SYNAGOGUE WORSHIP. CONGREGATION DABEC1I AMU NO?ANCIENT AND - MODEBN PHABAOHS COMPARED BY DB. UKNDES. Jewish congregational polity does not compel tho closing of synagogues and places of worship if there be no rabbi or minister to instruct the people. Tbo Jewish theory Is that they are all a nauon of priests, and any member of the congregation has a right to rcaa and exnound the law to his brelhron. This right, how ever, Is exercised only by afow laymen whoso ability In this line is recognized by their brelhron. It is never done nor recognized promiscuously In fact, whatever tho theory may be. There arc in New York and in many other cities also Jewish congregations who bavo for years been debarred the services of regular ministers and among whom Ibis kind of lay ministry has been acknowledged and performed. Out of the twenty-six synagogues in New York only seven have rabbies or ministers. The regular services aro coi.uuaed by chasans, who may bo members of tbe congregation, who volunteer for these occasions, or may be engaged on salary for a specific term. It will be soon, therefore, that many of the synagogues have no loctures or preaching services at all, or If at all, at very long distances in time. Since the coming ol Dr. Mendog (Forty-fourth street synagogue) among us he has tried in a measure to supply this lack of service by preaching occasionally for other congregations besides his own. Yesterday he lectured for the Congregation liarech Ainuno, worshipping in a hall in Sixth avenue, tu-ur Greenwich avenue, and gave them an interesting talk on ancient and modern I'haraobs, basing his remarks on Moses' demand on the Egyptian King for the release of the people of Israel and the laller's command that the prophet should see his luce 110 more. Aud during all this strugglo between increasing power on the one band and repeated demands on the other the people ol Israel were oppressed more and more. While the materials were taken from them more work was required of them. Increase ol labor, but D8CKKASK OF TllK MBA.NS OF LABOR, , was the only answer to the demand of Moses No wonder, then, that the people would not hearken to Moses for anguish of spirit and for cruel bondage (Kxodus, vi., 9). These things, said the Doctor, furnish the best ovideuces of the authenticity ana Inspiration ol the Bible. It presents men as they arc, and does not inako angels of them, as the false semblance of truth does. The Doctor then called attention to some of the modern Pharaohs and oppressors, that the congregation might learn lessons from them as their lathers did from the ancient Pharaoh. The lirst one that he introduced was the Pharaoh of money. When Moses told Pharaoh that Adouai, lhe Cod of Israel, bail sent him to demand the release ol tbo people, the Midrusbim says Pharaoh looked over his list of gods of Egypt and ol other nations, hut lound no such god on his list. Then it was that ho turned to Moses aud asked, ''Who is. the Lord, that I should obey his voieo to let Israel go? I know not the Lord, neither will I let Israul go." (Ex., v.. 2.) "What cities has your God taken in buttle? What Las he done?" And according to the same tradition Moses answered Pharaoh in the words of the psalm, "Before the mountains were ttmnoht inrLli or over the earth and the world wero formed, even Irom eternity lo eternity, has Israel'* God existed, lie 11 la who has made Egypt uud its great river. His voice is heard in the storm and in the feeble cry of the new born infant." I'haraoh airain answered that be himself and his god had made E-ivpt and the Mile, and tbcrolorc he knew that Moses was not speaking the truth. We have whole dynabtles of such kings among us to day?l'haraohs of money, who. when the ministers of religion go to them and tell them that the Lord God of Israel is He who gives thom llle and health and all things turn around and liko their prototyi>e of old declare that they are the authors of these things themselves. They live by themselves in a particular society and in unapproachable seclusion. When a festival comes and they are Invited to go to the house ol God to serve Him they look over their list and don't QnJhls name there?they expunged it long ago, and they excuse themselves from going because Tiimr pov't k.vow rni lord, who has given them rank and position and wealth and fortuue. Then we have the Pharaohs of mind, of scicuco, who pretend they kuow all about llio constitution of tjie ylancis and iho relations of mind (p matter and man. These are all plain to tfie kings of science. Tbclr creed is perpetually changing. What was true yesterday is false to-day, and what Is (aUe to day will be true to-morrow?unstable as water, excelling novcr. Judaism comes within the reach of those monarchs, and they can't understand It; and with ull the dignity ot a science live years old they ask, How long will we how down belore a God whom we cannot see, nor measure by s rule of Inches and feet? Who is the Lord, say they, that yon should serve Him? We And iu science no occasion for any such lteing. It matters not to those Pharaoh- that Judaism answers that Ho existed before they or their science were known or thought of. But behold how puny, while boasting of strength, they all are I When aflliction and death coine to their homes they cry. as did Pharaoh, I have sinned; entreat the Lord for me. And whon the minsters of religion do that they harden their hearts again and tell us to get from their presence and see their faces no more. And the synagogue sees them no more, nor does the minister of religion uutll they fall into llio dark abyss of death, when they are glad enough to send for them. But until these high and mighty lyrants are hurled to their doom it Is not surprising that we who must bow to their tyrunny shou'd lose heart under their grinding labor. And wnen the ministers of religion come to us to tell us that there is a God wc rnluse to hear, from anguish of spirit and cruel bondnge. But courage, then, lor release must come. You are not a tithe so badly oppressed, said the Doctor as were the Israelites in Egypt. You can cat the (ruit of your hands. We can't all be monarchs; but wo can all lie happy. Who is wealthy, ask the rabbi**, but he who rejoices in his heart? Let us that t mit mntit ma* in? tho crown und throne ot .1 1 iaisra. A NEW* EVANGELIST. Mr. W. T.

Is there no remedy for the infamous crowding of tho city pest housesf Who smothered the bill introduced In the last "Legislature to provide scats for all passengers in our city railroad cars f It is a burning shame that a single day should pass without the most extreme punishment of the railroad presidents who own and manage the city roads. A bill should be Introduced st Albany?and passed unanimously?compelling all railroad companies to rail oIT the cars and furnish every passenger with a comtortable scat. What sensible objection can there be to such a law f Purely none* but the one offered by the companies themselves "that it would not pay," and when this point is raised by the car owners they should be answered by referring to the hundreds of thousands of dollars filched Irom the people?five-sixths of a cent from each passenger?while the war tax-lasted, the repeal of which tax alone prevented the continuance of this outrageous swindle to the present day. If tho present Legislature has any care to strengthen the party in tins city nothing they could do would help them more than the passage of some effective measure to put tho city railroads under subjection?and keep them there.

A motion to this effect waa made yesterday bi fore Judge Donohue, of the Supreme Court, the mo< ing parties being an executive committee appointed i a meeting of the depositors. It was urgod for tli motion that Mr. Aldrlcb has been grossly negligent I conducting the affairs of the bank; that he Is an ii competent officer; that he refused to allow an expei to examine the books for no other reason, a^ts allegec than to protect the officers and trustees of the instill tton; that be examined, In 1873, several banks, am among others, the Third Avenue Savings Bank, all i which have failed; tb\t bis report of the condition ( the last named Institution was incorrect in many pai titulars, and thai ho is, in fact, unfit to hold the pos lion.

Ho dcniCB that he was appointed at th Instance of the trustees, but says he knows his appoin meni met the approval of the Uauk Department.

On this new trii Hid Judge ruled that to convict the intent to defrau by circulating the money must bo known, but left i to tbe jury to determine from all tbo lucts whethe Mank had ever such intent from tbo time he came i possession ol such money until he gave it to l'ortei Judge Dlttenhoefer, in un elaborate argument loskin several hours, contended, first, that on ine evidence I i was not known that Mank ever had tho money, and second, If the jury believed he had, that no intent o the part of Mank to circulate it was known.
