Tn. sermons Yesterday.

What was indeed the first Sunday of sum-
mer was celebrated by the dedication yester-
day Of the new Presbyterian church in West
Eleventh street and the laying of the corner
stone Of the new Catholic Church of the So
cred Heart in Brooklyn. At the former the
opening sermon was preached by the Rev.
DR.. Adams, and at the latter Bishop
Laughlin delivered an address. These
were the most interesting occasions apart
from the regular sermons at most of the
churches, of all which we present very
full reports this morning.
At Plymouth church Mr.. Beecher preached
an interesting discourse on liberty and love in
the Christian Church, which, though devoid
of any pointed reference to recent troubles, is
especially valuable q an exposition Of his
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1874-05-11

views of duty brought before the Oongrega-
tional Council some weeks ago. He took
bold, manly, Straightforward view-what
might be called the republican view OF
the rights of scots and of Christians-and
in conclusion expressed great sympathy
with Professor David Swing, on trial for
heresy in Chicago. Mr.. Beecher, while ad-
vising everybody to stay in their sects, is
equally liberal in advising them to oonstrue
their confessions of faith according to their
condolences.
The Rev. George 81. Hepworth preached on
the atonement at the Church of the Disciples.
1t Is the same story in which all Christians
put their faith, but it is told in the HERALD,
. Mr.. Hepworth told it in the pulpit yester-
day. with simplicity and earnestness and
freshness that claim the attention of all
readers.
The Religion Of the Heart was the topic
of Mr.. Frothingham's sermon at Lyric Hall.
Like most Of his efforts, it was genial and
oharacteristic discourse, elevating the dominion
of feeling above the sway of theology. 1t was
bold and it was not orthodox. Mr.. Frothing-
ham takes issue with tho New Testament as
well as the Old. The demons entering the
swine, the cursing of the fig tree, the denunci-
alton of the Pharisees he declares the heart
reads with horror. The description of the last
Judgment Mr.. rockingham rejects as he
rejects the theory that religion is
supernatural and divinely ordained. He
boldly grappled with the subject of the
atonement taking the directly opposite view
from that Of Mr.. Hepworth, making war
on the theory and the system of Christianity,
but still pinning his faith to religion. The
sermon is one likely to attract general atten-
ton on account of its rejection of the teach
ings of all the sects and the boldness with
which he replaces the religion of the Bible
by the religion of humanity-its abnegation
of dogma and the substitution of feeling and
efforts to do good.

We give elsewhere an interesting record of
the active preparations on foot in the world
of star gazers with regard to the great astro-
nomical event Of next December. 1t will be
seen that though the world has been thought
to be too much with us ''late and soon'' it
has not had an altogether paralyzing effect
upon our aspirations tor other knowledge
than what its transactions afford No better
answer could be given to the charge of the
deadening influences of materialism in current
thought than to find, as we do now, that on
interest international and worldwide groups
itself around subjects SO purely scientific as
those which this great astronomical observa-
ton involves; and an interest so sincere and
extended as to be like general enthusiasm.
To see great nations appropriating large sums
of money, and sending out their timely and
well provided expeditions-not to slay ene-
mics nor occupy new lands-but to make pic
lures Of the shadows, and count the seconds
of the passage of one planet across the face of
another-may indicate that the material as
poets Of modern thought are those that
promise the greatest results. In astronomy
and in applied science the transit of
Venus is very much such fact as occurs
every day in the life of our harbor pilots
These hardy fellows in bringing q great ship
into port keep in their minds constant
knowledge of their whereabouts by the rela-
ton in which they stand to distant objects on
shore. If big tree on the Jersey shore
shows fair against white church steeple
farther away on the Jersey shore the ship is
perhaps where she should be, but if the tree
cannot be got at the right point the ship is too
far one way or another. So when Venus
crosses the suns disk the shadow she casts, the
time she takes to pass and similar facts will
give us the bearings of this good ship, the
world, and tell us probably better than we now
know Just where she stands with regard to
the sun. 1t is our distance from the sun
especially that it is hoped these observations
will determine, and this determination is very
important, for great part of the science OF
navigation depends on the accuracy of our
knowledge Of this distance.

A New TREATY.-Mr. Washburne our
Minister to France, and the Due Decazes,
the French Foreign Minister, signed, on
April 28, the postal treaty between France
and the United States. The DUO will submit
the treaty to the National Assembly as soon as
it meets. The date when it shall come into
operation has not yet been fixed, but Mr..
Washburne, on the part of the American gov
ernment has requested that it shall be soon.
and proposed next July. The terms of the
convention have not yet been published.

The Arkansas troubles are not yet ended,
Baxter failing to acquiesce in the terms pro-
posed by the Attorn ey General and appealing
to the President to permit the Legislature,
which is to assemble to-day, to at once con-
slider and decide the question. This PROPOSE
ton had already been rejected by Brooks
The whole thing is mere technical
objection, and the refusal to accede to it
by Brooks is as well merely technical. The
Legislature is as capable of deciding the
question now as two weeks hence and two
weeks hence as now. Why Baxter should
object to the delay or Brooks insist upon it
we cannot understand. At the same time the
proposition that the Legislature shall meet on
the Oath inst, instead of to-day, is the plan
of the general government and if
the President thinks it wiser to
wait till the later day Baxter
must be compelled to submit The plan of
settlement differs in no essential feature
except in time from that to which he declared
himself willing to accede in the beginning,
and there is no reason why he should be un-
willing to accede to it now His letter to the
President, which we print this morning, Ger
tainly gives no adequate reason why the
slight delay under the Attorney Generals
plan would be dangerous. The country
would certainly applaud the plan of both
men standing aside and patiently waiting for
the verdict of the Legislature, acceding to it
when it is made This Brooks has promised
to do if the Legislature is called for the Gath of
May, and Baxter makes the same promise if
action is allowed to be begun at once In such
dilemma there is no other why than that the
will of the Executive shall rule, for in any
event the President is bound to see that the
peace is preserved in Arkansas. We hope to
be able to record the acceptance of both
claimants of whatever time the President
thinks will best subserve the public interests
and that the people of Arkansas will in due
time obtain peaceful and satisfactory settle
ment of the difficulty.

but it was necessary as O remedy against q
danger never contemplated by the political
economists. A new power, organized by the
State and calling itself private corporation
that it might be above and beyond
the will Of the people, had arisen
in the State to tax and Cypress
the people. That few men, to whom were
accorded extraordinary privileges privileges
now claimed to be above the law and the con-
stitution-should in few years set aside the
law and defy the officer charged with its exc
cution, was not thought possible at the time
the charters were granted to the railroads. As
the dangers of the new power over the people
were not known in the beginning it was only
natural that the rights of the people should not
be as strictly guarded as would have been desir-
able. But no sane lawmaker would contemplate
granting to corporation, and q private cor
poration, as the railroads claim, powers which
should be perpetual Whatever powers the
people, and having abused their trust the same
authority which granted them privileges can
now annul them. Were it otherwise the fat
monopolies of the West-the giant railroad
corporations-would successfully resist every
restriction imposed upon them in the inter-
ests Of the people and seek to prevent in
every case, as in this one, any attempt at lin
iting their extortions by blatantly crying out
against unjust and tyrannous laws. In every
aspect the question is one of the greatest i'm
portance, and in two respects at least-the
perpetuity of the charters granted to the
railroad companies, Notwithstanding their ex-
tortions, and the inability of the Legislature
to limit their tariffs for travel and trnnsporta-
tion-the position they and their counsel
have assumed before the people Is opposed to
public policy and destructive to the welfare
of the whole country.

high reputation for devotion to duty, fearless

The water police in 1877 numbered ninety
two, while last year only twelve policemen
were employed This is certainly good
showing and if similar economy and ef-
fciency had been displayed in other municipal
affairs the '.reform" administration would not
now be regarded as but little better than the
rule of the Tammany plunderers.

INCREASE OF WATER RENTS The revenue
from Croton water collected during the years
1872 and 1873 shows an increase of 1912, 900
over the two preceding years under the old
Tammany rule The average increase in pre-
vious years since the introduction OF Croton
water in 1S43 was only $4,000. AT the same
time the cost of collection last year was only
$4,000 against cost Of SlS0.5oo in 1871.

The MAY ANNIVERSARIES. Regularly, year
after year, with the returning month of May,
is New York favored with visits by the various
religious societies More and more in fact,
does New York city become the favorite
centre for these religious gatherings. We are
already in the midst of this annual religious
excitement Some of the societies, as will be
seen by our reports this morning, held their
FIRST services last night, and during the course
of next week large number more will
organize and proceed to business. All these
societies are doing good work-some Of them
among the poor and neglected at home and
others of them among the heather abroad.
The reports of last year labors, tits expected,
will be more than usually interesting. We
bespeak for the different societies, oil of which
are engaged in the service Of the Master, the
kindly consideration and encouragement OF
the Christian public. Funds are needed to
continue and extend the work which has been
begun. New York, we doubt not will show
it, wonted liberality.

TIE CIvu SERVICE EXAMINERS have made
a report of their work during the year, from
which it appears that while they examined q
good many candidates in different parts of the
country very few of the successful ones have yet
received appointments. Most OF the report is
devoted to defence of civil service reform
and complains of the inadequacy of its appli-
cation. In plain phrase the report means
that the civil service rules have been disre-
garded in general practice, and their applica-
tion TO the service is q blind for the people.

The Coal MINERS at Jacksonville, Athens
county, Ohio, are now out on strike. A reign
of terror has been inaugurated by the union
men. Late on Friday night the union men in
great strength fell upon the citizens, and
scenes of the widest violence ensued There
can be no solid objection to men uniting for
the purpose of protecting and advancing their
own interests by legitimate means; but when
violence is resorted to, as in this case, the
authorities ought to be held responsible for
the punishment of the law-breakers. We hope
to hear that the authorities of Athens county
have proved themselves equal to the occasion.

inc instance of selt-sacrifce for the sake Of

when it is affected very much as Mount We
suvius is, and when it can find relief from its
internal agony only by getting rid of dis
turbing elements. Some of its very best young
to leave the arms of the mother church, and
q great many more are in the act of packing
their trunks A few Sundays since Rev. Mr..
Sabine, in o very manly sermon, gave ample
reasons for not remaining under the old roof
any longer. He refuses to go into the pulpit
with ball and chain. He prefers being .
Chistian minister to being simply an Episco-
palian. The rigidity of the Church, its inelastic
methods, its demand that every one shall
travel in the beaten path, and, while Boosting
Of being q member OF the only Apostolic
Church, shall refuse all practical fellowship
with the heather of other religious sects, arc
sufficient reason for stepping outside Of
sectarianism and becoming courteous Chris
tan minister. He gives up an assured DO
sition and salary for the uncertainties Of .
new movement and small congregation.
The clergy are not over much given to in
dependence either of speech or act, and
though heroic enough to accept large salary
sometimes show an evident reluctance to give
it up. There is too much mandy PANTY SEN
timentalism, too much fattery, too much cos
setting connected with the ministry to give
the manly qualities full and fair play Lesa

Brother Glover was pretty big man in a
certain old Connecticut village He would
swear a little sometimes, but when he sub.
scribed $500 toward rebuilding and rcfitting
the old church, that special act Of charity
covered multitude of sins. Brother Glover
had big voice. There was no time, or tune
in it, but he beloved as he pleased IN church
singing. When the rev church was finished
it had to be dedicated and choir was care
fully trained to do the singing. Brother
Glover was not one of the choir, ard the in
tention was to rule him out of the vocal exer-
cises. The choir had carefully rchearsed a
new dedicatcry hymn and everything was
ready for the interesting ceremonies. The
church was crowded, and Brother Glover was
in his place in a front pew, as large as life.
The new piece was struck up and Brother
Glover's voice rose loud above the organ,
There.was a pause. The organ and choir
were mute, and the latter were mad. The
minister, looking at a fly on the ceiling, eX-
planned that it was new piece, which the
choir alone had practiced, and requested the
congregation not to join in the singing. The
piece was recommended and again Brother
