THE PLACE FOR THE SUNDAY

THE PLACE FOR THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.
The last weeks COngregatiOnalist
prints letters from forty Congregational
clergymen in New England, giving an
swers to questions put to them regard
ing their experience and the results of
a trial of one or two sermons on the
Sabbath. These replies are very in
structive, giving as they do almost
without an exception, preference to the
one sermon.
Another matter of interest,-althoug
no questions were asked on this SUBJ
Ject, and the matter is only alluded to
incidentally-is the place for the Sun
day school. In the forty churches re-
ported from, one holds its Sunday
school at 3 P. M; five at half-past ten
IN the morning; and twenty lone have
their school follow the morning service.
The other thirteen do not say when their
schools occur.
We copy letter or two as a sample
of those printed:

S. S. is held Immediately after the
morning service, and prayer meeting
at six o'clock, P. NJ. The present plan
is almost universally liked, and ali the
churches in the city now omit the after
noon service.
The advantages are: Q.) More time
Tor, and better attendance at, the S. s.
(2.) Opportunity for some to labor in
other places, at mission schools and dis
trict meetings. (3.) Time for family
intercourse and home instruction. This
is greatly needed, and in most of the
homes the Sabbath is the only day when
the family can be together.

We have tried the plan of one sermon

ment. We have the sermon in the

of this plan are: a. 1t secures a full
attendance at the morning service, and

would convey. the impression to a
stranger that he was the only man in
the state who could fill that office, and
that the state was under debt of graf
itude to him for past services that she
had not fully discharged by liberal
salary and many reflections.
Of the platform, the resolutions speak
for themselves. While most of the
committee were strongly in favor of
endorsing the administration, they were
aware that there was some difference of
opinion among the best Republicans,
and they endeavored to frame such a
platform as all loyal men could stand
upon. The hearty applause with which
the resolutions were greeted by the
Convention, and the comments of the
press elsewhere given, are perhaps the
best evidence that they hit the golden
mean.

sHERMAN's sKULLDUGGERY.

He is Responsible for the Scarcity of SntalI
Change.
Washington Special Sept. p to Cincinnati Enquirer
The idiotic attempt of the Republican Congresson-
al committee to attribute the scarcity of small change
to the economy Of the Democratic House is as
it is untrue. The scarcity and distress
entailed by it upon commercial conmunit es is
chargeable to the policy of John Sherman, who holds
all the small bills that come into his hands. Not
only this, under orders issued by him all officers
under the treasury disbursing money required to
pay all obligations, amounts less than five dollars
in silver. Sherman, when he designated scores of
National banks depositaries, had hoped that his
offer to transport to them free of charge silver CON-
would induce the banks to take large amounts of sill
aud by thus giving it circulation among the peo-
pie would keep them in the dark to his real motive
in desiring to force silver at the expense of small
notes. Unhappily for him the banks did respond as
he had hoped; and meanwhile anticipating differ
ent state OF affairs than exists, Sherman played
little hocus-pocus game to comply with the law
yet retire it. It is absolute fact that since Sher-
man has inaugurated his policy to force silver, he has
kept in the treasury all the small bills which come
into it. He does it in this ways If at the end of the
week he finds million of small bills in
the treasury q cite the amount solely to illustrated
he places them either in the fund which he keeps on
hand to redeem fractional currency, or the fund on
hand to redeem the notes of banks gone into liquid
alton. For the amount of small notes thus placed in
these funds he takes therefrom bills of the larger cir
culation and thus holds that he keeps faith with the
Fort BILL which prevents him from retiring legal ten
ders while the factis that the small notes thus d-
bottom of the sea- far they the people any
good as circulating medium The fact is that Sher-
man has become convinced that to maintain resump-
ton he must largely depend silver to help him
out and hence his socitude to force upon the peo
pie at the expense of his holding the smaller denom-
nations of currency. =

PRINCIPLE And POLICY,

Principle is one thing and policy is an
other. 1t is customary to decry policy; to
insist upon rigid pursuit of principles; an
unalterable line of conduct which disdains
subterfuge and scorns strategy But in ev
Ay-day life nothing is lost by policy. Poll
cy is an able ally of principle assists in &C
complishing results that would, without its
aid, be impossible of attainment. The diplo-
mat employs policy to enable him to carry
ont his principles, and finds in it an invalu-
able aid. notable example is furnished in
European politics. For many years the
Vatican has been at swords points with the
government of Germany. The church in
the empire has been subjected to embarrass
ment at every point. Her prelates have
been hampered in their ecclesiae teal duties
by restrictive and oppressive laws, for the
violation of which they have been cast into
prison, driven into exile and obliged to suf-
fer the confscation of their estates. Pope
Plus TX. set his face against the employment
of any means except the most straightfor-
ward to counterfeit the effect of the hostility
of the government. He would not stoop to
Cancellation. He knew the rights of the
church and imperiously demanded that they
should be respected. His austere demeanor
provoked opposition from the German
chancellor, who abated nothing of the
rigor of the laws. Combativeness in
the Pope begat combativeness in the
| chancellor, and when the aged pontif
went to his rest he left the church and the
State still estranged. His successor, how
ever, was more polite. He saw way of re-
Cancellation. He employed strategy-policy.
He made overtures to Bismarck in a friendly
spirit and was met with courtesy and even
! reverence. Negotiations were opened and
prosecuted, and at last Pope Leo has been
successful in restoring the church of Rome
! to it's former relations with the Berlin gov
eminent. The restrictive laws imposed up
on the clergy have been set aside, and the
German people can pay all due reverence to
the spiritual head of the church without do
ing violence to the civil laws of their coun-
try. The concessions obtained are of meal
culable benefit to the Roman church, but
had the present. Pope pursued the same line
of conduct followed by his predecessor the
alienation would have still continued. All
of which goes to prove our original PROPOSE
ton that, while principle is undoubtedly an
excellent thing in the abstract, policy can
accomplish greater results when judiciously
employed, and is the most valuable auxil
larry and handmaiden of principle.

BEECHER'S OPINION OF HIS BET
TEES.

BEECHER,S OPINION OF HIS BET
TERS.
The notorious preacher-politician who
brought such deep disgrace upon the cause
of religion few years ago by his libidinous
conduct with the eve lambs of his flock in
Brooklyn, has been ventilating his views of
Grant, Butler and Hayes in the California
papers. Like all men of his lax moral prill-
ciples, he finds much to admire in Grant,
and like Robson, Pomeroy, Williams, Bah
cock, Mckee, and all other disreputables, he
is warmly in favor of his nomination for the
Presidency in 1880. He declares that he is
Grant man-frst, middle and last. 81 have

if it were an army. Later in our history he
will be looked back to as one of our greatest
men. We never had President
who was not called scoun-
drel, and criticised as imbecile, cor
rupt, incompetent, foolish and everything
else, but as soon as they went out of Office
the clamor all died out. Fifty years later
they loomed up on the horizon as great men,
and people began to make pilgrimages to
their tombs. I think it will be the same way
with Grant, Probably Mr.. Beecher's
studies of tombstone poetry has inspired in
him an extraordinary faith in post mortem
honor to man utterly destitute of honor
during his life. Rut in history there are
Caligulas, Neros and Georges as well as
Cromwells, Washingtons and Lincolns, and
the history of the future may be just as well
as generous. In such case Mr.. Beecher's
expectations will hardly be realized. a5
