The text from which Mr. Hepworth deliverea his aiscourse was the jollowing words from the twenty-fith and twenty-seventa verses of the ‘thirty-third chapter cf! Deurerovomy:—‘‘As thy” Gays are, so shall thy strength be,” and “rhe eternal God is thy refuge.” From these passages a very Impressive and elo- quemt sermon was preaciued. ‘Tae Bible,’’ said the speaker, ‘contains the literature of helpiui- ness. it is a revelation of the means whereby one can receive from without a power tiat he kiew not of.” Tocorrovorate the words of the text Mr. Hepworth read a portion of the Second book of Chronicies aud extracis {rom the fitieth chapter Of Isaiah—‘‘For the Lerd God will help me; there- fore shall l not be confounded; therefore have I set my ‘aee like a flint.” Tnis, then, was the ieith 01! those who lived 2,500 years ago, a jaita that we Foie to this day.

PLYMOUTH CHURCH. THE PROMISES OF GOD—SERMON BY THE REV. DR. NOAH PORTER. The absence on vacation of Mr. Beecher from Niflee Was, nevertheless, comfortably filled, The sermon was preacheu by tae Rey. Dr. Noah Porter, Presi- Gent of Yale College. Afrer the usual preliminary exercises the reverend gentleman selected his text [rem the Gospel according to St. Peter, ii, 1-4, “Whereby are given uuto us exceeding great and Preelous promises, that by these*you might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the werld through lust.” This text, when transiated correctly and slightly expanded, would read somewhat thus :— Christ by His power and holiness has given to us the greatest of promises, even promises that are exceedingly precious in order that by faith in them we might be itfted so high ip character as to share in likeness to God and 6o thereby be wholly delivered from that corruption and deaib which are in the world througd unrestrained and unregulaed desire, It is in many respects remarkable and almost unique, It is siugular a8 taking a line not unlike taat of the moralists oi the Stote schoo! a8 it speaks of partaking of the Divine natare as within the reach of man and asit describes (he evil that isin the world, corruption threagh lust or uncentrolied desire.

Universal Interest in the Subject. ELEVATED DESIGNS IN FAVOR Underground Bores Out of the Question. Sketch of Plaus, Past and Present—What the Engineers Sny. The question of rapid transit has been go thor- onghly canvassed and sifted within the past few yours that very little of a novel character re- Taains to be said about it, Im the early stages of the agitation for rapid transit, some ten years ago, the underground scheme was undoubtedly vhe popular one. London had an underground city railroad, and why not Now York? Iv was quite a long time before people could reconeile vhemselves to the contemplation of the abomina- tion, as It was then considered, of an elevated Toad, with trains running on a line with bedroom and drawing room windows and over the beads of bipeds and quadrupeds in the streets below. Finally it was demonsrated that, however ad- visable and convenient an underground medium of communteation between the ends of the island, the time and expense involved pur it beyond the Teach of capital, and without that desirable motor Do plan of railroadin New York city has wuch chance of becoming a realized fact. Later on, in the palmy days of the Ring, when the ringmasters seemed to carry about with them the lamp of Aladdin, rapid transit was near being a reality, but at a cost 80 appalitng that one pauses in won- Ger at the daring of the meu who had the temerity to attempt a scheme of guch vast pecuniary ex- pense, It 1s sare to estimate the cost or the Via- duct Ratlroad (for that was its name), lad it ever been put in construction, at $5,000,009 a mile, The plan contemplated pierciag the blocks on a | level with the second story of the houses ana | spanning the streets with stone bridges. The Gamage to reat‘eatate Would necessarily have been very great. The city, however, guaranteed the sam of $5,000,000, and as long as that Jasted the enterprise might bh: been sustained. Within the past eighteen months great attention has been given to the rapid transit question by all classes or people, Eighteen months ago the only earnest effort mada at Albapyion behall of giving the people of New York a quick way of travelling up and down the istand was by a stran- ger—Mr. Eastman, of Pougakeepsie, Taat waa deieated. THE ELEVATED 1DEA. Distinguished engineers have taken the subject in hand, and there seems a settled conclusion in the. minds of practical men that tue elevated rall- road, completely spanning the roadway of tne Street, is the only scheme that combines availa. bility, Strength, cheapness and the quality of be- tages ol ere, its comparative cheapness. cal be built in quick time, The shortness of the ang secures sud, strong structure, which fe more dificult to obtain where the pillars are placed on the curb lines, The uppér roadway ‘bein closed and Watertight, notulog can drop W iucommode or injure persons below. Another advantage claimed in this system over the plan of plsctag ‘posts on the curb line isin securing & lighter appearance and an open, unodstractea space of forty feet between tue bulliing line and readway, thus render! At Tess objectionable to occupants of bulldings along the line. Of course the Commissioners wil be DELUGED WITH PLANS; but tbey are practioal men, who, it is to be hoped, can pick out the wheat from the chaff with unerring instinct. They are not likely to come to @ conclusion without exhausting the whole sub- ject, and, as they en of irreproachable chars ‘acter and conatdei vullty, We may fairly look ior @ result that will satisfy the mass o! the peo- ple.
