PLYMOUTH CHURCH. CHRIST THE EMANCIPATING SPIRIT OF GLOBE. The attractive Easter services at the other Brooklyn churches yesterday operated in dimimshing slightly the | crush at Mr. Beecher’s, where no musical of other ser- | vices of an unusual character were prepared. The sole | decoration of the edifice was a mighty vase of flowers upon the platform to the right of the preacher, Calla lilies, great bunches of double violets, azaleas and orehids of a glorious tint never before seen in this | are found latitude were combined in harmonious profusion, Miling | | the air with fragrance and delighting the eyes of the | worshippers. Mr. Beecher chose for his text the story of the visit of the two Marys to the sepulebre, when “they said nong themsclyes ‘Who shall rol us away the stone rom the door?’”? The purpose of the sermon was to, prove that Christ ts the supreme emancipator, that the true Christian is freed from a thousand cares that trouble the unbeliever, and is made, if not independent of outward circumstances, at least superior to them, After illustrating this propgsition at sowe length Mr, Beecher reierred more particularly to the character of | the day. Qn such a day as this, said he, we look upon the risen Christ as the emancipating spirit of the globe We study the causes in bistory of great changes, and we seem to think thatall the ehavges thathave affected the globe have had some direct re- lation to the will of man, But above all buman thought and human range there has been trom the beginning of time a course of influences; there has | diminish the evidence been a current in which nations have drifted not | knowingly; there has been, in other words, a divine purpose moving upon tue world and shaping the destinies of it and carrying things forward toward seme bright, millenial day. And Christ omy gave a name and a cvusatioa when He cam Himself the supreme emancipator t have seen moving through the pon of thedeep. Without going, however, inio its appli- cation to universal affairs let me, on sucha day as this, RING TH MATTER HOMK to you in a personal way. What 1s Christ, this emencipater, to yout What has He set you free trom? In what degre ou conscious that the Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ has ruled over you and cuabied you to rule over yoursell? When Paul went raging to Damascus under an inflamed con. science Wo see pride in its most malign form. When he had received ihe baptism vi the hely Ghost and his whole nature was sweciened by love of Jesus Christ, Wo see pride in its most beautitwl and charm- ing form. Paul might have said, “lL was in bondage to myeell; Lam made free trom the bondage of my pasionss 1 do not live by iny lower seit; the lite that now Jead ja the flesh 1s not the flesh tile; 1 hve by Jaith in the Son of God, who gave Himeelt for me”? Has there been any such trinmph of fais with you? Are you conscious that you have, made by your {aith in the Lord Jesus Christ such achievements as that you can say, “Christ hus been an em: tome?” Today in many a cathedral there will be Joud monthea justraments and and robed priests and ail symbolizauous, au Fe enthnsiasuic crowa will traiple beneath the nave, amd all will rejoice to celebrate this Sabbath of “Christ is risen”? will every form of floral emblem, men will congratne late each other and will give gilts, and I do not depar- age it; bu’, ab! there ts tu the eye gf God on such a Sab. bath as this something more nob!

The venerable pastor then read from Paul’s Epistie to the Romans, vi, 5—“For if wo have been planted together in the likeness’ of bis death, we shall be also in the likeness -of bis resurrection.” In | the course of bis remarks the preacher said:— Death and the resurrection are too olten quoted as | autagonistic, Nature passes through a contingous | series of death and new life, Philosophers hold that | nothing m nature ever utterly perisbex, but in its atoms and essences everything is indestructible and comes again ina new form.

BEY. DR. MORGAN DIX ON-THE RESURRECTION AND ITS LESSONS, ‘Tne Easter services at this church were conducted yesterday by Rev. Morgan Dix, D. D., the rector. It remained doubtful, until ten o’clock whether, the threat- seriously interfere with the stream of worshippers who wended their way to this noble pile, The element however, decided in their favor, Considerably before the time appointed for the opening of divine service, the church was filled im every part, A compact mass of anxious respectability besieged both the maip and side porches, many turning reluctantly away on ac™ count of the want of room. The darkening sky filled the church with what tho great architect, Pugin, termed ‘a dim, religious light,’? which threw into admirable relief the sanctuary, illuminated as it was by the many groups of tapers clus- tered on the two maguiticent Gothic candelabra stand- ing on either side of the altar, The floral decorations, which concealed the bases of the two col- umns of the apse, were in perfect taste and proportion, On the epistle side of the transept was a cone of white taberoses, in which was imbedded a crimson floral decorations, gave tho impression that the wethetics of floral art were a shade sinned against, Flowers thus treated always scem to be pleading for room and air. Mr, James BE, Aylifo had barely finished his Easter carols on the chimes, when the organ began to pour forth the sublime strains: of Mendeissohn’s sixth so- nata, under'the masterly fingers of Mr. Henry Carter. ‘This ended, the choir and officiating clergy emerged, in sow procession, from the sacristy, singing the pro- cessional hyn, No, 99, The service proper was opened with the anthem— Now is como salvation snd strength, the kingdom of our God and the power of his Christ. ‘Thereture rejot heavens and all that dwell therein. During that portion of the service which preceded the sermon, the ‘Kyrie, by Weber; the “Gloria Tin,” by Haydu, and tne **Nicene Creed,” by Weber, were sung by the choir, accompanied by the organ and an evideutly picked orchestra. The sermon—brief, but very able and telling—was preached by Rev, Morgan Dix. He preiuced it by “no text. Ae told his hearers that it was lis bappy office to salute them, on that morning, and to wish them all Joy im the glorious tidings of the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ from the dead. WHAT THE FEAST IMPORTS, * The feast was w-day, as ever, the greatest of all great days; the basis of our hope, the assurance that jor us there is another life beyond the grave, ‘We * the miracle which outdoes all others.

The tormer pictures the course of phis world; the latter is the reilection of another and higher stato. Friday exhibits man and the devils set free to do their work; the Lord’s day shows Jbrist setting right what had been thrown into confusion and horr- ble disorder. The one 1s hke an evening, the close of a storm; the other hke morning, tho morning of a clearing away.

THINGS THE STILLEST. He next dweit upon the great lesson that the resur- rection is to the world—viz., that the deepest things are the stillest; that the loud and noisy things are of this earth earthy; tnat where God ts there is quietness and caim. This age is one of perpetual commotion, of advertising, of blowing the trumpet upaad down. All this is utterly foreign to the way of God.

BROOKLYN TABERNACLE. THE LIFE AND DEATH OF A. T. STEWART— SERMON BY REY. T. DE WITT TALMAGR. The Brooklyn Tabernacle was crowded at the lore- hoon services yesterday, Alter the regular notices had been read Rey. T. De Witt Talmage preached, tak-. ing his text a3 follows, from Psalms, xlix., 16-18— “Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased; for when he dieth be shall carry nothing away; his glory shall not descend after him. Though while be lived he blessed his seal; and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thy- self.” The reverend gentieman said:—On last Mon- day, ag the business of the secular week was open- ing, und the cooled wheels of New York life ‘were warming up in their first revolution, a telegram startled Wall street, thrilled the bourse, was felt at Londop, Berlin and Vieuna and siuuned the commer. cal world, +A, ‘T. Stewart is dead.’’ If the mansion at Thirty-fourth street and Filth,avenue could not catl out the monster Death, neither cah you successiully resist Jum. If ail THE WEALTH OF STEWART, ASTOR AND THE ROTHSCHILDR had been put in one coin, and that com bad been | offered asa bribe, Death would have taken the coin and tossed it up in the palm of his band and then let it drop carciessiy through his skeleton fingers, crying out:—"*i don’t want that, I came for yuu,” and, rub- Ving his hands over the eyes they would close, and over the Jungs they would couse, and over the heart it would stop. “They that truss in their wealtb and boast themselves iu the multitude of their riches, pone of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom foy him that be should live for- ever and not see corruption.” **The wise man dieth and likewise the fool and the bratisn person and leave their wealth to otuers.’” I realized as never before, standing in the presence of that catalalque, that whep a man goes ito the bext world be cannot take his money with him, merchant prince carried not so much into the eternal world as he brought woea a young man from Ireland to this country. He has not so much money to-day as in those days when be was his own errand boy, book. keeper an’ salesman, and lived over his store and made one room do lor kitchen, bedroom and parlor, The debt of nature was s0 great that 1b took his $50,006,000 to pay it. it all tho old merchunts of New York that died twenty | years ago, having durig hie managed the wealth of that great city, sbould come back now, they could not, out of their present resources, get enotigh together to pay for a meal at Deimonico's.

A CARTMAN SHOOTS AND KILLS BIS EMPLOYER THE MURDER UNPROVOKED. John Forre!l, aged fitty years, a well known contrao- tor in the Twentieth ward, was shot and killed yestor- day morning at his residence, No. 519 West Twenty- eighth street, by John Tacife, one of his workmen. From al! that can be learned the shooting was unproe voked, Taeffe had been in the employ of Mr. Farroll for Oiteon years, having entered his. service when a boy of seventeen, He lived wita his wile and five children on the second floor of bis omployer’s resis dence, Of late he has been very unsteady and irregu. lar ta bis work, and, about a month ago, Mr, Farrell was obliged to discharge lim; bat be pleaded so hard that altor few days he was remstated, He was three months in arrears tor rent, and it was ar- ranged that a certain portion of his wages would be kept, back by his employer every Saturday until the account was settled, Last Saturday nighi, when Taeffe received his wages, he became indignant because tne full amount was not paid, and created some little disturb ance, No attention, however, was paid to him by Mr, Farrell, ‘The murder occurred a few minutes after nine o’clock yesterday morning. Thomas Farrell, a son of the deceased, was proceeding from his, room on the second floor to the basement when he was ac- costed by Taeife, who began using abusive and pro- fane Janguage toward him. Young Farrell retorted, and loud and angry words ensued. Hearing the disturbance, John Furrell, Jr., aged twenty yeara, Dastened up stairs to the aid of his brother. As he reached the top Taei/e turned upon him, aud grasping him by the coat tried to throw bim. Tho noise of the scuffle attracted the attention of the deceased, who hurried up stairs to ascertain the trouble. He quickly got between bis son and Tacffe and separated them, Taeffe then re-entered his room and the Farrells pro- ceeded down stairs, ine two sons in advance, the father in the rear. By tue time the former were on the tirst landing the latter was still near the top. At this mo- suite ap ment Taeffe camo out of his room with a pistol! in his band and fired at Mr. Farrell. The ball took effect in his Jeft side, a little below the heart. Tho wounded man uttered a cry and fell. He was carried to his room by his sons and a physician summoned, who pronounced him fatally wounded. Officer Murat, who was in the neighborheod, @as notified aud burried 40 the scene, Accompanied by Thomas Farrell he demanded admis- sion into Taciie’s room. The murderer, after some lay, admitted them. When arrested he remarkea, “I didn’t mean 1t tor him.”’ Ho was then taken belore the dying man. The officer asked the latter if he identified the prisoner as tne person who had shot him, A faint movement of the hand and a moan were the only response. Dr. Griswold soon, however, succeeded: in raily:ng the patient, who looked into the prisoner's face for a moment and feebly said, ‘Yes, he shot me; John Taeffe shot me.” In filteen minutes afterwa Farrell was dead, t The prisoner was searched, bat the officer could not find the pistol upon him. hen asked what be had done with it he replicd, ‘I don’t know.’? Taeffo was thon taken to the Twentieth precinct station house and locked up. Subsequently Otticer Kilke searched his apartments and found the weapon concealed under the mattress of the bed. The chambers were empty and the pivot was gone. The pistol is a small sevem shooter. Shortly after his arrest, and before intelligence of the death of Farrell reached the police, the prisoner was tuken to the Washington Place Polico Court. As: the officer was making the charge of felonious’ assault against him a telegram from Captain Washburn was handed in announcing the death Farrell diréct- ing the prisoner to be brought back to the sation house to await the avtion of the Coroner.
