10 the PrOdlsais-Sermon BY the Rev.
Stephen H. Tying Jr.
Holy Trinity church, corner OF Madison avenue
and Forty-second street. was yesterday morning
crowded with
HIGHLY FASHIONABLE CONG REGArION.
Though the skies might have given reason to
church goers for coubt about continuance OF sun
shine, and 0minousy were curtalned with heavy
clouds, yet the ladies appeared In summer gsrments
- II to impress upon the stern clerk OF the weather
that, no matter what might be the humor upon him,
they al least were bound to respect the glorious
month Of June and bedeck themselves In light ana
graceful gear accordingly. Probably one reason
for the very large attendance at this church
yesterday was the statement in the papers for some
days past as TO the diculty in which the Rev. Mr..
Tying, Jr., had got himself account Of heterodox
doctrine recently preached by hlm and that he was
TO read during the service the letter 1t was said he
had received from Bishop Potter on that subject
But those who came to church prepared to enjoy
THIS RELIGIOUS SENSATION
were verr bitterly disappointed; for the reverend
gentleman never once alluded to any thing personal
to himself read letter from Bishop Potter, and,
In fact, simply preached very edifying DISCOURSE
which rather more calculated to serve the souls
Of the black sheep Of his audience than to fan the
BEGOTTES FOR IRRELIGIoUS SCANDAL.
Probably the preacher was himself aware OF the
anxiety that was riie among the congregation In
rofer ence 10 his supposed new departure;r but II
he were aware OF he did not IN the least manifest
any symptoms OF uneaslness, but prayed very de-
vouty for all the world. Besides he was very busy

After the usual exercises the Rev. Mr. Tying
preached taking his text from Mark K, 2l-"One
thing thou lackest." What is tins one thing lacking
