DecenaIx and in Order.

St. Paul it is who suggests that every
thing should be done decently and in
order; but it would puzzle most persons
to adopt the suggestion if they had the
mails to open and reply to which are
now daily erowding upon Governor
Bramlette. Every mail that comes in
brings him hundreds of orders for tickets
for the approaching Gift Concert, and it
requires administrative ability of no or
binary character to keep things from
getting into inextricable confusion.
Fortunately Governor Bramlette is equal
to the occasion, and all will get tickets
as long as they last. Go to 29O Front
street for information.

ANNUAL ORDINATION OF THE DIOCESE OF
LONG ISLAND

The annual ordination ceremonies OF the diocese
Of Long Island, OF which the Right Rev. A. N.
Lttlejohn is Bishop, were held yesterday at the
Church OF the Redeemer, at the corner Of Fourth
avenue and Pacific street, Brooklyn. There was
large congregation present. The Bishop was as
sisted by the rector Rev. William A. Leonard, and
Rev. DR.. Diller, rector of st. Lukes church.
Alter the morning prayers had been said and
and an anthem sung the Rev. DR.. Dller preached
the ordination Sermon taking for his text the fol-
lOwing:-
'preacn the Word; be instant in season, out OF
season reprOvc, rebuke, exhOrt with all long SUI
lerlnR and dOctrine'-ll. Timothy, w., q me dis
course was in the nature OF a charge to the young
candidates Tor the ministry, instructlng them as
TO their duty 10 the people IA the position to which
they mad been called by God. He looked upon this
occasion as one oil the most solemn which had oc-
Cured on earth to those who were about TO enter
the ministry for during the past week all OF Gods
people throughout oil the Christian world had
been engaged In solemn fasting and prayer, as
well az the bishops and oil the clergy. II was his
mission TO preach the sermon on this occasion,
and he would do all he could to aid them In
take Christ as their example. Tney must
not expect success to follow when they
mad preached an eloquent discourse from
tho pupil. They would not succeed by
teaching alone. The CHRISTIAN minister must seek
the opportunity TO teach, reprove rebuke and ex-
hort from house TO house, and thus comply with
the In junction gwen HIN they must be ''instant
IA season. out OF season." Christ was always dosDg

aid OF the sufferers from this and the Louisiana
hoods. The attendance here has been largely on
the increase since the call OF this earnest young
minister to the church, and ne bids fair to accom-.
pllsh as much good IN this part OF Brooklyn as Mr.
Beecher has SO long done at Plymouth church.

OF the thirty-iourth chapter OF JoD-"In o moment

street church, the President Mr. J. b. Cornell, In
the chair.
Rev. I. M. Eddy delivered q long address, in
which he endeavored to demonstrate the mecca
sity for the work which was done by the society IN
the lower districts. Rapid transit was Tar OF, In
deed, and these downtown wards promised to be-
come more popul0us than ever. 1t was therefore,,
necessary TO build churches in those localities 70
save hundreds OF souls. Let them hold New York
for Christ, and they would save the country ZOE
Christ. The reverend speaker expressed also.
among other things, his longing for the return 70
the hearty old style OF Methodist preaching.
