HOW IT PBOO&E*SB3.
When Brother Moody started from Chicago to
engage in bid great evangelical work in Great
BntatD.be left hie congregation worshiping in
the old frame structure, a temporary concern
erected after the fire, at the corner of Ontario
and Wells streets. Almost immediately after
tho fire in which wae destroyed Hr. Moody's
church on Illinois street, between LaSalle and
Wells, preparations were made for building a
new one. Before Mr. Moody started for Europe
some $40,000 bad been subscribed for the pur
pose. and guarantees obtained for from $7,000 to
SIO,OOO additional, and Messrs- E. C. Cook,
Watte, Be Golyer, J. M. Hitchcock, George G.
Robinson, and F. H. Babell bad been appointed
a Budding Committee to cake charge of the
pro](«.
In July 1873. about two months after Mr.
Moody's departure, ground was broken on the
present Rite on the northeast corner of La Salle
street nod Cbicagoavei ue for the new structure.
Work was pushed vigorously until earl? in the
fall when tne panic swept over the country
damaging business of ail Kind, and rather than
undertake to crowd the subscribers to the build
ing fund, many of « bom subsequently foundtbem
selves in straitened circumstances, tbe committee
abandoned the plan for completing tbe building
that year, and instead finished off the basement,
which has been used by the congregation since
that time.
All arrangements, however, being complete,
work was resumed on tb« church for its comple
tiou. according to the original plan, or tbe Ist of
August. The walls are nearlv completed and
work is being eo rapidly advanced that tbe build
ing will be finished ready for occupancy about
Dec. 1. .
The ground plan is 100 fe*l on Chicago ave
nue by 150 on LaSalle. In the basement there
will be a lecture-room with seating capacity for
about 1.000 ; Übrarv and reading-room; pastor’s
Study and committee-rooms, and young ladies’
rooms and dining-room and kitchen.
The entire main floor above will be thrown
into a vast auditorium, with a gallery extending
round three sides of the ball, and adding milv
50 per Cent to tbe seating caoaqity. wbicb will
be between 3,000 and 4,000, Tbe ceiling of the
mam hall will be SO feet in height to the cornice,
from which it will rise in an arch for some 20
feet additional. The interior will b© lighted
by four mallioned windows in the Chicago
avenue front, and five in that on LaSalle
street, besides which there will be
a skylight 30 feet square. The walls and ceil
ings will bo tastefully frescoed, and tho wnoie
handsomely finished- Externally tbe church
will present a plahi, massive appearance, re
lieved by a heavy circular lower at tbe corner of
Chicago avenue and LaSalle etreete. which will
be about 125 feet in height, and will be capped
by a turret, to correspond with which lesser tur
rets will surmount the columns between tbe
windows.
* Since Brother Moody’s departure, the congre
gation. continuing to regard him as their pastor,
have employed no ooeto fill the pulpit, but have
continued services regular!v. Dr. Goodwiir, the
Bov. M. Erdman, the Bev. Mr. May, ana other
ministers &t different times preaching there, and
at other times tbe pulpit being filled by laymen,
among whom were Messrs. David Montgomery,
Watts De Golger, and Maj. D. W. Whittle. Dp
on tbe completion of the church io December,
howev?r. it is expected that Mr, Moody wiU for
for a short time at least assume bis place in the
pulpit. The cost of the new structure will be
about $60,000, making the total expenditure for
church and lot $32,500.
EFFORTS AT UNION,
PROCEEDINGS or THE CONFERENCE AT BONN.
The correspondent of the London Time* st
Bonn gives »n interesting account of the session
of the Old Catholics and members of the Greek,
English, American Episcopal, and other
churches. At the first meeting on Aug. 12
those present besides Dr. von Bollinger, Bishop
Belokons, and Professors Bensch, Lsngen. and
Enovdt, were on the Oriental Side Archbishop
Genadius and Bishop Melehiaedek, from Bou
mania: the Archimandrids Brienios and Anas
tasiado, cent by the Patriarch of Constantino
ple ; Archimandrid Sana from Belgrade, and
Profdssor Nicodemus from Dalmatia; Col.
Kirejef, Secretary to the Friends of Spiritual En
lightenment in Petersburg ; Mr. Jamcheff. Sec
tor of the Ecclesiastical Academy in Petersburg;
Professors Ossinin and Philippolf, from tne
same city; Mr. Bonkbotiun from Moscow, end
Professor Modestow from Kief. One member
was present from France—M. Theodore de
Felice, the son of the late well-known Pro
fessor at Moutauban. The German Protest
ants were represented by only two
members - Dr. Adeiberg, from Zell,
in Bavaria, and Muetz, from Silesia,
From America there were Dr. Potter Secretary
of the House of Bishops of America, Dr. Pony,
Secretary of the Lower House of Clerical Depu
te? and Dr. Scharlf. From England were Pres
ent the Bishop of Gibraltar, the Dean of Ches
ter. Canon Lidflon, and a few others. Dr. von
Bollinger opened the meeting, and prolnded the
discussions bv a survey of what was tube doiio,
and of the difficulties to be overcome. He point
ed out that the groat obstructions to the reunion
nf the Western ind Eastern Churches lay m con
rnctiug modes Of thought. To trace the history
of these distinctions we had to go hacktoa
period when these churches agreed, indthenex
amino that which separates them now. The
great point of difference was the doctnne of the
Holy Ghost, and the chief r OIO , 1 ° f agr6
,7 the objection to the revolutionary move
ment of the Church of Borne. They bad with
the Greeks the common basis
aiod semper, quod üblque, quod ab omnibus.
In the ninth century the separation first oc
curred. tbe Boman Church in vain endeavonn„
to re-establish its eapremacr* Jk® m * lD
that muel be k«g»t in mind was that riie jrords
■■fihoque" weTe an interpolation. They had
appeared in Spain in the sixth century, and
®oread from that country over Europe. In the
beginuin" of tbe eleventh century they were
taken up'aiso in Borne and added to the Batin
creed This i aned the Western and Eastetu
Churches effectually, and the different political
positions the two chnrcoes aftei wards assumed
made any reunion leas likely than ever. .
The words •• filioque ” having been
into the Creed it was necessary to justify’
and now the question became one of authority.
Pope Innocent 111. claimed to be tne representa-
mm*
od the slippery ground be was treading. Tbe
theological views of Aquinas obtained from bis
own time complete authority in the Church, and
severe punishments were ready for those who
did not follow him. Tbe declaration of tbe Vat
ican in 1870 introduced a great schlem. It broke
up tbe Catholic Churcb, and threw the protest
ing part? again with the Oriental Church.
French independence bad already been destroy
ed. In France, alone among Roman Catholic
countries, the Jesuits did not. till the beginning
of this century, obtain any great influence. Tue
University of Paris and the Galilean Church al
ways were thorns in tbe side of the Pope. But
when Napoleon, with a stroke of the pen, de
stroyed tbe French Episcopacy, he handed the
Church over to Home. As regarded the doctrine
of the Holy Ghost, tbe expression among the
Greek Fathers differed from that among the
Latin Fathers in the use of tbe words “through
the Son ” iost cad of “ from the Son. 11
Prof. Ossinin read aloud certain propositions
that Bollinger bad drawn up in the laogmge of
the Greek Fathers, which the Old Catholic
Church and the Anglicans admitted. They were
as follows: |
1. The Son is with the leather the source of tbe Ho
ly Ghost (Athanasius).
2. All that the Holy Ghost has is derived from tbe
Logos (Athanasius^.
3. The Holy Ghost combines the Logos not with tbe
Father, but takes from Him (Epiphanies).
i. The Holy Ghost is a part of the Son (metoebon
tou-tou uiou).
5. The Holy Ghost is to the Son as tbe Son is to tbe
Father (BasiUus: suntet&ktai).
G. The Son la the original (prototupos) of tbe Holy
Ghost.
7. The expressions which the Fathers use of tbe
relation of the Son to the Holy Ghost lead to a sub
stantial emanation. The Holy Ghost is poured out
(proebentai), goes out (prolenaj) of the Son. This go
ing out of the Son, is, according to Chrysostom, ilka
that of water from a spring.
R. It Is only the same thought employed otherwise
when Athanasius says, the Holy Qnost baa all that it
has from tho Son.
9. That the Holy Ghost has Its existence from the
Son just as the Son has It from the Father, is so word
for word in Gregory of Syesa (at the end of the first
book ugainst Eunomiaa),
10. We agree with Gregory of Nyssa, that in the
Trinity there is no other difference than that the one
person is the Principle, the other out of the Principle.
The Holy Ghost, according to this, is not the Princi
ple, but only out of the Principle,—namely, out of the
Father as the Principle of both. •
11. We approach the doctrine of CyriUos of Alexan
dria.
la). The Holy Ghost according to its nature is in the
Son as it Is in the Father.
(6). The Holy Ghost Is substantially present in the

Holy Ghost arises.
(rt). The Holy Ghost is the Spirit proper to the exist
ence of the Son.
At the session of the 13th the Archbishop of
Svra was present, and the five Churched of the
Ease—the Patriarchate of Constantinople, the
Russian, Roumanian, Servian, and Dalmatian
Churches —were represented.
Dr. Dellinger opened the discussion by saying
that the Greek Church was formerly in a differ
ent position from that in which itnow is towards
Rome. While the Reformed Churches were de
clared heretical, the Greek Church was schis
matic. If a member of the Reformed Church want
ed to take Catholic orders he required first abso
lution by the Pope from his heresy. It was not so
with members of the Greek Church. But mem
bers of the Greek Church are now heretics if
they deny the infallibility or absolute power of
the Pope. There is nothing else possi
ble. The Greeks are now like the Ang
licans and the Old Catholics, heretics in
the eyes of Rome. Now, the French
theologians would be heretics. Bossuet would be
a heretic, and even the whole Gal lican Church.
The possibility of reunion through (he Roman
Cfanrch is cow destroyed; all hope must be
given up, but there is a possibility of reunion of
the Churches through other channels. The whole
Christian Church stands divided into two great
camps. On the one side are 130,000,000 of Ro
man Catholics. It is not possible that 180,000,-
000 of civilized people will retain long the doc
trines of infallibility and unconditional subservi
ence to the Pope as to God. The train of revo
lution is laid, and the march is almost ready.
All the historical materials for it are collected.
This wDs not a nurriedlv-formed opinion. It was
the result of fifty years’ study. The Bishops did
not now rebel bnt why fild they ever raise an
objection to his own views, teaching as he did
openly daring all these fifty years that the Pope
had neither absolute power nor infallibility?
Thev wffre only silent. The will of the Lord
would come to pass, and they had met to see
how the change could be peacefully accom
plished.
M. Janisbeff said he thought all Orientals
agreed on these points : X. That the Godhead is
equally present in all three persons; 2. Thai the
special quality of the Father is the fountain of
both the Holy Ghost and the Son ; of the Son
that he is the 8 m and chosen of the Father; 3.
That the Holy Ghost goes from the Father.
Dr. Dollinger said then thev were three-quar
ters agreed. One quarter remained to be set
tled. This quarter could be arranged bv a Com
mittee in private and afterwards brought before
the meeting. He proposed that there should be
chosen two representatives of each Church,
making a Committee of six. This was agreed to.
The object of the Committee, Dr. Dollinger said,
was to find the dogmatic expressions- and for
mulas beat adaoted for agreeing with the East
ern Cbuich, not*different from the general West
ern % form. . , •
Canon Liddon thought they might make the
following concession:
Ghost proceeds eternally from the Father
alone, m the sense tnat the Father alone is the Foun
tain of Deity, bnt aiso, as we believe, through the
Sou * while for ourselves, subject to the future decision
of a truly (Ecumenical Council, we retain the formula
that tbe Holy Ghost proceeds from the Father and the
Son: we do not believe that there are Principles
or two Causes in tbe Godhead, but we beoeve in one
principle and one Cause.
The concession is the word “ alone,” which
belongs to the scholastic period of Eastern the
ology. '
Dean Howeon thought we should not aim at
too much, and that the proposition should be
such as would leave both parties to go on as be
fore. Ha, herefore, proposed what follows to
replace it;
That while the Orientals are left free to retain their
customary form “from the and the Western
free to retain their larger form * from the Father
through the Son.” expresses accurately the theological
truth held by both.
The result of the consultations is expressed in
a telegram from Bonn under date August 16, as
with the members of tne Eastern
Church attending the Conference of the friends of
Christian Church Union hare resulted in an agree
ment upon the doctrine of the Procession of the Holy
Ghost in all essential points. The communication of
the fact by Dr. Dollinger was Joyfully received by the
Conference. .
This is sufficiently indefinite.
BEECHER OH THE GOSPEL OF CUSH.
a SERMON AMONG THE MOUNTAINS.
Mr. Beecher held hie second teat-service at
the Twin-Mountain House Aug. 29, sod took for
bis text 44 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your
Father in heaven is perfect;” In the coarse of
bis remarks he answered various objections that
are made to the doctrines that the end to be
gained by conversion and religious training is
the production of a higher type of character,
and be repelled the assertion that it was a new
fangled doctrine. He declared that it was that
which Christ and His disciples taught. Those
very tbitigs which the Gospel places moat stress
upon were the things which the devil’s disciples
called 4 ‘ gush.” That which Paul said death
coaid not touch was not reason nor shining gift*
of eloquence, nor prophecy and fore-looking,
but those emotions of the seal—faith, hope, and
love: to them was given the c-town of immortali
ty, wnile all these other qualities were obliged
to fall back in the shadow of twilight.
While dwelling on the subject of church
unity, the speaker paid a tribute to the Jews in
the following language:
t nn rnaon whr there should be m division ane
Christian. The old daritneaa
Ms mused away: the medheval days tint were over
the name of the Jew—that need to oe a byword and a
biasing—have dropped their habiilmeuta of contempt.
Thia free land, 1 beilere, ia the only piece on the globe
wh-re the Jews feel thenmaree to Do so permanent y
caubdibed that they buy real estate and settle
down and mingle witn the people and become
r««mi£d citizens, and ho that ha. ground
under bill! laics root in it and a s dzlure Now,
Jim indebted to the Jewa for that which ia heat
among M: we have received from the old Jew slock our
highest notiOM of manfiood. We have received trorn
them our noblest concepUoM of righteousness, all the
world has gone to school to Judaism, and wsaro wnat
„ are—as men discerning right and wrong, and ae
having unutterable aspirations for S higher manhood
—by tie Jewish Scripture and the Jewisn Christ, The
Jews bars come among uh, and we turn mud say to
them. “That which was born with you and ripened
andmade effulgent by the principle* of one of your
own men, descended through the loins of the patri
arch David, Jeena oor Savior, and your countryman
haa rounded out and given to the world in raplend
mt and perfect form the conception that lingered,
tw.n'ded,and dawned and shone, but did not come to
I its noonday brightness In the Old Testament.
I in mother connection Mr. Beecher argued,
NUMBER lif
enforcing his argument dpr numerous illustra
tions, shat it took the whole being, including
the physical, the intellectual, the social, the
moral, and the spiritual nature, brought to a
state of perfection to make & typical Christian
roan. Though persons who were not perfect
in some of these respects might be exemplary
Christiana, and might go to heaven, yet they
could not be types of tbe highest order of Chris
tian manhood. Tbe man who was drat a man in
body, then a man in affection, then a man W
reason, then a man in moral (acuities, and thei
a man in spiritual elements was a typical Chris
tian man.
THE RALSTON LESSON,
pnor. swing’s interpretation.
The Affiance of yesterday contained an edito
rial from 'Prof. Swing’s pen on the Ralston
matter which is more common sense in its tone
than the average religious editorial. It is so
follows: •
Death came by fate or by choice, and upon it* dark
background the public may now see the folly of the
life. In the rase of Jay Cooke and other illustrious
human failures the hldeousneaa of the frauds was hid
den behmd the Air words and philosophic smliee of
tbe offenders ; but, in the case of Ralston, death cams
and poured upon the reckless career a gloomy light.
Tbe broken bank is dearly seen Is the broken heart.
Death checks the coating of whitewash which would
have been spread over the California Bank had Ralston
lived on and chatted and smiled. When a banker
cheats the hard-working public out of ten millions or
one million, somebody standing nearest to the fraud
should perhaps die at the time of the expose, that the
picture of the shameful affair may have a black enough
background.
The death of poor Ralston is a burning red-light
that now foils upon many other ruins near and far.
We can all see the Northern Pacific Railway, and the
Cook County Bank, and many other piles of debris in
that red glare from the Padfic coast. Sow long the
public will continue to march up to marble counters
end hand its earniugs over to reckless adventurers.
Heaven only knows.
One of the consolations to be found In such sus
pending banks lies in the thought that the dear peo
ple seem to need severe lessons In this business of
banking. When any of us. farmers, and teachers, and
preachers, will go each week and deposit our earnings
with a man who keeps forty fast horses and poors out
money, as they said of Ralston, like water, we ought
all to see the day soon when we should step up to onr
bank and find it as badly closed as is the old garden of
Eden. •
It may be the mnltitude la learning gradually what
style of man to trust, but their progress is painfully
slow, and the tuition bills painfully large. The school,
however, keeps on.
This great collapse ought to teach the daily press a
lesson of duty. If. as many of the editors now state,
•*thev foresaw this, 1 ” u they feared this, M “they sus
pected as much,” etc., ate., why did they not a year
ago, or three years ago, nuke their columns the outlet
of their prophetic souls? When the Cook County
Back closed, one of our public men said be had known
for a long time that the assets of that bank were
nothing but ** cats and dogs,” There are many
of these knowing ones all around, but their
silence about these “cats and dogs” la very
wonderful. With many of these wise men, the Infor
mation is perhaps “ cats and dogs * also, but it is not
to be donbted that there are editors of daily papers
who studiously keep back from the public information
of great moment,—keep it back because the men in
the bank are more powerful than the row of deposit
ors. Until the daily paners shall learn to make Justice
their cardinal virtue, their ink will be spread out In
vain. Of course they dare not make insinuations, and
become perpetual disturbers of the public confidence
in the banking system, bat they hold a power that
might find its ways of reaching a set of doubtful men,
and of checking them without creating a public alarm.
The dally paper is the chief hope of the
and should stand by the people.
ELEGANT CHURCH EDIFICES.
T.F-TTFUt FBOU THE BET. DB, BALL.
A writer in the New York Sun recently ad
dressed an open letter to the Rev. John Hall,
D. D.. of tbo .Fifth Arenas Presbyterian
Church of that city, in which several common U
was made on the extreme cost of the cbnrch
edifice and grounds, and tho reverend gentle
man takfa occasion to reply as below:
Bnt the cost of the Fifth Avenue Church Is objec
tionable. Why? Should there be a church there?
Should it be an eyesore ? Or would not good taste and
good sense require it to bear some proportion to the
style and apse trance of the avenue? Is it our fault
that it required $330,000 to buy a site for it ? or that it
coat sroo,uOo more to erect a building at once largo
enough for l church of over a thousand members, and
not out of keeping with the avenue? Suppose we had
run up a lath-aod-plastsr structure on the best part of
the avenue, near the Central Park, —a more solid sort
of circus accommodation,—we should have been cen
sured for that Puritanical lack of taste that disfigured
“our most splendid avenue.” And as to cost, surely
tt is relative. A religious edifice in any American
town will cost the price of ten or fifteen ordinary
houses In the place, and not be thought extravagant.
And the cost of ten or fifteen houses on tho avenue
has erected the church on the avenue.
Sorely it is not like the good tense of a high class
newspaper to single oat Protestant places of worship
for disapproval, when the erection of other handsome
snd Imposing public buildings is set down to publio
spirit. Whv should railways, banks, and all secular
corporations, present thomvelves in impressive struc
tures, and tbe worship of the Almighty be deemed un
worthy of some outlay? If, indued, we begged the
money, or wrong it from the fears of tne poor and
needy, or were conspicuously wanting to all public
charities, we might bo Justly censured. But why
should Protestants be precluded from erecting, if they
afford it. a handsome structure for the purpose of
their worship?
bat; lie suggested the poor cannot worship in It.
Where is the evidence of that ? The annual cost you
wreatly overstate. If many rich men paid large sums
for pews it has been, aznon? other objects, that the leas
rich should be able to worship there at moderate ex
pense. It is worth inquiring whether there is an
other public building In the city that can bo visited
with equal comfort and advantage 300 times in the
year for less than per annum. . . •
Protestants —poor Protestants—can as easily obtain
tbe services of clergymen as can Roman Catholics. In
fact, they receive regular pastoral visitation as Roman
Catholics do not; for it Is not tbe custom for the
Roman Catholic clergy to go to tbe bouses of tbe peo
ple unless wneo sent for. Protestant ministers are as
diligent, as hard worxed, as effective as the Roman
Catholic clergy anywhere, put as much mind and
heart into their work, and, if they have not as large a
proportion of poor as the Roman Catholic priests,
is the fault theirs, or is their religion to be
blamed for IJf? It Is a mistake also to suppose, as the
open letter- implies, that the Protestant poor cannot
have rellgi#is accommodation. Where are there such
poor in N /or York who cannot be accommodated 7 It
is no less a mistake to imagine that all the Roman
Catholic poor attend church. Having lived among
them, and seen them under all circumstances, accord
ing to my observation the Roman Catholic community
contains as large a proportion of non-church goers, to
say the least, as the Protestant. The dying will, in
deed, from tne nature of the case, send for the clergy;
but that proves nothing. I trust lam candid enough
to acknowledge whatever is good in my fellow-citizens
of any class or name; but you will not deem it strange
thitfc I cannot accept any personal eulogy that appears
to be levied off my brethren, nor by silence appear to
admit statements in an open letter to me, founded, I
believe, in roiaapprehensiun, and injurious in their
tendencies to great interests.
REFRACTORY PRIESTS.
TBOUBLE IN THE CATHOLIC CHDBOH AT LOTUS-
For some little time past there baa been con
siderable excitement and discussion among tbs
Borneo Catholics of Louisville over the removal
and suspension of several priests in that diocese
by the Bight Rev. Bishop McCioskev, Bishop of
the diocese. The Ber. Lawrence Bos, pastor of
St. John’s Church, in Louisville, was removed to
Bowling Green; Father Lefraine, from Lebanon
to Kazaretb: Rev. Dr. Devries, of Bowling
Green, was ordered to Hardioaburg, bat refused
to go, and was suspended. He appealed to Rome
from the Bishop’s decision. Father Box
bas been pastor of St. John’s Church,
which ho founded nineteen years ago*
His congregation was very unwilling to have
him go, and appealed to the Bishop, bat be w&
firm in his purpose. The trouble arose from the
Bishop requiring the priests to make an annual
report of unsocial matters, the said report to be
attested by two lay members of toe coogregar
tioo. This Father Bos objected to, as no re
garded it as a degradation to have his reports ex
stained by lav members. The Rev. Mr. Devries
has gone to Cincinnati to endeavor to obtain the
indotsemeot of Archbishop Purcell prior to vi«-
:tiog Some to lay the matter before the head of
the Cbtrch there. Bishop McCloekey oo Sunday
last laid \be matter before bis congregation. The
following * his statement of the case :
A pastor 01 one of the dtj churches had been
moved; that vy the Immediate cause of the dlfflcully,
bat the whole tumble had :U farther back. IS
had grown oat o: the fact that he (the Bishop) wanted
to know the finudal condition of the churches In bis
Diocese; for this he was alone responsible, and re
sponsibility could no. be assumed by soy other per
son. Apart from theresponsibillty as Bishop, it was
an ordinary business \ct.. He wanted to know pre
cisely what was the UnanHal condition of bit Diocese;
hence he required vxrioi* pariah priests to render
yearly statements of the fli*ncial condition of their
churches. This was no new 6|ing • u wa * done In all
Urge Dioceses East; it was dot* in the Diocese'of tbs
Cardinal Arcbbishon of New Yok, in the Archdiocese
of Baltimore, in the Diocese of toston, and other Di
oceses. They render their accosts every year, so
that Cardinal Archbishop or Archbishop knows how
much their churches are In debt. Bit when a Bishop
has no means of knowing this how am he reader an
account? This was no email matter: it In
volved many thousands of dollars; lance, Are yssxa
