The Address of Bishop simpson, on the oc-
casion of laying the cornerstone of the Methodist
Metropolitan church, on Monday afternoon, was
both appropriate and eloquent. ltisthe design Of
the trustees, we learn, 10 publish II In pamphiel
form, in accordance with the request Of many
citizens. There was one passage in (which hap
PLY blended both the religious and the patriotic
feeling, and is TO the following effect: "a wise
man said that cities are plague spots on the body
polite, and our own Jefferson uttered a similar
sentiment He spoke of cities as being injurious
to the community. go TO New York, Philadel-
pha, and Baltimore, and almost wonder how the
public peace is preserved; bat l forget not that
there shine on the darkness the rays of life and Of
glory; that on this mass of purefaction there is
the influence Of Gods word; thatthere is a moral
temperature working this mass. When ! re-
member the Christianity which cast devils out OF
the demonacs and sent them home in their right
minds I can say, let cities extend their borders
let thousands congregate. Only let Christ be In
the cities, and all will be well; for he who can
convert one soul can control thousands OF millions
When we look at this city, on the banks OF whose
river sleeps the Father of his country, peaceful
silence there, the morning and the evening. beams
coming over his grave, say, in this metropolis,
let the cross OF Christ be erected. On the Capitol
let the stars and stripes float the breeze, let them
fash in the solar light. Let the stars shine Tor
ever there. Not one misplaced or dimmed. But
higher than the stars and stripes, but broader
even than our counirys flag let the cross Of Christ
shine out that the nations of the earth may be-
hold its glory and millions bow beneath its sway"
