But where there is little within there is usaally a great display on the outside. ‘Trinity church is to be extended twenty-one feet, at a cost of $35,000, not because it does not now accommo- date the people, but because ritualism*demands a cathedral for “the Church,” and ritualism has given a $100,000 marble altar to this one. And, should the approaching Convocation not sanction the proposed $2,000,000 cathedral up town, this one would answer ail purposes for a while. The pions Psalmist prayed “Remember not the sins of my youth nor my transgressions,” but if he were @ candidate for a political office in these days he would inctade his sins from babyhood, for they would be hunted up and remembered againet him. Io all times of perplexity and doubt or fear, in tie hour of deep affliction and trial, it 13 well to keep in mind the precious promise of God, ‘I will never leave thee nor forsake thee.” Do not all God's mercies in the past as well as all His pledges for the future give fall ground to the assurance that He will provide for tho present? And in this confidence may not the soul be atrest? Let your constant prayer be for more trust in His providence that He will care for and supply all your needs, Some theolegian has made a very important discov- ery and published the same in a book, His discovery is that heaven 18 not endless and that eternity is a mistake, This a fitting and logical companion to the mistake of believing that there is a heil, Though falling short of the wishes of all those who want to see religion “shown up,” 1t may comiort some of them to know that Christians are likoly to get through with their happiness sooner or later.

At least $20,000 are needed, and St, Mary’s church (col- ored), in the capital, have given, or will give, $5,000 of this sum. The rector, Rey, Alexander Crammell, says the common schools of Washington have raised up a generation of colored youth who bave outgrown the crude and tumultuous religious systems of a former day, Heneo he thinks it is nothing but an act of mercy for the Protestant Episcopal Church to step in front now with her chaste, sober, yet warm and ele- vating system, to meet the needs and to satisfy the stimalated cravings of these trained and anxious minds, Rey.

The evangelistic movements inaugurated here Inst winter by Messrs, Moody and Sankey, and eontinued | with more or less success in various forms since, is to be advanced still more by local evangelists during the ensuing falland winter, Two movements are on {oot, ove of witich, under the direction of the Rey. Samuel Colcord, is to be inaugurated the Ist of October in Chickering Hall, which bas been leased for aterm of three years for Sabbath services, morning and after- noon, A volunteer choir of 200 singers, under the leadership of Mr. Charles L. Gunn, formerly of tno | Church of the useiples, 18 already in training for this new enterprise, It i# not de- signed by this movement to interfere with any existing church or denomiuation, but 18 Purpose is to reach the outlying non-church going masses of high degree as weil as of low. Mr. Colcord ts a graduate of Dr. Tyng’s House of Evangelists, and has been engaged in missionary labors in this city for gome time past, His enterprise has tho sanction and fullest confidence of Drs, Vaylor, Tyng, Jr. Ludiow, Eider, Chapman, Sabine, Tucker, Wedekind, Hep- worth, Deems, Hyiance, Ormiston and many other leading clergymen of the different denominations in this cliy. Hence it will be seen that the services are | to be entirely undenominational, Rev. L, 8. Hobart 4 Messrs. George W. Wetmore, A. K. Austin and Benjamin C, Wetmore, treasurer, are an executive committeo to look after the material interests of this new movement, whoso success, judging from the names and character of those engaged in it, 18 already assured, Abother evangelistic movement, more com- plicated and, we presume, more expensive too, is to be inaugurated here or in Brooklyn in a short time, It is to be carried on by the USION MISSIONARY. socrETy, a body Incorporated under the laws of this Stato last June. The object of this society, as declared by its constitution, 18 “to employ, as the Lord shail direct, open tields and supply meaus, persons full of the Holy pirit and Wise to Win SOUS as evangelists in plac siring and needing special help, and to establish pe manent union meetings in the principal cities, whieh undenominational Sabbath sebouls and re meetings shall be heid,” &c. In one or more citie: when means are supplied, one place shall be furnis as a home tor cvangelists and Christian wo: where instruction and training for Curistian wor! be had free, and, when necessary, treatinent to regain health to periorm missionary labor, Then follows a ist of qualitications for membership in this Union Slis- sionary Society, the time, manager of their mectings, | the collection und disbursement of moneys, the ap- | pointing, counselling, sustaining and dismissing of evangelists, inissionsriog and agents, the selection of fleldsoi labor, the cailing of couventions and the publi- cation of a paper to xdvocate their interests, Twenty- one ‘rustces, including president, vice president, secretary und ussisiant treasurer and asgistaut audit- ors, business manager and oilice editor, are to keep the machinery of this complicated coucera in motion, The oflicers of this sovioty are:—Rev, Bishop J. Weaver, , D., President; Rov. SH, Platt, A. M., Vice Prosident; Rev. H. A. King, Secrotary; Rev, George A. Sparks, Assistant Secretary; Marshall 8. Driggs, Treas- urer; Rev. H. A. King, Assistant Treasurer; Samuel RK Smith and F Aimsworth, auditors, The list of trustees embraces ministers and laymen of different | denominations, scattered throughout the country from Massachusetts to California, They are, however, mainiy, if not all, believers in and advocates of ‘ths higher life,” whatever thay may mean, Two motives appear to underlie and actuate this society. They aro not declared in their coustitution oF prospectus, , but may be gathered trom correlative facts and circum- stances, Those are—first, the disintegration of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THK PROMOTION OF HOLI- Nea whose breaking up we bave ehronicled from time to time, as the pieces jell apart. The excessive piety of this ‘association wes more than it could carry around the country successtully and it has been crushed by its own weight, Men unused to travel cn such high plains of life above their fellows are likely to become giddy from the altitude and to topple over, This Feems to be the case with the National Association for | the Promotion of Holiness. The new Union Mission. | ary Society of New York has organized 0 as to be riady, when its Philadelphia neighbor expires, to carry on tho great work of promoting and spreading holi- ness over this lind. They, too, will hold camp mvet- ings at central points in’ toe summer, and will hire hails and preach‘ng places in large cities in the fall and winter, abd thus carry on their operations. ‘Any person,’ say they, “not living in the practice of any iminoraiity, who beheves repentance and holiness of heart necessary to salvation, and professes taith tn the | Lord Jesus Christ,” shall be eligible to any office in the gocicty. Is there an impiication here that holy persons practice iinmorality ¥ Another motive exists in the fact that a paper which has been published here for a few years in the interest m, a8 the hame implies, and yet what | sort of union we have been unable to discover, is or | was recently in avery delicate position partiy owing to the hard t.mes and partly to the waat of poimt and purpose in its publication and the consequent want of patronage and party, also to the publication of another paper in very much the same interesia in the same neighborhood. - Both advocate Union in Christ, but leave their readers to find out how to apply this to union in the Charch, neither of them, of course, ex- pocting or advoouting OXGANIC UNION OF THK DENOMINATIONS. If, therefore, the Church Union shonid at any time collapse Union in Christ might possibly siceesd, though 1, too, has had a hard and trying time eking outa living. And one of the reasons tor the organization of the Union Missionary Soevet ja to keop it uhive, so that, in case 118 rivals in New Yotk and Philadeiphia shall die, it, covor= ing their grufiud, may obtam their subscribers ond live. Preceding the camp meetings which this Union | Missionary Society are to hold next summer an elabor- ate programme, neatly titled out already, ts to be pub- lished, The meetings are to last two weeks at each place, and Round Lake ground has been promised and Ucean Grove applied for, and other places will also bo pressed into the service. The great men of the country | $8 at these meetings topics which they have pecialty and in which they excel, Some of those topics are eminently practical; s ary, a8 become higher lie travellers.” I such as it is, and. to cover city and country, is to be inaugurated here or in Brooklyn within a fow weeks if no unforeseen and extraordinary hindrance inter feres with the programme. ROSH HOSHONAH. THE JEWISH NEW YEAR—COMMENCEMENT OF THE HOLIDAYS—PREPARATIONS FOR A SOLEMN TIME. The Jewish New Yoar bas come round again, To- morrow evening tt begins and carries with it foclings, emotions and sentiments which bind, as with an iron chain, the Jewish hearts into one common accord, However diversified the mode of life may be, however estranged a Jew might have becomo from the habits and customs of Jewish religious life, however long be may have been severed trom his coreligionisis—with the cntrance of the “awful days’ he ts reminded of the common bond, destiny aud mission of his race, The day nas changed its character, and never more marked than in modern times, It bas passed through a pro- cess of evolution, but only in form. [ts essence and spirit have remained the same, It hay ever been the rallying point of the year for the awakening of religi« ous yearning and longing. That same shofur which gave the day its original appetiation, “day of alarm,” 18 blown Yet to day in every Jewish ‘temple and syua- gogue throughout the world, and its discordant sounds convey yet to-day a symbolic appeal tothe soul, to turn inwardly, to forget for a spell the evanescent passions, desires and lusts, the chase after inieresis ihat cannot be secured beyond the grave, and fix our attention upon the world, ideal, spiritaal and immortal. Not- withstanding th lity of the ideal, there has been achange in the ay, & change in the conception of its purport, a change in the relrgious pmilosophy of which it ts the embodied symbol, which, to a superficial observer, would jet it appear to-day as unlike Its prototype as a modern dwelling to au an- cient domicile, To the mind of the orthodox Jew it 18 the beginning of the day or days of judgment, in which ail tho sins of the past-month must be repented of and forgiven. And very fittingly this season closes with the Day of Atonement ten days juter. Daring those days no Jew who can afford to pay tora pow or a sitting wonld be without them. Though he might not enter the synagogue again tor the rest of tne year be would not miss New Year and the Day of Atonement Men who hare been indifferent on religions matters for eleven mouths resort to the synagogue, and are par ticular as to the location of their siting. ‘They scout the idea of borrowing a pew, lor they intuitively know that the owner needs it himself, and will occupy it at Jeast on two oecasions. Now, says the Jewish Metsens ger, flourishes the stern critic who cannot enuure mediocre preaching, and who insists, with character- istic selfossertion, that as he pays for two sermons every year they ought to be first class literary proaue- tiond ” Perhaps we do not altogether realize the fact; vat the Jewish place of worship is not what it w re of all eyes, ot dear for to successive generations, the Peace, simphieity, ke raliying place for thowghtfu aticudauts aud participant Jt and bas devout become a fashionable building, each congregation to excel 118 neighbor, provided an adequate fort in internal appeintments, count for everything. The retormed Jew has a very different conception of this day from that held by his orthodox brother. To him, according to the Jewish Times, New Year's Day is the symbol of change in the eternally immovable; it is the signal for a grand religious community, whose root 1s imbedded in the remotest past, snd whose members are distributed all over the habitable globe, to assem- ble and bow the knee before the Great Father of the Universe, acknowledge His Majesty and, sinking for a time the Interests that tie man down to the dust, lilt themecives up to heaven. CHURCH OF THE DISCIPLES. The Rev. George H, Hepworth arrived in the city yesterday, and to-day will open bis fail campaign in the Church of the Discipies, In answer to an inspira- tion on his heart he went ope month ago to St, John, N. B., where he has continued ever since, doing a won- derful work for God. The local papers are unsparing tn bis praise, A perfect stranger in the piace, he was invited to preach, first in one church then in another, until soon there was no church capable of accommo- dating the people, Hails wore hired and theatres i, aud nearly every night in the week during his ¢ preached Lo vi and very aby shristiat unanimously resolved that he must visit them agein next summer, would spend thelr vacations in this way they might light a firo all over unis land which the frosts and not quench, Mr. Hepworth comes to his people re- invigorated in body for the work before them, and better fitted spirituully, because of this last thirty days’ service in St, John, todo greater execution on theenemy. Mr. LP. Thatcher will resume his piace ag director of the Disciples? music, and Mr. Arnold, who has been playing pastor and superintendent and everything else to keep the machine in working order during the summer, will be relieved of somo of bis work and resume his position as assistant, which is hardly less responsibie than that of his chiefs, THE FULTON STREET PRAYER MEETING, The nineteenth anniversary of the Fulton Street Noonday Prayer Meeting will be celebrated on Saturday, the 23d inat., attwelve M.

The work of bringing tt to the anchorage at Cherry street com- menced yesterday morning. A “bight”? was attached to the cable and then it was connected with the “traveller” topo. The lashings wero then cut and it rushed along the ‘traveller’ tili the weight of the sinck stopped its further progress. ‘The manila ropo attached tu the cable was taken over the houses across the New York anchorage to the steam drum, Two men were stationed on the roof of No. 173 South street, and there were cleven men at and near the anchorage to guide the rope. When the :steam drum atthe Cherry street end was set in motion the immense cablo ‘was drawn along elowly, but without hindrance, and those stationed on the different housetops guided it so cleverly that nota hitch in tho working occurred. | It took but one hour to make and undo the requisito fast- enings and bring this cable safely to tho anchorage. The remainder. of the day was spent in drawing it ‘*tauv? and fixing it in a secure position, It was not till six o'clock last ev-ning that it was firmly fixed in the “socket? that is to hold it permanently. Mr. Farrington écels highly gratified at the successful manner in which this large cable bas been brought across, and congratulates him- self and bis workmen thereon, Tho five other cables which are to support the foot bridge will be brought over singly, but it may be over a week before the first of them is’ ready.

The commission on the railway postal service, which has been in session here for several days, concluded their labors yesterday in this section. They have can- vassed the needs ot the New York postal service and the disposition of the railroad manggers to make im- proved mail facilities. Yesterday morning Mr. E. D. Wooster had a long hearing betore the cummission, His interview was supplementary in its nature to Mr, Vanderbilt's statement on Wednesday last. Mr. George Jones, of the New York Times, appeared before the Commission in the afternoon, His state- ment had reference to the subject of fast mail trains. He expressed the opinion that for a number of years past Adams Express Company had been doing what the government ought to have done, If the latter is to maintain a postal service the system ought to be as effectual and nearly perfect as possible. The introduction of tast mail trains had been a great benefit and improvement to the public generally as well as to newspapers. The hours of starting tho fast mail trains were a little too soon to suit our commerce, A delay of half an hour would havo been better. Aba recent meeting of all the papers of tho As ciated Press of New York State there was but one com- piaint of inconvenience or injury to business by reason of the fast mail service. The first suggestion of iniro- ducing this form of postal service did not come from the New York morning papers, as hax been stated. Prior to the establishment of such a service publishers used to distribute papers by the old express plan. They adopted the fast mail service instead because it was both quicker and cheaper. News agents ,have now gone back to the old mode. Mr. Jones be- Heved the commercial benefits of the, fast mail trains to have been beyond calculation. The there was great chagrin when they stopped. Pub- Nshers are constantly ‘in recoipt of letters from toe ntry and from the West on the subject of th mails, inquiring i they are likely to be re-established, It appears to be the impression at Washington that the postal service should support itself, He thought it should not be expected. We should never have sot- ed our great Western country as we have had we not extended the postal facilities at a loss to the govern- ment. In those sections the government has unaer- taken to carry country papers free of charge, Great Britain undertook to eséablish a cheap mail rervice, which was a loss tothe government for sev- years, but now 18 remunerative In France the postal trains are the fastest, and their beneiits are in. caiculable. There are two iast mail trains daily on thi route from Paris (o Marseilles aud.one on the Geneva route, Asto the hour of starting the recent fast mail trains from New York, he was informed that it was fixed as it was simply to avoid interference with other strains, THE PLYMOUTH COLLISION, The court of inquiry convened by order of the Navy Department to cxamine into the facts of the late collision between the United States steamer Plymouth anda German bark has completed its labors and adjourned, The Piymouth, while wader way in charge of a regular pilot, collided with a German bark, the strength of the tide carrying the sloop-of-war down upon the latter, and causing considerable damage to both vessels, The court was composed of Commotore Guest, President, and Captain Do Kraft ana Commander United States as members, ‘The result of 4t8 labors comple erates Captain Barrett (com- manding) and the officers of the Plymouth. The court found from the testimony that the a anerror of judgment of the pilot, t danger might have been averted had there been Bpeed on the ship. As the speed ceveloped was the ship'e maximum, this in no sense reflects upon the personnel of the vessel. Tho Viymouth is now at an- chor off the Battery, with fires banked, and will sail at nine o'clock to-day for Philadeiphia, there to assame in her turn, the duties so wall performed by the frigates Congress ana Hartford, NEW YORK DAY AT THE CENTEN- NIAL, The Centennial Commissioners have set apart next week as tho period for the residents of the Empire State to visit the Centennial, and on Thursday, 2lat inst., Governor Tilden will hold his levee thero. It is provablo that during next week the grounds and build- ings at the Centennial Exposition will be crowded. To meet the exigencies of the situation the Pennsylvania Raioad have temporarily reduced their rates ior fifteon-day return tickets from $5 to $4, which are good for all trains except the Washington limited ex- press; and at tho same time round trip tickets, good for one day, will be issned at the rate of $2 or $3, ac- cording to the irains designated at that price.

Tho latter being cluefly of the artisan class, a al feel- ing prevails in the borough of Greenwich tbat the meeting should take place, as before, on Black- heath, on Saturday afternoon, about two o'clock, no pabhe room or ball in the district being anything like adequate to accommodate the large numbers naturally anxious to be present. If it be decided to hold iho meeting on Blackheath it will be necessary to obtain the consent of the Metropolitan Board of Works, and to erect a suitable hustinge, with accommodations for the press, &c.

THE TURKISH HOSPITALS, [Nisch (August 16) correspendence of the London Standard. } 1 have not been to Knjazevatz, tor before I had reached Gramada | met the special correspondent of a Hungarian paper, who, together with the dragoman of another colleague, who was going to Nisch to buy provisions, tobacco and knives, forks, plates, spoons, &@ The correspondents—among them my colleague of the Standard—who bad followed the army of Osman Pacha are at Knjazevata, and will soon be eye-witnesses of a battle, while wo three correspondents here, who intend to follow the chief army into the Morava Val- ley, are etili condemned to wait, At least 80,000 men, a third of whom are regalar trocps, though all well armed, are posted on the line Nisch-Uerkub, but they serve no other purpose than to help to poison the air. To mo 1 18 perfectiy incomprehensible that no epidemic has broken out; but if it should visit ths place it would Tage fearfully. At pre- sent, solar as private observation and information allow me to judge, the mortality is very little greater than usual in the month of August—pamely, it is at the most five times as great as in London; only almost all whom 1 know complain of pressure in the region of tho heart—-anything but a reassuring symptom. Since the arrival of the Arnauts and the Greek volunteers, dis- tinguishable by having a largo metal crose by the side of the Crescent on their breast, the want of cleanliness and the horrible smells in the ‘strects have arisen in geometrical proportion, It is true, to-day, in every street two Bulgarian peasants, well paid’ for their labors, are at work to clear away thp dirt, but the only implements they have are little hand brushes such as we use for brushing clothes. When, alier hours, they have coliected a small > of dirt, they throw it with their nands into a rickety old wheelbarrow, and the first gust of wind oiten blows it out ags only the number of melon skins lying on the miserable pavement, dan; both mon and horses, and the sheep's skulls bay mimshed. The Arnauts live on sour milk, in which they crumble maize bread and sheep's heads, which the lifelong day are carried through the streets on boards, and cause an odor almost as horrible as the lit- tle sausages which the softas are so fond of. These Sausages are composed Of an imdescribablo mess of meat, formed by the fingers into cones and cylinders, and then passed ov: which there is fire, Besides the con: disgusting food, the softas have another occupation at present; they visit the shopkeepers, drink black coffee m the, bazasrs, and serve a8 a protection against the rob- bing propensities of the Arnauts. Here and there a Nizam or a Redif may also be seen per- forming this uselul service of the sottas, * * ® Twill spare my readers the sad and sicken- ing description of wounds and operations, and only mention that in general the number of cuts and bay- onet thrusts was sinall, that of the gunsiot wounds Very great; in some rooms a number of the men had Deen shot in the back. The wounded arrive trom the battle flelds in @ pitiable condition; the balls and linters of bone have not been extracted, their wounds are only closed with ferrum sesqui chioratum solutum, and for days the batis sometimes remain in them, causing the inost dreadful incrustations to be formed. ‘The rational treatment of the patients meets with many difficulties, especially, as already stated, from the want of mace, of and greater number of skiliul doctors and’ nurses; then, in the absence of proper syringes, the doctors are obliced to use little glass ones, and the cleansing of the wounds being thus only impertectly performed, most of them assume a dangerous character and the mortality increases in an alarming manner. The operations are pertormed by a professor of sur- gery, Who came from Constantinople for this purposo, accompanied by a number of medical students, but he brought such an imperiect supply of instruments with him that every operation occasioned a great loss of blood. At last a young Viennese surgeon, Dr. Lich- tenatern, proposed that the so-called Esmarch kui should be used, and, as no other instrument of this kind was to be found, he pea his own at the dispo- sition of the operator, Since then the loss of blood during the operations, and the nuinber of those who ¢ie irom them, have been leas, AN ENGLISH TOURIST IN SERVIA, To Tax KviTor or THE Loxpox Morwina Post:— Sir—l have just returned from a fortnight’s tour in Servia, and as I have not scen any newspaper during ‘that period I was naturally véry interested iu reading ‘the war news in the English papers and the comments thereon, Most of tho telegrams irom Belgrade, espe- cially thoso from French sources, are ridiculously an- trae, The tact is that the fighting during the last ton jays bas been on a smail scale, and that no decisive ‘advantage has been gained by the Servians; in fact, on Saturday last it was a question whether the Servian troops would stand their ground betore Alexinata, ard it was ouly by the great exertions of their oificers that they did so, The exact number of Turkish corpses which teil into the haads of the Servians was 250 during the fighting of Friday and Satarday jast, These Were burned under the superintendence of a Russian medical olficer, The Servian loss was less killed, as they fought toa great extent under cov The number of their wounded 18 very great Between Semendria and Parachin I counied nearly 1,200 on the road returning to their homes or going tothe ambu- lances at Se:wendria or Bolgrade, ‘The great majority of these were wounded in the fingers of the left naud, Tam sorry to say that there is now na doubt that two- thirds of these weunds are seli-inflicted. The chief doctor of the Russian ambulance at Jagodina, and also an English surgeon there, whose name for obvious reasons i cannot give, both assured me of this. It is very difficult’ to bring a charge of this sort home to & man, as of course these wounds can only be seif-inflicted in the heat of action, and as the Russian doctor said, “It is not the business of a medical man to give up tlrese culprits to j however strongly he may suspect them.” can ascertain there have been thirty-seven men shot for this oitence. I should think that peace would be pled by the Servians with wh tion of a smuail war party at Belgrade, Dut the option for peace or war bas now passed out of their hands. It is Russia which is fighting the Turks ou Servian ground, Ras- sian is now spoken everywhere, The Servian officer appears to have retirea into private hfe, and his piace taken by the Russian, Imperceptibiy Servia is be- coming a mere Rnssian province. If she expects to get rid of this incubus as easily as she gor it she will be grievously mistaken, Only yes- terday | saw twenty-five Russian officers ia unitorm Jand at Dabravitz from the Danube steamer. Convey- ances Were waiting for them, and they drove off at once bo the fro I was told by @ Servian gentleman on board the steqner thata very small proportion of these officers go lhrough Belgrade, for ressons best known to themseives, I am afraid that this 18a very disjomted letter, bat, asl can vouch for tho truth of what I have said, perhaps you will think it worthy of insertion.
