Something About a Sermon.

Mr. EDITOR: There is nothing about which
men differ more widely than in their estimate of
sermons. The flowers of rhetoric please many,
the force of pitiless logic pleases others. while
some are not only satisfied with but delight in
"the sincere milk of the word" 1t was the good
fortune of the present writer to hear the sermon
preached by the Rev. VIM. Francis Brand, rector
of st. Mary's. on the occasion of the admnstra-
tion of the Holy Communion in Rock Spring
church, at the late services under the auspices of
the convocation of Baltimore. His text was from
"a Cor i-5: Our Sufficiency is of God" I'm
like most clergymen-and fully sustained in so
doing MS well by his many years of service as a
Priest of the Most High, as by the commanding
influence which learning always secures-he hest
tated not to speak out his mind rs guided by the
Holy Ghost, to his brethren of the clergy. The
al ct1"m portion of his sermon was peculiarly
happy and we know not whether more to admire
the simple strength of its solid sentences or the
strong doctrine, "meat for men, which they
conveyed. Exhausting this portion of his sub
iect, he then turned his attention to the laty,
and, in good English, told them their duty in such
priest of the living God ought always to be a
brave man. There was one thing in the sermon
which pleased me not little. The rector of st.
Mary's at the right time and in the right place.
ready to have Il tilt with you in the line of con-
troversy, ever ready to give reason for the faith
that is in him. on this occasion showed his rare
good sense in steering clear Of any point in theo-
ogy which, by any sane man could possibly be
controverted. The sermon was only in part writ
ten and yet the lat ter or extemporized portion
showed such careful preparation. such clean-cut
thought, such fully crystallized views as to make
one say, as the elder Blair said of Hon. Thomas
Benton: that man ought never to speak from
paper: he shoots too well without n rest" 1t is
very foreign from my purpose to make any
analysis of this very able sermon. for this is a
task in which would not venture. / do, however,
beg to say, that the clergy and laity of Hartford
will be under no ordinary obligation to the pres
ent writer, If what has here been written induces
you to secure the sermon for publication. If this
is done, hope you will send dozen copies to
COUNTRY PARSoN.

The Soldiers Home.

General Sturgis was appointed gov
ernor Of the Soldiers Home by Secretary
Lincoln, on the recommendation of the
Commissioners of the Home. Before
General Sturgiss arrival an investi-
CATION into the affairs of the Home
was inaugurated by the Senate. At
some time and for some reason the
relations between the governor and the
commissioners became very unpleasant.
Being called rs a witness, his testimony
did not tend to any better feelings. In
short, there has long been a sort of an
official duel between General Sturgis and
the commissioners. The Senate inquiry
prompted that body to pass bill with
regard to the Home, which awaits the
action of the House at the next session.
This bill proposes that after the cXpira-
ton of General StuTgis's term of service
the selection of governor shall be
made from the retired list. This would
seem to clearly indicate that the Senate
was opposed to any present change in
that office. Indeed, the exclusion of the
present incumbent from the provision as
to eligibility was done by separate
amendment to the bill, thereby showing
that majority favored that proposition
by itself The House has yet to act on this.
In ordering General Sturgis's removal
Secretary Lincoln felt constrained to act
as recommended by the commission
ers, and they probably acted without con-
sidering that the whole matter was still
pending in Congress. Senator Conger
is reported as having already complained
of this action, and others are pretty
sure to be heard from. Perhaps the best
way to avoid any reasonable complaint
Of n want of courtesy to Congress in fore
stalling its action would be for the Sec
retary, with the assent of the commits
sioners, to reconsider the order making 4
change, and allow Governor Sturgis to
serve until Congress shall have acted.
We do not undertake any discussion of
the differences between the parties to
this imbroglio. We have only the kind
est feelings toward them all. But We
regard Congress rs sort of umpire in
the matter, and pending its decision We
can see many and good reasons why it
should not be anti icipated.

writer, who is evidently woman-for most Of
this slop work is done by women-bewails the
fact that reporters are not what they were thirty
years ago, when Raymond, Greeley, and Blyard

that no reporting worthy of the name was done
in those days. The local news of one of the New
York dailies before the war was written up by the
city editor and one assistant, where now force OF

charge that he had improperly loaned
himself $4,000 of the surplus fund of

and of the further charge that he had in
