A aroat many young men depend on their “genius” NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1876. QUADRUPLE SHE SHEET. for success, This is very woll, provided their genius 4s a genius for hard work. A clever housekeeper said the other day, with hy as she dusted the room, ‘‘Life is one long conflict with dirt.” Widen the definition of dirt,” and every cler- gyman will say the samo, The doctrine of rewards may sometimes be mis- placed. We heard lately of a Western minister who promised a valuable chromo to every one who should bo converted under his preachin, People are never satisfied with things as they are, Give them one and they ask for two; give them two and they wonder why you didn’t give them three, They are like the boy who thought he could Improve the Lord’s Prayer by making it rend, “Give us this day our daily bread—and butter, with a little cake and some apples for dessert."” Dr. Taylor has bad a tilt with the Nation on the subject of evolution. The clergyman won by being a gentleman. The Nation called him hard names and ridiculed the idea of @ minister’s knowing anything about Whately’s logic. This roused the pugnacious element which always has a biding place somewhere in every English saint, and Dr. Taylor, tn an editorial of three columns, deals some ‘‘apostolic blows and knocks,” which show plainly that the clerical muscle 1g not to be wholly disregarded when we talk about the survival of the fittest. The Methodists, North and South, recently met at Louisvills and shook hands over the bloody chasm which has separated them for years. When the Church closes up her ranks in this way the devil be- ginsto feelthat ne hasn’t been fairly treated. So Jong as the Church quarrels the devil is jubilant. The Rev. William R. Alger is a little uncertain about the relative value of the cburch and the theatre, but is more than half inclined to decide in favor of tho latter, It is dangerous to generalize on this subject Any minister has a right to say that bis own preaching is not as helpful as some acting, but he has no right to judge others by himself, After such a verdict, however, our advice would be to “step down and out.” Ifa clergyman can’t preach better than any actor can act, the trouble iswith himself, not with his theme. Every moral drama ts simply the shadow of a truth—its type, its illustration, When, then, aaninister thinks the dra- matic symbolism of truth is better-than tho truth it- self, why that charch ought Yo have an opportunity to extend a ‘‘call”’ to some one. Mr. Moody seems to be a kind of evangelical batter- Ingram. He is knocking the walls of Jeri-Chicago to Pleces very rapidly. He will not capitulate. His rule ‘eto hurlthe red hot shot into the enomy’s works until be surrenders unconditionally. It is Boston’s turo next, The New York Observer has an article on ‘‘Non- heading Cabbages,”’ and the way In which thoy can be induced to come to something. Cuabbages are not alone in sometimes failing to come to a head, and if a rule can be found that will apply equally to the vegetablo and the animal world a great gain will be attained. An over-zealous partisan has rashly rushed into print to protest against the fashion of putting crosses oncandy. His argument is not that the cross is de- preciated or that the candy is spoiled thereby, but that it isan encouragement of papacy. It must cer- tainly be a device of those cunning Jesuits who have all gone into the confectionery business with the hope of convorting the wofld by putting crosses on sweet- meats, Ring tho alarm boll, for the country is in danger! Areally good prescription isan element of moral force in the community. Nothing is more to be dreaded than hydrophobia. Remember, then, that it can always be prevented by rapidly climbinga tree when a mad dog 18 going by. 1fasound thrashing could be communicated by let- ter a great many people would use the post office who hesitate about delivering thoir own missives, It is so much safer to get behind a fence and see our enemies punished than it is to administer the punishment our- selves that until some such devico shall be invented a large amount of forgiveness will lie latent iu human nature. Mr. ¥. Benson, Sr., gives some ‘‘Rooles for Playing onto a Organ,”? which have been adopted in many of ourchurches, He say: ‘When a him is give out to be sung, play over the whole toon before the singin’, but be sure to play it so nobody can tell whether it’s that toon or some other toon, It will amdoso the peo- ple to gess.”” Another “roole,” if strictly followed, will succeed in confusing everybody, which is the prime object in congregational singing “Play the ip- terludes with the toon without letting them kno when the toon begins, This will teach them to mind their bizness.”” ‘Don’t go to sleep during the first part of your min- ister’s sermon, At least pay bim the compliment of supposing that he will be both instructive and ent. taining. If, however, after fficen minutes you feel drowsy, you can go to sleep with a quiet conscience, because you have given him a fair chance to keop you awake, and he couldn’t do it, One would think it impossible to be ovor-religious, and yet this may sometimes be the case. We heard once of a dear old Jady who had two pianos, one for Italian airs and the other for Moody and Sankey’s col- lection, The Sunday piano was glum and dumb all the week, ang, like the Pharisees, thanked God that it wasn’t like other pianos, or ‘even like this poor pub- jiean of an instrument.” It’s a dreadfui mistortune to have a religion which you hang up in a dark closet on Sunday night as youdo your black sult, because you are apt not to take eitber of them down again fora week. Plain, everyday religion 1s the best, alter all, Some of the religious papers are baving a hearty laugh over the way in which the Nation tells them to keep still and let scientific men settle everything. It is amusing to see the tprusts 4 parries, First, the Nation tells the clergy, who have insisted with con- siderable emphasis that John Milton did not make the world, that they don’t know anything about proto- plasm, and, ergo, have noright to say whether Joho Milton did or did not, atleast, havea hand in chaos ‘The religious papers retort with a phrase, elegant in diction, but which, alter being sifted and renuered Into the vernacular, really means, ‘Shoo fly, don’t bother nie” The Nation suys that no minister was present dur- fog the six days of creation, and can therefore speak with no certainty whatever concerning what occurred, and then clinches the argument bythe rash assertion that Jurgensen watches were not invented at that early period, and therefore if a minister had been there he would have been without the proper means of determining the exact length of time which elapsed while the universe was being put into running order. At this the clorical Ebenezer is aroused, and the Nation is requested to give the initials and birth. piace of {ts own venerablo reporter, who was a lookor- op on that occasion, and to state the position he oc- cupied asa point of observation, and then intimates that it may bave been the man in the moon who fur- nished all these negations which science 1s flinging at theology. We aro watching the progress of events with great interest, Science 1s an irresistible energy without doubt, and theology 1s an immovable fixture, | What the rosult will be when the irresistibie rushes impetuously against the 1mmovable it will hardly bo sale to prodict. A CHURCH SAVED. More than a year ago the Metropolitan Savings Bank foreciosed its mortgage on the property of tho West Filty-third street Baptist church, The pastor, Dr. Pen- dietou, resigned and went to Rhode Island, The church society has had a precarious existence ever since, but has maivtaimed its corporate existence and bas had preaching service in its house of worship whenever it could, the owners not obj % A scheme has now been consummated whereby this property is to be saved to the denomination, the society has beeu reorganized and revived and a career of prosperity placed before in =A few weeks ago the Kev.

THE EFFECT OF AN ACT OF DISCIPLINE EXER- CISED AT THE WRONG TIME—A BAPTIST SOCIETY TURNED OUT OF ITS CHUBCH HOME, The Heratp has often deprecated the readiness with which church members rush into the civil courts with their grievances. It is im general far easier‘ to com- promise a matter of dispute between mon who make no profeesion of religion than with those whe stand high ip the Church, After twelve or more years?’ liti. gation in the courts of this State a Baptist society of ‘this city has been deprived of its place of worship, and Sunday had to accept the kind offer of its neighbors, About fifteen years ago the Lexington ave- nue Baptist eburch erected a bandsome and commo- dious edifice on Madison avenue and Thirty-first street atacoss of $130,0u0, There was a debt of $70,000 on the property. The Rev. Dr. Hague, now of Boston, was then the pastor. Tho Oliver street Baptist Chureh Society decided to move up town about this time, and alter negotiations between them and the Madison avenue society a union was formed. According to the agreement, the Madi- gon avenue church trustees sold their edi- fice to the trustees of the Oliver street church, and their members were all received into the Oliver street church before moving. The property of ‘the Oliver street church was sold and the proceeds, some $65,000 or $70,000 were used, as agreed, in ex- Unguishing mortgages on the new church building. When the election of the pew trustees took place, Mr, Milbank, the most active member of the former Madison avenue Board of Trustees, failed of election. His business (that of brewer) was against him itp the eyes of the newcomers, and bis defeat was deemed by his friends as lation of good Iaith, and was the be- gibning of the subsequent trouble in the ghurch. His the Boara of Tr ww use the Baptist Weekly, was “a blunder worse For neither be por those associated with him were at the time amenable to the body that exercised the act of discipiine, Much bitter feeling re- sulted, and several aggrieved members withdrew trom the church, and among them the defeated trustee. The little band kept up their organization, and for fourteen oars have held religious service: exch other's Boupee Nearly ail of them were in the old Board of Trustees, und ull were energetic und active men. AN ACTION YOR KJRCTMENT followed which wus inthe courts for some twelvo years, until, finally, ull the rulings of the lower courts were set uside by the Court of Appeuls, which decided that the title given was worthiess, that there had been no purchase and aale, paying off debts not being a proper consideration. The act conveying the church prop- erty having been made precedent to the union con- templated between the two churches, and the question ot the legality of the transfer having beon submitted to the Court, no discipliuary course was proper while that issue remained unsettied. That point, having bewn determined by the last decision of the Court, is a proof of the error committed in excluding one over whom the church bad no jurisdiction. The old Madison avebue corporation nas been de- clared the true owners of the property. It isa cor- poration without a congregation, and bas come ino possession of an elegant building, out of debt, and far © valuablo than when it was conveyed. The church which worshipped there claimed betore tho Court that the victorious corporation bad taken their money and agreed to give them a title, and had suc cessfully agsutied the title they had themselves given. Those in possession asked an cquitable settlement from the Court, but the party which had gained, te suit believed themselves grossly wronge: thought their confidence had boen abused nt election, the treatment they had fr. unchristian; that in recovering their property they bad been subjected to great expense and their patience tried by Mg ‘% Of resistance, Moreover, their foremost m: Mr. Millbank, had fuded from the church.

ADLER’S ETHICAL PROBLEMS, To ram Epitor or THe HaxALy:— Four elaborate lectures were needed for Dr. Felix Adler to disclose to his hearers whut? His inability to solve the problem of the immortality of the soul, or even to add the semblance of an argument toward its solution, ‘He admits that the reasons for and against the belief are equally strong. Mr. Frothingham said the same thing as recently as the 14th of May, 1876, at Masonic Hall, witbia less than ten minutes, and then stated bis own view of the idea of immortality in about the same measure of timo— a view which evidently gave Dr, Adler the keynote to his exordium a few Sundays ago, If thisisnotacase of parluriunt montes, there never was one, Worse still, for a young man vio- lently to assail and even ridicule a belief which no man who 1s not blinded by ambition could afford to treat otnerwise than with the utmoss tenderness, and then to admit his inability either to deny or to afirm it, is Bot a proceeding which will command the re- spect of the public, The only practical advice the Doctor gave his hear- not to look to t realter ior apy rewai for her own sake, Is thut lution of ‘Ethical Problems?” ago was that found?

MR. JACOBS. The Rev. Heary S$. Jacobs yesterday drew some practical lessons from that part of his patriarchal namesake's history which descrives him as returoing home after twenty years’ absence, and being in dread of the revenge which his angry and deceived brother Esau might ve inclined to take. The patriarch dis- posed his family aud worldly possessions into three bands, and made such preparations as be could toward conciliating nis brother, and, in case of failure, to fight or fly, or both. And having thus don! he could he committed his cause to God in prayer at the ford of Jordan. Ho sought God, said Mr. Jacobs, ta that beautiful prayer in which he poured out his soul and told the Almighty that he was not worthy of the least of all the mercies and of all the truth which God for, said he, with my staff I passed over this Jordan und now I am become two bands, Deliver me, I pray thee, trom the band of my brother, for I jear him lest he will come and smite mo andthe mother with the children. (Genesis, xxxii., 10,11.) We should take, suid Mr, Jacobs, the same threefold method to meet the dangers that impend and threaten us by appeasing gifts, gifte of kindness and sacrifices of love and forbearance. These are the best offcrings that we can make belere God. Jacob did not VAUNT HIS WORLDLY POBSRSSTONS brother. He was still the humbie servant of whose kindly advances and reconcill he sought. He did not claim that authority wh’ possession of the birthright and hia father's = ing had given him over bis brothe: am a strap; and a sojourner here,’’ he replied, ind what are ail these things but baubles light int? We ought, said the preacher, to come before our brethren ag Jasob did defore his brother, feeling that what we have and are are but the gifts of God, We must not expect to ride roughshod over the oveks of others, relying merely upon our worldly possesgions, but, depending on Providence, seek to avert the threatened danger by reconciliation, But if this tails we should be prepared to meet it by fighung if neod be. A man noed not have bis band against every man and every man’s hund against him, as was Ish- mael’s; but he ought to have some confidence in his own prowess and powers and efforts, aud make the Dest light he is capable of doing against misfortune, and outof tho nettle danger to pluck the flower of safety, A nan should not cast himself duwn in griet Decuuse trouble comes upon bim, Rather let him per- form those duties of life that demand bis attention and without repining. Fight, then, battle of life, and, knowing your rights, dare to main- Yan them. And then add to all your previous cilorts prayer. Get the help of Divine Providence—that help Which gives the suul success in all our endeavors, And shall we notas Israelites accept the Iveson that our fathers have lett us and forget not that THERE 14 A STREAM OF IKLP that comes from God? And let that be the thought that shall never be obliterated trom the human mind and heart. Butid—but build with allthe human cer- tainty that success will crown your efforts, and every difficulty created or reared against you must fall betore the single effort of God’s powor, 1s not this then a lesson that we ought to learn, that nothing earthly is omnipotent, and that the power that is omnipotent can be reached by prayer. the men of the present day rai! against pray. them talk philosophically ana learnedly ; le about it, and piausibly assure us that what has been Guar will come to pass, and we canzot alter it by er, and hence it Tote use to pray; but let us jeei anu recognize that when dunger threatens, we who ave an untailing helper.
