The Duties of Patience and Faithfulness Discussed by Rev. John Hall. OR. DIX ON SELF-DISCIPLINE,. PLYMOUTH CHURCH. INDIVIDUAL CONCEPTIONS OF GOD—MR. BEECHER WANTS MEN TO BE LIFTED ABOVE THE CARES OF LIFE BY THEIR PRIDE AS SONS’ OF GOD, Most of the strangers who occupied pews in Plymouth church yesterday were evideutly trom “tho provinces,” and no doubt were making the visit to Mr. Beecher’s a feature of their trip to the big show at Philadelphia. The subject of the sermon was the de- velopment through faith of a higher manhood in Cbrist and a consciousness of, and pride in, our being tons of God, such as shall lift us above the petty cares of this transient life. For his text Mr. Beecher read from Hebrews—*By faith he forsook Egypt, not fear- ing the wrath of tho king; for he endured as seeing bim who 1s invisibie.’’ These words, the preacher explained, were spoken of | Moses, perhaps the most remarkable figure in anti- Tracing the romantic life of Muses from the tiie bo lay amid the bulrushes till he became a mem- ber ofthe royal household Mr. Beecher dwelt upon the fact that the prophet never forgot his humble origin or the people from whom he sprung. The man, said he, who comes to greatness and who 1 ashamed of his fathor, mother or brethren is a man whom nothing can make great or noble—be is essentially mean, Moses, for the sake of bis kind, renounced al! that men usually week for and went into tho wilderness amid » people who wero substantially barbarians At eighty years of age he assumed the legis- lative, constructive and judicial cares of the great horde of his countrymen. His patienco and endur- ance, being by nature fery and impetuous, was one of the marvels of time. And it was worthy of being re- counted in the Word of God how he became for forty years so patient. “He endured as scoing him who is mvisible.”” It was the sense of God present with him that gave him that power. ‘Tho preacher called attention to the fact that he en- dured “as”? seeing God, not because be actually saw Him. Nobody, ho added, can see God. He is to evorybody but an idea, It an idea, too, which we fashion in our own mind and project into some ex- ternal form; for, the preacher held, every man in this Hite mast put into form anything which be distinctly conceives of. The mode of iorming that idea makes the difference between barbarians, semi-civilized and Civilized men all the way up. ALL YORM THE GOD THEY WORSHIP; some by one method and sume by another; some with higher materials representing the elements of thought and beauty—that is the Greek; some with moral quali- ties and dispusitional affections representing the true Christian cunception ot God, not magisterial, but pa- rental, as if paternity itself was the highest conception | of which the human mind 1s capable, and as if, under the element of divine paternity, justice, power and law rank themselves as subordinate; love being the highest, and parental love the noblest, conception, and ull moral quality inhering in the supreme, superlative idea ot love—an idea yot struggling for birth into human life, not yet born or grown, We have, too, the preacher continued, a sense of per- sonality. If we are to have a God, be said, that is to be of use to us He must be a person, for though there be some minds which can conceive of a Pantheistical God it does not come home to men. We surround the person with attributes, and the latter will depend upon what we have been taught to ascribe to the notion of the supremest good. We form the idea of personality, group around it certain attributes, give to it a scops ot government, and we add to this a disposition. Though these are bused on wise instruction, yet in the process fusing them each man wiil color and shape by his nhotion and experience what that Being ts whois de up of attributes, who has functions and bears a position, Nor is’ it probable that we ever como arer together in this matter than the generic idea. we could throw upon a screen, as objects in science thrown and magnitied, the real conception that eac! Christian man forms of God it is not probable that t would come nearer together than the generic. Speci- | fically they would differ one from another, as one man does from another man, ‘This Being is repre- sented to us as compassing the universe—as having scope that is simply immeasurable, The element of time, Mr. Beecher said, as well as Scope of being, must needs belong and does belong to our inherent couception of God, From eternity to eternity God is. The preacher, to show the course of Moses own mind in this matter, read largely from the palms in which the eternity of God is illustrated, IT WAS IN SUCH A CONCEPTION OF GoD as this, the preacher said, that Moses dwelt, and the fffect of constant compavionship with such a Being was to clothe himself with such power as has seldom deen vouchsafed to man, uever probably in administra. jive realms, Its effect was to fill bém with a mighty Donception of the majesty of God and to make him con- Biderave in the use of the power he held. A strong confidence and trust in God was also begotten in him. He Icoked up, and day by duy through the years he felt that God was bis companion, tis counsellor, his strength. Great things, the preacher said, had more power for sorrow or joy than small things. But these wore rela- tive terms only hike rich and poo: What would be considered prison fare under ordinary circumstanecs would be regarded as a luxury fa man were starving. Ope man thinks himself rich with $1,000, while another looks upon himself as a beggar with $10,000, This relativity of affairs exercises its sway and domin- fon on every side in every relation of human Hite, Men only indistinctly conceive how it affects them, for it has really more to do with joy and sorrow than ‘most any other clement in life. Mr. Beecher ended bis sermon with a fervent and eloquent exhortation to his people to develop in their souls a high standard, by wh.cl) to measure the events of this world; to regard the affairs of this Itie not as the only ones in which they were to figure, but as simply auxiliary ; to live for the life to come.’ The events of this world, he said, constitutd tho glass that takes the portrait, while tne latter is flashed beyond imto the ether life where every man’s portrait is perfected. Wen, he said, ouzht to be larger in that pride which God inspires and which should carry men above the petty troubles and affictions that make the wear and Vear of human Ite, FIFTH AVENUE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. THE DUTIES OF PATIENCE AND TRUSTFULNESS— SERMON BY THE REY. JOHN HALL. Psalms, xxxvii, 7—‘‘Rest in the Lord and wait pa- tently for bim."’ John, xiii, 7~“Jesus answered and said unto lim, What 1 do thou knowest not now, bat jhou shalt know hereafter.” From these combined dassages of Scripture Rev. John Hall delivered his die wourse yesterday morning. He observed that the join- ng of these quotations from different portions of the Bible bring together the utterances of David, the in- spired psalmist, and of the son of David, who spoke as wever man spake. Certain truths that came betore us in the Bible often present themselves to us ina disa- greeable light; they are so much above the reach of our common nature that it is as if there were a great yulf fixed between them and us, and in our highest aspirations we can never cease to remember that wo wre but finite creatures, We must always be content with the limitations imposed tpon ous «(by 68 §6power §«omightier§ «than = our. selves, the power that says to all human effurt ‘‘thus far shalt thou come and no farther;’’ that is not induced by narrow jealousy, out has its founda- tion in the wisdom of God, the Creator, Yet we are Impatient; we murmurand cren sometimes question tho Judge Himselt, and daro demand the reasons why sertain things should come to pass. Now, when we do Vhis, the words of the psaimist should come bome to Bs with all their jorce:—“Kest in the Lord, and wait ’ He may be, in the words of Jesus, ing tl we do not understand. When Christ spoke thus to Peter in answer to bis murmuring, He not inepd to distinguish Bo arrogance. done, impulsivery , he was shocked at what appeared to him to ve the woseemly humility of bis Master, and said, ‘Thou shalt never wash my feet’ Jesus bad said to bim, not yet, but by and by thou sbalt koow thy own heart better and know the mystery hidden in My act. The same teaching is given to us io the ot the psaimist, and the lesson may not seem po hard ii you simply compare 1 with the course taken ar parents or instructors in your earl: wes yA soot They did not think of giving you ¢ THR WHY OR WHEREPORE OF EVERY ATRE taken by them in forming your mind, por did you ask of What use were the tiresome preliminaries to many | | | NEW YORK ot your studies, Now you can see their necessity, ail understand why you were compelled to go through them, Was it unreasonable of your parents to ce- mand those tasks of you, or would you be cruel to compel your children to undertake them? Last autumn, when the leaves and grass were falling | tion had not made us ed with the coming spring, what terror would have extered into our souls! But we know that the hand of God is at work in all the processes of nature, and ve can only stand still and trust Him. We sow the seed in the spring time, and it Appears lost forever; bat we wait for the harvest, and acco ding to the laws of nature we are repaid an hundred fold. God's creatures do not comprehend what He 1 doing with them; they can only wait and see, and in many instances the ignorance in us isa link in the chain of Divine Providence. ifthe great inventors and sohomers for the advancement of the human race in knowledge could have foreseen the difficultics that beset their paths they might have recoiled from their tasks and stayed the march of civilization for years. The grand lesson of pationce is all im all; we can but wait, be still and trust in God, TRINITY CHURCH. “‘SELE-DISCIPLINE AND THE CORRECTION OF OUR FAULTS”—SEBMON BY REV. DR, MORGAN DIX. ‘ “He that believeth shall not make haste,” furnished Rey. Dr. Morgan Dix, of Trinity church, the text for an impressive discourse yestorday on ‘‘Self-discipline and the Correction of Our Faults.’ He stated that faith is ono of the best giftsof Godto mau, With God there is no such thing as haste; it bolongs ex- Pressly to men. Between God’s work and man’a work there is this difference—that God takes His own time to work out His own good purposes, while we are al- | way aburry. God never makes baste; there aro twelve hours each day with us in which we strive to do great things, God’s time isa never-ending day, These thoughts suggest the neveasity for self-disci- pline and the correction of our faults. Men hear God say, “Blessed are thoy who hunger and thirst atter | righteousness, for they shall be filled’? They thirst after this righteousness and expect itatonce. They gre in a hurry; they think that to-morrow or within. a week at least it will be fulfilled, but when they find they do not get it they become impatient. God promises tor give us it, but He does not say when His promise will be {uifilled, ‘This habit of impatience, the rector showed, was nat- ural to man, and he characterized the religionists who tell sinners that God will change them in the twinkling ot an oye as calculated to increase the impatience of men and cause them to lose faith in God’s holy prom- ises, There are men who promise to teach us French and German 1m twelve lessons. Just so we are prom- ised by some religionists great spiritual changes at once. In the twinkling of au eye THK SINNER I8 TO BR SAVED, * Do God’s works and bide His time to make His works manifest. Now @ mad cannot have faith who isin haste. You wantto master something; you become impatient; you do not succeed quick enough; you think you are going to fall; you distrust yourself and your jaith declines. If you had faith you could wait. You grow furious and excited, Apply ihese principles | to spiritaal things and the cure of your faults. God’s grace, be it remembered, is sufficient to cure all discases of the soul, Your faith in Him and His grace must bo firm.. All a man must do is to pat | bis faith in God's promises. What a man wants done in twenty minutes God may take twelve years to work out, Man must just take things quietly aod net make haste. Sin is the malady, grace the cure. The cure will come without hurrying. Impatienco is as much a sign of decreasing faith as a parched tongue ard a hot skin is an evidence of the presence of the fever in the system. When you become impatient you doubt God’s power. Wo you doubt His promises’ Then WHY ARK YOU DISCOURAGED? Why spoak of God's de'ay? If you believe in Him, why be in haste and aburry? If you wish to be cured show that you have faith in Him. They that endure to tho last will somowhere have their reward. Look at it 8 you will, t! tience, Real, ani ges come very slowly, and as you strive against sin not one of you knows how hard his heart is until he looks into it, He secs what he did not seo belore; he feels what ho did not feel before. Now, let us go to work, not hastily, but slowly, with full h in His promises. With patience we are, brethron, sure of beating our spiritual enemy at the last. CHURCH OF THE DIVINE PATERNITY. WHERE IS YOUR YAITH ?—SEBMON BY THE REV. DE. CHAPIN. | At the Church of the Divine Paternity, corner of Forty-nfth street and Fifth avenue, yesterday forenoon Dr. Chapin preached on faith. The congregation, owing no doubt to the heat, was nota very large one, Dr. Chapin took for his text Luke viii., 25—‘And ho said unto them, where its your faith?” These wero | Christ's words on being awakened by His disciples in their alarm while sailing with Him during a storm on the Sea of Galilee. This narrative, said Dr. Chapin, | often gives rine to criticism of the disciples’ faith in some such wise as this:—‘“We would not have doubted,”’ or “Did they not know that He whom they carried was competent to save?” But such sur- prise at this apparent indication of | the eople | can criticise after an event. We know that the dis- | ciples had no reason to fear, but then, it is fair to ask, | would we in their places have shown greater or less faith? People are not all subject to the same tests, or, more properly, that which would be a test for one man’s faith would be none of another's. Therefore, in order to gauge our own faith we should consider how we would meet our own peculiar tests, not how we would have met those that tried ethers sorely. But, continued the preacher, THERE ARK TURER CONDITIONS OF FAITH to which I would call your attention—the object of your faith, the nature of your faith and the readiness of your faith. First, what is it upon waich you omphati- cally rely? Speaking of this point Dr. Chapin said that there is scarcely any man who bas not faitn in something. Sceptics, it is true, say that faith is very gooa in its place, or that they will not believe aught that they canuot sec, and others speak of faith | as though it were put in the plave of works. But they are entirely distinct, notwithstanding that there can be no good works without faith. Again, no man lives ‘in absolute sceptic.sm, for he who believes in life as it without anything ind it, has more credulity than he who believes im the ideal. The must genuine object of a man’s faith i that for which he sacritices the most. Christians show by therr lives, and the martyrs did by their deaths, their faith in an unseen reality, and practical men are the mon who mako the ideal the real. A mat acts will also indicate bis faith. Speaking of the nature of faith, Dr. Chapin condemned traditional, liberal and formal faith. To bo usetui and good, faith should be reasona- ble, he thought, for truc faiti is founded on reason, and | men of faith are the men who moved and will ever | move the world. Then a man’s faith should be worn 80 a8 to bo a safeguard agal iden surprises. And the true Christian should always bave his faith availa- ; ble mm tho hour of temptation and other emergencies, These three conditions of faith were necessary, and im- pliea, in the words of the text—‘'W here is your faith?” CHURCH OF TH DISCIPLES. LAYING UP TREASURES IN HEAVEN-—-SERMON BY REV. GEORGE HEPWORTH. Avery large congregation assembled in the Church Of the Disciples yesterday morning. In reading the notices Mr. Hepworth said:—‘‘I have acted under the advice of the wisest men. Our debt over and above the $100,000 was $90,000, which it seemed impossible for us to carry. After a great deal of exertion we have discovered the hopeful and pleasing fact that if you will raise about $30,000 we can secure this building and land to ourselves and our children, The organization will be anencumbered except by a debt we can easily carry and which we shall try to pay off, It all depends upon ourselves. Within the next sixty days it 1s abso. lutely necessary that I should have $30,000, If there are fifty people who will purchase pews the thing is accomplished. T e this triamphantly because I be- hove it will be perfectly easy ,to raise this amount of money. Wo have never calied on you before for any- thing except our current expenses, but we vow call on you for all youcan spare. I have stood by this movement since its inception and I have sacrificed everything for it, and I am willing to stand by it if you wiil stand by me, but I cannot go on alone.”’ The reverend gentleman then preached a very earnest sermon, taking for his text Matthew, vi, 19, 20, 21—"lay not up for yourselves treas- ures upon earth, where moth and rust doth cor- Tupt and thieves break through and steal, but lay up for yourscives treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust corrupt nor thieves break through and | steal, For where your treasure is there will your heart be algo.” The advice of Christ, said the preacher, is always equivalent tothe command of God. Indeed. apy statement of truth invoives and jaciulles moral obligation, If 1 tel: you, with an authority that satisiles you of its correctness, that in a certain portion of the city is danger, you would be moro than foolish to go through it Ii wo were climbing @ mountain together, and I should tell you and show you tbat I know what I am speaking about, that a cer- tain path unirequented but one which you have ex- pressed a desire to enter upon is fraught with perils which may engulf you at any moment, there is a cer- ‘ain moral obligation contained in my statement of this fact, and you are bound to search for the path which will lead you safely,“and to avoid with great caution and prudence apy and every way concerning Now let mo speak to you i moment about a little bit of financial economy. It has been my babit once hile to take my position tor a ball-tour in some 's office. 1 havo waiched you very closely and bave tried to get Into the motives that prompt you to do this or that, and I have discovered one or two things which I think it would be well to apply not only to your business rejations with men but in your relations with God.

Why not apply these general rules of POLITICAL KCONOMY to matters of spiritual lile? You camnot be the first man who has done it, because in the first sermon ever preached Christ established the spiritual policy of the world on the world’s common sense. Suppose you invest your powers in this world, what do you get? You putall your heart into your work. You receive nothing beyond the present, practically ; theoretically you may. You want money; you get it. There is money fo! ling to sacri- flee enough for it. Well, money does it give you happiness? I think not. Your ery is for more, and more tt shall be, Now you want honor, Well, what comes after that? Does it give a satisfaction that is lasting? What comes noxt? Old age creeps on you. Men may respect you, but Time does not. Time is an autocrat who does mot caro how much you have or what your position is, You cannot bribe bim nor coax him; he must and will have his own why literally and absolutely. The time comes when you must dio; how about your investment moment after you havo died? ‘I take it you have put your treasures whore Jesus told you pot to put them. You have put your treasures in a bank that has come out bankrupt, and on the other side you start a beggar. BROOKLYN TABERNACLE. THE FINAL SERVICES OF THE SEASON—-THE GREAT\WORK OF THE LAST TWO YEARS, Services were held at the Brooklyn Tabernacle yes- terday for the Inst time prior to the departure of Mr. Talmage on his summer vacation. After the morning service fitty-flve new members wore formally received, making a total of 1,052 since tho erection of the new Tabernacle, a tittle over two years ago, While making his announcements in the morning Mr. Talmage said that, owing to tho ill-healthot Mr. B. R. Corwin, the gentleman would resign his position as trustee, and an election would be held to Gl the vacancy on next Thursday evening, He could not let the opportunity pass without giving some testimony as to Mr. Corwin’s services in behalf of the Tabervacic, He thought that tho congregation would bear him out in tho regret whiob he felt that Mr. Corwin should be obliged to re- sign, on account of ill-health, his position as trustee. He had never witnessed such zeal, devotion and conse- cration as had been shown by him in the up-building of this churen, and they all hoped that Mr. Corwin would be completely restored to health, and return with his old vigor to the service of Christ and the churen. Mr. Talmage preached briefly from the text, “Thou shalt observe the feast of the tabernacies seven days,” the sermon being appropriate to tne principal service of the day—tho celebration of the holy sacrament. He thought this was an occasion of great interest, be- cause it commemorated a death scene. The death scene to which he alluded was a peculiar ope. Jesus might have walked in the gardens that sloped to the sea. Instead of being tossed in the fisherman’s boat he might have gone across the lake in beautiful sun- ine, Instead of being howled at by the unwashed rabble he might have charmed sanbedrims with his eloquence, But no! It was a sacrifice, and, therefore, it must be tortarc—tho good for the bad, the kind for the hateful, ¢he loving for the hard hoarted, the divine for the haman, He had been Ugh of only one crime—the crime of saving the world. Was thore ever such acriminal? Was thero ever such a crime? Another constderation, giving tenderness to tho occa- sion that morning, was that it was arounion. On other Sabbath days, perhaps, there micht be something like caste, dividing one class of ple from another, although they professed to be Christians; but, on com- munion day, they came on one platform, sat at one table, made one confession and anticipated one heaven. It was also, tho proacher said, a day of reoruit, If only one soulcame and announced his faith in the Lord Jesus Christ it would be a matter of congratulation on cartli and in heaven; but, when the aisles of the church would be crowded with men and women for the firat ume PROPESSING THEIR FAITH IN CHRIST, who could count the doxologies ot earth and heaven? Another thought, giving great interest to this occasio! was the sacred assaciations that clustered all roun' about it Their minds went back from this com- muuion table to their childhood, when they eat in church while their parents partook of the holy sacra- ment, How sacred all these associations have becomo,” The fact thatit was a confessional likewise gave great interest to this occasion. There was.a time when they prided themselves on their honor, and if a man should have suggested apy frailty in them they would have re- sented it; but now they were willing to confess them- selves ae beforeGod. As they stood in the pres- ence o ‘ THIS GREAT SACRIVICK, and remembered that Curist, in His last hour, asked them for His service, and then thought of what a lite they had lived, 1f there Were one place moro humn- bie than another they ought to take it, and if there were one confession more bitter than another they Ought toexpress it, In conclusion, Mr. Talmaze said that this service wasan anticipative one. They were not going to tarry in .this world a great while, but the grave was no place for them to stay in. The rad of the resurrection would HERALD, MONDAY, JUNE 26, 1876—WITH THE UNIVERSITY EIGHIS. The Yale and Harvard Orews at Practice. THE RACE NEXT FRIDAY. SprixGrreip, Mass., Juno 24, 1876, ‘The race tobe rowed on the Connecticut at four o’clock on Friday afternoon promises to be one of tho foremost in interest and real znerit among the very uo- usually numerous and interesting contests of this year, 1876. If it proves successful, and it now seems likely to, it will inaugurate anew era in American rowing, and will establish among our stadents exactly the same system of rowing and race which has been in vogue among the Oxford’ and Cambridge University men since they first met in friendly rivalry at Henley on the 10th of Jane, 1329. Not that there has not been racing in eights here, for in the first race between Yale and Harvard on Lake Winnipiseogee in August, 1852, Yale sent two cight-oared barges, the Undine and Hal- cyon, while Harvard won in the Oneida. When they next met, however, in 1855, and by the way right here at Springileld, the eights had been dis- carded by Yale, two sixes taking their place and keep- ing it im all American student racing cince, The idea of returning to the large boat this year was partly the result of the dislike of both Yale and Harvard for go- ing out of New England nd so far from home, partly from preferring a race between themselves than with crows from a dozen other jastitutions with whose students they wore comparatively unacquainted, even though in their five meetings with the latter they were both beaten every time save one, TUM ARRIVAL OF THE CREWS. Both crows were late in getting to their racing track, Yalo taking hor rst. spin on Thursday afternoon, and then not really over the course, while Harvard did not launch till yesterday, thus giving each barely a week to fearn thé road, while iho English ’varsuy cights usually try to be at Putney nearly twice as long. But with reason, for tne course from Putney to Mortlak while three furlongs longer, is far more tortuous thi this one, keeping the coxswains constantly on the alert to take advantage of the various Dends in the river. THE COURSE, A nearly correct idea of the shape of this track may be formed by taking the letter 3 by the ends and pulling them out until it begins to look quite attenuated, tho top balf indeed unbending almost entirely. This top, or the start, will be from a line crossing the river where the Town Brook empties into it, just above the Hamp- don Coanty Agricultural Park, and well on toa mile above the bridge of the Boston and Albany Railroad. Averaging from 1,200 to 1,500 feet in breadth all the way, except where tho 1873 start was made, thero narrowing to 800, it finishes off Long- meadow station, mot far from the long flat shoal so fatal to Cornell that year. Like the Put- ney course it was under two bridges, but unlike ft, from being twice as wide and free from its strong tide, there are no troublesome swirls and eddies and the water varies in depth from four to twenty feet. It has risen lately and is nearly a foot higher than in 1873 Starting from near midstream and passing under probably the central one of the seven spans of this railroad bridge they will need to vary slightly and rather suddenly to avoid the pier of the old turnpike bridge hardly threo blocks below. Working gradually to the right there will doubtless be asharp race for the corner on the west or Agawam bank, which they must round, and the one having the pole here will have a commanding advantage, sufficient if the crews are really equally matched, to insure the race, The drawing for position— which, by the way, does not take place until a few min- utes before the race—thus becomes a matter of very great importance, whoever wins the western or West Springfield station making al! of a boat’s length, if not two, when they come to rounding the point Nor is this all For when a mile more is rowed and they are alittle ‘below the landing of the Agawam ramshackle ferryboat they again round a point, not so valuable a one as the other, but bringing an advantage to the pole not to be sneezed at by atired crew. Thus tho crows do not, as at Saratoga, row exactly the same distance. Nor have they the famous lanes to protect them from fouling, their oniy safeguards being the cox- swains, While these little fellows will accomplish this they add to the load 100 pounds, and with tho lanes a perfectly ‘useless 100 pounds, the case being quite dif- ferent in England, they being necessary there owing to the narrowness and crookeducss of the streams, while the crews which carry them weigh usually nearly come down and pick His children out of the,dust, anda ten pounds a man more than elther of these, they would put on the white robe of the resarrection, Alter all the toils and stroggles of their earthly exist- ence how sweet it would be to rest, No more sorrow, no more sin, nO more sh, no more parting. In the evening Mr. Talmage pre: & sermon in which he recounted the work of the past year, After the ser- mon he desconded from the platform and shook hands with hundreds of his people, who pressed forward to bid him fareweil. He will spend his vacation at Mar- tha’s Vineyard, where ono of bis cougregation, Dr. Tucker, of Clinton street, has placed at his disposal an elegant and newly furnished bouse. The Tabernacie will be open every Sabbath morning during the sum- mer, and the services will be conducted by Dr. Thomp- son, of Chicago, and other divines. ST. PATRICK'S CATHEDRAL. THE COMPANY WE KEEP AND HOW WE SHOULD ACT—SERMON BY THE REV. FATHER O'NEILIn ‘There was a fair congregation at St. Patrick’s Catne- dral yesterday morning. The sermon was preached by the Rev. Father O'Neill, ono of the recently ordained priests. He took.his text from the last gospet of the third Sunday after Pentecost—This man receiveth sinners and cateth with them.”’ We donot need, said the preacher, an juterpreter to explain to us the moaning of those words, When the Scrives and Pharisees uttered them against our Lord they ha@& nothing worse to say, and they ‘intended to convey the dea that be- cause Christ was in the company of sinners He was a sinner Himself But it is possible to be in bad company without being contaminated by the associations, Chemists have discovered’ a substance which, when it envelops the hand, protects trom hurt even when in the midst of flames; and so, also, is there protection from the soil of sin even when we are in the midst of danger. God has appointed the means by which we can preserve ourselyes unbarmed if we adopt His commandment and follow the wise rules the Church lays down for our guidance under every possi- bie necessity. It is not to be understood that we are encouraged to form bad associations, but that we must use of the time and place in which we find our- selves in order to perform our duty, to do what little we may by example or by precept, or to avert by the absence of acquiescence sintul incentives or contem- plated wrong. Not always by words or argument. by frowns or open condemnation, is the bad deed thus acted or the evil motive frustrated, Great care should be exercised lest wo rush to conclusions about the sinfulness of ovr neighbor. As a rule we aro in too great a hurry to condemn. Thero are very few of us | who have not some time or other in our own experi- ence done wrong in this way and been driven to ex- cuse ourselves by attriputing our error to the head and not tothe heart. The recollection of our own weak- ness ought to make ts judge leniently of our neighbor. Many peopie seem to have a mania to discover or to pronounce upon otber people's faults. God says, “Judge not lest you be judged.’ Neither good com- pany nor bad is a sate criterion by which you can form a judgment aboat others, In the interest of charity weshould pause before passing sentence upon our neighbor and pronouncing him an enemy of the Al- mighty, especially as God has reserved to Himself the Tight of passing judgment on His creatures. He alone understands the hidden heart, and those who under the outward seeming of virtue are corrupt within shall meet with the reward that justly belongs to them. “Woo to you who are clean without and foul within.’” Bat it is necessary for us al- ways to be on our guard jainst the evil one. He who keeps his cye ever open to dangers has the best chance to escape them. The only sure principle by which we can guide ourselves is to follow constantly in the path of virwe. There light always shining that wil! lead us securely along th y to the end if we ly wish not to wander awav {rom it, But while we thus charitably view the associations around us we mast never fail to remember tho evil which may come from bad company, and especially when. those ot ten<er age are expused to the danger. How many young people have to ascribe their ruin to companions who Urst instilled oto their minds the poison that cor- rupted them. Fathers and mothers have a grave responsibility In this regard, and no care on their part can be to great in watching over their children and ee them against temptation. The economy of jod in governing the world has thrown the bad and “the good together, and, while we exert every reasonable means to allow virtue to appear im beautilul aud at- tractive form, wo must be careful that our own hearts get not tarnisned a any effort in enh Bnd promote the advancement of others.

This will be one of the best places for pies a look at the crews for any distance, having a lecided advantage over the east bank and the grand- stand at its foot, because the sun will shine on the spectator’s back, not im his face. The bridges will not, as Hammersmith and Barnes’ bridges on the Putney course, afford favorable standpoints—the = rait- road brid, because the company will not, or certainly Cn rag not to, allow foot sen- ers on it, and the t aving urnpike bridge because, n built in 1818 and looking es ir ewes, it is entirely inclosed by a suit shed, giv it the appearance of a protracted one story barn, only chance jor the spectator being {rom one of t..e eight or ton portholes which appear on its sides and are meant to adinit light. But as they average but about two feet by three apicce they would hardly accommodate all Yale’s friends or Harvard's either, at least before the race. Up till noon to-day Yaie, though this is ber third day here, has rowed over the track but once—that was at avout half-past eleven yesterday morping—while Har- vara did the same last evening, a little before seven, though she has been over paris of it several times, The long moadows on the west side, varying in height above the water from five to twenty feet, let in the westerly breezes so as to cut up the suriace at times very badly—this noon, for instance, there being white- caps on the lower half of the course and waves nearly a foot high. This in part accounts for Yale’s puling up the river toward Chicopee, where the southwest winds ruffle the water less than on the coarse, and where, too, she is less likely to be observed, She has breught up her English boat, by Clasper, ren which is 58 feet long, 2 feet wide, ana to top of washboard about a foot and which weighs 248 ands, two pounds more in the one Harvard ought from Cambridge. ard’s new boat, irom Fearon, of Yonkers, arrived safely this morning, aud was paddied to quarters, Her length and breadth are almost precisely the same as those ot Y: English Doat, but she seems shallow, and hardly large enough to carry her crow rightly over the rough water so com- mon 0b portions of the course. THE HARVARD CREW is composed of three of her last year’s Freshman crew, Bancroft, the stroke; Morgan, the bow, and Le Moyne, Mr. James, of the 1873 University crew; Mr. Thayer, one of the substitutes, and three men who never rowed in or university race. Messrs Bolan, a Senior; Jacobs, » Sophomore, and Irving, of the Scienti School, averaging exactly five feet ten in height, ail sit up weil in the boat, bow not being, as 1s often the case, a short mau, but one of the talicat, The experiment ot Seren a man from | umber two, the least honored place in the Fresi'man boat, tu stroke of the Univoraity eight, hazardous as it is, seems to have worked well, and Mr. Buncroit's action in the boat shows many marks of fitness for the trying placo. Wil back perhaps least straight of any he reaches weil the water at once, his arms never seem- ing until the stroke {s almost through, He arches his neck noticeably while at work, so drawing in hts chin and giving him tho appearance of not throwing the weight of his head on s0 vigorously as the rest. Nothing in the action of tho other soven catches the eye 80 much as this different pitch of the head uniess it be that Thayer at rest by throwing his head further over the er way. One point very Prominent is the men are uncommonly weil together. Aimost the only irreguiarity noticeable, beyond those already named, is tuat occasionally on the starboard side one oar feathers higher than the rest, but not olten. As Known in some quarters, there is a very radical ard’s siroke this year. Instead of { toy longer, and trying from this man that book to get some idea of the stroke rowed at Ox- ford or at Cambridge, of by the London Rowing Club, or any other stroke thougat to be slow, she bas gone bodily over to her old fast stroke, which stood her so ‘well from °66 to '70, ana has, fortunately, been able to avail herself of its very best exemplar—Mr, Alden P. Loring, stroke of her '67 and ’68 crews, and of the four which rowed Oxiord in ‘69, a lawyer, practising in* Boston. Afier much bot ot Sa ‘was prevailed on to step forw rd and see whether could not aguin organize ~ From the results.of his work as seen today it is w his crew do not win it not be for lack of plenty of thoroughly excellent coaching and abun- daut aud sensible hard work for over haif a y: bas, barring accidents, either because this is not the faster style of rowing, or because thero is more power in the Yale boat. They will not, of course, row precisely as Loring’s crew used to row, but as faras they can do 80, and yet use the sliding seais. The old stroke aver- aged forty-foar and a halt and forty-five to the minute throughout the race, with two or three extrain the spurts, The siding seats, by making tbe legs do far more work, make each stroke # barder and far more effective one, but render it impossible to pall quite so many aminute. Yaic, for instance, only rowed about vbirty-three & minute at Saratoga last and only thirty-four over a part of the track Were yesterday morning. Mr. Woodgate, a well known autpority among the University oarsmen in Engli says that the sliding seat 1s found at Henley to reduce the time of rowing a mile by about cight seconds. This advantago then must be secured, and so the ber of strokes 1s = spring at Putney, the London Times saying that the number at times reached quite forty, Tne only other Doticeable change, Mr. Loring allows, is the adoption of the quick shoot of the hands of the body the moment they touch itatthe end of the stroke, thus getting them far out and well on toward getting another grip of the water befure the shoulders begin to movo /or- ward, Tbe old shoulder act: wag far quicker, the men jumping or bucketing forward so sharply as to cause the stern of the vost to settle at cach stroke, and of course such a style was unnecessarily severe on ibe wind, But as prominent a difference as any between their present stroke and that of Yale is that, instead of balancing their oar when their bauds are out and plainly delaying to catch the 7 ‘until the blade is just poised to suit, so losing not only a little time and letting the boat jose head: but very important thing—losing some of the best of stroke, the oar goes in at oace; in other words, instead of any pause between finishing, going forward and be- ginning to got the oar into the water, it is all one mo- tion, Then keeping the arms straight ail the wa} until the boay ts well past the perpendicular, the han are dropped till they tough the waiat and then shot out for a new stroke. This low dropping of course raises the blade proportionally and brings about one result likely at least to do us harm on this pumpy water—namely, a high feather. Indecd, the Harvard feather 18 noticeably higher than.1t has ever been since 186%, and it is quostionable, whether Jobn Biglin did not impress them wit some its advan- tages, years evon before that, Another and extremely important feature of the present Harvard stroke {s that instead of the oar slivering out of the water before the bands are entirely home and so feathering in the air, the blade is pulled completely \brough in a vertical position and then turned sharply overand out, This utilizes © inch of the stroke, and in the close racing, which s fortunately becoming common, these inches grow co! tly in importance. The high feather, of course, also causes the hands to rise correspondingly as the oar drops from the highest point into th ‘The dip, too, seems deeper than 1m @ boat coxswain, and, doubtless, works well in this load-carrying business. The effect of the entire stroke ‘to tho spectator is that the shoulders, being back so much of the time, seem never forward over the feet, and the Nine from the feet to the - head seems to grow almost straight, thos apparently, id doubtless actually, getting a most telling brace agau stretcbers and letting the man throw his whole weight on to the oar, Indeed, except in the legs, the mus- cles hardly appear to have much to do with the pulling part; but they do with the pushing—that 1s, the ex- tensor muscles of the arm are callea into pl ously in the m n way of shooting the hands sharply off the body. the crew rows away at thirty-cight of these strokes a minute, while the boat does not rise and fall badly, it is of necessity noticeable at every stroke, Of course the coxswaim docs not steady the boat not share in tho motions of the rowers, but, sitting bolt upright or as nearly so as ho can, unless the crew row very steadily and tho water is quiet his place w no sinecure, Hold. jag the rudder lincs taut and his bands by his hips and on or near the washboards, his eyes must catch his course im that part of the stroke when the heads are down and forward. 1f he does not handle the lines very delicately, und make the very gentlest vibrations of the little radder, the way is checked in & moment, and perhaps the race is tost. Of necessity a very small man, there is danger that ho will jack the nerve to steer the truest course in the keen excite- ment of the race. Still, Harvard hasa good degree of con- fidence in young Cheney, and they say that he has always shown nerve whenever called to. Facility comes by Practice in this as in most other arts, and the only thing be cannot well learn beforeband is not how to steer a good course, but how to act if the other crew get ahead and commence to give him their ‘wash, This reprehensible practice, 60 com- pletely done away with by rowing in lanes, is in serious danger of bing revived on this curving course; ungentlemanly and jockeying as it is, it is so easy to fall into that Oxford ana Cambridge caunot always bring them: es 10 avoid it, and the result is that the head crew rows in smooth water, the other in that so Jampy that it would take half a minute more to rowa mile in it, so rendering the contest the opposite of fair. WHICH STROKE WILL STAY? From the different strokes of the two crews and the widespread belief apparent probability that the sborter stroke of 1s the likelier to si it will be patural if Harvard gets away with the lead. In Eng- land, however, where they are more familiar with this length and style of race, 1t is common for the crew with the quicker stroke to lead, often through the en- tire earlier bail of the race, tho rear crew then ing, when about’ two or two and a half miles out, - and coming In abead. Should the like come about this time, the place where the crisis will happen, and hence the part to seo, will be somewhere in the halt mile above the ferry and in full view of any one on the railroad track. And this suggests an excellent plan, which, if the railroad company will adopt it, as they casily can, will not only nrove highly remunera- tive, but go far toward proving Springfield a good place at which to have a race. Let cars be run—platiorm if there are not enough others—from the bridge tili the road leaves the river bank at Long Meadow. This will give unrivalled facilities for seeing some of the first milo, all of the second and third and a part of the fourth. For nearly two miles the river can be seen almost constantly. To be sure, on the journoy for the first half mile many a fragrant shanty and an occasional headicss cat will have to be passed, but these will only servo to lend variety to t ride, possibly also to give a timely suggestion or two to the Sprivgfield Health Board. fo ordinary difficulty should be allowed to stand ip the way of carrying out this plan, The present id stand is altogether too near ploughed land, ant ould the wind be at all fresh there is danger that a cloud of dust mi it anything but attractive. Cover, too, might prove scarce thereabout should a shower come up, while the sun makes a good deal of heat at four o'clock in the afternoon. Ifthe railroad will come to the rescue the Springfeld course may yet become a popular one, LONG BRANCH RAGES. THE JULY MEETING—THE GATHERING OF THE HORSES, &C. Loxa Braxon, Jane 25, 1876. ‘The summer season has commenced at Long Branch more than usually early and with increased attractive- ness and brilliancy. Many improvements have been made in the drives and walks since last summer. Now cottages have sprung up in all directions, and additions have been made to goveral of tho hotels. The New Jersoy Central Railroad have erocted a new end com. modious depot at easy distance from the hotels, and aro already running full trains morning and evening for the accommodation of the increased number of visitors, Thero is a freshness ond sweetness about tho Branch at this early season peculiarly attractive, and the refreshing view of the sea is alone worth tho trip, to say notning of the delicious breezes and the daily plunge in the salt waves. Great preparations are being made for the race meet- ing at Monmouth Park, to commence on Saturday, July 1. The race course is in Gneorder. The club house and grand stand have been repainted, and pre- sent a very handsome appearance. Indeed everything about the park is in exceilent condjtion and in readi- ness for the crowds that will, no doubt, throng every available space at tho meeting. This is ono of the bandsomest race tracks in America, with the advan- tages of beautiful roads leading to it (watered during ib), an easy drive of three enue, and at all times a glimpse of and a breith from the sea, Faces this season will be of more than ordinary interest, as the entries are very numerous and the stakes Jarge. The first day, July 1, is the Great Jersey Derby Stakes. On Tuesaday, July 4, 1 Monmouth Cup, to be followed, according to programme, with other days and races of cqual interest. Many of the horses are already in training at the park, apd others are arriving by every train. So nu- merous have been the entries that the ample stable accommodations at the track have been insufficient, and the club have been compelicd to lease uli of the available stables in the immediate neighborhood. — That some idea may be had of the iaterost and im- tance of the meeting to commence on Saturday, Rly 1, there is appended hereto a list of the horses now at Monm: ath Park in training for the great con- tests then to take placo:— + Mr, Betuont’s Stanva, —Olitipa, Fiddlestick, Ber- tram, Sultana, Patience, Dauntless, Clematis, Hibernia, Susquehanna, Baroness.

About three months ago Charles Scharrer, of No, 11¢ Second avenue, made an attemptto kill himself by cutting his throat. He recovered, however, and hi wite, whose threat to leave him had caused him to at- tempt suicide, changed her mind after this proof of hig love and they have lived peaceably together since. Saturday night last the husband's violent temper again broke out and his wife caused his arrest for threaten- ing to kill her. She said sho was really in danger of boing murdered by ber husband, and to prevent such @ cat he the Court committed bim for six month¢ in default of $300 bail to be of good behavior, POLICE COURT NOTES. Jacob von Vielen, a cane maker, of Hoboken, on Sab urday night, for abet of $5, drank thirty glasses of lager.beer in a Bleecker street saloon in order to prove it was not intoxicating. He was awarded the wager, but subsequently walked into the North River at the foot of Leroy street. He was rescucd after mach dif culty by Officers Ward and Malaskey, of the Ninth pre cinct, and locked up in tho Charles street station. Os being arraigned before Justice Smith, at the Washing ton Piace Court, yesterday, he was discharged. A somewhat unusual case of avandonment came up bofore Justice Smith at the Washington Place Court Three days ago a middle-aged woman, who gave her name as Ann Drewery, of No. 119 West Houstoa came before the Justice and stated that William Seamapn,'a truck driver, of No, 43 Scammel street, with whom eo had lived five years and by whom sho had a boy four years old and « girl three years old, had abandoned her, and that sho avd her children had not eaten anything for forty-eight hours. JusticeSmith gave her $2 and issued a warrant for Seaman’s arrest, which was placed in the hands of Officer Fleming, of the court squad, for service. Officer Fleming found that Seaman was employed in Gregory & Jones’ drug miils, in Cherry street, but on applying there for information the existence of such a man was demed. By dint of patient watching the officer succeeded in arresting Sca- man, who denied his identity. On being arraigned bo- fore Justice Smith he claimed that he merely boaraed with the beg og id never sustained any other ‘tion toward her. Jusuce Smith, after carefully sur- ine the situation, said:—‘Scaman, those childron, although they cannot testify, are still fatal witnesses against you. I will commit you in default of $500 bail.” And Mr, Seaman, who surprised the Court with a sud- den burst of proianity, was brought down stairs by Sergeant Bergholz.
