NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, AUGUST 30, 1875.—TRIPLE THE LORD'S DAY. eee How the Metropolis Kept It Yesterday. THE RELIGION OF FEAR. Daniel Webster Quoted to Give Point to a Sermon GOD’S INTEREST IN SINNERS. A Methodist Miracle--A Cripple Made Whole Again. THE BRICK CHURCH. & SERMON ON THE KELIGION OF FFAR, Dr. Murray preached in the Brick Presbyterian eburch yesterday morning to a rather slim congrega- tion, from the text, St, Luke, chapter xii., verse 5--“But 1 will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, | say unto you, fear him.’’ These are Christ's words, and He was speaking, as He always did, that which He knew, and was testifying what He had seen. le knew what man had to fear; therefore His words were emphatic, The emphasis and solemnity of these words do not lie simply in the repetition, but also in the wneise statement of the ground of fear, The words yeom to be suggested by the fact that He saw so much ear of man aud so little fear of God. He everywhere jaw man cringing in fear of man and indif- ferent to God's retribution, We shall not see these words in their true light till we mee the teachings which follow. The next words are:—“‘Are uot five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? But tven the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; ye are of more value than many iparrows.”” Side by side stand His judicial power and His fatherly character. When the soul has feared Him who has power to cast into hell, it may trust Him who aumbers the hairs of your head. What sort of fear is it that is enjoined here? It isan important point to de- termime. The fear of God which is enjoined here is moreareverence. This is one form in which the fear of God exists; a simple apprehension of His greatness, a glimpse of His adorable majesty, are cmough in devout minds, The seuse of an infinite greatness above us composes and overshadows the soul. A right view of the character of God tends at once rer ad this feeling. Spiritual knowledge of God always brings this REVERENTIAL PRAR, 1 think nothing shocks a right mind more than an un- becoming familiarity with God in prayer or speech ; it certainly is taking God’s name in vain; from the be- pinning to the end of the Scriptures this reverence is ught. But the fear of God insisted on in the text is more than this; it may be defined as reverence raised jo its highest point, An ordinary view of divine power ls quite enough to keep a devout soul in reverence, but there come seasons when an extraordinary view is born into the soul—a storm atsea, an earthquake, may bo made the occasion of an inlet into the soul of divine reverence, and the heaft cries out for words of in- apiration ‘to unburden itself. So, too, there are occa- sions when there are manifestations of divme pres- ‘nce in the hearts of men, and the habitual ypverence of the soul is intensified into awe. The fear which the Saviour so strongly enforces is USSENTIALLY DIFVERENT trom both these types; it is sitaply the dread of God’s displeasure against sin; it is fear in its proper sense, for Jesus points us to "the fict that it is to be felt in view of God as having power to kill and cast into hell. Is it God revealed to us in the wonder of His wisdom and the majesty of His power that Christ bids us fear? There is no sin more prevalent in this day than the sin of presumption. It may well be questioned whether to-day we do not need a free! of fear more than a gozpel of love, There is only one check that can be put upon this jpitgumptlon ane fear of God's just dis- pleasure against sin. CHURCH OF OUR SAVIOUR. BERMON BY REV. J. H, HARTZEQL, D, D., ON ‘HONOR FOR SERVICE.” ‘The Church of Our Saviour (Universalist), corner of Fifty-seventh street and Eighth avenue, was well at- tended yesterday morning. The pulpit was occupied by the Rev. J. H. Hartzell, D. D., of Boston, who chose for his subject, “Honor for Service.” The text was taken from Matthew xx. , 26 and 27—‘Whosoever will be sreat among you, let him be your minister; and whoso- will be chief among you, let him be your servant.” History confirms the statement that the greatest of mankind have been the servants of the people. They have been men of talent and integrity and loyal to the principles of justice and humanity; they have been the servants of truth, the advocates of right, taking the people through the bitter conflict of error and preju- fice imto the road field of knowledge and liberty. The men who flourishgd in history and are cherished vy the people are those who have stripped themselves of all vanity and selfishnoss and have labored for the mlightenment and happiness of others, There is a spontaneous reverence in the heart for those who have dedicated their lives to the service of justice and humanity, when opposition and calumny, like unclean birds, filled the air. Let it then be said, to the credit and glory of humanity, that the brightest names on the historic page are of those men who by their labors elevated society, enriched civilization, and thus became the world’s benefactors, WHEN WE ARE GovE! It was this that choked the utterance of Macaulay when he arose on a certain occasion to address his friends. When we are gone! It was this that came with great weight upon the mind of Samuel Johnson as he struggied against the forces and shadows of dissolu- tion, looking Out anxiously into the future. When we are gone! bs pe this that came with startling effect ‘upon the hes of Robert Emmet when be made that eloquent appeal before the lords of England, climbing from the Weaifold into the heavens of renown, When we are gone! It was this that troubled the spirit of the Emperor Napoleon when he roamed in exile ‘pon his solitary island, thinking of the office of the historian and ‘the sepulchre, rushed in listening to the tempestuous waves as the; and broke upon the rucky beach. Oh, when we are gone, bow will our acts be scrutinized; how will our motives and principles be regardod; how will our feel- ings and characters be understood? Shall we be hon- ored for our integrity ad philanthropy, venerated for our honesty and liberality, cherished as workers and | helpers in the cause of human brotherhood? With these thoughts pressing upon the mind we should re- | solve to so live and work that when we are gone our | memories shall Je cherished, our characters venerated und’ our principles enacted,’ and many will rise at the hearthstone and in the arena, exalting our natures aud blessing our sympathies, and’ saying that we came not to be ministered unto, but to minister. Thi rvice which advances the interest of others always develops the highest qualities of the servant, In his effort to pronivte the welfare of others he is unfolding in an unconscious manner that regal Myture which gives him sovereign power, Borne on by an uncooling enthu- siasm im the vocation that is to aifect the condi- tion of society and the character of civilization, he begins to exhibit the genius or the virtue which commands not omly respect, but admiration. Swept on by an irresistible energy in the pur- suit of the artist, the inventor, the philanturo- pist, or the scientist, and while his service is euriching the period and exalting the individual and aclding thrilling chapters to history, he is tnding with- vut wny personal effort the avenues of glory and renown opening at his feet, Though he toils with the few, Veing in the advance line of the invincible corps, his heroic struggles against opposition aud poverty are CROWNED Wr SCOCRAS, and his work 18 a step leading into the golden period of which prophets have dreamed and poets have Let us resoive we will enter tuto all kindly offices, an assist mankind ju hives of purity aud in walks of useful- ness, Let us resolve we will Isbor to advance learning and religion, that mankind may be more vigorous in invellect and more beautiful in spirit. Weare inembers of soviety, and what we may do tor the elevation and encouragement of others will open fountains of inspira- tion and delight in oar owh bosoms. We should not live for ourselves slone when tho flowers bloom, the orchards bend, the harvests wave and the planets shine forall, Ifwe have the opportunity of reforming oue of redeeming one soul, of comforting one heart, of rying one tear, let us do it, and be thunkfal for the disposition, with hearts baptized anew with the spirit of that religion which rises above dogmatizin and reaches they for huwanity. Lot us enter into the service of God and man, and hasten the period of righteousness and fraternity. STANTON STREET BAPTIST CHURCH. A SERMON ON THE BREVITY OF LIVE. The Rev, Edwin T. Hiscox preached in this church yesterday on the “Brevity of Life.” His text was taken from the First Fpistie of St. Paul to the Corin- thians, vii. 29, 31—'But this I say, brethren, the timo {9 short; itremaineth * * * for the fashion of this world passeth aw: The preacher occupied @ few moments in rectifying the punctuation of the text and then dr the meaning of the word “fashion,” He u addressed himsell pe hg pepe eM iy x renetmon, Re broveee of iMfe, iad it down that trict pour over that truth would oe fir ee Oepreciation of the things of world; second, im better capacity for meetingand bearing the tolale of lite; third, in preventing death | from ene. us.

WHAT IS CHRISTIAN FAITH?—sERMON BY THE REV. J. M. LUDLOW, ‘Taking into consideration the fact that the fashionable people have not yet returned to town, there was quite a large congregation in attendance at the morning service yesterday in the Collegiate Dutch Reformed Church, corner of Forty-eighth street and Fifth avenue. The Rev. J. M. Ludlow, the pastor, preached the sermon. He took for his text St. Mark, ix., 23—“ Jesus said unto him, if thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.” Roscius, he said, whose fame had il- lumined two centuries, who was known'to, us not only as one of the first statesmen, philosophers and his- torians of his day, but as the ablest theologian of his time, to whom all students turn back to find out what he bas said by way of INTERPRETATION OF THE SCRIPTURES, when on his deathbed made the remark that he would gladly, if be could, exchange all his learning for the faith of his illiterate serving man, This incident sug- gested the question, What was Christian fuith! Lt was & something, he said, which the unlearned serving man had more fully than the master who had taught the centuries the Christian faith, Was Christian faith a full, intelligent conviction of the truths of Christianity, ora mere wilful trust in Christ? Was it the result of the amassing of evidence after intelligent inquiry, or a simple belief, with little or no reason—a mere “I be- liever” He said that it was neither the one nor the other, Unconverted mon often talked of the need of more evidence of ‘THE TRUTHS OP THK CHRISTIAN RELIGION, ofa something that would make them feel low and what to beheve. They desired the nerve of faith, more life in the form of belief, He sympathized, he said, with those who argued that it it was unreasonable that God has put heaven and hell before us—the one to be gained, the other to be avoided on the condition that we shall believe fully. They were right in putting the question in that torm. But the Church of Christ was not limbo of colors, Some nen were afraid to battle with their own duties, to face their own consciences, und contented themselves by saying “I believe,” and think no more about the matter, God’s Church was not A POORMOUSE VOR VAGABOND SPIRITS. Christian faith was an intelligent fuith, not u conviction of the tull evidence of all the truths of Christianity. It was a faith sufficient to lead to intelligent conviction. There was, indeed, a great difference between a wilful trusting and an intelligent trusting. If a man should read in the papers to-morrow that a vessel had been constructed so that it could go to Liverpool under water in ten hours, and that it had all the improvements of other vessels for ventilation and comfort, he would say that he knew nothing about it, but being ina hurry to fer to Liverpool he would take the risk of going over in That was an example of wilful, arbitrary trust, Just as some Christians say, “I know nothing for cer- tain about these truths, but I believe.” The Christian 4s able to give the reason for the faith that is in him, though he may not be able to BANISH EVERY DOUBT. He said there were probably not two persons who came to Calvary in the same way. Frederick Schlagel, the German philosopher and infidel, found a doubt tl Jed him to trust while making up a'secular criticism on certain works of the fathers of the Church, Another prominent man was led to conviction by the single thought, “How pure is the character of Jesus—He could not deceive, so 1 will stake my soul’s salvation on Lit word,’ Another was brought to Christianity bi ing the evidences of Christian faith and taking them as a whole as trae—just as a naval officer who gets written instructions from the Navy Department, and, after find- ing the seal and signature Yon tho doctinent all right, yuts his vessel about to obey the orders he has received. le has sufticient betief as an intelligent man that the seal and signature are correct. CHURCH OF THE MESSIAH. “WHAT WE SHALL BE."—SERMON BY THE REY. W. T. CLARKE. At the Church of the Messiah, corner of Park avenue and Thirty-fourth street, the sermon yesterday morn- ing was preached by the Rev. W. T. Clarke, who took his text from the first letter of John, third chapter, and proceeded to discourse on “What we shall be.” ‘The faith that we can succeed and the hope that we shall do so, are the pleasures of life, Ifwe knew that the victory was sure it would take away from the pleasure of the struggle. It is a mercy that the curtain is dropped before our eyes, lest we might see the future. ‘There is no single thing that proves our immortality, but there are a thousand considerations which point to the conclusion. The creation of a being like man in- volves greater difficulties to the mind’s contemplation than the belief in the continuation of our existence. It is not certain knowledge of the next life, but faith enough that makes this life joyous. Itis hope that gladdens, saves and pioneers the soul on its upward way. Give us hope and we shall conquer. The placo we go to is of little consequence compared to the character we bring with us. Wherever the criminal dwells there is a peni- tentiary. The mother who hears of an absent son sur- rounded with pomp in a foreign land heeds not the riches, but inquires what sort of @ life he is leading. Colonize heaven with the sensual and the vile and they would make a hell of it, Send the virtuous to perdition and they would make of ita place of peace. The idea of current religion is that only the few are good and that the majority are gradually sinking. Every incul- cation of Jesus is that goodness shall triamph and that in every soul it shall prevail at last. What we call per- dition “is only the road to paradise. An infinity gf God's love pervades the universe. The worst of us that hves is the brother of him who thinks | he is holier than the nt mortals around him. Hereafter we shall be physically disembodied and re- +leased from the flesh, We know not what spirit is. But we know tees we shall be free from this imprison- ment of clay; that we shall be free to enjoy every noble aspiration. We shall also be rid of every surrounding circumstance that helps to drag us down. We are in- debted to accident for what we are, In going to the Jower wards of this city we do not wonder that there is | so much crime there, but that there is so much virtue andjoy, It makesa great différence whether one is born in a Five Points attic ora Fitth avenue mansion. Between we call the saved and the lost there was at first but a circumstance. We look forward to the time when every soul will be surrounded with congenial sympathy, We look forward to heaven to tind a home where everything is more perfect, where every circumstance conspires to ¢ us supremely happy. We also look to the next world to have all our faculties completely developed. Man is better and more beauti- ful than he knows, and those faculties for which we have no use here and which lie dormant will all shine forth in the world to come. In mesmerism, clairvoy- ance and the phenomena of spiritualism are clements which may be elucidated, If these phenomena are now unintelligible natural faculties, then there is no scope for the human mind were it only developed, We are what wo may be. Most men do not care to make them- selves anything. Itis here that the endeavor to make ourselves what we shall be should begin, for here is Jaid the foundation of the character we are to bear for eternity, Though we do not know what we shall be hereafter, still every generous thought, every noble deed, every lofty aspiration, helps to make us what we want to be in the life to come. UNIVERSITY PLACE CHURCH. SERMON BY REY. PROFESSOR GRIFFIN, OF WIL- LIAMS COLLEGE, The Rev. Professor Grifflu, of Williams College, preached here yesterday morning in place of the regular pastor, Rev. Dr, Booth, taking his text from Psalms, | Ixxii., 21—“The prayers of David, the son of Jesse, are | | ended.” The reverend gentlemen said:—There are sev- eral striking instances in the history of the Church of persons who have by their writings illustrated deep devo- tion, This is particularly the case in the early history of the Church, The confessions of St. Augustine illustrate | the extraordinary nature of the religious tendency of this man, and in them wo find adepth of thought fer- vid, sincere, unsurpassably earnest, Again, im such ‘men as Gregory and Ambrose we find this same spirit | illustrated, and to-day we sing the self-same songs of praise written by these men in the vory first ages. We have not been able to surpass them in these outpour- ings of praise, To-day we see the “Imitation of Jesus,” the “Pilgrim's Progress.” How strong these yare in devotion and Christian charity, The piety of these carly churchmen and the mass of devotional | aspiration are moro than tho mere doctrine of faith | whieh we justly regard. Tho best way for us to con- sider the Psaima is that indieated inthe text, They are the record of a human life, of an eventful experi- ence, They come now to us as works of singular beauty and great power. When we look over them we are led to consider the religious nature of David as in- dicated in bis prayers, and they show usa manhood like ours, conflicting in itself and feeling its own little- | ness, It was vaid by Daniel Webster that the only thing | whieh shook his faith im divine things was his own utter bs a9” “Lord, what is man?’ as David said, It is not to be supposed that this was | a religious feeling, But it the instinct of reason, what one may have felt even as a consequence of his religious life, Ibave thought that it was not in itself religious, but still it was a natural foundation of | devotional life and it no doubt enters ito the experi- ence of every man. As the me are written we can see apportioned the dark and painful gides of hu. man life. No one can bat seo there is something ag ly fm them, and hy it they appeal more strongly to ‘The gay and humorous in literature we will enjoy ai ag it our appreciation, But the ‘those | for a cure?” she asked. for Whom we find our own ht are remem appeal to the graver and more serious aspect of our matures, which are the most last- ing. Remember these psalms were composed in a dark and barbarous age, when the worst feelings were those which most governed men ; when the moral feelings were in the first stages of development and the nature of man Was just beginning to be subject to the higher emo- tions. Spite ofall this, nothing in these times, nothing im the writing of U prophets, has equalléd these writings of David. When we go’ for the choicest ex- pressions of human feeling we must go to the Psalms of David. CHURCH OF THE NEW JERUSALEM. ‘The services at this church yesterday were in accord with the worship of the Swedenborgian sect, ‘They con- sisted of the prayers used in the church, and of the singing of hymns appropriate to their ideas of worship. The musi¢ was solemn and beautifully rendered, the en- tire congregation, which was large, joining in the sing- ing. The minister, Rey, Charles 'f, Olmstead, read several impressive passages from the Bible, and com- mented upon them for the editication of his he He spoke of the tact that the souls of men were made tobe suved and notto be lost, and he begged that tose within the sound of his voice would hearken unto the words le spoke and prepare for the end that must certainly come.

In answer to the many applications personally and by letter for the particulars of his recent cure of lame- ness, Rev, S, H, Platt last evening gave the story of his cure, as he bas prepared it for a pamphlet to be issued ina few days, The substance of the story is as fol- lows :— In March, 1850, just previous to the beginning of his ministerial life and entrance upon his pastorate, he received a kick from a horse, which s0 injured his left leg that a floating cartilage formed, and for five years he used cane andacrutch to limp about with. His sufferings were indescribable, and yet he preached twice each Sabbath. After five years, however, he was en- abled to dispense with the crutch, but he still held on to his cane. He had never been ,able during the quar, ter of wcentury intervening until his recent cure to kneel on that knee, because of its sensitiveness to swell on the least pressure and the intense pain which it gave. Thus he continued for six years longer, when a strain of this lmb caused him to be confined ten months to his house, and never since has he been able to walk more than half mile without a cane. In 1866 a full on that knee laid him up three months more, and from early in the fall until Jate in the spring he has had to keep it carefully and heavily covered, so sensitive to cold has it been. In July, 1872, Mr. Platt struck his right knee against a dry goods box while walling out in Bridgeport im the dark. This laid him on his back four months, and the doctors could do little or nothing for him, The same symptoms appeared in this as in the leg, and since that time he has never been able to preach standing. His previous experience with a crutch, how- ever, prevented him from taking to that again, but he substituted another cane, and he has continued to use two ever since. Had it not been for the kindness of the First Methodist Episcopal church of Bridgeport, in keeping him as their pastor, and DeKalb avenue church, Brooklyn, in receiving him and retaining him as they have done with these disabilities, he would not be in the ministry to-day, Not being able to stand, he has usually sat to preach until a few weeks ago, PAITH AND UNDELIEP, In the winter of 1874 sciatic pains were frequent and severe, These increased so greatly during that year and the present that he gave up all hope of ever becoming free from them. It seemed to him that for whatever work the Lord had for him He wanted him to be lame, and so he never really and faithfully prayed for cure. By reason of this double lameness he could rarely at- tempt a walk of more than two or three blocks at « time. December 11, 1872, while visiting the Home for Incurubles, in Boston, Dr. Cuilis, the Superintendent, related to him a great many instances of faith cures, but he did not pet very much faith in them. To him they were more the cures of the imagination than of faith. However, Dr. Cullis encouraged him to trust in God for’ whatever might be the issue, and, kneeling down, the Doctor prayed and laid his hands on Mr, Piatt's knees, and he felt a sensation of strength coming downward to his limbs, He was able to walk to his hotel, however, without the aid of his canes. But over-oxertjon and lack of faith afterward brought on the old trouble again. In June of the present year Elder Miles Grant, a friend of his school days, spent a short time with him in his parsonage in Brooklyn, und encouraged him greatly to hope that he should be some day healed. He did get as far in this hope as to believe that it was simply a question of ume with God, But even this hope seems to have faded away before the final cure came, On Sunday, July 18, he was so feeble that Le could not go from his cottage to the tabernacle in Ocean Grove to service, though the distance is very short. He remained at home and spent the time read- ing stories of remarkable cures by faith and prayer. His sciatic pains were so great he prayed to be relieved from them, and he became convinced that he should be cured some time. On the Wednesday following that Subbath sister Ainanda Sinith, a colored evangelist, de- livered an address in the Grove on temporal deliver. tances in answer to prayer. This address he was able to hear, and it seemed to be altogether for him. so that he was encouraged to believe that the time of his deliver- ance was drawing near, at Ocean Grove, und about six P. M. two ladies called at his cottage and introduced themselves to him as Miss Moseman and Mrs. Beach, They were strangers to him. He had never seen Miss Moseman before and has not se¢n her since, This lady stated her business at once, She said THE LORD HAD SENT HER TO Hue to tell him that he might be cured of his lameness if he would only believe. Mr. Platt answered that he did not doubt God’s power, but did His willingness, “Is He not willing to destroy the works of the devil?” asked the lady, ‘and is not disease His work?” ‘Not alway’ said Mr. Platt, and he quoted the case of the blind man tn the Gospel, concerning whom the Phari- wees inquired of Jesus who sinned, the blind man or his parents. But Miss Moseman beat him with his own cuse by quoting the Saviour’s reply. ‘Can you believe “If you can show me any in- timation that it is God's will I can,” the preacher re- sponded, ‘but I am confident that Tie wants me to be jame.”’ He asked her if she had ever been sent in this way before. She said she had. He asked then if she had ever been mistaken and failed, and she answered, jever."” pray for their recovery, and it hus done them little or no good. She then knelt before him and offered . a brief petition for the healing of his knees, on which ber hands were laid, A minute or two afterward he was conscious of a developing or toning upward ot his limbs, and in bis mental processes he believed for a cure and acted as if he were cured, Miss Moseman advised him not to go anywhere unless God sent him, and then he should have all tho strength he needed. As much from habit as anything else, he carried one ci with him after this event un- til two weeks ago, at Merrick camp meeting, when he felt impressed that he ought to lay thut aside also. And he did, and stood two hours to preach, and could have stood ‘two more, #0 far ax he felt any Weakness in his Knees. He now walks about, sometimes two miles at once, and stands to preach at every service; and though he bas had occasional pains, these are disappearing aud he strength of his hmbs seems to be increasing stead- ily, A letter received by bin from Miss Moseman a day or two ago tells him that three days before she called at his cottage she,felt impressed to pray for him aud had done so daily, and that while he was pre ig on the Sabbath the Lord told her to go and visit him thereaft as she did, Mr. Piatt and Miss Moseman both consi the case now as one of temporal healing in answer to | prayer. TOMPKINS AVENUE “CHURCH. INTEREST IN SINNERS—SERMON BE RIV. DR. PORTER, At the Tompkins avenue Congregational church, Brooklyn, yesterday morning, religious services were conducted by Rev. Dr. Porter, of the Methodist Book GoD | Concern, New York, who based his sermon on the eleventh verse of the thirty-third chapter of Kzekiel— “as L live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live; turn ye, turn ye trom your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel??? Dr, Porter ro- | marked substantially as follows:—When theso words were originally uttered they were designed to retute cer- tain calumnies to the effect that God was an enemy of ‘This was a truth proclaimed man’s, God was merciful. by His most illustrious prophets and in atter ages repeated by the aposties. Tho second intimation of the text was that there was w method of excape from death, It might be a matter of inquiry by some how this escape should be accomplished, It was in reality the simplest thing in the world, and was comprehended in the effort to taro from the error of one’s wieked ways, There | might be errors im our churches and religious institu. ti 4, but it was the man's effort to reach the standard that they set up that commended him to the Almighty. The prerequisites tu attain this end were honesty and mncerity, The third intimation of the text was that God's sole interest was iu the welfare of man, He calla The next Sunday he preached | But people have called upon her to ask her to | | 1.267 15 Py SHEET. upon the sinner to turn from his way, and even pleads with him almost in tearful tones, and in terms the most affectionate, Whatever we haye is from God. He is strength; we are weakness. Inasmuth as we are de- gad upon Hin it is a duty we owe to recognize Him all our doings, We cannot escape it, we must not avoid it, The experiences of every true Christian showed that there was safety in adopting obedience to. God. A COLORED “BUSH MEETING.” PORT WASHINGTON AND ROSLYN METHODISTS IN THE WOODS——-THE REASONABLENESS OF CHRIS- TIANITY FROM A COLORED PATRIARCH’S STAND- POINT. ‘The steamboat Seawanhaka took a pretty heavy cargo of passengers yesterday morning for the several points on the Sound between this city and Roslyn, where she regularly calls. Some went to enjoy lager and fun at College Point, and some cold water and religion at Sea Cliff, and all to become recuperated by the sail, though they could hardly bo sid to have rested very much, judging from the tired. and jaded condition in which very many of them appeared on their return, A goodly number debarked at Sands’ Point and took stages to Port Washington, at the end of Cow Bay, a few miles beyond which point was a colored Methodist bush meet- ing—that is, a camp meeting without the dwelling tents. A large boarding tent was pitched in an apple orchard, on @ beautiful hill, at a place called Highland Valley, and here tor three days the colored people of Roslyn, Port Washington and neighboring villages have gathered to hold religious services and to eat sandwiches and water melons by day, retiring at night to their homes or such hospitable quarters as they could find noer by. Friday and Saturday were of little account, but yesterday was their fleld day, and their biggest guns were trotted out. Indeed the after- noon service yesterday was the only one of any conse- quence. Then @ patriarch from Roslyn held forth, He had a good pair of lungs, and could make himself heard very readily over the ground, Like most of the out-door religious gatherings this year, this colored bush meeting was not a success. ‘There were compara- tively few colored people present, and those who were were more intent on making money by vending eata- bles and drinks than attending the ministry of their brethren. The larger part of the afternoon con- gregation were white people, who came in wagons and on foot from the surrounding farms and villages. Perhaps 400 or 500 altogether is as many as were on the ground at any time, The venerable preacher gave out a hymn and read it through, and then interlined each verse, leading the singers “to the use of common metre,” The metre was so “common,” indeed, that halt a dozen hymns sung by them while the writer was present were put to the same tune, and that was ren- dered chiefly by twoyoung men and an aged disciple. ‘The time was measured by the waving of the bodies as they sung. After a prayer the choir started one of their own songs, with which the colored people present seemed to be more familiar and joined in heartily. Its burden was that fathers and mothers and brothers and sisters were crying aloud to Jesus to take them. IN THE LIFEBOAT. When this song was finished the preacher shouted out to the money makers at the tent to shut up shop and come and hear him, though he very naively added they were very much in need of money, and if one son could be left there money making ‘and Gospel hearing could be very nicely combined, His text was Acts, iv., 11 and 12—“This is the stone that was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” These words, said the preacher, are a sermon in themselves, and you can’t get over it no way, Casting a sid nce toward the tent the old gentleman saw that his advice had not been taken, and again, with a peculiar emphasis on the = cg intended to prepare the congregation in time for the collection, he shouted, “Please close your tents there! ‘Though we want the money, as I told you a while ago, we must have order and attention here, and your noise disturbs me!’’ This was put in as much for the benetit of a knot of white men, from Port Washington, who were standing discussing the foul murder of Captain Lawrence in that vicinity on Friday as for any others. Then, with a quiet smile, the old man added, philoso- Livetead “We'll live till we die, any way.’’ ming ia discourse, he said:—In the Scriptures of divine truth we have the word of God shadowed out to us under many forms, all representing a spiritual idea. Here it isa stone. The theme that he found in the text was that the Christian religion is a reasonable religion. There are religions that are not reasonable; but the Christian religion is, and that we shall make to ap] to this intelligent ‘congregation. And, second, if have time we'll show the incapability of men and women sitting in Judgment on the evidences of experimental revelation, of which they know nothing. If we under- take to recommend or to condemn anything, should wo not have some knowledge of the facts about Is not that reasonable? Isn't it common sense? He then went on to demonstrate THE REASONABLENESS OF CHRISTIANITY by showing how little children have received it in the nursery, tnoper ones in the Sunday schools and some very bad folk, like himself when he was a young man, in bush or camp meetings. In a camp meeting 100 miles from the place Where he was standing, he said, he re- ceived this religion, and he was led to the Saviour by a man of small stature. And when that camp meeting was over he went to another, and he has been going to them ever since for more than half a century. This re- ligion is good to live by and it ts good to die by. There is nothing on earth like man, There is nothing like the intelligent structure of man, which is designed to bring everything into subjection to him, David says he is fearfully and wonderfully made, think, if you have read physiology, you will be ees to say man is fearfully and wonderiully made. Look at the circulation of blood in man, and isn’t he fearfully and wonderfully made?’ Certainly he is. 80 that we have made that point and will pass on. Daniel says he saw a stone cut out of the mountain without hands Brethren, can't you pray that this stone that Daniel saw may roll against the dumb gods at Port Washington as it rolled against the dumb gods that Daniel saw in his vision and destroy them? Men have been trying in the name of these gods for a number of years ‘to kill our God. Tom Paine tried it; but where is he? We must Jook for him in the great abyss. Voltaire tried it; but, reat God, where is Voltaire to-day? He is gone too. on opposers of our religion, I tell you, you might as well stop now as at any time, You don’t live long enough to finish a job like this or to do our cause any harm. How, then, I ask again, can @ man sit in judgment on a revelation ‘about which he nows nothing? I think I have that | point settled, We have got the living evidences of our holy religion to-day, and if all the people on’ this American continent were in pos- session of this religion we should not need any more State prisons or penitentiaries, And, I tell you, white folks, who have come here from the city to hear what | these babblers have to say, you had better get this religion, ‘The old man went on still demonstrating his points in his quaint way and with every point raising the enthusiasm of his colored hearers to the shoating and shaking pitch, so that when the service closed they were not so ready to run tothe tent to make moucy they had been.
