St. Paul bad been at Thessalonica about three weeks; he had preached in the streets duting secular days, and on the Sabbath it was his custom to enter the synagogue and tuen, making use of tne He- brew privilege to speak and expound the Scrip- tures, he took the scroll of the Old Testament and Brgued, St, Paul’s forse was the logic of Socrates, to begin by asking you @ simple questio id then lead you on till you arrived at tue conclu. sion he joresaw and determined, There are two points to discuss, First, that Jesus, Messiah rather, must needs die, be buried and rise again, and in order to prove this to them be turned one alter another to the prophecies of iden times, bringing to bear with convergent force on tis point everything that nad been said im times past concerning the INCOMING OF THE LORD, and when he bad sufficiently proved thig the next point was found to be equally essential, which was that Jesus of Nazareth was that foretold Messiah, Aad I think 1 can je tnis sturdy preacher standing up in that Hebrew synagogue talking with the power of inw: convic- tion in iunguage that coulu be stayed jn its) efiegs «no §=6mor than th ius e poming of the Ude.

REASONABLE RELIGION—SERMON BY REY. 0. B. FROTHINGHAM, The Rev. U. B, Frothingham preached yester- day morning for the first time in Masonic Hail, Which is henceforth to be the home of his flock, ‘The sermon was a denunclation of the extremes of orthodoxy and infidelity, and the novel spec- tacle of applause (& ¢, clapping of bands) was witnessed during its delivery. It was a plea for a medium course of faith, seconded by intelligent inquiry, which the reverend preacier called “reasonable religion.” THE MODERN SPIRIT OF INQUIRY. It {8 @ great mistake to suppose that a reason- able religion, because It has no contradictions or mysteries must, therefore, be barren and cold. Is trust or aspiration not reasonable? Reason comprehends the highest compass of the human mind, Rubinstein, the composer, once went to Plymouth church, and was asked how he liked it. Well, he said, he had heard a very sensible talk, but no religion, The preacher had told them how they should live and be honest, but religion taught men to do what was impossible. Keligion says, dream of a being vastly higher than you are. There is no question that within the last centu- ries reason acquired a great ascendancy in religion, It began with Martin Luther, and after him came the long procession of Protestant scholars who criticised the deity of Christ, everlasting damna- tion, &c., and asserted the supremacy of reason, But no Protestant divine has tried to assert this supremacy of reason over every part of the relig- ion; some sacred corner has still been left which Teason has not dared to Invade. The next step was to invade the domain of the Old Testament. Reuson found that it was not entitled to credence io point of chronology, science and history. It Was discovered that \t Was but a collection of Iite- rary works and not the Book o! ail booss, ‘the New Testament was also regarded as a collection of the early Christian jiterature, beauritui, grand, but not ax tue expression of the iniallivie Deity.

DR. BELLOWS ON SUDDEN CONVERSIONS AND DANGEROUS DOCTRINES. Rey. Dr, Bellows preached yesterday morning, taking as bis text the Book of Ezekiel, xxii, 26— “Her priests have violated my law and have pro- faned mine holy things; they have put no differ+ ence between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean.” This is part of the reproaca which the prophet brought against the priests of his own day, that they handled the clean and the unciean. Certainly this cannot be reproached to the priests of to-day, jor they are apt to quarrel on small matters, And we remember the severity of Jesus Christ against this splitting hairs on teonnicalities of religion instead of studying the heart of it. In our civilization we are some- What prone to do tuis. A lie with an oatn is no more than a lie without one.

FREE EPISCOPAL CHURCH. TRUE REPENTANCE—SERMON BY MBS. M. E. Lowry. The Free Tabernacle Methodist Episcopal churen, in Thirty-fourth street, w: ell flied yesterday morning. Mrs. Mavgaret E. Lowry, the converted actress, was the speaker. Mrs. Lowry is a smail, deucate looking woman, dresses plainly and neatly, and she hi an intelligent face and pos- sesses considerable force and vigor. Alter read- ing a few passages from the Bible, among them Paul's speech before King Agrippa, Mrs. Lowry stated that the lecture she intended to de liver was not the one she nad set down for the occasion, She had gone to bed on Saturday night with her mind made up to speak on a certain subject, but when she woke up yesterday morning God seemed to whisper in her ear that she must change the lecture and speak to her hearers on the subject of “True Re- pentance.” She then rejated a number oj instan- ces where people had been brought to Christ by preachers changing their sermons because they felt an inward conviction that some person in the house ought to hear certain doctrines. She said that such had been her own experience on two oceasions, and something in her heart toid her that there were those before her who need to hear something on the subject of repentance. She begged her hearers to understand the truth taat God was merciul, jong sudering and slow to anger, and that He hal said His spirit Would not strive always with nm: God had invited all_ men to repent and hid promised them a great reward if they would do so; /urtaer- more, He bad said that all men snouid repent, and He would have His jaws obeyed. Men could, if they pleased, repent on this earth and REAP YHE MEAVENLY REWARD in store for them, or they could watt ontil after death and repent througa ali eternity; but repent. ance would then be too ijate. God had promised to help ali who desirea to repent, but He had not said how long He would strive to help them. His promise was ood to-day; but it might not avail to-morrow, ow Was the accepted ume. Lite was shor!, and jo man knew when bis hour was to come. [t was a@ terrible thing ior a man to near Gud say, “Tuts nignt shail thy soul ve required of thee,” and not find bimsely ready to meet his Maker, We should give up all earthly idols and turu at once to the mercy seat, where even kings must ask ior pin We must do so with lowly and penitent carts. We had, said tee s euker, only to ask God in humbie spirit to hear our prayer and He would do so, and though He did not speak to us 1Ace fo face, yet He could commune wiih us at ail hours, in our sicep—tnat near semuiance of death. God visited us in dreams. Tne lecturer said none bat good men tad good dreams, and that bad men had dreams TO WHICH HELL WOULD BE A PLEASURE. She believed that she could tei @ man’s char- acter ii she knew his dreams, for she believed that God spoke to us in them. She also believed that we shouid trust God to put words in our mouth when we were bent lu doing His holy work, She remembers when ste was first converied and tried to speax that the words iroze in her mouth, but the minister told her not to break down, she had & great work to periorm, and soe must pray for strength. She aid pray, and the next day she arose in atl her strength and found no diticuity in speaking the 1 life to those who came to hear her. The suid at one time she __ believed the mass of tie people when they said that Women should tot preach, but she did yot now, tor she belveved they could du untimited good if they would only try. And she hoped toat the words she spoke Would sink deep into the hearts of her hearers, and tiat they would 2o home ana truly repent ana not make a show or it, The time Was stort and no man kuew when the Son oi Man would come, tor He would come like @ thet In the nigh’, avd we must ao like the prodigal son, act at once, arise and go to Our Patner and not stop to ponder When We shoaid go.

PLYMOUTH CHURCH. HENRY WARD BEECHER ON ‘‘THE TRUE SOCIAL- IsM OF THIS WORLD TO BE PERFECTED IN THE NEXT.” Plymouth church was crowded yesterday morn- ing, but there were many persons who came late, Among them was Mr. Beecher himself, He came in, however, looking unlike the majority of peovie who had preceded him, as if the muggy weather had not the power to damp his spirits. He ap- peared to be vigorous in every faculty, as if he had just ended a campaign which had strung his sinews, over and under, until pis system-bad be- come once more @ grand pianojorte from which nO note unirue to the design of its Creator could come; which, being played upen by the will, would give outexactly every sound within vhe diapason. Looking at the renowned Congre- gational preacher yesterday every one must have expected a characteristic sermon, Perhaps the last remark spould be explained, Mr. Beecher’s sermon was characteristic of him. But it was stricter than he was wont to make his discourses, He ts a discursive talker, and he selects his illus- trations igom the whole gamut of Iife, blending gay pictures and even ludicrous sketches with solemn cartoons darkened with misery’s umber, and making a complete painting, which is yet not always congruous in detail, Mr. Beecher’s ser- mons, considered figuratively, as paintings, usually cannot be judged properly, except as they are decomposed by the critic, At this lower leit hand corner of one of them is a wonderfully sketched incident of school lite—an occurrence such us has happened to every young scholar, It has @true, also a comic sense, and effectively illustrates what it is desired to evince. Apove it is @ thorough, patiently worked out pastoral picture. Between these and some sympathetic depictions of a mother’s holy love expressed over the bed or coffin of her child, a sinner’s death bed and a holy man’s japse into Givine lite, 18 @ central picture of Christ the Christ suffering for his lov@ot mankind. Now, | these picvures do not blend imperceptibly one into anotuer. There are strong lines between them, Whoever judges them as a whole does wrong, and | certainly does not end with conceiving a great opinion of Mr. Beecher, That clergyman’s ser- mons must be heard to be understood periectiy, or if they are read, the reader must divest him- self of the sense of artistic rhetoric. The Ply- | mouth pastor works away from rhetorical rules, because by doing sv he achieves succe: but itis doubtful that be could tollow them if he tried. | His mind seems to be unabie to skim ligntly over | anything, to take just enough of a thought to serve in piecing out adesign, He has no exact and predetermined design. He probes every idea which comes to his mind and exposes every fea- ture of it—the gay as weil grave, the pathetic, the melancholy. Yet, so far as the writer knows, he seldom flads anything shocking tu expose, What aranting speaker denounces as dauwpable, | | as ofensive to God and man, Mr, Beecher consid- | TABERNACLE METHODIST | ers aud speaks of as melancholy, ‘rhe sermon yesierday Was not so varied in sen- timent as Mr, Beecher’s discourses usually are. | In the ideas evoived throughout its course, there Was but slight opportunity lor jovial remark. 1t Was exposilonel and explanatory, and seemed meant to carry balm to the bruised hearts o1 some mothers auloved by the 108s of children and wives mourning jor husbands gone, Who had expressed tneir anguish in questions to their pastor.
