Brook lh; 93, °1876.—WITH THE BATTLE OF LONG ISLAND. BEY. MB. WOODSIDE’S DISCOURSE IN THE FIRST REFORMED PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, BROOK- rYN, . At the First Reformed Presbyterian chareb, in Duf- field street, near Myrtle avenue, the Rev. Mr, Wood- side, pastor of the chureb, last evening preached on the battle of Long Island, taking for his text Hebrews, xi., 13:—“These all died in faith.’’ The reverend gentle- man began his discourse by saying:—It 18 not often that ministers of the Gospel receive such a respecttal request trom the Commou Council of any city. It 19 due to our City Fathers that we promptly respond to their request. In the past history of the Reiormed Presbyterian Church our ministers received very ditfer- ent orders from city councils and others exercising civil power, They were ordered, On pain of death, not to speak on pohtical subjects, but the times have happily changed, and it is alike the privilege and honor of him who addresses you to receive such a request from the common council of any city throughout this land, Iu endeavoring to carry out the wishes of our respected rulers we have selected the text announced. It ts the clause of a Sentence in that chapter which contains the names of acloud of witnesses who waxed valiant ia fizht, suffered many crucltics and uncold privations, voluntarily forsook wealth, case and pleasure, and fell earnestly contendtag for tho faith once delivered to the saints, The names ol these pious dead fre written in letters of light that they may be seen and read by all, They lived long before the dawn of the Gos- pel day, suflered aud died centuries before the Man of Sorrows endured His agony and | expired on tbe cross, But they saw His aay alar off, and their unwavering faith in Him enabled them to .wateh, wait aud stragg Their names ve- doubly dear to us when we understand the nature of their flery trials and the fortitude they displayed. Thef looked down through the vista of ages to the generations ‘hen unborn who shauit be influenced py | their actions, The blessings promised by their Master had not come actually into possession, bu fuith to them was stronger evidence than the enjoyments of sense. It was the substance of things hoped for—the evidence of things not scen, They acted as persons tirmly convinced of the truth of the promuses and the ulumate success of the cause they espoused, ‘Their movements were the result of CALM AND PRAYEREUL DELIBERATH and not the outgrowth of Li balanced enthusiasm. Tt was not their natural daring or personal heroism that won for them untadiig houors, but the streagth which God communicated enabled them to stand when o:bers Whey have lett behind them an everlasting ‘Their very names are precious to us, Abei, Enoct, Noah, Alra- Isaac, Jacob, Surah, Jo: Moses, Rabab, ‘on, Burak, Samson, Jephthah and Davia are names around which the sanctitied affections of God's people mast ciuster to the hitest generation, but itis not 50 much the men we are to admire us the principles exhibited and the example they set to suc- ceeding generations, Their actious proved,them to be forgediul of personal danger and meouven and their minds) to be wholly absorbed im turther- ing the cause with which they were identilied. Their deaths were as triumphant as their lives were consisiont. ‘They were possessed of tha principlo which renders death less perplex And Jess paintul to the social alfeetions. rcie unsanctifled reason stand absorbed and dumblounded at the approach of death; bat faith, clear as tae sam- mer sun, sees the pathway through the dark valley and the permanent home beyond Without this: vital principle of taith exercised in a living Redeemer there can be no triumphant death, The language of our text is applicabie to Brooklyn's martyrs who fell im the struggie of 1776. ‘These all died in faith, We cannot trace the religious character of the men who sullered and fell, Itis safe tosay that in the American army there were some whose religious views Were not very well defined, but that they were ali to a greater or less degree imfluenced by the Christian — religion 18.4 fact iew Will dare to dispute. Some were foolishly found atthe card table at midnight when they should ing Jor their daugerous work on the While we enunot apologize for this act, yot it ought not to be construed into opposition of the Christian religion, If i be, then must we, sor con sistency’s sake, bring a similar charge against half the projessing Christians of the city of Brookiyn, Let us inquire of them first WHO WHRE THOSE MEN 5 who fought and fell within the limits of the city of yin? First, they were true patriots, They loved America, the land of their adoptivn and the place of their birth. There was the pale, thin, thoughtful Ameri- yph, following ; the broad, stout, healthy Hollander; tho ruday Englisuman; the brilliant and qmuseulur Iristi- man, and the Scotchman, sold as the granite hills of his native country, Tuey were men of ditlerent religious persuasions. Some were uursed in the lap of Presbyterianiem, and had been fed in early lite on the “sincere milk ot the Word.’ Some were trained in the nuraery of Episcopacy and carried with them the profound respect for superiors which that &: tem engenders, Some were Independents snd loved a looser torm of eccie-iaztical government than the two iormer. Some were Roman Catholics who loved their Chureh with all the affection pecuhar to her members.

Heroism and patriotism are like twin sisters—closely allied, Sometimes the latter 18 possessed io a certain degree When the former is Wanting, but our martyrs were heroes im the true and proper sense of that term, Their numbers, position, training and actions pro- claimed thein herves who may be ranked with Teil, of Switzerland, and Bruce of Baunockbarn, How did wWese men die? First, they died in the firm faith of the justice of their cange. Theirs was a struggle tor principle. What eise 1s wortk living for or dying jor out principles, which are lasting as eternity. ‘Vbere are unprincipled wretches who betray their country or sell their church fur a “mess of potiage” or & chapel of ease, but such were nov the heroes of 1776 They Knew that their principles were immortal, and must in the end be triumphant, and consequently we can say, “Phese ali died in faith.’ Second, they all “died in faith — of the {ature greatness of the American nation. Lt was a maxim throughout the Roman Commonwealth never to despair of the Republic, How mach moro applica- dle is to the American Republic, The Romans trusted in the power and skill of men, but the Ameri cans, ard particuiar.y the leaders of the Revolution, trusted in the omuipotent arm ot Jehovab, The strength and growth of a nation may be estimated in some measure by the character ol its representative men.

May not Anrerica boast of her Washington and Ler Wooduail as earnese of the nation’s greatness? THIRD, THEY ALL DIED in the faith that their successors gould guard with sacred care the precious legacy which they beqneaihed, They left us a Christian Sabbah to protect, a holy Bibie unmutilated to circulate, and a system of educa- tou to perpetuate, ‘They left us the blessing of reli | gious toleration tn opposition to the mandate: of lordly preiates aud aspiring kings, ‘they broke the iron fetters of degrading caste with which Ori- eutal countries aro firmiy bound, and taught every American citizen to feel himself a treemau and nota mere machine, They left os a form of govern- Went capabic of jMproverent, but approaching nearer to the mind of the ‘at Ruler than any other at present in existence. y lett us the right to select our rulers, and so guard against a despotism as a rading ws that of tue ancieatPharaohs ot Egypt They left us their to protect, which was better to them than gr es Stall we be trae to our trust’ By moderation and temperance, and sirict atiention to ail the duties God requires, we Ehall prove to the world that eur patriot dead wage aot misiaken whea they bequeathed to us their invaluable legac; THE CELEBRATION IN BROOKLYN, ‘The flags of the city and a variety of colors were displayed from the Brocklyn City Haliand Gourt House yesterday, in recognition of the one hundredth annie versary of the battle of Long Island.
