In the early ages of C)irif,liunity thore eeema to have boen the same disposi- tion to cavil and to object as in nhrpwri day. From the writings of St. Paul, as •well as St. James, we gather that there mis much dispute about doctrines of importance, eo that the very fundamen- tals of tho faith were risBiuled, not ex- cepting tliat. chief article, tho doctrine of the resurrection. Some looked upon it with open incredulity, :ia the Athe- niana mpelced when they heard it first preached. Somo there were who would maintain that, there wae no literal res- urrection,' ftnd that what Christ and his apostles had said on the subject was spoken figuratively, arid simply referred to a renovation toalifeof holines» from a state of sinfulness, as from a state of death. This was probably the error of Hymeneus and Philetue, who said that “ the resurrection is past already.” [' iThe appstle Paul therefore nets him- self to prove at larger in the loth chap- ter of 1st Corinthians, that there shall be a resurrection from the dead. He shows it to he possible, from tho resur- rection of Christ; he shows it to be probable, from tiie analogies of other bodies; and be shows if ,to be certain, from the, preaching of. thin doctrine by tho apostles, and from tho relation in ■which Christ stood to mankind. “ As in Adam,” says Paul, " all die, even so in-Christ ahall allbe mado alive.” Yes, the faithful servants of Christ ahiill riso again I They aro now laid in the grave; but not one of them shall lie loat, there. This ia tho doctrine tho apostles preach- ed, and 'which is plainly revealed in the New.Testament Scriptures, whero Christians are assured of chat plentiful . harvest that should spring out of the 1 dead; when the Lord Jesus Christ shall again descend from ’heaven.' The question then: witli us aa beliov- era in the Bible is not whether tho Scriptures .teach that there will boa “resurrection iroin tho dead”—that is allowed on all hands—but Whether there be such objections against tiie possibil- ity of a resurrection as to make it " in- credible,*' iind so justify any in reject- ing tho Scripture testimony. Can it be |shbwn, even apart from direct doctrine, that a resurrection from the dead falls without the range of what'ia possible? That there ia much in thia doctrine that requires atrong faith must be ad- mitted—much that suggests perplexing inquiry. But when once God is ac- . knowledged as the Author of creation, ‘. there is nothing to make us pause in allowing that he may lie the. Author of "tiie resurreotiph. Ho whose power was nyghty. ,enough | to; effect tho forinbr hmat necessarily lie mighty enough to. etleot the latter ; and upon this ground it;ia that Paul, in" attesting'the resur- rection of Christ, asks as in tho text, " Why should it be thought a'tliing inr credible with you that God should raise tho dead?” When once it is admitted that there iB a God, and that Gqd pos- sesses tho attribute of omnipotence, then the -resurrection from tiie dead may be, as nothing can bo too hard for him in whoso hand is infinite power. None but avowed atheists can affirm that a resurrection is impossible. That auch an event ia probable—that man ia destined to a fur higher arid more en- during sphere of being tlutn that which ho now .possesses—these things nil the analogy of nature teaches. Such anal- ogy, if it does not suffice ns a ground of belief, must servo to silence objections. One lif'tho fathers of the church thus expresses himttlf upon this subject: ‘ Tho day,” he says, " dies with night; ao does the Summer with Winter; tho sap returns into the root, and lies bur- ied in the ground ; but us the Spring appeals, tlio liowers and plants peep forth, from thtir graves, revive, and grow, und flourish. This is the annual resurrection. Tho corn on which wo live is buried in the ground, thatit may corrupt arid putrefy, so that it may again revive and llouriah. Our bodies are fed with thia constant revival of na- ture—wo aro sustained in existence by a succession of resurrections. Thus we perceive that all things revive by cor- rupting, are preserved by perishing, and live by dying. And can it bs that man for whom all these tilings were made, is himself to lio forever beneath the power of death, never to live again ?” But we possess, evidence far more convincing than tho analogy of nature, and which to.the Christian constitutes it a certainty—tiie positive authority of Scripture, Even in the imperfect light of the Old Testament revelation, the resurrec tion of the body ia taugli t. “ I know,’’ ;said;Job, “ that my; redeemer liveth, und that he shall stand atithe latter.day upon the earth ; and: though after iny skiu wornis destroy this body, yet. in;niy ilesh I ahull scoGod." "Thou wilt not leave niy soul in hotl, neither wilt thou ,suHer thy holy ono to see cor- ruption,” as we read in tho sixteenth Psalm. And in tho book of the prophet Dan- iel it is written, “ Many of them that slet-p ill tho dust of the cauli ahull awake, some to everlasting life, und soma to ifhame und everlasting con- tempt.' But in tlio gospel this doctrine is fully revealed : “ l a m tho resurrec- tion aud the life,” saith the Lord; “ he that bolievoth on me, though he wero dead, yet shall:be live; und whosoever liveth and . boiioveth in me shall never die.” Thus wo Bee that tho resurrec- tion from thtj dead was made the object ol anticipation and joyous hope in pa- triarchal and prophetical times, and that it constitutes qne of tho chief topics proclaimed in the personal ministry of the Lord and Saviour; and in the teach- ing of tho upostles, "they preached, through Jesus, tho resurrection from tho dead.” “ Eeep Them From The Evil,” For ourselves or for those whom we lovo there can be no better prayor than this for which we havo our Lord’s own example. What the world is none knew so well as Ho who made it: the evil Ho also knew «a none elso could, for none but he knew iitf tunefulness. But ho would not have hia own disci- ples taken out of tho world in which they ware to be the salt to preserve from corruption—the leaven to pervade —the light to’enlighten the mass'; he does not pray for their removal, though it might bs that much sorrow'might at- tend them in the world, but :lio. does pray that his Father, who always heard his prayers, would keop them “from the evil.” If we could see evil aa he saw it, how fervent would be our ‘ amen” to this prayer for ourselves and for . others 1 How fervent especially would it be for those young ones, so dear to. ub , whom wo have tended parha.ps, arid watched through childhood with fond care, and who are now entering as young men or maidens upon this world, /Inch seems so fair to them, but of.which we can see hut tqo’wei! “ the evil." . Keep them, Lord 1 we canpot keep them 1 This is the' cry of many nn anxious heart: %Vo do not ask exemption for thorn froni its cares, its sorrows,' il# perplexities, with half the earnestness with which we cry, “ Keep them froni the evil!” If at every time wh en thought of their danger conies over ub , wo would turn ths anxious’ sigh into this short strong prayer, surely we would not pray in, vain, surety , wo might look upon the very inspiration, to pray aa a token of th« Lord’s willingness to hear. For he who first prayed thus for his own give.1 ; us thereby not only example but en- couragement, and is himself the hearer and the answerer of every prayer of faith, whose course from the burdened heart on earth to the mcrey-seat in heavon he has himself by hia good spirit directed and inapired. A New Song, , They aung, as it were, a new song, bf- Jore the throne."—Rev. 14: y. The new songaungiii heaven is begun on earth. It ia not confined to the re- deemed above; it has Often arisen to God from tho redeemed below, when he has toue.hed their hearts by. a.ome fresh deliverance; or fresh, view of his love.; and has thus, according toDavid’a words, “put a new song” in their mouths. If we are ever to sing that song of de- liverance before the throne, we must loam lo know something of delivorance here below; wo must know tho mean- ing of redemption if we would hope to join in the song of the redeemed ; for it is a «ong which (lo man can learn but they.. It ia “a liewfeong," becauae aung by new hearts, withiihw feelings of love iind now discoveries, of God’s glory. . If we would sing as David did, we niust seek lo know Gou jih ho d id ; every deliverance added a new chord to hia harp, a liew stanza to.liis song, because he loved to trace the hand of his God in each stage of hia history. The thought of tho agony he had endured, "tho hor- rible pit,” and "the niiry cliiy,” out of which God had taken liim, so filled hia heart, that the old songs were uoi enough for him ; praise and tluinka. lovo and faith, filled his tvhole-spirit, and found vent in it ikhv amig lvOiiby ol the harpers before the throne. Way God enable us to realize what ho has done for our deliverance, then we too ahull sing “a new song I” Better Things to Come, Let things go as ill us we can fear in this world, if we are aincere Christiana there ia a far better state to, come, to which wo shall be admitted when wo are once out of this troublesome and sinful world. We are assured that we are under the conatant caro of divino Providence. The tranquility of our minds in this world depends very much upon tho esteem we have of Providence and the trust we repose in God. We cannot alter the methods of Prov- idence by all our solicitude; God will govern the world by'Mb own measures arid not by ours. Tho government ia liis, the duty of •submission ia ours. Let r.3 not then bo peevish and quarrel- some at what- ho doth ; but make the best use of any extraordinary instance of his Providence which soeniaintended for our good unless we turn it another way. But it ia not enough to bo merely con- tented with Providence; we ought to be active and useful iu our own places to promote tho common interest, and not to repine and murmur at what ia nec- essary for the support of. it. Lotus not torment ourselves with fears of what may and what may hot happen ; but let ua commit ourselves to God in well- doing aa to our Creator and preserver.— Bishop Stillingfieet. , I n addresses from man to man, hy- pocrisy is detestable. How much more so in addresses from man to God I Baby’s CpeniEg Bemarks. I dm here. If this is wliat they call 'tho world, I don’t think much of it. it’s a very llannelly world iitiel, smells of paregoric awfully. It’s a dreadful light world, too, and makes mo blink, I toll you. And I don’t know what to do with my hands; I think I’ll dig my fists into my eyes. No, I won’t; I’ll scram- ble at the corner of iny blanket and chew it up, anil then I’ll holler; and the more paregoric they :give mo the louder I’ll yell. The did nurse puts the spoon, in the comer of niy mouth in .a very uneasy way, and keeps tasting my milk all the while. Sho spilt sntill’, in it last .night-, and when I hollered, trotted me. That came of being a two dnya old baby. There’s a pin sticking, in nie how, and i f j say a word about it I ’ll be trotted or fed; and I would rather have catnip tea.1 I ’ll tell you who I am. I found out to-day. I heard folksaay, " Hush 1don’t wake up Emeline’s baby," and I sup- poso that pretty, white-faced woman over on tho pillow is Emellno. No, 1 was mistuken; for a chap was iu here just now, and wanted to see Bob’a baby, and looked at ine, and said, “ I was a funny little toad, and looked just like ■Bob,” . He smelt of cigars. I Wonder who else Ifeelonjj to?-' Yes, there’s another—that’s “gamma.” “ It was gamma’s . baby , so it was.” - X ,Jo not know who I belong to but I holler, and maybo I ’ll lind out. There eomeij snuffy with catnip tea. i ’m going to sleep. I wonder why my hands won’t go whore I want them to? “ It Keeps It In Mind." A clergyman writing for the Ameri- can Weasenger sftys: . . . “ Several little girls were in my study Becking counsol to aid them iu becom* ing Christians. Ono of them, a dear 'child not much more than eloven yeaj‘8 M , snid: “ *.I havon t heen to two or three of Lite meetings lately.’ Deoiring to test her' I answered, . 'U don e make (is Chi istians to at- .teiul meeiiijgrt, Lizzie.’ . 1 know that,’ elie replied p.t once, * hut it keeps tt in mind.’ *• Ib there not much wisdom iti the child’s uiinwev? ‘ It keeps it in mind/ \Vo suiier a slight excuse to detain us Jhiin tiie ljonse of God on tlio Sabbath duy, J)u we have nmyh iii mind at our homie the thouglit of God as.ltie one whom we should worship? Are we re- minded asm uch of the great facts of our immortality and responsibility, re- maining awav from the sanctuary, as if we had gone there? And if we con- tinue in such a course for weeks, or ovon.years, is tliero not danger that wo shall forget almost ohtirely that there is such a being as the Almighty God?" An Angel Standing By, Wo liavo read of a Certain youth in the early days of Christianity—those periods of historic sullbriiig and heroic patience iind legendary wonder, to which I call your attention—wo read of a Christian youth on whom Ins persecu- toi-a put in practica a more than com- iiion share .of their ingenuity, that by hia tortncnta—let those who can or will go through the horrible, details—thoy might compel him to deny liis Lord and Saviour. After ii long endurance of those pains they released Iiini, in wotulCr at his obstinut-j. Hia Christian brethren are said to have wondered too, and to have asked him by what mighty faith he could so strangely subdue the violence of tho lire, aa that neither a cry nor a groan escaped him, “ It was indeed most painful,” was the noble youth’s reply; “ hut nn angel atood by mo whon my aiiguiah was at tho worst, aud with his finger pointed to heaven.” 0 thou, whoever thou art, that are tempted to commit a sin, do thou think on death, and that thought will bean angel to thee 1 The hope of heaven will raise thy courage above the fire-cast threatening* of tlio world; the fear of hell will rob its persuasions of all their enchantment ; and' the very extremity of their trial may itself contribute to animate thy exertions by the thought that tho greuter will be tliy reward here- after.

The light of love reveals such treas- ures of goodness, hidden from untouch- ed eyes,, that our loved ones stan,d ever in a halo of beauty crowned and glori- fied. F kak begets falsehood ; and, as fear is the, principal instrument in procuring family obedience, falsehood has heen called, with striking and' fearful signifi- cance, “ the epidemic of the nursery.” P assions', like liorsea, when properly trained arid disciplined;;are capable pf being applied to the noblest purposes ; but when allowed to liavo their own way, they beconie dangerous iii the ex- treme. There ia no contending against, lie cessity, and we should be very lender how we censure those tlnit submit to it. It ia one thing to be nt liberty to do what you will, and another thing to be tied up to do what we must. It' but one medicine can cure, he who despises him remains in condemnation. If tliero is but one path homeward, ho who takes another remains astray. So he who docs not accept, thia only Sav- iour, Jesus, is hopelessly lost. D efects of a preacher' are soon spied.”-says Martin Luther in his Table Talk, Let a preacher be (indued with ten virtues and liavo but one fault, that one fault wilt eclipse and darken all liis virtues and gifts, so evil is the world in these times.” N ever lose nn opportunity of seeing anything beautiful. 3eauty is God’s handwriting; it ia a wayside sacrament. Welcome it in overy face, every fair sky, every fair fl*wer, and thank him with yonr eye. It is a charming draught; n cup of blessing. As a llnme touches a ilame and com- bines into splendor and glory, so ia the spirit of man united to Christ by the Spirit of God. It is a good thing to obey tho law of God, but it is better, to love it. The former is to live a new life, tho lat- ter is to have anew heart. Gon loves to fade tho winga of prayer with the choicest and chiefewt blessinga. Many-Christiana have found, by exper- ience, praying times to boaealiiigtimea. They havo found a prayor to be a shel- ter to their souls, a sacrifice to God, a sweet savor to Christ, a scourge to Satan an inlet to assurance, u, step toward heavon. A boui, weak in grace lias as much in- terest in the Lord us tlio strongest snint lins, though ho lias not the skill to im- prove that interest, And isnot tin's a singular comfortniul support ? Verily, were there: no more to bear- tip a poor, weak eaint front fainting under nil his sins, and sorrows, ond. Bufferings, yet thia alorio might do it. • In seaeona of trial and perplexity we havo been tempted to think tliat if we had only lived in tho old dispensation nn angel would have visited us with a message, or a viaiori liavo. guided our indecision. But wo havo not availed ourselves as fully as in our privilege of tho presdnco of tho Angel of the Cov- enant in the personal humanity of Jeaua, who went before us through all the stages of life and sorrow. In aucli sea- sons we are.required to take hut one stop at a time, looking ujl all tho way. PasGing Events at Ocean Grom The sunny days and moonlight nights of the current week ut Ocean Grove,, have been a.perfect charm,. On whatever avenue you turn, new buildings are going up, or old ones are enlarged and improved. Quite a number of lots have been sold during the last few weeks, more than during any corresponding period for- several years. . verywhere, .through the Grove and along tho avenues, the robins sing and sparrows twitter until all nature seems vocitl with sweetest song. Ground has just been brOKcn fora large boarding house, on lots owned by. Bev. iMr. Long, on Ocean Avenue, be- tween Atlantic and Sea View. ' ^ro'n have been busy, for scveral dnys • ; raking tho leaves from the congregation grounds, until they look clean chough to commence meeting at once. The Association force, under Captain. Kninear, havo been doing extensive work in the last few weeks. 'Webb Ave... has been cut through to Broadwajy/ clayed, and the sidewalk-made—a much needed work. . . 1 The dividing partition in the Associ- tion Store, occupied by. Mr. Martin, luis been.takdn dowti, and shelving exten- ded from end to end to make room for . the Spring stock of goods, thus early de- manded by increasing business. Among the delightful employments of many of our young people during these early Spring dnys is the gathering of wild liowers, prominent and .most Iriigrant among which is tho trailing ar-_ . butus, which grows quite plentifully in these parts. . Every day, large loads of goods from : the depot, belonging to families from a distance, drive into tho Grove and wind their way through the various avenues to their place of deposit. ..From every direction, parties are'coming fully a -, month earlier than usual. . Broadway’ is to be opened out to the Turnpike, and gates piaced there us at Main avenue, thus giving ingress aud egress, on weok days, at that point,, an accommodation much needed in view v) the Jur^tf jhj.1 itn'ivii.fiii,; muiil.i.'f oi‘. buildings iu tiio aoiuhein ]iai'L id' the Grove. Cookmau, Clark and a third avenuo without a name, havob'jen cut through to Lawrence^avenue; ploughed and tiirfed, and the turf carted to iHtman, r_ McClintock, Bath, Surf, and Atlantic avenues, to make road beds on which gravel aiid clay are placed, So making excellent traveling, where before all was heavy sand. Morrow, Day & Co., of Jersey City, have just purchased six lots, 011 Main avenue, nearljf opposite tho Association Ollice, ou which they erect at once, a largo building, to bo used as a lirst-elass restaurant, ieo cream salooti, lodging house etc., tho building to bo ready'for < occupancy, by Juno 15th. The saitd bank adjoining is to be removed. A force of twelve men; with six carts, under Cupt. Kainear, have been at work on tho Turnpike, along the Ocean Grove front, widening,cutting down, filling Up, and making sidewalks j and although but a few days have been occupied thus: far, yet the transformation .is very great and when the work is douo the im- ' provemont will be such as to meet the approval of all. About two hundred trees, maples and evergrcons, havo been set- out by the . Association, during the last ten days, , and they make a tine show along Ocoan ruthway, Central avonue, and in the vacant spo(s through the congregation grounds. Private citizens aro also set- ting trees along thoir sidewalks, and iu their lots, \Ve hope t\\o example.will be gonerally followed. The Association is erecting a building 011 the corner of Bath and Central ave- nues in connection with the lumber yard, to bo used as storage^rooms for furniture left from year to year by per- sons tenting on the grounds. This de- partment of business .‘has so increased: that in moving from the old’location to make room for tho Arlington JJouse, it was found n^uessavy to increase thestor- . ago capacity by building larger.

The Resurrection.

In the early ages of C)irif,liunity thore

eeema to have boen the same disposi­tion to cavil and to object as in nhrpwri

day. From the writings of St. Paul, as

•well as St. James, we gather that there

mis much dispute about doctrines of importance, eo that the very fundamen­tals of tho faith were risBiuled, not ex­

cepting tliat. chief article, tho doctrine

of the resurrection. Some looked upon

it with open incredulity, :ia the Athe-

niana mpelced when they heard it first

preached. Somo there were who would

maintain that, there wae no literal res­

urrection,' ftnd that what Christ and his

apostles had said on the subject was

spoken figuratively, arid simply referred

to a renovation toa lifeo f holines» from

a state of sinfulness, as from a state of

death. This was probably the error of

Hymeneus and Philetue, who said that

“ the resurrection is past already.”

[' iThe appstle Paul therefore nets him­

self to prove at larger in the loth chap­ter of 1st Corinthians, that there shall

be a resurrection from the dead. He

shows it to he possible, from tho resur­

rection of Christ; he shows it to be

probable, from tiie analogies of other bodies; and be shows if ,to be certain,

from the, preaching of. thin doctrine by

tho apostles, and from tho relation in

■which Christ stood to mankind. “ As in Adam,” says Paul, " all die, even so

in-Christ ahall al lbe mado alive.” Yes,

the faithful servants of Christ ahiill riso

again I They aro now laid in the grave;

but not one of them shall lie loat, there.

This ia tho doctrine tho apostles preach­ed, and 'which is plainly revealed in the New.Testament Scriptures, whero

Christians are assured of chat plentiful . harvest that should spring out of the 1 dead; when the Lord Jesus Christ shall

again descend from ’heaven.'The question then: witli us aa beliov-

era in the Bible is not whether tho

Scriptures .teach that there will boa “resurrection iroin tho dead”—that is

allowed on all hands—but Whether there

be such objections against tiie possibil­

ity of a resurrection as to make it " in­credible,*' iind so justify any in reject­

ing tho Scripture testimony. Can it be

| shbwn, even apart from direct doctrine, that a resurrection from the dead falls

without the range of what'ia possible?

That there ia much in thia doctrine that requires atrong faith must be ad­

mitted—much that suggests perplexing inquiry. But when once God is ac-

. knowledged as the Author of creation,

‘. there is nothing to make us pause in

allowing that he may lie the. Author of

" tiie resurreotiph. Ho whose power was

nyghty. ,enough | to; effect tho forinbr

hmat necessarily lie mighty enough to.

etleot the latter ; and upon this ground

it;ia that Paul, in" attesting'the resur­

rection of Christ, asks as in tho text,

" Why should it be thought a'tliing inr

credible with you that God should raise

tho dead?” When once it is admitted

that there iB a God, and that Gqd pos­

sesses tho attribute of omnipotence,

then the -resurrection from tiie dead

may be, as nothing can bo too hard for

him in whoso hand is infinite power.

None but avowed atheists can affirm

that a resurrection is impossible. That auch an event ia probable—that man ia

destined to a fur higher arid more en­

during sphere of being t lu tn that which

ho now .possesses—these things nil the

analogy of nature teaches. Such anal­

ogy, if it does not suffice ns a ground of

belief, must servo to silence objections.

One lif'tho fathers of the church thus expresses h im ttlf upon this subject:

‘ Tho day,” he says, " dies with night;

ao does the Summer with W inter; tho

sap returns into the root, and lies bur­ied in the ground ; but us the Spring

appeals, tlio liowers and plants peep forth, from thtir graves, revive, and

grow, und flourish. This is the annual

resurrection. Tho corn on which wo

live is buried in the ground, thatit may

corrupt arid putrefy, so that it may

again revive and llouriah. Our bodies

are fed with thia constant revival of na­

ture—wo aro sustained in existence by a succession of resurrections. Thus we perceive that all things revive by cor­

rupting, are preserved by perishing, and

live by dying. And can it bs that man

for whom all these tilings were made,

is himself to lio forever beneath the

power of death, never to live again ?”

But we possess, evidence far more convincing than tho analogy of nature,

and which to.the Christian constitutes

it a certainty—tiie positive authority of

Scripture, Even in the imperfect light

of the Old Testament revelation, the

resurrec tion of the body ia taugli t. “ I know,’’ ;said;Job, “ that my; redeemer

liveth, und that he shall stand atithe

latter .day upon the earth ; and: though

after iny skiu wornis destroy this body, yet. in;n iy ilesh I ahull scoGod." "Thou

wilt not leave niy soul in hotl, neither

wilt thou ,suHer thy holy ono to see cor­ruption,” as we read in tho sixteenth Psalm.

And in tho book of the prophet Dan­iel it is written, “ Many of them that

slet-p ill tho dust of the cauli ahull

awake, some to everlasting life, und

soma to ifhame und everlasting con­

tempt.' But in tlio gospel this doctrine

is fully revealed : “ l a m tho resurrec­

tion aud the life,” saith the Lord; “ he

that bolievoth on me, though he wero

dead, yet shall:be live; und whosoever

liveth and . boiioveth in me shall never

die.” Thus wo Bee that tho resurrec­

tion from thtj dead was made the object ol anticipation and joyous hope in pa­

triarchal and prophetical times, and

that it constitutes qne of tho chief topics

proclaimed in the personal ministry of

the Lord and Saviour; and in the teach­

ing of tho upostles, "they preached,

through Jesus, tho resurrection from

tho dead.”

“ Eeep Them From The Evil,”

For ourselves or for those whom we

lovo there can be no better prayor than this for which we havo our Lord’s own

example. What the world is none

knew so well as Ho who made it: the

evil Ho also knew «a none elso could,

for none but he knew iitf tunefulness.

But ho would not have hia own disci­

ples taken out of tho world in which

they ware to be the salt to preserve

from corruption—the leaven to pervade

—the light to’enlighten the mass'; he

does not pray for their removal, though

it might bs that much sorrow'might at­

tend them in the world, but :lio. does

pray that his Father, who always heard his prayers, would keop them “from the evil.”

I f we could see evil aa he saw it, how

fervent would be our ‘ amen” to this

prayer for ourselves and for . others 1

How fervent especially would it be for those young ones, so dear to. u b , whom

wo have tended parha.ps, arid watched

through childhood with fond care, and who are now entering as young men or

maidens upon this world, /Inch seems

so fair to them, but of.which we can see

hut tqo’wei! “ the evil." . Keep them,

Lord 1 we canpot keep them 1 This is the' cry of many nn anxious heart: %Vo

do not ask exemption for thorn froni its cares, its sorrows,' il# perplexities, with half the earnestness with which we cry,

“ Keep them froni the evil!”

I f at every time wh en thought of their

danger conies over u b , w o would turn

ths anxious’ sigh into this short strong

prayer, surely we would not pray in,

vain, surety , wo might look upon the

very inspiration, to pray aa a token of th« Lord’s willingness to hear. For he

who first prayed thus for his own give.1;

us thereby not only example but en­

couragement, and is himself the hearer

and the answerer of every prayer of faith, whose course from the burdened

heart on earth to the mcrey-seat in heavon he has himself by hia good spirit directed and inapired.

A New Song, ,

“ They aung, as it were, a new song, bf- Jore the throne."—Rev. 14: y.

The new songaungiii heaven is begun

on earth. I t ia not confined to the re­

deemed above; it has Often arisen to

God from tho redeemed below, when he has toue.hed their hearts by. a.ome fresh

deliverance; or fresh, view of his love.;

and has thus, according toDavid’a words,

“put a new song” in their mouths.

I f we are ever to sing that song of de­liverance before the throne, we must

loam lo know something of delivorance here below; wo must know tho mean­

ing of redemption if we would hope to join in the song of the redeemed ; for it

is a «ong which (lo man can learn but

they.. I t ia “a liewfeong," becauae aung by new hearts, withiihw feelings of love

iind now discoveries, of God’s glory. .

I f we would sing as David did, we niust seek lo know Gou jih ho d id ; every deliverance added a new chord to hia

harp, a liew stanza to.liis song, because

he loved to trace the hand of his God

in each stage of hia history. The thought

of tho agony he had endured, "tho hor­rible pit,” and "the niiry cliiy,” out of

which God had taken liim, so filled hia

heart, that the old songs were uoi

enough for h im ; praise and tluinka.

lovo and faith, filled his tvhole-spirit, and found vent in it ikhv amig lvOiiby ol

Better Things to Come,

Let things go as ill us we can fear in this world, if we are aincere Christiana

there ia a far better state to, come, to which wo shall be admitted when wo

are once out of this troublesome and

sinful world. We are assured that we

are under the conatant caro of divino Providence. The tranquility of our

minds in this world depends very much

upon tho esteem we have of Providence and the trust we repose in God.

We cannot alter the methods of Prov­

idence by all our solicitude; God will

govern the world by'Mb own measures

arid not by ours. Tho government ia

liis, the duty of • submission ia ours. Let r.3 not then bo peevish and quarrel­

some at what- ho doth ; but make the

best use of any extraordinary instance

of his Providence which soeniaintended

for our good unless we turn it another

way.

But it ia not enough to bo merely con­

tented with Providence; we ought to be

active and useful iu our own places to

promote tho common interest, and not to repine and murmur at what ia nec­

essary for the support of. it. Lotus not

torment ourselves with fears of what may and what may hot happen ; but

let ua commit ourselves to God in well­

doing aa to our Creator and preserver.— Bishop Stillingfieet. ,

Wo liavo read of a Certain youth in the early days of Christianity—those

periods of historic sullbriiig and heroic

patience iind legendary wonder, to which

Christian youth on whom Ins persecu-

After ii long endurance of those pains

they released Iiini, in wotulCr at his obstinut-j. Hia Christian brethren are

said to have wondered too, and to have asked him by what mighty faith he

could so strangely subdue the violence

of tho lire, aa that neither a cry nor a

groan escaped him,

“ It was indeed most painful,” was

the noble youth’s reply; “ hut nn angel

Among the delightful employments of many of our young people during

these early Spring dnys is the gathering of wild liowers, prominent and .most

Iriigrant among which is tho trailing ar-_ . butus, which grows quite plentifully in

these parts. .

Every day, large loads of goods from :

the depot, belonging to families from a

distance, drive into tho Grove and wind

their way through the various avenues

to their place of deposit. ..From every direction, parties are'coming fully a -,

month earlier than usual. .

and making sidewalks j and although

but a few days have been occupied thus:

far, yet the transformation .is very great

and when the work is douo the im- '

provemont will be such as to meet the

approval of all.About two hundred trees, maples and

evergrcons, havo been set- out by the .

Association, during the last ten days, ,

and they make a tine show along Ocoan ruthway, Central avonue, and in the

At the House of Correction.

To tiiat imposing looking edifice, or rather pile of buildings situated near Ho lines burg Junction, "on the banks of tho Delaware, ten miles North of In d e­pendence Hall, we directed our way on last Sabbath m orning. I t was on our p art a voluntary act, thanks to tho grace and mercy of God, not as somo of our less fortunato fellowbeings, under com­m itm ent of the city m agistrate—the gospel, ra ther than tho law being our constraining motive.

W ith an Intelligent com panion, Rev. Jam es Matthews, of the Philadelphia Local Preacher's Association, we enter ed.those im m ense corridors where sa­cred stillncMs reigned su pro we, the en­tire household being assembled for wor­ship, Guided by tho inspiring strains of a Moody and Snnkey song, we m ount­ed up, up, until on the fourth story wo entered the spacious Chapel, with its seating capacity for’over two thousand people. On a raised platform were Mr. Cattell, superintendent, and the Rev. Isaac M artin, M. I)., chaplain of the institution, the la tter warmly welcomed us to his pulpit. Im m ediately in front a lady of fine musical ability at the or­gan, and a gentleman precentor led the servicd of praise. I t was the. tender and touching melody, “ For you I atii praying.”

Taking a rapid glance around, the strangest sight we ever gazed upon pre­sented itself to our view/ Tliero were six to seven hundred persons before us of whom oyer two hundred were women. W ith the quiet order of K well-trained battalion they rose a t the/, Wave of the Superintendents hand, fllfid. closing the refrain, “ I am praying for you,” at an­other signal nil were seated. ,

The service had progressed (Episco­pal in form) up to the reading of tho m orning lessons. Dr. M artin read that wonderful chapter, tho ninth pf Daniel, while every eye was turned towards the deskj and every ear strained to catch its solemn and sublime pleadings. This was followed by singing, from the book entitled “ Fountain of Song,” a copy Of which was in nearly every hand,

“ Oh. th ink o f a hom e over there.B y the side of the river of light.”

We watched, with increasing interest the congregation as the singing pro­ceeded. The men were all in unpic- turesque striped uniform, the women in chcap but scrupulously, clean calico dresses. Only here and there could w o perceive a stony look, or a listless face. The great majority entered, into the chorus with zest. Every part o f the harm ony was as. well sustained as a t a H andel and Haydn rehearsal, and some of the vaiqes rose with surpassing power, as if thrilled by some memory, or hope actuated by the sentim ent so beautifully rendered.

I t cam e Mr. Cattell’s turn to read the second lesson (he often performs tho wholo service himself, we are informed) which was the^tory of Christ’s betrayal, h isagony in anticipation of tho cup, und the circumstances preceding that awful event on the hill called Calvary when H o “tasted death for every m an.;

Our good brother Matthews then ad­dressed the Throne of Grace in an ear­nest, comprehensive prayor, and after another hym n—“ There’s a land that is fairer than day,”—had been • spiritedly sung, Dr. Mnrtin introducedthe preach­er of tlio m orning. H e said, for the first time in hie experience of four years in the institution he had tlio gratifica­tion of yielding his pulpit to a member of the Philadelphia Conference. Many of the local brethren had coine to his help, and had done excellent, service for the Master, but this was the fu st in stance when one of the regular itinerant preachers had been able to visit tho place for the purpose of preaching.

He further rem inded the inmates, of various creeds and professions, th a t it was no part of the. purpose o f any min ister standing there to assail creeds, or interfere with private religious convic­tions. H e only hoped that all would listen to ,the divine Word, aiid througl its influence bo benefited and saved.

W ith our way thus gently defined we had ono of the rarest privileges of a busy and burdened life. We attem pted im prom ptu, to tell the “ old, old story of Jesus and his lovo”—a love th a t com­prehends the lost, reaching down to lowest depths of hum an helplessness, opening wide ite arm s to overy stricken heart, listening to every sob and sigh and “ mighty to save,” even “ to the ut­term ost.” all wiio accept its generous and universal provisions. God, by His Spirit, we trust, attended this simple, m inistration ; for there were lighting eyes with intelligent recognition and ac­ceptance of the tru th , and as we believe bruised and wounded- hearts, directed to the H ealer.and Saviour.

Im m ediately on closing our remarks, a now and startling emphasis was given to the appeal, by singing,, “ Rescue tho perishing.” . Then followed several brief prayers, and in full hearty accord the grand doxology “Praise God from whom

all blessings flow,” was sung, with ben­ediction by the Chaplain.

It was at least ten m inutes before the last o f th a t m otley throng in order filed out o f the chapel. The jnntron and her ten assistants moving with tho women, and a dotachm ent of tho. guard to tho num bor of twenty o r more, keoping overy m an and boy directly ; under tho eye of mild but firm authority.

Management of a Great Institution,

After service a t the House of Correc­tion on Sabbath, we had the opportuni­ty to take a look through dormitories, hospitals, and reception apartm ents of the house, all the workshops, of coursej being closed. Our respected friend the Chaplain, is a native of the Cathedral town of Peterboro,' England. Arriving in this country, with the credentials of a Wesleyan local preacher, he connec­ted him self with Union M. E . Church under Rev. G. F. K ettell. H e was also for a time in the com m union of Eben- ozcr and Bethel Churches, anil from the la tter was recoipmended to tho travel­ing connection. This was twenty-five years ago, when the Macedonian cry from Missouri for ministerial help came up to .our sea-board cities, and Isaac Mnrtin bravely adventured to the wild frontier, whore he gave teu active years of toil to the Methodist Itinerancy—all tho while fervent in m anner, fearless for liberty and right, and never flinch­ing before tho unreasoning mobs of th a t troublesome period; H is nam e is well and favorably known in all th a t region. But we found him an Episcopal clergy­m an, devoted to his bishop, the excel­lent and em inentStevens, and a t home again in the com m union of his fathers. T hat he has a warm side for h is fellow laborers of former days: wo had abun dant evidence last Sabbath. H is posi­tion is no sinecure. As the m edium of com m unication betw een ;the inm ates and their families and friends outside, giving fatherly counsel to the young and erring, sym pathizing with unfor­tunate ones, praying with the sick and pointing the dying to Jesus and heaven as well as preaching, his life is filled with activity and good works. A bettor man lor the position it would ho next to impossible to find.

The Superintendent impressed us'very favorably. A gentlem an of courtly dig-

.nity, devout m anner, fine executive ability and high character, he fills his post with honor and success, despite tho intermeddling of th a t pestiferous tribe of politicians, who are about as great a curse to the country as the frogs were to Egypt.

Among the assistant m atrons we were recognized by a former parishioner whon in charge of Salem, Miss Isabella M a^ne, She with her associates have a heavy charge, but tho endowments o f nature, grace, and good sonso, enables them to gain the confidence and love of all under their supervision.

T hat we wore pleased and profited by this brief visit, need not be stated. W e shall long retain the m em ory of our last Sabbath's services a t the House of Correction.

Jn connection with this subject, we may venture nn impression th a t the above institution, one of the latest, is ono of the best expenditures of m unic­ipal effort towards reform. Responsi­ble to society for its protection, the city has in tlio discharge of this obligation assumed also to cure for the erring, and save from those tem ptations and vices' which abound in foul liquor'saloons those who W ould otherwise be over­whelmed and lost.

Industry Helpful to Reform,

Tho inm ates of the above institution arc neither classed aa paupers norcrinv innls. Three-fourths, if not nine-tenths of those men und women are incarcer­ated for their own good, ns tlio victims o f strong drink , aiid m any of them longing for deliveranco from iis fearful slavery. God, in pity, help them, und bless all who bear to thorn ti brother's or. sister’s hand,, in the hours o f their desolation and despair 1

Dr. Cnstlo preached a powerful sermon there last Sabbath morning. Bishop Simpson addressed a. crowded congregation in the afternoon, nnd Itev John R uth in tho evening. Liberal col­lections were made to give this prom­ising enterprise a good sta rt for a pro:) perous career.

T h e Twenty-eighth St. congregation to which Rev. I .E . Merrill is appointed, have commenced the Confereneo year hopefully. A t first there was some misgiving, as the peoplo wanted a sin­gle m a n ; but on Monday evening of last week, the now pastor and family were heartily welcomed by the people, who crowded tho parsonage, and, there is every probability th a t the work will grow and prosper under his charge.

A widespread and all-pervading reviv al of religion, is w hat Rev.T. T. Everett showed, in his powerful sermon a t Trin- ity, !»at Sabbath morning, ro be the need of the times, and the salvation of the country. So earnestly did he invoke the old-time spirit of conviction,"rapfin- tauce, and a general-turning to God that loud “ amens'- broke from the peoplo who sa t in thoir elegant pews.

R ev. E. Stuism, lately transferred from the W ilm ington Conference, nnd sta­tioned a t Central M. E. Church, Vine near Thirteenth, is preaching to crowded congregations, arid his peoplo are quite enthusiastic over the prospect of a glor­ious year. In vividness of delineation he is a second Cookman, and for pulpit strength and efficiency be has few su­periors. •

C o l; M b a c h a m , whoso nam e is widely known in connection with Indian affairs addressed the Preachers’ Meeting last Monday in a very effective manner, Showing the advantages o f the peace policy in dealing with the tribes of the West. The m eeting adopted a strong paper protesting against the transfer of this departm ent to the control of the Secretary of War, Meacham says the Indians can be civilized and Christian­ized if properly treated.

R e v . G. H . A d am s, «n eloquent Col; orado minister, who is in this city lec­turing at present, was called out a t the last Preachers’ Meeting for some re­m arks concerning his knowledge and experience of Morraoniam, and gave the m eeting a stirring speech, in which referring to Chaplain McCabo, ho said th a t genial gentlem an, while once lis­tening to a eerinon in the great Taber­nacle a t Salt Lake, in which tho preach­er quoted that Scripture prediction of seven women taking hold of ono m an, as fulfilled in Mormonism, and looking around on tiie hard-featured specimens ho saw assembled, hastily whispered to a lady friend a t his side, “ If seven of these women should attem pt to take hold of me, I ’d run fof niy life.”

11 Intolerance” Ventilated,

Instead of taking us in hand himself, aa we supposed, tlio editor of the As­bury Purl; Journal delivers us over to tho tender mercies of hia correspond­ents, two of whom, in last week’s num ­ber, take up the case of that zealous nd- vocato for sobriety and social order, “ Father W alsh,” whoso recentfulmina- tiony have startled Lon;; Brunch out of its comatose condition, aiid resounded through the land like tho elarion-peal th a t heralds a now dispensation.

Our allusion to the m an was not in ­tended to be complimentary.- W herever we detect',an a rran t lmmbug, >ve have som ething o f the Journal'tt own hardi­hood i n : attem pting ic .le t a little dtiy- light tlirotifih it, regardless of favor or fear. ;

Mr. Brannin, whom we thank Tor squarely.signing his 'name, passes' over

the weightier considerations o f our ar­ticle, nnd selects a separate item in the same issue as the point of hia criticism. That our item had the tone of a “ preju­diced” mind wo are willing to adm it, but " bigotry” in every form we disclaim. I t is pretenae and Bh'am wo wish to strike down, Mr. B. “ th inks” monoy entrusted to “ Father W alsh” for the prosecution o f illegal liquoc-selling and im m orality wOuld be ju s t aa safe, in liis hands iis in ours. Thero ia no dispute here; b u t w hat could wc do? I t forms no p art of his priestly functions, and is certainly not our.province, to turn pros­ecutor, detectivo and sheriff all a t onco. W hen he arrogates tohimaelfoffices and duties in no way relevant nr congenial to his proper calling, it is primu fade evidence th a t lio is a charlatan. His fiery ardor in this lino anybody can seo is al! moonshine. H e proclaimed tliat ho had discovered a .law-breaker in his congregation who made aw om an drunk, but where is tho culprit? Does ‘' Father W alsh” deserve " great credit” for thia? Ib this ''practising’’ what ho preached? No mattor now, Mr, B., about “ niiode m eanors’’ in a general sense, or concern­ing any particular “ Father.” If you can point out ono instanco in which this Long Branch reformer has aided,- or may in tho near future help to con­vict an illegal runiaeller, an incendiary; or any other crim inal of his devoted flock, wo repeut what we before stated, th a t the case will greatly modify our present estimato of the R om an Catholic priesthood.

Then comes ii. "M ethodist” to tho de­fence of "h ia royeronco," w ithaam uch noise aud clutter, by sounding epithets, aa a Chinese yttu-guivrd with their tom ­toms and kettle-drum s, to scare tho at­tacking foo. To his question aa to whether we “ bclievo th a t it w beyond the range of possibility th a t a Catholic priest can bo a good, honest man, and a sincore reform er and well-wisher tb hiB fellow-men, especially to those who are m embers of hia own church?” wo are free to reply, We do not. “ Posaibility” ia a very extensive margin, and wo are charitable enough to give the cose as stated so vnguoly the benefit of a doubt. W ith ouch u eyatem, howevor, to bo good, honest, and sincere ia no t the ru le; it may be tho exception,although wo can­n o t cite maiiy instances, and do not ac­cept oven the character and career of “ Father Matthew” as a shining exam­ple. W e knew him personally whon he began his mission. W o followed him in hia woll-meant labors; b u t never wero able to m ark any-dim inution in tho num ber of groggeriea kep t by poople of hia faith, o r drunkards after his pledge. There aro .about one hundred and ten thousand m en and boya of tho Rom an Catholic perauaaion now enlisted under the cabalistic letters, “ T. A. B.,” and they are training in their secret lodge- rooms in tiie manual o f a n m I- Their ob­ject, aa the future m ay aoon develop,- is not m oral reform, but in the hoary in­iquity of distilled Jesuitism —conquest, power? Wo give dur com placent “ Methodiet” critic thia bit of history to solve hie wondering q u e ry : " W hat line a m an’s religious belief to do with tho question?”

How easily a good “ Methodiet” may be hoodwinked with tho cry of charity, toleration, fraternity,—and rem ain in blissful ignorance o f tho fact that weav­ing around his liberties, religion, and life, are well-planned influences to sap and destroy them all, and thia without the slighteat pretension Of “ toleration” from a priesthood banded against light, and unscrupulous aa to any means that m ay accomplish, or, aa "M other Church” liaa taught for these tivelvo hundred yeara, "sanctify” the cndl

“ The average Roman Catholic” will hardly thank this “ Methodist” apolo­gist for the soft im peachm ent th a t we are better educated and moro intelli­gent than tho priests. This wo do not claim. Tho “ head and front” of our " self-conceit,” and the apparition to our disturbed “ Methodist” brother of a hor­rible “ cloven foot” may be accounted for when we aasort th a t the m ail- prieat or parishioner, Mqthodiat or Mohamme­dan—who bitterly libels tem perance people, invites you ti) tako a glass of liquor if you. need it, and avowB that persons may bo decent and reapectablo who, under any circu mstancea in theae days, soli the stuff th a t maddens men, makes fiends of women, leaves children orphans nnd paupers, is not a genuine reformer. •

I f “ Father W alsh” is correctly re­ported, the above iB his position; and let a “ Method ist” Bay what ho pleases about bigotry, we seo but little to hope for aa long aa lie gives his clerical sanction to the jbo and - traffic, of ruin, and de­nounces ae .fauatics ail who labor and pray for its total prohibition.

H aving previously m ade affidavit of these facts a t the office of Mayor Mc- George, they proceeded to the Grand Ju ry room, where the hotol-keeper play­ed a sharp game, by enticing away, the .witness, giving him one dollar to l«#,ve the place, and when needed for >4 wit­ness the young man could not ho found. Not willing to give it lip so, the Glouces­ter county Tem perance Alliance made objection before Judge W oodhull against tho landlord of Clayton as not a fit per­son to keep a hotel, :

Tlie case was laid over until Tuesday, April Othi. for a bearing. : At the ap ­pointed ti’me.a large num ber of, witness­es appeared for the prosecution, and also for the defence. I t wiis. clearly proved,beforo tli o Court , arid tacitly ac­knowledged by- the dei'eiice, th a t Mr. Steel m an had sold liquor to minors, had allowed gambling over his bar, that "lie had tam pered with the witness, who would have appeared before the Grand Jury ; and yet this m an was granted a. license to sell rum , with a few words, of good council to be more particular i» the future about soiling liquor to minors, and also in regard to gambling for drinks.

In the evening the bar-room in Clay­ton wos brilliantly lighted. So wns tho M, E .
