II for a moment. We are not debating 70 the Rev.
Mr.. Kalloch; We are not even blaming him; We are
merely discussing a question Of taste involving
question of morals; end cannot help feeling and
saving tLat If We were a Christian minister, II
would give u but little solid satisfaction 10 be the
recipient Of jostling and vulgar ovation and to be
made hero in the pulpit because we hsd been, no
matter how unju.tly made hero in the dock.
So much for the Rev. Mr.. Kslloch. OF his
congregation gathered together On Sunday last
We are not prepared TO speak in terms OF the
highest respect. If there were in Boston but
one edihce dedicated 10 the service of God. and II
that edifce were the fremont Temple, We might
look with larger compacency upon the rush
ing, struggling and shouldering crowd of wor-
Slippers. But We believe that there are some
thirty or forty churches in Boston in which plain
person, with small taste for novelties may confess
his manifold sins and iniquitles, and may thank
Heaven for lis unmerited blessings. Why man
should risk his salvation by not efecting an en-
trance 10 say nothing of the tails Of his coat even
should be succeed. is more than We can compre-
hend. If the officiating minister. in addition To
the exiraneOus charms of the indictment and trlr,
had been laden with message as pregnant as that
which Paul proclaimed upon Mars Hill-a decara-
ton Of the Unknown God-the people of Boston
could not have been in a state OF higher excite
ment We have not yet the statistics of this
Pentecosta season. There were more than
three three thousand gathered together. but were
probably less than three thousand converted.
This NAV or may not have been the fault of the
Rev Mr. Kalloch: although we must own that be-
tween his sermon aud that noble one by Peter,
dwell at Jerusalem" the resemblance is of the
slightest. But on the whole the memories OF many
must have been marveously quckened, particularly
"a TO old sins of Thespan nature, for there has not
been such crush in that street since the dcyotees
of the drama when the Temple was manged by
Mr.. Barry paid monstrous sums for sight OF
Fanny Kembe, and fought like madmen for a
glance at Fanny Ellsler.
For our own sake we are glad that these dongs
were in sober and sanctifed Boston. Had they
happened here. We trembe to think of the re-
proof, the invective the blistering sarcasm which
would have crowded the columns Of the Boston
newspapers-of the comparisons which would
have been instituted, Lot in the least TO our adj
vantage, between poor Gotham and Sodom or Go
morrah Here we simply depose offending Bish-
ops aud deprive unfaithful curates. Barnum has
had almost everything in his Museum, from mum
mics and mermads up to mastoions and megathe-
RUINS. Let US hope that the evil communications
of Boston may not corrupt our New-fork manners;
and that il may be long before the present canvas
clores of the Museum may be changed for the coun-
terfeit presentment of a clergyman in difficulties.
