Brooklyn, and has now accepted the responsibility
OF his new pastorate. He took for his text ST. Mark
X, 44"And whomsoever OF you VIII DC the chiefosS
shall be servant OF ALL"
In the conversation from which the text was
taken he said, Christ seems to accept
AMBITION Az A RECOGNIZED MOTIVE
or action He admits that the disciples may be
great, Dut seeks TO improve tnem and teaches them
how 10 become SO, and offers himself as an example

He explained that he, being then minister, was the
servant Oh ALL and trusted that he would De able
with the grace OF God 10 serve them faithfully He
refer ed 10 the preceding verse"W hosueycr VIII be
great among you, small be your minister" and said
he woule have taken 10 for his text but he feared

TO do II justice. he mad no anectatton when ne said
he feared the responsibility and would ask the con-
gregauon TO pray for him that he might have
strength TO bear It, He spoke OF the little ci0ues
that grow in congregations In course OF years, or

that mar the true peace OF the Church; and though
he could not say that such things existed here he

they would be avoided that the churcn might for

At the Church OF our Saviour sixth Uniyersasr)
yesterday the morning services were conducted By
the pastor, the Rev. J. NJ. Pullman, who delivered
IN eloquent and instructive sermon TO a most re-
spectacle and intelligent congregation, taking Tor
his text the ninth and tenth verses of the fourth
chapter oil Tnothy-'This Is q faithful saying and
worthy Of all acceptatlon: For therefore we have

THE CAUSE or PROGRESS
and the interests, spiritual as well as temporal ~
humanity, that no theory, however plausible, had
power 10 change fact. In rude ages II believed
that the EARN was 8 plain, but that erroneous no
ton did not alter the fact OF its rotundity and ITS
diurnal and annual revolutions. In like manner the
great eternal truths remain always the same. The
essential trnths OF the Bible stood all tests No
doubt they were all familiar With the fact that
modern investigation had
TORN 70 PIECES
the ideas originally entertained IN regard 10 The
account oil the creation as given In the Book OF
Genesis. But though our ideas respecting that great
event rave been considerably modified, though we
no longer believe That each creative act took place
IN period OF tWenUyl0ur hours yet the great 4act
remains recorded Ia the sublime words .'ln the
ginning God created the w0rldo In The words used
in his text "liyng Godn there was q deep slgniii-
canoe. Our conceptions Of God were necessarily
FAINT and inadequate. For MS part he had no pa
tIence with those who undertook TO define God
ana explain His attributes, and even circumscrihe
the limits Of His justice ana mercy.
THE GOD or MODERN PHILOSOPHY
offered for their alteration was tar from being
living God rs the idol Of wood and stone the
neathens worshippeo. IL WAS sought 10 push God
beyond our reach, TO represent Hun as an unap-
proachab!e God, who sits alone Lroodng forever.
This was but q form OF pagaDism as was the theory
which claimed that only through the Mediator
Christ could We reach the Father our Creator. In
conclusion the preacher dwet on the favorl,e, it
IL the characteristic tenet Of the UnigersastS the
FINAL SALVATION OF ALI. MEN.
IL was, he claimed, utterly inconsistent with the
attributes OF God 70 suppose that seventy years OF
life was TO Tx the conditions Of creatures exist
ence forever and forever. He did not think that
when he dea God would die TO him, that cry
from his repentant heart could reach Him, ana that
after death
THE GATES OF HOPE
would be forever closed against him. IT was more
reasonable, as 1t was more beautiful 10 believe that
the living God would, in the IulDess OF time make
the Drokeu circle whole, and be the saviour as well
% the Father and Creator OF all His creatures.

Yesterday being the first Sunday OF the month in
conformity TO the regulations for the government OF
the navy general muster was held on board all the
men-oI-war in commission, at which all hands we're
present from the commanding ollcer down to the
messenger boy. SO 1t occurred yesterday on
board The frigate Guerrero, Captain Stevens.
lying OF the Battery. All hands we're called and
assembled upon the quarterback and waist Of the
ship, ana The Articles OF War read by Lieutenant
Commander McGlmsey executive olicer OF the silip.
This ceremony is performed once each MONTH In
order that all officers and men serving the United
States may have pretty clear idea OF their duties
and the penalty inflicted for any yi0at of the laws
governing the service. The list OF Articles OF War
Ia pretty long, and 1t taxes some time TO
read them over so often 1t occurs that
tnis ceremony, following after inspection OF the
ship. It's armament and men by the captain In per-
son, consumes the better part Of the forenoon, and
takes the place Of religious services SO 1t occurred
yesterday the frigate Guerriere Captain Stevens,
and The sloop-ofWar Narraganset, Lieutenant Com
mander Dewey, and, consequently there was no
religious ceremonies OF any kind on these ships or
the Vermont. The Guerlere was, however, filed
with visitors, and many pleasant family reunions
occurred which doubtless IN a measure had the
same spiiitualizng effect as formal service. On
other Sundays church service IS held.
