30, Consistency, Where Are Thy Jewels r

To the Editor Of the EGtiOHGt Republican:
SIR: If there is any reward for selhshness the
recorded proceedings of Washington Presbytery
yesterday clearly show that three reverend
gentlemen, who were heretofore suspected Of
being Christians are entitled to it, 1t seems that,
for reasons best known to themselves, they stood
aloof from the revival movement in the beginning,
and will continue to do so merely to be Consistent
7rith hemseIres. 1t matters not that hundreds
are converted; that Jesus daily receives such as
have long wandered from him; that the Holy
sr:iEy Is daily widening, deepening and strength
the great work through the fundamentally
Of Mr.. Hammond, these gentlemen-reverend
xenllemen-wrap themselves in the cloak Of their
own precious consistency and stand of. The true
Christian should ever be willing to learn. If he
hnds he is in error, or neglecting duty, he will
hasten to repair the wrong and perform his duty
Many good men stood alO0f from these meetings
IN the beginning, and many Of them even now
don't inderse everything said and done by Mr..
Hammond But they recognize that God is in the
work; that sinners are being converted and much
good done, anu hence are unwilling 20 be classed
as enemies Of Christ, WheI his saving power Is 50
clearly manifested. =.
It is highly creditzble to DR. Sunaefland-Br,
MtfeheHifo opinion to the contrary potNithstand
: ing-that be Is now working hala:tn-hand with
those who are trying TO save the[dnconYerted
ainee he realizes that God is In the work
What is the eternal ruin of the unconverted of
Washington city compared with the consistency
Of such Watchmen on the walls of Zion as Messrs
Mitchell, Bittinger and Wills? They must be
consistent, no matter what consequences may fol.

i Walker stated that the
NORTHERN LIBERTY MARKET


Company rendered the use of their building on
the occasion the festival and the ball on the 9TH
Of March, If thspeople would assume the expense
could obtain guaranteed subscriptions enough to
make 1t a certainty, there was no reason why they
should not have a festival to rival the ones held
in Cincinnati, Boston, and other cities. If they
began to consider the proposition Of holding
smaller festival, II was probable that the matter
would eventuate in n very ordinary manner.
Mr.. Richings thought If they intended to get
up grand festival they had better hold 1t over
until next spring, or else make up their minds TO
hold an inferior one. To get up such one as
was desired would require at least six months
practice and plenty Of money He was In favor of
waiting longer than this spring and holding
longer festival.
Mr.. C. Storrs thought also that 1t would be
difficult to get up the kind Of convention they
wanted in one, two or three months, or even
longer. In all large festivals at least two thirds
of year have been consumed in preparation.
He suggested that the general committee con-
slider this matter, and consult with the musicians
They must have men Of means to support them,
and the aid of the press and of the prominent
musicians of New York, Boston and other cities.
Professor Fairlamb was Of the opinion that, in
order TO make II a success, 1t would be necessary
to have the fullest cooperation of singers Of other
cities, and he suggested that the committee place
themselves Immediately in correspondence with
prominent singers and report at the very next
meeting the prospects of cooperation. The CON-
mittees were empowered to fIl all vacancies in
their numbers, and the meeting adjourned subject
TO the call of the committees, ifspractieable on
Saturday, the I'd instant.
