AUTHORITY NECESSARY.
This danger the press incurs everywhere. How
this Is to be avoided the editorial conscience must
answer. The press must speak with authority or it
wcakens it's power. Another abatement of the in
uence Of the press lies in it's necessity taking
politics. Politics and business are inextricably
mixed together. The politics must be party and
every great paper must go with the OF political
opinion. Party prejudices untairness, the disposi

MIS-. INTERPRETATION SERMON Dy MR.
BEEcHER.
Mr.. Deechcr read the tenth chapter of the Acts of
the Apostles describing the visions OF Cornelius the
Centurion and of Simon Peter. His text was tho
whole of the ninth chapter OF Paul's Episte to tho
Romans. In his sermon he linked together the
meanings of these two chapters and explained the
one by the other. The book OF the Romans said he.

PROBABLE DROPPING or THE CASE AGAINST
YESTERDAY.
The Presbytery of Brooklyn will meet this after
noon at two O'Clock in the Second Presbyte
rian Church. on Clinton and Fulton streets
to hear and act upon the report Of the
committee DIR. Talmage's common fame
The Doctors sermon yesterday morning on
the doom of ssctaranism interpreted by many
persons having relation to this matter without.
however. any direct reference to it. During the
Sabbath the tongue of common fame was busy again
reporting that the committee to-day would present
a report recommending that DR.. Talmaee be dropped
from the roll of the Presbytery. HERALD reporter
sought information on the subject yesterday. and
saw Dr. Crosby. chairman of the committee. who
very smiingly answered the inquiry by saying
that the committee is a close mouthed one and that
any report that is out did not originate with them
that nobody knows what they will recommend until
they make that report to-day. "But." he added
"you know oil sorts of stories afoat about DR..
Talmage. most Of which without any basis of
truth" The reporter next asked Dr. Crosby whether
the committee would not recommend that the whole
matter be dropped but he declined to answer either
Major Corwin. Of the Tabernacle. was also spoken
to about the report He laughed at the idea of the
Presbytery dropping DR.. Tamage the committee
making any such recommendation. and ntimated
that he had not heard of the nature of the
committees report. The Presbytery. he said. had
nothing to do with tho church.
Elder Freeman also OF the Tabernacle. thought it
more likely that the committee would recommend
that the matter be dropped than that DR.. Tamage
be dropped. "They have tossed it about" said he

Presbytory could not take the action indicated ii
they would without Judicial trial first. And then
Dr. 1almage would have the right Of appeal
to the synod and Assembly before any ad-
decision could be of force against him." In the
West Dr. Talmage is very popular. and on appeal
there would hardly be chance of common fame's
testimony or the Presbytcry's finding thereon being
sustained Hence there is u strong PROBABILITY that

peculiar incident occurred on the 10th ultimo in
the Bay of Caao. The attention of the occupants of

struggle in the water between seal and large fish,
the species of which they were at first unable to
recognize. As the yacht drew the seal made of.
but the fish remained the surface, loundcring in
extraordinary manner and making some very GU

in securing the animal and 1t turned out to be- o
magnificent corbina three feet in length. Part
of its head with OF the eyes had been bitten off

At the Warrington Square Methodist Episcopal
Church. Rev. James M. King. d. D.. the pastor,
preached on the humanity of Christ from tho text.

days. when the strength of theologians is spent
upon proofs Of the divinity of Christ. liable
to forget that our grasp upon His humanity. the

adorn Christs divinity than to emulate His hu-

chapter 10 that the mediatorial office of the man

tianity but the condition of the eternal salvation
The Christ jesus is the one only bond
of the Godhead and manhood. The preacher then
proceeded to give concisely the Scripture argument
for the humanity of Christ from His utterances
and from the inspired utterances OF prophets and
apostles especially dwelling upon the prophecy Of
Daniel and the prophetic photograph of the human
ity OF Christ found in the itythird chapter Of the
prophecy OF Isaiah.
TIIE IDEAL MAN.

than outside. The virtue was not In him who
touched the head. but in him who touched the
