We are pleased to see that there are
Jewish as well as Christian preachers who sus-
tain the views Of THE SUS as to the proper work
OF a true religious revival. The learned rabbi OF
the Lexington Avenue synagogue, DIR. HUEBsCH,
spoke thus In his last sermon:

These are SQUAD ideas, such as ought to he
welcomed from any aud every quarter. In one
respect at least DIR. HUEDsCH has caught the
spirit and the power Of the Hebrew prophets,
whom the Founder Of Christianity "came not
to destroy, but to fulhl,' according to his own
language. Even Brother MOODY himself might
learn something from this rabbi.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1875-11-25


At the last meeting held by Brother
MOODY in Brooklyn, he expressed desiro that
those who may hereafter meet the Brooklyn
converts shall notice the change in their lives 1t
was well for him TO hint at this idea, though he
did not enforce il properly during his months
labor. We kept urging 1t upon him, but not
till his closing night did he pay any attention TO
It. Yet II Is only BY the lives and ways Of tho
converts that we can judge OF the actual value
OF their experen, es under the revival. They
must show that they arc better men than they
were; that they have given up their wicked
ways; that their lives are Transformed; that
they eschew ali evil, all falsehood, and dshon-
estv, and that they exemplify in their daily con-
duct those virtues which are the visible evil
dences OF true religion. IL is because of the
Importance of this idea that We have so often
repeated IL. 1t is apt to be ignored. There are
preachers who neglect TO enforce IL. These
preachers put too high a value upon enthusiasm,
ecstasy, sentiment. emotion. 1t is often hard to
tell in what respect their converts have been
converted, for, behold they appear TO be the
same sort Of men that they were before. There
Is much inquiry as 20 tho number Of sinners
converted In BROOKLYN through the revival, and
one authority estimates them at a thous and

NEW YORK.

New YoRK, March 27.-Last evening
every available seat and ever standing
room was occupied fifteen minutes before
the hour of opening the regular Friday
night prayer meeting at the Plymouth
Church. On Beecher's table, in addition
to a basket of flowers, was a small cross
twined with vines. During the evening
Beecher said he had always had a good
time in life, which caused a smile to run
over the faces of the audience.
Mr.. Evarts and Mr.. Beecher are to-
gether in the afternoon, when they are
missed from the courtroom. They are
going over the history Of the scandal,
and have put much of the Beecher testi-
mony down in writing, Beecher has
filled two blank books with a condensed
narration of his testimony, and they are
in Evart's hands. There are some ex-
tensive preparations being made for re-
buttal testimony. When General Butler
was in New York Sunday he was subpe-
naed to testify in rebuttal in the case.
General Tracy testifes that he made no
efforts to keep Moulton from publishing
his statement.
A dispatch from Morehesd City, North
Carolina, says that Lawyer Bryan, SEN
fenced to be hung yesterday for the muir
der of Michael I. Langley, in April,
1874. in 0nslow county, has been res
pited by the Governor until September
next. This was occasioned by the re-
siUnation of the Sheriff and all the other
county officers who were in any degree
responsible for the execution OF the sen
tence. The reason given by these Off
Gals for the n-on-execution of the death
penalty is that the negro criminal be-
longed in 0nslow county and notin their
(Carterel) county, whittier his case has
been removed and tried. The Governor
had, on this account, to postpone the
execution to the Sd Of September, when
a new Sheriff and other county officers
will be elected.

PITY IT'S IT'S TRUE

That very many Of those who looked
for great things from the new Tennessee
Senator when he would appear on the
floor of the United States Senate, have
been sadly disappointed by that speech
on the Louisiana question, is a fact be-
yond any kind of doubt. The Ava
lsnche frets and worries under the
knowledge of this, and lsbors daily to
rake up some sort of a cheerful view OF
Johnson's effort, but is evidently not
satisfied with its progress. 1t don't pan

editorial in its issue containing his

attitude before the country on this vital
issue. For months and months the
Appeal has pointed to these grounds as
the only ones to be safely TAKEN etc.
But it didn't; its human nature was not
strong enough, and yesterday it came
tsarfully up to the subject in this wise;
ANDREW Johnson's speech in the Sen

knows now. Anyhow, the Appeal is sad
and takes no JOY over the great constl

for we have heard many Of his hitherto

themselves dissatisfied with and disap

The late floods washed out the east
end of the bayou bridge on Monroe
street, but the city failed to place a
fence around the spot, or lamp at night,
to warn off citizens. Last night Messrs.
Rec Vance and Irwin Dugan started out
Monroe street in a hack, and the driver
not knowing of the life trap" drove
into it. The horses tumbled in a depth
of fifteen feet, and the hack pitched
down on top of them. Mr.. Vance was
unhurt, but Mr.. Dugan received several
serious bruises. Ropes aud aid were
procured, and the entombed horses, and
the smashed hack, were dragged out.

Tomorrow will be Easter Sunday, a
day observed in the Christian Church
as Commemorative Of the Resurrection
of Christ, and corresponding with the
Jewish Passover. Various conjectures
are given by photographers as to the
meaning of the word Easter. The ven
cradle Bede, perhaps the most anelento OF
English historians. is quoted as saying
that easter or eoster is from the goddess
Eostre, a deity w%orshipped by the
heather Anglo Saxons, and honored by
festivities in April. Another word
theorist derives it from yst, a storm be-
u the eq%uinoctial tempests prevail
about the time Of Easter. Another sup
position is that Eostre, the Venus OF the
North, is the same as the Astarte OF the
Sidonians, and as the moon wal regarded
as the visible presence Of Astarte among
that people, and the festival of Easter is
regulated by the moon, there is much
plausibility in this last supposition. But
be these conjectures worth INDUCING il
or not, Easter Sunday is the most i'm
pressive day in the religious calendar, il
we regard it as commemorative Of ar
event that fxes IN the heart of man the
hope that beyond the stormy vestibult
Of this life a grander existence awaits
the perishing millions Of the human
race.

been affixed to the packages and can
celed, so that the stamps have become

Character under Ere" is the text
which suggested a mcst delightful and
thoughtful essay of one of u brilliant
journalists. The essayist wrote wisely
and well, and the application rests not
only with personal character, but applies
with equal force to business character,
whether individual or corporate.
Seldom, or never, have a people been
called upon to pass through a more cru
cial test, financially, than has been the
fate of our business community in the
last two or three years, and surely those
institutions which have stood the test of
FIRE" merit at least, the hearty good will
and material support of our people.
In this connection, as a ~policy-holder
in the company, We take exceptional
pleasure in directing attention to the ad.
vertisement and statement Of the South
ern Life Insurance Company in another
column and give such expression of en-
phatic commentator Of its management
which the results of its trial under FIRE"
as shown in the facts and figures of its
statement warrant.
As an interested party, we have
watched the progress of the company
from its inception, through all its works
and ways" and now, as it comes bravely
out of the times which tried the souls of
even the giant corporations of the North

ask for it a generous confidence and
support.
