~ NOVEMBER FASHIONS, The Latest Styles in Loves of Bonnets and Dresses. “RAG OARPET” THE RAGE. What Brides and Bridesmaids May Wear and Be In Fashion. THE FLORAL FAN. Take the fall fashions, for all in ail, they were never more Deautiful than in this gear of grace 1877, and ever were the opportunities better tor those who ave the wit and wisdom to avail themselves of them for dressing in good style at small expense, There was a time when ladies did not consider them- selves dressed for the street unless the costumo was all silk and lace, 11 might be tin and flimsey and in- affective, but it must be silk. Now woollen is not only considered better wear for the strect, but itis known to be more artistic, carrying the light and hold- sng the shade and blending itself much more bapptly to the laying of folds and the fall of drapory than thin taffeta or stiff gros grain. ‘Tue revolution of ideas was, however, accomplished very gradually at first; fine cashmere, which we wero ge slow to appreciate,must be combined with silk or the silk with velvet, It seemed impossible that a mere aress of wool could by any mere freak of fashion be considered in the light of “dress” at all, and oven Bow there are women who will spoil a charming dress ef soft wool by adding to it a trimming of cheap silk, ‘whieh woars off in a very short space of time, leaving the edges ragged and tho whole toliet shabby before the body part of it is at all worn. There is a wide difference between the dress of the @troet and the indoor, and especially evening cos- fume, the long coat sloove, the high close bodice, usually double-breasted or crossed over the side, is in- dispensabie for street or day wear, a6 cssential as the @ark color in the fabricof which the dreas !s com- pesea. But for the evening there is abundant latitude. Tho half sieeve, with delicate ruffles: the open bodice, yeco trimmed; the light gauze fabrics, damask er Mriped, with variegated cheniiles, and used as drapery over lovely shimmering silks and satins, form an en- tembdteas difierent as possible from the dark and ser- vicoablo character of the promenade attire. COLORS AND COMBINATIONS. For street wear the leading color is a dark shade of green, which shows a tinge of yollow when beld to the Highs. It is sometimes called ‘‘moss” green, and in the new tufted and knotted fabrics 1s combined with Mines and dots of raw siik, snot in dashes of yellow, vardtoal red, blue, white or lightor green. Seal brown and pavz biue hold their own, but both have beon so long and well worn that a change is very wolcoomo; and this beautiful dark green is universally becoming and contrasts admirably with the rich shades of crimson or the more delicate ivory and tilleul 1t ts already scarce in the market, and belore the end of this month, merchants say, there will not be, i probability, a yard‘of moss green to be ob tained ifthe largest stores. The *‘snow lake” cloths are as fashionable as ever, and are very pretty made over silk or velyot. Those goods in brown are very efiective, as the delicate flakes show to fine advantage on the darker shades of this color, A polonaise of this material over a skirt of silk or velvet, with mountings of the soiid material and hat to matcb—tho white effect in the trimming being ebtained by an intermixture of white and brown feather tips—no prettier style for an inexpensive win- ter costume can be imagined. A great desideratum seems to be to produce vivid eflects with alight background tor the evening, and dark or black ones in the full glare of day. This is in accordance with the true principles of art, and, united ‘with the present beauty of orm in design, can hardly fail to realize the especially beautiful and becoming costume. STREET TOILETS. Each succceding fashion 1s apt to appear the best, bat the elegance of the present street costumes ts un- questionabie. The pure and beautiful tone of color which both American and foreign manufacturers have succeeded in making 18 more soft, brilliant, yet sab- ved, than any that have been seen heretolore, Achestaut brown gros grain promenade costume has ® dem+train skirt, very simply made, There was an ornament of silk on one side, taking the place of a pocket, made of standing plaits of silk which were re- ‘versed and held ia place across the middie with a band of silk piped with ivory silk and threo large pearl but- fons carved in bars, The piaits were lined with the ivory silk. The half-long, closely fitting street basque was comfortably lined and made rather longer at the back than at the sides; the plastron front had contiou- ous parallel rows of buttons, three in a row, to the edge. The sieeves were rather loose, with flaring cuffs, An Clegant visiting dress of myrtle green plain silk end a yellowish green damasse, ts mave princess front with acoat tail basque back, trimmed with revers of 8 plain silk, dotted with gold battons, The back of the basque was piain arlk,and the side forms of the @ther. A wide facing of plain silk on the outer edgo of the train was also dotted in rows of buttons. The edge of the skirt and train were trimmed with two rows ot knife plaitings cut in sharp points, The skirt was very clinging with four plaits, an overskirt being merely simulated at the sido, Thero was one large, square pocket. ‘The revival of satin trimming shows to advan- tage in conjunction with delicate ivory and cream faille, and nothing can be !magiued more lovely than toilets of these fabrics compesed im the manner de- scribed and garnitured with dark velvot foliage, Vor & combination of light blac with satin large white roses Without foliage would be used, or white camelias. ‘Thero are two mothods of employing the rich armure and damask silks—one is to combine them with falilo or plain Lyons veivet, the other to use them for the body part of the princess dress and combine faille and satin in the trimming. * OUTDOOR GARMENTS, The paletot form is the favorite this season and poems to have superseded the dolman, though such is Bot altogether the case. The dolman is really suscept- sbie of far more elegant effects than the paletot and ‘will therefore always have ite admirors and patrons, ‘The palotot forms are the favoritos for the new, hand- some armuro and matelasse cloths and are exactly Bulted to these materials, Tho trimmings are usually wide silk braids or bands of heavy silk oroamented with rows of stitching. The present styles require moro than ever before that every dotail ia the entire costume should be In harmony. If one departs trom the rue at all it must be in regard to little matters, as it should always bo fonsidered in the selection of an onter garment, Thus only poor taste and jndgment would be ovinced by the choice of a material in a shade that will not rmonise with the dresses to be worn with it, or In trimming 4 garment to be used “in common” with Fich aco or other garnituro suitable only for an cle. gant material or carriago dress, This suggestion ts tor hose who con afford but one independent wrap, and go will find 1% necessary to associate it with many drosses and all occasions, for those who can indulge mere thaa one the bint is not required, New “‘OanreT” CLOTH. Circular wraps aro fashionably mado tn plaids and ebecks, but the now “rag carpot” cloth, which (stn. troduced for these garments, will become popular as sold weather advances. Some of those are lined with slik and others with dark opora flannel. Tbe trim. ming is a fringe of wool, or silk and wool, matching the cloth, Waen made of the plaid cloth black velvet might be used ag a triinming. LONG CLOARS. 1 wv winter cloak will Oe made jong, though they bave moderated somewhat the extreme depth of iast wintor; yet forty to filty inches svili affords a good average range, not excepting the fur lined circular wraps, which areas long and perhaps a trifle longer than any other designs worn. A large number of the new cloaks are in the long paletot forms, aud are made of beavy silk, plain or armare, and fancy styles of diagonal, mateiasse or tufted cloth. But ‘ew cloaks are made of solid Lyons veivet, yet veivet js used @ trimming, and aiso in conjunction with silk. NEW YORK vived, and rich passementeries are eneircied with drop trimming.in the form of acorns or tassels. Tne beads sre not only made in gimp, but are wrought tp with Diack and colored embroideries upon silk, cloth and cashmore, the shades in bronze, amber, dark blue and the like harmonizing perfectly wish the fashionable shades in material Among the newly imported street wraps is one of great beauty im half Otting sacque shape, quite lo and made of light gray, soft, thick camel’s hair, trimmed with black velvet; and the collar and cuffs are embroidered by hand with silk of the color of the fabric. Another style of the same shape and material je opened at the sides tn two places each side, and Jaced across with a gray and black cord and tassel ‘The wide pointed collar is made of black velvet, and the two flaring cuffé of the two materials Tho but tons of smoked pearl are very largé. Some ant Gacques are imported, lined with squirrel skin. “GARDE FRANCAISE” COAT. This distingue garment is tight Atting, with a “Louis XV.” vest, the fronts very much cut away, like the coats worn by the “Garde Frangaise’”’ inthe time of Lous XIV. 101s adapted to all classes of cloaking ma- terials and suit goods, and the vest, collars, pockets reveres and cnfls most appropriately made of & aifferent material from the rest of the garment. BRIDAL OUTHITS. Suggestions for bridal outfits are always in demand at this season, No arbitrary rules are in force regard- ing the styles of these soilets, with the exception that they must be en fourreau—closo fitting—to a certain extent; and in the matter of flowers there isa wide heense allowed, orange flowers being sometimes en- tirely dispensed witn, and climatis, Jessamine, Iily of the valley and roses substituted. A very beautiful weading dress, recently imported, is of solt, rich white silk, tbe skirt piaited into « fan train, the edge cut in sharp points, bound with satin and resting upon a full gauge plaiting. Tue ‘Elfride” Polonaise, in princess design, bas broad revors at the back, which meet over a plaitivg and aro joined by mlarge bow. The edge of the polonaise corresponds with that of the skirt, The waist is closed by tiny buttons, and a long spray of orange blossoms droops from a bouquet placed near the promt, half hidden in lace, The sleeves are demi-long, the edges pointed to correspond with the skirts. Twodeep ii of crepe lisse fall below the sleeves, The veil is of magnificent Brussels lace, falling from @ wreath of orange blossoms, One of Alle’s importations is of the new tint of white, especially adapted tor a brunette. It is of that creamy softness seen in Province roses—a warm glow, asf the sun bad shone upon i, Those to whom dead white proves unbecoming should try the tinted white, ot which there is yet another shade, like the glow in the hoart of a tea rose, The Princess style \s the favorite for bridal dresses, the close outlines allowing the veil to fullso much moro gracefully than any elaborate drapery will permit. DRESS MATERIALS, Silk, satin, brocade and damasse are all used fer the purpose, and always in combination, with the single exception of satin, which more frequently forms tue entire dross, with trimmings of iace and tulle, The creamy white may be said to be the most ‘ashionabie, Dut the selcction should be governed by what shade will be the most becoming. The trimmings are usually of tulle, crepe lisse, rich fancy {fringes und tulle om- broideries, whichever will be best suited to the fabric used, rich laces being almost imvariably reserved for use with savin, although this material 18 not inire- quently trimmed simply with tale or crepe lisse plaitings. Fine india cashmere, in combination with silk, forms lovely bridal dresses, and India muslin, trimmed with Valenciennes or Mechlin lace, is selected for very young brides, BRIDESMAIDS’ DRESSES. It 1s far more diflicult to determine upon the brides- maid’s dress than the dress for tbe brido, The new styles are marvellously beautiful, A very pretty con- cert is to trim them with the flowers beuring the name bride, when it is possible. For example, the + a recent fashionable wedding wore cos- t 1 white silk and cashmere, made en princesse, with fichus and large tabliers of muslin and lace, trimmed with clasters of violets in compliment to the bride’s Christian name. Wreaths of the pretty little jacircled the brows of tne fi tiendants, and jewelry Was worn im each ear and akout the Some lovely, youthful toilets for pridesmaias are made of fine white muslin, with long princess polo- nase, each trimimed with Douquots of roses of a dis tinctive color, With these, mob caps aud jong veils, with roses en suile, were worn, These charming mob caps bave beon lately introdaced from Engiaud, and are exceedingly pi and coquettish, and gi admirable framing to a tresh young face. Ata recent English wedding tho bridesmaids wore dresses of seif-celored muslin, of a different color in the case of each iady, with chip hats, covered with Marguerites and biossoms to match each dress.

A EVENING TOILET, This marvel of beauty consists of a white brocaded train, witha low-necked biue velvet Princess o' dress. There are no sieeves to this dress, aod it is pro- fusely trimmed with white flow Another charming dross for evening wear is of pale pes \-gray silk, wrimmed with flounces of the Ou ndia masliu, embroidered with coral-pink hoi suckle branches, trailing in cureless grace, and these are edged with clovis lace, A drapery of india mus- lin, correspondingly trimmed, ts luid in plaits, cro: ing the front ana down tbe left side tothe back, where it is fastened low upon tbe skirt, with clusters of honeysuckl Yhe skirt is laid in fan-like form.

STANLEY ON ‘ LIVINGSTONE. 4 FBIENDLY LETTER TO A BROTHER JOURNALIST. [From the Boston Journal) The following letver trom Mr. Stante; explorer, whose recent achievoments nave awakened such a widespread interest in the map, will be read with interest. It isa friendly letter to Mr. Edward King, and, though not intended for publication, gives an 1dea of the indomitable pluck of the writer and ex- plains one of tbe leading causes of bis success as an explorer :— Nravcw! Macrzwa, Central Africa, Oct, 81, 1876 My Dean Frisxp Kinc—Just recall to mind tho timo when | relaved in your ears what Livingstone spoke of Nyangwo, Just think, if you can, of what IT gave you as my opinion of that old, brave explerer, and glance at the uamo of the town or depot at which 1 write from.

Pity, not unmixed with admiration, is the prominent feeling in my mind. Poor Livingstone! 1 wish I had the power of some perfect master of the English langaage to describe what do jee! about hjm. 1 wish I could say verbatim what the Arabs say of him, and tell you of the anxious looks the amiable natives of this regien cast toward the road leading from the Indian O looking wist- fully for news of him, Bat be will ‘or return to be greeted by his dark children of Mauyowa. Do yon know, King, that l have a faint idea people in England aud America did not quite audorstand the man? Ot courso, they bave not sald in that the man wi ,”?

It ts a curious thing how the climate of Africa so tries tho temper of a man thathe does not care very tnuch what will become of him. He \s so worried and tortured aud annoyed that be begins to feel vy and by, after some months of it, that the best thing Jor him would be eternal, dreamiess rest. 1 dare say, if | could fly over wo New York aad enjoy one good moal, that I would instantly abandon such melancholy ideas, but as 1 must “vore through,” like an auger, before can enjoy that sausfactory meal, and ast must “bore through” tor many months to come, I fod myself dwelling on such melancholy things oftener (van 1s consistent with courage or manliness, Let us drop the subject, The event or result wil decide all, The unknown hall of Africa lies vefore ma, ivolved fa mystery, It is useless to imagine what it may contain, what | may see, what wouders may be uniolded, l'am cagor tor it. 1 feel myself straining like ip a leash. I bave solemnly told iny people that “Goa has written that this year the groat Lualaba and the unknown half of Attica shall be roveaied ” I am @ prophet—at least Iam imbued with a vast amount of euthusiagm just now—but 1 cannot tell whether I shall be able to reveal it 1m person or whether it will be left to my dark followers, In three or four days we shall begin the great strug- gle with this mystery, but Grst [ thought 1 would be Arolief 1o me if I could sit down and begin telling you a few of my thoughts and shake bands, mentally, Across the reat gull which separates the friend of my soulirom me, God bless us ail.

The world is bigger than you thiak it isand you aro smaller than you think you are, Those are two awiul facis, One of the Blae laws of Connecticut runs thus:— “No one shall read common pra; keep Christmas or saints’ days, make mince pies, dance, play cards, or play any instrament of music except the drum, trumpot and jowsharp.”” Hero is one, however, which is more which it might be well to enforce nowaday: ever publishes lie to the prejudice of his shall ait in the stocks or be whipped Mftoen stripes.’ Weare always suspicious of a man whois 60 terribly religious that he wants to be transported to glory at once, Fow mon are so very good that they are nov willing to stay on earth a little longer and we are half inolined to think that the litle boy was quite right when, aecing a tombstone with the inscription, “I would not live alway,” wrote under it with a picce of chalk, “Sour grapes!” There are two little words which contain about all the advice you need. They are ‘‘give”’ and “forgive.” The first teaches you to have charity toward poysical ‘want, and the second warns you to touch lightly your Beighbor’s moral weakness, ‘here are people who live bebind the bill” is an old German proverb, which means $ there are other folk in the world besides yourself, although you may Dot see them. Charity and also & sound judgment remind us thet {f the same temptations which have tripped our neighbors should asgail us we also might fall. Itis a greedy appetite which picks the bone of a new scan- dal for another morsel, 1s is not necessary $0 exten- Wate a fault because you are pitiful toward the mas who commits it, It is better to be blind than to have eyes that continually bunting for some one’s weakness, and better to be dumb tham to be con- Stantly expatiating on the moral disaster which nas just befallen a former friend, Some one wisely says, if you can’t say anything good of the man who 18 the subject of your gossip, don’t say anything. It was trueof the late Rev. Starr King that he never spoke even of a competitor with- out saying something Kind. The consequence was that every one found himself saying sometbing kind about him, and when he died, even those wno opposed him all their lives joined in the procession and put an immortelle on his grave. The poot put the law into rhyme when be sang, “Love and love only is the loan tor love.’? Mr. Spurgeon justly criticises the Americans on one point He says there is hardly a corner of the globe to which be has pot been invited The people of Aus- tralia told him that if he would visit them they woula raise money enough to put his college and orphanage on asure foundation, When Americans invited him, on the other hand, it was for their own emolument, They have tovariably asked him what he would tako to deliver so many sermons or lectures, ‘1 don’t care to go anywhere in order to show mysolf as a curios- ity,’ be adds, “and I should be ashamed to come bome with so much money in my pocket as tne enly result of my visit”? There is both sound theology and powerful exherta- tion in these lines sung at @ negro camp meet! Come, bredern, git in de go.den car, Dar’s room for you and me up dar, Come, sit down in de anxious seat, Kase sin am sour and ’ligion’s sweet, Sometimes one has only to state bis case in order to carry conviction to every heart, as when the old lady on the witness stand, teased and fretted beyond meas- ure by a flery cross examination, burst forth with this eloquent statement:—‘‘How do you suppose, sir, that lam to Know anything about anything that I don’s know anything about?’? We have heard of questions of casuistry just as subtle, ‘ ‘There is a good deal of sarcasny as well as sadness jo the letter which a minister wrote to the Home Board, after the hint that it he should happen to find anosber field of labor, bis congregation would give him a good send off in the way of a set of resolutions, He says:— “1 have beon guilty of one thing for which the church will not forgive me; I have grown old.” We don’t treat our superannuated clergymen as well as we do an old horse, If the horse has served us many years wo eithor mercifully knock him in the head to save him the pain of knowing that he has outlived his usoful- ness, or olso we take off nis shocs, turn him out to pasture, and let him die in clover. But gray-haired ministers become book agents, a work which is closcly allied to suicide, and renders the temptation to get out of life almost irresistible. The great shame of the Church ts its neglect of some ef its most faithful ser- vants, it ts. a well Known fact that clerical jokes are apt to be more peppery than the lay article cven. “Preach for me to-night, will you ?’? said one pulpit erator to an- other, “I can’t possibly do it,”’ was the reply, **for Iam almost sick with the headache.” Tnea came the shot—"Ob, well, come along just the same; you won’t have to use your head, you know.” A good temperance joke isa refreshment, even when it tells againgt ourselves, We certainly eught to match this with something of a lay character if we can. Mr. Evarts presented hia little child with a donkey, and afvor a while received a letter of thanks and an ex- ceedingly thoughtful and suggestive query :—*Dear father, the donkey is very lonely and wants company. When are you coming home, father ?” if you tind any undoe excitement in your church and you fear that the religious enthusiasm of the people is beginning to carry them away, just suspend the service tor a few moments and pass the contribu. tion box around and you will bring them back to thoir senses at once, A man may easily havo enough re- ligion to make him shout Amen, as though: he were all ready to go to elory, but if you ask rim for a dollar you will find oat at once how deep his convictions are, ‘We have often wondered why it 1s that the commu- nity seems every once in awhile to drop below its or- dinary level of morality, There ts a certain perio- icity in crime, It runs riot for awhile and then there comes a lull, after which the tide rolis in again with the force of asevonth wave, Mr. Huxley has, how- ever, solved the problem to our entire satisfaction, He says that “impaired secretions deprave the moral sense.’ We have sometimes thought that the way tp which officials have manage to “secrete” the publio money did not indicate that their ‘‘organs of secre- tion’? were in any way “impaire: buat we bow to the ctum of science, We venture, nevertheless, to ob- rve that the secretory processes of a large class of the community must bo im a ful condition, and hope that some specific will be discovered to pat the paratus of the world in better working ministers of the West have evidently been em- ploy in the circumiocution office, Whea one of their number was brought before the ceuncil for lying they found him guilty of ‘‘not always baodling tho English language with sufficient carefalness to meet the demands of ity.” Ifit takes these ministers so long to spell the word “lie” wo should be very them preach. monly termed laws, as to produc harmony between yourselves and Inselligonce which is jovern all you will undoubtedly finally du that North never blows, where even thinnest sammer ets will bea burden and wi the th r tube of the thermometer reaches an ap- pall titude ” One of Mr, Moody’s ances, as, for instance, when he says, “M. ii you le and cheat you will go to heil,”? has moi tings 0, find youreelve jace whore the tresh and cooling air of the it to convert the world than all the ‘*ffthlies’? jenthies” which were ever constructed out of the un- abridged dieuonary. ‘Thero is a large number ot people in the world who, to un uahappy extent, resombie potatoca—that ts, they havo eyes, but they cannot seo with them, A MONSTER METHODIST REUNION. BROOKLYN METHODISTS TO HAVE 4 GRAND DIN- NEB AND HANDSHAKE IN NOVEMBER—RELIEF FOR FINANCIALLY EMBARRASSED CHURCHES. The financial condition of several Methodist churches in Brooklyn and vicinity, notably William ssreet, York streot and Flatbash, has perplexed the minds and hearts and pockets of liberal Methodists for several yoars Last spring Bisbop Peck called a convocation of pastors and charco officiala, who met in the chapol of Summertield Church, to consider which of the churches were ip @ critical condition and why they wore 60; whether they ought to be abandoned ofr united im one pastoral charge, and bow to Vitalize the connecttonal principle #0 that the strongor should holp the weaker churches, Thero are two presiding elders’ districts embraced in the city of Brooklyn aud vicinity. At that convooa- tion It was found that on the Long Isiand North dis- trict there were no churches in aoritical condition, though thero were some that could not live without outside aid, Inthe South district tho three churches bamed wore thon most embarrassed, and thelr ombar- Fassmont has increased, Flatbush Chureb property, for instance, is mortgaged to the extent of one- half ite estimated vaiue, $10,000, The member- ship is small and comparatively poor. They have not been able to pay intorest on this mortgage for nearly « year, and threats of foreclosure suits nave been made unless the $700 is soon forthcoming. William Street Church is located in South Brooklyn, near Gowanus Canal, and ita congrogation ‘# largely composed of canal and river voatinen, It has a mort guge and floating debt on its property of $10,000 aiso, ‘The proporty is valued at $23,000; but if sold to-day it would not probably bring flity per cent of its value. The society, like Fiatbush, is small aad poor. It cun take care of 18 current expenses, but cannot meet this additional $700 ior interest. It Is one of only two Protestant churches in that section of Brooklyn, which contains a population of 15,000 souls.

On Thursday tf sven a we are. at al dred brethren attended, an: @ council presented scheme fora ry Methodist “reception” to take o Rink or in the Academy of Music towa: otatter November, when tho bishops and the Missionary Committee are here at their angual meeting. The ladies of the different churches will provide a dinner, ana music, speeches and handshaking sucd as hat never been seen or known in Brooklyn before will make up the alter dinner programme, The tickets of admission to this reception will cost $5 each (admit- ting two), and the Council, through an executive com- mittee of one from each charch in the city, expect to 11 2,500 tickets and to clear thereby about $10,000, amount to be divided between Flatbush aad William Street churches, so that the debt of each will be reduced thereby one-half. The brethrem of those churches can then pull along for some years with the maiuder, This scheme was heartily indorsed by tl ting and with only one vote against 1, This Kx ecutive Committee have had two meetings since and appointed several sub-committees on arrangemen| invitations, press, police, &c,, and the Academy o' Music and its adjunct assembly rooms, being the largest and most convenient public halis that could be secured in Brooklyn, have been hired for the evening ol Friday, November 23, when an entertainment such a8 the Methodists of Brookiyn have never known will be given. At the last meeting of the committoe, on Friday night, very great entbugiasm was manifested, Committees of ladies are being formed in the several churches, and the reunion promises to be « great and successful event, MISSIONARIES FOR INDIA AND BURMAH. Revs, William B, Osborn, of Georgia Conference, and James A. Northrup, of the Rock River Conalerence, have been transferred by Bishop Harris to the South India Contorence of the Methodist Episcopal Church, The Conterence is to meet in Calcutta, Novomber 15, Mr. Osborn egailod last week and Mr. Northrup and wite will sail about Octobor 25, Both these ministers go out under the auspices of that veteran missionary evang Rev. William Taylor, who pays tho entire expenses incident to their transfer to the mission work in India, while he himself goes to Peru, South America, to open a campaign there, The week previous fifteen mussion- aries left this port under the auspices of the Baptist Mi nary Union for labor in Burmah, Their honored names and their destinations aro as follows:— J.

Dr. Ashmore is one of the veteran Baptist mission- aries, having sailed for China in 1850, He has beea one of the ablest and moss useful laborers who bave ever gone from Amorica to the foroign field. It1 truism to say that one man like Ashmore, Binney, Stevens, Bronson, master o! the language, accustomed to the climate, established im the confidence of the natives, worth balf a dozen young brethren whose ftuess is unproved, who must spend years be- fore they can utter au intelligible sentence, and who may not improbably die before they reach the period of efficient service.

Dr. Gottheil delivered a sermon ip the Jewish Temple Emanv-El, Fitth avenue, yesterday, im the presence of a jarge congregation, Bosides the regular sermon an eloquent appeal was made in behalf of a brother congregation in Israel (Ahavath Chesed, Dr. Huebsch’s), The services throughout wore very interesting. ‘THE SEBMON. From the lips of Moses, said the Doctor, we heard (Deuteronomy vi, 7):—‘For the Lord thy God has biessed thee in all the works of thy hand. He watched ovor thy walking through this great wilderness, These forty years the Lord thy God has been witn thee; thou hast lacked nothing.” And from the mouth of Isaiah wo heard these words (lsaiah xli., 6):—“They helped every one his neighbor, and cvory one said to his brother, ‘Bo strong.’’” These words, although uttered by different men, under different circametances and for difiorent purposes, remarked the Doctor, may be linked together as motive to action, cause to effect. Its the special function of religion to establish and Pportect such relation betweon prosperity and duty, ‘With whomsoever the first is a fact, the second ought to become a command; bet than that, an expres ‘sion of his own be THE TEMPLE AMAVATH-CHESED. Among our city congregations, said Dr. Gottheih, the one known by the name of Atavath-Chesed, worshiagte. in the temple on Lexington ner of Fifty-fifth strect, takos deserved); lts membership is very conswerabie, 1d to progi and ready to bear the burdens which intenance of a large place of worship imposes, behind none im anything that becomes an im- portant congregation. It has reared one of the most imposing and best adapted temples at a groat cost, and in a manper which insu votion without compro- mising any one of the essential principles of Judaism, From its pulpit a earned and eloquent and enlight- pounds the truths of our faith with great }, and shows to his numerous listeners rightoous and God-fearing life Ail to whom the oxislonce and di daism aro of aby importance will bei that the depression in ali branches of commerce and industry, Which has jasted now for more than four yoars, becn @ cause of very serious trouble to ‘Abavath-Chesed, and threatens to impede still more its usofulness.

To that end an effort will be shortly made to ralee funds by what may be called our regular winter son- sation—a grand fair, That the hope of the promoters is principally based upen the co-operation of the ladies they kuew beforehand ‘For when," asked the Doctor, ave men been in straits without looking to the ladies for alt in the first instance ?”? Dr. Gottheil siated that the present ts probably the first instance of Judaism in this city of a combined effort for the bevellt of one congregation. If success tui, a8 ne heartily wished it might prove, larger re- sults will follow, A more triendly relation between te various bodies will be established; the hands that had once been clasped will find one anether agais, when anited action will be required for the accom. plighmont of the great work that Judaism needs in this country, He would, therefore, an; ‘Let your brethren feel that if Temple Emaduel mw strong it is an advantage not only to those who belong toll, out to Judaism at large, 80d that we covet the privilege of mrong—that of rendering succor to the weak,’
