EB. H. Chapin, D, D. say:—“All churches ure progressing towards uni- versalism, in rejecting creeds and dogmas which have caused disumon, Au Episcopalian and a Rowan Catholic might unite in helping to extin- guish a fire; bat that ts as much woity a4 you may expect from them.” Mr. Beecher thiaks a unity is not required; he believes it exists only “in that infernal miracle of time—the Catholic Church.” His opinion on the eternal torments of hell is not very diferent from Dr. Chapin's. his church during one of his Suuday evening ser- mons. He gave outa hymn; we stood up and sang; it was signed “Wesley,” and promised the ever- jasting joys of heaven tothe just and hell Jor all | eternity to the wicked. When we had finished, he dissented from Wesley, calied bim an enthusiast, | and withashrug and a good-natured smile said “the hymn which you sing and { don't.” This showed liberty if not unity. He knew many of his hearers believed in what they had just been sing- ing; but that was no affair of his, And now let me quote irom a sermon by St. Augustine, and which 1 did not hear:—“A man may hear anything outside the Cathollc Church except salvation; he may have honors, he tay have sacra- ments, he may sing alleiuiah, he may auswer amen, he may hold the Gospels, he may both have the faith and preach it, in the name of the Father The Woman’s Temperance Union will hold a kemperance meeting in Allen street Methodist Episcopal church this evening.

But, ins'ead o1 seeking the latitude and longitude of the star Sirias, we | propose to tind ifs origin. Did i: evolve trom the milky way, or was it created at the same time as the otuer heavenly bodies? Is a tree to the seed from which it grew as the solar system 18 to the | “created something” from which {t evo!ved? What | are the unheard-oi propersies of that “creaed something’ from whtch the giant workmen At- | traction and Kepnision could fashion tue solar sys- tem’ Let us introdace a host o! piiiosoplers and seek for unity among tuem—Descartes, Lume, Kant, Locke, Rousseau. Let us open une Bibie and seek for unity among theologians. H we fade unity and catholictty similar to the unity and caiholicity of the Catholic Churea among philoso- phers, astronomers or theolozians on the qu tions which cannot be demonstrated and are above the grasp of human reason, we must not wonder at the unity aud carholcity of the Catholic Chur atleast utong the great thiukers of that Camecn. We find no such unity. The lignt of reason. or, which is tue same thing, & Mon-Cathohe taith, have mever caused a unity and catholicity which are pecuilur to the Catholic Cnurca. Ic 18 reasonable, Wen, to infer thet the Power which gives and pre- serves tails unity and catholicity is Divine, or which is the Same thing, tue Catho.uc Churea is a Divine institution. Where do we find anything similar to it? We must not ivok among the stitutions of man. The | cause of unity and catholicity in the Catholic Church and in the solar sssiem is the same—tie will of the Creator of the universe and of the founder of the Catholic Church, uere are, as 1 have shown, men who deny the peculiar marks of the Catuolic Church; so we find “great thinkers’? Who cannot see that these marks are also pecuiiar tothe solar system, a work by the same Divine Architect. An atom ialis to the earth, the stars | recede from us, the earth and sun approack, and ) the “great thiakers” ouly see the giant workmen, Attraction aud Repuision; so they write down the inal end of man and tnat ot the heavenly bodies. They cannot see that God ts the first cause; that attraction and repulsion are bis | agents; that tae will of God cag cuntrol any agent, The system lasts tll He wilis it otherwise. We learn from Mr. Proctor that his map, giving the exact position of certain stars, would | be true for 356,000 years tence, What does this show among stars traveling different direc- tions and with different velocities? Astronomy and Catholic theology teach the same lesson. Newton Was 00 theviogtan, but he recognized the Creator, tne creation and his own position, and with becoming kamility aad truck said:—“f am as a child gathering a few of tue sells scattered on | the shore.” Let us ask ourselves why we protest against that of woich we know nothing, Let us learn e s Catholic doctrine, not from the enemies ot the Street Methodist Episcopal church, between First | Catholic Church, but trom herseif. “Seek and you and Second avenues, and the Rey, F, Bottome in siail fad.” We shali get suieient ligut to lead mas | to her doors but suowd we remain at her door we | are unworthy of “the tight of faith im the Catholic Courch’—that supernatural light wineh is un. know. outside her foi, and which is obtained | througp the receiving of her sacraments, [have heard many anti-Catholic sermons and read many AN -Cathohe pooas, have a& knowicdge oF both and can saiely siy Catholic doctrine can be 8, Jt 18 a duty to learn She is one, she 13 catholic, she is divine. ABELARD. Fast of Ab—Jerusalem’s Destruc- tion. The Jewish people are perhaps the only excep- tion in the family of man who commemorate de- feat as well as victory. Once ayear, about this time, they commemorate the destruction of their temple and holy city, and on Wednesday evening and Thursday of this week this event will be duly remembered by taitofal Israelites by fasting and prayer in their respective synagogues, Time was when the fast was observed with the utmost strictness; but as it takes place in the heat of summer the rigors of the fast are soitened down by some, while others, satisfied with their present condition, think it useless to fast om account of anevent that took place eighteen centaries ago. ‘There are yet thousands in Israel, however, whe, observe the day, and these, although many centu- ries have elapsed since Isracl has been shorn of its glory, are not disheartened, but are convinced that the predicted period ef coméort and giory will a3 certainly come as the time of tronbie and amic- tion has been Literally fulfllied, Hence they ook for the evening.
