MieaioVABT Mbbtibo. The monthly mis
sionary meeting ana concert iook piace m tne
basement of the Fourth Presbyterian church,
corner of Ninth and Q streets.
The exercises were opened by Rev. J. O. Smith,
the pastor, who aald he regarded missionaries
the most Important of all the fields of Iabor,and
the meeting on this occasloa was to pray la
spirit for the country and the whole world, and
especially for the great missionary who goes
forth to teach the gospel In distant law3i.
After singing and prayer, reports were heard
tral Turkey, and Northern 'ciAna, from all of
wnicn piacea tne accounts receiver were oi a
flattering character.
It was also stated that there had Just been or
ganized a New Lngtand Foreign Missionary So
ciety la Uoston, the object of which waa to raise
funds and educate young unmarried ladles to
labor tn the missionary cause In foreign fields,
and that the society already waa given, much
promise of usefulness.
Itav. S. H. Klgga waa then Introduced, who
Jave aom experience -among the Dakota In
lane eome two years ago. Uurlnglast summer
he visited Nebraska, and found there had been
erected a little church, which wae prospering at
the last accounts. He spoke at length regarding
the habits of the Indian, their superstition, and
their desire to be friendly to the whites.
When a number of Indiana were Imprisoned at
Davenport, a few years ago, It waa expected and
asserted that upon their release they wouRl
murder all the whites they enoountered and com
mit other outragesibut sueh was not the fact,
for they went among the whites, and asked
work, and after obtaining It, worshipped with
them in the same meeting. He aald there was
considerable Buffering among them, owing to
failure of crops and scarcity of labor, and those
who were embracing a knowledge of religion as
tauahHiy the missionary, expressed the greatest
love for the white man and Ma Uod.
After a few remarks from Mr. King on the Im
portance of united efforts being used la the mis

ujaurnou.
SEBViaxa at St. Patbick'b Chuboh The
Rev. Father Kane officiated at St. Patrick'
church yesterday morning. The church was
well filled, and the services appropriate to the
occasion. The pastor stated that on account of
hlaarduouadutieshls physical frame was almost
fire-it rated, and therefore he could not preach a
engthy sermon.
He said that in whatever position we might be
placed we should always seek to serve Ood This
waa obligatory upon us In all positions of life,
and under all circumstances We must not only
serve him ourselves, but Impress this Important
duty upon others. Procrastination should not
be lndulxed in under anv circumstances Our
Influence over others must take the shape of
congeniality iou patience.
He next adverted to the Influence which Cath
olics might exercise over others lu their business
pursuits, as heads of families, &e. Iet them re
solve that they will not only cling to their faith,
but perform the work prescribed for them. They
should eow the good seed, especially among the
young, not la a spirit of puritanical propagand
lam. but in a quiet, unobtrusive manner.
The pastor announced that he had endeavored
to engage the services of Rev. Father Ryan, the
great poet of Ue South, to lecture oa St. Pat
rick's day far the benefit ot the church, but had
not succeeded In his efforts. and would therefore
enter the field himself, taking as his subject
, "The Smiles aud tears erf fcrln " Also, that on
Wednesday evening the Rev. lather dispell, of
Montgomery county, (who was probably the best
theologian in the country,) would preach ou the
subject, "What the Church 'oee" and what It
ought to do "
Lbotubb at Mbtzkbott Hail The Rev,
Jabei Fox delivered the secuud lecture of the
course explanatory of the doctrines of the New
Jerusalem church, at Metzerott Hall, last even
ing. The reverend gentleman took his text from
St. Matthew 18th chapter 19th verse i"Go ye
therefore and baptise the nations la the name of
the Father. Son and Holy Uhost,"
The speaker eoateoded that these three formed
the Trinity and were one, and quoted numerous
passages of Scripture in support of hie l reposi
tion The New Jerusalem church believes in
the divine Trinity of the lather, Son and Holy
Spirit, dwelling in the one person, and sees that
It Is of necessity a Trinity, Man was .made la
the Image of His Maker, ahd there are three
universal constituents or essentials which enter
into the existence of every human being the
emotional nature, the intellectual nature, and
action la another, and together they form a uulty.
Iove. wladom, aud power enter into the dlvlue
Trinity one of these elements alone would not
be Uod they belong necessarily together Die
divine love is the I ather, the dlvlue wisdom the
Ken, and the divine piwer the Holy Spirit.
These are the elements of the Trinity.
There Is a trinity ia mao three realessentlala
the soul is the source of life, the body Is the orgaa
through which the soul manifests Itself and the
words are the acts or expression of the soul the
works are the spirit of the soul breathed.through
the body.
There Is a divine trinity In man three dissimi
lar constituents and together they constitute a
harmonious unity.
Rest Suaday evening the subject will be "The
