Faith Course,

In his sermon on the Old Orchard faith
course, delivered by Rev. DIR Meredith in Bos-
ton yesterday, that clergyman said:
II know that many of you who hear me this
morning do not believe me, and think tha,
you have cases in mind which are exceptions
and which might properly come under the
head OF miracles. Such persons / would beg
to bear in mind these three facts: First. That
the amount of strength commanded by the
will under any ordinary stimulant is by no
means the measure of the actual strength of
the body, which possesses latent strength
greater in sickness than in health. Second
That mental and especially emotional excite
ment often renders the subject of it uncon
scious of pain which, without such excitement
would be uncomfortable. Third That the DOW
or of concentrated and expectant attention
over the circulation and nervous action is a
factor of the greatest Importance in every case
to which it is applied. Search II cases, and
you will find that they will belong to the cate
CORY which may be accounted for by one of
those three principles. The speaker, in his
closing words, alluded to the profession of Dr.
Cullis that his institutions are supported BY
prayer, and, while he admitted the honesty of
DR.. Cullis's belief, he argued that any one
might achieve the same results after being as
widely advertised. and that it would be more
honest and honorable in that and similar in
stitutions to come forward and squareiy admit
that they we're dependent upon the contribu-
tions OF the people and the blessing of God"

Effects of the Ga
purant,s Contempt Case.

Durfee and Associate Justices Matteson and
Carpenter, in the Supreme Court to-day, have
been hearing the contempt case of thomas G.
Durant, of Credit Mobilier notoriety. Durant
was arrestnd on board yacht in this barbor
in the summer of 1868, in the famous Credit
Mobilier suit, and John N A. Griswold was
secured as his bondsman, in the sum of $4,000
Durant did not appear in court when wanted,
and he was declared in contempt, and Girls
void called upon as surety. The case has
been in court for many years. Griswold's
court will exempt Griswold from paying the
amount of bail. Durants counsel made an
able argument to purge their client from con-
tempt. Durant has been declared insolvent by
the Pennsylvania court. If the motion is not
sustained, Griswod will be obliged to pay the
amount of bail, but the counsel will exhaust
every legal point before paying.
