Mr. WnxiiM T. Clarke prewehed. btrnrot in the Uoltjciiarcb, Ilkrlem, yenOenity mormiBg, npou tbo fnbject of tbo recent departure of Hev. Mr.

Hswofrni froaa tbe Unitarian Cburcb. The toki wa. HO departed to tbe other side." Mark 13. The reverend speaker aatd I ooppoao thin morntng your thoughts tora toward a recent departure from tbe company that bear our naoae and seeks with 'us to worship Xlod. in tbo slaiplictty of the truth and tbo beauty of hoUnesa.

ark what snch a renunciation of faith, loiwfy prof eased aod oetenLatioualy paraaVid, aaoanst Has this event any aigaiflcaaee. aoy mnaning and leosono for aa. any toeologleal ior relikious-import, which oboold baafeviaKlearn and: to act upon 1 I should certainly be diroieet to duty were I to is to re an event which everywhere talkd about aa though It were of vast importance and presaged a till more Important ennaequenora. Yet for personal roaaona, for fear that some ua-cbaatened word, some phrase colored by prejudice andetnbittered by unpleasant remembrance may escape my II Da, I vonM fato be silent. Tbo recent withdrawal from onr ranks baa far loss significance to my nilod than' to that of Kvangclieal Christians e-enerallv.

Naturally eaoua-h thev rejoico over tbo acquisition of oue whose name baa been conspicuous In tlio pspnrs for baif a dooea years, and wbom tbey imagine was one of the leaders aDd liuporlatit reprerent-tativs of our body. But in the ease of men.aa of object, distance often lends enchantment to tbe view. Io a body aa looeoly organized oa when anything upou ptrsonal it ia too easiest thing to tbe world for a aian of pleating speech and vast ambition, to cut bla way through the reorratnta of proprieties that bedae in worthier and weightier men. and take tbe first place od tbe platform, and make confusion, if be cannot create order. But those wbo have known Mr.

Her worth moat intimately have tbe least confidence in either bis learning-, ability. Judgment, dlairitei-eatodneas. or bonor, aud I believe that tbree-fourtha of our clergy to day rejoice rather thau-regret bla departure from anion? ua. There in an election of character, of moral qoal'tlee, of tastes, of aims, of culture, and of consoieuce. which is as imperative a the verdict of Ideas, aod the wbol morale of the man determines his position outside 'our ra.iks.1 and I rejoice that be has taken his departure to.

his own place. He has made nothing but ooofnslon, discord snd among us. His iufluonce oaa born demoralizing. His work for hlrofcelt has more than neutralized bla work for Hi ideaa. svmpa-tbieo.

spirit, alms, methods and ambitions are not ours, aod bad be remained, he would have Iirovcd a source of discord, au element of irou-ile, a reproacb and a by-word. Nor can I eon-older that his departure has aoy serious theological significance whatever- Hixteeu years in this ministry, with uncommon advantages, with a hundred helps-and stimulants, or position, popularity and wealth, be has contributed nothing to tbe body of our literature nor written a aingle roemoraole artiele, nor preached a aingle sermon of marked ability, nor advanced a single idea. He baa sluipiy traded on other men' capita). He bis, simply diluted the thoughts of wiser and gteaier men, i und pleusod tbo palates of tbe tiDdlHcrlminating with bis sometimes sparkling, but generally vapid adulterations. Hia work- consists in an attempt to preach in tbeutrva.

which failed be-cauao be bad ao little to any that was worth tbe saying, and to' till tbe ministry witb men aa poorly educated and as eminently unfilled for ita oftlco aa uiiurif. And tnit experiment a bio failed because the churches would not accept voloe aa a substitute 0r vitality, veneer tor virtue, and sonud snrtr ttombast for aense and-acholarsbip. He gtvee Vyro prinftipal rearona for this new departure. First, tie looseness wblob exinta among Unitariuna. He aava no is tired of living out on the prairies.

This is simply the old complaint over We: are not a sect; we aie a free oody, responsible! to God for our reason and our judgment, aa well as our acta. We novo freedom tor onr inheritance, and we niuat have freedom for, our guide. We cannot make the displays that other churches can. but, for my own part, give me the compensations ot liberty and freedom rather than everything a sectariau- can -give, or tho wealth and honor that great communities can impart. For myself, give me the prairie on wbiob 1 can build my owu house, build it in my own way, aud have It for my own, so long aa tt has the boundless landscape of nature aud the roof of heaven for its shelter, rather than the palaces in the midst of cities where liberty of thought and belief is swallowed up iu the dopttis of creed and eecUtriauiHiu.

Tbe second reason Mr. Hepworth gives is the negation, tbe dcuials. and tbe ciitl-Jiin of the Bible mdnlged in by ua Unitarians. We criticise tbe Bible because there are things in the Bible which bide and obscure aid we criticise It by tbe light of reason, philosophy and ecieuce. Mr.

EI" worth accepts the incarnation of He tolls us be accepts it. because it gives him a strength and a support which he never had before. We accept-Christ's incarnation. We believe that tbe Ood within uq responds to tbe Uod without. It in Mr.

IIepwokth that negates and denies. We love Jesus Christ, we revere him. we adore him. But wbeb we make Christ a deity. He ceases to be an example to us, ana is removed from our veneration well a our sympathy.

Thi doctrine bring Ood dowu from Ills supreme elevation to our level. It presents no definite object of worship. It crowds out ot tbe mind the Idea of tbo great being. It makes Cbnst no more compassionate, rro more loving, to rail bim Ood. Tbe oemaud.for adeltywaa made to respond to tho ideaa of humanity.

The thing is what sort of a God we fancy we wool, tor we know not our own- wants. Ood alone, wbo Is unchangeable, and'who baa formed ua. and not we bim, knowa wiiat is best for ua. holds ua in his baud, to nioldjus as he will. Tbe Da gere of MewttaacBtalit hjemti-aosital Rcltgtoa Seraaoai by O.

11. FrotblBgbaaa. Rev. O. B.

Frothing it am, pastor of tbe Free Society worshiping In Lyrie Hall, opposite Iteservolr-atiuare, preached yesterday on tbo subject of "Sentimental Religion." In tbo course of his sermon, and la illustration of tbe manner in which, tbe sympathies of the world are governed by aenttmentaiiam, the preacher took occasion to refer to tbe death of tbo late a nits' Fisk. Jr. There had recently fallen by a bullet, he said, ono wbo had been an outlaw of aoctety, a dissolute man. wbo made a mock of decency, to whom tbe word Christianity meant nothing who neither looked back with regret or forward with longing a gteody man with a conscience tbst never regarded tbe binding force ot Uiviue law. And becaoao such a man happened to be ahot dowa in tbia old, romantic way, the aenttmentaiiam of the community givea bun its aympatby.

Forgetting tbe womenibe bad degraded, tho men be bad swindled, aud his outrages on aoctety. ho I pitied and hi slayer is called a murderer. Il ia fora-otten how the latter oar have been drawn toils of the alaln. and then crushed by bimt how, maddened to desperation his passion got tbe best of him. and rn an ioaane moment, wireu Judgment was temporarily dethroned, be did the deed, which is.

doubrless. abockuig to hia own better nature. Forgetting all these, -both as to tbo one and tho other, tbo dead is covered with sympathy, and for the living all palliation is obliterated. SentitnentaliKm la also prominent in nearly every reform, coloring sou dietortiog the truth, and causing philosophic minds, though deeply sympathising, to aland aloof. In the antl -slavery movement there waa much of this, the slave being painted as all that was good, the slaveholder aa all that was morally hideous.

In tho woman reform, too. It la visible, woman belug painted aa oue agaioat whose rights all men bad eooaoiredfron the beginning. Tb' kreateat embarrassment to any good cause is when its object are sought to be achieved by feeling divorced from Judgment. In religion, perhaps, oeatinientalunn dues the most. It take boiU of tbe feelings, and it is only wben humao hearts' are wruug tbeyl ask for Divine consolation.

Throughout all systems of tho Christian religion there runs this taint ot aentimentaiiam. appealing to Ibo feelings, and worshiping the livtne IB- tbo form of woman, aynpathuung with too physical saaTenng Chriat endured more than two thousand year ago. regarding ail as children, and not aa men. Christ la -re garded In bis meekness aud lowliness, a reed shaken by tho wind, instead Or a Dtiior of Bait oo which to loan, liicacoa and Hcflo wore both aeatlnoatalista, but with genius. Tbe poor, according to those, were' all good, and nothing oould crush too sweet flower which wer blossom ion all over tho earth.

These several report are to be consolidated Into a morning report, printed and Issued dally to the companies under tbe certificate, of the Bureau aa to correctness. Tbo purpose of this la obvious. The estimate of human veracity wblob tho Psal mist adopted in bis hast la to be taken a the deliberate conviction ot the companies connected with the Bureau, and all -temptation to answer falsely the question, "Have you ever: before made application for ill insurance is to be removed from tbe applicant, whose detection would be sura to follow, should he tell aa un truth upon the examination of the MorniBg Reports on lie in tbe office. In further. snoe ot tai scheme a circular ha been Issued to tbe officials of tb life Insurance eompaote of thi City, and signed by Mr.

John Uxwitt, President of tbe United States Life Insurance Company.

aod bearing in miod thefailBresf asosaewhslsimiiar aehoai. attempted aooao year ago by Mr. M. IX. Moroah.

formerly of tb Manhattan Life lo-arosee Conpaay, tho writer called upou the eneer of nearly all tb leading ooottBaiue-ta thi City, aad aiso boos of lesser Bote, to obtain thoir vmws a to the praoueablllty of tbo project, the probabilities of it betas QBrraiid into peraoo. and tho effect likely to follow. Tbo loilawlag aro the res alt of tb visitor' gatbennga: Aa to ta dVeatrabUlty of aoy sywteai of eo owe rauoa batweoa life eon paaieo, there a decided ufferoaee of opinion. While some thooght that a laogae tor mutual Btwteettoa eheeJdT bo fora- other bald that tt would be Bailor fog fry.jffaTfVM ycii aa oi VfcdJ pub lie, if each eeeapany depended aolely on ztself, aad oood acted iu buataoos lBdepeadenUy of all others. Of tb orator aptaioa wer sans of the younger ooaapaalaa, woo seemed eoo-oaioaa of tb he oe fits to be derived fron asooei ax-lion with exaerieaeod veteran of tbe guild.

Aod among this class were fwuod pretty naeb the only officers wbo favored tbo bureau scheme. Tbey. tt seems, ore mora likely to be dceelvd by fiaadaleat applicants than tbe older eeaipa-Biea. thongh wby this should be tbe ease, with equally skilful physicians at their eomnand, was not made apparent. Ia tbe older compass, with one exception, the expression of opinion concerning tbe bureau were freely given, aad were in every m-ataiioe ad verse loitH-oTKanizai ion.

The cbjectiona were many. but had neatly all occurred to each Qicer oslled upon, it waa augoated by one geatiemaa of large experience that that machinery would be expensive and cumbersome. The printing of a daily bulletin would Involve a orreai and very soon the flies of rejected, name would become too large to be practically useful. Ten rejection a day ia a small average. Tbi In a year would amount to more than 3,000.

To anarch through these as each applicant presents himself would involve a labor for whioii mere would be no compensating advantage. Very I'tUe stress ia laid npuulhefaet of rormer rejection by tbe best comonnles. If tbe question of previous applicartou be teked it Is simply for the Durpose of guiding tbe physician in his examination. One company the Mntual doesn't allow the queatiou to be askfld. A question of honorable dealinu la involved bo applicant for insurance make of tbo most ptlvate nature coaccrtiiLg himself and bla family history.

Tbe best opinions concur that fr would be a gross violation of confidence to publish these revelations, or the opinion deduced from them, to other companies, between whom and tbe applicant there is ao privity. Indeed, it is questionable woetuer such a publication might not bo libelous In ita character. Concerning the right of a mctical examiner to divulge tho tacts confided to or discovered by him aa a physican there is no questionable is not re. leased from his Hypocratlodww4sabemploved by a company tustead of an individual. Ir it la answered that no wrong is done to the refected applicant if he came before tbe company with-the, cilntinct understanding of the course wbicu mill bo pursued, then it remains to be considered what would be the effect ot such action npou the companies.

Il ia thought there would be a larae falling off of Insuraure applicants. "There is no use." said the Vice-President of the Kqultable Company, in speculating as to the ctTect of ench a system. Ask voureelf it vou would aoply for a policy with even a potttibility before you of being published as an unsound uian." Another objection was slightly alluded to once or twice, bur." not dwell upon with special force. It is hinted that tiiere are compauies wbo are on the look out for doubtful case, and who snap them up with avidity. To aucb the Bureau would be a harvest of temporary wealth but neither such companies.

nr the victims, wbo would plunge into tceir maws with open eyes are worthy of consideration tn discussing tbts subject. The question is raised, however, a bother tbe respectable companies can afford to cater to fraudulent insrertloua which bring discredit ou the-buaiQeea. These are some ot tbe objections urged by tbe insurance Wears visited against Mr. Ol-ootth Hoheiue. It was the decided opinion that It coulifT ot lie carried into operation, though aevcraj-rCentlemou expressed a willingucss lo enter some sort of a protective union, if aucb an one should tm tunned, free from the objectionable features ot.

Of tho proceedings of the Congiesnional Investigating Committee into the affairs of the Custom-house on Saturday, a full verbatim report was given in tbe Times of yeeterd ay.

The following is a condensed statement ot the testimony taken and tbe facts elicited Tbe Committee were occupied exclusively in the examination ot Deputy Collector Clark, who is at tbe bead of what is known as "the Seizors jBureau." Mr. Ci.ark explained in grcafde tail the theory and practice of the system of tbe seizure of goods for frauds upon tbe revenue, aad of tbe seizure of merchants' books for investigation. He showed substantially that so far as the Custom-bouse is concerned tbe systfm is in practice carefully guarded, and that if there is any abuse it arises under the operations of the special Treasury agents. He disclosed! no such abuses, but the special agents will bo and should be 'called upon to explain some statements have been made by merchsata. Mr.

Clark stated the facts as I viewed by the officers ot the Government in various cases of seizure, in which tbe merchants concerned bave already told tbeir story to tbe Committee. In the cose of Hrinemaw Pat son, it appeared that the CoHectorflodtngj what Be considered a prtma faeU case, submitted tbe facts to the District-Attorney, and that the latter, after some further investigation, made at tbe request of tbe Collector, concluded that tbo Government could not probably succeed in forfeiting the goods, yet tbe claim to the unpaid duties remains still unsettled tbe officers of the Qovernmen considering that a considerable sum remains still due, and tbe importers hardly deny it. As to retaining tbelr books, it appears that there wss more than one offer to return tbem. on the stipulation to produce tbem In tbe Court, or on their certify log copies to be correct. As to Wiikel-XR'S Case, It appears that he defaulted on the proceedings in Court, and that Judgment was obtained for tbe full amount claimed by tbe Government, and Mr.

W-heeler paid Ita amonnt over tlM.OOO.
