SERMON ON TUB "KMTHJ" I.NES* OF OOC" BT
O. B. FBOTHlNMBAJf.
In the ball of tne new ji.ipouic female, corner
of biita avenue aud Twenty-third street, Mr O.
l>. Iroiblngbini preachod veateruay morning.
His subject was the "l-aithialness of God." The
object oi tbe sermon was to prove that to Himself
Cud could not be unfaittuul. His ideas of rigut
and justice were dilTeieut in many respects iroiu
those ot men, and those oi men were, In their
turn, dltlerent from each other. One man would
say. "Ifl uad the remodelling of tbe world I would
ordain so and so;1' another aaja if be bad
had tbe reconstruction of affairs he
would have a condition of affair* obtain just ttie
opposite irom th' se longed lor by No. X. Let me j
illustrate. Suppose one or thoie men who have
at ueart tne amelioration ot the working clashes
expresses a desire to remodel the world. At once ,
we know thai be would predicate all other ar
rangeiuen a of society on that of Ue obliteration
of the impassable chasm between labor and capi
tal, And ?iii'n tins was dooe rh re would ue no
? i 'uy"!er ugemt-nts, aa society would
a an i sail, ine pleasures and prizes oi tile woulu
be fijuuily iilstributed. and what one man tiau ail
otters wouid nave, competition wouid cease ui;d
tne sweetness or rewaiued human eaoria vrouid
be known uo more.

A poem, which a short time sincd wua very

THE KJCV. JOHN 7AH1.KT.
The Rev John Farley preached the sermon at
the Cathedral yesterday. There was quite a large
congregation, many of those present being non
Cat holies who had put in an appearance nuder
the impression that the Cardinal Archbishop was
to preach, whereas he will lor the hrst time since
he was made Cardinal preach in the Cathedral
next Sunday, when a collection is to be takeu up
for the Pope in an the cliarches of the arcu
dlocese.
fhe Kev. Father Farley's discourse was quite
brie', lie called attention to the tact that on next
Thursday the church would celebrate tue reast of
Corpus Cnristl, one of the greatest festivals or the
Church, commemorative of one ot the great
est irifts God had ever endowed liis
Church with. Altnouga on Holy Thursday the
Church paid great and special honors to the
blessed sacrament, yet Holy Thursday was in
Lenten time, when the Church was in mourning,
a* it were, and thus it was that a special day wus
fixed for the celebration, when the churcn might
rejoice with great joy for the blessing God had
I voucusaied to maiikiud in tue establish men i of

he said, centuries ago. a priest had declared > hat in
ttie wa.er tuere was nothing but the representation,
aud not the real body of Curist. Against ibis dec
laration tUere went up throughout the Chur< h a
universal cry of indignation. Hut the priest re
tracted after the council of the Churcn nati de
emed that Christ's body and blood were really
present in the sacrament, and ironi that rime to
this no here*) oi the Kind uad ever shown itself
Wi iiiii the i hur h. The reverend Dreaciier than
argued in a very eloquent manner to show that
this doctrine of the church had been
in existence irom the very beginning. Tne
eucharlst ?ns e-tabl;sned by Christ himself,
aui in every Catholic church of the world
tue establishment Oi the blessed sact ameut would
be ce.eoraieu with all tue Porn.. and glory possible, j
It was, he saiu, now that the festival was at
l and, a proper time lor all Catholics to loos into
their past lives, and on that <lav, mindful of their
sins ana toe scandals they may have given life to in
their actions aud their speech, to make a firm
resolution to repair tae wrongs they had corn- j
mute i auu trie paiu they had given by their sins
to tue sacred heart ot Jeuus, which had bled lor
tueui. We were so careless in our everyday tile.
We went along iroui week to wee*, heeding not |
the teachings oi religion, and, rather than struggle
to overcome ourselves, allowed temptation
to overcome us anu out salvation to become a sec
ondary coiisideiatioii. The heart of Jesu*. by our
carelessness, our scandals, our impure thoughts
and evil actions, was made to bleed again; tue
leas< of Corpus Christl, tuen, should -be a re
turn ter of tne goodness of God to us, and
no<r merciful he was, even though we returned
his kin lines* with basest ingratitude. We snould
otiee.ior all seriously think oi what the blessed sac
rament was, and casting away every other thought
oa that aav, repent oi our sius, and make resolve
forever thereafter to do nil mat lar in our power to

fo'ty-secoud cuapter or Isaiah, "A bruised reed

show irom the text the goodness of God .
toward sinners In whom there waa still
ielt some ianh and hope in iiim and whose
hearts were not utterly steeled to every
thing good and pure, lite prophet says that Cod
will nat break the bruised reed, and here is an
assurance that the most lowly soul may still nave
courage to look up to ncaven for consolation and
he.p. Tue shepherds of old were in the
t k ut of carrying a reed, from which
emitted a tunerui sound; but when the
reed was U'okeu it lost us music for the ear.

MB. liEKCUKB ON CONOKEOATIDNALIHM, TUB
LKAVKN OF CHHISTLAN LIBERTY.
Mr. Beectier presetted an Interesting ser
mon to a very large congregation yes
terday morning. Bo chose hia topic
irom II. Timothy, 11.. 19?"Nevertheless the
foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal,
the Lord knoweta them that are his. And let
every one that nameth the name of Christ depart
from iniquity." He aatdIt la the nature of truth,
as it is developed by human impressions, to
gather about it instruments and institutes*
Whenever men come into possession of a truth
they very aoon have attached to them some
dogma, some institution or visible manifestation
of the truth. Alter a time men begin to lose sight
of the truth and to worship its expression
or nunilestaiiou. Thus arioea conventional
ism, conservatism and the beginning of
new theories, so, churches And In tbem
| selves the elements of disintegration. First
comes conventionalism and conservatism, then
revolution und disturbance, and flnaliy comes
sectarianism. Sectarianism la not the result of
? liberty, but of attempts at repression. If a
church says to every one of its mem
bers who has a new view, or thinks ho
! has, "Go out," it ejects from It the com
ponent* of n sect or of sects. When tne body is
we&lt it breaks out Into boils, so When tne Church
is weak, It is likely to break up Into sects. Mr.
Beecber said, after mentioning tne ways of doubt,
and tho theological matters which arc denied
by mauy people that out ot the fact.of theso dis
beliefs grows the tdcaafloctiiig tho minus of mauy
other people that religion is decaying. W ny, he
asserted, you might cut away religion, you misfit
DESTROY TUB BIB1.K,
yet religion would not oe destroyed. The fnndtu
mental truths upon which it rests must remain.
You inixht overthrow the governments of the
world, yci government would remain. If yoa cut
grass, ana do not pnll up its roots, It will spring
up again. All fundamental truths, tboug.i
they be cut away at the to;i, will stili live. What
ever changes couic in Athens, whatever changes
come in Home, the fundamental truths of
Cod stand sure. Tuey represent God,
ever present, and the movement of good
men toward perfection. And, said Mr.
Beecher, alter speaking of the contests
i which are maintained by scientific men ugalnst
the Christian iiutli, when the science of mind
! cornea to be studied and understood, the exterior
; iacta of religion will be proven true. Jn the
course ol investigation the fundamental truths
well not be touched. The preacher now spoke for
several minutes defining the natnre or fnnuamen
i tai facts, ami remarked tnat If scientific men
were to undertake to construct a laitn they
w i'ii id have to recognize the ftaudamental
trains which have always been the bases of reilx
i ion. Nciince may rake down the steeple, but
when you come to the question, what will you
teach now. science will adopt the elements or
present religion. Science may not teacn me the 1
irinity, but it will certainly teach me Cod. Those
things which are essential to the building up or
men, to the raialog ol men to Jesus Christ, cannot j
' be killed.
YOTJ CANNOT DO WITHOUT RRLIOTOIT.
The State calls for It; art calls for it; and tbe i
idea tbat education Is opposed to it is absurd.
Mr. Beeceer w. n' on to show that liberty is < on
lerreu by education, which wonlu result iu evoking
tue grandest expression*Of faith in Cod.
l lie preacher then reterred to the propriety of be
lievers in all tne Christian churcnes pi. clng them
selves upon tbe platioriu of opposition to intldel
lty, throwing aside their differences ol beliefs in
reference to the conventionalisms or insti
tutions attaching to tne luTirnmentrU
truth of faith to God an I Christ. He said
during these remarks:?My venerable brother,
fiat 1 a. and I, why are we opposed to each
other* He dees not fear tne and I do not
icar aim. !*o we are equal. Now, that so
much lufldeUty is coming into the world,
wnv saould not all Cnristiau mm stand

la, elements ol truth, lie deprec.'ted, however,
the surrendering by the t'oiik'regatior al cuurcnes
of any of the privileges which all now
Dojwess to sny governing body. He desired
that it shai; be loosed to that Congregational am
does not become sectarianism, lie condemned
the making of a priesthood?-.nat aristocracy of
tue period?in tbe Churcn, and the violation of j
toat seuae ?inch dicut" ! the church form to tho ,
Puritan lathers. He said that it i.u>i pieased God <
to give him bis birth at a tune when our country
waa suoggliug mr its rights against Great |
Britain, and that thus no imbibed tho
oeslro for liberty :r<'in his mother and

Into requisition to accommodate persons who de

ihere was a considerable number of Friends from
distant places who would not fall to be in attend

composed of people who do not belong to the so

the exercises that took place. There was a
very lull display or fine toilets among the
younger portion of ihe ladies, and the
sombre garb of the elder ones caused rattier a
picturesque contrast. The warm weather was
rather severe on many in the meeting home, and
there was, to relieve the oppressive effects of the

Mli. WIIITR'S COMMUNICATION.
I The sei vices opened yesterday lorenoon by an
; invocation uy Allen K. Fit c rait, or Huladeii liia,
; in which tie returned thanks for the privilege of
worshipping (ion according to tne dictates ot tneir
{ conscience aud uuder their own vine and tig treo
; on such a beautiful, glorious babbatn morning.
He was followed by Joun J. White, of tne same
j cur. He commenced by remarking that it is tne
1 spirit that bears witness, because tne spirit is
trum which, witli water and blood?the three be
1 ing one?-erves to secure salvation. There was
; no place in the Scriptures where this passage
I cuuiu be louud belore the tenth century. Every
I Christian confesses that Cr rist is of God, and all
who iiold that Christ is not of Cod become of
; Antichrist, of whom all have neard. What is the
spirit ihai la essential to salvation t According
i lo the teaching of the Divine Muster, uuie&s we
! are baptized by water wo cannot see Cod. The
mother ?iiu mistress of cuurcnes is correct ia
laying down tne doctrine of the abso
| lute necessity of baptism as a means of
I bringing us innocent to the Judgment
j Seat. We mast come down from our ioliy
heigi.ts ol pride and give up all preconceived views
! and become like children, looking up aud trusting
| in Cod, oeiore we can enter trio kingdom of heaven.
I Going back to the old law we liad lads and
! figures, and when they ure applied as intended
j the truth of tnis will be nearly seen, ihere Is no
liie In us tfni. ss we believe in the Saviour. We
must believe He Is the sou of Co a. A day is ap
pointed to judge all mankind. Wnat is that day?
Now is tne accepted nine. We can only promise
for the passing day. Cei ns, then, avail ourselves
ol the preseut occasion, abandon sin aud load a
life ol purity and uprightness. Mr. White, during
bis "communication," dwelt lorcioly and at some
length upon the necessity of baptism, and con
ctuded by commending his hearers to do tne will
of the Lord Jesus Christ, and tneu, by being laith
lui in ui. things, we will be acceptable to lliin.
Mrs. Kachaei c. Rogers next addressed the
meeting. 1 know that my Redeemer ? livetti,
she said, thr ugti the influence of the Holy Spirit,.
He can open tlieeyes of the blind, give Bearing to
tne deaf, cause the iame to walk and loosen the
tongue ol tne dumb to utter ills praises. Mrs.
Rogers referred to the scctarlaulsm and bigotry
that obtained In win" quarters as contrary to the
i merciful spirit of ihe creator. Man lias no power
'out a delegated one; walch he should not abuse.
I There is room In the heart of the most worldly
! man, even of the man po-sesslng a mind stored
' wltn almost unlimited knowledge, for an abiding
| love ol Cod. We should take his yoke on as. It
would urmg us peace aud fluaily au eternal re
I ward.
| Mrs. Rlloda Lamb, of Mount Holly, !K. J., lol
' lowed, she said we should walk by the ligln that
is shed uuon us from heaven. How important this
blessed time is to pu. on Jesus Christ to strengthen
and blud us in holy faith! Unless we know illin
wnom tne Divine Siaster seut ^e go astray. This
Is the way, walk ye in it. Mrs. Lamb said she fe.t
a deep Interest m the youug people now in the
morning oi their existence, as well us tii se in the
evening of their existence, going down toe va:e of
lile. Let them ail truai and obey Cod and they
never will be couiounded. With their own bunds
let tncm labor with the implements given tbeui,
always keeping In view their duty to the Creator.
Cod is love, lie will strengthen us. Every eye
will see and every ear understand the good word
spoken, lie will lift them up and place tneir ltei
on a rock, an immovable rock.

[From the Chicago Tribune, May.21?Bdl'orjal.J
We refer to this case with no purpose of grlev
lnir the Irlends of tbe lady or of pandering to
cariosity, but sluiply to explain that la all tl??
painful proceedings Mrs. Lincoln has been treated
In the kindest and gentlest manner by bar otto
personal friends, and tbat from the beginning to
the end slie maintained ber dignity and character
as a lady. For several years after the assassina
tion of ber husband Mrs. Lincoln ?si pursued by
a mental plctnre of the oreadlul scene, fche
could not shake it otT. She coarted solitude, de
nied herself to all visitors and friends, and be
came* victim to hysteria, accompanied by various
uppreuensious, of which desutu'lon. poverty and
anaoiate want were tue more violent. A genu*.
11.an of this city, one of the warmest personal
lriends or ber husband, succeeded in obtaining
an interview and then tree access to ber at all
tim?:s. During a period of moro than a year,
duriug winch he visited ner mainly ai h r special
requi-st, she never lailed to begin the Interview
vs it u a minute detail of the events of that fata.;
Friday on wmoh her husband was murdered. Thia
same story was repeated at every interview, and
almost in the exact words each time. It bad
engrossed her mind to the exclusion of all
oiuer things past and present, except the
gioumy apprehension that she was reduced to
> waut, At last ne j>r posed that she should teavo
I the hotel and buy a house, furnish it, and receive
iriend*. and nave some t are* to divert her mind,
hue at last consent' <1, and be J'ates that during
the few mouths In wmch tbe house was purchased
and she was engaged iu lurnisulng it, and thus
na?i active emplo)ment. she was comparatively
happy, and uad shaken off the terror aud wretch
edness wnteh had pievtousty afflicted ner. But
wnen tius business was completed, wiien ther?
was nothing more to be aone. her homo
a*ain became a ort ol prison, and she re
lap ed into all the old glooin, despondency,
ami terror. Acting under tnese combined influ
ences, she did many things winch were snrpris*
liig.il not painiui, to her frie.ida. Mil i had an
aversion for companionship aud actj'iaintani e;
she oojt'd ail mraimoi social approacn ; sha lived

enduring the ever present Horror of the one tern

suddenly change her residence; out wherever sti?
went the reii-i was temporary, tue relapse inevit

C1TT 8 CllM ITS A tXJLM TO IHJt I*EM NSILVaNLA
RAILROAD COMPANY.
At the latest meeting of the Roard or Aldermen
ol Jersey City a committee was appointed to con
fer with a committee irom tbe Board of Public
woi ks and a committee irona 'he Board of Finance,
In order that a plan might be agreed upon whereby
j the railroad casualties, now so ireqaent in the
city, migbt be averted. Alderman Van Cleef, on
behalf of tbe Common Council, consulted with
prominent engineers, and a plan was drawn up
lor the elevation of the track. Ibis plan,
after having been fully discussed, wilt be
submitted to the Pennsylvania Kaliroad Company,
j it is proposed to cle>ato the track, commencing at
WasuiugtoQ street uu i ending at Varies street?a
distance of six blocks, measuring 8,'JOO feet. The
beignt or the track front nigh water at tae starting
point or the grade is i.ve leet, and at Varlck street
the end of tbe grade, ttie hclgnt proposed wi.i oe
thirty teet. The gr.ioe from Washington to Grove
? tieet will be fifty- wo and s baif feet to the mite,
and irom Grove toVarick tne grade will be twenty
eight ieet to the mile. Tne proposed grade irotn
dove to Varick street will oe no greater ti an
that existing at present; so tuat according to the
i engineer's plan tne distance i?r extra labor, or, m
i otner words, the additional wear and tear In
! voived will only extend 1,700 leet. The lowest
estimate lor toe proposed work is $?..0,000 and
1 tne highest fl.OM.OiM. The adjustment of
the proportion oi the expense to bs borne
bv the city and the railroad company,
respectively, will be th? main object oi tne con
ference. The bints thus far thrown out are tuat
the railroad company are wi.imgto bear hail too
expense, as in tne case of the sinking of tbe traeg
on Fourth avenue, Sew York, borne change must
be made, as public opinion is so aroused in conse
quence ol the large number of casualties recently
that tne Grand Jury will bi called upon to inter
pose, and the Coroner win have to take the aotion
ol bW predecessor, eiitht years ago, when tne
superintendent or the New Jereey Kaliroad, Mr.
Jackson, was arrested and held lor tbe action of
tne Grand Jury on tbe recommendation of tna
