WASHINGTON, May 2, 1859.
The horrible wet weather that prevailed here all
day caused the churches to be very slimy attended
About two-thlrds OF the pews were empty and the
big bugs for the most part made their devotions at
home Owing to the continued sickness OF the Rev.
Dr. White Of st. Matthew's Roman Catholic church,
Rev. Mr.. Kelly, OF Georgetown College, occupied
the pulpit and delivered highly impressive sermon
on the efficacy OF prayer. He dwet with much Sc
verify upon the practice so prevalent In
the United States of using profane Ian
guage. Swearing. cursing and blasphemy were
more common he thought, ttan praying in this
country 1t was deplorabe fact but alas too
true. People pretended that they were too busy to
pray, but they found time enough to curse and BIAS
pheme at all hours OF the day and In every place,
even in the bosoms OF their families II instead Of
indulgng in profane language so frequently they
would only make mental prayers for protection and
grace from the Deity, how many saints would not
the country produce, and how vastly would society
be benefited Rev. Father Mackin celebrated the
high mass 1t was expected that General Lee would
attend Christ church in Georgetown today, aud
many went there with the expectation Of seeing him,
but he did not make his appearance.

CHURCH or TIE STRANGER.

Sermon by Isishop Wightnan, or Charleston.
Bishop Mightnan. OF Charleston, s. c., conducted
the services OF the Lords supper yesterday morn
ing at the Church Of the stranger In University
square. owing, no doubt TO the very unpleasant
state OF the weather, there was very small congre
cation. After prayer and the singing OF hymn,
the Bishop proceeded TO preach from the fifth chap
ter OF the First Epstle Of Paul TO the Thessalonans
sixteenth verse, "Rejoce evermore." The preacher
said that these words sounded very strange In n
world ike ours. Whether we regarded them In the
Light OF q law or looked at them In the aspect
OF privilege, how very strange, In n world
OF sorrow, labor, tears and death did these words
sound. Addressed to the weary and heavy laden,
whose paths through life were marked with tears,
did they TO have any appropriateness TO them,
TO the vast majority OF mankindr Addressed TO the
gay and thoughtless multltudes IN tne pursuit 9i
pleasure how inappropriate these words seemed.
Yet these words IN connection Win those that IOl-
lowed, "Reloce ever more; pray without ceaslng;
simple solution These words constituted the great
whole OF experimental religion as taught by the
New Testament through all the ages Of iime, from
the beginning to tins day And, now, let him

Wardly upon the mind from without. II the CIR.
cumstances which surrounded II were adapted TO
confer comfort and satisfaction we were happy. In
the absence of these circumstances II there should
be no harmony between the mind and these outward
circumstances we were unhappy. On the other

ment 1t might be perceived that many could be both
happy and joyous at the same time. The happiness

IpstuIlption Of the Rev. q. vorberg.
Notwithstanding the very unfavorable aspect OF
the weather q large congregation gathered at the
Lutheran Church OF st. Matthew, corner OF Broome
and Elizabeth streets. yesterday morning. TO wit
ness ana participate in the installation OF the Rev.
G. vorberg, lately OF Milwaukee, but who now
comes to New York to Ill the vacancy caused by the
death OF the Rev. DR.. stohlman for many years the
beloved pastor OF the church. The services, OF q
canonical and protracted character, embraced the
elaborate formula of the Lutheran Church, and were
conducted under the lead OF the Rey. DIR. Newmann,
of Castle Garden. One OF the principal features 0i
the service was the congregational singing, con-
sisting rs 1t did In style OF music more
and less inharmonious than Is generally found IN
Protestant churches. The Rev. Or. Newman on
rising to address the congregation said that he
should direct the attention OF his brethren first TO
the amented DIR. Stohlman, who had died at ms
post OF religious duty, and secondly 10 the rev. ~.
Norberg, who had come among them 10 pfeacn tne
Word OF God. The career OF the deceased pastor
had been of such an exalted religious character and
typifed many OF the cardinal virtues that nc
commended his glorious example to the congrega-
ton. For his successor, who had come 1ronl tie
far West TO administer the sacred offices oil tne
Church, he asked the Jealous support OF the society,
hoping that he would only continue TO exc
cute the teachings OF Christ in the same
commendabie way which had distinguished nun as
q minister Of God In his Western home. The Rev:
DIR. vorberg then ascended the pulpit and preached
an exceedingly affecting ana eloquent SERMON lron
ting his duties pastor Of that church, take Tor hs
guide and instructor the Apostle Paul. Through al
the wanderlngs and preaching OF that great man,
after he embraced the religion OF Christ, there ran
the true vein OF solemn devotion TO the caus OF sal
vation. Neither by Jew nor GENTLE could Paul be
shaken In his belief and neither by reproach nor IN
suit could he he swerved from his purpose. AS he
wrote that with conviction came strength, and that
he was weak only when scoiier hna
unbeliever. 80 he, the pastor, would
say IN the light of the impressive
ceremonies IN which he had partaken that he would
promise renewed fealty to Christ and halt not before
the great work which II would be his mission 10 &C
compish. lie concluded by exhorting his audi
tors to give him their cordial support and 10 mpore
the throne Of heavenly grace IN his behalf.

.a Immortal spir'a was drawn. Thus when his crcum-
stances chadged his happiness was gone. He
became wrerk. That was strange expression Of
ST. Paul When he spoke OF the Christians Of his time
as being sorrowfnl yet always rejoicing, and
doubtless many Of them wondered how that thing
itself. Let them for Q moment follow the footsteps
OF Paul and Silas in Philippi as they were dragged
down to the dungeon with their backs lacerated.
Let them plant themselves in imagination by the
side OF that prison house ana listen. II they could
hear the colloquy between the two sufferers then
what would be the resultf Harki They clearly
heard hymns Of praise, and then 1t
swelled up to heaven an expression OF the inner
Joy of the hearts OF the two sufferers. Now then,
there Paul and Silas, who were sorrOwful; and
yet though they heard but the clank Of their prison
chains all around them; though their backs were
sore from the ctors rods yet these elements OF dis
tress and persecution had not touched the basis OF
this JOY. What were the grounds of the Christians
joy9 How could the Christian be brought to rejoice
at all and what were the causes OF his JOY the
themes upon which he was speaking to them. The
fundamental portion OF this theme which he had
been attempting to describe was full apprehension
IN the mind OF Gods Plan OF recovering mercy IN
concluded by adverting to the mysteries OF religion,
holding that If there were stories the Christian
religion should be thrown aside.

Sermon BY the Rev. DR.. Morgan.
At st. AIMS church, in Eighteenth street, near
Fifth avenue last evening, the Rev. w. +. Morgan,
d. D., delivered o sermon before delegates from
church societies OF different colleges, who were pre-
sent. Before the sermon the announcement was
made that meeting Of delegates from the church
societies Of the colleges, held on Saturday evening
last. in Trinity chapel, an association was formed
and designated ''The Brotherhood OF the Holy
Crossn The objects OF the association are to encour
age the formation of church societies in colleges and
the propagation Of the faith generally.
DR.. Morgan took as his text portion Of the twen-
tyth verse Of the first chapter OF the general epis
tie OF James-"Being not forgetful hearer but a
deed"
The reverend orator demonstrated that the relig-
ion Of Christ was more religion OF works than OF
words; OF doing rather than OF hearing. 1t was
and whose works did more TO prove His divine
origin than words could DO The religion was pre-
served and d. transmitted By those who worked or % an,

portance can now be fully appreciated The present
age often styled and justly So the age Of reason

march of advancement ..'e reverend Relusel9a9
the work on which their Brotherhood had entered
was the work of the reformation Of the whole
world; that the time was coming when Christianity
should rule supreme throughout the universe. TIE
Brotherhood should not be discouraged, but should
go on with their labors. lnfdels would tell them
their movements were slow, out right thinking
Christians would assure them that their work was
advancing. God is very slow in his works, but He
Is very sure. In their labors they would have OBJ
staces to overcome, but by perseverance they would
succeed. These obstacles would come principally
from inides, or persons outside OF the Church,
but there would be obstacles thrown in
their way by parties who are in the
Church, persons In the Church who do not regard
the Church as only Christs messenger, but who ac-
tually reverse the divine nature and make Christ the
Church and the Church Christ. These would prove,
no doubt, to be great obstacle but as great one
would be those who might be called latltudinarians.
He would rather have the bigot than the sophst,
and an inlde rather than one Of those loose Chris
tians who call themselves liberal Christians or those
with whom intellect measures everything C0nclud-
Ing the reverend discOurser asked that God might
bless the Brotherhood and bless it abundantly and
he adured them to cling to the truth of God as writ
ten by Him with a hand OF iron on the rock Reason
could not originate that truth; then let not reason at
tempt to question it,

severe rain storm has prevailed all day IN the
city, Keeping many people away from the churches.
In the morning at the Centre church Rev. Mr. Walker
preached discourse from the seventy ninth Psalm,
ninth verse; His subject was 'The glory ani honor OF
GOD as evidenced by his work In endeavoring to blot
SIN from the world" God was glorious in his retri.
outive character. but he was still more so In the
character OF an expiator An intellectual link was
Eeater IMAM physical so the moral greater than
tne intelSctuai and the spiritual greater than the
moral. Inc character Of the work was also judged
Dy the quality OF the materials used. AS In the work
OF redemption God gave himself so most glorious
was the work. In the afternoon Rev. DR.. Carroll,
OF the south Reformed church, preached his
farewell discourse, taking for his text the words
''Let me die the death OF the righteous and
let my last END be like His" His sermon considered
mainly eulOgstic reference to Christian virtues of
those members OF the church aud Sabbath school
who have died during the years Of his PASTOR
age. He spoke in nigh eulogsm OF the late Gerard
HalOck, whom he termed man like Nestor with
out the crimes OF Nestor. In conclusion he ap-
pealed to his people to be prepared to die the
death Of Christian, and then babe them
farewell, adding the hope that he might meet
them in that better world. During the opening
services he announced that since his return from
Europe he had raised $27 000-enough TO pay Off the
entire debt OF the church.s In the afternoon the
from Revelations vi: 9, 10. His subject was 'The

the stones which composed solomon's Temple and
said that that grand historical edhce cost sum OF
money equal to four thousand millions Of American
dollars. At the conclusion OF his sermon Mr.. Henry
gave doleful account OF the religious condition Of
his c0untrymen. He said the present population OF
Ireland was about six Millions four millions and
half Of whom were Roman Catholics instructed by
three thousand priests. These priests are now put
ting forth extraordinary efforts to perpetuate their
religion in that benighted land. They have
eleven colleges for the education. Of the
youth OF the country for the priesthood, and All
hallows College, near Dublin, turns out annually
hundreds OF well trained missionaries. In the town
OF Londonderry they are erecting an ediflce which
surpasses In grandeur the cathedral OF The Estab-
lisned Cnurch. Although its cost 10 enormous they
did not 60 out OF the parish to collect funds. Now
tnat the state Church is to be abolished, large fields
viii be lef solely IN the hands Of the Romish priest
hood At the present day there are one hundred
ana seventy thousand persons who can only speak
the irish tongue. The province OF Connaught
Is almost exclusively Roman Catholic and there
was no Protestant place OF worship In 1t up to late
period AT present, however, there Is a dourisning
mission there, and many converts are made notwith-
standing the assertion that Roman Catholic never
abandons his faith. Mr.. Henry appealed for aid for
the reclamation OF that unhappy land. He attributed
the benighied condition of the people to il-judged
and tyrannica legislation.
