What Did Nicodemus Want by Inter- viewing the Saviour? To THE EpiToR oF THE HERALD:— ‘The Kingdom of Heaven is not meat and drink — Bom., xiv., 17. An interesting narrative is contained in the third chapter of St. John’s Gospel, from which some valuable injormation may be derived, cor- recting some phases of popular conclusion, viz. :— “There was@ man named Nicodemus, a ruier of the Jews. The same camo to Jesus by night and saith unto btm, Rabbi, we know that Thou art a | teacher come from God; for no man can do tho miracles that Thou doest except God be with him.” Now evidently this ruler of the Jews—of the strictest sect, a Pharisee—must have had an earnest object of inquiry to propound to this man Of Galilee, a people held in the lowest esti- mation by the Jews, so that holding intercourse with them was deemed derogatory to the high | ecclesiastical characteristics of the Jew; similar %o the case of the Samaritan woman at the weil, where it 1s recorded in Jobn, iv., 9. “For the Jews Bave no dealings with the Samaritans; and yet, to our unaided vision, it does not appear what ‘this inquirer sought to obtain by his interview. He states his great confluence in the teacher to ‘whom he came. He had no doubt but that the Moet High was “with him ;” and still bis inquiry {if so it may be called) is entirely obscure. The great Teacher to whom he came, however, at once @ivined the object of the call; He instinctively Knew the needs of this inquirer, and therefore at once, discerning the question which Nicodemus ‘would have propounded, gave him this memorable | reply, viz, :—“Jesus answered and said unto him @ © © excepta man be born again he cannct see the Kingdom of God; except a man be born of water and of the Spirit he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God.” Evidently, therefore, Nicodemus desired to learn how he sould be en- abled to vee (and fully perceive) and be able also to enter into the Kingdom of God. Leaving out, for the present, the course to be pursued to obtain these great objects, it is very important that we should clearly understand the precise object | which this inquirer desired to see and euter into. | In tue frst place it was not an abode in heaven, 4p apotber aud iuture state of existence, as the popular theory is, and from which theory (as long ma it may be entertained) the grosseat errors of | coustruction will be given to very many portions of Scripture. The object sougut by Nicodemus was an eartniy. yon, This is evidenced by the | Saviour’s own words in the twelfth verse in the @ame chapter, where He says, ‘i have told you of earthly things.” And we will attempt hereaiter | ‘to show by the acts and doings of Nicodemus that | he was subsequently, by the means pointed out vy | @ Saviour, enabled to see and enter into that desired haven, The words Kingdom of God or Kingdom of Heaven (which are synonymous) are 80 olven thoughtlessly entertained, 80 little cousi- eration is weneraily given to an analyzation of their meaning, preachers to the people taking it for granted that they (the words) mean to express the idea of an abode in heaven, & iuture state of existence, that it will be profitable to quote some Of the various passages in Scripture where they ‘Occur, 80 that We may be able by their connection ‘More clearly to.ascertain what Nicodemus sought. ¥or want of space we confine ourselves to those in Matthew.

To note more strikingly that by these phrases the | Master referred to the Gospel dispensation that He was then dispiaying before the world, let us refer to one of the preceding quotations—viz.: Mutt., XX. | 43, “Theretore I say unto you the Kingdom of God shail be taken irom you, and given to a nation bringing forth the truits thereoi.”” The Jewish | pation, of whom the Pharisees and chief rulers | were the representatives, had conducted | themselves in & manner similar to the laborers (described im the parable nar- | rated in the verses just preceding the verse | quoted). They had long enjoyed high privileges. From time to ume God bad sent messengers to them, requiring them to render those acts of homage and obedience which they owed to him, Those Messengers they had abused and some of | them they had slain. God had now sent His Son, and Him they were desirous to slay. The cup of thelr iniquity Was nearly full and Judgment at | hand. The Kingdom of God was to be taken from | them and given to others who should produce fruit. ‘This is the application of that para- ble, and such the great trath which it was designed to illustrate. If any doubt can now possibly re- main in the minds of the reader that the true definition of the phrases Kingdom of Heaven aud | Kingdom of God is the “Gospel reign or dispensa- it is the object of this article to elucidate), we may quote tue commentary or eiucidation of the Saviour Himself—which of course cannot be di puted—to the chief priests and elders of the peo- Lads (Matt., XXL, 31.) “Jesus saith unto the erly, Lsay unto you that the pubiicans and har- lots go into the Kingdom of God before you.” Commentary—‘For John came unto you in the Way of mehteousness and ye believed him not; but the publicaos and harlots beiieved him,” | showing that a belief in the Gospel ts perceiving, | and that taking its precepts tu heart is entering into the Kingdom of Ged, And #iso, Mark, x., 23— “And Jesus * * saith unto his disciples, how | hardly shall they that have riches enter into the Kingdom of God;” “and tue disciples were as-on- ished at his words." Commeatary—“But Jesus anmswereth again and saith unto them, Children, how hard 1s it lor them who trust in riches to enter into the Kingdom of God,” clearly explaining that whea trust and rell- ance were placed per se in riches the principies of the Gospel for the attainment of perce, joy, nappi- ness won'd hardly be carried out, Nuitberiess other commentaries of the Saviour might be quoted if we had space. Now that Nicodemus did realize some of these blessings from a cnange of heart—a !aying down of the Pharisee for the humility and kindness of the Christian—we are only enabled to produce two “signs,” and, irom what they evince, itis to ve regretied that we have not more extended bio- graphical notices of him, He adhered to the Saviour to the last. When Jesus was brought be- fore the Oilicers and chief priests ind Pharisees, “Nicodemus saith unto them (he that came to Jesus by night being one of them), Doth onr law {usge Pore belore 1t hear him and know what e dogt And at the burial we read, “And then came also Nicodemus (which at the first came to Jesus by night), and brought @ mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds weignt, Then they took the dody of Jesas and wound it in itneu clothes, with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury,” showing bia Onristien kindness of heart in defending him against unjust accusations, and kindly periorming the last sad offices to his teacher and {riend. WM, COVENTRY H. WADDELL, WALHALLA, August, 1874, Senex Doubts Christ’s Resurrection. To Tag EpiroR OF THE HBRALD: The question was asked a few Sundays ago in your paper, “How long was Jesus in the tomb ?? and the writer made out about thirty hours, This period was from the time He was taken down from the cross until the morning when the weeping sis- ters came to the tomb and found Jesus up and alive, clothed in the habit of a gardener. Itis stated in the fliteenth chapter of St. Luke, forty- fourth verse, that, an application being made by tne friends of Jesus for lis body, Pilate marvellied if He were already dead. Now, the most natural thing for His friends to do after receiving the body was to do exactly what I think they did—endeavor to re- store Him to lie. How successfully they did so is apparent in tie fact that in thirty hours alter it is announced to His iriends that He is alive. That He was wrapped in linen and taken to the tomb was all natural; tbat His friends procured and brought Him a suit of clothing 1s certain, being the clothing usually worn by the gardeners of that period, which was also a very proper thing for them to do, as they did not wish Him to be recognized by any but His friends. There does not appear co be anything very marvellous in all this. That the misston o1 Jesus to Jerusalem was not successful Is evident, and that His persecution and sufering induced Him to leave Jerusalem appears to be the dictate of common sens SENEX. Episcopacy on Long Island. For many years the Presbyterians were the great power on Long Island. The first inroads were made by the Methodists, The Baptists came iater and moved slower. On the election of Dr. Little- jobn as Bishop the Episcopal Church took up zeal- ously the work of home inissions. A fund was se- cured ior church building. Wherever a famtuy or two of churchmen 4s found there a little chapel 18 run up. The watering places, where the fashion- abies go for the summer, afford fertile soil ior Episcopacy. The isiand is now dotted ali over with these little church chapels, The Bishop, who is one of the hardest working men in the Church, keeps his eye on all these little outposts and en- courages the faithiul by constant personal visita- tions. These inroads have not only alarmed but positively weakened the great Presbyterian inter- Ministerial and Church Movements. ROMAN CATHOLIC. The Bishop of Boston has appointed the Rev. D. J.

Tobacco as a Means of Growth in Grace— Rev. Mr. Boole on Sunday Cigars—Rev. Mr. Lawrence on the Work and Work- ers of the Christian Ministry—Amuse- ments, Photography, Croquet, boating and Serenuding. Ska Ciive, L. L, August 1, 1874, Itis very apparent to even a casual observer here that fashionable life can exist about as well at a camp meeting resort as anywhere else. Sara- toga and Long Brauch are not more fashionable in their way than Sea Clif is in its way. The con- veniences for amusements, though of an innocent and recreative character, are so numerous and diversified here that many young folk of both sexes hardly ever think of going to the rengious services, in tent or tabernacle. Fishing apd boating, playing croquet on the puolic grounds or in private enciasures, moon- ight sails on the tranquil bay, or quiet rambles at twilight through shady groves ana Elysian rambles or midnight screnades to popular preachers or familiar triends, serve to break up what the worldly-minded young peopie consider the Movotononsness of the camp meeting services, Hence the numer of converts resultant from bis first series of meetings, now almost closed, may be counted by achild. A tew—a very small 1ew—proiess to have been sanctified here, But a real breach has not yet been made in Satan’s lines, It was thought on Thursday evening that his tines would soon give Way, but the ranks were closed again, and uniess the TWO BISHOPS, PECK AND SIMPSON, who are to lead the hosts of the Lord to-morrow, shall inspire their troops with more and greater Jaith and courage than has been imparted to taem hitherto, this meeting will close barren of nomeri- cal results of the saved. Bishop Peck has preached once already and given evidence of intense earnestness, both in his public addresses and private conversations, for the salvation of souls. Rev. Mr. Lansing, of brooklyn, last evenlag preached one of the most practical sermons that bas been heard on the camp ground during this season.

J., preached from Acts xi., 21, ‘‘And the hand of the Lord was with them; and a great number be- lieved and turned to the Lord.” His theme was the kind and character of the work to be done by the Chrisuan minister, the extent and nature of the fleld 0) lavor and the element of success which accompanies every faithiul servant of Christ, If he were to goto his own charge alone he would shrink back Irom the task beiore him.

The congregation was not large—perhaps 1,000 or 1,200 persona ‘The boat wus late and brought very lew city people, and the rain storm which came on here this aiternoon cleared the grounds and greatly lessened the numbers of those who came up m the last boat, The Seawanhbaka brought up a godly company, however, ana ar- rived here more than an hour earlier than the Sedge “a GOOD JOKE ON BROTHER BOOLE.” A report had been circulating about the ground for a few days that Mr. Booie had, on the Sabbain during the stay of the Southern bishops here, ordered from tie hotel a certaim number éf cigars for their use. The story was very circumstan tially put together, something hike Theodore’s charges against his iriend oi iormer days, it was retailed here as “@ good joke on Brother Boole.” But when @ newspaper correspondent got hold of it apd ventilated it through the press, what was betore considered a good joke now became an ac- cusation which demauded a public denial. Hence, al the close of Mr, Lawrence's discourse this morn- ing, Mr. Boole referred to the published report of the transaction, aud said that as a whole, and in all its parts, the story was absolutely alse. He gave no sucn order to Mr. Clinton jor cigars on Sunday as had been alleged, and had not bad apy puch conversation a8 Was reported then or at apy other time, and there is no such entry of —— cigars on the hotel booxs as charged to the asso- clation through him, And now he defined his po- giuOn on the tobacco qnestion. It was supposed that Mr. Boole was as strongly opposed to tobacco as to alcohol, and the points of the good joke were that he should order cigars at all, and that he should order them on Sunday. But to-day he de- fined his position, both privately and publicly, on the tobacco question, It would be sin to him tu use the weed, but he did not want to curtail others’ liberty in this respect. If others found TOBACCO TO BE A MEANS OF GRACB , they should use it: put let them be certain that it is a means of grace. He was opposed to the sale of cigars in the hotel, where Mr. Clinton, the man- ager, had set up @ neat glass case containin, choice brands 01 the weed.

A Radical and Equitable Settlement of the Roman Question, New York, July 31, 1874, To THR Eprron OF THE URRALD: In‘ spite of the emphatic declarations to the eflect that the Roman question is settled forever, the temporal power of the Papacy having ceased to exist on the 20th of September, 1870, when Vic- tor }mmanuel’s army took possession of the Eter- nal City, I do not believe it to be possible for a keen and impartial observer to deny the fact that, far from being dead and buried, the Roman ques- tion is, together with the Eastern probiem, and to an equal if not superior degree, the very black point which threatens Europe with a general con- Qagration at a moment's notice. ‘The Papacy, as it existed since the times of Char. lemagne, with a temporal sovereignty not power- ful enough to ever become a menace to any one, but yet suM@iciént to secure the perfect indepen- dence of the Holy See, was, it shouid not be for- woltten, the key stone of that European politico- soctal building which neither the Reformation nor the French Revolution—those two solemn thunder storms—succeeded in pulling down, so wonderiul was the vitality Impressed to it by che gentus of Roman Catholicism. It is easy to understand, then, why, notwith- standing the present total obliteration of his tem- poral power, Pius LX. remains the prominent fig- ure of the world, not simply because he is the head of Catholicity, but also, and much more, because, though deprived of his States, he still 1s the highest, personification of that principle of authority, the very basis of European governments—either mon- archical or republican, the ticket does not matter. If an iliustration of my allegation were needed T would only refer to the shuddering of anxiety which is universally felt from one end to the other of the earth, but more especially in Europe, every time the telegraphic spark brings the news of an indisposition of the Holy Father. Were Queen Victoria, or the Czar, or the Em- peror Wilhelm—or Bismarck himself—to dig to- morrow the impression resented at large would be sound, no doubt, especially on the dismissal of the German Chancellor, who is the deadly antag- | onist of the Vatican. But even the death of the Teutonic Mephisto would not by far cause a fright- ful commotion like the one sure to jollow the world-wide spreading of those four words, “THE POPE IS DEAD,’ and this tremendous shock will not result solely out of the nobie character of Pius [X., whose stub- bornness in what he belteves his right has reached the limits of sublimity, No! Pope having maintained unrestricted his non possumus against the spirit of the future, and never missed an occasion of revendicating the St, Peter's dominions as as integrant part of the traditions of the Church, his death wili, of course, be the signal for the reopening of that deadly struggie between the declining ana the rising politico-social order of things, each one of which is earnestly advocated by powerful nations, armed to the teeth and ready to take the fleld for the triumph of their scheme. Already and jor years past the great impending contest rages in the diplomatic spheres, and no one {8 ignorant of the numberless exertions, combinations and in- trigues to which both partisans and enemies of the temporal power have had recourse in order to pre- pare the gronnd and secure the election of a Pope favorable to their exclusive views on that ques- tion. Jt maybe thus asserted that the future Conclave Willhave to fulfil the most dificult and delicate task which wasever imposed upon an electoral body, it being placed between two adverse par- lies, equally strong and imperious in their de- mands, which do not admit of the least concilia- tion, On one side, the Jesuitic or ultramontane element, which dreams oJ a restoration of the tem- poral power, and has for its supporters France {| (ber government, at least), Spain, Portugal, Austria, Beigium and the sonth of Geimany. On the other side the so-called liberal and anti-pa- pist Europe, represented by England, Italy, Ho!- land, Russia and, above ail, Prussta, which leads that implacable crusade against the Vatican, not s0 much on account of the emancipation of mankind from the clerical yoke as for the sake of that most to be dreaded form of despotism—a State religion, on the model of Russian ortho- doxy—the Kaiser becoming then a two-headed despot, like his good brother, the Czar, at tne same time Emperor and Pontit, holding in his right hand the keys of Siberia and in his left one those of Paradise. interests are involved in this question—Who will be the future Pope ? Suppose that the Conclave should elect to the Su- | preme Pontificate of the Catholic Church a red man entirely devoted to the ultramontane interpretation of the apostolic sacerdoce, including Popish infalll- bility and temporal sovereignty (that isto saya member of the overwhelming majority among cardinals), it is but too evident that a schism of an unheard of magnitude, closely followed by the most horrible politico-religious war, Would burst out and cover the old Continent with streams of biood and heaps of wrecks, Suppose, on the couliiry (which is very im- probable), that the baughty Chancellor and his | ailies should succeed in influencing the Conclave so as to secure the return to the Holy See of one of the few Cardinals (either Italian or German) more or less openty adverse to Antonelli’s policy, and whose first act as a Pope would be to give up the antique claims of the Papacy undauntedly de- jended by Pius 1X.; in short, a Pope willing to make his peace with Victor Emmanuel and ac- | knowledge the Old Catholics, headea by Father Hyacinthe and Canon Dillinger, as genuine sheep of the Christian flock. Well, an equally disastrous conflagration would salute the election of auch & hberal Pope, which election would be with reason considered as an invaluable triumph for Bis- marck’s policy and @ dectsive step towards Ger- mun dictatorship ail over Europe. Moreover, it may be said vhat politics and religion are unfortunately so much mixed at the present day in Europe, owing to the state of confusion and decomposition into which that Continent is plunged, that, apart from the ultramontane ten- dencies of the wnole French and Austrian episco- pates, the appointment to the chair of st. Peter of an Austrian or Freuch Cardinal (especially f a French one) would not—and, let us say, could nor— be tolerated by Prince Bismarck, and wouid arouse anéw the piternational hatred Jrom the Danube to the Loire. : However, Pins IX.’s death is an event which can- Not ‘ong be delayed, if we consider the old age and infirmities of the venerable Pontiff, whose dis- toisaal will be the signal for the meeting of the Conclave and the election of another Pope. How, then, are we to avoid the tremendous hur- Ficane which, it seems, must fatally buret out at that time? Simply by the election of a prince of the Church altogether exempt by both his nationality and bis education of the traditional influences and secular prejudices characteristic of the European Catholic Episcopate—a man who, besides, could not be sus- pected by any of the rival Powers of favoring the secret derigns of the one at tne expense of the other, for the very good reason that he would not belong to any of them. ‘And where is to be found that Pope, that me senger of peace and fraternity, if not in the ranks of the American Episcopate, composed of citizens of a Republic that does not mix up in clerical mat- ters? Strongly impressed with that great principle, «The Church itee in a free State,” which is the law in our country, the modern Sixtus Quintus would inaugurate, as @ natural consequence of his tnborn ideas, a new era of grandeur and moral infuence | for the Papacy, without any danger of this bold Vv. Mr. Boole, in behalf of the tru® | and wise course exciting the least jealousy or sus- picion among the rival European Powers, But the present | In fact, the highest political | der to convert to his renunciation of his temporat power the nltramontaues, “more Papists than the Pope bimself,”? would have only to qaote ta his bull to that effect those very words of his illustrious | predecessor to the American pilgrims a tew weeka ago:— “The United States is the only country where 1 am reaily Pope in the eyes of the goverpment. Lt am always afraid lest European governments shal oppose or contro! my acts, whereas I can freely | send pontifical documents to the United Staves | without fear of opposition on the part of the gov- ernmeut.’” Could a more striking justification be needed by the future Pope for the spontaneous abdication of @ power which had certamly its reason of being for centurles, buf cannot any more be detained m face of the inexorabe logic of modera times, quite hostile to the abnormal coupling of Church and State matters ¢ The Pope might thus either continue to reside at Rome or move the headquarters of the Church to | any other place in Kurope or in America, a8 he | might judge convenient; besites, steam and elec- | tricity, in suppressing distances, would enable the Head of the Cathohe Church to govern his world- widely spread flock from Jerysalem, Malta, or any city in the United States, with the same speedy effect as if he chose to remain in the capital of the | new Itailau Kingdom. | In that manner on#®! the most imminent canses | of a general European conflagration would be | avoided, without any of the grave religious or po- | litical interests involved in the Roman question | being damaged, For the sake of the peace of the world all Chris- | tian governments should unite in urging the ven- | erable members of the future Conclave to give | their votes to one of the American Eminences whom His Holiness will very likely create in the next Consistory. AD MAJORE! M POPULI GLORIAM. THE AMERICAN CARDINAL DISCUSSION, {From the Liverpool Post} It is well known that the Pope is one of the kind- liest men, and that where he can do a favor he ia always ready to oblige even aheretic. We are bound to assume that he knows something of what is golng on all over the globe; but we shall prob- ably not be far wrong i{ we venture to suggest that his desire for universal information does not show itself to the extent of taking in the New York papers and making himself master of thelr contents, It 18 equally true, no doubt, that His Holiness coasiders that he is under no obligation to consult the English press, and if ina matter about which the Amerti- cans appear to feel stroogly, we reproduce their grievance in our columns, !t is mereiy in the hope that the appeal for redress may taeet the eye of one or otier of the Holy Fatuer’s 1nfuenttal coun- seliors in this country who might be considerate enongh to make @representiiion on the subject to the Vatican, Toe sore point with our kinsmen is that they have not and never have had @ cardi- nal, Their political and social creed rather frowns upon titles und dignities, but this is one of those numerous cases with which His Holiness must be famitiar, in which men are muci better and less | disagreeable than their principles. He need be under no apprehension tiat a prince of the Church would be deemed a standing affroat to the doctrine of republican equality. Equality Ia a technical flction—used by Americans who have got up a few rungs of the social ladder in the same sense as that in which the Pope subscribes himself serous servorum, In fact, the Americans have rather @ passion for the ornamental side of society. ‘Their constitution prohibits an order of nobles, bat see how they grasp at the distinction of “Hon.” and what @run there is upon the titles which are to be earned by a nominal connection with the militia, It would, therefore, be doing them @ real kindness if the Pope were to give them acardinal, It isin no angry but almost ina tearful mood that the New YoRK HERALD protests against the policy of maintaining tor the Sacred College the character of “an lialian ring.” “Wo cannot cease,” says our contemporary, “to regret that a country that gives the Papal office a liberty it possesses in no other lands should be overiooked in distributing the highest offices of the Church.” America, the HERALD contends, 18 “certainly entitled’? to a cardinal’s hat, There are a good many hats now vacant, and as the or- nament has lost much of its old value in Europe. His Holiness could not do better than send at least one to the Luited States.
