CANAL STREET PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.


Christ the Best of Lnwyers-The Prisoner
without OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES by the Rev.
David Mitchell.
Yesterday morning the congregation at the Canal
Street Presbyterian church was rendered very
small by the Indictment mood of nature out OF
doors.
The humid clouds, descending
Gently wept In rainy tears.
AND they made umbrellas the great necessity OF the
day. The Rev. David Mitchell. however, preached
with great earnestness and spirit serm on en-.
titled
"A PRISONER WITHOUT COUNSEL"
founded the sixteenth verse Of the fourth oh ap.
ter OF Paul's Second Episte to Timothy --"No mau
stood with me.n
The Apostle In this tender and beautiful passage
said the preacher, has reference to his last trial at
Rome. There was little prospect OF obtaining JUS
tice at such tribunal lie writes as II fearing lest
the murderOus intentions OF his enemies should be
carried out before he could see aud en-
brace MS beloved son. II am now ready
to be offered" Paul then had been
regularly brought up for trial. Imagine The scene.
There is to believe that the trial OF such
distinguished Christian as Paul the court room
would be crowded with eager spectators At length
the prisoner appears. aged, white.haired droop-
ing man. but with heavenly light IN his eye. and
marked by an undaunted yet reverential bearing
He is without attendant, without friends OF coun.
sellers.
ALONE BEFORE THE TRIBUNAL
he came; for he says, mo man STOOD with me-"
This certainly NAV mean that he stood alone, with
out any frends but It also means that he was with
out counsel He had no one TO plead his cause
This text them suggests the inability OF the Apostle
to pay for counsel An advocate Is appointed vir
tuay to plead tor the poor and Ignorant. who can.
not do Justice to theirown claims; but IN times OF
degradation the counsel makes money his one con.
dltiOn OF taking O case.
CORRUPTION AND BRIBERY
held sway during NerO's reign, and man like Paul
must plead his cause alone.
Secondly, the text suggests the danger to q coun
sellOr who should undertake Paul's defence. To
identify ones self with the Apostle under trial was
to aid and abet the religion of Jesus Christ ana to
incur the danger OF persecution.
Thirdly the text shows the Apostle defending
himself In
SENSE OF INNOCENCE
OF the charges made against him. Yet he pleads
guilty. for the accusation IS in substance that OF
preaching Christ, OF whom ne was follower ana
believer From his bar as from pulpit ne breaches
salvation before his judges and prosecutors.
AN EXAMPLE FOR ALL THE WORLD.
In conclusion the preacher cited this fearless for
titude an example for all the world and said that
the text pointed to the one advocate OF Christians
Jesus Christ, the righteous To him we should look
under all our trials, and at length for Justification at
the bar OF Heaven.

New YORK, Dec. 1S.--In the surrogate's
court of Westchester to-day, proceedings were
resumed III the proving of Mr.. Greeley's last
will. Reginald Hart was the first witness. His
testimony explained how witness went to Dr.
Choates house on the afternoon of Nov, 2gtb.
at the request of his (witness) father, to ascer.
tain il the will had been executed He was
accompanied by Mr.. Haines. On reaching
the house, lie saw Miss Ida Greeley and Mr.,
Stuart. Witness and they went into Mr.. Gree.
ley's room. Mr.. Greeley recognized witness
Mr.. Stuart had in his hands the last will OF Mr.
Greeley, written on Nov. 9th, and showing il to
Mr.. Greeley, asked him il it was his last will.
Mr.. Greeley answered no. Mr.. Hart then spoke
to Mr.. Greeley, calling his close attention
to the will. Mr.. Greeley raised his head from
his pillow, looked at the will aud said eyes" it
was his last. Mr.. Greeley requested that Mr..
Hart and "Aunty" Lamson should be the sub
scribing witnesses. Counsel for the contestant
asked for the production Of the deed which had
been made by Ida Greeley in favor of her sister
Gabrielle. 1t was produced. As previously re-

more strange, and witness felt convinced that

CATHOLIC LYCEUM.-The first lecture of the
course before the Catholic lyceum, newly
formed society of young men, was delivered last
evening in Mechanics hall by Rev. Father Full
ton, pastor of the Church of the Immaculate
Conception, Boston. The floor of the hall was
very well filled by quiet and intelligent audi
ence, who followed the lecturer atentiyely i'll
his account of the history, principles, men and
results of the secret organization known as the
International. The speaker said the society was
a result Of the Protestant reformation,
and had its primary origin at a time
when men became conscious of the evils
existing in society, and sought 10 remedy them
by denial of the laws which governed society
Communism, Fourierism, and other kindred and
pernicious doctrines, were also the outgrowth Of
the same condition of affairs He detailed in a
clear and interesting manner the first movements
toward the formation Of the society, and criti-
cized the proceedings of the International con-
crosses held at Geneva, Luzerne and Brussels,
mildly ridiculing the impracticability of carry
ing out the ideas advocated at these sessions.
He incidentally referred to Fenianism, and,
while not expressing himself as decidedly
opposed to the organization, spoke of
the adventurous Cuseret, of Intema-
tional fame, as having been FCnian
agent, and of O'Donovan Rosa, keeping COM
Pany in the International sense with Victoria
Woodhull and Tennie c. Clahin. The primary
deductions to be drawn from the lecture, which
was one Of rare interest and enliyened with
many amusing anecdotes, calculated to lessen
the effect Of the Utopian propositions put forth
at the International deliberations, were that the
present condition of the laboring classes in this
country is one of comparative prosperity, and
that an adherence to the present social status
would tend TO advance the moral and religious
condition of all peoples.
The next lecture of the course will be delivered
by Wendell Phillips on Il date not yet announced
He will reply to the arguments of Froude, the
English lecturer
