SERMON BY REV. DIR. MoLYNN-THE ADMIx-


TURE OF GOOD AND BAD IN THE WORLD.

OF large congregation The music, under the
direction Of Mr. Daniorth, Of the usually high or

Immediately after the FIRST gospel the Rev. DR.. Nc

seed.


TIE SERMON.


In TINS parable Christ His disciples that good
and evil mixed up not merely in the world
but in His kingdom, the Church. The good
and the bad here form one society; that Is
the Church for we are told that the cookie grew up
the midst OF the wheat and so closely that there is
danger of roofing up the wheat together with the
cookie" This admixture OF good and evil in this
world can be traced TO the fall OF Adam. The dark
ness OF the understanding and procllvty TO evil on
tailed by original sin are painfully manifest in the g
norance and vice which common not only among
the uneducaed and the lowly but among the ntelll-
gent and those in high places. our Lord tells us how
TO bear patiently with the wicked that they may be
converted from their ways 'Sufer both TO grow
until the harvestn BY ''the harvest' is meant the
end Of the world. And He adds, 81 will say to the
reapers gather up nrst the cookie and bind 1t into
bundles TO burn; but the wheat gather ye into my
barn. The angels sent by the Son OF Man shall separate


THE GOOD PROM THE BAD
on the last day. The whole world seems TO be
divided into the good and the bad, TO be
separated only on the last day. Experience
proves that error comes alter truth, for after
the prophets came false prophets, after the apostles
false apostles and after Christ assured by Holy
Writ will anti-Christ The danger of roofing out
the wheat proves how closely united together in the

that bathing is impossible and that the
people of New Utrecht propose to mount
cannon and sink the garbage scows. We
are inclined to approve the New Utrecht
proposition. Coney Island is one of the
features of New York. 1t is not fashion
able place. 1t lacks the splendor of other
resorts. There are many clam saloons, and
now and then we hear of rowdyism. But
Coney Island is blessing to thousands of
the poor, who find on its beach their only
bathing ground. 1t is within an hour of the
City Hall. 1t may be reached at all times,
and although it does not grow into fashion
able Importance it does grow in popularity.
AS our government is for the poor as well as
for the rich it should take hold of Coney
Island and put an end to this garbage
dumping business. If the authorities fail
then let our New Utrecht friends bring out
their cannon. In such cause Providence
will take sides with the artillery.

Senator to rise and ask, in the name of the
republican organization. "What has a repub-
lican as honored as Mr. Jewell done that he
should be subjected to a gross indignity?"
The Senate quietly confirms Tyner. Jewell
takes his kicking without a murmur and
Grant goes along in his work. He says he
will have 'none but friends about him"
The party is nothing, the administration is
nothing, the public service is nothing, the
self-respect of eminent republicans is moth
ing-all that is to be considered is the Presi-
dents own inscrutable will This is not
republican, and it pains every patriot to see
it under republican form of government.
1t shows that there is no power higher than
the will of the President-that our govern
ment has fallen into much the same position
as Abdul-Aziz and his eunuchs before the
recent Turkish revolution, who did as they
pleased, ignored the people, and gave their
lives to buying parrots and tigers and playing
with the marionettes.


1t is against this anti-republican admins
tration that the anger of the country is
slowly rising. 1t is we'll enough to say that
Hayes is not responsible for Grants acts I;
that Hayes took pains to ignore Grant in his
letter; that the canvass should have no
relation to the administration. The country
will not think SO when it sees Cameron,
Conkling, Morton and the chiefs of the
party surrounding the President and sus-
tanning him in his arrogant assumption of
power. The country will say, and truly,
What confidence can we have in party
whose leaders have no more influence over
the President than harem eunuchs over a
Sultan? They see that the President has
laden these Senators with honors, given
them large share Of patronage, and because
of this they are dumb. All this time the
fair canvass of Hayes and Wheeler darkens.
Mutteiings are heard on all sides. The mass
meeting in New York was conspicuous for
the absence Of the men who give strength to
republicanism in this city. The country
shows o profound dissatisfaction, not with
Grant alone, but with the republican
party, and more especially with the Senate.
1t is well enough for Grant to treat the
party MS sucked orange, but why should
the republican leaders permit it? That is
the astonishing question. If the Senate were
to say "check' to Grant tomorrow, his
game of Cesarism would stop. But no one
has the courage to do So Unless it is
stopped, and the Washington government
shows some respect for the rights of the
people-unless we have IN end of this per-
sonal government-Hayes and Wheeler will
be defeated by as large q majority as Scott
and Graham or Greeley and Brown.

ToMpK1Ss SQUARE is in such terrible con.

stored to the people. The story which
we print in relation to it almost
exceeds belief, and yet the Park Commits
sioners allow the park to remain week after
week and month after month in a condition
which attests their own incompetency fol
their positions. The park is now an eye-
sore and nuisance, and must not be al.
