MR.. BEECHER on GODS DEGREES.

Mr.. Beecher preached yesterday on one of
the petitions OF the Lords Prayer Among the auditors
were the Chinese Consul. Ow Yeang Ming, and his
retary Cheng Ping They dressed in their national
cost umc and a front pew with IIoratio c. King
They listened with close attention 10 Mr.. Beecher In
his sermon said among other things that the DEGREES
OF God are tho great natural laws Of the world Mon
could not escape them transgress them with I'M
punity. All natural laws the laws OF God, and
therefore moral laws Whoever accepted them was
dignlned and ennobled. True science the making
known the Will OF God The chief business OF mon IN
this world was to learn to live wisely and happily to-
zether The man who did not know how to live here
would not know how TO live hereafter at least not until
after probationary period
Mr. Beecher said that newspapers were divine though
they did not always their divinity stamped upon
them. They were tins winged difusers OF knowledge,
and II they blOtted out the world would go back
thousand years. All good laws were divine, even though
they were made In Albany. All good manmadc laws
were GOdmade laws In the grand unfolding OF the
world the spirit OF divinity IN all Legislation and expert
ment was the yeast of the ages. The great mieunal
day would come when all men wodld be In harmony

WHAT TO DO IN TIME OF DISASTER.

The Rev. Mr.. Talmage took the great
Bridge for his topic yesterday. He said, 1.-THE great
work was hardly done, the roar of the cannon had
scarcely ceased the bunting ceased wave, whom
hearts shocked by great tragedy. Thirteen
lives lost and forty persons wounded, and long
list Of casualties that will never be known,
were caused by morbid curiosity. There was
rush. tramplng, massacre, and in instant
families bereaved aud fathers and mothers pushed
ont OF life. shouted that there something
the with the Bridge Was there No. the Bridge
stands firm the hills and the next century vii,
have no power to weaken II, the next generation vii
it, and the next and the next. There was abso.
lutely nothing the matter, as is usually the case.
When will people learn that in great excitements
the best thing to do is to sit or stand still How often
shall one fool be able to crowd Of intelligent
people into herd of bufaloes What pity it iswhat
terrible thing-to 60 out for pleasure
of the fsmilyi Those who died were In wise to
blame, but we're the victims OF vast number 0f people
rushing TO the spot to what the matter. HOW
often, when person Is taken I'll In public assembly,

at unfair to blame the Bridge Trustees at this time.
They have suffered fourteen OF caumny and that

(Appause) No one OF the hundred thousand critics

DISCUSSING PRISON REFORM.

fair audience assembled in the Berean Baptist
Church, at Downing and Bedford sts., last night TO
hear w. NJ +. Round, secretary of the Prison Asso-
citation of New York, speak on prison reform.
"After hundred years of trial." Mr. Round said,
sthe prison system of this country must
be pronounced failure III is sucn Rigahtic &c
failure that the criminal classes have increased In
the last ten years three times as fast as the popua
ton. Thirty-three hardened criminals are turned
out of prisons every day in the year. lie stated
that one in fifty of the inhabitants of New-York
State and one in eighteen In New-fork CITY are
habtual criminals Ii is very serious question as
to how this state of affairs is to be remedied. he
believed that the Christian Church was IN great
measure blame for this state OF affairs because OF
its lack of sympathy with the criminal classes
which was inexcusable and not in consonance with
the teachings of Jesus Christ. Mr.. Round
characterized the county jails as " the devils
kindergartens." and described Jail in one of the
northern counties of this State as a yertable ire
trap, a hot-bed of malaria and aperfect school of
crime boy of fourteen years of age. arrested Tor
some petty offence. was confined in the same cell
with a crlme-hardened burglar Two little girls
confined for vagrancy, had as companions in the
Jail a couple of VIGOROUSLY vile and abandoned
women. On the walls were pictures of criminals.
class of sporting papers. The State prisons are
even worse. There is something more than pun,
lshment TO be looked after in prison. They should
be reformatorv institutions. He did not believe IN
morbid sentimentaity. Society must protect it
self from the criminal classes Ihis IL could only 40
efiectually by destroying them. IL is Impractical
ble TO XIII them, tnen, LOT tnty mubb uo
Keen criminal in prison until he is thoroughly
reformed man and then, when you let him out, pro-
vide him with the means of making an honest Iveli-
hood. The Elmira ReformatOr which Is under the
charge of the Prison Association and in which the
best Christian influences are brought to bear on
the prisoners. is an Illustration OF what can be done
in the way of reforming criminals. Fully ninety
per cent of the prisoners discharged from that Dsti
tuition are thoroughly reformed men. Before we
can effect any permanent good IN prison reform.
SAID Mr. Round we must have the three ps on
our side-the pulpit the press and the politicians.

THE SPIRIT IN THE CHURCH.

The Rev. DR.. Robinson. president of Brown
University preached at the First Baptist Church, at
Park and Thiryninth-st, Yesterday morning, from
ST. John xvi, 7: 1T ia expedent for you that go
away for IL away, tho Comforter Will not
unto you; but depart, will send him unto you" Dr.
Robinson spoke of the greater benefit the Church de-
rived from the presence OF tho Holy Spirit than 1t would
from the actual presence Of Christ. If you and l."
said he told authentcaly to-day that Jesus Of
Nazareth was at Jerusalem, the whole world would be
turned upside down, and what would be the gain The
