SERMONS OUT OF DOORS.
Sketches of Yesterdays Re-
1igious Meeting in
the Open Air.
QUIET AND ATTENTIVE CROWDS.
Pastor Watson in a Crowd Of White
RObed Little Girls.

An open air meeting was held yester
day afternoon under the trees on Mont
gomery street, near Bergen avenue. An
upturned box served as a pulpit and a
small organ, played by Captain Fred A.
Apelles, furnished the music. The ex-
ercises were attentively listened to by
large and orderly assemblage.
The meeting began with the singing of
several gospel hymns. after which the
Rev. w. D. Grant, of the South Bergen
Reformed Church, read a portion of the
sixth chapter of st. John. A prayer was
offered, and Mr.. Grant spoke. He said his
text would be one for an anarchist
Labor not for the meat which perisheth,
put labor for that meat which endureth.
unto everlasting life, which the Son of
Man shall give unto you" Mr.. Grant then
proceeded to say in substance
That Christ did not mean by the words
OF the text that man should not concern
himself about his daily food and shelter,
but he did mean that they should not be
his chief concern. Our obvious needs
may be properly the subject of our
thought. A sick man should strive to
improve his physical condition; man
lost in forest should seek his way out: a
man drifting toward Niagara should cry
for help, and man in the grasp of sin
should turn his face toward the mercy
seat of God.
No person ever came to God for mercy,
to whom it was denied if he were honest
and sincere. In the Gospel of St. John
the word repent occurs eighty times. thus
showing its Importance. Repentance
that can accomplish q mans salvation
must involve belief on the Lord Jesus
Christ with all ones heart This method
is SO simple that men find fault with its
simplicity, but it is the way of life.
Captain Nichols, an old boatman, fol-
lowed Mr. Grant with an earnest appeal
to sinners to repent and believe in the
gospel

TRENTON, July 10, 1859. - Ex-Mayor
Frank Mcgowan, of this city, tonight in
an interview with THE JERSEY CITY NEWS
correspondent admitted that he would ac-
cept the nomination of the Republican
party for Governor. He is the last in the
fight and the first to openly intimate
that he is willing to lead the Republican
forces
Ex-Congressman j. Hart Brewer has
also been named as a candidate, but he
assures me that he is not in the field. He
has been seen OH the subject, but he can
not see his way clear to go into the fight.
He asserts he never asked anyone to boom
him or endeavor to secure delegate. In
whatever connection his name has been
used it has been voluntarily and compli-
mentary on the part of his friends in the
various parts of the State.
General Grubb has started out as if he
means to win. He recently Joined the
Knights of the Golden Eagle, and has the
grip down fine. He was at the Sea Girt
Camp. Everybody was glad to see him.
There are lots of prophets in New Jersey
who say the popular Edgewater Park
soldier will sit in Governor Green's chair.
Senator Nevius is said to be gaining
strength in the upper part of the State,
particularly in Warren and Hunterdon.

careful how he walks and with whom he
talks in Centreyille. Should the warning
not be needed he is threatened with a

The old Story of Forgiveness.

On Saturday morning Mrs Bake, Of
No. 127 Newark street, was all anxiety to
have her husband arrested for assault and
battery. He beat her badly, and she
showed signs of it, Nothing would do
her but that he should be arrested and
imprisoned for two or three years.
She had him arrested and he spent Sun
day behind the bars in the police station.
This morning, when Recorder Nc
Donough was about to send him to the
County Jail, the same woman, with tears
in her eyes, applied to Councilman
Snyder for his help and influence to get
him out. On the application of the
Councilman the Recorder imposed a IS
fine and the man was allowed to go, and
left the court with his wife on his arm.
