To tae Eprton or tus Henarp:— In your issue of Sunday, October 24, I find an article signed “Serutator,” commenting very bitterly upon some remarks made by Mr. Frothingbam. 1 have not read the remarks, neither do I know Mr. Frothing- few words to “‘Serutator."” You find fault with Mr. Frothingham for saying that “the best method ot seeing God is through nature,” and then you ask im a very bombastic tone, “Pray, | “God is everywhere,” If that ts true God is in and through nature, And as we can see in this world uature only it follows that “the best method of seeing | God ts through aatare." Again, you say, “he thing formed can never be the | former of it, though it may tellus a great deal about Him.” According to the Scriptures, Christ was God, and God created Christ, or, in other words, Christ w: | God Himself. Christ was a “thing formed. | will not deny that He was “the former of it”” Next you say, “The natural man understandeth not the things of the Spirit of God; they are foolishness unto bim.” Now, in all seriousness, allow me to ask of what possible use are those “things” if “natural men’? cannot understand them? If the Book is sealed to all except those who profess to be Christians of what | possible use is it? The Word of God was given, as is taught, to save sinners and not Christians, We are all “natural” Now, who was the Qrst “natural”? man that made these ‘spiritual’ discoveries that you refer | to? and who are the unnatural men of the present day | | who are so much wiser and better than their fellows | I answer they are the reverends and protessors who impart their superior wisdom to the ‘‘naturals,”? | and, as in times past, fatten on their superstitions, Out } upon such mouldy cant! Mr. “Scrutator,”’ we have plenty of creeds nowadays, but very little religion. And now allow me to ask you | itany man can possibly be a zealous member of any | ehureh without being injured by it? Will it not make him narrow minded, seltish, bigoted, uncharitable and one idead (if I may dse the term)? Your letter is an evidence of the fact, Look around you—the different | creeds are wrangling, but never mingle. They never “love their neighbors as themseives.” Instead of practising Christianity they are reading each other into “everlasting fire,” Instead of laboring to save souls and assist the poor, they are building massive edifics in which they wrangle over creeds. Look at the mill- fons of money squandered upon steeples alone, which | are of no possible use, while millious of widows and orphans are wailing for bread. Is this tianity? You will answer that they are built for the ‘‘glory of God,” as if a pile of bricks and mor- tar could add to or diminish the glory of God. After the crucifixion of Christ the cross bessge 4 the symbol of religion—never before; yet about the first thing | Christ says is ‘Take up your cross and follow me.” Wh. this remark? On the cross Christ said to the thief, “This day shalt thou be with mein Paradise.’’ And | Ret many days passed before Christ ascended into upon himself the office of teacher solve the above problems? A “natural? man would like to be in- structed, If, asthe modern Solon ‘‘Scrutator’’ says, | God “created man for His own purpose and pleasure,” why should we poor “naturals” wrangle over, tinker | at and try to reform His handiwork? If God mad man for His own “pleasure” it is self-evident, | as He had the power, that He just as He wanted him. If the human race has fallen God has the power to save it if He so desires, With sin | came death into the worl Without sin there would | have been no death, and we should have lived in this | world throughout eternity. But now, through sin and repentance, we can go direct to heaven, and be ouly a little less than the angels, and herein you will see the | advantages of sin. Then let us rail no more about sin, but hail it rather as our dearest friend—as a ladder by | | which we can ascend tnto heaven and be invested with | acrown of gold. But for sin we should have been | doomed to revolve with this ‘‘maniac orb” through all eternity. Just think of this when you sit down again to give vent to your spiritual feelings, Mr. “Scrutator.”” | And now, with your permission, I will remain, NATURAL. CHAT: BY THE WAY. The uptown evening meetings will probably die this | week. The people are either too bad or too good to | sapport them. | The biennial meeting of the Evangelical Alliance | was recently held in Pittsburg. There was nothing | else to talk about, and so the delegates discoursed of Church unity, but they disagreed even about that | The attendance and interest in the religious meet- | ings of Brooklyn are both falling off alittle. If the | evangelists can convert New York and its suburbs they will (ind easy work elsewhere. Some of Mr. Sankey’s hymris have been translated {nto the language of Madagascar, They are said to be very effective in soothing the savage breast, It is now thought that every missionary to China ought to be a physician as well. Allopathic drugs and | homceopathic religion are the order of the day. Dr. Fulton has resigued at last, and so is his society. | If the secret history of tnat church during the last twelve months wore told !t might excite the surprise of the eredulous and the derision of the thoughtful. Of eli fasses in the worlds fuss among Christians is the meanest and the worst, When those who set us examples set us such examples that even outsiders | have too mach honor to follow them then it is time to sing one of Mr. Sankey’s hymns ana go home, What can be the matter in Brooklyn? The great re vival goes very slowly. and the best and most hope- fal are disappointed, but can’t tell what the difficulty is, The meetings are sometimes incomparably dull, and everybody looks at his neighbor and whispers, How curious, isn’t it? Moody preaches earnestly, Sankey sings es weil ashe did when all England took up the chorus; bat the people have stopped their ears and packed their earts in ice for safe keeping. You can’t weld iron univss it’s at a white heat, and the con- ver are not warm enough to into water. The Congregationalist has been occupied of late in trying to discover ¢ r length for a sermon. The matter is not difficult of solution, as the following | proves:—A young cleryyinan who had rag dry on sub- | jects for discourses, but who was in the habit of preach- ing until the pews yawned, went to one of his deacons and said, “Deacon, Iam in despair, for I don’t know what to preach ‘about next Sunday.” The deacon etopped in his work fora moment, and said, grufly, | “Brother Smith, t would be a good thing for us ail it you would preach about twenty minutes.” | We sometimes wonder what the effect would be if | the entire missionary force which covers Asia, Africa and the other outlying groups of barbarians should be gathered to a focus and concentrated, for instance, on | New York, We might have a sort of portable religious furnace. After having burned up the refuse of one city it might be transported to another until the whole eontinent was cleansed. Something, certainly, must | be done: If this revival does not fresnen up a little we shall have to do what the government does in time of danger—call the whole fleet home from every part of | the world.to protect our own borders. What we shall | come to by and by not even the clergy can tell, if there is not arevtval both in business and religion pretty | soon. | . Hero is Christ deacon became clared that he would rather seo the whole Baptist denomination sink than have it give up close com- munion, Ifa Koman Catholic had uttered a similar sentiment the whole country would blaze with the ery of | “Bigot!” and “Fanatic!” and the alarm would be sounded in every sensational pulpit. That man evi- dently believ total abstinence from the Holy Spirit, but he takes nity for you with avengeance! A good foundland dog. The Cincinnati clergy are either very tacetious or very foc They recently met in solemn conclave and resolved to have @ visitation from the Lord im the shape of a revival during the year 1 Their object is | to do up the Centennial and the revival im the same | bundle. One shot and two birds is their notion of | economy. Of course the Lord wil come after an in- | vitation of that kind; Uut the conversions may possbly be alittle mixed. Ohe can’t tell whether the people are to be converted to religion or to Philadelphia, | Dr. Fulton says in his letter of resignation :—M. experiences in Brooklyn have brought health to my | soul. I shall bear with me to my latest hour memories of those days when we have wrestied together in prayer for the good of Zion.” We bad supposed that such | vigorous exercise as that in which the Doctor hi | reeently engaged was a little too straining for health, and as for the “wrestling,” the congregation are likely to remember that as long as the pastor will Mr. Moody’s Bible has excited the curious. It is dog-eared and soiled with thumb marks, It seems to be @ bad looking book for a gorgeous centre table, but orite passages aro attract the attention 8 | good enough for co marked in blue, red and black, to | at once, and marginal notes and skeletons of sermo: | are to be found in every available place. Five hundre ministers go to hear Mr. Moody and listen to him cally to discover the secret of his success. Perhay his Bible dirty by constant use, Ordinary people | afford to have clean Bibles, but every minister ought fo bave one that is well covered with the thnmb marks of daily perusal Less eloquence and more Bibles | would be @ valuable experiment todry. The papers are complaining because less than half a dozen of the graduating clase'in Yale propose to enter the ministry. A vexed question is certainly presented by this fact, We are flooded with aoctors enough to Kill or cure a whole generation, and with legal fledg~ lings enough to get the universe into an inextricable snarl, but the young gentiemen of the present age do not take naturally to a white neckcloth and the West | Minster catechism, We #01 larger number of the really’ religious people do not ler the ministry im self-defence, because, after all, it is 60 much easier to preach dull kermons than to listen | tothem.

What do you honestly think the common sense of the commu- Dity ought to say about such a sentence as this!— “There ean be nothing permanently salutary In the ex- istence of any other denomination than the Baptist."’ The gentleman who uttered this seatiment was a D, D., and name—by what curious freak of nature wo | can't tell—is Bright, No wonder that Carlyle refused | a degree, when it is worn flauntingly by such pigmies. One almost feels that it would be a positive injury to hear such a man preach, We have seen a piece of tim- ber that was dried out of shape, crooked and juiceless, d that sentence, uttered by a representative man, shows that he has been baked in the oven of theology | seven times heated, until every drop of generous blood | has evaporated, “‘And now remain these three—faith, | hope and charity; but the greatest of these is charity.’ We have an exquisite clerical illustration of that fact ) in this D. D. | The Christian Register, a so-called “liberal” news- | paver, deprecates the Moody movement because it will tir up the old theolovical controversy with the Unita- ans, This is very like saying that one ought not to go | fishing because be might catch the whale that ewallowed | Jonah, Well, logic is logic, but it assumes @ funny shape in some people's minds, | Dr. Stephen is perhaps the most popu- 3 Tyng. Jr, lar clergyman of the Episcopal Church in this city. A little too Liberal to suit the conservative taste of his brethren, apt to break the barness when it galls and to roam according to his own sweet will rather than ac- cording to the strict demands of the rubric, he has quite as much influence outside of his sect as in it, He gives one the impression shat he is an Episcopalian by | birth and a Copgregationalist by nature. At any rate, | he wears the demands of his bishop as an easy yoke, | | and does not hesitate to interpolate a pre two, of his own when occasion offers, | stature he is of medium height, not over five feet | ten inches, and, reckoned in avoirdupois, ho | | Would not ‘be regarded as a heavy weight.’ He | is evidently very tough ‘and wiry, however, and ean throw off in a given time as much "hard work as any clergyman in the city. Always busy, with a dozen irons in the fire, he manages to keep them | all hot and to shape them all'according to his wishes, His power lies in bility to inspire men with confl- dence in his plans and in getting them so interested | | that they carry them on without further labor on his | art, He has probably more missions connected with | is ministry than any other church in the diocese, and | 8o great is his system in appealing to the benevolence | of his people that none of them lack funds. As a | preacher Dr. Tyng ts very effective and popular. Often | | going into the pulpit without notes, and known as a | man of the people, he gathers large audiences and | sways them, Earnest, honest in utterance, and not | given to sensation, he occupies an enviable position | among the pastors of all denominations, and has earned | it by years of unremitting toil.

MOODY AND SANKEY. ‘THE SERVICES IN THE TABERNACLE YESTERDAY MORNING. The Brooklyn Tabernacle was crowded yesterday morning. Among the auditors were a large number of young people—school boys and girls—who were doubt- less much disappointed by the absence of the “sweet winger,” Sankey. The reason of his non-attendance was not explained) The Rev. Fred Bel) was pres- ent, however, and, in a measure, atoned for the absence of Mr. Sankey. Mr, Moody said he had @ great many requests for prayer, and all, with the exception of four, asked prayers for others. He wished to find more persons requesting prayers for themselves, The hymn ‘Jesus, Lover of My Soul” was then sung by the congregation. Mr. Moody read the twenty-eighth chapter of Acts, and founded his discourse upon it, It would have been a waste of time for Paul to have stood up among those barbarians, he said, if he had not been able to rid himself of the viper which fastened itself upon his hand. If he had announced himself as a physician they would hi “Physician, heal thyself.” After he to see him fall down dead; but as they saw no barm come to him they concluded that be ‘was of God. They should learn a lesson from this, If they were not healed of their sins, was it not becatiso there was a viper in the Church in- stead of the healing arm? Was it not because the; had the viper pride? This viper must be shaken o: Mr. Moody, as a further lesson, read from Paul's Epistle to the Corinthians, and the sixth verse of the fifth chapter of St. Matthew—“Biessed are they who hunger and thirst after righteousness.” He hoped they all thirsted after this righteousness. He did, and he prayed that God might fill him with i, They should not ask for drops, but floods of it, At the request of Mr. Moody, Mr. Needham, tho Irish evangelist, offered a prayer’ for the blessing of God on their work, Dr. Fulton, of the Hanson place Baptist church, followed witn along supplication to God to aid the ministry in the work. The Rev, Dr. Cuyler made a few remarks and offered prayer, and was followed by the Rey, Frederick Bell. “Nearer, my God, to Thee,” was then sung, after which another clergyman arose and said he thought the cause of Christ would be tur- thered if they stopped patronizing the grocers, the butchers, ‘the barbers and the street cars on the Sab- bath; ‘but Mr. Moody interrupted him by saying that | they’ must not wander from the subject before them, | and called upon the Rev. Mr, Davis to pronounce the benediction. After the meeting had been dismissed he summoned the clergymen about the platform to a conference, and among the number who took part in the proceedings | were Dr. Fulton, the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, the Rev. Frederick Bell, the Rey. Dr. Parker, the Rev. Dr. Cuyler, the Rev, Mr. Ward and others. “‘fheir princi- pai business was to iay out the work for the coming week and to determine the best course to pursue to bring souls to Christ. REVIVAL MOVEMENTS. WHAT IS BEING DONE HERE AND ELSEWHERE— THE PRESBYTERIANS, BAPTISTS, METHODISTS, REFORMED CHURCHMEN AND EPISCOPALIANS AROUSED TO PRAY AND FAST. The churches in New York are beginning to arouse themselves to the necessity of action, without waiting for the coming of Messrs. Moody and Sankey in: Janu- ary. Several representative denominational bodies bave taken action in this direction and recommended a day or days of fasting and prayer for a preparation for religious awakening which they hope and pray for. The recent Convention of the Southern New York Baptist Association recommended all the pastors of the denom- {nation represented in that body to devote the first Sabbath in November to concerted sermons on tho power and work of the Holy Spirit, All or most of them will therefore preach one sermon to day on that theme, so that the minds and hearts of charch people may be prepared intelli- gently to receive the Divine Spirit when He comes to the churches. The same body also suggested the ob- servance of a day of prayer and fasting by the Church thoir pastors and all who minister in word and doctrine, | It has been agreed, therefore, to set apart next Friday, | November 12, for such observance. Mr. Moody has also recommended this day for the same purpose, and the Presbyterian synods of Western New York, of Long Island and others have made similar recommendations fall in with the others on Friday. The higtest judica- tory of the Reformed Church has given utterance to a desire for the observance of Friday as a day of prayer and fasting, and it will be so observed by the adherents of that Church. A few weeks ago the Methodist Preach- ers’ Association of this city appointed a committee to consider and devise some plan for UNION REVIVAL SERVICES in certain centrally located churches. But after sleep- ing and talking over it for three weeks, and consulting | with the city pastors, the union idea has been dropped, | and every pastor enters into the work alone, to do the best he can. It was found thatso many pastors had — revivals in their own ands that they could not give them upto enter into any union movement, however much they might desire to do 80, In the Twenty-seventh street Methodist Episcopal church, Rev. Mr. Clarke has | had over 100 inquirers during two weeks, and a large proportion of them have been converted. In Allen | street, Washington square, Bedford street, Thirty-dfth strect’ and otier churches here revival meetings aro held every evening and similar results seen. “The com- mittee have recommended, and the pastors agreed, to | observe Friday next as a day of prayer for the outpour- ing of thespirit of God and for revival influences upon their in common with other Christian churches, A social meetin will be held | on the evening of the 12th, in the Central Methodist | Episcopal church, in Seventh avenue, near Fourteenth street, in behalf of city evangelization as represented issionary Society. The | bishops and members of the General Missionary Com- mittee and the Board of Managers, together with the editors and offictals of the different benevolent socie- | views on this important subject. In the afternoon of Friday the churches generally will be open for religious exercises, and after special sermons next | Sunday there will’be a concerted charge along tho lines on Monday, and on every day after, taking in two servi afternoon and evening, when short sermons | or addresses will be delivered and revival hymns sung. ‘This programme will take in Brooklyn and part of Jer- soy City, as well as New York. When these meetings | have gone on for acouple of weeks, a collection is to be taken up simultaneously in all the Methodist Episco- pal churches of the city {or tho BVANGELIZATION OF THR MASSES through the agency of the City Missionary Society. ‘And on the Wednesday evening preceding that daie a public meeting will be held ata church not yet desig- nated, when the work and the successes and hin- drances of the work will be described in detail That Weauesday evening will also be devoted to prayer for the evangelization of the city and to discussion of the duty of Methodists in relation to-it. A special meet ing of the City Missionary Society was held last Fri- day afternoon, when the foregoing programme, go far ag that society ts related to it, was decided upon, ‘The Episcopalians, who rarely join with their brethren of other denominations in these fast or feast day observan have agreed to unite with their brethren of the Church of England to fast and pray on the 30th inst. So thatthis. month will be compassed with prayer and revival influences. These, together with the ‘Rink and other evangelistic services in Brook- lyn; the prayer meetings, day and evening, in Fulton stree' Carmel chapel, Bowery; Lyle’s, Sixth avenue; the Church of the Disciples and other churches and places throughout the city, ought to rouse the sleepy Christians and set them to work to remove the stigma which Mr. Moody has de- clared rests upon the churches—namely, that they aro to-day the greatest hindrance to the progress of the work of God. Yesterday noon there was an excellent meoting at Mr. Lyle’s. © About 300 persons were pres- ent ‘he meeting was led by the Rev. Mr. Johns, of Thirty-fourth street Methodist Episcopal church, who spoke 1p encouragement of Christian faith. Jerry cCauley, of Water Street Mission, also spoke about consecration to God, and remarked that-there has been continuous revival in his mission for three years, and that not a day passes without some souls being saved there. Dr. Tyng, Jr., addressed the meeting on the work of the Holy Ghost’ and the position of Chris. tians as coworkers together with God, The work of Holy Ghost he declared was to bold up and mani- fost Josus Christ, and if believers co-operate with Him in this there may be @ constant revival in all our charches. The Kink services to-day will be a little dir. forent from those of last Sunday. At half-past cight A. M. Mr. Moody will talk to Christian workers; in the afternoon there will be # service for women, and in the evening, at half-past seven, instead of nine o'clock, @ service for unconverted persons only, admission to which is by tickets, easily procurable, THE LATE BISHOP: BACON, Rev.

Tweed, Messrs, Field and Deyo, counsel for the defendant, served yesterday a notice on counsel for the people, which is given below and which explains itself, ‘MR, TWEED'S NEXT MOVE. “Take notice that on the annexed affidavit of William M. Tweed and on all the pleadings and proceedings in this action we shall move this Court, at a Special Term thereof, to be held for the county of New York, at Chambers, in the Court House, New York city, on the third Monday of November, 1875, at the opening of the Court on that day or as soon thereafter aw counsel can be hoard, for an order requiring the plaintiffs to reply to tho matters set forth in the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh defences contained in the amended answer herein, and for such other and further rolief as may be just.” DEMANDS A REPLY TO HIS ANSWER, The affidavit of Mr. Tweed, to which the foregoing notice refers, and of which it is the basis, 1s ag iol lows:— City and County of New York, ss. :—An amended answer in this cause was put in on the 28th day of Octo- ber last, a copy thereof being on that day served on the plaintiffs attorney, and the original filed with th, Clerk of this Court on the 30th of the same month. duly verified reply to the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh defences set ap in the said answer is’ neceseary to the Proper determination of the rights of the parties ereto, as this deponent is advised by his counsel and believes; that in order to prove the fourth, filth, sixth aud seventh defences it will be necessary to call as witnesses Wheeler H.

WILLIAM M. TWEED, ‘MR. TWEED’S DEFENCE. The detences referred to in the foregoing papers, to which a ny ig demanded by defendant, are those re- lating to the alleged compromise which has been made with Keyser and the estate of Watson. ‘The motion is made unaer section 153 of the Code, which provides that when an answer contains a statement of new mat- ter constituting a defence by way of avoidance, the Court may, in its discretion, on the defendant's mo. tion, require a reply to such new matter, In both suits against Tweed tho same motion is to be made, THE OCEAN BANK ROBBERY. A most fruitful source of litigation, is the defunct Ocean National Bank. Having for some time past oc- cupied very largely the attention of the United States courts, it now promises to occupy an equal sharo of the attention of the State courts, Before the bank was robbed, in 1869, Mr. William Lilienthal claimed that he had deposited in the bank $57,000 tn money and securi- ties. Some time ago, im @ uit in the Supreme Court, he obtained a judgment against the bank for this amount He claimed that the loss of his money and securities occurred through the negligence of the offi- cers of the bank at the time of the robbery. The case was carried to the Court of Appeals, where the jadg- ment was reversed and a new trial ordered, on the ground that improper evidence was admitted during tho trial The case was on the Supreme Court, Cir cuit, calendar for retrial, when a motion was made on behalf of Mr. Lilienthal for postponement, on the ground that he desired to obtain the testimony of one Harris, a | resident of Rutherfurd, N. J. The Court directed that a commission issue to take Harris’ testimony, but sob- sequently Mr. Litienthal’s counsel gave notice that he would not take the commission, but would rely on pro- ducing the man in court. He made a motion, however, to have the suit stayed until he could procure the re- turn of a commission to take the testimony of George E. Miles, lately extradited from this State to Vermont Yor trial’on a charge of complicity in the Barre Bank robbery. This motion was granted, with an order to show cause, made returnable yesterday in Supreme Court, Chambers, before Judge Donohue. ite a lengthy and somewhat exciting argumont en- sued ou the hearing upon the order to show cause why very strenuously insisted that the delay asked for should be granted, and particularly as it was only a brief delay and might materially affect the final re- sult, The ore counsel contended that the case should be brought to trial forthwith, and that no good reason had been given for any delay.’ He went on to state that Lileuthal bad got among a gang of bur- ‘lars and receivers of stolen goods, who had persuaded im that they knew something that could help him. Recently there had been a Jong trial in the Enited States Suppeme Court, where the officers of the bank were charged with complicity with the burglars, and for the purpose of appearing at such triala burglar had ‘actually been pardoned out of State Prison, but which burglar failed to appear at the trial and the prosecution had to acknowledge that they had utterly failed to show any complicity in the burglary of the cashier of the bank. The plaintiif, he added, had first asked for delay on account of Harris, who, it | ‘was not at ali likely, would appear. He now wants the burglar George E. Miles. Mr. Lilienthal had been giving out money and clothing to these wretches, and, as long as he did, he would be filled with stories as to what others could a to. It was time, he contended, that an end should be put, not only to these improper assaults on the bank officers, but to this bleeding of Lilienthal himself. After a sharp rejoinder by the | age counsel, Judge Donohue, in whom was mani- fest. considerable interest in the case, adjourned the hearing. THE DISABLED MONTANA. As counsel for George W. Sheldon, Sarah E. Sheldon, John Cockroft, Georgia A. Cockroft, Theobald W. Butler, John R.
