Rockville Centre is becoming prove bal for re-
llgious braws ana social differences. 1t is only a
few months since a serious conflict was waged be-
tween clergy and laity, and how 1t has
again broken out with renewed vigor. On
Friday last 1t was given out that there
would be preaching IN the old Methodist church ut
Rockville Centre In the evening by Rev. Charles
Kelsey, the clergyman OF the parish. Mr.. Kelsey
has long been endeavoring to erect two new
churches-one at Rockville Centre and the other at
Pearsall's Much fault was found with the old
church by tho minister, while the old inhabitants
who mad contributed to build 1t, and whose ances-
tors are inferred upon either side OF It, contended
tnat none other than the Old edhce would be al
lowed In the village. Out OF this hostility has come
a disturbance OF which the end Is not yet.
Mr.. Kelsey proceeded to the church and built o
fire and prepared everything for the evening cere-
mOny. When considerable party had collected
within, Constable Langdon appeared in behalf OF the
community and extngulshed the lights and fires
He demanded 10 know 10y what authority Mr.. Kelsey
entered the church, and In the name OF the COM
noise OF angry voices within had by this time
vened crowd OF 800 people, all seemingly In fierce
hostility 10 Mr.. Kelsey. Some cried, "Ride him on
"Tar and feather the old usurper" and many
coarse epithets, accompanied by gross profanity
BY the aud OF few friends the reverend gentleman
escaped to his dwelling and was soCn followed by
the angry tumult Fierce yelis, curses and hsses
fell thick and fast, and some shouted, "Pull down
the housen while others cried, .Bring HIM cut, the
rail Is ready and the tar and feathers are nerer'
Bat by the timely interference Of some influential
partles violence was prevented.

Father Carney True COntrit;On-Wc
should Prepare Ourselves for Christmas
Day.
High mass was celebrated ar this grand and vene
rable pie with all the impressive rites and. cere-
monies pertaining TO the Roman Catholic hierarchy,
and seemed to imbue the large congregation with
the solemnity Of the occasion, for on leaving the
church their faces shone with peculiar gloss OF
sanctity. The music was very fne and the solos
were rendered with artistic finish and precirion.
The rays OF the sun shining through the windows
reflected their brilliant cOlors upon the assembled
congregation and surrounded the heads OF the sew
era saints with golden halo that wed IN exuber-
ance with the light OF the huge waxen tapers around
the altar. At eleven O'Clock Father Carney mounted
tile pulpit and mentioned, among other announce
ments, that grand Ponthca mass Will be cee-
bra,ed at har-past eleven o'clock on Christmas
Day, at the conclusion OF which the Right Reverend
the Archbishop OF New York Will give the
PAPAL BENEDlCrION
to the assembled n0ck. He then read the first chap
ter Of Lukes Gospel and expounded the text in a
brief discourse, which was rather commonplace and
aooanded with frequent repetlonss, ps. me reverend
order that the doctrine which the latter brought from
Heaven might be more eflicacous and impress upon
the minds OF the people the necessity OF receiving
the divine teachings or Christ with undeed hearts.
Following the example OF st. John 1t behOOves us u
prepare ourselves by true contrtti0n for the
CELEBRATION OF OUR LORDS NATIVITY
In order that we may be among those TO whom the
angel promised peace on earth and JOY In heaven.
We say that are sorry for our sins-for there Is
not one among us who has not offended GOd-but
can never be sure OF our sorrow ana repentance.
We are told by the Fathers or the council OF Trent
that contrti0n consists in thorough detestation OF
sin. Ii thiS'be so how Is 1t that although we are
sorry for our past offences we fan again
inte the same sins into others OF still greater
enormitys Because we do not think Of the future,
and lack fixed determination TO sin more Our
sorrow semaRates from some human motive; We
feel perhaps, ashamed that people should think we
have been SO weak as to commit certain offence.
A true, internal sorrow Of the heart and mind is
required to obtain Divine forgiveness
THE GREATEST SINNERS IN THE WORLD
hate sin but they do not hate the causes that led
them to 1t. The man whs has, for instance, fallen
into the sin OF in,oxication should avoid the com
pan1ons who are constantly tempting him. The
reverend gentleman concluded by exhorting the
congregation to prepare themselves by true cOntr-
uon, FOR the coming festival OF our saviour.

A Suggestive Discourse by DIR. Newman
ON Penalties Of TRANSPORTATION and Mans
Hope Of Forgiveness.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1s, 1870.
Notwithstanding the cold and gloomy weather
large congregation assembled in the Metropolitan
Methodist church this morning to hear the Rev. Dr.
Newman, Among those present were President and
Mrs. Grant, Vice President Colfax, Governor Jewell
Senators Williams and Harlan, General Farnsworth
and other prominent people. The amnesty
question, which has been the principal
topic OF discussion in both houses OF
Congress during the past week, probably
suggested the subject which DR.. Newman dlscoursed
upon this morning. He took his text from Luke
XII, l4-"Forgive us our sins.'' He began by stating
that all divine truths come to US In pairs. When
ever n great doctrine presented 1t indicates an
antitheetical one. Thus the unity OF God and the
trinity Of the Godheaa form theological antlthess.
THE HUMAN NATURE OF CHRIST
IS proclaimed whenever His divine nature is an
nounced The doctrine OF the text IS that OF forgive
ness It's consideration leads to q consideration OF
some OF the fundamental principles or Christianity
1t suggests the nature and condition OF evangelical
forgiveness, the existence Of a moral covenant and
mans capacities 10 meet the divine law. The exist
ence OF moral covenant no one can deny. Those
who are disposed 10 deny revelation do not fail to
euogize al, the workings OF natural law seen In
