Pulpit Utterances.

The sermons reported on another page
exhibit wide range Of religious thought, as
it is desirable they should do. The most
unconventional effort of the day was that Of
Mr.. Alger, who asserted the moral useful
ness of the theatre and the necessity Of
dramatic representations as auxiliary to
pulpit teachings Mr.. Beecher urged the
noble example of Paul upon such religious
workers as look with distrust upon all pulpit
efforts which are not after the fashion Of
their own, and he characterized the faults
of jealous preachers in a manner which was
none the less incisive, because it was per-
fectly good tempered. Father Damen
opened the two weeks mission at st. Te-
resa's church with sermon of rare elo-
quence and force. Nj. Frothingham evinced
his hearty sympathy with true Christian
work by alluding to the Week of Prayer and
the influence of this great service upon
those who sympatheically take part

Tn. washington Police Scandal.

It is evidently good thing for the people
of Washington that they have secured some
sort of change and clearing out in their
Metropolitan Police Board. While there is
reason to believe that the immediate charge
of corrupt arrangement between the
chief, Major Richards and the Washington
gambling houses was made by one set of
rascals to obtain an advantage over another
set, there is sufficient evidence Of demoral-
ization and dishonesty in the whole system
to make almost any change desirable. The
old saying in regard to the effect of the fall
ing out of rogues seems likely to hold good
in this police quarrel. The investigation
House into the alleged attempt of Mr..
Murtagh, one Of the Police Commissioners,
to induce Major Richards and some OF the
detectives to blacken the character OF Con-
gresham Whitthorne for the purpose of
damaging the investigation into the Navy
Department, promises to draw out some of
the secrets of the department The evil
dence of one Of the detectives who was
examined on Saturday last affords fair
specimen of the sort Of people engaged on
the force. Whether the change will i'm
prove matters remains 10 be seen but the
fact that some of the material of the old
Board of Commissioners remains does not
look very promising. If the charges
against Mr.. Murtagh should be estab-
lished that gentleman will stand in a very
bad position. The alleged conspiracy is
of similar character to the notorious safe
burglary conspiracy, but is even more fla
grant, if the charge be true, since it aimed to
entrap Representative in Congress and to
destroy very important investigation into
one of the principal departments of the
national government. 1t is due to Secretary
Robson, as well as to Congress, that the
scandal should be thoroughly sifted.

rhAunit.d state. Life Saving service.

ThAUnited states Life Saving Service
Among the most pleasing features of this
important branch of the public service are
the broad humanitarian spirit that pervades
its management and the general effective
ness of its execution in the face of i'm
mense difficulties and appalling dangers.
The duty of guarding coast with
lighthouses and beacons that serve the
double purpose of guiding the mariner
and marking the dangers that beset him is
one that does credit to our age and lifts even
our advanced civilization far above the ideal
of earlier times. But when we combine
with this another and higher task of warn
ing the sailor of approaching tempests and
organizing system by which he meets with
assistance when driven on the wild coasts,
among the rocks and breakers, we leave
little to be desired on his part
that human foresight and courage can
supply. The lighthouse keeper protects
the ship but the life saving service crew
perform a nobler duty in rescuing the ship
wrecked sailor--dragging him from the jaws
of death at the moment when he abandons
all hope Of life. The men who perform this
perilous service furnish us with the most
brilliant examples of unselfish daring.
Their deeds in the cause of humanity ex-
hibit a courage which excels that shown on
the battle field and when we consider the
smallness of the compensation they receive
as compared with the risks they run we are
filed with admiration for their heroism.
The ocean and lake coasts of the United
States are divided into districts, each under
the charge of superintendent. There are
seven districts from Maine to Florida, with
total number of 118 life saving stations.
Along the lake shores there are three dis
tricts and thirty lifeboat and life saving
stations and on the Pacific coast, which
forms one district, there are eight lifeboat
stations. The number Of wrecks along
the first six districts of the Allan
tic coast during 1876 was lOS, the
number Of lives imperilled was 751, the
number saved 729, lost o. The efficiency
of the life saving service is here illustrated
by the remarkably small proportion the
number of the lost bears to the number i'm
perilled AS skill in operating the life saw
ing apparatus increases the number of
the lost by shipwreck on our coasts
will be reduced to and kept at the
lowest minimum. Such service, therefore,
deserves the fostering care of the govern
ment, and we hope to see the system fur
ther elaborated.
