a WASHINGTON DRIVING PARK Second Day of the Inaugural Running Meeting. Ozark, Springlet, Willie Burke and Diavolo the Winners. Wasminator, D. C., Oct, 27, 1875. The attendance at the Washington Driving Park to- day was large and the racing very good. The track was heavy from the rain of last night, but the time made by the horses was very fair and gave general satisfaction to the spectators, All that is required to make this park one of the most popular raciug points in America is a club of gentlemen to coutrol it, the present owner and manager having had no experience in tho business. The track is a good one, the sur- roundings beautiful, the place easy of access both to Washington and Baltimore, and with proper'manage- | ment must be a success. There were four races to-day, and these were run with promptness and despatch. ONE AND A HALP 3ULES, First on tho card was a purse of $225, dash of one mile and a half, free for all ages; the winnor.of the first half mile $75, of the yace $200, the second horse to re- ceive $50, For this event there were four starters, comprising L, A, Hitchcock’s chestnut horse Galway, by Concord, dam Maudina, 5 years old, 110 Ibs,; John Coffee’s brown filly Nettie Norton, by Leamington, dam Long Nine, 4 years old, 101 Ibs. ; John H, Davis’ brown colt Ozark, by Pat Malloy, dam by imported Sunny South, 3 years old, 90 Ihs., and J.

The continued disagreeable weather had a bad effect upon the attendance at the Prospect Park Fair Grounds yesterday, the number of spectators being almost as limited as marked the opening day’s amusement, There were three events on the programme, the first being the postponed 2:40 rage of Tuesday, the second for horses of the 2:33 class and the third the 2:26 purse, At the time of being put over four heats had been trotted in the “forty” race, Delhi and Bay Jack each having one and Melissa two, When the horses were called the —_ pools eraged—Delhi, $60; Melissa, $35; Bay Jack, $25; field, $18. Delhi won the fifth heat in 2:3634 and repeated the performance the sixth heat in 2:35, which gave him the race, Melissa takes second money and Bay Jack third, As a second protest was entered against Delhi steps were taken to prevent the pools being paid, at which effort the win- ners only laughed, The 2:33 purse was then called, and of nine entries four responded to the judges? call.

OPENING OF THE GLENDRAKE RANGE IN WEST- CHESTER COUNTY. : The new range of the American Rifle Association was opened in form yesterday, It is situated at Glendrake, about a mile westfrom the Pelbamville railroad depot, Westchester county, fifteen m'les from the Grand Cen- tral depot. It is expected that this range will be kept up partly by State aid from the National Guard fund and partly by individual support, As yet but little has been done to redeem the grounds from a state of nature. ‘Two third class targets were in uge yesterday, These arc of canvas, and hung on wooden frames so that they can be hoisted or lowered, after the plan observed at Wimbledon, A line of telegraph has been erected and, when completed, is intonded to establish a reliable means of communication between headquarters and the butts, The principal feature in yesterday’s proceedings was 8 review and inspection of the Twenty-seventh regiment (infantry), of the Seventh brigade, Fifth division, N.G.S.N.Y. The troops turned out in full dress uni- form, Brigadier General Blauvelt, commanding the Seventh brigade, accompanied by four members of his staff, conducted the review. In the march past in column by column the regiment showed a commenda- ble desire to excel. There were six commands of six- teen files front. Major Luckey inspected the troops and put them through the form of a muster. The regiment turned out 255 men. THE SHOOTING, There were four matches on the programme for yes- terday; but, on account of the late hour at which the inspection was ended, only the first was shot at the 200 ards range. The cpntest was for a badge for the est score ade bya member of the Twenty-seventh regiment. Distances, 200 and 500 yards; Remington military rifle; seven shots at each range; entrance, $1. ‘There were five entries. As a third class target was used at the 600 yards range, the match could not be culled in strict accordance with the rules, Shooting for prizes will take place at Glendrake to-day, THE RIFLE IN RHODE ISLAND, LAST DAY OF THE MEETING OF THE ASSOCIA- TION AT GREENWOOD—THE SHOOTING AND THE PRIZES, Provinence, Oct, 27, 1875.

DAUNTLESS VS. RESOLUTE. THE START FROM STATEN ISLAND YESTERDAY. It was ascertained early yesterday morning that the damage done tothe Dauntless in her race on Tuesday could be repaired in time to start her against the Reso- lute yesterday afternoon, as originally intended, In view of that fact it was decided to not postpone the race until to-day, as was announced in yesterday’s Hxraup, A strong wind from the west was blowing all day yesterday up to the setting of the sun, and it was hoped that the yachts would be able to got away in it, but not until late in tne afternoon dia the vessels find it possible to complete all their arrange- ments, The starting point was changed from the Sandy Hook Lightship toa line drawn from the Now York Club honse at Stapleton, Staten Island, to tho sloop yacht Vindex, which was lying about 500 yards from the Staten Island shore. The turning point 1s the Cape May Lightship, and the Sandy Hook Lightship is the home stake, At precisely five o'clock the Dauntless, which was lying a short distance to leeward of the Vindex, hoisted anchor, and, under main gaffopsail and flying jib, wore around for the Long Island shore. Atone minute past tive o’clock the preparatory signal was fired from the Mohawk> and ten minutes later the Resolute got under way, under the same sail as the Dauntless, and followed her adversary’s lead toward Long Island. When abreast of Bay Ridge dock the Dauntless loosed her fore gafftopsuil, and, heading down toward Hunt's dock, came up into’ the wind slowly and went about when abeam of Robbins’ Reef Light.” The Resolute pur- sued the same tactics, setting her fore gatitopsail pe- fore going around, and sailed’ up toward New York almost as far as the Dauntless. Both yachts were now heading for the starting line, and, although the breeze had moderated considerably, it was still blowing a full ten-knot breeze from the west, and both boats were making rapid headway. ‘They crossed the line on the starboard tack as foliow: Dauntless. . 5 28 39 Resolute,...... 5 87 08 After oI the line the Dauntless ran up her jib- topsail, and was bowling along finely, heading for Sandy Hook, while the Resolute did not seem to be doing quite’ so well. As darkness came over, the last seen of the boats was when the Dauntless was about abeam of Sandy Hook Point, with the Resolute a mile | and a halt astern, the wind beginning to freshen, a point forward of the yachts’ beams. Should the wind which was blowing at the time of their departure hold in strength, and continue from the same direction, it is probable that the yachts will have sailed their race by two or three e’clock this after- noon, DISASTER TO A YACHT. ‘The yacht Nautilus slipped her moorings in Newark Bay, near Bayonne, yesterday morning. She was driven by the wind hy the Newark Bay bridge with such violence that her bow was stove in, and she filled with Water and sunk, ACCIDENT ON A YACHT. Norvoux, Va., Oct. 27, 1875.

Yesterday there was a very brilliant assemblage gathered at Princeton, among whom were many ladies | and some visitors from Rutgers College, to witness “the new feature.” ‘The Princeton boys are as badly off as the Oxford or Cambridge undergraduates in the narrowness of the space of water which they have to row on, and hence the ‘bumping’? method. The Delaware and Raritan Canal, on which the “bump” was rowed, and which is the only water convenient for Princeton Col- lege, is not more than a hundred feet wide, but it pos- seases the merit of still water, being in this quality very like Quinsigamond Lake, The boats used yester- day by the four Princeton crews were shelis, and not | atall like the solid, Substantial gigs of the English | crews, and a very little bumping would have smashed | one of them in very short order.

The course | was a mile anda half in length, The Scientific School | had intended to enter a crew, but failed to do so. | Between each boat there was seventy feet of clear | water, and there were four finishing posts, 160 feet apari, one for each boat; and by the rules laid down tor | the instruction of the crews, no boat could bump or | overlap the other one after it had passed the | post designated as its dwn.

The Assembly Committee on Crime met yesterday morning, at eleven o'clock. THE RECORDER PUNISHING THIRVES. Mr. Peter Mitchell, said he was counsel for man named Lindolf, who was convicted jointly with Jane Fletcher for invelgling a man into her apartment | and there stealing a watch from his pocket; the Ke- corder sentenced him to flye years, and said to her that he would inflict a like punishment upon her, and thereupon sentenced her to two years only; on her way out she encountered a woman who had testified against her, and she pushed her back; thereupon the virago was brought back before Recorder Hackett, and tho latter interrogated the court officer about the push- ing of this witness, revoked the previous sentence and increased It to four years in State Prison, A “PREE AND EASY’? LAWYER. On tho 24th of May he was summoned to at- tend a client, Thomas Gill, proprietor of a ‘free and easy” concert saloon; some thirty-eight spec- tators at the saloon were arrested at tho | same time; without informing them that any charge had been made against them, Justice Murray said, “All of you are fined $10 each;’? at the request of Gill he appeared as counsel for these thirty-eight men, and | represented to the Justice that there was no shadow of | law for his action, Another caso was that of Detective Murphy, arraigned for grand larceny beforo Justice Murray; he objected at the examination to a certain question being put, and when the Justice overruled his objection he asked to have it noted; this the Judge re- fused to do, although it was only through the noting of these exceptions that the case could be heard | on appeal; he withdrew, telling his client that he | would be of no use to him, “JOHNNY THE GREEK”? Mr. Townsend read a statement in regard to a,caso against ‘Johnny the Greek,” a well-known pickpocket. He submitted all the papers in this case, and from theso it would appear that he was indicted in April, 1873, for picking the pocket of a gentleman, and that an eye-wit- ness swore to the fact. Nevertheless, ho was discharged for reasons that did not appear on the papers. A VISION OF GENET, Mr, Walter Gibson, formerly editor of the Harlem Local, said that last spring some information came to | him regarding the whereabouts of Genet; he imparted | the information to Mr. Lyons, who, when he asked him | as to whether he had taken any action about it, stated | that he bad referred the matter to Mr. Phelps; some | two or three weeks after he spoke again to Assistant District Attorney Rolling about it, and it was only then | that a detective was sent to capture. Genet; by that | time Genet bad heard of the movement against him and had disappeared. _ Jacob Waller a clerk of the Excise Board, said that | in May, 1875, a man named William Purcell’ paid $75 | for a license fee; his place was closed and he wanted to | get his money back, which was refused; the saloon | | Was closed on the ground that it was used tor immoral purposes, | Mr. 'T. King, of 12044 Greene street, said he started @ restaurant in that place together with Purcell; Jack Son, an inspector of the Board of Excise, whom tho withess pointed out, bought the license, for which he | had paid $75; Jackson asked for a gratuity of $25, and his wife gave him $10 to get rid of him, as Jackson said “it wag custoinary;” Jackson went away, greatly dis- leased at the smallness of the amount; subsequently jackson came to his place, took drinks there, and while | alone im the place (after the witness bad gone away) tole the license; in July, 1875, Jackson came there, took drinks as ‘evidence? that King sold liquor without # license, and had bim. arrested; Justice Bixby refused to take is bail, sept him to the Tombs for one night, and the next morning accepted the very bail which he had declined to take on the previous night, Mrs. King, wife of the previous witness, who keeps apartinents of ill fame in the upper portion of the house, while the lower part is used asa “restaurant,” stated | that Jackson asked her for the $25, saying, “Pll make j it an object to youy” she gave him $10, at which he ex- claimed, “Oh, that’s no money to me,” and when sho refused to give him any ntore he left, with the threat, “YOU'LL BE SORRY FOR TH13;”” somo two or three weeks later he came with a friend and asked he. to take a drink; he took somo gin and sugar and I took sarsaparilla; the drinks came to $1 26; after we had finished drinking he pulled out his saying “I'll book you;” “Book away,” I said; soon after she was arrested. William Purcell, quite a young man, who was evi- dently a blind for’ the Kings in the proprietorship of the “restaurant,” stated that he applied to Excise Com- missionér Stiner for a copy of the license which was stolen by Jackson, but that Mr. Stiner refused to grant | his request, saying that the license was a spurious one and had been obtained on false pretences. Mrs. Culeman, keeper of another house of evil re- pute in the immediate neighborhood, testified that she Was arrested for selling liquor without a license in July of this year, during the ‘grand raid; she was lockedayggpith a “lady” named Trevere, who was ar- rested 6 Same offence; this woman told her that she could settle her case with Commissiouer Stiner, | and after their liberation on bail took her to thé | Schuetzen Park, where she introducedthe witness to one Charles Kinkel, superintendent of buildings; Kinkel said he wonld settle her case and get her bail discharged through Mr. Stiuer, and wanted $50 for | doing 80; subsequently @inkel came to her, saying that he had scen Mr. Stiner, und that it couid not be done for less than $125;’she gave Kinkel $90, and soon after be said Mr. Stiner was not satis- fied, and wanted $100 more; the witness told Kinke that as soon as her bail was discharged she would pay the rest of the $125, bat no moro; in the Schuetzen Park she met Jackson and Stiner, and they told her to see Kinkel, whom, as they said, they had only just left; after her second arrest Jackson came to her with a friend (Inspector Newburgh, whom the witness pointed out in the room), and $60 was asked of her, which she could not give; Jackson gave her a card, writing on it the address of ‘“Goodkind Bros., Nu. 62 Broadway,” and told her to get her liquor there, and to tell them that he, Jackson, had sent her; the negotiations went on with Mr, Stiner, and the latter wanted her to meet him at an immoral’ place to have an interview with her, but she declined, saying that she saw no difference bi tween that place and her own; Mrs, Trevere paid Kinkel also $40, and so did other women in Gree street; Kinkel said, as sho had always understood, that balf the money ho receivéd ‘‘went’” to Mr. Stiner, DANIEL JACKSON, THE INSPECTOR, who had heard all this testimony, denied its truth in every particular. He said that Mrs. King wanted to bribe him with $25, which ho indignantly refused to tako; tho [icense was not stolen by him, but was re- voked because it was granted only for the restaurant in the basement and not for the upper portion of the houso; these people in Greene street had even threat- ened his life for doing his duty. After having first characterized all the statements of the previous wit- nesses as perjury, he admitted that he and Mr, Stiner | did meet Mrs. Coleman and Mrs, Trevere at tho Schuetzen Park, Mr. Patrick J. Hennessey, testified as to moneys he colle of the Twenty-seventh precinet in 1872 for payin; an inspector of buildings, cted from tne patrolmen otf | the political assessment of Police Commissioner Sthith, APTER RECESS. Alfred Dorlon, tho oyster dealer, testified that he was robbed by a man named Swan; Swan was sent to the Penitentiary for six months, but got out; he called upon District Attorney Phelps, but could not get the case put again on the calendar of the General Sessions for along timo; at last it was set down for a day last week, but Mr, Phelps did not ap- pear and the case went over again for this term; it was fifteen months now since he had been robbed, and | the thief still went about boasting that he was ‘all right." + Mr. Wheeler H. Peckham was the next witness. He gave a circumstantial account of the causes of com- plaint which he had against Reorder Hackett, as pre- | viously set forth in his letter to John Kelly, which was fully published in the Herat some time ago, REMARKABLE DISCLOSURES, Mr. Jobn T. Simons, clerk of the committee, went with Mr, Townsend, the counsel of the committee, to Sing Sing, and compared the list of convictions and sentences with those of the convicts recorded in the State Prison book, and found thata large number of prisoners duly sen\ d to the State Prison never reached that beautiful abode; these lucky prisoners were Martin Lyons, Jr., sentenced on February 17, 1878, for felonious assault to two years an six months; Michael O'Neil, sentenced September 11, 1873, tor yet larceny to two years; James Brennan, sentenced on October 6, 1873, for ten years; Chris: | topher Gallagher, sentenced on December 18, 1873, for | felonious assault, to two years and six months; Peter McLaughlin, sentenced on February 6, 1874; Edward McCabe, on’ October 20, 1374; Frederick Hamburger, Apnil 13, 1873, Mr. Simons also found that where the prisongrs had reached Sing Sing the terms as tharked in the books of the State Prison were sometimes less than was the sentence pronounced in court; James Sullivan was sentenced on April 22, 1873, for aitempted rand larceny to two years abd six months by Recorder lackett, while the State Prison book only showed one year; Robert McGinnis was sentenced on January 16, 1874, to tour years and six months, while the Stave Prigon book oily showed four years; ‘Thomas Moore, | alias Caleb Gunyan, a iirst class burglar, was first sen- tenced to ten years on March 2, 1874, for attempted burglary, and aiterward to five years, the sentence being changed by Judge Sutherland, without any record being made of a subsequent trial (there was none) or of the reasons why it was 80 changed, Wardon Quinn was asked why he did not take e- ceipt for every man surrendered to the deputy sheri( to be taken to Sing Sing. Mr. Quinn said that daily receipts were taken, but they were destroyed, No record was made in the ‘Tombs of the day when the prisoners left for Sing Sing, and Mr. Quinn, aftera good deal of bard questioning, admitted that {t would be beter to keep such a record, As it was there was no way of telling whether a prisoner who never eee Sing Sing escaped before or after he left the ‘ombs, Mr. Townsend ransacked among the enormous heap of indictment papers before him and found that some Were marked with State Prison sentences, while the Tombs returns showed that these had been changed to Penitentiary sentences, and that there were othor technical di cies in the papers, In March, 1874, five indictments were found against one Berrick, four for forgery and one for grand larceny. On March 9, 1878, he was sentenced on one indictment to one year in the Penitentiary, and his sentence was vi on March 15.

LETTER FROM DELOS DE WOLF TO WILLARD JOHNSON. Aunany, N. Y., Oct. 27, 1875. ‘The following letter {s telegraphed by Delos de Wolf from Oswego:— Oswrao, N. ¥., Oct, 27, 1875. To Hon, Wiitarn Jonnson :— Dean Sin—On the 30th day of June last I made a statement to 7 in writing in relation to a conversa- tion [had with Governor Tilden in the early part of May in regard to the bill in which provision is made for the payment of certificates issued to you for work done on the Erie Canal. The truth of this statement having been denied, and proof called for, I deem it my duty d feel in honor bound to repeat the statement mado at the time referred to above, and will give some addi- tionai details, as follows, for ‘the purpose of enabling you to raise the money on the certificate issued to you on account of the contract for building the side cut, locks at West ‘Proy, to the amount of about $50,000, . I will state the substance of a conversation I had with Governor Tilden while the bill making provision his (the Governor's) hands, awaiting The Governor said he had doubts as to some items con- tained in the bill, but so far as your certificates were concerned, he made no objections; in fact he admitted that they were valid claims against the State and would havo to be paid in pursuance of the provisions of said bill, now known as act chapter 263 of the Laws of 1875. The Governor said he did not know whether he would sign the bill or not, but would allow it to become a law if he did not sign it Yours truly, DELOS DE WOLF, REAL ESTATE SALES.

BOARD OF MISSIONS. The Board of Missions of the Protestant Episcopal Church continued ita session yesterday. The spiritual interests of the colored people in America and the due Episco) supervision of China and Africa were d cuseed, and the duty of contributing according to one’s means to tho spread of the Gospel was dilated upon, Dr. Samuel T.

Repent, Else Ye Shalt Die. UNIVERSALISM DENOUNCED. The Brooklyn Tabernacle was filled at an earlier hour yesterday morning than on the previous mornings, Te while away the time some one started a hymn, and sev~ eral hymns were sung before the meeting was regularly opened. After the church was packed as full as possi< ble the chapel was opened, and the overflow poured into it, Mr, Moody opened the meeting with silent prayer, after having read the requests for prayer whicl had been handed in. The Rey. Fred Bell then prayedy and the twenty-ninth hymn was sung, Mr. Moody read from the fifth chapter of Luke tha story of Christ healing the leper, Then he said:—Heret is @ man full of leprosy. No one dares go near bi yet he bad faith to believe Christ could heal him, and ht WENT STRAIGHT TO CHRIST, which every one ought to do, He did not say, like the man in the ninth chapter of Mark, “If thou canst, he: my boy.” He says, “If thou wilt, heal me; and! Christ said, I will, Be thou clean,” Whero the le; rosy went I don’t know. The lesson we ought to lear! from this is that if we have faith to believe God can| heal us. I would like to have been in Capernaum when these men brought the sick man down ome of on streets, perhaps Jericho street, These four men hi faith for the sick man. Matthew, Mark and Luke all tell us about the man sick with the palsy, but they! don’t say he had faith, Perhaps he had, but the four men had faith for him. If men have not enough faith let us have faith for them, and if we cannot eome ourselves, let some on | help us, Suppose you go to a neighbor and say, “Com: with me to the special meeting; I am anxious abou your soul,” and he says, ‘No, I don’t believe in thosa Meetings.”? But another comes and asks him, and hi says, “No, I don’t have any faith in that kind oj preaching.” A third comes and asks him, and he ins to feel uncomfortable, and before he goes to bed a fourth comes, and says, “Iam anxious about yoy soul; come.” And I'll venture to say he goes. Let u | keep working till we get them at the fect of Christ./ May God give us love for souls, and give us winnie | that we may bring souls to Him, Let us have faith 1 Him. The ninety-ninth hymn was then sung, after which. | an address by Rev. George W. Martin was delivered, 45,855,130 36,335,632 1,084) 654 | 164,492 | for the payment of these certificates with others was in | his signature. About half-past seven o’clock last evening a fire was | discovered on the first floor of the five ry vrick building No, 200 Fulton strect. The first floor was A OURISTIAN PAMILY, When {t was ended Mr. Talmage sald:—My grands mother was a good Christian woman, One night aif | the children were going to a party and she said, ““Comay | into my room after you are dressed, I want to see you. | They did 80, The old lady blessed them all, and told, | them she hoped to see them Christians. They went to | the party, but did not enjoy it much, and came home | early, The next morning the old people heard a com-» | motion in the room below, and they went down and | found one daughter crying, “Oh, what. shall Ido to be saved? Father, mother, pray for me.” Pres | ently they were ‘called out into the kitchen, | being told that something was the matter, | with Tom, one of the brothers, They went out ther@ and found him on his face before God, and he cried, | “Father, mother, pray for me.” Just then the servants | camo in trom the barn and told them that something | was the matter with David (efierward my father). He | was crying “What shall I do to be saved? Father, mother, pray for me.”” Well, there was a young woman H about @ mile off, Catharine Nanness (afterward my mother), and he went and told her. She aid not wan@ | to be left out of the kingdom, and she was | converted. In a short timo 270 were brought into the —_ church. — After = my _~—_—smother had a little family around her she got together a ban@ of six mothers, and they met for prayer every week, | and they kept praying till all their children were in the? Kingdom of God. Then mother made up her min she would go alittle further, and she prayed day ani night that some of us might become ministers, and four, of ua did, Oh, would I not be a vile infidel if 1 did nowt believe in prayer? Oh, mothers ! pray, pray. Rev. Mr, Greenbury, of Leeds, England, then de-- | livered an address, and the meeting was closed by th singing of the ‘Gates Ajar,” at the request of an ag sand feeble woman, who thought that it might be the last time she would bear it, THE REVIVAL LAST EVENING. Long before the hour for opening service at the Rinic. last evening that building was full, and the “overtlow’?| thronged Simpson Methodist Episcopal church so that there was scarcely standing room in that edifice also. | While the congregation was gathering the choir sang a¢ few sacred songs. Dr. Duryea offered the opening, | prayer, directing his petition especially for thet preacher and the singer, that the words of the ones and the songs of the other might prove sermons tor the people, many of whom he prayed might be led to Christ. Mr. Sankey then sung alone “The Ninety and Nine.” His voice was a little husky, prob- ably from the cohstant strain upon it, Mr. Moody then read Acts ii, 36-47, and offered w | brief prayer that God would shake this nation and, | bring many into his fold. Both Dr. Duryea’s and Mr. , | Moody's prayers were repeatadly responded to by per- sons in the audienée, Mr. Sankey sung hymn 64, “A Sinner Forgiven,” or Mary Magdalene, with much feeling. From Acts xvii., 30, Mr. Moody took his text, “Bu now God commandeth all men everywhere to repent’) | All through the New Testament, he ‘said, there is # call! | unto men to repent, j REPENT WAS THE ONLY TEXT | that Joho the Baptist bad until be saw Christ? There is not an unconverted man_ here to- night who has @ right idea of God. Some/ think that He is angry with them, and will not receive them, Others think that God is so merciful, | that He will save all men, and they have no need to Te-) pont, Ab any. rate they bave no cause for hurry, hose poople believe that the Lord by the flood swept! ali the antediluvians into heaven, and yet left Noah, | the only*righteous man then living, to paddle about ag! best he could. What vonsense thatis! The preaching’ of the Gospel will always have one of two effects. Ik, will either cut to the heart and make men mad| so that they will declare they'll never go | to hear the preacher again, or it wi prick to the heart and kill the old Adam, and out of) that death shall come a new life. Well now all mem everywhere are commanded to repent, That takes in’ all the men in Brooklyn and New York. If you don’t’ a. you shall all likewise perish, The newspapers tell us there isastorm coming from the West across, the continent at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour. If its force is not expended it will be here very soon. But there is another storm coming that the newspapers know nothing about—when the heavens shall be rolled. together as a scroll and the earth shall be burned up. MOODY GORS FOR THE UNIVRRSALISTS. Now, said Mr. Moody, let me give you an illustration, for those men who are all the time crying out that be-, cause God 18 so merciful He is going to save ail men. Suppose the Governor of this State is so merciful that! he can’t bear to seo @ burglar shut up in prison ora murderer executed. A number of citizens call om | him and try to impress him that the good of society re-| quires the imprisonment of the one or the execu tion of the other, But he says he can’t bear to d either—his aa won’t permit him. Why, my | friends, said Mr, Moody, these very ‘men | would’ be among the first to declare thi such a Governor was not fit to hold his position twenty~ four hours. I tell you God is just, as well as merciful. , | I tell you there is not a ray of hope in the future for; | any man who does not repent, But some men would’ | like to repent, they say, but they can't. They. should, say I won't instead of I can't.@ Now, when God gives a | command He gives the power Also to obey. Some peo~ ple think repentance is fear, You put @ pistol to a man’s head and cali on him to repent and bi peni-i tent at once; but when he leaves your presence and the fear is removed there is no repentance there, He gave other illustrations to show that men coul repent at any ume if they would, and closed with appeal to the unconverted to do so at once, 'n the young men’s prayer meeting in the Reformedi Church twenty-one young men arose for prayers. Dr. } Duryea adaressed the goa at Simpson Methodist; Episcopal church, and Mr. Sankey shipped away fro the Rink and sang for them, In the inquiry room, al the close of the service, about 100 were present, the meeting, was protracted until about ten o'clock. THE UNIVERSALIST REVIVAL, ‘The Universalist revival services, commenced om Monday last, were continued last night in the Univer~ salist church, Clermont avenue, Brooklyn, under tha’ direction of the pastor, Rev. H. R. Nye, A large congres gation was present, The question for consideration was “Why should we commence the Christian life now?" The principal address of the evening was delivered byt the Rev. J. McCarthy, of the Universalist chure! Bleecker street, in this city, who urged, at considerable length, the necessity of comming to Christ at once, and of growth and progress in grace. He was followed ow tho same subject by Rev. J, M. Pullman Tho proceedings were diversified singing rx and reading the Scriptures, In conclusion Rey, r, Nye announced that, while he could not approve of some of the means taken in other churches at presen! to create a revival, ho was ready to converse with an: one who wished to obtain a knowl of Universali: ideas on religion, and had ot some tracts on th¢ same subject, which wi istributed through the pews REVIVAL ON STATEN ISLAND. Preaching and prayer meetings havo been held at thy | old Woodrow Methodist church, near Rossville, Stated Island, every evening for the past two weeks, They are still in progress, and attended with great su The services are conducted by the Rev.
