Contrast observe the difference be,
tween religion which God makes for
man, end a religion which man makes for
God. Man in the vanity Of his notions
and The emptiness of his pride would think
the practical precepls of the Gospel as
below the dignity Of religion. He would
think smoking altar. gorgeous temple,
sounding song of haIlelujahs. pealing
from ten Thousand voices. far more sub
lime than deed of generosity quietly done
TO poor, afflicted humble Creature, sink
ing down into The dust Of oblivion and
wreichedness. What deal of smoke
and noise there is about the religion man
makes for Godl How generous. gentle,
and blessed is the religion which God
makes for man.

EXTRAORDINARY PERFORMANCES OF DIVINE WOR-
SHY esterday morning, says the London Times
Of the 18th, Divine Service was performed at the
Institution Of the Refuge for the Adult Destitute
Deaf and Dumb, IN Barlletts Buildings, HOlborn:
The congregation was composed chiefly OF deaf
and dumb persons; and this is the first attempt at
instructing IN seriptural doctrines by public woT-
ship, that that class OF the suffering community
laborng under deprivation OF the senses OF hear
ing and speaking, ever made. The service was
conducted in the following manner, and 1t pre-
sented q most interesting scene MIR. Rosser, a
deaf aud dumb gentleman, performed, It 1t may
be 30 termed, selections from the morning service,
which was done by making signs with his fingers,
and the rapidity with which he did twas wonder
full The Lords prayer was delivered entirely BY
Pantomical gestures, and was a beautiful specimen
OF expressive silence. After the morning service,
Mr.. s. G. Simpson delivered q short but eloquent
discourse from the 35th chapter Of Isaiah, and it
was conveyed to his audience through the medium
Of signs, as he slowly proceeded, by Miss Janet ID.
Crouch, q remarkably intelligent little girl, about
8 years old, who, although aeither deaf nor dumb,
is as cOnVersant with the signs as the oldest of the
adult deaf or dumb members Of the institution
The raPidity Of the child's motion by which she
conveyed the discourse delivered by Mr. Simpson,
was truly astonishing At the conclusion of the
discourse, the deaf and dumb were asked, through
the same medium Of signs. whether they perfectly
understood what had been delivered, to which they
assented. The singular spectacle of the Sacred
Scriptures being exPounded by signs, was aItoge-
Their Of a most expressive nature. The service
will be continued for the present. at the institution
in Bartlett's buildings, every Sunday morning
1t is in contemplation to have a regular place of
worship in connection with this society, for the
deaf and dumb portion Of the community, of
whom there are in London alone several thousand,
whO will thus be enabled to participate in the be-
nefts Of the publishing of the Gospel, from which
they have, up TO the present time, been debarred
