlest Hottentot | turned eagerly to his fetich, to any dumb ido! his hand had maue, ior deliverance from trouble. One | of the latest stones exhumed from the sands of ages Of an ac- count of a prayer that the king made when he w: deserted by o19 friends and surrounded by his enemies. It would ve rememvered that previous to the battle of Antietam Lincoin promised God that if he would drive the reveis back into their own territory he would strike off every fetter, So Moses bad led up the children o! Israel out of | ‘pt through the Red Sea, and at the time of the offering Of the prayer of the text there wasa widespread rebellion and # renunciation of God and of His servant Moses. When tho Saviour of the world drew near His hour ot Bae He cried ou! “Father, glorify thou me with the glory that I had with thee belore the world was;"’ and at this junc- ture 01 Moses’ history he turned anto the Lord tor assurances of grace. God had been accustomed to answer the prayers of Moses, and immedtately he replied, “i will make all my goodness pasa be- fore thee.”’ ‘This was not a turning away irom the | term Moses used, but rather an explanation o/ it, for in the mind of nis goodness was the greatest Rory that he could reveal. Moses waa | i the meanwhile to hew atones. for new tabies, and in the morning io ascend Mount | Sinal, Where & new revelation of tue essence of Goa would be revealed.

Dr. Warren expiated eclo- quently upon the glory of Uhrist’s forgivences and salvation, and tp conclusion said t not now, as in the oiden time, must men go up to Jerusalem to worship. The path of Sinai could be trodden to- day by every foot that cared to toll up tts ascent, and displays of God’s graco tufinitely beyon human thought would be made to hearts that were Willing to pray and to appropriate to them- selves the blessings which were so freely offered in the Gospel, and whica, when received, would make their faces shine and assure the unvelievi and rebellious world that, like Moses, they li Been the Lord and talked with Him. ALL SOULS’ EPISCOPAL CHURCH, Sermon by Dr. Porteous in the Hall of the Young Men's Christian Associa- tion. At the usual time tho Rev. Dr, Porteous deliv- ered an eloquent sermon to a very large congrega tion to the Young Men's Christian Association Mali yesterday. He took for hia toxt the 11st verse of the 119th Psalm:—“Thou art near, 0 Lord.” He briedy compared the past and present cen- turies of the world since the Christian era, and contrasted the gifts we enjoy and receive from God, which wero denied to our predecessors, showing the truth of the text which he com- menoed with. The various aclences, sald he, prove this to us, and the testimony of our own conscious- ness, which {3 an overmatch for the sotences, proves it beyond any doubt. Frosh discovertes in the aciences and penetration into the depths of Philosophy demonstrate it to us—emonstrate 10 plain and genera! terms that God was never more to us than in the present time—never more near the human soul than He 1s in this nineteenth cen- tury, Though dweiling indnitely far away beyond the universe, in light aud glory. indecesstole, He is yet near to us that He may minister to all our wants and comfort us in ail our trials, when they occur to us by His own permission. The whole Christian world’ tolls us of His nearness to us. He ts near aa @ kind friend, ready to take our hand ana uphold us in danger; near to us in our thoughts and actions and whatever we do, There were centuries in which he was, or seemed to be, distant from those who came belore us and are now gone; in days when the people dia not care for His law and followed withoat bounds the tendenoies of their evil natures. Such was the case especially in the days of Voltaire and Oiseau, When infidelity awept over the land and instilled its poison into every one. But now tne heresies are thrown away through the influence of the men that departed. Being near us, wecan obtain everything tor our spiritual good. He will be our strength and reinze in all danger, and when Weighed down with grief we can tura to fim, who is our only hope and strength and our kind protector; who wuuld rather have the universe Go into confusion, yea, go to perdition, than leave one human soul to be lost. He watches over the files and other imsects, how much more are we than the sparrows! But it ls chiefly tor a future state we want tho assistance of God while he is near for to be with Him in the hereafter, There must pe a here- after when there is a here, just as when thore is -@ to-morrow there must be a to-day, and the here, or present time, ta given us to preparo for that hereaiter, and this ig & great thought, and wno- ever meditates upon it igin a healthy condition, But where the mistake 1s, your sou:s are too full of the present and of all things pertaining to this transitory life to think ofthe future, You ought continually to think of to-morrow. God ia always hear us, and near all, without exception ; near the risoner in nis cell as well a9 with the wealthiest eing inthe world, and as He is we ought to be gengibie of His presence. If you feel that you do not love Him 1¢ is not because He has Jalled in His love to you; 1 18 because you do not pray for His love. Ifyou only think oi the marvels of His kind providenco, His goodness and love ior us will 1n- duce you to do 80; and tf you do you will have no diMiculty in coming to the conclusion of the truth Ol the toxt, and will be consoled in your trouble by the words, “Tnou art near to us, O Lord(’! CHURCH AND STATE IN GERMANY. The Catholic Congress in Mayence— Resolutions —Speeches=— The German Press, Frankrorr, June 26, 1874, The Rhine has recently been the scene of two important Congresses—of the Olid Cathottos, held at Bonn; of the Union of German Catholics, just coucinded at Mayenoe, the “Golden,” The latter assembly is the most significant Uatholic meeting held for some time in Germany, andthe speoches there made and the resolutions adopted have created no little stir in the German omcial, liberal aud Protestant press. Tolegrams were received from all parts of Germany, or despasones of rev- erence and loyalty sent to Rome, There were public and private assembiles of the members, banquets, general communion in the Cathedral and divine service at all hours, and the conoiusion was a pligrimage of guests and members, led by Bishop Ketteler, to St. Rochus chapel, near Bingen, Agreat number of prominent Catholics were there, among them Moufang, the deputy to the Reichstag, {rom Mayence. Majanke, of the Germania, and Deputy Windhorst did not put in an appearance. THE MAYENCE ASSEMBLY, It was a jubilant assembly; tue speakers were toa man full of hope for the cause of Catholicism, and hard side blows were dea:t now and then at the directors of the new German Empire. The most remarkable fact connected with the Assem- bly is that the speakers were not stopped in their | utterances by the police. It is customary in Ger- many for two policemen to attend each assembly, Without these “guardian spirits’ the speakers might say something olfensive to Kaiser and Em- pire. In Mayence—which the lItborals persist in calling ‘‘Mayence tne Dark," because of its Catho- hic tendencies—tho Union of German Catholics had matters pretty much allthelr own way, for they had evidently bribed the Commissioner of Police to send, in order to attend the meeting, two of his biggest blockheads, one of whom could not write, and the other certamly could not grasp the nature Of @ philosophically worded hostile thrast, The Prussian government bas already taken the May- ence police authorities to task for permitting such speeches as were held at the Assembly to be made. THE RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY THR ASSEMBLY embody paragraphs on the condition of the work- ing men of Germany and on the present state of society and the Church, The Assembly believes that Germany, like all European States, ts se- tiously threatened by the discontent existing among its laboring populations, The principal causes of this discontent are the decay of the petty branches of industrial life, the neglect of ag- ricuiture, the oppressive conditions made by man- ufacturers Hud tne extravagant development of speculation, The nearer and inner reason for this discontent Js lound by the Assembly to be in the weakening of Christian conviction and morals in the higher and lower classes by modern rational- ism and liberalism, whereby it has been possible that a great portion of the working class would be led astray by the irreligious and revolutionary leaders, The means for curing this social disease and to bring about @ reconciliation of the various classes of society, are:—Legal protoction against the plundering of the people by corporate and nnanctal bodies; the promulgation of }aws provid- ing for the welfare of the working classes; the care- ful promotion of moral and religious iife in the family of the workman, especially in keoping sacred the Sabbath day ; in a reduction of the noura of work by women and children, and tn the freo spreading of Christian charity, The resolutions referring to the STATE AND CHURCH are ofa more determined character, and have created considerable discussion, They are as followsi—1, The Catholic Cuurch is by divine ordinance an independent organization, which, Church of Jesus Christ, bas the right im all jJands publicly to exist, 8nd which every Christian State has the duty to protect. 2 The politico-ecolestastical sya- | tem which the political parties are endeavoring to carry through is in irreconcilable and direct con- tradiction with the constitution of the Catholic Church, established by God, sanctified by centu- Ties, acknowledged by the States and guaranteed by tue law of: nations, The ecclesias- tical, priestly and pastoral charge confided by Jesus Christ to the Pope ana tho Bishop cannot be abolished or restricted by avy law of the State. 4 Gharch and Btate are appointed by God to harmoniously work together, A separation of tho two powers is to be lamented, If the hostility with which the mou- ern State treats the Church rondors this separa- tion @ necessity the reanls will bo more to the in- Jury of the State than of the Churoh, Two regoin- tions are of an eapecially radical character. One on “the general condition of Curistian soctety” bay “Modern civilization 13 incompatible with tho Ohuroh. A consoquence of the warfare against the Ouurob is the dissolution of agctal and volitical | | throughout the cotton States, order, femedy therefor can ony be exnected when political independence and ali traditional rights are again accorded te the Papai see.” Other resolutions are directed against the consti- tution of the German Empire, the ,ational party, the Jesuit laws, militarism, the guid. ice of public instruction by the State, the liberal press and the foreign policy of the German Empire, especialy as towards the Vatican, BISHOP KETTELER, The speeches made in support of tuese resolu- tions are full of enthusiasm on the one hand and abuse of modern institutions on the other. One speaker, referring to Bismarok, said:—"'The man Who 18 sailing unconcernedly on in the ship of folly Of che times is, poraaps, hardly abie to grasp the hem, But he will be brought toa stop onthe rock of the Church, and will cry out to the one who Steers the ship with asate hand, ‘Help! ‘Throw me the tow of salvation!’ The Bishop of Mayence ut- tered noteworthy words to the assembly at St. Rochus chapel. He complimented the assembly about him by saying tt was a picture of the apirtt of Catholicism—one heart and one soul. He spoke pleasantly about the Rhine, how it was a “German anda Catholic river,’ in whose flood so many glorious Catholic cathedrais were reflected, and how along its shores, from beginning to end, pro- tost had been made by i's people against the ab- aurd accusations that the Catholic Caureh is hos- tile to the German Empire, The German liberal newspapers are of course violently abusive of the resolutions adoptea by the Assembly, The National Zettuny says tho Catholic Union troubles itself too much avout the welfare of Germany; but the German people pre- fer to be governed by its chosen representatives rather tuan by the clergy. The semi-oitictal Nora. deutscher Allgemeine Zeltung thinks that the Mayence resolutions are but a further proof that Rome 1s more dotermined than ever to carry on the conflict with Germany whereby tho governments, and especially the Prussian, will find themselves compelled to make use of all legal meana against + the hostile party for preserving the dignity and in- dependence of the State. The Franklort Zeitung condemns the resolutions ag unworthy the braing of intellectual men preferring “modern civiliza- tion” with au its evils to the reactionary charao- ter of clerical rulersutp, The Catholic journals, howover, speak iu @ very different tone, and in the resolutions of the Congress and the twonty- eighth anniversary of the Holy Father's rule, flnd ample toxts for exaltation. This latter event has been celebrated tn all the large cities with con. siderable fervor and demonstration, In Mayonce the assembly of Vatholica gathered to a banquet im one of the hotels, when the American addross ta His Holiness, taken by the pilgrims to Romo, was exhibited. In Munich a monster procession went on the same day to the chapei at Berg-on-the= Laim. The German Catholic bishops assemble to- day at Fulda, and a new pastoral letter may soon bo expected. Rumor says that tho bishops intend to pave the way fora reconciliation between the clerical and temporal powers. I cannot say what truth is inthis assumption. But if any giving in ia to be expected it must be from the side of the Church. The Stato is particularly exasperated by the Mayence assembly, All the active memborg of the Mayence Committeo have been summoned to appear before the Court at Aachen to answer charges of producing excitement against the powors that be. A JUDICIAL HALLUCINATION. Judge A. H. Giddings, of Michigan, Throws Himself Off a Chicago Bridge Under the Impression that He is Elud- ing a Gang of Lynchers. {From the Uhioago Times, July 9.

Giddings, well known throughout the State of Michigan a3 a man of marked abilicy and an able lawyer, attempted to commit suicide in this city, yesterday afternoon, by jumping inte the river off Clark street bridge, At about half past one o'clock the crowd of pedestrians cony stantly crossing this stracture was considerably excited and surprised to see a well-dressed and gentlemanly looking man, who had been leaning over the railing at the south end of the-atructure, musingly looking into the dark and targid watera below, clamber over the barrier and throw himse! into the stream.
