‘NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, MARCH 11, 1879.—TRIPLE SHEET. SEEDS OF TRUTH. “The Name of Christ Shall Endure Forever.” DETHRONE CHANCE. “All the World Has Dreamed Of, but Not Known Deity.” —_——— CHURCH OF THE DISCIPLES. OHRISTIANITY AND ITS INFLUENOK ON THE LIFE—A SERMON BY THE REV. GEORGE HEP- WORTH. ‘The clause in the 20th verse of the second chapter of St. Faul’s epistis to the Gatatiens,on which we are about to meditate, said Mr, Hepworth, is the following:—And the lite which I now live in the Gosh I live by the faith of the Son of Ged, who loved me and gave himself for me.” In order that we may better understand this clause I will read youa fow lines of the context. St. Paul says, and itis an assortion which attracts or rather startles our atten- tion, “I am crucified with Christ; nevertheless I live.” This isa divine paradox—it is a crucifixon anda resurrection. He partook of the sufferings of the Lord; he partook also of the risen glory, simply and only felt because he belonged to the Lord and the Lord to him, There is a very great difference, bretpren, between a will that is broken by brute force and one that is voluntarily surren- dered to a superior being. In the one case you have # living death and in the other highest expression of life. If we look at the conversion of St. Paul we see a surrender of St. Paul’s will. Jesus Christ is the master of the soul of Paul;* He did not break the apostle’s will; He only accomplished his surrender to ‘His superior grace and superior wisdom. 8t. Paul, in the presence of Christ was in the presence of God, The matter of sacrifice was not in Paul so much as it was that his character and will were yielded to the goodness of Christ. Paul reserved no right to himeelf except the right to implicitly obey. _Ho felt that the Master had over- come him by the majesty and grandeur of His will. Just os when one naturally yields to the guidance of an Alpine guide when we are treading the path of the mountain top, aud he tells you of danger, cautions and directs your steps and meets every emergency, we reserve no rights except that of yielding to the superior wisdom ot his direction, The wan who tries to climb the top of Mont Blanc must when he starts give up all his right of private judgment; otherwise death may in- tertere at any moment. .‘The guide knows more than he does, and.he will carry the traveller to the top, but ouly on the condition that ho gives up his will to the will of the superior judgment. ‘This was a blessed and marvellous experience of St. Paul, and it was s0 lorious that all the ages have remembered it, and have descrived it with an eloquence that rings through the air of tho nineteen centuries, and yet retains all the freshness of a first told story. How large, then, was the idea of Paul in relation to the Christian ministry, and how great and responsible is the influence of the Christian minister! t us look for a few moments at this vistianity that was preached by Paul, and what it is that demands a surrender of our life as complete as that which Paul yielded. WHAT CHRISTIANITY 18. Brethren, Christianity is a system of thought that necessarily compels the attention of the intellect of man. We cannot think of Christ without being Christ like. We cannet think what Christ did for the redemption of the soul, the sacrifices He made for us, the destiny Ho prepared for us, the motives He pre- souted to us and the circumstances which surrounded this gt. without tears of gratitude and a feeling of awe brought into our being. All the world dreamed of a God, but all the world has not known God. he Christian's God is a distinct and a clear reward. The’ philosopher has a vision of God, but the Christian has a sight of Him, The scientific man doubts whether there be a God; the poorest and humbiest Christian, who has hati experiences with his od, has no doubt of it. The Bible has served, then, to make clear, complete and well defined certain dett- nitions of Christianity. The chemist tells us thatina ord of water that is evidently clear there is eid in solution a large amount of alum. He cin put some mysterious acid into the water; it will give up the alum and be as clear as crystal, It seems to me, brethren, that mankind have held the idea of God in solution; it wus there in all their seekings, but it.had no distinct form. When Jesus Christ came the alum was se) from the water, and the world has such distinct and clear ideas of God that the child speaks Him as “Our Father, which art in heaven.” But Christianity is nota mere system of thought; it is a mode of life, and it iss this which satisfies the soul. A man may me it ani- mal without God; but if he desires so! ing better than his body, a manhood within, he must be filled with something like angelic wants. The whole world has had its idols. Athens and Rome had theirs; tho Epicureans and the Stoics had theirs; feed it was easy to reach their God, and we sigh as we think of how vain was their effort to become rfect even as our Father in heaven was: perfect. ‘ink of St. Peter, a fisherman, uncultured and unlettered, ‘but filled with the Spirit of God. He reaches the word of life; he gives up.his home, his riends, everyt! that he may serve the Master. He asks when ife is to be offered a sacrifice to his convictions, that he may dic not as his Master did, on thé cross, with his head toward heaven, but with his head downward toward the earth. The soul is in ites normal condition of goodness when it answers in that way to the thoughtof God. Mr. Hepworth concluded his discourse by the relation of an experience he had last summer in one of the cathedrals of Europe in which there were two organs, and where he hi music on these instruments that blended so harmoniously, one in the distance softly and lowly putting forth its harmonies, aud the other answering thereto in louder tones. He urged his hearers to so attune their lives that a harmony so divine should be preserved that they would blend with tho music of the heavenly host. . PLYMOUTH . CHURCH, HOME MISSIONS; THE FUTURE OF THE WEST AND THE CHINESE QUESTION—SERMON BY THE REV. HENRY WARD BEECHER, Until Christ came, eaid Mr. Beecher, the spirit of the Jews was centripetal, afterward it was centrif- ugal. Once the cry had been, ‘Abide ye hero; now it was, “Go yo out.” Isracl was kept &t homo and at school till the fulness of time was comé. The dis- ciples were sent forth, not as # duty, but in the spirit that having frecly received they should freely give; and as the mirror, smitten by the sun, flashes it back, so we, too, must see that the gifts which build us up in the bouaehold and community are disftibuted over the land. That distribution is the work of the Home Missionary Society. New England ‘was our Palostinc—the cPadle of our religion. The Atlantic States gave us a constitution; the Southern States taught us public policy. ‘To-day it is the nis that sits at our fgot for counsel and for instruc- jon. . ‘Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado, Nevada, Arizona, Montana, Dokota, Oregon and Cali: fornia—what on imperial host is there! Goths and Huns have smothered out populations; bat here world has risen up in the wilderness. Withi twenty-five years the gisnt brood has been born. Popglation rolled in trom every side, Law and ystems of education they carried from the East; ‘but the pestilent air of gambling ned the whole tom; of the public mind, 1 -like slow buildings of industry were till lately unknown, Chance was enthroned. The law of individual dwarfed the law of society. California has been a1 fering trom dyspepsia by reson of ite undi Nationality, Its sense of public Justice is » Ite fellow feeling with the brotherhood of man ts small, Gospel spirit it has none. # BEAUTIFUL TOWNS, this miracle of beautiful towns and cities grew ito being; how, working from the bottom, this scheme of’ society, home Mfe, churches nhowspapers was woven togother, ordinary rules of eS are unable to explain; but it is certain hat these States will acon hold a preponderant pop: ulation, and that wo have yet scarcely tou the m of their garment. ‘e langh at hoodinme chasing tne pia led Mongol; but do we remember that in the Mongol’s home there aro ten libraries to one in Aim that of all his millions of country- men t is scarcely one but can 4 and write, and th@in good manners—for which there is ample market in America—they lord the world?

Let him not believe that onts is o paralyzed world from which a few human souls will bo picked off and saved. The world isa germ that has just sprouted. Blight and drought may fall upon it, but the Church wilt goon patiently tilling. Itis not the preacher Whose sermons echo and reverberate thet will stand in God's presence, but be who points to the pure ways of lise, who i# faithful to his parish work, who holds up through trial and sorrow the standard of the cross. And that 1s the work of our home mission in the Weat— keeping in the minds of those who have wandered Car From home rome of the piety that sanctified their childhood, educating and preparing them for salva tion, My heart, sald the preacher, is there, faith is there, The love which [ bear to thix 80 great in ppwsibilities, 60 proudin ancestry, so | man dicth to himaelf.” Tho congreyation was o | noble im its institutions—the land for which I live and daily pray—is less than the love which [bear to this church, the pride with which I feel heart beat in every crisis and with every generous impulso of our national life. MASONIC TEMPLE, BIBLE LITERATURE—SERMON BY MR. 0. B. FROTHINGHAM, The subject of Mr. O. B. Frothingham’s discourse in Masonic Temple was the “Literature of the Bible.”” He referred toa remarkable book on }j ire and dogmatism published in England some five years ago. It was written in the interest of the Bible, and it lamented the loss of authority of the Bible among theWorking classes, arguing that this was because the sacred literature was so inextricatily mixed up with the useless and irrelevant dogmatism of Christianity as to greatly sink the Scriptures in the estimation of the people. From this it must appear that the im- portance of separating the Bible, as a literature, from the dogma associated with it, cannot be overesti- mated. It is impossible to consider the Bibié asa divinely inspired book; for if itis, who shall dare to censure or praise that which is the work of God? If the Bible is divine, then all praise of it must be criticism in view of the stupendous fact that tho Absolute Conscience has dictated it. In fact the whole intellectual power of the mind must sink into naught before so sublime work, Hence, in Christianity there can be no criticism. With it the Bible is divine, and the divine 1s beyond prai@e. It says to all the rest of the world--Staud back, do not find fault with the in- spired Word.- But thinking men cannot fail to per- ceive that the doctrine of inspiration has near! killed the Bible; for men, in . have swall > not digested it. ‘The Christians claim that all litera- ture is at an immeasurable distance from that of the Bible. Seneca, Epictetus, Plato, Euclid, Descartes, Shakespeare and the ancient sages of the fur East all are held to be as distant from tho literature of the Bible as we are from the stars. Shakcspeare and the other great authors may be taken up for 4 while for intellectual amusement only, but they must never be compared with the.sacred writings. HUMAN AND DIVINE PRODUCTIONS. Literature is the product of the human mind, but the Bible is the emanation of the divino; and the between the two must be vastly greater than between the mind of an infant and that of » Plato, multiplied by several millions. To the be- Mef that this literature is the duct of the Divine ‘Mind is due the fact that it has been scattered all over the earth broadcast. The American Bible So- ciety, which is not as large asthe British and For- eign Bible Soctoty, has spent over $700,000 in one year in circulating it, and in the same timo more than one million copies have been issued, The Bible Society has had the book translated into above one hundred and fiffy languages. In the last three- juarters of @ century 115,000,000 volumes of the criptures have gone forth into the world; the object of this enormous circulation being, to puta copy into the hanas of every man, woman, or young per- son who could read it, Certainly enterprise like this has produced its effect; aud such has become the fame of the Bible that thousands have learned to read only that they might peruse its pages. The effect of all this is, in the main, good; but tue result is a con- fused idea of God, the world and society. Still, chastity, ness, innocence, have found an inexhaustible fountain of wealth in its teach- ings, At the same time, it cannot be denied that here and there groups of people have seized on,some ugly passage und built a sys- tem upon it. Mormonism advocates polygamy by Scriptural quotations; there is-even tre worship in the Bible; ond the former slaveholders in the South ‘defended their barbarous institution by it, while the abolitionists of the North, basiug their ideas in its teachings, rang forth their appeals for emancipation like the reverberations of heaven itselt. At the same time it is a democratic book; we get out of itour ideas of equality; tor we see that Moses was a leader of the people, as Christ, thoir prophet. It ranks with the Veda, the Roran and the great writ- ings of Mencius, Confucius and other prodigies of literature. In speaking of the spread of general literature and the marvellous increase of the number of readers on ali sides, Mr, Frothingham said that nearly every large town in the Union can boast of a free library, to support which the people cheerfully tax theine selves. The Boston Library, which was founded in 1852, has issued be read 10,000,000 volumes, and has 400,000 volumes on its catalogues. In a single year it sent out 1,000,000 volumes, and there have been days in which it circulated 10,000 books to its readers, who numbered 100,000 souls per month, He spoke at length of tae Apprentices’ Free Library in this city, with its 173,000 volumes and 9,000 readers. He believed that novel reading was, upon the whole, good, and said that tie great Lord Macaulay was one ot the most inveterate novel read- ors in Englaud. He looked upon the works of suché writers*us Shakespeare, Thackeray, George Eliot, Dickens and some others as ranging up with works of philosophy. All this vast dissemination of litera- ture vulgurized the best thoughts of the human mind and tended to bring Bible literature out of the realm of superstitious revelation where it had been for ages, and to place it on ite undoubted merits among the efforts of human intellect. A result of this kind would be most beneficial, guiding the hu- man race into those paths of progress anda higher civilization toward that comparative happiness in the religion of love to which all men shuuld aspire. 4 BROOKLYN TABERNACLE, THE NAME OF 32808-—-GEEMON BY THE REV T. DE WITT TALMAGB, D. D. ‘Mr, Talmage preached in the Brooklyn Tabernacle on “The Sweetest Sound on Earth—The Name of Jesus.”" The sermon was a purely Gospel sermon, and contained no reference to the pastor’s troubles with the Presbytery. The text was taken trom Phil. ii., 9—A name which is above every name.” ‘This, said Mr. Talmage, was one of’ Paul's rap- turous and enthusiastic descriptions of the name of" Jesus. There aro merely human. that thrill you through and tyrough, By common proverb we have come to believe that there is-notbing in a name, und so parents somotimes present their children for baptism regardless of the title given them, and not thinking that that particular title will becither a hindrance or a help. You have no right to give to your child a name that is lacking either in ew hony or in moral meaning. It in for you to pall your ebild Jehoiakim or Ti -Pileser. (Laughter.) Mighty destinies bave been decided by the sig- nificance ot a name. The name of Jesus is ancasy name. Sometimes we are introduced to people whose names are so long and Lo ateceeer arene that we have sharply to ligten and to hear the neme given to us two or three tiles before we venture to it. But within the first two years the little clasps its hands and looks up and says, “Jesus.” Still fw . it is a beautitul name, As we cannot dissociate @name from the per- son who holds the name that consideration inakes Christ’s name so wnspeakably beautiful. Beautiful name—dJesus! Itstands for tor lence, tor kindness, tor fo! nee, for self-sacrifice, for maz- nanimity, It is asweet name spoken by the lips of childhood, spoken by the old man, THE SAVIOUR'S LOVE. It isa mighty name. Teli me soy name in all the earth so potent to awe and litt and thrill and rouse and agitate and bless as this namo of Jesus, At its utterance the last wall of sin will fall, the last temple of superstition will crash to pieces. That name wiil first make all the earth tremble, and then it will make all the nations sing. Itis tobe the password at every gate of honor, ‘the insignia on every flag, the battle shout in every conflict. All the millions of the earth are to know it. It is an enduring name. “You clamber over the fence of the graveyard and pull aside the weeds and you see the inscription on the tombstone. That was the name of a man who once ruled all thattown. The mightiest names of the world have either perished or are perishing, but the name of Christ is to endure forever. It will be perpetuated iu art, in song, in costly and magniticent architecture, and in the literature of the world, But above all, and more than all, that name will be em- baled in the memory of ail the good of earth and all the great ones ot heaven. To destroy the memory of that name ot Christ you would have to burn up ail the Bibles and all the churches on carth, and then, in a spirit of universal arsun, go through the gate of heaven and put a torch to the temples and the towers and the palaces, and after all that city wae wrapped in awful conflagration, and the citizens camo out and gazed on the ruius, even then they would hear that name in the thunder of falling tower and the crash ot crumbling wall, and see it inwrought in flying banners of flame, and the redeemed of the rd on high would be happy yet, and ery out, “Let the palaces and the temples burn; we have Jesus left.” . YORK STREET M. E. CHURCH. REUNION. AND DEBT RAISING—SERMON BY BISHOP SIMPSON. Nearly fifty-four years ogo York Street Methodist Episcopal Church, Brooklyn, was tounded, Tne city was small then, but it bas grown and the char- acter of the population in the midst of whom the church stands has yreatly changed, so that now it is a downtown church, hard pressed to live, financially and spiritually, For some years past its Anances have run behind, Its once wealthy membership has gone to other localities and churches, though many of ite old friends still lend @ helping hand, Yesterday tho old church bad a reunton of former pastors and members, with a view to pay off its indebtedness, which amounts to $4,800-—§:,300 of which is a float, ing debtand $5,500 a mortgaged obligation. With this sum cleared off the oficidis think they can sus- tain the church afterward, They ought to be able to do #0, tor, by the report of the treastrer of the chureh, their expenses during the conference year now closing amounted only to $1,743 $9—a sin so emall, as he remarked, that’ ® niission can hardip be maintained with it. Of this amount tho pastor gets $1,000 Noe. and interest takes $42 ot the total. Bishop Simpson, ot Philadelphia, and Dr. Dashioll, the suc: retary of the Missionary Society, wero present during the day, The Bishop preached a sermon on the brotherhood of humanity trom the soxt, ltomans, xtv., 7—"For none of us liveth to himself, and no large one and filled every of the church, and the Bi "s references to the higher forms of self-sacri- fice, Thustrated by Luther, Wi , Paul and Christ, called forth frequent amens hallelujahs from the audience, many of whom could trace their spirit- from that old edifice. The Bishop showed by illustrations from nature that noth- ing lives for itself, and from the social life of man . that his text is true. He referred to John Howard, the philanthropist; to Floreuce Nightingale, and others, whose names are houschold words in the world, just because they lived unselfish lives, And then, by way of contrast, he referred to some recent noted cases of rich men living for themselves and dying leaving their relatives to aght over their pos- sessions, And the principle of the text, illustrated as it was, he applied to the case in hand—the relict of old York Street Church from finaucial embarrass- ment. At the clone ofthe. pishows sermon Dr. Dashiell took hold of the finances and called for subscriptions, which ‘were taken up first in sums of $100, Twenty of th were asked but not obtained at the mori servicd. ‘The service was continued during the day, however, and nearly the entire amount raised, A reunion love foast was held in the afternoon, and in the evening Dr. John C, Cookman, of New York, preached. The old church will take a now lease of 1 and go for- ward with its work from this time forth, BLEECKER STREET UNIVERSALISTS. THE CHURCH AND THE THEATRE—SERMON BY ‘ THE REV. E. C. SWEETSER, Among the thipgs which God in His wisdom has Joined together, said the Rev. E. ©. Sweetser, at the Bleecker Street Universalist Church, are the various needs of humsn nature, He has been pleased to combine in our complex constitution a qged of re ligion and a need of amusement, of course, with many other needs. The Church is gonerally ad- mitted to be the principal means of mesting man’s religious needs; but the proper relation of the Church to the theatre or the proper attitude which the Church should sustain to the theatre is @ subject which has been discussed more or less for a good many years, but never 80 widely or to so great an advantage as now. After speaking of the importance of the subject and say- ing that both man’s need of religion and his need of amusement are. of God's making and ought to be satistied, the preacher added that there is » mistake somewhere, and an injurious mistake whenever men attempt to sitisfy their need of religion in sucha way as to exclude amusement from thetr lives or to satisty their need of amusement so as to exclude religion from their lives, Those theories and methods which are hostile to amusement as such, and those kinds of amusement whicn are hostile to religion are ulike indefensible. Though the atheist and the sensualist may scoff at re- ligion as @ man-made superstition and tho seit-flagellating bigot may denounce human na ture as essentially corrupt, and may declare that its desire for amusement implanted by the devil, Mr. Sweetser said he took human nature as he found .it; and, finding that it needs both religion and amuse- ‘ment for its welfare, as 8 plant hase need of light and moisture, he assumed that both arc appropriate ob- jects for mankind to pursue. THE ATTITUDE OF THE CHURCH. ( If the theatre is essentially good, if it affords @ legitimate and powertul means of amusing the people; if, notwithstanding the evils which are con- nected with it, it is itself a good thing, with noble ssibilities, like @ man or ® woman who fallen from virtue, but who, nevertneless, has aspira- tions after a righteous life with saintly capabilities, if it can be redeemed from bad uses and made to minister properly to man’s neea of amusement, fill- ings place in that respect which nothing else can fill, then the Church should take toward it a friendly attitude and openly seek alliance with it. If that is what the theatre is, then there should be no divorce- ment between the Church and the theatre, or,at least if there is any the Church should not be responsible for it. If, however, it is essentially bud, if the auusement which it turnishes is necessarily of an evil kind, having ® tendency to depraye man- kind, if the evils which are associated with it are inherent and ineradicable, while the good which it does, if it does any at all, is only sporadic | and incidental, then certainly the Church should ave no alliance with it, but should oppose it, un- hesitatingly and without the least compromise. It is sometimes said, and has lately been said, that the Chureh can do nothing to-injure the theatre, snd that, inasmuch ag the theatre is a fixed institution and mankind will have it pe, » the Church might as well acknowledge the % and cease to oppose what it cannot prevent. But that is a very fallacious argument. It is a sample, however, of a particular kind of worldlywise foolishness, which is altogether too common and too acceptable in society. It is our duty to God to abhor that which is evil and to ‘battle against it to the extent of our power, But, on the other hand, that method of dealing with the question which assumes that the theatre is utterly ‘bad and that the Church should therefore oppose it in toto is equally fallacions and perhaps moro in- jurious, For if it should turn out upon investigation that the theatre is by no means entirely bad, but that there is a great deal of good in it and that it is capable of more good, why, then, by ignorantly and unjustly condemning it the Church is in danger of hindering its improvement by giving it # bad name and of re- elling from itself many people who perceive the in- Justices of its attitude and of sth | the weak consciences of a great many more who will go to the theatre, being led there Db: its attractions and by the example of others at the same time they think that perhaps they ought not to go be- | cause the Church prohibits them. It is a dangerous thing for the Church to give occasion for its mem- berg to hesitate between obeying its requirements aod doing what, except for its requirement. they cannot sou the slightest harm in. It tends to make doubters and hypocrites of them. ‘NOT SINFUL IN freELy. ‘As for the assumption that the theatre is entirely, or almost entirely, good and that us a moral power it sui the Church, an assumption which has lately been made by one who was an actress and who is at present a lecturer, it is too stupidly false to domand contradiction. The truth is that the theatre in itself has no moral character at all, that is to say it is neither moral nor immoral. It is sim- ply a passive instrument, so to k, which may be used neither morally nor immorally. The dramatic art is in this respect like the other arte—like paint- ing or sculpture, or Lineage’ Agron 9 may be used to express moral or immoral » oF ideas which havo no reiation to morality. There is no mere harm in a dramatic composition simply as such, than in a pic- ture, or a statue, or a ; and there is no more harm necessarily a yg a heer or in wit- nessing @ drama, than there arran; the pic- tures for an exhibition in our Academy Piles cc in going to see hem when arranged, Whether any hari attaches to it depends on what the drama is, just as it depends on what the pictures are. are good fring and baa pictures, good dramas and bad ramas, and neither kind is responsible for the other, A play is in reality a living picture, and the thoatre is only the frame for the exhibition of the picture, In conclusion the speaker said that the Church should acknowledge that the theatre in itself is by no means sin:ul, but that, notwithstanding the base uses to which it has been so often put, itis stilla good thing essentially, which has done much good and which may do more if only itis rightly used. Let the Church, therefore, seck to redeem the theatre from evil uses and associations, and to form a holy alliance with it for the elevation ot mankind, ST.

SOCIAL ETHICS—-LECTURE BY PROFESSOR FELIX ADLER. i Professor Adler’s subject was “Social Ethics.” Ho said:—The first impulse of many people upon the approach of any great danger is to deny its existence. The wisest policy, they think, is to say nothing about it, But if the plague approaches it will not avail to avert the .peril if all agree to say nothing about it. Tlere must be warnings. So must there be warnings also against the moral plague, the social pest of anarchy that is beginning to infect the civ- ilized countries of Europe and America, The social condition of Europe at the present day is such as to give ground for serious apprehensions. In England attempts sre constantly being made to cut down the wages of the employed classes and to increase the honrs of labor, The workingmen resist but are van- quished, and in large numbers aro thrown tpon tyublic ’ relief. In Germany the condition of affairs aro even more alarming. The socialist party counts well nigh half a million voters at the polls, The German people groan under the weight of the burdons im- posed by the military establishment. They demand reliet from excessive taxation. Instead of that the man of iron will who rules their affairs says in the spirit of ‘ancient despotism:—“If you complain of your burdens I will yet add to them; if whips do not suffice I will lash you with pee ees pepe ring you to reason.” In Italy, France, Spain also revolu- tionary ferment is working. In Russia, under the very se of an autocratic government, the wildest radicalism is being nurtured. We may at any day see the fires that are now smouldering under their ashes start torth into widespread conflagrations. In this country the distress of the poor is by no means so neute, nor hag it had time to becqme chronic, Yet we should not indulge in hasty self-congratula- tion. WHAT PRODUCES THE TENEMENT HOUSE SYSTEM. Greatly as we are favored on many accounts, there is one particularly in which we enjoy no advantage. ‘The quostion has lately been put, Why the teuement house people should crowd into dur cities, consider- fug the yust unoccupied spaces that would remain open to them? The answer is that it is in the nature of the modern industrial system to gather the People in knots and thus to generate puuperism. The fac- the presence of the factory land; the workman must live in the vicinity of his place of work; the tendency ‘of wages is toward a minimum. Hence, since the work- people must choose land near the factory, since the price of such land is high, since their means are sn it follows that repr fr them must crowd to- gether on narrow plots of land, and hence the origin of the tenement house. Hence the social question, ot which the tenement is, as it were, the symbol. If» factory were placed in the midst ot theGarden of Eden “Hiddekel or Gihon” would probably be used as a water power, the flowers would disappear in the neighborhood of the establishment, and 4 miserable population would dwell around about it. The fac-, tory ties population to the soil. However wide the open territory of our country may be, that will not prevent the flow of labor to the towns and the constant development of the most shocking poverty in these centres. America, however, is oge in a fortunate position by having an incalculable plenitude of un- touched wealth to falt Back upon. ‘It 2, therefore, for experiments in social improvement. ‘These experiments, however, should be initiated without delay, the people roused to a consciousness of their importance, aud the moral questions under- lying them be publiciy discussed with earnest courage and tireless iteration. ha ‘WHAT I3 RELIGION? Before concluding the subject, however, there is one other point which I desire to touch upon. It> has been suid the work of social relief, the education of poor childron, attempts at co-operation and col- onization are excellent in their way, but it is a mis- tuke to suppone that they are areligion. So knowl- edge is excellent and art is excellent, but not there- fore a religion. In the pursuit. of knowledge, of duty, the conterring of benefits on others bring us only into finite relations with nature and with our fellow men. But religion would bear us, as ou eagle's wings, into the heights and depths of tue in- finite. Arid I concede this, that we dare not lose the thought of the infinite. ‘There is a strange law gov- erning our personal relations, When we exawine them we find that they are -im reality not personal. The nation worships not Wash- ington, but an ideal of patriotixm called by that name. The great men of ‘orld glide, even while they live, into something spiritual. The Alexanders Cromwells, could they be seen aw. they wero, would seem little beside their fame. We reverence the qualities shore than the men. The true greatness of the great consists in this—that they est the highest greatness. So it is in friendship and in love. I love theo, friend, as 1 behold ip thee a part of that affection after which 1 yearn, Not thou, but the law that is realized in thee, makes firm and holy our bond. The illusion of absolute perfection in the beloved object has becn cailed by tho ill-starred Heloise the holy error of love. It is more, it is the divination of personal truth, Much more is this the case in that love, which we call cherity—the love of humanity. I am not so much interested in these swarming thons- ands ot the poor as individuas. Not to their wants, their pains, their afilictions, do I seek to awaken interest. ‘That would be charity in the ordinary sense, But I point to an essential injustice in their condition, and call on ali who are willing, in the name of the everlasting law ot justice, to establish justice, to build up moral perfection on earth, to fulfil the Supreme law of the Universe—to help, not for the sake of helping these men, these women, but to help for righteousnoss sake. ‘This is charity 1m & Feligious sense. And do you wonder, then, that the greatest and wisest teachers of relig- ion, the men whose words still quicken and recreate our souls, Lave-eyer taught the yospel of social per- fection as the outcome of their principles? They foliow the truest inspiration in so doing; they re- veal the natural religion in that gospel. THE, HOUSE OF MERCY. ‘The anniversary services of the House of Mercy were held at Trinity Chapel, West Twenty-fifth «street, laat evening. ‘The Right Rev. G. ¥. Seymour, D. D., late chaplain of the institution, was expected to deliver the usual sermon, but dochniug to do so, the Rev. Morgan Dix, D. D., of Trinity Church, road the recent seport of Bishop Seymour reviewing the workings of the institution, saying it was a report of great value and demanded attention, Two facts made this anniversary of more than the usnal importance. Tho first was tho rotirin ot Kishop Seymone fromthe Board of Trustees, ond the second the attack made against the House during the past autumn. The report siates that the antece- dents and surroundings of tho beneficiaries ot this work of charity expose it, above all, to the assaulta of the viciows and the unprincipied from without. The poor victim of shame, who socks to escape from the totls of the dostroyer, and p to load a better life, is often pursued by the lose companion of her guilt, who en- deavor, under some pretence, to tear her from her shelter and force her back into the ways of sin. It may be assumed in almost every caso, continues Bishop Simpson, where the attempt is made to re move an inmate by legal writ from the House of Mercy that the purpose in view is infamous. ‘There has hot been « single exception to this state- ment daring the past sixteen years. There is nothing secret or concealed about t® administration or work of this institution. mod proper and weil accredited person who might wish to tuépect its in- nermost recesses would be welcomed and afforded every facility for making his investigation. Indeod, adds Bishop Simpson, it might be well for some cor- tion or body which fairly represents the public to visit the House by its deputies at such times as they might select, THE BETHEL SHyP. The Bethel ship John Wesley, which was need for slong time by the Scandinavian Misgion, was yester- day decioated to the nse of the revival meetings over which Captain Jameson presides, The ship lay at the foot of Fitteonth street, Jersey City. Between four and five hundred people flied thig floating chaj and’ listened with unwearied atgention to an elo- quent address by Dr. Knapp. Tho proceedings were ronght to a closé by an a! for aid in comme 4 the $400 necessary © comp! the purchase the Bethel ships FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL Review of the Week---Stock Specula- tion Dull and Quiet. THE MONEY AND EXCHANGR MARKETS, Investment Securities---Govermment, State | and Railroad Bonds. Wax Sraerr, } Bunpay, March 16, 1879. Business on the Stock Exchange last weok was dull and syjritless, Thero was as little of Andalusian fire in the bulls as ot grizzly terocity in the bears, and under this tempered and tamed spirit specula- tion grew sluggish and excitement cooled down to the zero point. The pedestrinn craze, which éoems to have affected brokers end bummers in equal de- gree; the absence of certain prominent operators, who had transterred their inquiries into the natural history of ‘lame ducks” from the Hudson to the Chesapeake; and, above all, a vague apprehension of a tight money market in the near future, acted as so many deterrents to speculation and reduced matters to the deadly-lively condition of a brokers’ market. In the early part of the week prices declined moder- ately, in the middie they became stealy and at the end grew strong and developed an upward ten- dency. This latter condition was unquestionably due to a removal of the fears as to the money ques- tion (Mr. Secretary Sherman’s letter giving as- surances that the Treasury would only call for cur: rency as it was neoded) and to the less threatening ap- pearance of the bank reserve, these being taker as evidences of continued ease in the money market. Nevertheless, the settlements to be made with the government during April, on account of the 4 per cent loan, added to the usual country liquidations which occur at this season, are very formidable and promise to create at least a temporary stringency. It does not appear probable, théretore, that any con- certed bull movement will be inaugurated until this Soylla and Charybdis' shall have been safely passed, although, from the strength with which lead- ing stocks are held, it is still more improbable to ex- pect a serious decline. With this view of contingen- cies wo venture the “tip” that for some weeks to come the market will remain quiet and steady and in the hands of the smaller optrators. Speculation during the week was inclined to desert from the heavy artillery of the market, so to speak, and attach itself to the service of the infant brigade, which is conrposed of low priced stocks. It happeno, there. fore, that such stocks as Wabash, Kansas Pacific, Kansas and Texas and St.Louis and San Francisco wero brought to the front and put through the paces of a lively advance movement.) A rise in Canada South- ern of 7 per cent, in Northwestern common of 4 per cent and in Rock Island of 3 per cent were the fea tures of the week on the bull side of the account In other sectrities dealings were restricted and with- out animation, and consequently call for no special comment. ‘The opening prices of stocks on Monday last were as follows:—Delaware and Hudson, 42; Wostern Union, 10414; Pacific Mail, 13%; Erie, 25%; New York Central and Hudson River, 116; Lake Shore, 71%; Morris and Essex, 84!;; Northwestern, 53}; Northwestern pgoferred, 851; St. Paul, 37%; St. Paul preferred, 8134; Delaware, Lackawanne and Western, 4334; Michigan Central, 8744; Rock Island, 130; Wabash, 2055; New Jersey Central, 3313; Kan- sas Pacific, 2234; Kansas and Texas, 95;; Union Pa- cifle, 7444; Hannibat and St. Joseph, b14%; Hanni- bal and St. Joseph “preferred, b434{; Ohio and Mis- sissippi, b11; American District Telegraph, 4414.

Tho Secre- tary of the Treasury, in letter to General Hill- house, promises to act so as to cause as little interfer- ence as possible with the money market, but the enormous amount of the scttloments for next month and the low state of the bauk reserve have caused considerable uneasiness. Foreign exchange has been firm, except upon Thursday, when the Bank of Eng- land reduced the rate of discount to 2}¢ per cent. On Friday, however, rates were again advanced and the market closed firm. The weekly statement of tho New York bauks shows a reduction of $1,063,200 in the total reserve, caused by a loss of $1,420,400 logal tender notes, less a gain of $367,200 specie, As tho deposit liabilities aro down $2,720,800, the loss in surplus reserve is only $370,750, The surplus re- serve is now $3,884,975, against $16,100,825 a year ago. ‘The following is acomparison of the bank averages for the last two woeks:— March 8 March 15.
