Father McNamee. ‘The feast of All Saints was commeworated yes- terday at the Cathedral, as it was at all the Roman @atholic churches with customary observances. ‘The reiuious festival is heid in hovor chiedy ofall ‘the saints, whose good deeds and heroic sel!-sacri- ces in the cause of righieousuess have not been made known, or bave not attracted that universal g@ttention which might induce a public record of Sheir lives. The great edifice was thronged to its ‘etmost capacity. Indeed, this might be said of ‘every Sunday in the year, since fair or foul weather has rarely any effect upon the attendance at ‘Whe Cathedral. The Key. Father Kearney was the ‘OMictating clergyman, and at the termination of @he first Gospel tne Rev, Father McNamee de- Ivered a timely and wholesome address, in the gourse of which he took occasion to call attention to the dreamy Ideas of those who, having com- mitted acts of injustice, hoped at some indefinite period to make fitting retribution. He pomted ut, in vigorous terms, the fallacy of inculging in gach imaginative speculations, owiag to the un- certainty of iife, Many appropriated what be- Jonge to another and endeavored to persuade themselves tnat at some distant day they would make full compensation, believing, perhaps, that they were committing no sin in so doing, but it was a well established lact that uuder such cir- cumstances extrication was next to an im- bility. The reverened gentleman also length on the grasping avarice some men, who in the hope of sell- dizement cared little or nothing for i@ welfare of those ia their employ. He Warned the congregation against the delusive idea of future retribution for -1ms committed that ‘were suggested only by the hope of present gain. ‘The musical services were, as usual, conducted by Mr. Gustavus Schmitz, who, with comparatively Mimited material, contributed much to the lemnity of the ceremonies. The mass sunz was yy Salieriin Bb fat, At the offertory Rossini’s “0 Balataris” was beauttiully rencered by Mrs. Giles, assisted by an excellent chorus.

OHUROH OF THE HEAVENLY BEST. The Rest of the Saints. The Church of the Heavenly Rest, Fifth avenue, above Forty-filth street, was crowded to excess yesterday morning with a congregaticn revresen- tative of wealth, fashion and inveliect. The music Was unexceptionably fine, and tie entire service, although very protractea, was most impressive. The Right Rev. Arthur Cleveland Uoxe, Bishop of Western New York, preached, taking his text from Revelation, xiv., 13—‘And I heard a voice ig heaven saying unto me, write, Biessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth. Yea, aaitn the Spirtt, that they may rest from ‘heir iavors and their works do follow them." In the sweet spring time, when the tender Diades of grass pecp outirum the cold bosom of the earth, when the trees put forth their buds, and the votce of the singing bird 13 heard in the land, tne Church calls her children to rejoice in vhe faith of the resurrection of the gead. We re- Jotce, as children of God, in the resurrection of Christ. But now, when the leaves are becoming gere and withered, wuen the days are shortening and the first breath of winter is felt, we are re- minded that we, too, are subject to decay—that we ell mast fade as the leaf, On this All Saints’ Day we are naturally led to think of our immortality.

The floral decorations at Lyric Hall yesterday were very beautiful. A large bouquet of roses occupied the table, and on one side of the plattorm were brilliant-colored autumn leaves and ferns. Mr. Frothingham discoursed to a large congrega- tion om the subject of “All Saints’ Day.” He seid :—in the calendar of the Romish Church this js All Saints’ Day. The origin of the ‘estival was in this wise:—There stands in the city of Rome a Biighty church, called the Pantheon. It was built pefore Christ and was dedicated to all the gods, and in it stood statues of emperors and mighty pegan deities, which the people worshipped. In 608 Pope Bontiace begged permission to reconsecrate the building. The images of tne gods were cast out, and the images of saints introduced, and It be- came 4 Christian church, and on that day the fes- taval of All Saints was orda@imed. The saints ‘Whose glory was held up were Christain saints always. We are not wo suppose that the saints were exclusively Cnristian, jor there were saints before Christ was born. We fail into the error of supposing that all saints, if not Onristian, are at least pio by profession; that all saints are re- ligious men. Notso. August Compte made a cal- endar of saints, but they were not men out of the ‘world, but men who were in the world, Now, these saints of August Compte—the atheist, the who believed in no future—were still pos sessed of the same saintiy qualities of saints in the Christian Church. As with the trees in au- tumn, each turning a different color, so it is with saints. The color depends on the uationality, on the conditions of their jie. but the spirit in them is always the same. What cap We do better this morning *ban to think of the qualities o/ saintul- Bess! WHAT I8 IT TO BE A SAINT? What gives coloring to that group of qualities which we call by that all but forgotten name? Let lyze them ior the purpose of making these great qualities have not only Sat in the dust are those who wear the crowns. Anotuer quality Of saintliness 1s renunciauon. Renunciation is often spoken of as the sacrifice of sell; the man Wuo renounces simply lays claim to a higher self mstead of the lower which he re- nounces. When George Washington had finished his career as a soldier, had achieved the tnde- pendence of hig country ahd was weicome to the highest honors at his oountry’s dis- posal, jaise friends urged him to make himself dictator. He presented himself before Congress, and said, “I bid farewell to you; to-day I resign my commission and withdraw irom ail mbiic omce.” That was the greatest act in jeorge Washington’s Iife, so acknowledged, so recorded, and you Say {t Was Hot “renunciation ;” he preferred the quiet of lis own dignity, feeling of his own mndependence to ali the applause of men. | take secular examples, because ths is asecular age. Asaint is always great in pa- tience; the gospel of our day is unpatience. If you would succeed, be impatient, and so you must. THE GOSPEL OF IMPATIENCB has its time and piace and virtue, but all action bas {ts reaction, and patience 18 as active as ac- tivity is. Apother virtue is meekness. We do not believe in meekness; We believe im resistance, re- taliation, Jesus says, ifa man smite thee in ty cheek turn to him the other also; the meek shail inherit the earth, Wedon’t believe that gospel. It bas faen tuto entire disrepute; it ts not ex- pected that we should live up to it. You might as Well expect to have all the (felicity of heaven amid all the tumult of earth, The saint ts al 8 great in aspiration. Aspiration 38 the preathing out for something higher. 1s aspiration a virtue confined only to religious people? Men speak o1 saintiiness as if it were a thing outgrown; but we will find that all these virtues, singly and combined, belong to the new dispensation as truly as to the old. These qualities belong not to any theology or any theory of God and man, but belong to human na- ture itself, and forever and forever it must be true that he that exalteth himself will ve abased. | CHURCH OF THs MESSIAH. Sermon by the Rev. Dr. W. R. Alger, | ef Boston—“Quit You Like Men.’ The Rev. Dr. Alger, of Boston, tt was announced | would preach at the Church of the Messiah yester- | day, and a large and fashionable congregation filled the handsome edifice. The minister took his | text from St. Paul’s First Epistie to the Corinthians, XVL, 13:-—“Quit you like men.” This text, said the | divine, was the battle cry eof all Christians, It told men plainiy what to do; it was the keynote to the iife of Cbrist. Men could not be angels, | because they were glorious bodies in heaven; they could not be brntes, because that would degrade them; they were not required to a quit themselves iike angels, because that were impossibie, por like brutes, because brutes were not moraliy responsible; but they were strictiv enjoined to acquit themselves like mea, This text ought to be considered careiully by all meu. They should ponder deeply upon it. Men should read the Scriptures more thoroughly and use | judgment in all of thetr religious arguments. ftuey should be charitable to one anotner, fix their allegiance on God and tune their souls to accord with Christ, They must stand firm in all manly work, drawing strength irom the Saviour. ‘the time wilt come to all men when they need angels’ help, and if they have been steadiaat aud faithiul in the good work set them to do and acquitted themselves like men the angels will come audcheer them. There are times when hardships almost crush men, and when temptaions beset tuem sorely, but they must fight against them, resist them with all their Might, be men, snd the kingdom of heaven would, attne last, be opened unto tiem. Angels, said the preacher, were good alone, and their works were ordered by God and were purely spiricual. Man’s work was poth bodily and mental, and he should act from lus heart and be governed by the royal reason that his Maker gave him. He should send his thoughts out into pature and Jearn, he should iet bis imagination go out mto space and PROFIT BY WHAT IT SAW. Men must not be led by false dogmas. They must cast off all superstitions, and search deeply aiter the trutu, Trey must be as mear as possivle | like the angels. ‘hey did God’s will and loved to | do so. Men must not be disheartened by hardsbips and trials, they mast bear up bravely under them, and if they do so and seek strengtu {rom heaven it would be granted them, and the angels would come and hover over and help them. If men will fumbly trust in God and obey His divine cor, mands nothing can hurt them, nor can evil spea ing do them harm. And St, Paul has plainly told us how to serve the great Creator of the world in the siinple line, “Quit you like men.’?

The neat little Swedenborgtan church in Thirty- filth street, between Park and Lexington avenues, was’ weil filled yesterday morning by a fashionable, but by no means large congregation. Rev. Chaun- cey Giles, the regular pastor, occupied the pulpit. His text was from St. Matthew, ninth chapter ana last clause of the socond verse—‘‘Be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.” The torgive- ness of our sins, he began, ts the most important chanted | subject which can claim our attention. Sin is the only poison in the cup of life. We cannot consider the subject too carefully, and a study of it is very important to us; im fact it 1s @ subject in which our vital interest centres. Sim i8 ® disease of body—a distortion, @ malformation, a spiritua, death. It is a paralysis of all man’s spiritual facul- ties. He is stricken as by disease; he wanders sickens and dies. Our conceptions of this subject are too abstract; we do not bring it home to us, 1 intend to present the subject in a somewhat novel Manner this morning. The Holy Scriptures tell us that the Lord made man in His image. After an infinitely perfect model, then, was man moulded, He was to become the perfection of human nature. We can have no adequate concep- tion of the capacities of the human torm for beauty. It overtops the mountains in grandeur; it rivais the tints of @ summer sunset. The human face can be brighter than the day. We sometimes see faces whose expression is loveliness itself. There are e FACES WHOSE LOOK IS A BENEDICTION. The Holy Scriptures tell us what the human face is capable of becoming. When Moses came down from the mountain his face shone so that he had vo cover it with @ vet! The logical conclusion is that so far as man becomes the embodiment of Divinity he will become transiormed into a like- ness of tue Divine, ‘The face 1s a canvas on which | the heart writes the lite history. Joy Muminates iv; it can be as bright and Warm as @ summer day. it can be as sullen and wrathinl as a tempest. The face changes the body into its own form. In some faces tue jooks uneasy and sinister, the mouth frets even when it is quiet and the Wilole lace be- comes 4 perpetual snarl; a melancholy disposition casts its clouds over the countenance. You see imaginary sorrows stealing across the features. But the baser passions show us more terribly how tie feelings of the heart change the expres- ston of the leatures. ‘he jorehead will retreat be- cause lhere 18 ho need o: intellect, the jaw will be rominent and large, and @ heavy, debauched, bestial expression will gradualiy settle upon ail the features.

Dr. McGlynn—The Phil. osophy of Sanctity—The Saints Our Models. Yesterday being the feast of “All Saints,” solemn | high mass was celebrated in St. Stephen’s vy the Rev, Father Costigan, assisted by the Rev. Father McCready as deacon and the Rev. Father Carroll as sub-deacon, When Father McCready had finished the singing of the gospel the Rev. Dr. McGlynn ascended the pulpit. Before commencing the sermon the Doctor announced that on next Sunday evening Verdi’s grand mass of requiem will be given in St, Stephen’s, under the direction of Mr. L. Dachauer, by the same choir that sang isonlast Sunday morning in St, Ann’s church, assisted by other distinguished singers. fle then Gave his flock some vastoral counsel about their duty to support religion and reminded them that @n Opportunity was offered them to co-operate | 1n God’s work, the beauty of worship as expressed in the material temple, by attending the ladies’ fair now in progress tn the basement hail of the church, and thus helping to lessen the debt on the church. He then read the gospel of the day, Matt, v., 1-12, and preached a very consoling dis- course on the feast of the day, of which tho fol- | lowing Is a synopsi: The Church, in appointing the Gospel of the Beatitudes to be read on the feast of “All Saints,” plainly indicates that they, and tney only, are sats of God, who have possessed those virtues on which Christ pronounced His solemn bene- diction, They practised these virtues while on earth and were happy, because, being raised by faith above the things of the world, they were not affected by those disquietudes and cares which rob the worldling of peace; and they now enjoy in heaven the complement of that happiness which made them blessed tn ‘this valley of tears.” Iv 13 not lor the saints’ sake, but ours, that the Church has established this festival, When we reflect that tne saints were once the same FRAIL CREATURES that we are, surrounded by the same dangers, that they had no other road whereby to reaca heaven than that which 1s open to us, do we not | seel the consoling assurance that their glory may be also ours?

Our Saviour says, “Be you neriect as’ also your heavenly fatner ts periect;” and this command implies the duty of wns to imitate the virtues of the saints. We may not be able to cling as closely to the cross as did those heroic souls, but we can follow at a distance and ‘not alar off,” as did the disciple alter denying his Master. Diligent and persevering prayer is @ certain means of ob- taining, througa the merits of Jesus Christ, all the aid that we require in our endeavors to follow in the footsteps of the saints. We can also have the assistance of the intercession of the blessed in heaven, if we only ask it, and the Onureh exhorts us to pray to them. We know irom Holy Writ that the faithinl can help one another by their prayers; and surely the saints in approaching the throne of God, whois love, cannot have become less solicitous about the salvation of their brethren. St. Joho in that wonder.ul book “The Apocalypse,"' states that he | Saw tbe saints offering up the prayers of the faith- juin GOLDEN CENSERS before the throne of the Lamb. The saints had greater difficulties to contend | With than we have, Many of them were men ol un- ually strong passions. St. Francis de sales, chat gelic model oi meekness, tells us that he was naturally irascible. The Apostie of the Indies, St. Francis Xavier, was eaten up with ambition, yet St. Ignatius, by Ryd directing that passion, gave to the world a glorious mode} of zeal fer the salvation of souls. And so with all the saints. Let us waik as closely as we can iu their joot- steps and we shall surely hear the divine invita- tion, “Come ye biessed of my lather and possess the kingdom prepared for you from tha beginning o1 the world.” OHUROH OF S81. JOHN THE BAPTIST, The Bishop of Kingston, Jamaica, on the Mystical Union Between Christ and His Chureh. After @ strictly unritualistic service at this church yesterday morning, the Rigut Rev. Regi- naid Courtenay, Lord Bishop of Kingston, Ja- maica, delivered a very eloquent and spiritual discourse on the bridal relation of the Church and the individual believerto Christ, taking his text from Psaims, xlv., 10 and 11—‘‘Hearken U, daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people and thy father’s house; so shall the King greatly cesire thy beauty; forhe is thy Jord; and worship thou him.’’ The right reverend prelate began by saying that the words of his text conveyed the idea of a mar- Tage. it would be a mistake, however, to suppose that the language of this marriage song was to be limited to its primary signification, or merely re- ferred to the marriage of King Solomon to the Gaughter of the King of Egypt. It perhaps had that earthly meaning, which would come first, but there was an alter spiritual signification, dificult and deep, which would distinctly refer them toa | much higher and holier idea. All the words of Scripture are to be taken first in their literal and then in thete wider spiritual signification; and, having exhausted all their literal meaning, we shall find the beautiful images which lay beneath them. The words used by the Psalmist elsewhere, ‘Thon shait pat all things ander his feet’? could reier to no one bat to the Divine Son, who was only second to God the Father, as Was explained by St. Paul when he said that Jesus was “made a littie lower than the angels to be clothed with glory and nonor.” Under His leet the Almighty Irather would put the universe, that He might fill aii things. The words, “thou art fairer than the children of men,” could reier to but one being. Who couid be said | to be “altogether lovely” and “uli of praise” but the Son of God, to whom the Father, we are told, gave not the spirit by measure’ The term ‘*most mighty" could not apply to Solomon, but must re- Jer to Him who was to gird His sword upon His thigh and would forever sit down on the right hand of God, being annointea with the oll of gladness above His fellows. The daughter who is to forsake her own people and her father’s house is the Church of bride, the Lamb’s wile, of whom iti Maker is thy husband ;” and tt i relationship that every individual believer stands to the Saviour as his accepted bridegroom.

SEVENTH AVENUE MBTHODIST BPISOOPAL OHUROE. Dr. Wild on Ministering Spirits. Dr. Wild’s sermon yesterday morning was based upon Hebrews, |., 14—‘‘Are they not all minister- ing spirits, sent forth to minister for them who | shall be heirs of salvation.” It was sald that the human body was an epitome Of all the elementary substances of the earth, and | thus man by his physical constitution was related | to the world of matter. If this was true man was @ marvellous centre of force and a subject of won- deriul influences, Each element was relatively proportioned and serviceable {na state of health; | disproportion entailed disease, and disease pro- duced disorganization and death, But man was more thao a material organization. He was | | spiritual ana immortal, The demands and real needs of the animal were bounded and contained in and by the material; but man soon outgrew this world, and longed for something not of earth—a desire that was intensified by considering the In- terest that Heaven took in the same, for even angels were made to minister upto us, to aid us in such @ manner a8 should instruct us in things pertaining to eternal life, Of the mode or nature of angelic ministration we could in this life know bur little; but the apoaker clearly showed by con- vincing argument that such was part of their mis- sion, and their ministration was specially appli- cable to infants untit their minds could gras) material things. Their work did not end with this world’s fleeting existence. He believed that when we come to our second birth by death; when strange sounds break upon the iniant ear; when strange influences shoot athwart the brain and heart; when the grandeur of the beauty of the eternal city far surpassed the beauty of the ancient temple; so the soul that struggles through death and is overwhelme y the beauty that meets its vision is taken charge of by the angels, and told this and that till it began to grow and grasp ali it saw. Dr, Wild ciosed bis remarks by urging his hearerg not to be indifferent to their salvation, or slow to have the ministering influ- ences of angels, until it was decided tn love that | they wore subjects to fall into the hands of the good and the holy, Sermon by the Rev. Mr. Ganse—“‘What We Know About Heaven.” ‘The Rev. Mr. Ganse preached yesterday morning in the Reformed church, Madison avenue and Fifty-seventh street, on “What We Know About Heaven,” taking his text trom the Epistie to the Hevrews, xi., 16. ‘The Bible might be called the “Book of Heaven." All who are in heaven are found belonging to the classes of the good mentioned in it, and we our- Selves are, let us hope, on the journey toward tne | happy country. But what do we know about heaven? There are two classes of persons of whom we may speak—one, that which docs not | care about heaven; the other, that which shrinks | | from presuming to inquire fuily into the question. ‘There are people of recent years who say (ft is unmaoly to discuss the matter | ab oall—tnat ts to » i wonld be manly 10 us not to hope that God wonla make for us @ happy eternity.

Itexhibits an abundant evidence of the beauty of the religion whica teaches us that in the most exalted life to which mau can aspire the | source of the aspiration is inseparably mingled with THE HOPE OF IMMORTALITY. It 1g dimicult to conceive how anybody, with fall common sense, could attempt to strike out such a hope from men’s hearts. In reasoning on such an | attempt and the causes of it the thought strikes us | that there some people, perhaps, who would strike out the hope on account of the fear in their | own breasts, It is said in the Bible by an illus- trious follower of Christ that the good night was | fought, the /aith preserved, the close come to, aud he was now in hope of an immortal crown of - | glory.

LONDON, Oct. 10, 1874, The principal points of the article on ritualism, which, as has been long announced, Mr. Gladstone 18 co contribute to the forthcoming number of the Contemporary Review, were given in yesterday morning's papers, which had been furnished with early sheets for the purpose. The general opinion seems to be that the article is somewhat vague, and, except on one point to be hereafter noticed, not sufficiently explicit. Mr. Gladstone explains ritual to be founded on the apostolic precept that all things should be dune decently and tn order, and declares that “‘ritualism surely means an un- due disposition to ritual.” Of the ritualism by which the public mind has been agitated, and concerning which great controversy has been raised, Mr. Gladstone has but little to say. He chooses to regard ritualism apart from its use, but symbolizes those doctrines and those precepts which are nearly akin to the Romish rather than the mnglish Chured, although he admits that a strong connection between high doctrine and high ritual is to be found in tne Church of England. This connection, he says, “43 for the present hopelessly mixed with polemt- cal consideration, and therefore excluded from the field of these remarks.” Mr. Gladstone writes with such marvellous elo quence that it 18 regretted that he hag not chosen to ace the matter boldly and to speak without reticence upon it. When he telis us that the ontspring of ritaslism consisted in @ feeling of dissatisfaction with the bareness and baldness of religious services half century ago, Which led the Church of Englan id other religious bodtes to ive more beauty to their services, he telis us only what we know; but as the London 7vmes boldly puts it, “throughout the whole article he does not touch the main question, whether we shall not in nine hundred aud Dinety-nine cases vut of a thousand be right in our suspicions that ritualism, with its accom. panying tricks and graces, is intended ag intro Uuctory to sacerdotalism? One question, how- ever, the ex-Premier has set at rest. ‘Preposter ous reports, emanating from ridicalous sources, appear from time to time in thé newspapers, slating that Mr. Gladstone is & Ronianist in dis- guise.
