Frothingham’s Opinion of the Crucifixion— Punishment for a Political Olfence. PLYMOUTH CHURCH. THE DIVINE IN THE HUMAN—SERMON BY REY. HENRY WARD BEECHER, The pastor of Plymouth Church returned to his congregation yesterday morning, alter an absence of some seven weeks upon & lecture tour. He was groeted by a massive assemblage, whose lighted coun- tenances bespoke his glad welcome. Mr. Beecher, for the foundation of his text, read trom the second chap- ‘er of Philippians that portion referring to the mind of Christ in man, He began by saying that the noblest thing in this world was that which is known least—viz., the beau- Mita! symmetry of Christian character. Men de- manded something of a magnificent spectacle, ac- companied by wide resounding noise, while the silent beauties and glories of o divine soul very few understood, very few pondered and very few appreciated. Yet, he said, not battles, nor dynasties, nor nations were for a moment’ to be com- pared for grandeur or majesty with a single soul that bad been uplifted toward tho pertect stature of Jesus Christ, Men were commanded to grow tn grace, to open their hearts to the Suviour and lot Him come to dwell therein, But there, bo said, interposed a dra- matic, historical argameat, The Saviour bade them to fulfil His joy; to be like-minded, so that there might be concert of thought and feeling between them. They were to become of one accord, one mind—nothing was to be done through strife nor vain glory, The preacher urged his hearers not to be so concentrated in building up themselves as to be unsympathizing with the like efforts of those about them, Christ, he sald, took upon Himself the form of a servant, and being formed in the game fashion as a man, in the sume relations to time, matier and society, He bum~ Died Himsel! accordingly. He became obedient, not enly to the civil laws and the social laws, but even ‘unto the law of death. THE GARDEN OF EDEN. Mr. Beecher suid there were those who held the bis- tory of tho first man and the first woman in the Gar- den of Eden to bo fictitious and paravohe There were those, too, who regarded the same transcription ina literal’ sense, But both classes agree that the race sprung trom a very low point in the moral world, However much Adam and Eve may have been created = in positive holiness, — their offspring certainly were not. However much Adam and Eve may have fallen trom a high toa low position, their offspring did not, tor they were born in low degree and could not have fallen upward. ‘the human race began us listory trom the bottom edge; and here came in the problem how to make kuown to & nascent race Lhe existence of an ineitable God, Such, he sald, was the standpomt from whicn every man should judge of the divinity of Christ. It asked what was becoming 1n God in making Himself known to the face, men were unable to reply on that side of the question; but if asked what was necessary for tho human race in such a revelation, it was an inquiry in which all were interested. Those attributes of inan ving by the course of appetite, by the whole range of those faculties which seize on organic matter, could Bot be disintegrated from the anunal side of his na- ture, But there was another side to be worked upon, If only the right method were adopted. How, asked the preacher, should man, woo was buta litte above the dog, the ox or the horse, be taught to understand the existence of a Spiritual Being’ Some people would answer that God should just simply tell them whe Ho was, and that would sullice. It coula not be done; there must be some reciprocity of iniluence, and to tell @ race that lives to eut, to drivk and fight, of w sell-sacrificing god, would be of People could not be told of a divine virtue unless they had previously bad some experience of the same vir- tue, The teachings at first must be alphabetical, as it were, and as it wus in tbe earlier stages, In the begin- ning 2 God of unity was taugbt to mankind, and He was regarded as 4 God of law, Afier that bad been establisued Christ came into the world to expiain the interior nature of the divine. KNOWLEDGE OV MEN. These two stages in the approuch of God to man were illustrated by Mr. Beecher by the knowledge that men obtain of their fellows through intimate companionship. Ho said bo knew of Bistnarck through what be read of bim as a dip. Jowat and a prince But if he could be thrown into close fellowship with bim he would in a very short time learn more of Bismarck than the news- papers could ever inform nim, though they preiended to understand protty thoroughly ail there was to un- derstand. Knowledge that the soul had of soul, he said, could not be reported. The coming of au in- eflabie spirit to teach men, as a spirit, would be almost {wpossibie beyond a certain limit, But when tt was sald that Christ laid aside giory it did not mean that He won a crown and cast it from Him. No; it means that He laid asive His beauty. There were many flowers that shut tozetber when the night came on, and when night came upon Him He but did tne same, To look upon the evidence of His divinity maloly in the performanco of miracies was shorts ghted, “The preacher said that he regarded miracles only as the feebier parts, Christ Himself taunt that ‘miracles wore but intendod for unreason- ing men. They were a thing very useiol to begin with, but absolutely worthless alter tuat, ‘The Saviour came into the world, not to give God in the fuil disclosure ata ume when the hantan race could understand but little, Mothers did the same with their children; and if a mother was heard ringing Mother Goose melodies to her tnfant no person would think to ask her why sae did pot substitute Beethoven’s tenth tymphony., The problem which Christ had to solve on coming into the world was how to open up the interior sense; to teach people to live by-faith, which, Mr. Beecher suid, was pot personal conviction, but tho evidence of things unseen. All the Saviour’s sullerings were to teach the human race that the essential beauty of divinity was love, When Christ was worshipped in another sphere it would not be for the one act upon Gethsemane, but for un eternity of such acty, Tho proucher urged his hearers not to fight the battle of fulvation on texts; nor, above all, to fight it on an arithmetical basis, He conciuded with an exhortation to bow to the divine will and power. if bis hoarers could not bow the knee to a God of iron, then bow to God of golden love; 1i not toa God of omnipotence, then to a God whose crown was a crown of thorns, BROOKLYN TABERNACLE, THE LESSONS OF THE STRELTS~SERMON BY THE REV, T, DE WIT TALMAGE, Mr. Talmage preacbed yesterday morning on “The Lessons of the Streets.’ His text was takeu from Proverbs, 1., 20—“Wisdom crieth without; sho uttereth her yoico in the streets,” How few of us learn anything, said Mr, Talmage, from the voices of the noisy ‘usty street! Are there no things for us to learn i:.in those pavements over which we pass? Are there no tults of truth growing up between those cobblestones?

GEORGE N H, HEPWORTH. Mr. Hepworth preached an earnest and eloquent sermon yesterday morning trom the text Il, Chronicles, xxix, 1l—*My sons, be not now negligent, for the Lord hath chésen you to stand before him to serve him, and that ye should minteter unto him and burn incense.’’ This text, you are woll aware, said Mr, Hep- worth, points to one of the brightest epochs im the history of the people of Isracl, Hezekiah, a good man and true, loyal to the traditions of his people, to the laws of God; assuming the purple and living In the palace ot Jerusalem when he was twenty-five years of age. For twenty-nine years thoreufter hisrulo was marked by equity, justice and honesty. He was not, however, without his trials, nor yet without bis and im theso facts he becomcs a more truthful type and symbol of ourselves, There is a lesson to be drawn from the event to which the text refers of the greatest impu. vce and protoundest significance. It seems Hezekish must have had a very peculiar experience, that he must have passed through a marvellous trial before be ar- rived at tho copclusion that God is alone God, and that the servants of God are the only ones who are crowned with happiness in this world and with immortality tn the world to come, There was & season when the spirit of the Aimighty wrestled with the King, when there was a contest going on in his heart botween the element of personal ambition and the other element of spiritual sanctification and loyulty. The angel won the day and Israel Was biessed lor a whae generation. IDOLATRY OF THK ISRARLITES. Hezekiah looked about nim from, bis high position and saw the Whole land was given over to idulairy—on every hilitopa temple, on every hillside and pia a grave dedicated to pagan deities; in every village Ineo and women depressed, discouraged, disheartened, the whole nation grasping, as blindfolded children, uot | knowing what they seek. He looked into the past and saw there a nation gov- erned by the voice that cume frum the clouds, guided in all ther wanderings by tbe supernatural cloud of fire by night and of mist by day. He remembered the whole people were prosperous go long as they were Joyal; that although the evemics wo came ugainst them were like the sands upon the seashore iu number, yet the breath of the Almighty could throw them into utter contusion avd the hand of the Almighty could wrest victory from the victor. And when he compared the past with the present he arrived at the conclusion that to be disioyal to Jehovah 38 to fli this present lie ‘with discouragement; to be untrae to the Most High is to full 1u every undervaking, Like a man ot large sugacity then, King Hezekiah dotertnined to onter upon a change of régime and ad- ministration, The first work was to cleanse the tempie which had been deliied, He gathered together bis Irteuds, and they Lroke down the idols ana carried out the filti which bad been accumulating for six genera. + tions, The very walls of the temple were stained with sucreligious mnfideiity, and th wero washed with the water of living faith: There were things to be bfilt up as well as things to take down, ‘tne Unknown God was to be reinstated; the “ark’ which had been captured by the Philistines was to be restored; the whole nation must pass through a period of penttence, asking God's forgive- ness; they must ofler sacrifices in token of their re- newed loyalty, TUK TEMPLE OF GoD. Weare told inthe New Testament that we are the temple of the living God, but in what condition do wo find the temple to-day? Have we the altar of the Most High within the sacred euclosure? 1s the temple of our lives unsoiled by the stain of distrust and 1s 1s tesselated floor beautiul with God's presence aud with contluence in Him? If not, then, like Hezekiah, wo have work to do We must cleanse the temple. Everything that defiles ust be removed, everything flithy must be taken away, Are there gods set ‘up in 0} position to the one God and have we vowed down sellishness and ambition? Thea these gods of stone must be thrown trom thelr pedestals and every trace of their preseuce removed, We canavt enter into any compact with God. He will not listen Lo a Word Wo uller, Unless we take the preliminary step Of cleansing the temple. If yous lain Gou's protection you must not beloug partly to God und partly to yoursell, If you are absorbed in tnis world God ja forgotten, but it you are absorbed in God then the world is remembered. He who walks with God walks hunestly aud charitably, but he who forgets the presence of the Father in his business re- ceivus little sutisiaction, even from lis xains, Let me carry the symbol further, Having sanctified themselves rst, King Hezekiah and his Levies ex- tended the invitation of God to others, Some Christians forget thelr daty tn this respeet, To try and be saved yoursel! and not attempt the salvation of others 13 10 Joxe yourselt on the lass day.

MARTYRDOM OF MAN—SERMON BY REV, FROTHINGHAM, ‘This is Palm Sunday, said Mr, Frothingham yestere day morning, The curtain rises on the Just actin the Christian drama of the Incarnation, The last act 1 aay in the Christian drama—the drama of the Redemption. The theory of Christendom is that Jesus was the Son of God, the Incarnation of the Almighty, the omni present and omnipotent One, Ho has Onished His course aga teacher, a reformer, communicating fis truths to mankind, and now bearing Himself after the Jast great triumph—the cracision—which moans the atonement, ‘Thi#1s the day on which the Son of God is supposed--according to Christian mythology—to ba suffered all conceivable agony, sufficient to Atone for the guilt of the whole world, past and present. oO B It is necdiess jor me to say to you thar this any respect Jesus clumed to be the z of the Jews, who took upon Himseit the task of restoring the king- dom of ISruel, of re-establishing the Hebrew city, of overturning the Homan government. Hitherto He bad taught in Galilee, and kept far away !rom the great city which was the centre of Roman power. But on this particulur occasion He vetuought Himselt to test the popular feeling in regard to claim. M Frothingham bere depicted the scene of the cruci- fixiou, and added that Christ was crucified upon the charge of being « pretender to the throne of David—a political Messiah, Crucifixion, he said, was the pun ishment decreed so those who plotied aguinst the overnment, t0 those who organized insurrection. ‘esus did not organize insurrection, but He suffered death at the bands of the Roman government tor a political offence, 4 BITTER TRAGEDY. It ia aad story, he continued; a bitter tragedy, but itis a@ mistake to suppose that the sufferings of Jesus were more grievous than hundreds of others. He was unmarried, He left vo wite or children, He hud His devoted friends. He was loved by men and women. His moiher stood at the cross to comfort son tn hig death agony. His agony was shorter tha common, A morcilul spear thrust at the hands of a uardsinan terminated the brave life of that hero of azareth, He had believed until the last moment that God would vindicate Him—that by asking He would receive a legion of angels; but when they came not and the agony of death came instead that nobie heart broke, That was she bitter moment—the moment of His despair, But suppose the suflerings of Jesus were as great as they are supposed to have been—suppose vhat He did suffer more than any philanthropist before or since has suffered; we wrong a multitude when we single out a hero and exalt him for his heroism and fortitude, Iv ts not fair to the reat to magnify the greatness of one, however supreme in greatness be may have been; for the rest, not being glorified, are shamed. ‘The ideal of the pagsion i¢ not the martyrdom of Josus, but the martyrdom of men, lt was sad and sirange that the whoie Jewish race had been excom- municated aud Jesus worstipped. The Jews were not responsibie for the death of Jesus, He wus executed on political grounds, [twas the Roman government that put Him to death, The Jews could have done nothing, aud yet vecause they could not save Him they were excommunicated and made the scoff and by« word of Christianity, Even to-day tn this city of New York, because two thousand years ago the Jews don. sented that Jesus should be crucifed, these Gentiles will look with scorn upon Jewish children, considering them to be cursed for their fathers’ sake, The lesson of this great Passion Week of bumanity fs the sympathy of sorrow; sympathy between rich nd poor, tue easy and toilsome, tho great and sarall, the wise and simple, the saint and er; a common brotnerhood in humanity, Behind us are six thousand years of history; history of aspiration, endeavor, struggle and progress, Before us the unvounded future, the years uppiedged, the nours ancommitted to evil or to yood. The choice is with us whether we shall lie dowu and sleep or join the great army of ma: tyrs and upon the Calvary see the resurrection, ST, STEPHEN'S CHURCH. BLESSING AND DISTRIBUTION OF THE PALMS— 4 LARGE CONGREGATION AND & SPLENDID CEREMONY—SINGING OF THE PASSION, The service at St, Stophea’s Church yesterday morn- ing was very tmposing. The three altars were orna- mented with palms, and purple coverings concealed the pictures and crosses, but the usual number of lights illuminated the sanctuary, The congregation was go large that many persons wore unabie to find seats and had to stand in the aisles, A soleiin igh mass was sung, of which the Kev. Dr. McGlynn was the celebrant, Rev. Father McCready, the deacon, and Rev, Fathor Deflna the sud-deacon, The service, which commenced et balt-pust ten o'clock, was not concluded until halt-past one, but all the details wero extremely interesting and admirably carried out, the greatest precision being observable in tho ceremonies, Before the mass began the palms were blessed by the celebrant, the deacon and sub-deacon assisting. AS it is seldom tho blessing takes place at the half-past ten o'clock service the iarge audience present looked on with great interest at the ceremony. After a prayer a lesson was read: Y the eub-deucon, the deacon then singing a portion of the gospel‘of the day. This con- cluded, the celebrant, standing on tho altar, proceeded to chant several prayers and ended by sprinkling the palms, which were placed immediately inside the sanctuary, with holy water and fuming them with in- cense, The vlessea oka wore then distribuied by ihe celebrant to the clergy present, while a number of ushers carried them among the cougregation, THK PROCESSION. The palms having been distributed a procession was formed, headed by the thurifer, tho sub-deacoa com- ing next, carrying the cross, -which was covered with purple, ind aving acolytes on etther wide of Lum, hen came about sixty voys, dressed in dark colored cassocks and white surplices, and last of all the cele- brant, with the deacon, ali bearing palms in tueir bands, Tbe procession moved down the centre aisle, winging antuems, and when it came to the front door the celebrant, deacon and sub- deacon, with the other priests, went out into the porch, while ove priest, who remained tuside, sang the two first verses of the bymn joria Laus.?? ‘These two verses were repeated by the priests outside, and, the singer within continuing the hymn, tne priesis vutside, after every second verse, answered in the Urst verse of the hymn, To Thee, O Christ, be glory, praises loud, To Thee; hosaaua; eried whe Jewish crowd, Tho hymn being ovor the sub-deacon knocked twice with the fot of the cross at the door, which was then opened, and the procession entered and proceeded up tho centro aisle to the sauctuary, singing & bywmn, the congregation standing, The mass was then begun, all the congregation holding in their hands tue puims they had received. As soon the gospel was reached three priests entered the sunctu- ary, Wearing albs and stoles, and procceded to sing the jong gospel of the Sunday, which is taken from Matthew and to which 1s told the story of the Pus- sion, These priests were tho Rev. Fathe® McCauley, Rev, Dr. Curran aod the Rey. Fatuer Colton, the tirst named taking the part of the “narrator,” tbe second, that of the Jews, and the third, that of Christ. The chant, in its different parts, was very soloma and im pressive, At the conclusion of the Passion the mass went on as agual. Owing to the length of the service there was no sermon, but after the communion the Rev, Dr. McGlyno announced that the office of the Tenebrw would be sung in this church on Wednesda Thursday and Friday, bogivuing at four o’ciock, and that on Good Friday evening # sermon would be preached, beginuing at ball-pust seven o'clock. He aiso announced that the collections at all tho masses on Raster Sunday would be for the benefit of tho or- phan asylums of the city. TRINI CHURCH, MEDITATION ON PALM SUNDAY—DISCOURSE BY THE REV. DR, DIX, Palm Sunday was celebrated yesterday at the above named church with all the pomp and grandeur com- mon to the occasion, The rector, Dr. Dix, delivered an interesting discourse on ‘Palm Sunday.” Alter commenting for a short time on the passion, the humility and meckness of Christ, the reverend speaker baid;—To-day the holy week begins. The din of secular life will be kept up alt through these days; the infidel, the sceptic will smile tho same, yet just so was it im the city of Jerusalem in the olden time, The grave or silent week, as they used to call it, has come; the weok in which Christ sat upon the Mount of Olives and bore so much gloom and sadoess; the week in which Cirist was laid in the grave; the week im which He was scoffed at, spat upon, bumiliated, dis- graced for our sakes, Surely, there must be some of us in this congregation who aré longing to shun tho world and come to the altar of the Lord during this, the Passion Week, Kven it we are vot longing to come, my friends, We must come aud enter into the sufler- ings and triumphs of our Lord, A SYMBOL OF THE SAVIOUR'S LivE. Palm, the name of the most beagtful oi ull the trees that grow, the emblem ot ali that God gives, bow at- ting and right it Was (hat this procession should be a alm bearing procession! First the King, ineek and lowly, riding Upon an ags, wud the multitude prepar Ing (he Way ana strewing the road with paim leaves, ‘This too, if We think of 1, is a perfect symboi of our Saviour’s li'e, The righteous shail flourish as the palm tree,” says the Psulms, Above, the ieat ts all fs aud jovely to vehoid, but beneath rough and bitter, Just so in our Saviour’s lile, my bearers—suflering, temptation and bitterness beneath, but loveliness, cuinness and serenity above, The palin 18 also a sym: bol of what we all desire but ouly Christ cao give. When the children of Isracl came out of the wilaer- ness into Jerusalem, the lund of palm trees, ail lovely and green, spoke to ther souisof rest, and when Moses wud Joshoa were dead «till Jerusalem was called the City of Palms; and even thirty years aiter the tound- ing ot the Caristian Churen this is again spoken of in Luke, ‘The palm tree ta indigenous, and if we bear all these things in mind we are reminued of that precious truth Which comes a8 @ sweet breeze on a summer's day. Xud now let as apply thisto ourselves, and rest {rom the thoughts which sumetines banish sieep; rest from all our cures and view the place where ‘Jesus of Naza- reth passeth by.’? We must not be tudifterent and contemptuous, cut, like His followers of old, offer Him what weave to give with deepest veneration and love, be our giltsever #0 lowly, We must learn how to crue'ly the flesh, and lastiy, how iw die, Tho churches will be open every day; go daily. Let God hot listen in vain, Go early, go late; jom with ail your hearts in those solemp acts ot prayer, Take off ind lay aside your vestments of sin and fling them at His fect, to prove to Him your sincerity und apprecta- tion, UNITED PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, CHRIST'S DIVINITY AND HIS SUPERIORITY TO ANGELS—SERMON BY REV, DR. CAMPBELL, In the United Presbyterian Church, yesterday, there were no indications of the antagonistic opinion which prevailed at the meeting on last Monday evening. ‘rhe pastor, Rev. Dr. Campbell, conducted the services and preached the serivon, and, it hia congregation was rather scant, it Was at ail events attentive aud seom- ingly devout, The services were begun with the sing. ing of the forty-sixth Psalm—God is our refuge and our strength; im straitea present aid,” afier which the pastor offered up prayer. His sermon was an ex- position of a portion of the Epistie of Paul to the Ho- brews, 4, 6-0—“And again, when he bringoth in the ‘st begotten tnto the world, he saith, And ‘et all the angels of Gou worship him and of the angela Se saith, Who maketh his angels spirits and bis mintste! a fame of fire» But unto the Son ne satn, Thy throne, O God, 18 forever and ever: a sceptre of Fright. eousness Is the sceptre of thy kingdom. Thon bast loved righteousness and hated imiquity; therefore God, even thy God, bath anomted thee with the oil of gladness avove thy’ tellows Th commencing the epistie he said they bad seen that there bad been, aad in fet that thers sitll was, & ilfeence of opinion in regard to the writer of tt— | Some supposing thay it was Barnabas, others Luke the Evangelist—but the general beste! being that the writer Was Paul, the grout apostie of the Genuies, They bad also seen that Lhe object of it was to prevent the Jew- ‘eb Converts trom relapsing into Judaism. Referring, then, to his text, the preacher said that the first por- Mon of !t was intended to prove the superiority of Christ to angels. When God first introduced His Son to men He used language by whieh it-was intended to take that superioriy unmistakable, He was called ‘first begotten,” not merely in reference to His incar- pation, bat ‘by way of pre-eminence, and im reference to His supreme power, bonor id dignity, But while God intended to, show Christ's superiority to the angela Ho intended aiso to prove His divinity. Would he, for instanco, have asked the angels to worship a creature—to wor- #hip man ora fellow augel? that would be idolatry, and thus, if Christ were merely a creature, how highly endowed, God would have be: ol idolatry, In the second portion of the text, too, He intended to chow the auyelie iuferiorty to Christ. Those heavenly spirits were culied angels, which meapt messengers; ministers, which meant servants, But ou the other hand, to the son he said, “Thy throne, 0 God! is foreveraud ever.’ there ho gave to Him deity and equality with deity, and perpetuity as a King. Dynasties might dissolve, kiugs might be dethroned, but His reign would last tor ever. He gave also to Him & scepiro—the symbol of royalty, of aathority,ol em- pire—-and (that sceptre was one of righteousness. In conclusion, the preacher exhorted his hearers to draw from the text the iesson that it was right to worship Christ, to believe in His aivinity and to put tafth in the Justice of His kingdom, §8T. FRANCIS XAVIBR'S OHURCH, CEBEMONIES OF PALM SUNDAY—SINGING THE PASSION, The day on which the triumphant entry of the Re- deemer into Jerusalem is commemorated received due bonor at the Jesuits’ church in Sixteenth street yester- day, At half-past ten o’clock the biessing of the palms took place, The celebrant on the occasion was Futher Langeake, the deacon Father Merrick and the sub. deacon Mr, Plankt, Alter she sprinkling of holy water the choir, under the direction of Dr, William Berge, sang ap exuitant authom, “Hosanna,” especially written lor the occasion. Then followed the prayers, lessons and gospels recited by the clergymen on the altar, the celebrant petitioning heaven to bless the branches of the palm tree which were placed in a heap tside the eanctuary, He again eprinkled them with holy water and fumed them with incense, aud finally distributed them 1) the attendants on the altar and to The order of the procession which cceeded was as foltows:—Churier with sub-deacon with cross, between two woviytes with their candles burning, and, last, the celebrant, with the deacon at nis left, Ln the ves- tibule the procession paused, the sub-deacon knocked the door with the foot ol the cross, und all returned to the altar, reciting the verse, “As our Lord entered wwe Holy City, the Hevrew children declaring the res- Urrectiva of life with palm branches, cried out, ‘He. gunna in the highest!’ ”? THK PASSION ACCORDING TO ST. MATTHEW, When high mass progressed as tur a8 the Gospel the sublime history of the tragedy of Calvary was chanted, Three voices aro necessary for the impressive yet sim- ple music of the Passion, One represents the narrator or evangelist, the second sings the words of tbe Sa- viour aud the third gives utterance to the cries vf the rabble, the remarks of the disciples and the sentence Of Pilate. The character of the music typities to some extent the person represented. The purases of the uar- Tulor are, to acertain extent, of the miouotone kind, and there is'a pinintive tenderness tn the music allotted to the Redeemer, Tbe other speakers are represented ‘by @ sort of aygressive, declamatory chant, which con- trasts remarkably with the rest of the musia The celebrant, Father Langeake, sang the part of our Sa- viour, Father McAuley was the narravor and Mr, Ci Vell undertook the third part, ‘The singing of the sion occupied nearly an hour, and no sermon was, therefore, preached ut high mass The choir sang Mozart's first mass, the beautiiul “Agnus Dei’? of which being exquisitely sung by Migs Teresa Werneke, 1p tho afternoon selections trom Rossini’ tabat Mater” were given. Two rows of pews have been removed trom the floor of the church near the entrance, leaving a wide pas- sageway Sustead of the former narrow aisla [ron hand rails have also been attached to the stairways, ST. THOMAS' PROTESTANT EPISCO- PAL CHURCH. THE COVETOUS MAN—SERMON BY THE REV. FREDERICK COURTENAY, Rev. Frederick Courtenay preached at the above church yesterday afternoon, je church was so crowded that many leit betore the preaching vegan, The preacher took his toxt from Exodus, xx., 17, | wrnou shalt not covet thy noighbor’s house; thou shalt not coyet thy ne:ghbor’s wife; nor his man ser- vant, nor his maid servant, nor his ox, nor his uas, nor anything that is thy neigubor’s,” In the course of his sermon the reverend gentleman said that these sol- emn words should ring in our ears and find an echo in every man’s heart, No matter how great might be the nation, family or individual, these words must come as a premonitory warning to teach us all the need there is of taking a retrospective view along the highway of life, and showing to what a degree wo in this nineteenth century are dependent upon the old commandments, You may, he continued, exclaim with the young Pharisee, “Lord, what shail Ldo to be suved?”? vut until the commandments ring in your hearts you havo no idea of what is required by the new law, This commandment was intended to hedge about tho sanctuary of contentment, Man’s discontent and dissatistuction must be remembered. Tho young Phurisee, after being told what he should do, hung bis head and went away sorrowful, for ho wal wealthy. So, too, would it be with’ many of ou; selves. We must all go back to first prineples; like so must we gradually learn the secret of contentment. Look at man when, Where and tow you wili, some ex- pression of universal dissatisfaction 18 sure to be dise covered, Barter originates in discontent, and barter and business are the same. Yet persons vot engaged in business are dissatisiied. The chemist, the botanist, the puiitician, the political economist, the men of science, all are exumpies of dissatisiaction. Tbhowe who investigate the jaws of mind, matter and | religion are not content, Looking tnto matier it is tound that the right employment of tho dissutis- flod state of men’s minds operates to being about the acquirement of means. The action ot the dissatistied mind {8 to obtuin What was not possessed before, whether It be knowledge, power or wealthgthut a man’s discontent impels hin to acquire, the chase is ardent and absorbing.

Look at the man whose fields yield plenty, and see what he does, He wiil not throw his grain on the market; that would giut it and re- duce prices. No! He will baild new wealth in extended granaries and say to tis soul, “Eat, drink and be merry, U soul! for we huve plenty of the gvod things of earth.’ God says to that man, “Thou fool, this night shall thy soul be required of thee. PATRICK CATHEDRAL. No sermon was preached at St. Patrick’s Roman Catholic Cathedral at the half-past ten o'clock service yesterday, High mass was celebrated and the Passion read by Rev. Futher Farrelly, secretary to the Cardi. nal, Immediately preceding mars palms were blessed vy the celebrant, which were alterward distributed to th ngregation. It Was anpvounced that on Easter Sunday a solemn pontifical mass will be offered up try Carainal McCloskey, The election for trasvees of the Cathedral will take place on April 2 WAS THE RIGHT CHILD EXHUMED? It will be remembered that Coroner Flanagan jast weak held an inquest on the body of an oxbumed infant, supposed at one tine to have been foully dealt with a8 an illegitimate child, Messra, Butler & New- comb were annoyed by the matter, and Detecuve Boland, of No. 162 Broadway, figured prominently in the case as complainant, The Coroner's jury retarned a verdict of “Sullborn,”? without traces of malpractice, Despite all this therd is 4 point in the case which 18 well worthy tho attention of the Coroners.

BANGER. A lecture op ‘Circumstantial Evidence’? deliv- ercd Saturday eveuing before the Young Men’s Hebrew Association, at Lyric Hall, by Adolph L. Sanger, mem- ber of the association, The lecturer commenced by Stating that recent events conuceted with the trial of Oschwa.d and Ryan, in New Jersey, and the iterest manifested by the Heratvin their behalf, coupled with the suggestion that their conviction was wholly the result of circumstantial evidence, which subse- quent tacts rendered not unlikely, induced the prep- aration of this lecture, Alter an introduction which dwelt upou the romantic interest connected with court scenes and incidents, the lecturer proceeded to develop the theories upon which circumstantial evr dence 18 founded, RULES OV PROOF, Men in their ordinary vocations are seldom guided by strict rules of proof when judging of motives or actions, and are apt to be mistaken ta distinguishing between proot and evidence. Proof ts only the eflect of evidence, the highest kind of which is denominated positive, This ts founded on the evidence of eye wit nesses and confessions—the latter, wuile apparently the stronger, is the most unreliable All other evi+ dence 18 necessarily circumstantial, lt ts only whem an established combination of events 12 ascertained which absolutely pro- cludes every presumption of Innocence that wo cau ealely degin to form a positive concep- tion of guilt. Dr. Paley’s theory that “circumstances canaot lie,” was deemed unreliable, being tounded on the erroneous presumption that all men sell the truth, whereas the fact is they ali do not; and although cir cum-tances, when reliably proved, eannot lie, wit- nes can and do, Tustances were related showing the unsatisfactory character of jury verdicts, jurymen too often veing guided by tnfluences addressed to the senses. For e Ample, the production of a bloody kniie, a bludgeon ora burned piece of ray may sometimes, by exciting their passions or enlisting togir syinpathies, lead (heu to overivok the necessity of proving. in what manner these articles are connected with the criminal or the crime, THR CORPUS NECESSARY. Facts connected with the necessity of having the corpus dedicti Were nest dwelt upon aad illustrated by a number of interesting cases, ‘fhe lecturer reterred 10 a case in Rotlo’s Reports, which was an action tor slander, Wherein the theury was deduced that although certain Cook's head migit be spit open so that one side fell upon one shoulder and (we other side apon the other shoulder, yet because the bill of compiaint did not allege thut the man was dewd the plainud was bonsuited, the cook's death, notwithstanding the aplittiog of his head, being matter of interence only. ‘The Colvin case, which excited considerabie aitention {u its day, was lext reterrea to. ‘The lecturer based Little importance upon confes- sions, adducing their urreliability by pointed allusions to the days of the torture and Inquisition, with ibeir large train of superstition and haliucination, By this Means innocent victims were hurried to death by a forcing process, Which manutactured its own evidence, Fogardiess of the truih, The belief im witcheratt was one of the results which followed these metuods, and as a sad commentary upou the intelligence of the Bench tn those days, it was observed that two of the ablest jurists, Sir Matthew Hale ang Wilham Black- stone, were awong the most zealous believers in wucheraft. In the “State trials” could be found a caso scarcely more than one hundred years old, wherem two wiie eases were allowed to testify that they bad seen o ghost which had told them where @ certain murdered ody could be found aud (wat the parties accused were the murderer Upon that evideuce @ conviction Jol- lowed, Nightmare and somnambulism were fre- quently simulated to escape couvictio# of crime. The Interesting case of Soren Quist, where an innocent ina coniessed to the commission of murder under the eupposition that be had really committed the crime while in w stute of somnambulism, was mentioned. SUSPICION. The theory of suspicion was next discussed with ref erence Lo its relations to convictions upon circumstan- tial evidence. The lecturer’s views were illustrated by instance point mentionca in Shakespeare and the Jewish Talmud. A number of circumstances that might seem corroborative of guilt might combine, but, woich, standing alone, would deserve little consideration, A case Was euggested of a person found shot by a ball, the wadding of the pistol in the wound corresponding With another part found in the pocket of the prisoner; anotber of @ man with bis Lead split aod a splinter which exactly fitted the cavity of a bludgeon, from which a piece had been Intely broken, carried vy the connection. | In further elucidating the subject the lecturer re- marked that the position of a dead bouy, the sudden- ness of death, the discovery of u deadly poison, thy distance at which the knife or pistol was found, the position of the tustrument or wound, whether at the right or left side of deceased, the marks o1- blood on the person or clothing or turuiture, are facts which are essential tu developing the real nature of a case. THE DEATH PENALTY, Jn conclusion the lecturer said that in no case should the death penalty vo tuilicted where the evi- dence rested altogether upon circumstantial evidence. ‘Then tf an error was vcourred it taay be rectified, and no such horror be left to prey upon our conscience as that we may have lent our aid to consign an iwnocent man to a felon’s grave. 4A NEW STEAMSHIP; The steamship Daniel Steinmann, from Antwerp, a new acquisition of the White Cross line, made her ap- pearance for the first timé in wis port yesterday, Sho was guyly decorated with bunting as soon as she reached her dock, adjoining the Pavonia ferry.
