The Rev. Bishop Faulkner, Of brooklyn, n.
Y, preached at the Church Of the isedccmer
Or. E., in Marini's Hall, yesterday morning,
from Matthew xvii. 10, 20: Then came the
Disciples to Jesus apart and said, Why could
not We cast him outf And Jesus said unto
them, Because Of your unbelicf." His subject
was the power Of faith, and, after describing
the failure OF the disciples to east out the evil
spirit owing t, their want Of faith, he pro.
ceedcd to speak of the same defect among
Christians Of the present day. Referring TO
the period OF thirty years succeeding the cru.
Cifxion Of Christ, and the zeal and devotion of
the carly church as described in the Acts Of tho
| Apostles, lie spoke Of the unparalleled spread
Of the faith which resulted from II. and con.
trasted II with the comparative apathy Of the
church now. Coming down to a later day, he
spoke of H,ss and Wyclihe. Of Luther and his
noble contemporaries, Whitefeld and Wesley.
and showed that the same distinctive charac.
teristic, an invncble and unquestioning faith
was common to them all, and was the secret oI
their success. The discourse wis eminently
practical and delivered In a most agreeable
style. Rev. Mr. Scott Of Baltimore, assisted in
| the service.

Some Facts About Rev. O. O. hitting.
To ne Editor Of ne National Repubicas:
SIR; II ask space for fow brief facts regarding
the action Of Rev. G. Q. Biting In his memorial
sermon on Rev. Mark r. wstkinsou. referred
10 In Saturdays REPUBLICAN,. Both Of these
gentlemen were prepared for the Baptist min.
istry by church In Pbiladelphia many years
before tho war both attended college together.
watkinson. who was notod a. q close student,
became slightly derangod in mind. His friends
placed him In Kirhbridos Asylum, near Phils-
delphis, and after a few months treatment he
was fully restored to reason and health, re.
sumed his studies, aud entered the university.
At the outbreak Of the war Biting was pastor
OF church at Alexandria, Va, and watkinson
In Portsmouth. Va. Tho latter true to the
teachings Of his life, returned North upon tho
breaking out Of hostilitics. Biting remained
and became one Of the most violent SECESSION
lists in our sister city-so much 80, In fact, that
no alienatod himself from his own relatives
and people IN tie North. General Gregory at
one time held him as n hostage for the good be-
havior OF Mosby's guerrillas and placed him
on the outside Of railroad train, along with
other leading rebel citizens of Alexandria, to
he shot at by their own men.
Watkinson Of late years had been located as
pastor Of church In Baltimore. Biting also
located thcro latCr. a year slncc NuklnsOn
died, at the age OF 6fty-two, the youngest OF
family OF ten brothers and sisters, all Of
whom survive him. Ilc Lett an estiniable
wife aud threo interesting children. Biting
was selected to preach the memorial sermon.
Tho stricken widow and children and mem.
bcrs Of the congregation Of tho deceased were
present. Biting IN the course Of his sermon,
Ia a solemn aud dramatic manner, told Of his
dead comrades insanity while at college, aud
described all attempt OF the afflicted student
To kill him while In one Of his paroSysms.
lie told II rs secret that he had cherished
during the life OF the deceased, and added that
he never believed that he had fully recovered
| from II. or course tho family of the de-
ceased aud the members Of his congregation,
who had never heard Of his temporary attic
| tiou OF his boyhood days, were indignant at
| Mr.. Btting's ofiicousncss.
| Biting contendcd that Watkinson had
been erratc aud that considerable ill.feeling
existed against him, and that no had spoken
| thus In order 10 defend his character fro1i as.
pcrsion" This tho friends Of Mr.. Watkinsou
stoutly deny, and while all are at loss to solve
the real cause of Bitting's strange proceedings,
| which, from his own standpoint, showed u total
| lack OF judgment on his part, there are those
| who believe Btting's attack proceeded from
| from the cnnkcr in his heart ut the marked
| difference IN the war record OF two young men
