Forms and Cerem onies.

Dr. RurtOn's Ninth Lecture Before Yale Divinity School.
 The lecture ct Marquand chapel yesterday afternoon was well attended. Dr. Burton spoke on the ceremonial occasions which lecturer advocated 8 good measure of obser- vance of the forms and ceremonies of the church and even advocated the introduction of new forms into Congregational churches. He remarked that in his mind when he was 8 young preacher, and in the minds probably of large number of young preachers, was the firmly lodged opinion that all such things tended to Journalism. They believe that ceremonies, full, sonorous and spectacular, must be disadvantageous to the minister. It is true that there will be more or less self-consciousness and strut on the part of the minister unless he is careful. In a country like this ali form and show is con- trary to the inclination of the people. But being minister and being compelled to go on parade sometimes whether he wants to or not, such as weddings, soon causes man to feel less prejudiced against ceremonies. There are two forms of ceremonies, wo1ds
 
 service without form and words, bat one feels at Quaker meeting as if he was und CT an in cubus of ceremony. There everything is prescribed, carefully and ri2idly fore-ordained as you will find if you get up and attempt to sing a hymn. Their dress is prescribed d. they sit in certain order, the men together, the women together and the dignitaries to- gether. Their very silencss srej immensely vocal They say that God in the mind is indispensable and moreover is feasible and to be looked for. But many truths and feelings cannot be expressed in silence, through words however multiplied It is a great point gained when words are joined to music.
 Congregatienslism is prepared for an advance both in the quality of the ceremo- nies now in the church and in the quantity; better and more of 1t. Ministers should be careful of their speech and how they act. Carelessness in this regard leads to lack of ceremonial feeling. The lecturer said he knew a minister who used to put his hat on the communion table when he entered the pulpit. A Baptist deacon was in the habit of bringing the bread to communion in his pocket and cutting 1t with his jack knife Some congregations do not bow the head when the minister says 'Let us pray. There should be some sort of order In ser vice and it should lead up to climax. Take a wedding for example. We stand up and we know what we are going to do. It is simple enough. We are to make that man and woman one. Yet there are many com piexities about it.
 Dr. Burton spoke fayorably of trained vo- calists in choirs and advocated the cultivation of imagination in the ceremonies In clos ing he said Happy is the man who sees and feels the import of Christian service, who never goes to burial without feeling that the consolation is upon him, who takes whatsoever of pictorial beauty that surrounds him and invests it with his feeling.
 Dr. Burton will continue his course of lec- lures next Thursday and Friday.

An Appalling OutlOOk-The Ohio Still
 Rts1nG Ctuc1nnaIt-A Drenry Waste of Water Every Hand Great Suffering Among the Homeless People.
 CINCINNATI, Feb. 6.-To-day the water has been steadily creeping up. Heavy rains through Tennessee and in the district where the Kanawah and Big Ssndusky rivers take their source had anything but an encouraging effect. Added to this were unfavorable re- ports from the Scioto and Muskingum rivers. The villages between this city and the mouth of the Little Miami are in deplorable condition, more than half their population being either driven from their homes or penned in the upper stories, Business of all kinds is completely pros- trated, even including the retail establish ments. There are no words of consolation to offer in behalf of Newport, Lawrenceburg, Aurora or Cumminsville, all of them strug- gIing to keep their heads above water, while the residents on the river front between this point and Aurora are all driven from their homes. The fire department has made ample provisions for fire in the submerged districts. Two large barges, each bearing a fire engine, and a steam ferryboat or propellor in charge to tow them to the scenes of conhagrations if any occur. AS the flood continues to ad- vance the situation becomes more distress ing in the Mill Creek bottoms. A broad ex- panse of yellow water stretches out on every hand, varied only by inundated buildings, float ing drift and outhouses. The Eighth street fill still remains 8 foot or so above the water, but the sides are sliding in places. If it should give way large loss of life must re- suit as it is thronged with people all the time. There is little change on the other side of Mill creek. At Lawrenceburg, Ind, the cit izens are badly disheartened. Their fuel is in the cellars under thirty feet of water. It would be hard to conceive gloomier community than Lawrenceburg. The food supply is running short and having no communication with the outside world except by a four mile trip in a skif the citizens are becoming alarmed regarding the impending suffering. One-third of New port is under water and the city Is enveloped in darkness to night. The supply of gas is shut of and hourly 8 cry for help from the devouring element is heard. Tho relief fund is exhausted and tomorrow the Mayor will call for outside aid. At 1O:3O the river marks 63 1-2 feet and is rising rapidly. Heavy rains are reported from Pittsburg west to Madison.

The Situation at Louisville A Nazmber of Factories Under Water-Great Suf- fertng Among the People.
 LOUISVILLE, Ky, Feb s. - The river at 6 D. m stood forty feet and two inches, rise of about four inches since 2 o'clock. It is still rising about an inch an hour. The break in the fill which protected some two hundred houses and several large business establishments on the low ground, known as the Point, is some hundred feet long against three hundred feet last year, but the water had already flowed in gradually, so little damage is done. All the roads are running trains to-day, but foot more rise will rem der it necessary to transfer passengers from the Indiana end of the bridge by boats. The
 board of trade committee is distributing sup plies through the river navigation commit tee, who send out relief by the life saving service Sufficient subscriptions have been received to furnish supplies for two days. In New Albany the following named factories are inundated: J. F. Forces bent wood works, Taylor & CIarke's bent wood works, New AL bany railway works, Ohio Falls iron works, American foundry, Air Line machine shop, Mullegan foundry, Robinson's pump works, Marsh's smithery, Zient company's boiler works.

 P1rTsBURG, Pa, Feb. 8.-The waters Of both rivers are still rapidly falling, the marks showing fer twenty five feet three inches at 6 o'clock tonight. As fast as is possible, the accumulated debris and ice is being cleared from the various buildings, and the streets and the city fire engines are busily engaged in pumping the water from the cellars Of business houses and factories. By morning 1t IS thought that some of these will be able to resume business. Many of these, however, especially the iron mills. will not be able to start up for several days, as in many cases serious damage has been done to buildings and machinery. The principal streets are now almost clear or Water' but on all remain mud and filth of every oe- scription It is feared if this IS not prompt 4o Iy removed much sickness will result. 1ne railroads are now in shape and announce that trains will arrive and depart at the usual .p9l times tomorrow.
