Services on Fast Day.


The only public religious observance of
Fast Day in this city, was the union meeting
at the First Baptist church. The house was
well filed, the congregation being made up
of representatives from all the religious socie-
ties in the city. The preliminary services
were conducted by Rev. Messrs. Ecob, Pen
ney and Martin, and most timely and able
sermon was preached by Rev. A. V. Tilton.
The brief abstract which we publish below
gives but the merest outline of the discourse:
The preacher, after abiding to the occa-
sion, as calling attention to our concerns with
the authority both ofthe State and of God, an
nounced as his text, the central truth OF
summary of civil relations and duties, as de-
clared by God in. Romans l3l-7: "The
powers that be are ordained of Cod Sub
iect The recognition of God in Civil Affairs.
LIST. God is the auihorizer of all civil au
thority. This is the fundamental reason for
submission to "the higher powers" literally
''the authorities being over" us. AL civil gov
eminent is meant, without regard to form or
place or age. Civil authority, as such is au-
thorized by God, and has jurisdiction within
the sphere of the two general classes of works
of ali mank ind, the good, and the evil. For,
also, representative of God, the minister of
God he (,he civil authority is to thee, eye
must needs be subject not only for the wrath,
but also for conscience's sake" The affairs
of the State are not only matters OF political
economy, but also of religious recognition OF
God. There are things TO he rendered both
"to God" and Caesar" "FQr for tins cause,
pay you tribute also" The Government cur
rency bears the "image and superscription'
of State, and also, under New Testament
light, the act of authorization by God. Inc
word and the conduct of our Lord, ana ms
| tory also, confirm this truth. Thou couldst
have no power against me except it were CIV
| en- thee from above" said Christ to his Judge.
| The officers who came out to arrest him, fell
| to the ground as dead men before the Lord
| of ALL" until He gave himself up to be bound
| and led away to judgment. The history OF
modern civilization continually shows that
all true progress and prosperity OF enlight-
ened nations is in proportion to the active
power of religious consciousness in the lndi-
viduals who compose society and make the
Stste. "Them that honor me l will honor"
saith the Lord
| I'd. God has declared the chief ends Of
civil government. In our context these are
s'the praise" of ''good works" and the "ter-
ror" of ''evil works." specially the "ven-
peance" of "wrath" to the "evii doer." Pri-
yate avenging has been forbidden in the Scrip
ture lust preceding. For vengeance is mine,
I will repay, saith the Lord" The civil au-
thority is Gods judicial representative. "If
thou do that which is evil, be afraid, for not
| In vain does He wear the sword; he is the
| minister of God, en- avenger, for wrath to him

FROM HALIFAX.

Halifax, n. s., IS. E. Mcdonald, Collec-
tor of Customs, gave judgment in the Allan
tic case at o'clock this afternoon, in open
court. He commended the conduct of the
officers after the ship struck, but condemned
their management from the time she bore up
for Halifax at / P. NJ, Monday, especially
the captains conduct in leaving the deck at
midnight. His certificate might be cancelled
but in consideration of his efforts to save life,
it shall be committed to revoking for two
years. John Brown, the 4th officer, is to be
suspended for three months.

English Sparroyvs.

We have received the following note from,
Gen. Tilton. and think very likely that the
English sparrows that have been seen here
recently are from his colony:
ToGus, April 18th, 1873.
Nh EDITOR: l an glad to know that the
English sparrows have appeared in Augusta;
and for fear of wrong conclusions in the
minds of any Of your readers as to the mi
gratory habits of those birds, feel bound to
say that imported some of them in the fall
of 1871. They were kept confined in an up
per chamber until last spring, when they were
liberated. They were seen in the fall again,
for the first time subsequently TO their liber-
alton, having sought shelter during rain
storm. 1t is probable that your sparrows are
pioneers gone out from my colony, who are
still denizens of the woods of Togus.
Yours truly,

We learn from a circular that the Sixth
Army Corps, Army of the Republic, will be
held il the Temple Of Music, New Haven,
Conn, on Wednesday, the 14th of May next.
at 10 o'clock A. NJ. There are doubtless
many members of the 'old Sixth" in this
vicinity, and as a large representation at this
meeting is desirable, we call their attention
to the call and urge their attendance.
Business was quite generally suspended in
this city on Fast day. the people appropriate
ing the hours principally to recreation and
rest. We are glad to record, for the good
name Of our city, that cases Of drunkenness
were extremely rare. The weather WAS the
most spring-like of any with which we have
been blessed this season. Some of the boys
who had outgrown the game of marbles, spent
the day in riding horseback, sapping or gum
ming in the woods. They report two or three
feet of snow yet remaining in the woods.
lThey found game very scarce.
We regret that it was deemed necessary to
accept the bids of parties outside of the State,
for the furnishing of uniforms to the militia
|ot Maine. Several responsible firms in Port
land and Bangor, submitted proposals for
ioing the work, but their proposals were
rejected because the figures were somewhat
higher than those named By the New York
parties. Sending some $4,000 out of the
State, for work that can be done just as well
in the State, is not exactly the policy to en-
courage home manufacturer Doubtless the
awarding board felt justified in accepting the
lowest bid.
