A Terrestrial Indian Hill.

The correspondent of the New

expedition to the Black Hills
says: General Gustav is a rapid
leader, and although our train is
unusually heavy, he is hurrying
forward so fast that we shall reach
Slim Butte, the end Of the first
stage and the first point of inter
est, in about FIVE days more. No
white man has ever seen Slim
Butte, and its attractions are at
present quite indefinitely present

tiful scenery, remarkable caves,
and rare minerals there. Goose"
our Sioux guide, to whom | shall

times, says Goose, the letters and
figures shine as if they had been

the Indians think, are the edicts

sermon by Rev. Charles A. Harris on
Faith, Hope and Charity.
In the Alanson Methodist Episcopal church yes
terday morning. the PASTOR Rev. Charles A. Harris,
preached to congregation of over fifteen hundred
persons Many visitors from Brooklyn and the
suburbs being among the number. This cOngrega-
ton is probably the wealthest OF any the east
ern side Of the city. but they OF the old-lash.
Toned kind withal, responses which could be heard
all over the house being not at all infrequent. One
old gentleman, who sat near the reporter, kept
calculating "Amen " and " bless the Lord I" when
ever any sentiment OF the preachers pleased his
fancy or met his appreciation. The text was from
st. Paul's First Eplstle to the Corinthians, thir-
teenth chapter ana last verse, I" And now abideth
faith, hope. charity these three but the greatest
OF these is charity" Mr.. Harris said that
was superior to faith and hope, for they were
privaJe graces, while love III its very essence
had reference to God. He referred TO the efforts
progressing in this city having TOR their object
the reheI Of the distressed and unfortunate, and
said that IL was the quality OF love which prompted
the ladies and gentlemen to devote their time
and their substance to the carrying on OF such
noble work. The wOmen's temperance movement
in the West was reviewed at length. While 1t
might be derided and made sport OF by many it
could not help being success, as the movement
was prompted not only by love for the un.
fortunate persons addicted to the use Of alcoholic
drinks, but for the dealers in the same. Mr.. Har-
rs denounced in unmeasured terms the practice
OF the occasional use of stimulants and insisted
that total abstinence was the only remedy lOr the
evil.

CHURCH OF THE HOLY SAVIOUR

No Ground for Complaint Against Cod
Sermon by Rev. MIR. Carter.
There are few more compact and more tasteful
churches IN this city than the Church of the Holy
Saviour in Twenty-ffth street, near Madison
avenue. Built of Nova Scotia stone, and
though without steeple, its facade is quite
highly ornamented. While stranger would pause
to gaze at the exterior he would lnger longer in
observing the beauty and elegance Of the interior
decorations The attention would first be called
to representation by gas jets of golden crown
over a cross in the chancel Then also there is a
massive stained window representing Christ
blessing little children. The hight streaming

Of the music and in addition to skilled
organist there is quartet OF singers OF
through the preliminary exercises; but the music
are mostly made up OF mustc-that one does
not tire At least 1t was so at the services yester-
day morning. The discourse was preached by Rev.
Mr.. Carter, the pastor. His text was Micah, vi,
and 3-"Hear We, D mountains, the LORDS con.

CHURCH OF THE NEW JERUSALEM.

The Rev. Chauncey Giles preached his usual
sermon here yesterday morning. The church is q
small and singulary built one, but 1t is always
well filed with respectable congregation. The
Rev. Mr. Giles is an aged man, but concise in his
delivery and sharp in his ideas. He reads his
sermon from manuscript. Among other things
he said that mans path TO salvation was
through useful work-not through ideness. The
Lords arm Is under the man who works, and he
may have that spirit Of independence which IDLE
ness never brings The busy man will Lift his burden.
Love will glorly his work. Instead OF standing
.. alone, he has the rod OF divine power in his
HANDS. Everybody is on his side. Poverty makes
no difference. The Lord was born in a manager, in
carpenters family, and He ate with publicans
and sinners Man wants to aud should be, happy
to-day. There is no necessity OF waiting for it
until we reach the next world. And 1t is not the
Lords fault II we misuse the happiness He mas
given us. Natural delights are not sinful. When
the Church teaches us they are wrong It teaches
us to do without what we were evidently meant
to enjoy. We can obtain pleasure from all our
senses, and these senses were gwen us to obtain
pleasure FROM The whole superstructure for eter-
nifty is laid here and the forms OF beauty are made
to be enjoyable here 1t Is the Office OF the Church
to teach US their true value. John saw city com.
ing from heaven to him; our city must come down
from above to meet US here.

DUTCH REFORMED CHURCH.

The True Christian the Only True Noble
man-SermOn by Rev. II. b. Chaplin.
rather quaint and unique looking church,
with portion OF its front ivy-mantled, having a
somewhat venerable appearance, is the Dutch Re-
formed church, corner Of Twenty.frst street and
Filth avenue. It's interior is plain and tasteful,
and the windows OF stained glass. In the absence
of Rev. Dr. Rogers, the regular pastor, caused by
q temporary illness, the services yesterday morn
ing were conducted by Rev. II. b. Chapn. He wore
black surplice and read his sermon. He has q
clear ringing voice, and, although INDUCING in very
little gestculation' has pleasant and effective
delivery. His text was Judges vlIl., 1S-"Each one
resembled the children OF king" He began with
describing the circumstances under which the
words OF the lext were uttered. He applied this
description to Christians. 1t was not, he showed,
dress pOmp or power or outward SURROUNDINGS
that make men noble. The Christian was the true
nobeman. and the spirit Of Christianity kindling
pulses OF his nature, gave to him nObleness and
majesty. 1t was greatness and glory heaven
confirmed, and 1t pertained to the soul and to eter
llty.

FIFTH AVENUE BAPTIST CHURCH.

The Parable of the Pr0tigal Son and
Its Aessons-Serm0n by the Rev. DE-.
Armitage.
This modest, unpretendlng little church, with
out steepe or decorations inside or out, in Forty
sixth street, near Fifth avenue, was yesterday
morning completely filed by fashionable and at
tentive congregation. Rev. DR.. Armtage, the
well known pastor, occupied the pulpit. The
theme which he discOursed upon was 'The Prod-
gal Son." This minister speaks in loud, clear
voice and can be heard distinctly in the farthest
part OF the church. After bringing wildly before
the minds OF mis- hearers the sad picture OF the
prodigal son when he was in the midst of his eX-
cesses he went on to show the ingratttude of his
worthless companions who, when his money be-
came exhausted, deserted him. With no other
resource this young man, who had been nurtured
In the lap OF comfort II not luxury,
debasing employment. 1t was then that he began
to think OF home, and there was genuine repent
ance in it, He knew that even the servants In his
fathers household were better or than himself.
He wanted to go to his father aud tell him he had
sinned. There was hope, and homeward he went.
Did this son entertain any hope that he would be
received by that father again9 Those OF you who
have had prodigal sons or daughters know what
you would have done. His father had never Tor
gotten him, and had prayed TO God that he would
restore his long lost son. 1t was the ather's love
that could not give him up. What parent would
willingly give up a child2 lie ran with outstretched
arms to meet him. and with the lull compassion Of
laJner's heart 1Orgave him all.

Professor ROswold Hitchcock, OF the Union Theo-

that made every word audible to the entire

rhetorical smOOthness betOkening the pains

was the Conference Of Christ with Nlcodemus, -
as detailed in the opening verses of the
third chapter of st. John. He related how the
stories OF the miracles performed by Christ reached
the ears OF the jewish ruler and philosopher; how
the latter. In his earnest determination to see the

Church.

This church, situated in Sullivan, between

attendance. The Rev. Dr. Young q middle-aged
gentleman, OF tall stature, with very large proper
lions, is PASTOR and, although he manfests an ex-
tensive Biblical knowledge, the Doctor possesses
very harsh delivery. The congregation is COM
posed very largely OF Southern folks, who, with
the addition Off other attendants make 1t neces-
sary, as on this occasion, to place benches along
the aisles to aid in their accommodation. The an
