TEMPLE EMANUEL.

Sale Of Pews-An Ovcrnowing Treasury
The reguSr sale OF pews in the Jewish Temple
Emanuel, corner Of Forty third street ana Fifth
avenue, took place yesterday forenoon. There were
still l27 pews unsod, and the constitution and by.
laws OF the congregation require sale yearly dur
the month Of September, until all the pews have
been disposed OF. Punctually at ten O'Clock Mr..
Myer Stern OF the trustees Of the congregation
ascended a small stand erected IN front OF the
pulpit and declared that the sale would COM
mcnce He stated the terms OF the sale, which were
as fOllOws:-Each pew for sale mad been appraised
by the board OF trustees, and the price affixed 1t
was dnal. The competition among purchasers
would therefore be only as to the premium to be
paid for the pew over and above such price. That
premium must be paid in full at the time OF the
delivery OF the deed for the pew together with one
half OF Its appraised value; the deferred payments
the rate OF seven per cent per year being imposed
upon the amounts remaining due.
1t was al once evident that there was
not much bidding to be done, the trustees
being perfectly satisfied with the present financial
condition OF the congregation. Their receipts last
year were no less than $9262 while the actual ex-
penses OF the church were only S3S,l79, enabling
them to make donation to the Hebrew Orphan Asy-
lum OF over $4,000 However. three pews were
sold. bringing, with the premium, over $1,000 into
the treasury the rest being rented at prices varying
from $3.50 to $3.50 per year.
AT the Synagogue Shaarai Tefila the selling and
renting OF pews was also made the business Of the
day. Here the sales were made privately varying
from $500 to S., 500 per pew and over one hundred
seats were rented at prices ranging from 500 to
$500 per wear.

mon by the Pastor, Rev. MIR. Rice.
Foremost among the Protestant Episcopal churches
of Jersey City Grace church. at the corner OF Erie
and South Seventh streets. The pastor, Rev. Mr.
Rice Is Of the most earnest and yet unassuming
laborers In the cause OF religion. Nothing sensa
tional penetrates the sanctuary no datribe or
nvecve against the heerodox ever escapes his lips
In the pulpit or out Of IL. Quiet, retiring and eX
emplaiy in bis demeanor his great success as a
pastor lies In the fact that MS practice Christian
never conflicts with his preaching.
His text yesterday at the morning service
from ST. Parl-''rbe Old things have passed away;
behold. all things are be.oine newt The APOSTLE
desires to convey by this expression that there Is
complete change IN Christ, embracing the heart
within and the life without. He does not insinuate
that irai nature Is destroyed for In that case
there would be conflict with SIN; bnt the heart is
so changed and the affections SO transformed that
the man hates sin. Tnere IS great difference be-
tween the Abandonment OF an evil habit and
change OF heart from the slavery OF the devil to the
love OF God. The tree may be cut down, but the
sprouts will spring up and become not one, but
many trees, so tnat the last state OF that man Is
worse than the frst The preacher then exhOrted
his congregation to practice the lesson laid down in
the sermon, 80 that, while pr0Ie ssng themselves
Christians, they would be really changed m heart.

BROOKLYN CHURCHES.
A NEW CONGREGATION,

Rev. Hugh smith Carpenter at the Poly
technic Institute.
Since June last religious services have been held
every Sabbath in the chapel OF the Polytechuic
Institute, in Livingston street, where the Rev. Hugh
Smith Carpenter, earnest and eloquent minister
of the Gospel, preached to a somewhat small but
gradually increasing congregation. Mr.. Carpenter
was formerly from Portland, Me-, where he presided
very large church of the Presbyterian denom-
nation; but for number OF years prior to last
spring he was pastor Of the Westminster Presbyte.
rian church, in South Brooklyn. Last spring, how
ever, he
HAD SOME DIFFICULTY
with portion Of the congregation there and re-
signed the pastorate. A number of the members
OF the congregation who espoused his cause Joined
with him and commenced the formation of a new
church. The chapel OF the Polytechnic Institute
was secured, and there Mr.. Carpenter mas been
preaching since June, as before stated. The move.
ment has been attended with such that they
all encouraged to continue 1t until their object
shall have been fully attained. 1t Is the Intention Of
the pastor and congregation to make this free
church.
Mr.. Carpenter is apparently about fifty years OF
age, and his discOurses are characterized by re-
markable force and elegance which, when COM
bned with the preachers earnest delivery, place
him among the ablest ministers OF the City OF
Churches. Although the new church is now in its
ae sansdns arS 10 %
Mr. Carpenter preached yesterday morning before
a comparatively large congregation, selecting his
text from Joel H.. 27-"And my people Shall never
be ashamed"
Shame, the preacher said, was at once the most
delicate and the most tyrannical condition OF the
human mind. None other was SO subtle, and none
other so sweeping In its reach. Shame vetoed the
most vehement lncnations and checked the most
intense designs. There might be observed, he con-
tinued,
TWO KINDS OF SHAME
That which related TO our external circumstances,
and that which regarded our internal condition.
Pride and vanity presented one aspect Of shame
God intended that He Himself should take conspicu-
delight in all His people therefore they were
TO be embOldened in His name. Gods people, In the
first place, should never be ashamed OF their faith In
Him, and IN the second place, should never be
ashamed in their faith 1t was however, that the
Almighty always placed himself in such an attitude
upon this earth that mankind could love Him dis
card Him, that the human heart could exult in Him
or despse Him. This to make the affection
offered Him . moral reality. He saw fit to present
Himself IN such an attitude that they could choose
or refuse Him.
Mr.. Carpenter, in the concluding portion OF his
DISCOURSE referred to the trials OF Christians early
days. saying that TO be witness tor Jesus TO be
martyr and spoke of the promise Of the LORD con-
tanned In the text that His people would never be
ashamed
Mr.. Carpenter also preached in the evening.
