It is well to keep a serene temper in trying ciroum- stances, and when inclined to be wroth to whisper, A. moral, sensible and well bred man ‘Will not affront me, and no other can, It is @ vast deal easier to criticise and denounce the Teligious systems that exist than to construct one which will better answer the purposes of life. Infidels make great capital in finding fauit with some parts of the Old Testament and proving conciusively that the chronology of the New is incorrect; but when they Dave done they are like the man who sat on the branch of a tree and sawed it off, for not only tho branch, but the man also, gets © bad fall, A doubt is very like Poe’s raven, and the hour comes, sooner or later, whon ak from out my heart, and take thy mn off my door! Quoth the Under the quaint title, ‘Cats and Dogs,” the Chris- tian Union has a very sensible article on the sectarian spirit which still keeps religious people apart. Mr. Moody said in a sermon that he would not go across the street to make any man a member of a particular church, but would compass the earth to make a man aChristian. When churches get over quarrelling and settle down to the hard work of converting souls they will forget their differences. Whon we work for this Church or that we are simply Presbyterians or Motho- dists, but when we work for Christ we become brethren. In one of the religious papers 1s a poem which is more remarkable for its good sense than for its rhythm. A minister complains to a pedier (it must have been a pedier of the ancient time, not one of hat class that carry bundles on their backs through country villages now) that the spiritual life in his parish Isat alow ebb, The pedler, like a magician, asks for an old pair ot the minister’s pantaloons, They are brought, and the poor preacher Is sud- denly discomMted by this exclamation, which sounds re, behold! as Iam born, neither knee is worn, the lever prayer suppl When pastors knee! their churches rise, If one would learn how revivais are promoted let him read the autobiography of Finney. His sermons tock very little of nis time. He did not care to be either popular of eloquent. He went from house to house, giving a personal invitation to every mother to come to Christ and to bring all her children with ber. He went also into the lawyer's office, Bible in hand, and told the good news tnere, and then into the blacksmith’s shop, and talked of re- ligion while the sledgo hammer came down on the hot iron and made the sparks fly, and then into the shoe- maker’s shop, where he sat down on a rickety chair and preached salvation. When evening camo the church was crowded, of course. Everybody saw that the man was in earnest, and wanted to hear him further, His wonderful success wes the result of per- sistent labor. A little of that sort of spirit in our own time would produce a like effect, But it is not the fashionable way of dispensing Christianity, and hence the complaints about dulness and want of life in our churches, Warm up tho pulpit and you warm up the world, Dull, half-believe sermons, with large salaries | promptly paid, and an unlimited amount of cossetsing, make heavy times for religion, Acolor line has been developed among the Metho- dists, They think it wisor to have two sets of confer- ences than to bring Africa and America together on | the same religious platform. If the, cuticle had been colored by the inventive gentus of msn this would be well enough, but since the various tints of the human face divine are the Lord’s work why can’t we say that a Christian is a Christian and a brother, whether he is whi'e.or black? Mr. Bowen has atlast been expelled from Plymoath church. Nothing is now left except to tell the whole | truth, If he cannot or will not tell the bottom facts of this intricate case, not into the ear of a chosen referee, but into the genoral ear of the public, his position will be an unenviable one. With the disgrace of expulsion restiog on him silence should be an impossibility. No matter who becomes involved, the truth, plain and un- varnished, with names and dates attached, should be told. Otherwise the cheekmate of excommunication remains in force, . It will hardly do to keep still in order to save tho reputation of any one, when by keeping still he loses his own reputation. What a pity itis, since there is the most egregious lying some- | where, that the public indignation, instead of being Preciousness of God's Thoughts” and in the evening | Scattered over halt adozen suspected lives, cannot be concentrated on the one on which it ought to fall! On looking over the various conferences that are be- ing held we find that there are Reformed Presbyterian, Reformed Dutch and Reformed Episcopalian churches, What does this mean? Is the Church bad, that it needs to be reformed? If it is, why not leave it and go back to the New Testament? We have heard of re- formed drunkardgand reformed thieves, but isn’t it a little singular that should have a reformed church? And what is to become of those churches which cling to their evil ways and refuse to be reformed? The Bermudas invite the strenuous labors of some of our temperance advocates, It is said, on good author- ity, that while $700,000 are spent annually tor intox- wating drinks, only $2,500 are expended for public education. The islands are beautiful, having a popula- tion numbering 12,000, of whom more than 7,000 aro colored. It is a curious fact that when service was bo. ing held on the steamer and hymn books were calied for the whites failed to produce a single copy, while the colored people fumbled im their pockets and brought forth enough of the Moody and Sankey book to supply the crowd. Boston has at last waked up to the fact that Mr, Moody has Jeit New York, and has just passed a reso- Jution to the effect that it would do the New Engiand people no harm to listen to a few of his plain talks, The Athens of America is not on'y behindband in her movements, but in inviting the great evangelisiwe she has made a confession of weakness which wo never ex- pected to hoar from that quarter. It used to be said in the olden days, when tho city was in ite spirivual prime, that the man who was born in Boston needed not to be born again. But since the advent of such ad- venturesome youth as the boy Pomeroy and such moral obliquity as Piper shows a sober second thought has suggested the propriety of calling upon some one to read and explain the doctrines of the New Testa- ment It is said that Brown, sexton of Grace church, has been the means of paying off the debt of a chapel in Branford, Conn. Since this report appeared he has been approached by several churches in this city who would be very glad to get a sexton who not only looks after the congregation on Sunday but after the interest on the mortgage all the rest of the wook. It ts easy to make good resolutions, but hard to keep them, When we are taken sick wo determine that it ‘we recover wo will mend our ways; but when wo get woil again old paths reassume their fascination and ‘we fall into them as castly asa wagon into the ruta.

There was, however, a little transaction in tho earhor history of the race, concerning which no poet has sung, and in which she occapied a prominent part not quite so commendable. We forget that apple story, though, and feel that she has not only redeemed her lost honor but left the descendants of the other sex far in the background. The Methodists are getting somewhat excited over the Centennial, The two causes of disturbance are, | first, the probability that the great Exhibition will bo kept open on Sunday, and second, that liquor is sold on the premises. Perhaps {t would be proiitable to exhibit to the people of Europe, Asia and Africa a specimen of a genuine American Sabbath, It would certainly bo the greatest curiosity of their lives. It might be well for our distinguished guents to leave tho European Sunday behind and indulge in the laxury of a day of quiet and reat.

As to the sale of liquor, if we pro- hibit that we shall create a great if not a fatal surprise, It the plethoric Teuton and the volatile Frenchman are compelled to walk or ride three or four miles in a July day every time they get thirsty the whole Exhibition might just as well be called a gymnasium, and tho amount of walking that will be accomplished in a given time will put Weston to tne blush and rob us of all our national laurels in the fleld of pedestrianism, Wo shall find that the heads of departments have ‘just stepped out"? whenever we call for them. The avenues will be filled, but the rooms will be empty, However, the experiment may be worth trying, THE PRESBYTERIAN GENERAL AS8- SEMBLY. THE BROOKLYN SUNDAY SCHOOL PARADE—PROB- ABLE ADJOURNMENT OF THE ASSEMBLY TO WITNESS IT. After the devotional exercises yesterday a motion to Teconsider the vote by which the invitation of the Brooklyn Sunday School Union to witness the parade of 60,000 children on Wednesday next was deciined on Friday. -A vote was taken, but it lacked the two-thirds tocarry. A motion was then made to postpone the order of the day for Wednesday, which is the day fixed two years ago for the ounsideration of foreign mis- sions, Strong arguments were made on both sides of the question by Messrs, Coan, Cutcheon, Bparaman, North, Talmadge and others, Mr, Cutcheon, of De- troit, had known the Assembly to adjourn for merely excursions and visits to certain places of interest, aud he did not see any better reason for such adjournments than for that now asked. Their constituents expect them to manifest an interest in Sunday school intor- ests, and would call them to account if they should ignore this occasion to look into the workings of the Sunday schools in Brooxlyn, Dr. Talmage, chairman of the Committee of Ar- rangements, declared that this Sunday school day is the day of days tor Brooklyn; that it is equal to half a dozen Fourths of suly rolled ito one; that the rattling of drums and sinving of the children and marchirg through tho streets would prevent any bus- ness being done by the Assembly, whose members from this section of country are all engaged in Sunday school work. And of course the country delegates will want to see a sight which they may never see again, ‘ho arguments against adjournment were based upon e IMPORTANCE OF THE FORRIGN MISSION INTEREST and the press of business; but after voting and coun- ler voting, laying on the tabie aud reconsidering such action, the Asseimbiy came around again to where it had been and made the loreign missiun cause the subject tor consideration on Wednesday morning, with the un- derstanding that thoy Would adjourn in good season to attend the Sunday school anniversary aud parade and vake up their regular business in the evening of that ay. ‘The consideration of the Freedmen Committeo’s re- port was made the order of the day for Friday next and that of the Publication Committee tor Thuraday. ‘The records of synods were passed over to committees vo be examined.

Prime, the chair of that committee, announced ‘that Dr. Beadlo had already gone te that city to make arrangements with the Chairman of the Commissiun for tho reception of the Assembly's committee; bu as the Witherspoon monument is to be unveried ue: week on the Centennial grounds, and the Assembiy will be invited to attend that ceremony, they might, as & committee of the whole, at the same time meet the Centennial Commission about the Sabbath closing matter. THE BOARD OF HOME MISSIONS and Sustentation presented their annual report, which shows that during the past year the Board had 1,035 missionaries employed in thirty-five States and Terri- tories, and that under their ministry 6,490 have been added 'to the Church by projession of faith and 3,885 by letter, Two hundred and ten new Sabbath schools have been organized, making 1,319 altogether undor the care of the Board Inthese schools 89,200 chil- dren are gathered aod taught.

She won one soul in the shape of a husband, a Wesleyan missionary, and, of course, now labors with her husband in his mission, The Presbyterians aro greatly embarrassed, but the missionaries propose to repay the Presbyterian Mission Board the expense incurred in sending Miss Galbraith out, and then the Board can Jook around for a successor, Meantime, however, their mission, which ‘was « new one, suffers, Rev. Duke ©. Ormsby, a clergyman of tho Protestant Episcopal Church, applied recently for admission to the Prosbytery of St. Louis, and after a satisfactory exami- ation was admitted and his name placed on the roll. The Presbytery of Now York has been remarkably successtul during the past ecclesiastical year; 1,890 have been added to the churches, an increase of 427 over the previous year.

EXCITEMENT AMONG THE COMPANIES—RAIL- WAY OFFICIALS’ VIEWS ON THE QUESTION— THEY REFER TO OUR WRETCHED STREETS AND THE EXTORTIONS OF HACKMEN. Tho important question agitated by the Common Council, whether the railroads operating ferries between New York and Jersey City are doing so in violation of equity and law, seems to have croated considerable alarm among the great corporations directly interested, It will be remembered that in his lengthy opinion to the Council Mr. George Ticknor Curt!s distinctly vised that ‘a vessel employed by a railroad company is not less a ferryboat because it is owned by a corpora- tion having depots on opposite sides of a river and en- gaged in transporting passongers and freight across the intervening water,” Yesterday Mr, John Taylor John- son, of the New Jersey Central Railroad, which seemed directly menaced, gave it as his opinion that, as their company charged no fare or forriage for the river transportation, the city could not claim that they were running a ferry, Yet it appears from the investigation of a HERALD reporter that some of the companies have already proposed to pay a percentage of two and one-half per cent to the city on all the pas- | songers carried, instead of a specific amount, as at present. In this, of éburse, such great transportation companies as the Pennsylvania Central and Erie are greatly interested, and the subject receives excited at- tention from them, Yesterday the writer called on Mr, George R, Blanch- ard, the Second Vico President of the Erio Railway Company, in order to ascertain whether the road had received any notification from the city of a chango in rogard to their forry privileges. Mr. Blanchard stated | that not only had the company not received any inti- mation of the kind from tho city, but all their leases had recently been renewed, It was a pity, he thought, that the subject of ferry leases should be agitated at this time; everything should be dono to foster trade and help the companies having their great entrepots in New York, instead of cbarrassing them and adding to their burdensome taxes AS to the steamer Maryland transporting passengers from Mott Haven to the Penn- sylvania depot in Jersey City, he did not think this was & momentous affair, and New York has the remody for this avoidance of the metropolis in her own hands, “Look at the condition of the streets! That is an answer tothe desire for people to pass around New York and not through it. Why they nrea DISGRACE TO A CIVIAIZKD GOVERNMENT, A gentieman told me the other day they wero not worse in Constantivople The cab extortion the Hxwatp has so vigorously opposed should not | Be lost sight of. We take passengers over seventy-five miles of the Erie road in splendid cars ata high rate of speed ataless fare than a man | can hire acab to go one mile through the city of New York, No wonder people whose tine and means are limited will pass around it while these conditions exist. ”? In rogard to the oxpense of handing freight in Now York Mr, Blanchard did not at present desire to speak, Dut another officer gave some figures which showed that the expense of moving freight in New York city was a vory large item, and by no means to be despised in the consideration of an economical management of ‘the road, Mr, Clark, the General Manager of the Now England Transportation Company, has his office in Boston, but he told a HekaLp reporter that be could not conceive that the Board of Aldermen would interfere with tho transportation of through New England passengers to | Jersey City, as they were clearly within tho law and | wero operating under one of the Montgomery chur- | ters—that 1 arter issued by Governor Montgom- | ery—and under which many of the old companies are | now doing business and are not running a ferry. But | this 1s met vy the legal opinion to the Board of Alder- men “that the definition of a ferry iberty by pre- | scription, or the King’s grant to have a boat for pas- | sage upon a river for carriages, horses or men for rea- sonable toll, and the distinction of a vessel that is used A letter from Key West, Fla, to tho Catholic Re- view, reports what that journal considers u sad state of moral delinquency in ‘‘a community Catholic by baptism, ff not by training.”’ A mission was recently conducted there for the Cuban residents; but only ono man and fifty women and children cared to the sacraments.

Catholic energy displays itself in a varicty of ways, but in charch building that Church shows more vigor than any other. In New York, wh the failure of Protestantism has been proclaimed time and again, the Catholic Church is constantly breaking ground and devising new expeditions, Next Sunday the Right Rev. Bishop Loughlin, of Brooklyn, will take the placo of Cardinal McCloskey, who is recuperating in Newark, NJ, e coremony of blessing the corner stone of Stu Agu church, in East Forty-third street.
