Cold weather and Warm Religion

Cold Weather and Warm Religion.
The extremely cold weather yesterday put
New Yorks believing Christians to sharp
test of their devotion to the service of the
Lord. The icy blasts, however, found the
followers of Christ prepared to brave them,
and the churches were well filled. This
could not be otherwise with people holding
dear the memory of those sturdy pioneers
who went through the winter SHOWS armed
with a.musket and Bible, to the chilly,
hard d-benched meeting houses Of New Eng
land two centuries and half ago. The
sermons, telling, in language hot enough to
warm the shivering Puritans, of the flaming
eternity prepared for sinners were. however,
wanting yesterday We have patent heaters
now that make our churches comfortable
and allow the preachers to give US sermons
cool and balmy enough for O summers day
so that he who looks over our religious re-
ports will search almost in vain for hot
homilies to set off the polar weather. Mr..
rockingham was coldly philosophic. He
discussed faith vs.. reason at learned length
and concluded that the day of unreasoning
faith had gone by. The Rev. Mr.. Hepworth
joins issue with him on this and rebukes the
man who would rely on mortal knowledge
Don't worry" he says; ''if you have faith
in God you have everything" 1t may be
winter without, but in Plymouth church
Mr.. Beecher gave out a breath of spring
when he said that the man who patterns his
life on Christs will be filed with tranquility
and will blossom out in JOY. He preached
Joyous, warm-hearted God Of sunshine
very grateful to the man who does not be-
lieve that fasting and frowns are essentials to
sanctity and acceptableness to the Great
Judge. DIR. Armitage preached campaign
of hbliness with a vigor that shows he does
not believe that the army Of the Saviour
should ever so into winter quarters,
but push the war on Satan. In
this long struggle the ground is
never too heavy for operations.
Mr. Talmage, who takes his illustrations
from anything of current interest, did not
allude to the weather, but followed the
\ young man of to-day through the tempta-
tions that beset him. He said, among other
things that he never has chad faith TO pray
| for an old politician" This the old .politi-

consecrates custom into q law, MS sacred as
an enactment, the running of President for
a third term is an unlawful act John
Quincy Adams spoke of two terms as our
common law" 1t is 50 clearly this that
to violate it now is the infringement of a
sacred precept of our liberties. 1t would
be the first step to the Empire, and in that
path the first step unresisted and successful
is ALL 1t may be said that the President is
not responsible for the acts of Methodist
Convention and a somewhat lively mercurial
Bishop fluent in speech. But the Presi-
dent is responsible to the country
that no scandal shall fall upon his place,
that no wrong shall be done to the constitu-
ton, that no profane hand shall touch the
ark of the covenant of our liberties. He is
more responsible for the Boston Convention
than Bishop Haven. In such time and before
such peril silence is a crime. He should
have said, and at once, with fervid speech,
that the introduction of any religious ques-
ton into politics was crime. He should
have said with anger that the attempt to
keep any President in power by religious
fanaticism was treason to the very spirit
of our liberties. He should have reminded
these Needless priests and laymen that it
was their business to save souls, and that the
naming of his name in such a canting rela-
tion as candidate for President on the plat
form of true Christianity was an insult to
him, as well as to the flag which he served,
and which is the emblem Of no nobler right
than the liberty of religion. This is what
Grant should have done. On the contrary,
he has made himself a party to this nomina-
ton, and permits his name to go to the coun-
try as the leader of religious crusade as
the new Cromwell, who would violate
the constitution to become the pro-
tector of tho Protestant religion. No
President ever did an act more deserving of
severe censure And we shall hold the
democratic House as altogether unworthy if
it does not exhaust its rights and preroga-
tives as the representatives of free people
to oblige this military sphinx-who after rul-
ing US eight years, because we were grateful
for his prowess, would now rule us to the
end of his days by the aid of religious
fanatics-to show a decent respect for the
constitution, the laws and the sacred tradi-
tions of our government.

evil vision has been seen through the

THE METHODIST CLERGYMEN do not all take
kindly to Bishop Haven's prayerful nomina-
The series Of interviews with clergymen Of
that persuasion which we publish to-day
does not indie te wide acquiesccnce in the
manner Of Bishop Haven's nomination but
good many Of them plainly leave the door
open for quiet action in that direction. It
may be that the Bishop is looked on more as
a marplot than man in erroE This view
Of the case is particularly suggestive.

The WHrskEY FRAUDS are gradually ossum-
ing their proper proportions. The impulse
for several people who have felt the lash of
the law to tell all they know will eventually
mark the furthcst verge Of the conspiracy,
and then il will be the fault Of the law if any
guilty man escapes. An ugly coincidence Of
dates for General Babcock is pointed out in
our Washington despatch.

McNEILYs GALLANT RAID into Mexico,
whereby he procured the first return Of
stolen cattle ever known along the Rio
Grande, is described in our Brownsville
special correspondence. 1t seems particu-
larly hard that the Texan rancheros should
be left at the mercy Of the Mexican COW
thieves by the United States. If the brigands,
however, only know for certain that man
like McNelly is ready to cross the river after
them the cattle business will be less risky
in Texas.

In other industries the Spanish section
exhibited conspicuously the useful combina-
ton Of cheapness and goodness There was
no gorgeous display of high art, but in her
woollen, cotton, leather, earthenware and
other minor industries she was well repre-
sented. The tiles of Valencia and Barcelona
received the same medal of progress as did
Minton, of England, but with the practical
difference that the prices of the former were
much less for the same quantity. Her woollen
manufactures received the grand diploma of
honor, her leather goods the medal for prog
ress and her inlaid steel and Toledo blades
the diploma Of honor.
1t is among the many advantages and bene-
fits Of the coming Centennial that it WILL
through the eye, teach our people SO many
things about foreign nations Of which they
are now profoundly ignorant, and remove q
mass of prejudice unconsciously imbibed
For this reason, among others, we ought to
welcome to Philadelphia Spain, her Royal
Commissioner and her daily increasing ex-
hibitors.

DEATH AND DEFECTIVE DRAINAGE. Else
where we print an article which sets forth
the great injury to health and consequent
loss of life resulting from the wretched de-
fects in the ventilation and sewerage of
our most crowded tenements. While the
grasping rapacity of landlords and con-
tractors will account for the faults in
construction it must be admitted that
popular ignorance is most to blame
for allowing the faults to 60 unremedied.
If the poor who huddle and perish in the
poisonous dens could only know for them
selves the dangers they run and the diseases
they invite we are certain that matters would
soon change. But those who suffer most
from these causes are the most apathetic
Meanwhile the Board of Health, which has
Mt last placed itself abreast of the progress in
the science of hygiene as regards new build
ings, should see to it that they have their
hands strengthened 50 as to compel q reform
in the old.

The Spadra train took out eight cars
of railroad iron yesterday. 81
The twenty-seventh mile of the
track eastward from Spadra was COM
pleted last night.
The railroad construction party were
obliged to cut the telegraph wires
coming over the track some five miles
from town, on Thursday last, conse-
quently the operator here was unable
to get his dispatches through. He re-
paired it yesterday.
Mr.. Houston's steam wagon is at
Spadra, and it has been suggested to
the owner that he bring it here in
time to proceed in the procession and
haul the car of Liberty. 1t would
certainly be a novely to our citizens.
Then we might take steam trip to
Cotton. We suggest it to the commit
tee.
Recorder Wagner, on Thursday last,
gave as reason for imposing heavy
fine on two combatants, that he did
not "want to bring them down to the
level of Indians and squaws, who gen.
orally got off for $2 or So 60" This
Is curious logic for Judge. We rec
ommend schedule of prices, so that
all might know what it would cost to
