8 GOTHAM AT PRAYERS Only a Slow Refilling of the Churches. Our Pious People Prolonging Their Sojourn Out of Town. The Jubilee Proclaimed in Brooklyn. Rev. Dr. Fulton’s Eulogy of an Earnest Evangelist. ST. THOMAS’ CHURCH. SEBMON BY REV. MYTTON MAURY ON SPIRITUAL STRENGTH ILLUSTRATED. With the falling of the leaves the birds of fashion wing their flight back to the city, and nowhere was this fact better demonstrated than at St. Thomas’ church in Fifth avenue. Not the least attractive por- tion of the service in this magnificent temple is the music, which is under the direction of Mr. George William Warren. ‘The programme yesterday was splendidly rendered and reflected the greatest credit, notonly on the choir but their indefatigable leader. The musical portion consisted of the following se- fections:—Processional hymn, “Forever with the Lord,” Scheuman; “Te Deum Jubilate,” anthems in F by Kotzschman and Thomas; introit, “Lord, forever at thy side,” Blumenthal; kyrie, “Gloria Tibi,” in C, Schubert; hymn, ‘‘Ouward, Christian Sdldier,” Sulli- van; “‘Ascriptur Gloria’? Gregorian offertory chant; collect, George William Warren; recessional, “Come, puro hearts,” Cutler. The soloists were Mrs. Gulager, soprano; Miss Lehman, contralto; Mr. Wilkie, tenor; Mr. Wickes, basso; Mr. Toulnier, harpist and beli- ringer; George William Warren, organist and director; P A. Schnecker, assistant organist, and twenty-five voices in the chorus. THE SERMON. The pulpit was occupied yesterday by the Rev. Mytton Maury, who is in charge during the absence of Dr. Morgan in Europe. The subject of the discourse was spiritual strength, illustrated by St. Paul’s work at Ephesus, the text being taken from Ephesians, iil. rt of fourteenth and sixteenth verses—‘‘For this cause bow my knees unto the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, that he would grant you to be strength- ened with might by his spirit in the mner man.” What the apostle then desired for his Ephesian converts would be best understood by them from what had oc- varred under their own observation during the sojourn of St Paul in their city. Nowhere, perhaps, did his heroic endurance and restless energy stand forth in | bolder relief. In the First Epistle to the Corinthians he writes that he purposes to remain until Pentecost in Ephesus, because a great door had been opened to him, although, he pertinently adds, there are many adversa- ries, Naturally HIS OPPONENTS WERE OF TWO CLASSES, Jews and Gentiles. Ephesus was in the days of the apostle the most important commercial city on the nores of Asia Minor. At the present time, indeed, to aitest its once princely magnificence, the Emperor Justinian ts said to have taken a portion of the stones that composed its stately edifices to beautify the city of Constantinople. Some of the columns of the Temple of Diana were placed in what was originally the church, but has been since the Mohammedan conquest and is now the Mosque of St. Sophia. As in every ancient and modern commercial city of importance, so in Ephesus, we find a numerous colony of Jews, To them, in accor- dance with the command of our Lord, St. Paul on his rival in the city first addressed himself, And many 1d fierce were the disputes he had with them in the synagogue. ‘The second class of those many ad- versaries against whom the apostle had to contend, were the Greeks—their superstitions and their idola- tries, No inconsiderable number of persons derived their maintenance from the making and selling of idols, The apostle found some of his most determined antag. onists among such artisans. It will at once be remem- bered bow readily Demetrius, the silversmith, stirred up the people at large and this class in particular, when he expounded to them the secret of the extraordinary depression which had befallen their trade during the sojourn of the apostle. He called them together and stated how not alone at Ephesus but almost throughout Asia this Paul “hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that there be no gods which are made with hands, so that not only thas our eraft is in danger tobe set at naught, but also thatthe temple of the | great goddess Piana should be despised and her magnificence showld be troyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippet The shrinemongers were fail of wrath, the whole population was in an uproar. All the multitude for the space of two hours made the sity echo with the cry. “Great is Diana of the Ephe- sians!”” In the midst of their opposition how perilous, but yet how grand the position of the apostle. Two Jong years in words of ‘passing energy and unilinch- ing boldness he asserts, ‘This ye know, that no whore- monger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man hath aay inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. | Let no man deceive you with vain words, for because of | these things cometh the wrath of God ‘upon the chil- dren of disobedience.” But none of these persecn- tions of a faithful ambassador of Jesus Christ. apostle, may we, my bre be strengthened with might by Jesus Christ's spirit in the inner man. Like him may we do and endure us seeing Him who is invisible. FIFTH AVENUE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. NECESSITY OF UNPREJUDICED SCRUTINY OF THE SCRIPTURES—SERMON BY REY. JOHN HALL. The crowd of worshippers that filled the Fifth ave- nue Presbyterian church to overtlowing yesterday, on the occasion of the Rey. John Hall's first sermon since his return from his vacation, reminded one strongly of the crush at Plymouth church in Brooklyn in its paimiest days. The reverend preacher, who appeared to be greatly invigorated by his rural sojourn, selected as the theme of his discourse the popular mis- readings of the Bible. THE STRUGGLE WITH TEMPTATION. At the opening of the Book of Genesis, of the Old Testament, we have an episode of the temptation of the devil, and the same thing meets us at the opening of the New Testament with regard to Jesus. They afford striking iliustrations of the constant, the never- teasing struggle with the evil—with the devil, On tne tide of the devil we always meet sophistry—on the side of Jesus simplicity. life. Vice has alwaye many reasons ; virtue has always lew, Tt is demonstrated in the temptations of the fevil, for which he 1s always able to suggest many Teasons. Like ‘THE BEST GUIDE OF LIFE. The word of the Lord is sufficient to give us the rule pf life without any subtle reasoning. But, from the cunning of the devil, this guide which the Lord has given us in the Scriptures may easily mislead us. We may easily misinterpret and misread. In proportion to the authority which men attach to the Bible will be the unning with whom some people will use specious Bible readings to lure us to destruction, just as fraudulent money-making schemes are skilfully advertised under the very «gis of religion in the religious newspaper, But how are we to read the Bible aright? By carefully and sincerely comparing Seripture with Scripiure. NECESSITY OF COMYAKISON, When aman takes up the Bible with any prejudice and disregard of the Lord and tries to contort its read- Inge into coniirmation of hix own erroneous course no eomparison can, of course, avail him, for tiis deter- mined prejudice will prevent all appreciation of the truth as revealed by God. An idea is frequently betver presented by examples, and let me give you some of ulewe. presented, for instance, as “unknow- able.” and there are people who claim on this ground that faith in Him is prepow: yerous. Bat when we turn to the Gospel we tind that we can know God in our hearts as our Father, that He hears our cry, that we can know Him in Curist, and that we can look to Him and say, “Our Father, who art in heaven.” ‘Ihere is a difference between knowing ahd knowing fully. We can know God, bat being finite 8 we cannot fully know Him who is infinite. We cin kuow the ocean, we can bathe in it, we can hold a tiny portion of it in our hands; but yet we cannot pene- trate all its recesse We can apprehend God, though ‘we cannot comprehend hii. TAK UNITY OF THE GODHEAD. Another allegation js in regard to the unity of God. “There is only one God." This statement is tortured Into a negation of Christ. But we find on examination that the same titles and attributes are given to the Son apd the Holy Ghost. It is true that there is only one Gi Jehovah; but that Jehovab, in his inscrutable mystery, | js Father, Son and Holy Ghost. We know much of Christ’s personal history. We ww of His mother, of His sufferings, of His death on cross, We read in the Gospel, “Before Abraham was lam,” &e., and by comparing the Scriptures in titis manner we find an affirmation of the true human- ty of tue Lord. ‘THE SUPREMACY OF GoD. « It is expressly told us that all things are determined by God, Now this idea is sometimes tortured into fa- talism. “People say :—“Well, God determines all things; thore’s no need of exerting my own will or en ergy.” Others torture it into pantheism. God is everywhere, they say; He is in the blade of grass ia the breath of wind; in the murderer as wel inthe saint. This. is the truth, When we compare the Scriptures we have a grave re- moved him so long as he finished his course with | ren, in this our Ephesus, © We seo this in everyday | SEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1875.-TRIPLE SHEET. spon: ; that If we sin it is because we love sin; if we perish it'js because of our depravity and because of our disregard of God's word. Ail people should know that wheo they sm it is out of their own choice and with their own Fesponsibility. DIVINE FORGIVENESS, God’s assurances of forgiveness are also misread. Poople say:—“Oh, this thing is past praying for.”” And | yet Christ is there still, ready to intercede for the sin- ner with the Father. The full and free forgiveness of the Father is made dependent only upou true penitence and contrition, THR SINLESSNESS OF THE BELIEVER. It is stated in the Scriptures that there is an absolute | contrariety between the believer and sin. “‘Ah,’’ some People say, here se an sanertion of the absalute sin- | jeasness of the believer!” Ah, but it 1s written “Waich and pray,” and that every man is weak and | erring. You might as well gay that no American | citizen could be a royalist, He would not be 80 logically, it is true, and when he is he goes against the very first prineiple of his nationality, just as the man “porn of God" could not logically ‘be a sinner, and when he is so acts against the very first laws of his con- fession and faith, The reverend preacher addressed other similar illus- trations to demonstrate that an unprejudiced scrutiny of the Bible would always reveal the truth, ST. BERNARD'S CHURCH. THE DEVOTION OF THE FORTY HOURS—SERMON BY FATHER O’KELLY. The forty hours’ devotion commenced yesterday morning at St, Bernard’s Roman Catholic church, Four- twenth street, between Eighth and Ninth avenues, This chureh is of cosmopolite architecture, and its interior is ‘a perfect gem of decoration; nothing gaudy, but all the colors so eveuly blended as to give the effect of extreme harmony and beauty. There is no chureh in New York that can compare in wsthetic eflects with St. Bernard’s. ‘The Gothic arches and stained glass windows, through which the summer light streams in modilled rays that fill the hearts of the worshippers with a piety to which art itself contribates its stimulant, and which is not alto- gether lost in its purpose of exciting devotion, are not the least of its captivations, Father Reynolds, of Pitts- burg, was celebrant of the solemn high mass; Father Healy, deavon; Father Riordan, sub-deacon. Father ly preached on the devotion of the forty Hours, and said that of all the devotions of the Catholic Swurch this was the most beautiful. He deseribed the in of the devotion, and brought his hearers back to TIME OF ST, CITARLES BORROMEO, who instituted the forty hours’ devotion to make reparation to Jesus in the blessed sacrament for the many sins commitied during the time of the carnival. He then went on to deseribe the origin of the carnival; first, when it was a pagan celebration, and afterward how the same custom was tolerated When the pagans Decame Christians. This forty hours’ celepration sug- gested two important events—the Last Supper and the death of our Divine Lord; the first event embracing the institution of — the | Diessed sacrament, and the latter the sacritice on Mount Calvary. The purpose of the forty hours? adoration was eloquently explained by the preacher, and he ciosed his discourse by exhorting his hearers to take advantage of this devotion; to make reparation for their sins, and to seek the grace allorded by the sacrament of PENANCE AND COMMUNION, to become more fervent Christians and devoted soldiers of Jesus Christ. ‘Afler mass a procession was formed, consisting of a multitude of little girls, dressed in white, scattering fragrant flowers in the route of the blessed sacrament procession. Pry number of boys, dressed in cassocks of white purple and red, responded to the celebrant inthe different stages of the service, and the Litany of Saints was answered in a voice that, from the multitude of throats, ‘was seemingly as if from an individual organ, The de- Yotion will close on Tuesday morning with high mass. JOHN STREET. M. E. CHURCH. GOD'S DEALING WITH MAN—SERMON BY REY. W. H. DE PUY. ‘The Rev. W. H. De Puy, D. D., assistant editor of the Christian Advocate, and former pastor of the John street Methodist church, preached in that church yes- | terday toa crowded congregation. He ‘chose for his text the first chapter of James and the twenty-fifth verse, which reads as follows:—‘But whoso looketh unto the perfect law of liberty and continueth therein, ! he being not a forgetful hearer, this man shall be blessed in his deeds.” Let me call your attention, said the preacher, to some instances of God’s dealing with man. | Itis known that man’s greatest happiness is always when he does good, You all remember how Namaan was cured by the waters of the Jordan, after consent- ing to throw himself upon God’s mercy. Then from the Old we come to the New Testament, to the day of Pentecost, when the Saviour passed heavenward, | leaving mankind to know that faith without works was useless, and that if the divine law was carried ont, “man shall be blessed in his deeds.” My brethren, a doer of the work may be blessed sooner or later; no time is fixed, but the blessing is certain.

At. its conclusion he invited the audience to come forward, but no one re- sponded.

Little by little the people came for- | ward, and the whole church was filled as it were with |" que FLOOD GATES OF THE WATER OF LIPR, and the greatest enthusiasm prevailed. That preacher's name is a glory in the land, not on account of his preaching, but On account of his being able to bring sinners to'the footstool of the heavenly grace. The | late Dr. Carlton told mé when preaching as presiding | elder in a new school house he was interrupted four | times by an Englishman, who requested him after his sermon, first, to ask those present to make open pro- fession ‘of their faith in Christ; secondly, to have them enrolled; thirdly, to put the new adherents on probation, and fourthly, to appoint a class leader and to | appoint days of meeiing. He spoke in the highest | terms of that man’s energetic Christianity. MOODY AND SANKEY. The great power of Moody and Sankey, said the preacher, lies in their energy and simplicity.’ They are noble workers in the cause of Christ, and are destined, I believe, to accomplish a great work in this land, prob: ably as great as they accomplished in Great Britain. Here in this old church, brethren, let us be hard workers and let us never forget the need we have of I remember in Buffalo a man who, | after great delay, consented to come forward before the church and acknowledge God, and when he did so, and promised to be a worker in the Lord’s | and finally Christ came among them and told them | cast their net on the other side and they would fi , God to be | watchful and full of Christian virtue. vineyard, the church was then filled with the baptism, and many praised God and promised to try and lea | pure lives.

A collection of upward of $200 was then taken up, and after the singing of the doxology, the congrega- tion dispersed. CHURCH OF THE HOLY TRINITY. THE NARROW PATHWAY TO HEAVEN—-SEBMON BY THE REV. MORRIS A. TYNG. This handsome edifice was well filled yesterday, the weather being everything that could be desired. The services which commenced at half-past ten o'clock and which were very impressive throughout, were con- | ducted by the Rey. Morris A. Tyng. Not the least tractive feature was the excollent music, performed under the direction of Mr. 8. P. Warren, the organist, who has undoubtedly surrounded himself with talented | artists and well-disciplined chorus, The several selec- tions were rendered with a finish worthy high com- mendation, Mr. W. A. Sohst’s splendia baritone voice was heard to advantage at intervals, as were also the well-directed efforts of the other soloists. The Rev, Mr. Tyng took his text for the sermon from the Gospel according to St. Luke, xi, 23, 24—"Then swid one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? | And he said unto them, ‘Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, 1 say unto you, will seek to | enter in and shail not be able.’ The reverend gentle. | man proceeded at sone length to give a lucid and com- prehensive oxplanation of the text, showing that the Lord had clearly ed out the work which mankind was to perform in order to realize the great and sole mm of his creation, It was evident that the road to the oternai home was narrow and required care and watchiuiness to passthrough it It was something similar to the ve of aship; turn to the right or Jeft it made jittle difference, but the course must be n ded, It made little dif had been pleasant it the ve rence whether the voyage was going to be wrecked at the entrance to the harbor.

A. | M, LOUTREL. | A large number of people gathered at Plimpton Hall yesterday to hear the Rev. Alfred M. Loutrel preach on the above subject. The text was from St, John, xiv., 1 “Let not your heart be troubled,” ‘These words Jesus spoke to his disciples when He thought they were dis- couraged at His approaching departure, He wished to cheer their hearts and let them know that Ho would be | with them the same as always, nest, | ing love and mercy. no man need to be discouraged. He always had Christ to rely upon, and His blessed words shall always be resent with us. He then spoke of Christ’s visit to the shormen, The men, said the minister, had fished all day and caught nothing; they were badiy discouraged, fish in abundance. They did so and the haul was so great that they broke their nets. Christ afterward made these fishermen fishers of men. He taught the hot to be discouraged, but to trust in Him. There w: not the least reason why any man on earth should be discouraged; he had Christ’s words always before his eyes:—Let not your heart be troubled.” Christ offered | to all the sweetest consolation in affliction, and if we only trust in Him we need never be discouraged. He has said that He would help us, and invited us all when heavy laden to come unto Him and He would give us rest, With this blessed invitation before us let not our hearts be troubled, for in His ‘Father's house are many mansions.’ FIFTH AVENUE BAPTIST CHURCH. A DISCOURSE ON THE ELEMENTS OF SUCCESSFUL PRAYER. The cool weather has not yot brought back all the summer tourists, and Dr. Armitage’s usually well filled chureh had rather a scanty attendance yesterday. The reverend divine chose his text from Matthew, vii, 7 and 8—“‘Ask, and it shall be given you,” &c. He wont on to say that to ask, to seek and to knock are all Christian acts, to receive, to find and to open are all divine benefactions following those acts, but there are implied conditions upon which these benefactions are dispensed. There aro such things as asking and receiv- ing not, because we ask amiss, These consid- erations compel one to an analysis of suc, cessful prayer, Nothing is clearer than that a vus;, amount of prayer is unanswered and remains forever unanswered, Sometimes God answers our prayers by refusing them, because He knows that granting them would be a curse, and He won’t curse. Sometimes we offer prayer that has no sort of meaning, and nothing on earth would surprise and confound us as much as to have them answered. Sometimes we are ata loss to account for the fact that prayer is not answered, and it is because we have a wrong impression of this passage and other similar ones. This text is of itself an un. equivocal assertion, and many minds haye endured sore trial because it seems to have failed, “Ask, and ye shall receive.” They have asked and have not re- consider ceiv Such persons should stop to that the text is not the whole law of prayer, that the law of petition must imply moro than the mere act of asking, consequently you must take the whole law of prayer into account.” Some of the essential elements of the prayer which asks aright and which is answered are, first, we must ask intel ligently. In the letter to the Corinthians, Paul says : “Twill pray will pray with the understanding also.” ‘To pray with the understanding is the stoutest safeguard against de- lusion, With the spirit a man may be deluded, but blend understanding and spirit together and you haye successful prayer. Can you think of a more unscrip- tural maxim than “‘Ignorance is the mother of deyo- tion?” We too often lose sight of the fact that the ser vieo of prayer isa reasonable service, A man with a swnall mind can offer prayer as successfully as a man with a large intellect. A man must offer prayer with the highest range of that intellect; without this there would be great danger of indulgence in latitude of ex- pression—sometimes an unwarrantable familiarity that | degrades the man himself, because in refusing to acknowledge an intellectual God he degrades himself, What is the result of understanding m prayer? First of all, it secures deliberateness; there is a calling in of all the qualities of mind suitable for a reverential pos- ture before the throne of God, Secondly, the use of the understanding in prayer secures comprehensiveness. I know of no exercise that produces such an effect as the sense of enlargement which a man secures in the service of prayer. True intelligent simplicity will bring you at once to the vital question, What do T need? A man who prays without ‘understanding will use fine language; this is also true m the use of dark and mysterious expressions in prayer; all such savor of praying in an unknown tongue, and ail who occupy the position of the unlearned cannot say “Amen.” No, my brethren; true intelligent simplicity is the element which you need to pray with understanding ; it will prevent all that is hurried or indecorous, and help you to ask so that you may receive, That is the first element of prayer. Successful prayer must be presented fervently. ‘The next eiement is faith. We must ask in faith, nothing | doubting, Prayer is the arrow and faith 1s the bow, and you might as well have no arrow in your quiver | ‘as no bow in your hand. Sometimes you are at a loss to know whether you have active faith in your prayer. Let me give you one or two signs by which you may judge. I think you may know whether you have ed with faith by the serene quiet of your spirit when you have closed. A man must answer his own prayer by acts of obedience or else God will never an- wer it, ‘And, lastly, you must ask perseveringly in order to succes, I think sometimes God does not an- swer prayers because he loves to listen to them. Delay in God and importunity in man are evidently intended to bring God and man together. These are the cle- ments of successful prayer. Use them, my brother, and succeed. THE SCOTCH PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. THE CHRISTIAN TRANSFIGURATION—SERMON BY THE REV. SAMUEL M. HAMILTON. Yesterday morning the Rev. Samuel M, Hamilton preached in the Scotch Presbyterian church, Four- teenth street, between Fifth and Sixth avenues, for tho first time since his late return from Europe. His text was taken from the Gospel according to St. Matthew, xvii., 8—“And when they had lifted up their eyes they saw no man, but Jesus only.’? “In the course of his sermon the eloquent preacher said that when Christ was transfigured before His peo- ple Moses and Elias the prophet talked with Him, They came as the representatives of the law and the prophets at the fect of the Mediator. This trans- | figuration was the most momentous event that had occurred in the world’s history. | Peter was the first to recover from surprise, and while he yet spoke a cloud passed over them, out of which came a yoice which said, “This is my beloved Son, in whom Iam well pleased.’’ Peter may have been dis- with the spirit’—that is right—“and I | | appointed when he found that the kingdom of heaven | | ‘was not yetat band.

TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY OF A DECEASED EVANGELIST. An eloquent and interesting sermon commemorative of the deceased revivalist, Rey. Charles G. Finney, D, D., late President of Oberlin College, was preached yesterday morning by Rev. Justin DP. Fulton, D. D., pastor of the Hanson place Baptist church, Brooklyn. Dr. Fulton chose as his text the words:—‘4 have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.” These words, said the speaker, coming froin the lips of the aged Finney, seemed to the inanner born, and no one would dispute his claim to their use, ‘They proved that there was in God's world a man who dared to fight the good fight, and truly he had gone to his reward, Never were such men needed so much as now, and in the period in Which | | the bestowal of aims, as ‘nothing 1s more worthy | HANSON PLACE BAPTIST CHURCH. | | Finney labored there was the same laxity of morals, He | hoped by bringing this example before his hearers there might be some who would follow it, Charles ¢ Finney went out of sight of friends and home and even heaven to “tinish bis course,” belonged to the Universalist Church, He was converted | at Adams, N. ¥., where he was a law student, Before his conversion he thought the Church was full of tric ery, He was an unbeliever.

When Finney went home he knelt down and prayed and for the first time he believed in God, He went down in the woods and prayed beside a boy, and the next night he went to prayer meeting and prayed there. From that evening Charles G, Finney was a good man, He forgot all the faults of Christians, He wond y one was as good as they were, and he sat down at the fect of Jesus and began his @ er. From that time he sown work. Born in Warren, Litchfield county, Coun., im 1792, and converted twenty-two years later, at the age of thirty he went to Rochester, where he labored six montha, Ha Weatimiw aureat campaun Ho juid 1 the young people When he was a young man he | | | the great revivalists, and having been present at | arise, would broad, deep foundations for a hard fight with the devil, and when God’s grace came he was ready to move on the enemy's works and win such a victory that God would be gloritied. After dealing with godless men in the Churel and shaking it to its very soundations he was prepared to preach to sinners. Tle effect of those sermons was appalling. the ruling of Jesus Christ bent mento the earth, In 1831 he preached in Rochester six months and 800 were converted. He preached there the last time in 1836, and the power of the meetings exceeded all others. it was during the winter of 1832-3 that he eame to New York to preach the Gospel, “He commenced in the ola Chatham Street Theatre, which was transformed into a chapel. Finally the Broadway Tabernacle and a Congregational church, of which he was pastor, were built; the,#ran- gelist was started, with Joshua Leavitt as editor, Then the Oberlin Seminary was formed, and he accepted the Professorship of Theology. He was President from 1855 to 1866. No man thought more deeply or pro- foundly, but he did not select a passage of Scriptures till he reached the pulpit. The preacher finally drew a vivid comparison between the life. and death of Ralston, the California banker, and that of Dr. Finney, and closed with a brilliant eulogy of the latter. MOODY AND SANKEY. SERMON BY THE REY. C. E, HARRIS, AT THE ALLEN STREET METHODIST CHURCH. A large congregation attended the Allen street Meth- odist church last evening to listen to a disquisition on the efforts of Messrs. Moody and Sankey abroad by the Rey, Charles EB. Harris, The interior of the build- ing has reeently been handsomety adorned, Altogether the services last evening were both impressive and inspiriting, The Rev. Mr. Harris arrived in New York on the same steamer that brought pack e several of their meetings was well qualified to speak of their performances in the cause of religion, Mr. Harris took his text from Acts, tii, 19—‘Repent ye there- fore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted ont, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.” ‘The reverend gentleman, after some prelitninary remarks on the text quoted, pro- eded to point out the manner in which Mr. Moody and Mr, Sankey bad accomplished their great religious work J.’ He remarked, for instance, that Mr, Moody possessed a great deal of prac and avoided doctrinal dise moreover, very illustrative and sympathetic, and had determined faith 1 his mission. In London alone 2,000,000 people heard him preach, — Beyond ques- tlon he had given a great stimulus to religion, But he entertained litte doubt that at the commencement of the movement Mr, Sankey contributed more to its success th His enunciation was perfect and his sty ging Was altogether suflicient to rouse any assemblage. Hetween the two religion recei impetus altogether unlooked tor Now the question m oy be successtul here? He thought they would be successful, though probably not to the same extent as they were in England, The same element that marked their success abroad might not act here. We are, he said, familiar with Mr. Moody's illustrative style of preaching, while the English people perhaps | were not. Again,’ we are familiar with Mr. Sankey’s style of singing. ‘He might venture to say that a mill- jon Sunday school children could repeat the words and join in almost any hymn that Mr, Sankey su Theso features, which Were unknown. in England, might modify ‘their successes here, but he believed that they were men called by God to doa noble work. In conclusion, the reverend gentleman committed the great revivalists and their work to God. He gave them his most unqualified approval, and offered a prayer for their success. The reverond preacher finally gave a glowing description of the departure of Messrs. Sankey and Moody from Liverpool. He said that on the dock from which thé tugboat was to convey the passengers to the steamer bound for New York 10,000 persons had formed ina hollow rectangle. As the’ two revivalists walked throngh the throng the people sung ‘Sweet By and By.” Altogether the scene was impressive in the extreme, The sermon was listened to with rapt atten- tion throughout.

THE SEASON OF PENANCE AND RECONCILIATION PROCLAIMED IN BROOKLYN—PASTORAL LETTER OF BISHOP LOUGHLIN—THE CHURCHES TO BE VISITED. It was not until yesterday that in Brooklyn, in the thirty-seven Catholic churches and chapels of that city, the Papal Jubilee notice was promulgated. The subjoined forcible and comprehensive pastoral letter of | the Right. Rev. John Longhlin, Bishop of the dio- cese, Was read at all the masses, defining the require- | ments essential to attaining the indulgences granted: Jobn, the grace of God and the appointment of the Holy'See Bishop of Brooklyn, to the clergy and faithful of the diocese of Brook! Venerable Brothren of the Clergy and Beloved Chil- dren of the Lait, It 1s already 1 that the Sovereign Pontiff, to whom the Son of ¢, Nan especial manner, the power of binding and loosening, with the as: that its exercise would be ratified’ in heaven, claime At ment of these glad tidings all should | and earnestly avail themselves of | and grace, this acceptable time, | tion, It is for the glory of God, for | our sanctitication and salvation and for that of the whole world. God has been, and he is daily, offended by sinners, and it is expected that during this holy sea- son they will endeayor to be reconciled to Him and ren- der Hi the honor and glory to which He is entitled, Itis expected that they will seriously consides their own interests and strive to appease the anger of God by humihation and mortification, and that, by fulfilling the conditions prescribed for the gaining of the jubilee, they will secure for themselves the remission of their sing and of the temporal and eternal punishment that | may be due to divine Justice on their account, ‘The conditions prescribed for the gaining of this in- dulgence are the following First—A contrite confession and a worthy commu- | nion. Children who haye not been admitted to their jirst communion may gain the indulgence by approach- | ing the sacrament of penance with proper dispositions, and by fullilling, as far as possible, the other condi: | snons. Second—Those who reside in the city must visit | once a for fifteen days, either consecutively or | otherwise, the Cathedral, St. Paul’s, the Church of the Assumption and St. Charles’, In ‘East’ New York the visits should be distributed between the two churches in that place. At other places the church is to be visited four umes a day for fifteen days. When, for any cause, it is impossible to make these visits, we authorize pastors and confessors to substitute either works of piety or religion or charity. Moreover, if after the commencement of this jubilee any persons having the intention of gaining it shall have been prevented by death from fultilling the prescribed number of v being truly penitent and having con- feesed their sins and received the holy communion, they shall partake in the aloresaid indulgence and re- mission just the same as if they had actually visited said clinrches on the preseribed days. Thrd—When making thege visits you will pray de- voutly for the prosperity and exaltation of the Catholic Chureh and the Apostolic See, for the extirpation of heresies, for the peace and unity of the whole Christian people, and according to the intention of the Holy Father. ‘The indulgence of this jubilee can be gained but once during this year of jubile, It may be applied by way of suffrage to the souls of those who, while united to God by charity, have quitted this world. Although almsgiving is not prescribed as_a condition of gaining the indulgence, the Holy Fasher recommends the season of works of charity be c usual,” Accorfingly the holy jubilee than that ail | ried out “with me al than } wish that boxes marked ‘“Jubi- lee Alms” be placed in 6 prominent place in the | varions churches of the city and that the amount de- posited be forwarded to us for distribution to the most needy mstitutions.

A HUNDRED THOUSAND VISITORS—LADIES AT THE TRIGGER—THE KING'S PRIZE. Large crowds of visitors were again in attendance at the Schuetzen Park, Union Hill, yesterday, where a supplementary exhibition of the great North German festival, or Plattdeutsch Volksfest, which has been in progress during the whole of the past week, took place during the afternoon. A large portion of tho visitors yesterday were Southern Germans, Bayarians, Suabians and others. The main feature was a monster concert, for which a rich programme had been prepared, ‘Tho programme of festivities also included a “toa party” and a “baptism,” with appropriate cere- monies, The North German ‘peasant’s house,” which has been erected on the festival grounds, has’all along been regarded as a curiosity and has been inspected by thousands of visitors, ‘There was also a distribution of jadies’ prizes to a number of ladies who, during the past. week, engaged in bird shooting. ‘The prizes ior the riflemen were distributed on the previous day, and the King’s prize was awarded to Henry Hollweg, who received a valuable gold medal, Its estimated that during the past week, while the festival has been in ogress, more than 100,000 persons have visited the ares fel die peobabia thas nendleeansha® $40,000 have been received alone for admission fees, NEW JERSEY STATE FAIR. During the past week the Executive Committee of the New Jersey State Agricultural Society met and completed their arrangements for the annual fair, which opens on the grounds at Waverly a week from to-day, General Judson Kilpatrick has been appointed Marshal of the day on the occasion of the tourna- ment and will ride his famous war horse. The judges selected to award the badges of honor aro Phineas Jones and Dr. 8. B. Hunt, of New- ark, and Major John A. Newlin, of Mill- ville, There are four testimonials offered by the society, to consist. ~—of_—First, a handsome silver pitcher; second, a_ silver oblet; third, a riding bridle, and fourth, a pair of spurs, Fach of these will be presented tothe successful “knights” in front of the grand stand at the close of the contest. Already ten gentlemen have enrolled their names to take part in this equestrian amusement, tocome off either Thursday or Friday of the week of the fair, the exact time having as yet not been settled upon. ‘The insignia of the “knights” will be simple and inexpensive. Saturday afternoon a number of the “knights” had a practice on the fair grounds at Wa- verly. NEWARK’S INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION. Last spring, after a good deal of agitation in the newspapers of the State of New Jersey, the Board of Directors of the Newark Industrial Institute yielded to the gencral demand and resolved that at the next ex- position the doors should not, as theretofore, be opened only to Newark manufacturers, but should be thrown open to manufacturers throughout the State, The result promises to be that when this year’s exhibition opens, which it does next Wednesday even- ing with an address by Governor Bedie, the show will be the finest yet witnessed m Newark. ' Already large numbers of manufacturers from distant parts of the State are piling in their wares for exhibition, and many others are asking for enlargement of their allotment of space. The interest taken by those from ontside Newark has exercised a wholesome effect on the Nowark manufacturers, who are taking increased stock in the enterprise, which is now admitted to be one of Newark’s most valuable institutions, LONG ISLAND CITY'S TREASURER. The delay in making public the result of the investi” gations of the accountants who have been engaged in making an examination of the books and accounts of John Horan, Treasurer of Long Island City, is beginning to occasion considerable comment. It is known that the report has been ready for some time and it was ex- pected that it wonld be presented to the Common Council at their meeting last Tuesday, but for somo reason it is still held back, possibly on account of the absence of Mayor Ditmars from the city. The Common Council will not meet again until the first Tuesday m October. Meantime the delay is construed favorably for Mr. Horan, whose friends have all along contended that there was no substantial ground for the charge of em- bezzlement brought against him, but that the whole movement was for political effect, There is already some talk of a suit for damages. THE ARMY OF THE CUMBERLAND. Most extensive preparations are making for the com- ing meeting of the Army of the Cumberland at Utica, set down for the 15th and 16th of the present month, The Mayor of the city and prominent citizens are specially in- teresting themselves in the undertaking. It is expected to be one of the largest and most satisfactory meetings of the society. Two causes will contribute to this. First, this is the completion of a decade since the close of the war, and secondly, no meetings have ever been held before excepting in the Western’ States, notwith- standing the fact that 10,000 men from New York were in the Army of the Cumberland. The arrangements include a public _ reception of the society by the city on the 16th, at which the military, &e., of the city will parade, and an oration by Colonel Waterman, of Chicago, on the evening of the same day. On the evening of the 16th a grand levéo and ball will be given to the society by the citizens. Governor Tilden will deliver a speech of welcome to the State, The preparations for the bull are on the most extensive scale, the largest hall in the city being en- gaged for the occasion and provisions made for thou- sands of guests. ‘The Governor's Island Band from New York is to furnish the music. President Grant is to be the guest of Senator Roscoe Conkling during the meet- ing, while Chief Justice Waite will be entertained by Judge Hunt, Positive assurances have been received seneral Sherman, General Hooker, General Custer, Bristow and other distinguished officers will be present, +2 + MARRIAGES AND DEATHS. _ AA MARRIED.
