THE FARWELL HALL SERVICE.
AIT OPPORTUNITY FOR A REVIVAL.
Farwoll Halt was thronged last evening by a
yoat audience called out by tbo announcement
that Mr. John V. Farwell would speak on the
great revival work of Messrs. Moody and Bankcy
iu England. A groat number, perhaps tbo
greater number of those present, came also to
participate iu tbo inauguration of
A GREAT REVIVAL
in Chicago, which, It had come to be understood,
was the main object of tbo mooting. A more
glance at the crowded auditorium and gal*
lory sufficed to disclose that all the material and
of tho beat sort too, was there assembled for such
wotk. There was about tho audience neither
that air of formal propriety which characterizes
tho ordinary mooting lo tho city churches, nor
yet any manifestation of extraordinary deep re*
ligtons terror, such as marks lbs revival iu full
progress, but a spirit of
ACTIVE, EAUNEST EXPECTANCY
was manifest in a thousand faces, tbe expres
sion of which told that people bad come there
ready to embark in the good work with a spirit
of profound earnestness. Tho opening,
too, was of such sort as iudi
catcd that all formality was to be dispensed
with for tho purpose of getting at the main
work with all dispatch. There waa hardly any
thing approaching to tbo regular formal church
service about it. Mr. Bliss led the oiuglng. Ho
waa accompanied by a choir of about a dozen
ladies and gentlemen, seated ou tho stage ; and
with his splendid presence, bis flue, powerful
oven voice, tbo dlstiuctness with which, without
mairiugtho melody, ho ormociatod tho words
aud the deep fooling with which bo saug,
TUB EFFECT WAS ALMOST ELECTRICAL.
The first verse of tbo first hymu woe :
What means this eager, anxious inroog,
Which moves with busy hute slougY
Tbeao wondrous gatherings, day by day,
Wbat moans tills atruigu commotion, say t
In accents bushed the tnroog reply,
Joans of Nuurelb pasaeth by.
Tbo words wore set to an air pulsating with
eager questioning melody and glad reply, aud
were sung with such spirit and olfoct that soon
the entire audienoo Joined with little loss spirit
than tbo leader himself.
Id like maimer Mr. Bins afterwords sung the
hymn, •• What hast Thou done for me?" begin
ning:
I gave my life for thee.
My j.rodoujt blood 1 abed,
Tlut (bon might ransomed be,
And quickened from the dead.
And during the singing of this, lu which the
audience generally joined, a deep religious feel
ing was manifest tuiougbout the vast assemblage,
it was followed by the hvmu •’ Hallelujah,
from tbo same collection,—in tbo midst o( t wbich
Mr. Bliss exhorted the congregation to Join iu the
chotua. ‘‘Join in the Hallelujah," be said,
“ whether you know the tune or not; if you be
lieve, sing." The effect was almost magical, and
the chorus was redoubled in volume and in
spirit.
Another hymn followed, and then an earnest
prayer by Mr. Burnell, aud ao expectant
hush fell upon the. ball. Had it been the design
to Inaugurate a revival in this city, there could
have scarcely been a more favorable moment for
it lhau With that vast assemblage eager to join
in the work. But the object of the meeting had
been misconceived, peibaps because of tbo dis
play of great type on the band-hilla or the
names of •• Moody aodSausey " aud “Groat Re
vival," perliai* because of the announcement of
Mr. Wolherly (of the London Committee of
Fifty, under whose auspices the worn of those
gentlemen had boon conducted m that city) as
one of the speakers or perhaps of general in
compreheosinlo misapprehension of what was
intended.
Mr. Farwetl evidently felt the embarrassment
of bia position, bat proceeded dueetly to a spir
ited, graphic sketch of tbo wurg of Messrs,
Moody sud tiaukoy iu Cheat Britain, which is
given below aud will be fouud well worth read
mit. He spoke with admirable ease aud grace,
and his delivery was so natural and his earnest
ness such that those who had come to partici
pate in the inauguration of a great revival here
lemamed to listen, aud were well rowatded for
■o uuiug.
TUX INTRODUCTORY SERVICES.
A few mmutoe beloro 6 o'clock the door lead*
log fioto tbs stago iuto ibe' ante-toom opened,
ana ibe burly form of Mr. P. P. Bliss was seen
to enter, ile walked rapidly to tbo front of toe
■tans, and, ad or easing the audience, requested
tuat tbose

would crowd up to the front seats, or else come
upon the plausrm and assist ibe choir, tie
men as rapidly withdiow. A few moments
afterwards ne reappeated, followed by a tram of
lames and gentlemen, among whom was tbo
speaKsrof the eveuioK, Mr. J. V. Farwell. One
of the ladies sat down before me organ, while
ibe rest 01 the company, Mr. Farwell included,
ranged themselves in line lacing the audience.
Mr. lilies announced tuat the song •• Jesus of
Nazareth paseoth by " would be sung. He also
informed the audience that it would be found
on page i of the song-books which were dintrib*
uted around tbe ball, and no would like to have
KVtnVBOOt JOIN IN.
Ur. Bliu himself bUrted tbe tuue, and his po*r
enul tones, beard Ur above tbe thousand voices,
served to maintain au unusual degree of uulou.
The song being concluded. Mr. Farwell
stepped forward end remarked mat. before me
exercises began, tbe stewards would take up a
collection to defray tbe necessaiy ezpeaeee of
tbe ball, lie announced tbe eoug, ou tbe tftd
£age of tbe ainging-book, ** Wuat Hast Xbou

Auer tbe singing of thla piece Mr. Farwell
made a brief prajer, asking for tae Divine bless*
iug upon tbemeetaDg.
Mr. Bliss ibea gare out tbe song, '• Halle*

eoug alone, tbe choir and audience Joining in tbe
cbotus. At tbe does ol tbe first stanza be re*
quested tbe andience to

and swell me chorus lo proper dimeaelone. Tbe
bint was well taken, and (hereafter tbe song
was delivered with a vigor that could not
but satisfy the most enthusiastic revival*
tat. Beiore tbe last stanza. Mr. Bliss
again '’spoke out in meeting, M *>i| n g every
body to sing both tbe eUosa and cnorue* In re
sponse to ibe request, there was poured forth a
volume of song that was almost dsaieaing and
not entirely baimouioos. '
Mr. Farweli (ben arose end read tbe Dial
Psalm and a poi Una of the Fuel Epistle of p*.
ter. He cloaed by taking tbtt the people would
rise end unite in Binging " The Old, Old Htory,"
on page 40.
TITE ADDRESS.
The song being ended, Mr. Ptrwell took ont
hie wßtch. detaching the chain from the button,
hole of hie yeat, and deposited il upon the pul*
nit.
He said he came before them nnder rather em>
batransmg circumstances. Two of the Commit
lee under whom Brother Moody Lon*
don had been advertised to be present, bnt at
the last moment Saturday bo hod received a let*
lor stating that they would not be in Chicago
until tuo middle of the present week, but would
etay over Sunday for a meeting if desired. Ho.
while they might he looms that evening, they
would havo
THE PLEASURE Of ARTICIPATINO
the hearing of these brothers next Sunday night.
Ho hoped that they would all try to spread the
information, so that tho hall might bo
filled to greet their brethren from the
other side. They bad been very
earnest supporters of Brother Moody io his
work in London, and he would leave them the
most of that work to speak about. When bo
raw from tho notice what was expected from him
this evening, he thought (ho mau who wrote it
must havo been in America. On tho other side
of tho water he found, as a rule, that they gen*
orally etatod things ae they expected them to
tako placo. The uowapapem and public upwak
eie were very careful not to overstate what was
(o bo said and done at anv public meeting. Now,
tho notice fur this roosting Bitted that
TUET WERE TO DIVE PLLI. REPORTS
.mu. ........ ... u..u rtuu itr.nmio
of Brother Moody’s meetings in England. For
two veais Messrs. Moody and Haiittov had boon at
wort there, holding three meetings ov»ry dav,
and to expect a lull report compressed into an
hour or an hour and a half was expecting a llltlo
too much. However, in thin country we wont at
an accelerated speed, and did moro in tbo same
length of time than they did on the other aide ;
hut still it was ImpohHiblo to do what was ex
pected of thorn on this occasion. Ho oresamod
(hero was a great many in tho audience who
were partially tgnorantof whoßrotbcr Moody was
and what ins preparation was for tins great
work on the other mdo before ho loft ae. It
might bo interesting to give
A FEW FACTS IN HIS RECORD
before going across the boa to loam what he bad
beou doing tbcro undor God. It waa known to
some of tbom that Brother Moody catno to thie
city a young man, Ilka a great many other young
men who bend tlioir steps toward Ibo Woaioru
metropolis. to seek bis fortune. i(o was an
oarncat Christian young man, and no had the
evidence of this In tbo fact that tho very Dot
thing ho didaftcrsettlog foot In Chicago was to
iiud a place where bo could do something aa a
worker iu tha Lord’s vineyard.
at that time was limited, but his energies were
groat, aud ho used them successfully in the
hoivestof tho Loid Jesus Christ. Ho began in
tho streets aud alloys ;<lown upon Vau Duron
stroot. Ho gathered in tho boys and girls of
tho poorest people of that locality into a mission
Sunday-school bt-longlug to tbo 'First Methodist
C'burcu, of which he (.Mr. F.) was a member.
That was the wav Moody began. When be saw
the great destitution ou the North bide, it oc
curred to him that he might establish
A SCHOOL OF HIS OWN
and have charge of it in that part of the city.
Ho osKed tho advice of the ministers of tlie
North Side as to wbat he had better do m that
regard. They told him that he had bettor do
something else; that tbo Lord hod not called
bim to any such work, and if He had ho bad
better prosecute it in his own church before
starting out for himself. After thinning tbo
matter over seriously, and asking the Great
Teacher Himself what He wim'd have him do, ho
made no his mind, in tbo tooth of that advice, to
establish a Sumlav-school oaths north side of
the river. Thov all knew how that had prosper
ed. That Sunday-school was 10-dar bv proxy
doing more work tor Christ, perhaps, thou any
other organization m tho city. Bat
from Chicago with such a groat Held of useful
ness open to him ? That question was asked
him U once a hundred limes, aud in answer to a
ftioud ho eaiJ, '*l am going to England for
10,000 souls," and spoke it wuh an
earnestness, a look in his face,
that demonstrated that ho mount
what he slated. Ho did not expect to stay but
a few months when lie wont over there, which
was loug enough for tho olHcors of his church
to build up tho walls which had been burned
dowu. But God had opened a wider field on the
other side of tho water than was over opened to
him hero, aud instead of staying three mouths
ho had staved twenty-seven mouths. It would
be well, perhaps, to give some of the circum
stances which led to his steps being Lent to
wards England. Tue stops of a good man are
ordered by tho Lord, and if ever a man was
thoroughly
led nr tub divine spirit
that mao woe Brother Moody, it was thought
that ho would have been a hi tie egotistical anil
proud, owing to bis succors iu Chicago, but las
orayer bofoie going was to be kept humble, and
that was the tirat qualification, the foundation
alone,’ of a ChnaUau teacher, after bo bad been
regenerated and made acquaimcd with the Word
of God. How well tula prayer was answered
may bo attested by wbat might be said bore*
after m regard to bia work in
England. Tbo circumstances to which ho
(Mr. IM referred as iuadlug Moody to
England weie these: lie wont there tirel seek
ing health for bis family, and while there he
became acqusimod with sumo enthusiastic
brethren.—men a good deal like Bt, I'anl when
it wan said of him, "Much learning oath made
tbee mad," which, however, could nut be said of
Brother Moody. Well, be fouud some men
really well-learued in the Bible, and became at
tached to them. He brought one or two of
them homo with him to aid bim in the work
heio. The trip he made to England was to get
A DEEIEBINBIOIIT
through those brotmen into the Word of Ood
aud the manner of presenting it; and the third
trip, his object was ao tu present it as to gain
(roubles in the crown of bis Redeemer of 10.000
souls. Two of the brethren mentioned invited
him to England tbo third time to labor as an
evangelist. Laving seen the spirit of tuo man
and Ins modes 01 work aud of speech to be such
that bo would bo likely to attract. He landed m
Liverpool and fouud those brethren laid away
iu tue grave. Entirely ignorant of that
fact when he left New York, it somewhat stag
gered him, but, thinking the matter over aud
praying over it, himself and companion conclud
ed to commence woik in a few minor places, ana
if successful to continue laboring fur tua Lord
iu England. The two dead brethren were to
have paved the way for them. A mao bad to be
well introduced in England before he could get
beioro the people as a teacher. Thev had adeal
o( head knowledge over there if it could oul/ be
brought out, and one of the reasons of Moodv
and tiaokey’s subsequent success was that they
had set bra to and
EXPLODED THE POWDER
which bad bseu accumulating inure for many
years, and we atw tue result. Tbs first half
dozen places (hoy tried they bad no success; in
fact, there was opposition to their teacning. Fi
nally, Moody said to hankey, “We have not mat
with the success anticipated. We wiU go to
Newcastle-ou-Tyue, and if we there fail to unite
tbo ministers aud brethren to such a degree as
to tnanre success, we will consider we have
mistaken the call of Ood, and that
we ere not needed on tills side of
ths water, and go home." Tuey went to
Newcastle, and succeeded in uniting the minis
ters there, except the iTosbytonans and Wes
leyaus—the very lasi it wsa supposed would op
pose a revival of that kind ; but where people
got large churches aud dueut speakers, it was
hard wurk for them to let iu any poor, unedu
cated laymen to preach In tneir pulpit*. The
Weeleyaos passed a resolution that they would
not adimt Moodv and tiankey into their chapels,
which were the largest in the city. But them
was union among tue mourners ol other denom
inations, and they went forward, and the result
was that
OTEa 8,000 WERE CONTESTED
***** nut*** IrUCIftUlbV
lo Newcastle alone. Ur. Fat well boro read an
extract from an English paper, showing the ob
stacles Moody and ttaoney encountered st tbe
Loginning of tbelr evangel cal labors, to show
that there was great opposition to God's work in
Koglsud as wail as in America. It reminded
him of a remark brother Moody used to make
when a revival was about to take place
iu Chicago, bald be, •• You may be euro
if there is to be a great work of God, tbe devil
will come around with all tbe implements be nts
to beset everybody and everything connected
with it { and when we see this it is evidence that
tbe God of Lraal it going to unite bis forces
snd have s victory, for toe devil never sets him*
self at work until be sees that be has been
routed." It was vsry singular to tbe human
reason (bat Qod should use such men as Moody
and tiankey in England and Scotland. That
was one of tbe (binge watch bad
stunned the best intellects on the other, as well

as this, side of the ocean. Why. you could not
go Into an evangelical church in England but
what a largo majority hid their Bibles in their
bands to see whether tho minister preached cor
rect Gospel or not. Thor did not pin their faith
on the pilerts to lead them through, but were
determined to know and understand for them
selvo-*, so far as human intellect could lake in,
tho truths of the Word of God. Then, why wore

and without introduction by prominent meo,
successful t Comd wo account for it on anv
other hypothesis than that the Ood of Israel
honored Ilia own word and commands now Just
as in the days of the first preachers of the
Gospel, as well as away back in the eatly history
of the Church when out in tho wilderness led
by Moses? That was tho only solution to the
question, and wo roust accent that solution un
less there was any other. Thus all difficulties
would piss out of view, and wo camo to
the only rational understanding of tho great
fact which now stood out la history. England
to-day was the centre of this world, commer
cially: it was the centre of this world intellectu
ally, and, we might say, the centre of this world
in a religious sense, because they cortaiolv havo
tbo greatest minds and the greatest authors m
England that there are In existence. And when
we looked back s few hundred yearn and saw m.
habited IGOO castles that are, except two, m ruins,
wo must acknowledge this. We muni rernombe r
that when tbo heathen Prince aeked tlm
(Juoen the secret of the power of that
great conntrv, the answer was bv
laying hor hand on tho Bible and saying, “This
Is tbo secret of England's greatness." [Ap
plause.) Then wo have the solution of how
those I,COO castles, built to protect men's lives
flora the fury of tbo mao who lived in tbo castle
over the bill, havo succumbed to tbe march of
tbo wondrous truth of God's word, which has
boon hold up in England by the martyr's blood.
Tho word of God had to bo indorsed bv the blood
of men In England before it became sufficient
bold to drive awav those castles to mike placo
for hospitals and churches. England to-day
was
TUB CENTRE Of INTEREST
of the world. He hoped America would be the
centre one of those days 5 wo bid are* enough
for it, and Chrisliaa intelligence enough to.lo u.
if wo put our knowledge of the sources of power
into oporaiion for that end and pur; oho. While
England lost her castles, and gained chmclies
and hospital*, we found also that it was Chnfl-
Han libofiy—tho pursuit and d-niroof u—tha;
peopled this land of ours; and the very war by
which no obtained our political liberties woo to
day a matter of congratulation on tbo other
aide as tbo means of bringing moto liberty to
them. Tbo lesson that would bo taught to fcn
irland, before thin revival wu through, would
bo that th A ecclesiastical liberties of too people
would bavo to lio enlarged.
THE fUfIS AT ETON
ehowod tho narrow prejudices which still existed
in Great Britain. In this comicetinti Sir. Far
well related tbo faciH connected with the Eton
incident, which have been fullv ventilated
m tho newspapers. This incident, bn con
tinued, ehowod it was a little danger
ona to preach tho Gospel among tho
scions of tho aristocracy, but it also
meant that tbo liberties of tbo people were to
bo extended in this direction, and that a'l the
churches are to have this Gospel preached in
them in its straplo purity by whomsoever tho hnr i
shall send, not only by tho men who bad tho bish
op’s band laid uuon them before they could open
their mouths. Tue result of Brutfier Moody's
mission bad far exceeded bis estimate of its re
sults. Not 10,(100, but ton times 10,00"
souls bad .been brought into tho light
by tbo teaching of those simple men.
Tho preacher thou rapidly sketched their visit tu
Edinburg, whoso indorsement, he remarked, was
all that was needed to gam them the attention
of every other place iu Groat Britain, ana also
related anecdotes connected with tbo revivals.
Their success was to bo attributed to their ad
herence to tho plain Scriptural doctrines, aud
their earnest otforts to siroail them abroad.
The word of God was very wo i in theory, but it
must bo taken bold of m practice heforo’porson
ai possession of its grace could bo obtained.
At tho conclusion of Mr. Farweh’s address,
prayer was offered by Maj. I). W. Whittle.
Mr. Farwell then rose to announce that there
would be bold
A SECOND MEETING
at the conclusion of this one. to which all wore
invited. Those who wished to dcpait. however,

OLD THINGS PASS'D AWAY.
SERMON nt THE RRT. P.'j. BURRELL.
The Bov. D. J. Burrell preached the following
sermon at Westminster Presbyterian Church
yesterday morning, taking foi bis text:
Therefore If any man bo in ChtUt, he is a new crea
ture ; old taings are lasted away ; heboid all things
are become new.—//, t'omg/.um, 17,
A mau ia always true to bis nature and his
bringing up. There ie ootbiig tnoio fixed and
inflexible than character, luthe foimativo pe
riod of life our souls lie open at a thousand
gates to every thought, and fat-cy, and argu
ment, but when once these varied impressions
are made up into that sum total which is called
character, tU rules of action, whether based on
right or prejudice, are inviolable than the laws
of tba Medea and Fenians, and its defenses are
higher and stronger than Gibratar. A man’s
will, in the bands of nurao andWuor, it pliant ss
a twig, but let it be sot in Its way ly exposure to
the suns and rude winds of experloice, and your
effort to tom him or train it then would be as
yam as to straighten the gnarled oik that grows
among the rocks of tha mountaln-ldo. Can tbo

man’s mind wbea once the years ba*o determined

But God's power U opt restrained by seeming
impossibilities. As the ,ttawgivor <f Nature, Ho
la able to go boyood Nature’# laws, aod worn
by rule# aod method# unkaovu to as;
He would oot be God if He did tot sometimes
startle us by Uie wonders of ilia superhuman

not aa our waya,"—-if He did mt aomeUmea

Qod'a grandest miracles are thoie which He
works in tbs province of the numai soul,—ibe
wonders of conversion and sauotifloition. It is
proper to apeak of them aa because
they cannot ;be accounted for by N'uuro’s laws.
The wind blowetb where it liatotbi thou bearcat
the sound thereof,—it wbiapers among the
leaves, ft fane your cheek,—bat ttuu cans* not
toll wbeueo it cometb, or wbitbar itgoeth; so is
every one that is born of the aplrii of God. It
is a higher exercise of Biviue power to lift up au
immortal soul out of darkoeee aoc the shadow
of death, to bring it out of Egypt, tbe bouao of
bondage, iuto Canaan, the Land of •promise,
thau u was to resolve tho order of tbe universe
out of cuaoa.

quered it is not by Divine power, but by Divine
grace, and id tbe act of conversion all of tbo
grander attributed of Ood aro madn manifest.
He a'one id able to break tbe stony heart and
fill it with holy desired end aspirations. I Logan
by saying that "character is of all things mod
fixed and unchangeable, tot Ood can turn and
overturn, and transform a sinful man into a now
creature.” With men this is impossible, but
with Him all things aio possible. It may be a
sudden change,—a Hash of light; or it may
como slowly through an agony of conviction,
l>ku that of Gotbsnmano, or m a
dawning of peace and love aa quiet
as tho sunrise 5 hut, whether wo are conscious
of it or not, chore in an instantof uh completion,
when "in a moment, iu tbe twinkling of an
ere.” old things ?>aas away, as in a transforma
tion scene, and all things become new.
Tbo iliHt result and evidence of Una moral re
creation id hatred of sin,—apiofouiulablioirmco
of "whatsoever deliletb or nuketn a ho.” Our
perceptions of right and wrong aro sharpened,
and conscience, which lay bo long like a dumb
firiaoner iu the soul, is now ” awakened.” The
aw which once wo (cured as it como to us
in the lightnings and tiunipnt-pcals of Hiuai,
Is become our friend, our schoolmaster, to
lead us unto (hnist. Even on wo como
fotth from tho bondage of the law wo learn
to iovo it and to halo what it forb.ds.
Our perception of its "moer Benue" is retinol
and quickened. Our consciences condemn, uot
only tbo overt act of uncioaiineas, but the tin
cloau glance: not roorelv tbe murderous blow,
lint tun quick retort; not slmnly the profane
Jest, hut the idle word. Thus (.hnst's "I sav
unto you” is become our interpreter of tho
moral law, ami iu ills Gospel no find our
exposition of tbe Di-calogue. Wo are sen
sitive now to the burden and tbo guilt of
sin; and from day to day our hearts send
up tbo cry, " Uovo mercy upon mo. oven accord
ing unto tbv loving kiaducss !” Our uuo great
four and abbot rouce is sin. Affliction we can
patieut.y culture; poveity, and distress, and trib
ulation, aro miiioroviie; tut sin is our bard task
master from whom no are evererotnin; to escape.
Its bold is upon ii" like tbu clutch of a corpse
about a shimmer's nock, and it wrings from our
lips tho cry, “Ob, wretched man that lam I
Who shall deliver mo from tho body of this
death i" It is common in these days of now de
partures iu leligious things for the w'orld's poopK
and particularly that class of the world's people
who call themselves " Liberal Christiana,” to

bowed down and brouen-bcaited under an over
whelming s a use of guilt, Tbo words. " 1 am a
mmeraolo sinner, a worm of tbo dust,” are
a •signed to tbo crude piety of loug ago, a pictv
wbicu, tbov hay, having served its day aud gen*
eratiuu, is now fallen 00 sleep. Thu nearest ap
proach to a miserere which can bo found in our
fashionable litanies is, 11 i am not so good as I
might ho, vet I might bo worse than lam.”
Hut tbo mystery of which Christ spake to Nico
dermis tots us iuto a deeper experience than that
of tho Scribes and Thai lanes. It creates within
ua a fco.iug that sin is worse than hell
aud muio to be shunned, that of all things it
is most foul and loathsome; and, bod
ing oumelves polluted bv it, we cannot but
kneel before Ood lu dost and ashes:
Borrlc I am, my Ood. sorriu I am I
My thoughts are ever working like a flams,
My words Uko hro from my tntUmed thoughts.
My bands do Joj n to tlnich their inventions;
And so my nine ascend three starlet high.
At Babel grew before there were dissuuUuns.
And thertfnre, to my ehntne.
Horrie 1 am, my Uod, torrle 1 am.
If your soul, my friend, has neror been stirred
to its depth- by a fooling like tins, vou lure
uovor passed through that experience wnich
makes of a man Dorn in sin and loving it a now
cieaturo in Christ Jeans j yet except a man bo
thus renewed bo cannot seo thu Kingdom of
God.
The second evidence of this great moral
change is complementary to the dm; a patient
striving after a holier and bettor life. In other
men this striving is spasmodic and intermittent;
but in tue people of Uod it is constant:
NtVr think tba victory won,
KeVr by thlao armor doa u!
All other hopes and longings must bend, like
the sheaves in Joseph’s dream, before this
“hunger and thirst alter righteousness." The
demands of common life on thought and effort
and ambition are n*t to bo ignored; wealth,
honor, learning, are all worth the having;
yet for above them ail, as heaven
above earth, is enthroned that
strange, far-off, glorious hope which
God awakens to tuo soul whru lie save. M Bo ye
holy as l am holy !" In the taco for the lower
goods of life I ruu.’yot nut as those who have no
butler raco to run. Thu one tiling I do: forget
ting (hose tbiugs which are behind, and reaching
forth unto those winch are before, 1 press to
ward the mark for the prize of the high-calling
of God In Christ Jesus I There are many voices
to which I listen, but Qcd’s words, Como up
higher," are loudest and sweetest of all, lie
calls us to sir.ve afters holy estate, which tu
this life we know to be unattainable. Perfection
Is like those waters whoso droppings are heard
afar off to the doaett, and whoso tantalizing re
flection in the clouds loads ou the travniois fur
ther and fuither, yet newer “coumiog himself
to have apprehended." Wo know that wo can
not attain unto It till wo bo clothed upon with
that white garment which awaits our coming at
the mamago supper of tbeLamh; and yet “ this
one thing wo do: wo press toward the mark."
The acquisition of a new grace, of “grace for
grace," is more delightful to our longing hearts
than tbo taking of a city, and God's “ Well dune,
good servant" makes us prouder than if we wore
ndiug through toe gates of Homo with
banners over ua and Kings at our chariot
wheols. We are alwavs thirsty; always
drinking, yet never saiiaiied. I sha fhe s&iietled
when, after the sleepof death, “ I awaku m Thy
likeness!" For when the long yoa*s of restless
hope sod striving are oyer we ehsil “ see iltra as
Ho is, and shall ba like Him," This is our high
est ambition : to bo not wise nor honored in the
world’s esteem ; to be not like Haul, not like
Apollos, nut like Copnaa, nor like any of the
world's groat; hut like Christ, the One altogeth
er lovelv, “Tins glorious hope revives our
courage by the way, ,r and it is this which brings
us out from the world and makes ua “ a peculiar
people." It drives us to our closets as to an ar
senal for strength according to our day. and
then out of ourclosots into the busy, struggling,
boneless life of men, to lift up Iboeo tual ate
fallen, ami to put tbo cup of God's cool water to
thirsty bps. Our l.fe is thus made up of piety
and philanthropy; and in this we lultill the tint
great commandment and that only Other which
“ia line unto it“ Thou shall lovu thy neigh
bor." With this full stature of manhood in view,
no Christian can long be idle or apatbeilo. He
must over Da employed in laying aside the
weights of sin or in running with patience the
race that is set before him ; hastening ou and
up,—Excelfltori As the hart pauteth after the
water-brooks, ao pauteth my soul after Thee, O
Uod! 1 suppose all meu have glimpses of this
bettor lite. and more or less longings alter
it. Emerson says: “There is always
some religion, some hope and fear ex
tending into the invisible.—from the blind
boding which nails a horseshoe to the mast, or
the threshold up to the songs of tbu Elders in
the A;*ocolyp»e." But the only true religion is
that which lifts these hopes and fears out of the
teuton of “ blind boding" and makes them rule
over the life, sad load the soul into the green
pasture* of couirauuion and fellowship with
God. It is not enough that we dream about pur
ity and theorize ou the beauty of holiness. Fur
itvand holincgpi must seem to us as needful as
light and air; the soul must pant, and grope,
and thirst, and hunger till it reaches them. Aui
this is one maik of that "newness of lite"
which is brought about in regeneration.
A third evidence of the new birth la that
“gift of gift*, the grace of faith." True religion
ia tbo axa;t opposite of materialism; it teaches
the soul to walk by faith and not by sight. The
natural heart ia never content who God’s “Ver
ily, verily, I say unto youit demands that
Ills word bo verified by proofa and arguments;
it aaya of every spiritual truth as Thomas did of
the resurrection, "Let me thrust my fingers Into
the wouuds sod I will believe." But tue new

CATUOUC INSUBORDINATION.
Louisville, Ky., Aug. 29.—Within the pact
week thoro has boeu cotsiderablo commotion
among tho Catholic clergy and laity of tho Dio
ce*o of Louisville, growing out of the re
moval and transfer by Bishop McClos
koy of certain well-known priests. Tho
most Irai ortant in Louisville, and that
which excited the livlicst interest, was tho remo
val of tho Bov. Father Bax. pastor of St. James’.
Louisville, aud his transfer to Bowling Green,
Kv., in nlaco of tlm Bov. Father Devries, who
was ordered to llardmsburg. iu this Stale.
Father Devries refu-ed to go, aud appealed to
Borao.which action, und other circumstances of a
rel 011-ons character connected with his removal,
caused Bishop McCloskey to depute tho Very
Bov. Father Bouchoi,V.c»r Gonoral.and tho Vcrv
Uev. Father Dunn, Chancellor, to proceed to
Home for the purpoao of repiosanting the Biah
on. They aro now ou tho wav to Bomo.
Tho action of the Bishop iu
making lae change is tbo subject of
much comment iu Catholic circles, especially
in St. James' congregation, tviio made an appeal
to the Bishop to rescind tbo order lomuving
Father Ujx without effect. Mauy wild ru
mere have been set afloat concerning
the changes, various absurd and extrava
gant Hones being freely circulated.
In order to al uy what tureatuned
to become a public scandal. B.shop McCloskcy
has concluded, although coutrarv to usage, to
explain matters from the pulpit, doing so
to-dav iu the presence of a largo congre
gation of Catholics. The Bishop defended bis
action, and assigned aa the cause that Devries
refused to furnish a yearly report of the financial
condition of the parish, for which ho was re
moved to another charge, Devries refused to go,
and appeals to Bomo fiotn the order of Bishop
McClossey. Tim case excites much Interest, as
appeals from Bishops are rarely wade.
