Mr. De Witt, of Sturgis, Mich, at a recent temperance meeting held that it was perfectly right to drink liquor it a person wished to do so, The Presbyterian church of which he was pastor th upon notified him that his services would be needed no longer than the end of his year, which expires ina few weeks. Mr. De Witt was thereupon presented with an easy chair by the liquor sellers of Swurgis—a suggestive present. A convention of representatives of city synagogues was proposed several weeks ago to consider, among other items, the subject of irce synagogues for tbe poor. Convention or not, thoughtful minds should not forget the necessities of the times and that more than ever synagogues for the poor are needed. The Jewish holiday season is approaching and the subject of free synagogues for the poor is pressing for atten- tion, As the synagogues are at present constituted free seats are extremely limited, in some entirely wanting, and ag the poor are increasing provision must be made for their accommodation, A simple means, suggested by the Messenger, woala be the in- stituting of services for the holidays in the basements of the large places of worship, to which, under proper restrictions, the poor could be admitted, Under this arrangement the expense would be trifling, readers could easily be secured, and the rabbis wonld ub- doubtedly consent to address their humble but devout congregations before or after their regular sermons. Dr. Rigg, of London, writes to tue New York Christian Advocate tbat the success of Moody and Sankey in Great Britain and the spread and growth of Spiritualism are reactions agaiust tho ectentific materialism which bas set in throughout the land, ‘And what is peculiarly noticeable about Spiritualism, he says, 1s that it carpies the war into the enemy’s country. Men of science are becoming Spiritualists ; spiritual power, or psychic force, 18 coming more and more to be recognized, even among scientillc mon, as areal, widespread, ubiquitous energy, or agency, which can no longer be ignored, If you have got Christianity put it into your life, and dou’t think to make Christian reputation answer in place of Christian character, ‘sal,’ cried a girl looking out of the upper window of a small grocery, and addressing another girl who was trying to enter at the front door, ‘we've all been to camp meetin’? and got converted; so when you want milk on Sup- day you'll have to come around to the back door.”” We fear there are too many ‘back door’ Christians, The eminent Bishop Horne it was who said that be who seldom thinks of heaven 1s not likely to get there. ‘he way to hit the mark is to keep the eye fixed upon it, And yet we should not be over-unxious ubout vesting to heaven. Vor, as avother diviue bas sald, anxiety is the poison of lite—the parent of many sing and of more miseries. Why then allow it future is guided by a Father’s band? Mind not much who isarith thee, or who against thee, but take care that Ged may be with thee in everything thou doest, Variety is the spyce of life, An Irishman 1s reported to bave said that be hud nothing to live on but pota- oes, and for the sake of variety he ate the large and small ones together. That son of the sod understood the “philosophy of common tbings.”” Tne Mileage Committee of the iate Presbyterian General Assembly, whose annual report bas been printed, is rather rough on the Assembly, They say tbat the fuct of their being prevented from sharing in the servicees of the body, “has been a means of grace to them?’? Thatis about equal to the school- boy’s composition on the uses of pins:—¢Pins buve saved a great many lives by people not swallowing them.’? Sothe mileage men would assure us that they enjoyed themselves better outside of the As- sembly chamber than withiv, American Episcopalians are somewhat divided tin opinion concerning the value of the late Lambeth Conference, in which so many of their bishops took part, It was purely @ private assembly, aud yet it undertook 10 issue an address to dioceses and penple who were not represented vor interested in ther private-chate, The only important act which the Con- ference attempted, but faried to accomplish, was to select a “patriarcn’? of little pope Jor the “Anglican Communion” of the Archbishop of Canterbury, American Protestantism, aod specially Ameri- Ep'scopacy, is better without any such aristocratic adjuncts, What the people want is not imitations of the “Roman Communion”—they are satisfied with what they have of the genutne—but more true democracy in Church and State aud greater simplicity of administration in both. When the Israelites asked a king that they might besike the nations around them the Lord told Samuel that they had not rejected the prophet, but the Lord God Himself. It isabad sign of allegiance to God when churches or bodies of Christians must look about for a visible ‘*head”? when the Lord Jesus Christ claims to be aud was accepted by the early Christians as the head of all things to the Church, Besides, there 1s no such ‘communion’ existant as the Anglican, and consequently no need for a pope or 4 tor it, Bat this little pleco of prelacy was coun- terbalanced by some other acts and resolves which indicate sounder sense and cooler judgment. ‘The latest sentimental agouy In song is a tender bal- lad, beginning :-— ‘Who will come above me, sighing, Whon the grass grows over me?

To-day appears to bedbo great reopeniug day 10 all our city churches, and Dad they not stated this fact | it would hardly bave been supposed that so many of them were closed during thé.summer., Bat the tm- provement in this regard is becoming more and more marked every year, A fow years #go it was a rare thing to find @ minister in town or a church opeo during the months of July and August, Now, if the pastors go away they provide supplies for their pul- pits, and uoless the churca buildings need repairs or improvements they are kept open. The Soutn Keformea Charch, St. Thomas’ Episcopal, the New York Presbyterian, Bleecker Strect Uaiversalist, Church of the Ascension, Eighteenin Street Methodist, Harlem Congregational ana Hoi Maison Avenue Bap- Trmity Char tist and Kutge tist and Canal Street Presbyterian and some ochets that have been closed will reopen their services Lo- day. Madison Square Presbyterian Chureb, Chie! ing Hall and a few other places of worship will bo ret pened next Sabbath, and by the lst of October all of our city pastors will bo iu their pulpits and bave their ‘work weil in hand, as if there bad veoh no interrup- thon. A ry pre rous season spir yu pected thas fall aud wine MELROSE BAPTISTS Ai’ WAR. THE: CHURCH DIVIDED — ORIGIN or Tar ROU BLE— MEMBERS EXCLUDKD—OPFOSITION MANGHDVRES. A pious old Hebrew some centuries ago remarked how good and pl at it was for brethren to dwall together in umity, But it be had lived in these da he would empbasize the fact mach more than be did then, [tis strange that a ite band of church mem- bors dweiing together in the village of Meirose, New York, cannot live in peace, They bave litue chareb butlding on Courtland avonue and 158th it and Were in & mensurably prosperous condition until afow mouths ago, Theit membership numbered alittle over a hundred and their congregations averaged two or three times that number, Toe Sunday school was also one of the best in that neighvorhoed. But lately the spirit of dissension bas crept 1m among them, and now everything i changea. Poverty came in at the door aud Jove flow out at the window, Money, the love of which was declared by one of old to be tne root of ail evil, 18 at the vottom of this trouble. About three and a hall years ago, or, to be exaci, three y o last April, the Rev. Mr. Gibbs aceepted the call and became pastor of the little society, It has grown under bis ministrations, His salary at first wus to be $1,200 « year, of Which sum the Missionary Uaton connected with tho Southern New York Baptist As- sociation contributed $200, The society at Melrose, however, found they could not ri the other $1,000, and acompromise was made thatthe aid be a placo in our hearts when we know that all the” $1,000 altogether, This was acceptable so long as the Missionary Union paid its quota; but at tne beginning of the current ecclesiastical year the $200 missionary money was stopped. The question then arose whether the church was or was not in bouor bound to cou- tinue the pastor’s salary at $1,000 just the same, ‘he superintendent of the Sabbath Sehool, who was alse a trustee and a deacon, held the ground that the church ‘Was liable only for the ‘ne friends ais- uted this positinn, and the ndsbip that ad previously existed among ti rd. The Superintendest, who ‘said to Weulthiest member in the church, took his letter aad withurew, when be saw that be could not work wiihout friction 1h the svciety. He uutted with a chureh in Harlem. But, inasmuch as the Suaday sehoo! had prospered wader bis superinieodency and the teachers thereof had electea him to his position, he did not ro Sign tbut office, A church meoung was called, how- ever, at which bis place in the Suuday acnool was de- clared vacant, THEN THE FUN BEGAN, ‘The pastor was thereupon elected superintendent. His first act was to “recrgapize”’ the scpool, as al- leged, by requesting all the kaown friends of the late superintendeut to resiyn, id, it they refused, forcing them out. Mr. W. H. Rowan, has been @ dent of the neighvorhood tor twenty-seven yeurs, aud baa been connected with the Sunday school for Wwonty-one years, [rom 18 wissiouary inception to the present, 1s thereiore familiar with all 118 ups aud downs, He was respected and houored by Lis fellow touchers, who made Lim treasurer of the schoo! funds, He Was un act:ve defender of the deposed superio- tendent—too active, indeed, to sult the pastor und his Iriends, who got together officially and digidea to expel or exciude the treagurer. Mr. James Rowan, a browwer of Willam H. and a M. Benuam, also members of the church, were like- wise summarily cispo: of for protesting agaist the church action \uward the others. As was natural under the circumstances tue party lines began to be sbarply defined, ‘The excluded members bud wives und Children and frends in the Sunday schoo! and 10 the church who sided with them. About thirty such persons, aguiust Whom no other charge 1s made ex- cept the foregoing, demanded their letters, which were reiused, bere is a dispute on this poiut, however, the pastor’s party claiming that letters have been or will be granted to uil applicamts against whom uo charges or claims pending. Ibe other side 1 st, on tue contrary, tera have been refused o. ground svlely (hat the church would be irreparably datpaged belore the Baptist Association, which mects next mouth, was it to go up with such a record as those transfers would indicate, AN OPPOSITION ORGANIZATION, The upshot of the matter 1s this:—rhe excluded treasurer and friends, the late superintendent and their sympathizers have le{t the Meirose church aud hired a meeting place op Ettou avenue, in the Vivia- ity, Where tuey gather the major part of the old Sun- | day school in the afternoon, while they themseives atiend services morning aud cvening in Harlem or elsewhere for the present. Mr, Rowan, being tre arer, bud $80 of tho Suuday school moveys 1m baud atthe time of bis exciusion, A demand was mude on him by the pastor (or the money and books. He refused to give up either, claiming, as be does, to be still the treasurer of the old organization, The ex- superintendent of the church school bus Leon elected superiutendent of the new entorprise; the old secre- tary 13 also with them. Aad though they have not the church property the excluded members and their 8 claim that they are the rea! Sinon pure Bap- list Church of Melrose. When Mr, Rowan re.used to give up tbe money and books of the school a suit ‘Was threatened by ihe pastor’s party, but, after legal inquiry, that was found to be impracticable as well as expensive. They, therefore, circulaed tue rumor that be was a delacier in the sum named, The money is being expended, however, in the new enter- prise. It 18 said that the church is mortgaged to the extent of $2,100, and that is floating debt at ihis time amouuts ‘to about $1,000 more, including rastor’s baek salary, $600; coal, gus, sexiou and olber items of ‘expeuse. it i also suid that te pastor has been requested to resign, but he refuses uotil the end of tue term tor which he was engaged, April next. ‘Then, it 18 charged by bis op- pouenis, he iute..ds to bring suit against the churca to recover his buck dues, At a moeting of officiais last Monday evecing it 18 reported permission was granted to a commiitee to sell the and Lo procure another and more elig thus, 80 far as could be gleaned from both sides, the mutter stands at present, The church is disrupsed, only five jamilies, 138 sald, remaining im the old so- ciety und about twenty children in the Sunday scnool, The Sabbutn congregations are said not to exceed twenty-tive persous, Where before this trouble 200 to 300 could ve found. And the whole peiguborhvod is filled with the quarrel and the news spreads as the vil- lage gossips travel. : NINELE¢NTH SLIREEL SYNAGOGUE. SERMON BY REV. HENRY P, MENDES—THE MORALITY OF Vows. In the Nineteenth Street Synagogue yesterday Rev, Henry P. Mendes preached on Deuteronomy, xxiii, 23—""Lhat which is gove out of thy lips thou shalt Keep and pertorm; even a farewoll offering, ac- cording as thou hast vowed unto the Lord, thy Goa, which thou bast promised with thy mouth.” Wuile reviewing these parting woras of the great lawgiver Moses, suld Mr. Mendes, we secm to hear avove the never failing ring of oarmestness a tone of feverish anxiety not only to so impress his solemn charge in the hearts of the fathers that nothing may be apie to eradicate it, but avove all to Minish nis task in time, for the day of bis death Is near at band, the shadow of Nebo failetnh upon him, Thus we find commands recited ag if in uervous haste. The laws oj morality, the Jaws for the Well being of the nation especially orm his theine, and the result is the book of Deuteronomy—a monument to ull time of the wis- dow, mercy, justice aud holiness of Israel’s sacrea jaw. {ake the portion fead ibis morning, said he, from which the text is taken, It opens with a com- mand that should make may so called civilized na- tions biush with shame—a command relating to con- duct toward prisoners of war. come laws concerning the government of the home, filial obedtence, chastity, justice, mercy to the poor, to slaves md othe brute creation—questions that have been io our day questions of tue hour, such us restitution of escaped slaves, tue relation of capital and labor, quurautive and other sanitary regulations, alien and naturalization laws, poor laws, busiacss peculations, marriage and divorce laws—all of these eniai sxd und imcuicated bow thor. ough is the Mosaic legislation, how itis that that mugnificent code alone of ail uncient codes still sur- vives and is Still observed, and how its excellence is proved by the fact that it still fulfils the object of all uational legisiation—the preservation of the nation Jogisiated for. ’ THE MORALITY OF Vows. Mr. Mendes (neo drew special sttention to the text and ita subject, Vows. The morality of vows, be re- murked, Was much discussed. It seemed, iadoed, that vows Were eliber much of (be nuture of a bargain—L vow to do su and so if sound 80 happens—or a tacit admission of Want of moral force to strengthen us in our determination, a sort of taking refage benind a fortilicaion of Words, lest uuloreseen circumstances should arise strong enough to carry us vy storm, in curly ages eapecially they were connected with re- figion, wad tt Would seem that Muses Gouing the cus: tom existing among tue Israciies, wille not en couraging it, Was nol only careful to remove trom it ail (hat Was inischievous of demoralizing, but raised it to be in keeping with the high stauderd of morauty he ever svuglt tu inculcate, Mr. Moudes considered certain vows to be “connected with a@ feeling of supernatural awo of @ sense of religion,” eatly to be wuderstood when the spirit of those days 18 considered. But im these days, wuen so ew plead guilty to a feeling of supernatural awe, reducing everything with the crucible of ecience, aud where so many have anything but a sense of practical religion We bear but seldom of such vows, but We hear much of Vows lor which nothing can be sound tu eX.enuation save a want of streugth of mind on the part ot the vower, Mr, Mendes reterrea to rash vows, and asked, “Who 01 Chance that notuing suall wisu Wo bad not vowed? to be at leust 4 supermacu tals have no command o wich may arise and necessitate breakiag the vow.” Wit energy the preacher Solomou rebukes rash spevkers mk jastes, but in Proverbs he treats them with cutting sarcasm. Nor are (ne rabving beuindnand. “He who vyows,’’ say they, ‘is as it he built o v who iuluis one, as if he sacrificed ‘cou un oflering; Whoever vows,’ they remark again, “aod even iuitiis it is cailed « sinne Hite and do mach’? 18 sue advice in thy echuing the words of the tex, a phrase replete wisdom, an sapience of our royal philosopuer, collection of moral gems, The reverend gentleman tien showed a more elevated application of tue text, the keeping of promises, and above all (he promise made Just Ros Asavd and Kipur, without observing which all the lines upon lives, pages upon pages of prayer then read, were but empty verbiage, fle reminded holy duys, or “awiul days” as they (ne atoms sof the text, so as to keep yet their prowises of amendment, IN MEMORIAM—=REV, J.

In their initiatory explorations of the Nineteenth ward, under the street cleaning charge of Officer George W. Flandreau, Hunacp reporters found most of the strects between Fiftieth and Kightieth and Central Park and East River in tolerably fair condiuien. The locality is avery fine one, and, if Murray Mill be ex- cepted, the myst aristocratic in the cit; But, inter- secied us it is by ‘Third avenue, in part of which the New York Elevated ttatlroad is sttll 1n course of con- struction and presenting the encouraging spectacle of yw buildings being erected in every street aud ulmost every block, it is not surprising that it is vot as clean asa neighborhood iv which Filth avenue is the prin- cipal thoroughfare. Still it is tithier than it a be and filthier even than it was two weeks ago. A Man stunaig on the corner of Third avenue and Fifty- ninth street said:—‘+I suspect that some of the labor- ers have been taken out of the ward and made to do duty further down town. In my movements about the neighborhood if lsee any workmen at ail tt is ‘usually a solitary laborer or a single dirt cart.’? TWO MEN AND A CART. These remarks induced the reporter who visited tho ward yesterday to recall tho men and caris ne bad seen at work duriog bis explorations of the ward in the afternoon, ana he found this man’s theory sup- ported by his own observations, In Fifty-cighth street, between Filth and Sixth avenues, there was a man al work sweeping the street, A little further on, in Filty-uinth street, east of Fifth avenue, there was another mun sweeping the dirt into little heaps to wait for the carts. In Second avenue, between Sixtieth and Sixty-sixth streets, a simiiar work had wready beeo poriurmed, und the dirt heaps ow bein sides Of Lue Fuilroad Lack were us Close tugeiber and iv lines a straight as tue pillars which have been ruised for the elevated road in the adjoining thorougb- fare, Between Sixty-litsh und Sixty-sixth streets there was @ curt marked “P.

Certain of the creditors, who were conduct- ing the examinytion, baving concluded not to proceed turiher, other creditors expressed their desire to pro- ceed with such investigation, Thereupon the Regis- ter ruled that such application came too Jate, ana held that be bad no right or power to permit avy exami- bution by any other creditor, Au appeal was taken frum tis decision to Judge Choate, who has rendered the following decision ;— “so far as tho Register sald that he bad no right or power to allow the examination requested on bebalf of Mr. Vombaur 1 think powas imerror, The oredi- tors should be allowed a fuil and tair examination; but il the Register is tished that the examination is merely tor deley, or 1 1s needlessly protracted, ue may 10 his discretion check it or iimit the time when it shall be clozed. 1 see no objectioa'to one creditor proceeding with an examination commenced by an- other if that examination is incomplete or leaves Matters that way.
