A Turkish tiler, being at work on
the roof of a house, fell into the street
upon a man, whom he killed without
any serious injury to himself. The son
of the deceased caused him to be ar.
rested and conducted to the Cadi.-
The tiler, confessing the accident,
stated that he would willingly afford
the son an opportunity to retaliate on
him. "Ascend to the roof where |
was," said he to the son; "I will place
myself where your father was. then
you may fall upon me and kill me if
you can"

Reform In Public Worship.

Rev. Russell N. Bellows, pastor of the new Free
Liberal Christian Society worshipping in Brevoort
Hall, l54 East Fiftyfourth street. preached yester-
day morning sermon on the necessity OF reform in
our public worship. Taxing for his text the parable
of the withered fig tree luke kill, GID the
preacher declared that at the present day many
persons in all denominations Of Christians dissats-
fed with the working of the Christian instItutions
were crying out against the Churcn like the
lord of the vineyard in the parable, "Cut 1t down;
why cumbereth 1t the grounds" Science, philosophy
and religion are all rudely summoned to appear
forthwith at the bar Of relentless criticism and to
demonstrate conclusively their right to be. This
summons religious sentiment naturally refuses to
obey and utters It's protest against what 1t calls
lrreverent, upstart philosophy. But those who find
fault with the Church, being often the friend the
enemy Of pure religion, have right to be heard and
have their objections considered. Their idea OF dis
pensing with or being able to do without organized
Christian institutions argued however, an insufli.
clent knowledge OF the needs Of common human
nature and very low and false appreciation OF what
q glorious and indispensable work the Church has
always done and Is still doing In spite OF her defects
What Is needed to bring religion TO the knowledge
OF those outside the Church not to abandon but to
reform that institution. The speaker had little SYM
pathy with those who, leaving the church to wor-
ship in their closets forget the obligation resting
upon them In exact proportion to their spiritual in
sight and power to take counsel with their fellow
men within the Church for her highest usefulness
and welfare. The reforms indicated might seem TO
some persons unimpOrtant in comparison with some
Others but the preacher believed that the inetf-
cheney OF the Church to great degree due to the
external arrangements OF public worship. Since
choirs had undertaken to do the singing for the
people there every day less and less real pras.
ing OF God with the voice. Loss Of faith
In prayer and the decay OF the habit OF real
prayer mad been serious sources Of decline in spr
tual life. The arrangement OF our churches was in
itself exclusive and inhosptabe and one great
reason why churches are not more visited by the
masses. Radical and bold reform in some OF these
apparently small things is OF the utmost Importance
to the spreading abroad Of religion. until

the courage to take some bold steps In these drec-
tons little progress in the way OF carrying the Cos

Reliance ON PrOvidcnce-DiscOurse by Rev.
DIR. Chaplin.
Rev. DR.. Chaplin took his text yesterday morning
from the Gospel OF Matthew VII, 34-"Take, there.
FORE thought for the morrow for the morrow shall
take thought for the things Of itself. Sufficient unto
the day Is the evil thereof" The preacher, in ex-
PLANTATION Of the above extract from the Sermon on
the Mount said there might be some who W ere per-
picked by the sequisiJion contained in the text and
who might feel that it was impossible to carry on
the a1airs OF life without some provision ahead.
But we must not suppose that the doctrine which
our Saviour set forth In the text condemned Joseph
for gathering up the grain in the seven years Of
plenty and providing thus for the seven years
OF famine. That beautiful lesson OF the lily.
which neither toed nor spun, could not be brought
into parallel III that connection with the ant which
tolled all summer and gathered lts food in the har
vest. We might be sure there was nothing in the
religion OF the New Testament that discountenanced
providence or industry, anything really essential
to the practical work OF life. He might tell them
aso that In the original language or the text no
such explanation is required The word translated
thOught-ln the Greek meant anxious thought, or
undue s0lictude; that foreboding care, that worry
ing anxiety, which wasted our time and strength
for the claims OF to-day, and which did not at ali
alter the claims or exigences Of tomorrow. The
religion OF Jesus Christ was chiefly concerned with
Spiritual relations, and II REQUIRED us to let the
things Of life fall into their relative places But let
them not IN any way suppose that its aim was solely
to lead us into region of contemplation divesled
altogether or earthly considerations. 1t was only
by ascending into the higher that could readily
appreciate and know how to use the lower. Suppose
man TO be employed IN making some band or joint
that was to perform It's functions in complicated
machine, was 1t not reasonable to suppose that ne
could work better and more nobly on that special
portion OF the structure IL ne knew the entire
machine than II he knew nothing but that one par
ticular part? SO IL was with the mechanism Of our
being He who was practically acquainted with the
use OF all Its faculties, who surveyed 1t from the
altitude OF the SOUL could discharge all the claims
OF this earthly life better than he who lived only for
the body and the senses Surely no one could read
that verse and infer that were to take thought
at all about anything. 1t indicated that the result
moment. This was all the opportunity we possibly
could have to act. and we had no right TO look with
unayalnV SOlicItude into the future.

Rev. O. B. rockingham preached yesterday FORE
noon 10 the Unitarian congregation at Lyric Hail.
Sixth avenue, between Forty first and Forty second
streets, the Irreligion." The
speaker who belongs to the school of humanitarian
philosophy In its broadest ana most liberal sense
pointed out the anomaly In those forms religion
which locate God for q certain purpose in place
and ignore him IN another, which carry out the let
ter OF creed ana formula and repudiate the full
measure OF their spirit. The Pharsees have been at
all times and by all religions held up as models Of
deceit and insincerity-as men who practised not
what they preached, and wore long faces and
INDUCED In pompous and pious platitudes,
and went scrupuousy through oil the ceremonies
and horror OF the Samaritans and Sadducees. OF
course they had their missions among unDelievers,
put never succeeded In making their converts any
an exact prototype OF the religions we have to-day.
The Pharsees were strict observers OF the sabbath,
man who neglected the service In the temple to 60
into the wilderness and minister to the outcast
epes They were patriots 100 and believed that

who said oil mankind were His countryme1 and
right and goodness the supreme religion Such as
the Pharsees were such are the majority OF socaed
religious people to-day. When man gets religious
he becomes mOr0se and gloomy, and distorts the
conception OF Gods benignlty and benencence py
the unhallOwed thoughts and fears OF o universal
deity existing but to enjoy the malignant pleasure OF
Furnishing mems offences. They say, with sad and
pententa voices, this world Is not worth living for
and they do all In their power to make their Pilgrim
age as dreary and unlovey as possible Wherefore
all this Has God commanded that we should pass
our existence IN fear and sadness 7 For what has
He given us the bright and laughing sunlight. the
merry carol OF the birds, the smiling landscape and
the cheerful azure heavens above ? Surely not that
we should forever Sit in modification OF spirit and
deplore the destiny that doomed Us 10 be born.
