To be grateful isthe most diMcult task ever. wet us, Ifyouare determined to get the beam out of your n eye before you put your fingers into your broth- er’s eyes to get his mote out, you will probably be very busy for the next few years. A quaint minister once said, **Now, brethren, | pro- pose to throw this hymn book atthe man who used profane language yesterday.’? He made the necessary gesture, as though be would burl the book, and, curi- ously enough, every man in the congregution ducked nis head, The advice which a colored man gave to a new preacher just before he entered the pulpit may not be wholly inapplicable to persons of a lighter shade. He said, “Please touch lightly on stealin’ this mornin’, because it’s apt to have a dampenin’ effect on the con- gregation,”” A poor excuse is worse than none, A lady once said to Mr. Sheridan, ‘The weather has cleared up now and I will go out and walk with you.’? He was a bit puzzled, but soon replied, ‘‘Madam, the weatner bas cleared up enough forone, but not enough for two,’ and went out fora stroli by himselt. It ts always bet- ter weather for ourselves when wo want to do any- thing than itis for anotber when wedon’t want bim todoit, It rains very hard if we want to stay at home, but it’s nothing but a light shower if we want to go out, Some people act as though the chief business of life isto find faulty They nover look at anything with the expectation of enjoyment, but with the determination to grumble and to find some flaw that will give them a good excuse tor it. They always remind us of the poor fellow who was where tourists ‘like to be as soon as possidle after they start, “about haif seas over,”’ and who on returning to his home muttered, “Well, if I find my wife up I'l! scold. What business has sho to be wasting fire and light? And if I find her in bed Vil scold. What business has sho to go to bed before I got home?” George Francis Train has become philosophical in his diction and obscure in his tdeas. A great moral affliction has lately befallen him in that he has “sunk bis egotism in the unjversal.”’ We shall never be able to give bim the proper meed of praise for such an enor- mous sacrifice, He has given allhe had to ‘the uni- versal,’? but does not tellus who or what this “uni- versal” ig that has thus gorged himself. Nothing is left of Mr, Train, but the ‘universal’ has increased its boundaries to those of the inflnite. Carlyle is never exactly reverential, but when hie critical faculty is unduly excited—a faculty which has made his writings like a two-edged sword—his lan- guage is always expressive, He has known tho Dar- wins, father and son, and docs not hesitate to tell them that, though they may have travelled along their own ancestral path when they tried to prove that man 18 descended from the monkey, they have no right to include his family also in the rash statement. He stigmatizes the Darwinian theory as “a gospel of dirt,” and then rises to something ot his old eloquence when he says that in his gray-huired age he is more and more impressed with the truth of that statement of the catechism, that ‘the chief end of manisto glorify God.” Since a man’s life always runs in the line of his ancestry; it isa little safer to believe in Carlylo’s God than in Darwin’s monkey. Aman who uses his tongue too much is apt to use his hands too little. Great professors are not often great doers. Life is not long enough to permit us to become proficient in two directions. ‘My business ts to talk,” said one of those self-clected saints who teach others tho way, but go not therein themselves, “Yes,” was the sharp reply, ‘and J have never known your place of business to be closed.”? Pacunius once said, “I hato the men that are idle in deed and philosophical in word,’” In the marriage scrvicethe ominous word ‘‘obey” stands out with singular prominence. Wo have often wondered how honorable and sensitive women could reply to the question whether they will obey the man with such adecided and resonant “I will” 1tis all explained, however, by a recent effort of metaphysics, and in this way—viz: that the woman at that,particu- Jar moment stands asthe sponsor of tho man, and whon asked if she will obey, she means that she will see toitthat he obeys. With this interpretation the marriage s:rvice is safe, and the oxperience of every man proves that women profoundly appreciate the ob- Ingation they take on themeelves, and spend the greater part of ‘thelr fives"in the endeavor, seldom vain, to carry out that important clause of the contract, It is a little curious that the last syllable of the name of our great ancestor Adam should be perpetuated in every known language. It seems to be in constunt uso and on every important occasion. Darwin may argue asbe pleases; but she remembrance of our klepto- maniac progenitor will never be forgotten so long as human nature is subject to those numerous accidents, which can be characterized ouly by an expressive ex- pletive. Father Beckx has a project on foot to buy the whole of Palestine from the Turks. He has a friend at court, and the negotiation is proceeding rapidly and success. fully. He proposes to dispose of the Mosques of Omar at public auction, to cradicate from the land every trace of the chibouk and coffee loving Pagan, and to establish Christian institutions in their stead. Jaffa will be made a first class harbor, and a railroad will be constructed from tho seaboard to the land of Moab, You will soon be able to tako a Pullman car instead of camel’s hump, and run through the land at the rate of forty miles an hour. First class hotels will be erectod at Jerusalem, and summer resorts on the Sea of Galilee and onthe edge ot Mount Lebanon. The romance of travel 1s fading away. We are to havo the iron horse instead of Areb steeds, and stern facts instead of pootry. Mr. Beecher gives nine reasons why people ought not to go to theatres, Ono of them Is that the legiti- mate drama is an impossibility, and that a theatre that should produce plays entirely unexceptionable ‘would not pay its expenses, It does seem a pity that the sterling and classic drama should hide its dimin- ished head, while crowds attend wherever an aciress ig willing to wear a dress that “begins a little to late and ends a little too soon.”’ It is not exactly a pleas- ant comment to make, and yet it is true that while we ure willing to eulogize Shakespeare, to pct a heavy Jaurei wreath on his brow and to show our respect and admiration in any other way which may be suggested, the body of the people, when looking for an evening’ solid enjoyment, prefer the ‘*Black Crook.’’ 01 course thia is not to be contessed, but the reason for this state of things is to be pondered over in private The Queen of Madagascar is not well posted in some of the important clements of modern civilization. She bas recently passed a law by which liquor dealers are held responsible tor what is done by their cus- tomers while under the influence of what has boen sold to them. The law has acted as something of a check on the liquor trafic. Woof America pursue a diflerent policy, We give the dealer the right to sei but punish the man who buys and then commitsa crime. We encourage him to drink, because that in- creases our revenue, and when, in consequence of drinking, he becomes obstreporous, we him $10 tor breaking the peace, and so the traffic is made to pay atboth ends, The Queen of Madagascar ix very far behind the times, The Bibte says that no man can serve two masters and of course it ts correct in the statement, though, peopic find it very: hard to believe it Every one wants to try the experiment for himself, then he knows by his burned fugers that he has been too pear the fire. Talleyrand also tried to play two games at the samo time, and failed jast like an ordinary man, When Charles X. died he drove through Pers for @ coupie of days wearnmg white hat, Ina con’ a neat piece of black crape. When he went ibroagh the Faubourg of the Carlists he whipped the crape out of his pocket, twisted it about his hat, and looked as mourntul as thor he bad lost his best iriend, When, however, he came to the quarter of the Tuileries be deftly slipped the crape of, put it into his pocket and looked around with a bewitching smile. Go thou and du otherwise, Young people will never learn by the experience of their fathors, but must bave their own tumbles and bruises before tney Mud out the difference vetween the right and the wrong. ‘You can’t go to the theatre, my dear,” said a fond parent to her somowhat gay off- spring. age!” “Well, I want to see the folly of it, too’ And she will never know as much as her mother does watil she loarns It by personal experience, You can give your whildron ainest anything else, but that one and all important thing they must get bor themsalves, THE BRICK CHURCH PASTOR. SKETCH OF REY. L, D, BEVAN'S LIFE AND LABORS—-CHARACTER1IofIC8 OF HIS PREACH- ING, To-day it is expected that the Rev. Lewellyn D. Bovan, of London, England, will begin bis pastorate with the Brick Presbyterian church, in this city. He expected to leave for this country on the 2d inst., hav- ing preached bis farewell sermon to his Tottenham Court Road congregation on the Sabbath precoding. On the Tuesday evening foliqwing the chapel was crowded with people, gathered to bid him a formal farewell and to receive his adteus in return. Many of tho leading Congregational ministers iu London and vicinity were present and made touching addresses. Several tokens of affectionate esteem were presented to the retiring pastor, including a beautiful silver salver from the hurch and congregation, an album containing p« traits of the Sunday school staf, and case for the library tabie from the scholars, evan imadw @ parting address, which is represented as being tail of tender teeling and inspiration. Mr. Bevan has twice visited this coantry and occur pied Dr, Seudder’s pulpit in the Central Congrega- tional chureh, Brooklyn, and there the Brick church committee heard him and conceived the idea of in viting him to become their pastor. But though well satished with his piety and pulpit ability bere the church appointed a committee totolliow Mr. Bevan to London and note his work at home. They returned, not only satisfied, bat husiastic in bis favor, and by & unanimous voto of the church at a meeting called tw hear the committee's report a cali was extended by telegraph and by letter, and after due consideration Mr. Bevan yacceptea. He had received in the mean- tume two other calls—one toa pastorate in England and one to a college presidency in Australia. The Brick church olfer Mr, Bevan w handsome parson- age within three minutes’ walk of the church, well furnished and appointed, and $6,000 a year salary. Mr. Bevan 18 thirty-lour years of ago and bas been eighteen years inthe ministry, which be eucered as a boy, assisting the Rey, Dr. Thomas Binney in tbe King’s Weigh House Chapel, London, for one year as a licen- Sate, after which be was ordained and became co- pastor with tho greatest Nonconformist pastor of the age. He is a graduate of the Loudon University. In 1869 be accepted the pastorate of the Tottenham Court road chapel, whore George Whitfield proached in other years, Upon going to his new sphere of labor Mr, Bovan found that Ne bad not only to gather acon- gregation, but afterward to induce them to wipe off the burden of adebt of no loss weight than £7,000. Through zealous efforts this sum has now been reduced to less than £2,000, Mr. Bevan has an agreeable presence, a magnificent voice, a cheerful, buoyant temperament, profound good nature and a nobie clocution; but all ‘these with him are but aids to help him to become ‘ws good minister of Jesus Christ.” Ho is an extensive reader and a ripe scholar, but he bas achieved his suc- cess through not being ‘ashamed of the Gospel of Christ.’” {@ morning discourse generally aims at enlarging tho spiritual conception and oullying the lite of the believer. In the evening is more emo- tonal, and the sermon is usually devoted to the win- Bing of sinners and to the refreshment saints by a return to the principles of the faith, Thea, too, he tx a great Sunday school man, and bas preached and written forcibly and extensively for the guidance and encouragement of Sunday school teachers, Outside his own church his labors as a lecturer und plasiorm speaker have been incessant. He ts s vigorous iriend of the temperance movement and has often preached and lectured 1n its behalf, He bas been the steadinst friend of tho Workingmen’s Coliege established by the late Rev. Frederick Maurice, About three yeers ago Mr. Bevan accepted the Professorship at New College of English Language and Literature, and also became a member of the School Board for London. And those Positions be bas now resigned to accept a pastorat our city. He will be cormally welcomed by his breth- ren in the ministry here, and measures will shortly be taken by the Presbytery for his installation. To tas Epiror ov THe HeRaLp:— In last Sunday’s issue I notice an article headed, “A Dying Denomination,’ which you designate as Chris- tians or “Campbollites.”” This is a mistake, aud per- mit mo to correct it, If there ever were any Camp- bellites they died long since, and nobody mourns their demise. But the people to whom you refer under that “nickname” are noither dead nor dying. Moreover they have no such assemblios as ‘‘coulerences,” and no leader nor tounder save Christ. They are largely known as ‘Disciples of Christ,’” more properly “Chria- tana”? They are conceded by other churches to be jn numbera the fourth Protestant body in the United States, besides having considerable strength in foreign countries, giving them at the very lowest es- timate 500,000 members, They have more than twenty justitutions of learning ranging from the seminary to the university. They now publish eleven weekly nowspapers, four Sunday schovl woeklics, seven montblies and one quarterly, besides over 1,000,000 pages of tracts a. Of books they have pub. lished since 1823 more than 250 original works, some ot them reaching thousands of copies. Thoy now have three toreign missionaries doing effective work abroad besides sustaining many home missions, and are grow- ing im weaith, numbers and intluence wherever their work is prosecuted. J. O. CUTT e Pastor Church of Christ, Tully, N. Y. A DYING DENOMINATION REVIVED. To tux Eprror oy THe Hxaatp:— A paragraph in your paper last Sunday under the caption, “A Dying Denomination,” does very great, though I am persuaded unintentional, injustice” It speaks of the ‘Christians or Campbellites” as number- ing only about 70,000, and upon the authority of one of their prominent ministers, the Rev. J. P. Watson, states that for the last twenty-flve years the denomi- nation inthe United States has made no progress. Now I presume the writor of this paregraph intended to refer toa denomination taking the name ‘‘Chris- tian,” but sometimes nicknamed “Newlights, a differ. ent body of people from those who are sometines called, (never by themselves), ‘*Campbellites,’* n ristian Quarterly for July, current year, I find the tollowing statisticel table, showing something of the strength and work of the ‘-Christians, or Camp- bellites’”’ in the United States: + 3,000 +. 4,800 Number of members, about « 400,000 Number of institutions of learning. : 20 Number of periodicals published.. = 20 ln the Christian Standard of the 9th iast/ the lead- ing weekly of the denomination, published in Cipein- nati, may be found the following editorial statement concerning theie publishing enterprises, from which some estimate may be made as to their “progress” in the “last twenty-t years: “In 1823 the Christian Baptist, a small monthly, be- gan to be published by Alexander Campbell with only a few hundred subscribers. They now publish cleven wooklies, most of them eight pages, with an aggregate weekly circulation of about 50,0U0; four Sunday school weeklies, with an aggregate circulation of trom 50,000 to 70,000; seven monthlies, aggregating per month about 30,000, and one quarterly, with a circulation of 200,” The “Christians or Campbellites” do not ‘reject the personality of the Holy Spirit;” they have no orgauiza- tion known as the ‘Northern Iilinois Coaference,’’ nor the **Miami Conference,” nor any other ‘‘conlerence,”’ and, finally, ‘Rev. J, ¥. Watson’ never belonged to the denomination. D. R, VAN BUSKIRK. Naw York, Dec, 16, 1876, SYNAGOGUE WORSHIP. THE FEAST OF CHANUKA—WHY ISRAELITES HONOR THE WARS OF THE MACCABRES—SER- MON BY DR. GOTTHEIL. As a basis for his discourse in the Temple Emanuel yesterday morning, tho Rev. Dr. Gottheil read the fiftieth chapter of Isaiab, which describes the spirit- ual divorcement of Israel ara God’s power to redeem them and restore them again to favor. The Dovtur remarked that there is no period in Jewish history that deservos more and that yet has received Jess attention than the period of the Maccabean wars which we com- memorate to-day. All our commemoration, he said, singing ms. A golden candlestick bearing eight lighted wax can- dles stood upon a small tablo beneath the pulpit aud facing the cet isle of the synagogue, And it is the barrenness of our ritual that bas caused these things to be banished from our memory. None of the mani- festations of other services attend these; and yet wo can regard these memorial days as possessing all the elements which can make the period they commemo: ate ever memorable, If we look in the events of that period for that which can appeal to our sympathy we shall Gnd it in the sufferings of the people; in the smiling fields turned into deserts, the city of Jerusa- lem draped in mourning, and tho temple polluted by idolatry, ‘The prophet Isaiah declares that all this shall be changed into joy, the sackcloth of mourning shall give place to the garments of praise, and bymos of joy sbali supersede the weoping of the peopic of Israel as they go to appear betoro God. It ‘we look lor the heroic we b inthe daring valor Maceabean chieis and their tollowers—deeds while even hustory has chronicled none greater.

For it was by the for- eign powers that the Maccabeans trusted that the Jewish nation was overpowered and destroyed. These “pious ones" way have been too conservative, but they were true and taitbful lovers of their country and of their religion. But there was another party hostile to the insurrection, They were called Hellen- ists—that is, imitators of the Greeks. Now, these Hellenists clasped hands with the nation’s bitterest foes and joined the ranks against thoir own countr, men, They openly declared their preferences for the Greek religion and did their best to destroy the Jewish. They announced their determina- tion to abandon for ever Juda'sm, and to hasten the time when the temple in Jerusalem should be used by Antiochus for the worship of pagan gods, They were anmious to bring on the golden era when the God of Abraham would be heurd of 10 more, and when His Ww, given by Moses, should be unknown and the great lawgiver be considered amyth. They organized their natioual apostacy aud took up arms to defead their own words, The Studied contempt of thut party for everything Jewish was harder to be met than the opposition of the enemy in the field, They wero simply used as tools and afterward thrown away. As the Talmud says, the cringing man 1s despised by none more than by those on Whom they fawn. His- tory has judged those men. They bave d own people, while the Maccabees impressively us heroes, history has inscribed their ames on the rol! of the noble dead who from their urns to-day rule the world, NOTHING LIKE SUCCESS IN WAR. L know, said Dr, Gotthetl, that sceptics will say the one was success(ul and the other was defeated and that “nothing succeeds so well as success.” But if the Hellevists had becn successtul we should not have ad- mired or honored them. The Poles have tried for a century to liberate their peoplo, but have-talied. bey have lost everything except the respect of the world, which 1s theirs to- It 18 not good or 11) suc that turns tho scale, but the internal man, revealed through the actions, that determines our last Judgment We look for and honor motive, and if we find that to be honest, upright and pure our esteem will cover @ multitude of mistakes. We look to the tender regard for and the love of the good and the true which men manifest before we bestow praise or blame on them. When the Maccabees sounded the cry of alarm the Hellenists curried favor with the powers that then ex- ieted and kissed the rod that chastised them, Whilo we may not denounce them, let the deeds of the M cabees inspire us to greater devotion inthe main- tenance of their pledges and the solemn obil- gations imposed upon us by Providence. No deeds of daring aro asked of us Now men look upon us with favor, We havo need to be faithiul to ourselves without being {aise to any- body eise—taithful in deed, in sentiment and work, in the good and in the evil day, in adversity as well as in prosperity. The Doctor closed with a sketch of the iniracie said to have been performed in cleaning out the temple, to restore the worship of the true God, when a bottle of sacred oil was found which was made to last during the eight days of this festival unt! frosh oil could be consecrated. Without giving much im- portance to this legeud the Doctor drew from it the Moral of the miracuivus rescusitation of Judaism when M8 epemies thought they bad destroyed it from the earth forever. So that while the nations that op- Pressed them have disappeared Israel is stronger and nore respected to-day than ever, and Judaism bas a ater future before tt to-day than it ever had for 00 years, SELF CONVIC John O'Hara, a workman employed at Ames & Co.'s spike factory in Jersey City, was convicted before Police Justice Keese yesterday of passing a counter- feit ten dollar bill and was committed for trial.
