The answer given to St, Thomas by Jesus Christ was a marvellous one. Christ asserts a pre-eminence. Tne jurisdiction he assumes is absolute. In it is involved the very ESSENCE OF CHRISTIANITY. Christ claimed to untie in Himself ali possivie prerogatives. Taere is nota shaduw of occasion to convict Him of arrogance or Liasphemy.

ELDER. » At the Madison avenue Baptist church, corner of Madison avenue and Thirty-first street,the morning was preached oy the pastor, the Rev. Dr. Elder, who chose for his text—I. Corinthians, xv., 35th and fol- lowing verses. Dr. Elder's discourse was more in the natare of an analytical discussion of the mean- ing of the words and phrases contained in the text thanasermon, He endeavored to show that ‘the analogy of nature clearly indicates that there is to be another life, and anotner world, celestial, which the human family will be caliea to inhabit, and that on the death of our animal bodies there will be a spiritual existence, To strengthen his theories he referred to the planting of seeds ana grain, and bow in the cou of time by the Ratural law of fruition these seeds assumed new forms and shapes. He contended, too, twat our bodies are made up of three distinct parts, viz., boay aud soul and spirit, Tae first two ne Baid are possessed in some degree by animals, but to Han alone is given the spirit, He argued aiso | against the probable break of our personal identity, | for although the ourward eing may be consti tuted divierentiy yet there will still be present a | conscion 8 0} INCiVIdUAlity and identity such | a8 We are DOW possessed oO; Tne question bas | been raised, said the presoner, as to whether tne | actual parts of our eartaly bodies will be reuntted Ltbe time Of the resurrection, Sume people argne the impossibility of this pene, tne Case, a3 | when, jor instance, @ Man Has been burned at tue | stake and his ashes scattered over the face of the | wavers, or in tue case woere another may have leit one Limb ln one part of the world and one in another distant spot. 1 say that it ts my beller that our animal bodies will die and that fom tne | poms of death istence when we _ shull take on our- selves the forms of the angels and be made fit to inhabit that celestial worid of which tue ir le sveaks.

MB. BEECHER ON SELF-HELP AND THE DUTY oF INDEPENDENT THOUGHT. Plymouth church was excessively crowded yes- terday morning, and many went away unable to ef:ctau entrance. Mr. Beecner’s sermon yester- day was undoubtedly the best he has deliverea lor many weeks, It reflected the style of preaching woich bas made the Plymouth pastor celebrated during so many years, It was suca @ sermon as might be deiivered by a man of great genius, whose only books bave been the Biole, and the wise open volume of lie as it is. Indeed, the idea could easiiy be extracted irom it that Mr, Beecher passes uli his time in reading the Scrip- tures and in closely watching nature, both buman andantmal. He appears to bind the resuits of these two studies into @ sheaf, which he exhibits as @ sermon, If his sermons are examined closely, or—to continue the figure of the preced- ing sentence—if the sheaves are taken to pieces, it will be jound chat they are composed merely of the tex! from tne Bible, aod of strong, goquent, | though sometimes holy illustrations drawn trom | the ways of the world. No chaff! extracted from the works of ordinary writers is ever to be found in them. Yesterday morning be read the fifth chapter o1 Hebrews. Alter along and iervent prayer, and when two Lymns nad been sung, Mr. Beecher began his sermou, The first hymn sung was No, 74i of the Piymouth churco collection, It seems lixely toat it i8 one very dear to Mr. Beecner, When bis present circumstances are consiaered, jor three of Lis verses read as tullows:— Be siil) my heart; those anxious cares ‘To thee are burdeas. thorns and ‘They cast dishunoron thy Lotd Anu cou.radic: «1s graciuus word Brought safely by Mis hand thas fi Why wiit thou vow give pl How causi thou want. it H Or love thy way with suck Me who has helped me hithe Wiki uelp we aut iy jour.

He then said, in substance:—Tne part of this text which I sbali refer to particalariy js, “Those Who by reason ol use have their senses exerci: to discern votu good aud evi.” The principle ex- pressed 1a these words is ut the base of tue econowy of the world, This text alirins thar itis @ maniy duty to take care o| yoursell, That passivences, under whose inducuce « person Wilt sit still, Waiting, ike @ young rout, for the mouta to o@ filled, is rebuke b, tnese words. in chapter of Hebrews irom woich it Is takeu, every stage of hawan growth is recogmzed, wut in tne text itself the Melvod OF growth Is Seized.
