The Sentiment of Childlike Obedience to God—Sermon by Protessor Cone, of St. Lawrence University. Professor Cone, of St. Lawrence University, preached yesterday morning at the Chureh of Our Bavioar (Universalist), Filty-seventh street, near Fighth avenue, to a congregation greatiy thinned by the summer solstice. Ne took his text trom St. Luke, xvii, 17—«Verily I say unto you, whoso- ever shall not receive the kingdom of God as & little child shall in no wise enter there!n.’ In the beautiful previston of Jesus, he sald, These words, in the Presence of little children, were the utterance of His tnmost soul. But they had still deeper sig- nificance. ‘They characterized the relations which must ever subsist between Rim and man. A kingdom of no mean pretensions had been | founded by Him, a kingdom which had for its main | object the revelation of the principles ef ight and salvation, The chief motto of this | realm was, “Salvation comes irom with- in.” The Christian religion appealed to all the original feelings which were in their hearte from their very childhood, Looking out upon the dead waste of water one feit tempted to say that these bare trees could never bloom again. But the | sun kindled all the slumbering forces of nature. it was thos with the Christian religion, which roused ali the happy and troitiul qualities of human | nature irom their deepest slumber, THE PERPETUAL ELEMENTS OF CHILDHOOD, the sweet, confident love, reverence, trust, were | never outlived by men. This element of childhood was a fountain which welled up forever, Like a bubbling spring the current of their lives was ever strengthened by the retigtous instinct, One of the sweetest qualities of Christian childhood was the teeling of dependence, It was not too much to say that on this the very sentiment of religion depended. A true religious lite and a correct life were two very different things. A man might be honest and blameless in every act of his life and yet have not a spark of true religion, Le would simply be @ moral man, This was anim. poriant distinction. When alan lived with the spirit of love and rapture Inthe presence of the Supreme Being he became traly religious. When he came betore his Maker as a child askiog for his approbaiion he attained the truce citizenship of tne Kingdom of God. It was not cnough to act there was no more touching record nen tnat of | “#9 be BO summer vacation. the mothers of Israel, who crowded round tbe | | Saviour to ask His blessing. | Diessed Virgin Mavy, the mioiher of God, you will | from a Sense of duty, but man must aiso act irom | & senvc of devout love for bis Maker. ‘This was cajled faith, There might not be much rin this simpic trust. Let them sec, how- ever, let them look back late the past, and did this gimple trust m God not work as great conquests as the sword of the warrior FAITH CLEAVING TO GOD is good and evil, This was the spirit of which the great reformers of the world were born. A spiritual seer, thus trusting in God's power and love, exerted more real influence over the destt- nies of mankind than the scientific investigator of greatest renown, Professor Huxley had catd that men in the fuiure would reject ali facts wiuch they could not grasp with their intellects. but Professor Hurley jorgot to take into account this childlike sentiment of faith and trust which was engrafted in every heart. nother element of their childlike sentiment which Christ would like them to develop was the sentiment of duty, of obedience. Uncalculating by virtue of the child’s own weakness, this was the true spirit of submission. E when they becime strong men they retained still the consciousness of a raghes poet and the feeling that they simply must follow the stern dictates of their conscience without regard to worldly con- ditions of apy kind. Doing a certain thing because he knew that he would be the better for 1t was not obedience ; ‘but to do it from a pure intuition, irom the best promptings of consci¢nce, this was the true submission, ‘They might ask themselves if by this the giory of manhood was lessened’ No, the greatest strength which had ever been witnessed in this world Was always an emblem of submission, Christ in His kiagly diguity stood sublime, and yet He was most childlike in His spirit o1 depeudence upon God, Goditke submission, most manly and most submissive, THIS WAY THE TRUE PICTURE OF CHRIST, There were two irames of mind in which earthly tilais were generally met. There was the phijoso- phic mind, which attempted to solve the tnsoluble Inystery of life, and which ovly gained in conse- quence dark despair aud destruction. Noe, the only in which earthly sorrow and ca- jamity could be faith in Christ.

A struggiing ior in thie jilfe waa success, and ail tue success Was only obtained when they brought 10 their endeavors these sentiments of love, faith aud obedience to God.

The Jargest congregation tnat has gathered at any Sabbath service in Lefferts Park this year | | Was there yesterday aiternoon to listen toa dis- course by the Rey. Liewellan Bevan, of London, who is now supplying Dr. Scudder’s pulpit duriag the summer vacation, Ail the Welshmen in the city probably were present, A great many minis- ters were inciuded also in the congregation. Mr, Bevan’s discourse was based on the healing of the leper by Jesus, as recorded in Mark, |., 40, 41, He pictured the terrible disease of leprosy 1 the fiesh, how small and insignificant in its beginnings; but its growth is rapid and its spread terrible. It con- taminates everything it touches. The beginnings of sin are small. The first glass of wine or beer the young man takes is not much in itself, bat it leads to the second and the third, ana creates an appetite that may be quenched only in tie grave. ‘rhe profane swearer begins with small words, vi- cious insinuations: but he grows bolder in the use of oaths and foul languages, until he shocks every sensitive soul bY his protanity. It was only an appie, you say, that our first parents ate, but ‘that smail beginning fas been the fruitiui parent of all the sin and misery that has come upon our world since, It was a little falsehood that led to murder jore, of the beginning of the leprosy 0! the soul, Leprosy separated the man from his fellows, Sin does the gaimne. But the young man says that is not 80. He is a member of a club or a society, and they | meet together and nave a good time. Granted. ‘there 1s honor among thieves, they say, but it is not true, You cannot bulid up a great social sys- tem upon wrong doing. WRONG DOING WILL ALWAYS SEPARATE MEN, J suppose, said Mr. Bevan, there is some sort of society in hell, but 1don’t care for that. It is, nevertheless, trne that #in separates men from their fellows. But the worst is the cud, Leprosy, fit be not cured, must end in death of the body; | sin if it be not forgiven in the death of the soul. | Make limseis. unclean. And who can teil what that is ¥ And what i you bury the soul as well as the body ¥ Oh sun, put on thy mourning habiliments! he exciaime: moon clothe thee with dark 2 & BOUL dead! 11 God’s own heart shou! reak It would not express the sorrow of the lost soul. and are there bo dead souls here to-tay? Unless the jeprosy of the boay is healed, it will destroy the body, and if sin be not removed it will destroy both soul and body | Mr. Bevan went on to picture the conaition of the leper separated from his fellows and living apart even from his wie and children. He should carry a rattle always with mm to notify the clean of cooung near.

Abutting on the west side of Thompson street, jest above Broonie, about twenty-five feet apart, | are the; guble ends of two long, low, dank and dingy rows of tenement houses, The yard that is enclosed between them extends backward about | 150 feet, and another row of houses at the rear encloses it and jorms an Irreguiar parallelogram. A dirty brown painted fence separates the court from the sidewalk, and two doors in this fenee tur- nish egress and ingress to the inmates of tie place. It is the fiitniest and most disreputavie yard In the city without any exception, and it is familiarly known im the neighboriood and at the police precincts as “Alrica.” Squaitd poverty, reeking filth and disgusting crimo characterize 1t. Its three or four hundred inhabitants are com- posed of the worst specimens of negroes and Italians. Every scrimp little box of an apartment is redolent of contamination and vermin, The mangy dogs that infest it are meaner specimens of their leisure time 1s entirely occupied in vigor- ously scratching themseives, and in rolling un- easily over and over in a soomlngly futile efort to quench the fleas an allay the itch that 1s irritating and exasperating then, The hens and roosters of “Africa” are the most lean and degraded fowls that ever disgraced feathers. The stinks of ‘Airica,” arising from 116 tivo sentry-box looking privies and its central and pervading gutter, are sickening and borribiy dls- usting.

Into vhis reeking yard, at five o'clock yesterday afternoon, half a dozen modest, plainly dressed ladies and three pale faced, overworked men entered. Two benches Were placed close to the steaming gutter and ironting the ricketty, wooden stoop of tne southera row of yellow tenement houses, ‘The genticmen mounted the stoop, the ladies occupied the benches below thom. A crowd of Baping children of every shade of color, from whitey- brown to greasy evony—barefooted and bare- Tags— gathered round. Half-dressed women and drauken men leered from the open windows of the court, Every window had its occupant, There were white women, beside hegvoes, and white children or nearly 80, beside colore| children; there were women ig slobbering inebriety, expozing tier- selves indecently; there were women disgustingly suggesting. jasclViousness, and there was one Yen- erable white fraud, with snowy hair, who was visiting @ negro welch in asecond story room, and who, evidently feeling ashamed of himself, | kept lor the most part prudently out of view. To | this audience of embodied crime and miscegena- | tion the nine members of the NEW YORK CITY 318310N addressed themselves.

With three exceptions neither man,.woman nor child exhibited any interest beyond vulgar curtos- ity in the prayers and addresses, The singing was dixmally duil; tc addresses se2med to fall short of the mark, possibly because in such a crime. Jor human elo- quence or human pathos to hit it, Surrounding the two Thompson street doors of the yard during the proceedings was a miscellaneous crowd of loafers of both sexes and of every type, There were a few timid, respecta! old men, but they | aid not enter fnrcner than the doorway, On the housetops opposite a dozen colored women were perched, fauotily dressed and immoral in look and action, Altogether the scene was one of extra- | ordinary siggestiveness to which language can do | but feeble justice, There was not a touch of humor in it. It was guastiy, gloomy and horribie beyond | description. Next Sunday afternoon the exer- cises Will be repeated. CHURCH OF THE SCANDAL.

Of the more ipr portant measures may be mentioned the Rogistry jaw, Which enaviea the applicant “to be mede” to accomplish lis object, without the disgusting requirements which the Jate jaw im- posed, The license law has been. amended and bo changed as to be almost wholly unlike that now ou the statute book, and a new charter has been granted the city of New Haven, by which the party in power are enabled to assume the management of municipal affairs—a position they haye not held during the past twenty years. The general rail road law remains unchanged, though animated endeavor to amend and eet aside its provisions has been made, Other important measures have re- ceived the attention,due them and, taken ali in ath the poopie are satisfied that their represeniatives have been faithfal and hi performed well the work they sent them to do, For more than two hundre: years New Maven hag been either the sole capital of the State or haw sbared that honor with her beautitul sister Hart ford. With the ciose of this session practically and with the year ending May 1, 1875 really, New Haven will cease to be a capital city in any sense, In view of this circumstance, thoagh it was but brietiy al luded to, THE CLOSING HOURS of this session were of more than ordizary inter. est. The Senate assembled at hali-past cight a, Aiter dis: business & resolu. posing of unimporiant tion Was offered extending the thanks of ne Senate to Lieutenant Governor George G, Sill for the able und courtcous manner in which be Lad presided over the deliberations of body. The Lieutenant Governor made a graceful and touching reply. Senator Hough then rose, and on bebalfof the Senate presented him with a beautiiul parlor cloch, which was aceopted in a pithy speech.

THE JOINT COMMITTEE, Lieutenant Governor Sill took the chair, aud ap- pointed a committee to wait on Governor solland inform him that the General Ass was about to adjourn, she commitice reported that the Governor had no communication to make, but that he would meet the Convention in person. Shortly after the Governor, accompanied by the Secretary of State and other dignitaries, appeared and were received with the ustial tormatities, Prayer was offered by Professor Northrop, atter which Governor Ingersojl addressed the Conven- tion, He congratuinted the members that they had at last closed their Jabors. This congratals tion was all the more pleasant since he was happy to believe that thetr legisiation had, in the matn, | been well considered and was likely to meet the approbation of the people. He referred the prosperous condition of the State, and it was owing to wise legisia- tion that the present flattering conditions haa been attained, He had no doubt as to the future of Connecticut if good men gave their endeavors m juiure, as they liad in the past, to the hest in- terests of the general good. The final adjourament of this Legisiature would close an epoch in the history of Connecticut, ending, as it did, a period of to | 200 years, auring which time New Haven liad been @ State capital. The venerable Sherif Scott then made the newal preclamation, and the Secretary of State declareg the General Assembly of 1874 adjournsd sine dia, “God save the Commonweaitt of Connecticut." ‘THE DYING BABIES, pee ae aE Four Hundred and Two Victiins Thfa Week—A Plea Stronger than Words for Funds for a Floating Hospital, Every passing day develops its additional cases of sickness, destitution and death by the score im the tenements and ceilars, The dreaded guest hag indeed come, and the plague now sits vis-a-vis ‘with poverty in many a chimney corner and occu- ples @ place at many @ homely table.

In the places where charity did not follow fast on the heels of disease ouly sorrow may now abide, And even in many rooms where evidences lie thick strewn that the voluntecr visitors of St. John's Gulla have found entrance and Jeft necessaries, comforts and delicacies for the sick, Death has stolen in and set his pale scal on lips and eyes, Every visitor feels that while his duty ties straight before him in the homes of poverty, contagion and death the hearts that snould beat .in generous response to his efforts and his struggles and the purses that have hitherto been opened to 80 abundantly aid him are no longer at his side.
