Large Assembiy-A Sermon by DIR.
Holden ON the Gospel Of the Day.
During the absence of the rector and the Rev.
Mr.. Kramer the services at Grace church yesterday
were conducted by the Rev. DR.. Holden, rector
Of Trinity school. The congregation, though
not as fashionable as that which usually wor.
ships there, was quite as large Notwithstanding
the intense heat of the weather The Doctors dis.
course was based on the text, "And were beyond
measure astonlshed" taken from the GOSPEL for the
day. II, said he, man were perfect, possessing all
the excellence and glory Of his first knowledge
bounded only by the laws OF his spiritual being
living In accordance with the dictates OF
truth, 1t would not be necessary to urge
men to the recognition Of the planest truths,
there would be need OF extraordinary mani
festatons to convince men OF tho nearness of the
divine presence and the majesty and omnlpotencc
OF divine authority but they would instnctvely
bow In alteration OF Him by whom they are every
where surrounded. They would see His power,
love and holiness in the contemplation Of nature
and the adaptation OF means to ends in
every plant that grows, every flower that
blooms and every fruit that ripcns In the Summers
sun, ana in the multiplied variety of purposes so
admirably answered by tho several parts of their
organization, as well "a the moral inner belng-the
human lustlnct--that peculiar species OF thought
and feeling which lies above the realm
of sense. There are familiar facts OF every.

pointing out that this was the language Of
treaty, not Of alarm, and that IL was addressed
to the entire household Of aith the whole family OF
Christ The preacher then enlarged upon the nature
OF sacrifice, as the word IL used In the Scriptures
and said that there were three forms Of sacrifice
alluded to In the sacred volume. As an llustra-
ton OF two OF them he took the story Of Abraham
Offering up his son Isaac. The accepted view Of
this part OF the Bible he looked upon monstrous.

Abraham to do this horrible act, though
that this was not true was shown

the pulpit ut the services yesterday morning was
Rev. George NJ. vanderlp, Secretary OF the Sunday

Corinthians l., 2l-"Por after that In the wisdom Of

folded the manifold wisdom OF God In the plan Of
redemption. All history showed that In times past
God allowed nations to walk In their own way. The
wise men OF old wasted centuries in trying to

A HEAVY BI.AsT.-We were present
on Thursday. says the Placerville
Democrat of January 9th, at the put
ting off of n blast in the old Hook and
Ladder claim, OH Spanish Hill, now
owned by the Messrs. Blair, which was
somewhat of a new feature in mining
In this section, although practised OK
tensively further north. The claim, as
Is known, Is worked by hydraulic, the
bank ut present being 100 feet, COM
posed Of different stratus, some Of them
being very hard, and when brought
down by tho pipe come In masses
which are had to get rid Of without
wasting q great deal Of water. 10 OBJ
yIste this a drift was run under tho
bank to the distance OF a 100 feet,
in which was placed 1900 pounds OF
powder, and the drift was then closed.
Three strings Of fuse led to the pow
der. All being In readiness. the fuse
were lighted and in l3H minutes the
bank seemed to swell rs though taking
a long breath, then came the dull,
smothered report, and the smoke OF
the powder issuing through the many
.fssures. showing that the blast had
done its work. The bank was COM
pletely shattered. Those having n
knowledge of such things say it was a
complete success, and will save hun
dreds of dollars in water.
