They had clung to hini all hut one until they ha seen him uimhi the cross. Then even Peter denie. 1 for he, too, doubted. But when they saw him ren, when they marked the prints of the nails in his ban Is and the hole in his side, they felt assured of his divinity, and worshipped him! But Jesus, ansiag that seme stiil doubted, said-in the words of the text "AU power is given unto me in heaven and in earth." The meaning of these words should be thoughtfully considered. If their truth was accepted, absolutely all power was javm to the Lord Jesus Christ.

The qutslioh asked by the doubters among the disciples was still asked by many who classed themselves as Christians. Some believed he was but one of three civine iiersons; others, that he was the Godhead himtclf; and still others, that he was simply a mini, the son of a carpenter. Ui-der the growing ight of the present day, the doctrine of three Gods in cue pecined irrational and absurd, wliile that of Father to ns, as a brother, suffering and thus winning our sympathy. The impassible', is revealed in the passible and this revelation has shown itself superior to all others in its power to save the world. Natural religion has failed and the Hebrew religion could not save the chosen race from corruption, but Christianity has wrought more mightily than all otters powers and still works.

YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN UNION. The usual Sunday evening service, under the auspices cf the Young Men's Christian Union, was held at Music Hall, last evening, a large audience being in attendance. Kev.

James Freeman Clarke conducted the service, and preached from the text of Romans 8:14 "As many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the Suns of "God." Almost everything in the world, he said, lias a body and a soul. The liody is that whieh we perceive by the senses, but the soul is the inward and invisible part. Tilings seen are fleeting and temporal, things unseen are liermanent and eternal. There is a plulos-ophy indeed that pretends to teach that we know only that which is material, that we know single facts as phenomena, grouped facts as laws. This philosophy the preacher deemed utterly fallacious.

As an example of the spiiit of things he adduced the remains of that pilgrim ship which were thrown up a few years sinca by a storm from that ocean lied, to which the vessel sunk two centuries before. The wreck was exhibited on Boston Common, and was visited by thousands of the descendants of the PilgrimSj who saw in it more than tlie decayed timbers of which it consisted.

Toor Miss Finch," the latest of Wilkia Collins's novels has been published by the Harpers, in a thin octavo volume. It is one of the most ingenious and original of his romances, though perhaps the reader is not so puzzled by the complications of the plot, and does not have the leading incidents come upon him with such a shock of unexpectedness as in The Mikju-stone and "Armadale." Miss Fiiu-h herself is the author's most delicate and interesting feminine creation, and there are touches of pathos in tho delineation which are above Collins's nsual manner. Oscar, the hero, is as characterless, though not quite sd coluriess as the writer's other heroes a being made not to act but to lw acted upon. The Rev. Mr.

Finch, a solemu clerical coxcomb, with a little body enclosing. alig bass voice, utterinng inanities in resounding tones; -Madame Pratolungo, the imagined narrator of the story; and Dr. Urosse, the oeulUf, with his delightful broken English, are, after Lucille, tho most striking characters. Tlte plot is intricate enough to rank among mechanical inventions, and to entitle the author to consideration at the ofiiee of the most exacting Commissioner of Patents. J.

B. IJppincolt of Philadelphia, liave published the first volume of "A Commentary, Critical, Experimental and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments." The present volume, hich is a clearly piii.ted octavo of seven hiuulred pages, is by the Rev. Robert Jamieson, I). I. It begins with Genesis, extending to Deuteronomy, which it includes.

Tho Ccniiuentary, which is exhaustive, is at the foot of each page. The volume seems to contain everything nectssary to interpret the text to the devout believer, and is evidently the result of much thought and investigation, directed to the establishment or confirmation of orthodox views of the OH Testament. "The Leaders of Public Opinii in Ireland," by V. E. II.

Lee'ky. has lieen published by 1). Applet on of New York. It contains critical biographies of Swift, Flood, Urattan and O'Connell, whoso characters are estimated with discrimination, fairness, and a commendable absence of partisan heat. The paper on O'Connell is perhaps the most judicious ever rit-ten on that formidable combination of demagogue) patriot, statesman anil reformer.

The extracts from the speeches of Flood, Grattan and O'Connell, with their fiery Irish vehemence of expression, contrast curiously with the staid decorum, the even elegance, the philosophic serenity of Mr. I.ecky's style. It seems at first a little odd that the historian of 'Rationalism" and of "Euroican Morals" should have selected such topics; but then, Mr. Lecky is an Irishman a well as philosopher. J.

R. Osgood of Boston, have published, in an imperial octavo of over a thousand pages, a "Dictionary of American Biography, including Mmii of the Time," by Francis S. Irake. It contains nearly ten thousand notices "of persons of both sexes, of native or foreign birth, who liavc been remarkable, or prominently connected with the arts, sciences, literature, politics or history of the American continent." This big book, condensed in its facts to the smallest si-ble space, represents an amount of industry which cannot be too highly praisi'd. It is essentially a work of reference.

It supersedes all previous compilations, for it includes them, wliile it adds much that cannot be found anywhere etae In a printed form. Mr. ra l-grind himself eould find little in it to criticise. It is a labor-saving machine to everybody who wishes for facts and dates relating to the lives of prominent Americans, whether iu the flesh or out of it. That we have nearly ten thousand Americans worthy of appearing in such a biographical dictionary is not the least of the claims of the volume on our attention.

A good biography of the founder of a great religious sect is a boon both to its champions ami itsa-Iversaries And by a good biography we mean one which is exhaustive in its facts, and at the same time brings us close to the soul of the Of those who have attempted to write the life of Wesley, Southvy is the only writer whose work belongs to literature as well as to theology; but it seems that Souther's biography, as judged by the Methodists, is "defective in details and is incorrect and misleading;" is unintentionally "full of errors, and, for want of dates and chronological exactitude, extremely confusing." The Rev. I Tyerntan has therefore devoted many years to the task of writing "The Life and Times the Rev. John Wesley, M. Founder of tlie Methodists," the Erst volume of hich lias been issued by tlie Harpers, of New York. r.

Tyerman considers Wesley as the man, "who, under God, was the means of bringing about the greatest reformation of modern times," thus reducing all other religions reformers, whether Roman Catholic or Protestant, to a secondary rank. His point of view is therefore partizan but he fa the hrst biographer who has collected all documents, printed or existingonly in manuscripts, which illustrate Wesley's internal life and external career, and fused them into a biographical form. His owu style is tart, crisp, rapid, dogmstk', epigrammatic indeed, in reading him, we occasionally feel as if we were rea ling the ife of Jacob Boehm as undertaken by Macaulay. But his matter is invaluable. His criticism of tho "Times" of Wesley is altogether tun exclusive, too passionately and brilliantly inexact; but his representation of the "I.iie" is, as far as we can judge from the first volume, singularly complete.

We look forward to the appearance of the second and third volumes with great interest. Mrs. A. L. Wfster has shown not only an exceptional felicity in translating German Into real English, but an exceptional sagacity in selecting books for translation.

Her latest work is a translation of Tlie Little Moorland Princess," from tho German of E. Marlitt, the author of Tlie Old Mam'selle's Secret." The novel Is pleasing, without being specially powerful, and piques the curiosity of the reader by detailing thg steps by whiidi an Ingenuous girl of seventeen fulls in love with an elderly man of business, against horn she was at first violently prejudiced. One of the most romantic of stories is this made to culminate in an event seemingly uuromantic. Mrs. Wis-ter, in her translation, gives the spirit, the flavor, tlie peculiar sentiment of the German original.

The book is not merely translated, but transfused into English. I. Appleton Co. of New York, have published a small volume entitled Christian Theology and Modern Skepticism, by the Dnke of Somerset, K. In this book the proudest of English aristocrats breaks with the religion of his country, whether established or dissenting.

He. adopts tlie criticism of German scholars, and repudiates tho mildest theological views of his most compromising countrymen. His decisions have somewhat the imperativeness of his rank. As Duke of Somerset, he decides that educated people, or "educated society," have reduced Christianity to a myth. It lias no real force except on its moral aide.

Its doctrines are erroneous, and its historical basis unsound. The popular theology is indeed threatened, when a duke of at least twelve descents, comes out as a ccnflinied skeptic. To stand by the English church was once at least a political duty with all lords of the land. These lords are now alsolved from their allegiance fo her by the Duke of Somerset, K. G.

The Websters of the United States have attained considerable European celebrity, but they are somewhat confused in the English mind. Thus, at the time, cf the Park man trial, we all remember the anecdote of the intellitent Londoner, who wondered that a mini who, while he was a prominent statesman of the Ferrhlie. had not only undertaken the vast labor of a dictionary of the English language, bnt had bund time to commit such a murder.

But the married ix rwsis are tlie first to npear with the suspicion that there is a mistake, somewhere, since tlie reasonable cxpeetations have not been generously ful-' lilies). If Nature means anything more than merely I to get her man and woman paired, if she cherishes the secret hope of delighting them by surprises of Divine companionship, after they have hurried into her baited trap, she has in so many cases overrated her ability, to pleuse high-minded souls, that the cry of the captives escaies from the gilded bars, and is a i piteous suit before society. What is the matter? Who i is in fault? Can the fault 1 remedied? If not, can the parties be released from its bitter influence? Mr. i Weiss now refiTred to the difference of tho feeling i before marriage and the sulisequeut feeling when tlie act of living together subjects two persons to a knowledge of each other.

Hereditary folly and infirmity I are unmasked more quickly in marriage than in any other human relation. The recriminating criticisms of cither party on the weaknesses of the other were contrasted by him itli the thoughts of each conceru-: ing the other before marriage. The imperfect tendencies on either side after lnar-I riage are equally annoying; courseness is repulsive, i so is triviality a sensual impulse destroys peace, but 1 so docs a bad temper. The worldlinem of the street is no worse than that of the parlor. His anxiety for advancement goes farther towards rent and taxes than the desire of the wife in many oases to equal her ncighlr in Bplicarances.

and the angel of before marriage becomes so exjiensive that the man recalculates the whole cost of her society. In how many ways tlie dissonant moments creep into the house it is useless to enuinetale them, and if we did, tlie only advantage we should derive would lie that of seeing more clearly than fore that mutual infirmity is an inevitable element of the idea to develop maturity out of vouthfulness. and the spiritual out of the natural. He thought that this mutual ignorance, would be modified by a mixed education of the sexes, and introduced a strong plea in favor of this theory and of this system of education, answering the many objections which are commonly expressed, and refuting the arguments against its adoption. In this connection he showed that the advocates of early marriage should favor this plan, as essential to the salutary working of their theory.

A picture of the Loniesof ill-mated couples was now graphically sketched, and the ell'ect upon the children portrayed. They would either become the very elements in society which would lie discountenanced by the virtuous, or enemli-s which would destroy a happy marriage and home where tlie well married couple stoop to blow the firelight, and the children's eyes answer, flickering like hearths where refuse and riihlishnre consumed. Would you discover where the watershed of-this conntry stretches to, drain softly -its brawl and tnrbidness into the Atlantic and Pacific seas? Behold this range of roofs whieh the fire of marriages have upheaved. Mr. i Weiss now noticed the causes which would procure i a legal divorce, and thought he would add to them i chronic ill temper, and defined it by picturing Its re- suits in the marriage relation.

He would have a sjiecial court of divorce, on whose bench noble matrons should sit by the side of accomplished men, to throw the instinct of wifehood and the subtle judgement of tlie woman into their grave balancing. He hoped women would demand this hen the right of suffrage was accorded them, ami planned a method of procedure when eases should lie presented to such a tribunal. The erntptions of new arl.uities were alluded to, and the writings of the yellow covered literature referred to; but the speaker thought that these wonderful dispositions which were therein made of unnecessary iiersons, could not be depended on in real life. In opposition to this, ho proosed the doctrine that marriage protects two people, till their tender romance hardens into the timnievs a spiritual attinity. Tlie natural atlinity of sex is liorn, but.

spiritual alrinities are made. In conclusion, he offered two propositions of a practical nature, which -contain suggestions for a reform of seme matrimonial faultsaiwl follies. Let. people defer to the laws of health, of sanity, of hereditary soundness, and rus(ecl the limits which have lieen set up by the commonsense of God. Let simplicity characterize the maimer of living, and not the love of appearances.

Reduce to the lowest point the disturbances which arise from-ignorance or vanity, or artificial learning, and marriage Is liberated for a more effective discharge of its spiritual purpose. He would have this taught to the-children; ho would have them warned against the affectations which undermine respect. We need not be afraid of teaching them too mnch, youth cannot be converted into premature maturity. Teach them these truths, and they will better be prepared to discover that marriage ithholds felicity, until it, has lieen earned. CHTJHCH OF THE NEW JERUSALEM.

At the Swedenborgiaii Church, on Bowdoiu etreet the services were conducted by the pastor, Rev. James Reed, who took or the text on which to have his discourse the 17th iand 18th verses of the 28th chapter of Mat hew: Ami when they saw him they wen-hipped him; but) some doubted. And Jesus came and spake unto hfni saying, all power is given unto me in heaven and in earth." The object of the siieaker was to prove from the text the ivinity of Christ, and to meet the doubts and caviling freely! indulged in by the sceptics and materialists of the present day. Should they worship the risen Chuist -or not, was the question the human alone was yet more so. There never was a time when the divinity of Christ was so frequently and thoroughly discussed as the present, an I there never was more need of that vital point of doctrine being understood.

Never were sceptics and infidels so loud or urgi'iuentutive at the present day. Tue old dispensation of Cluistianity wsis passing" away, and the new one was beginning. Modern rationalism was in a great measure the reaction from tlie, creeds of the old church. Men were losing their hold of oi things without grasping the new. The new Church was in the possession of doctrines based upon the Scriptures, which shed a new light upon points which hail heretofore been stumbling blocks.

CENTRAL CHURCH. The pastor of the Central Church, on Berkeley street. Kev. Julio De Witt, preached yesterday fore- noon from the text of Mark xv: 23: "And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh, but he re- ccived it not." The sermon had immoliato reference to the com- munii service which took plaee in the afternoon, and pieseiited many of those reflections naturally arising upon a review of the circumstances of the 1 Saviour's crucifixion. The record of the few Latest houisof his lite was more connected and detailed than that of any period of similar length during his caieer, jet much relating to his personal feelings and i tho considerations governing his conduct in that tryii'g expei ience was necessarily subject only to iu-1 fi-rence.

We could not pretend to be wise above- what is written, and the full significance Of. all his acts wc could not know. The humiliations and privations whieh Christ was comiielled to undergo alter his betrayal were portrayed by the preacher, and the condition of physical exhaustion in which lie readied the mount of Calvary was especially upon. Under these circumstances a soldier, prcinpted by kiniUiness of heart, offered him wine mingled with myrrh, a potion which would have a mo ney to relieve his sufferings. That he should refuse it seems inexplicable upon ordinary considerations.

Conscious of the agony of the t-rrible death which wr.s before him. why should he disdain the draft which might mitigate that prolonged physical sutleiing? The hypothesis was presented, that the full measure and Intensity of these sufferings were indispensable in the fulfillment of that mission whieh Christ hail taken ui'cn himself, and were consistent only with the ap-einted ordinance of a loving God. In this way he was faithful to the last to that cause for whieh he came into the world. If, as has been said, Christ were a mere man, who lived for himself and died for liiinef, and wrought his own salvatiou merely, if a'1 that ceuld be said of his death was that he fell an iu-norint tictim cf Jewish malice, the refusal which tlie text implies seemed not susceptible of reasonable explanation. Even were the miraculous elements of the gospel rcci rd eliminated there were many other things, of which the expression of the text was an example, which were not to le explain! upon rationalistic grounds.

The act of Christ in refusing the tempting iiraiiglit, was, in tin; view ot taken ly tno preacher, roi ot his utter unseinsiniess, a sacrince more mail iiiman of i-erscnal comfort in the fulfillment of his mission as tlie havtouroi men. trait or. onimary human nature is more familiar than that the time of danger and suffering awakens in mankind all their latent selthhness. In a crowd of men overcome with sm Men peril the sentiment, if not the utterance, of each is bat every one mustcare for himself, and in the etiugsle the strongernsh and trample down the weak. The claim that Christ was more than human, may be rested upon the one fact of his perfect unselfishness.

Christ's conduct as evinced bv the text should be taken also as a hint for the guidance of his disciples when calhii ujion to decide upon a course of conduct under various and perplexing circumstances. The net referred to in the text was governed by the controlling piirpcse of his life, and questions of doubtful solution resieeting eonditct should ever lie subjected to this Christian test. PARK STREET CHURCH. Rev. Mr.

Murray preached, yesterday morning firm Remans 8: "Abhor that whieh is evil." Paul intended to indicate in this text what should be the feeling of the Christian toward sin. Have we felt as Paul dfd, an abborreuce of sin, a detestation of it, a shrinking from it as a woman shrinks from a snake in her path? Not to have this feeling as a proof that our spiritual and moral condition was not goo-1. We knew row Christ felt in regard to sin, and one proof of the existence of Christ in ns, was, abhorrence of sin. Had we this at all times'? Were we troubled by the tricks of trade? Did we vote as we pray? Were we as religious at the ikiIIs as at the ahar? i For centuries the foremost question had been: i What do you lielieve? The perceptive faculties had dominated over the motives of men. He granted tho value of intellect but the perceptive faculties were i not supreme.

Faith was not the fulfilment of the law. It was the heart and not the mind that was' regener-! ated by the Holy Ghost. The object of Christianity was not to improve man's philosophy, but his prac-, tiics. It was not Christ in the head that was needed so much as Christ ruling over the heart. Have you that piety of the heart, hich says to the hand, You are my servant, not my master?" Tlie text also taught us to abhor that which was evil.

not the person, but the evil in him. If Christ innity taught us to abhor the wrong-doer, it would lie a religion of hate, not one of love. God hated sin, not the sinner. The father does not cease to love his disobedient son. True, the crime must be iiunished through the criminal, hut the object of ab-on-ciice was the deed, not the doer.

The record was that notwithstanding the sin which was in it. "God so loved the world that he gave Ids oulv liegotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting Ufe." This abhorrence of evil was a triumph of grace and not of nature. The impulse of even the highest form of manhood was not that of love. Christianity was not. an improvement upon old religions and pliiloso- ihies, but a new religion.

Some of its principles had eununciafed centuries In-fore, but the Spirit i which clot lied the dry bones with flesh was Incnoo Calvary, and there alone. If we were in Christ we I should take sin by the throat and the sinner by the I band. It was not natural to hate sin. Men err I easily. Thieves, and burglars, and murderers did not licconie martyrs.

As a race men were not amiable. Orthodoxy taught the sinfulness of men, not be-i cause Calvin and Edwards asserted it, but be-j cause everything about us proved it. If iieople wished further proof of the doctrine let them 1 look into their own hearts and answer whether i it is easy to lie virtuous. Tlie agony came wlieu one tried to project himself into God-likeness, i Hail, then to the words: "By grace are ye saved." It was not for the heaven He has to give, but for tlie hcaveu already given, that the speaker thanked God. He knew not what the future might have for him, but he knew that he was now redeemed, emancipated, free in Christ Jesus.

No longer as a beggar, but as one redeemed re poverty, did he seek' God in prayer. Let men kill first the sin which is killing them fastest, the one which begets others. Whatever it may be which leads to sin, let it Is; destroyed; that man may enter into life a redeemed soul. "CHRISTIANITY AND SKEPTICISM." The ninth lesture in the course, niion "Christianity and Skepticism," was delivered in the Old South church, last evening, by Kev. Dr.

Post of Louis, the subject being: "God manifest in the flesh." To evolve and apply the moral forces needed to bring the creature into sympathy with the Creator is the work cf Gcd. and He must do it by a revelation of Himself, either in the fixed order of nature, or by tlie interruption of there laws in attestation of a revelation, or in a jierson. The consciousness of man supplementing tho first develops natural religion, supplementing the the Jewish, and supplementing the last, Christianity. The incarnation of Christ is the distinctive feature of Christianity. The incarnations of Brahma ami Buddha were entirely uifferent.

The unity of Father and Son are spoken of many times, in language which can teach nothing else but that He was the revelation of God, not of all His attributes, but of His moral nature, which, when beheld, will change us from glory to glory. In order to salvation, man must, in his nature, be confoimed to God. This conformity can only be produced by sympathy with Him. This sympathy can only result from the revelation of God iu a human person. No happiness is possible to one not in harmony with God.

The jiower which will secure this harmony exists oidy in God. The god we worship oi ms us to its likeness. The po wer to re-create is the power which first created. Salvation conies through faith in a person. Christianity is not a system of graces and virtues, but is emboilied in a Perscn who wears them all.

Abstraction cannot save. The God revealed by and in the laws of nature dees not possess the qualities necessary to the salvation of the world, for He has no sympathy, no feeling, no lave. He has power, and that alone. The power of a Person exhibiting His doctrines in His life may be perpetuated bv the agency of the Holy Spirit, and will adapt itself to the different natures of thofo it affects. The mission of Christianity is to draw null into assimilative sympathy with God.

By the sympathy of soul with soul God binds man to Himself. In order to effect this the Incarnate must be a person of love; one with fetdings and sympa-. thies; one ho can convince ns that God loves, "pities, forgives. We love Him because He first loved us. Ged must bo revealed in a human pers in, also.

If unlike us we cannot sympathize with Him. Philosophy may postulate an impassive God; but the Being to diaw men must have emotions; Ho must be callable of sacrifice. The Captain of our salvation must be made peifect through suffering. If he has no feeling He cannot have our sympathies. Faith applies this force to the soul, and binds the creature to the Creator.

Christ reveals God the any other vessel in their outward aspects, but those who beheld these relic felt that there was a spirit pertaining to theiiv which bespoke the venerated exiles from licyond the iean. They brought away from the place no results of any positive philosophy, but something which, though quite imponderable, was none the less a reality. In similar tei ms he referred to those associations and inrpiiatiiiiis which forever belong to the territory of Palestine, a land not offering those natural attractions hieh are the charm cf other lands, but which, lie vert hclcjs. gathers from time to tune travellers from every clime. He claimed that notwithstanding what any iK'hitive philosophy might-teach, the best that ines to us from things is that of which no philosophy teaches.

From these suggestions he passed to the consideration cf the intuitions of the Divine Spirit iu the hearts of men. What we have to do, he said is to be illing to be led by that indwelling presence, which comes to us not seldom, at isolated and irregular periods, but always, and whenever the voice of prayer is lifted up. That he who follows that voice of God within us will sooner or later become the son of God, was the teaching of the New Tlie one thing important was to believe in tlie spirit, and obey the- spirit, as the only essential thing that exisis. A book has its spirit, either good or bail, and the test cf it was how docs it affect the spirit of the reader, not whether the good iieople turn out well at the end hile the bad people were punished This latter as a false test but one often applied. A good b.xk was one that produces the feeling of courage and hope, the fiKllng that good may be done in this world bv right endeavor.

Bad books are those the spirit of hieh is cold and hard and dead, teaching that it is just as well to do as other people do in the world, and to get through with it as easily as possible. 1 he spirit or tone of the good and bad man, the good and bad society or companionship, were contrasted and comment ed ujion in similar terms. Of all books, tho Bible is that in which the spirit is most important and the letter the least iniiiortant. Herein the apostle Paul went further hi the expression of oi ini than even the liberal preachers of this day would feel inclined to go. Such might say that, as between the spiiit and the letter, the former was essential; but Paul said, that while the spirit givettt life, the letter "killetb." Wliile the spirit of the Bible is regarded, the book will lie precious to men.

for, like the angels of Milton, it "cannot, but by annihilating, die." Theseimou closed ith some criticisms upon the spirit of tlie churohes. both the Roman Catholic and Protestant, in insisting too rigiilly uion letter of doctrinal teaching and the acceptance of the precise phraseology of creeds forged out upon theological an vils iu nery controversies oi iuo miuiiie ages. HORTICULTURAL HALL. Knowing the thoroughness whieh Colonel Higgln-son carries into the prosecution of his researi-'hes, and the enthusiasm with which he speaks on any sub-ject interesting to him, the audience which gathered yesterday to hear his lecture entitled, "The Life and Character of Buddha," felt that they could, without fear of disaiointment, exieet to hear some tiling tTceply interesting as well as instructive; nor were they oisappoiuted. Beginning with a few remarks on the doubt which existed as to tlie comparative nobility of the two tycs of character, that which steis downward from "wealth, or that which overcomes the diaw backs of an humble position, and stating whence thrived Ids authority foi the statements hich was aliout to make, the lecturer went ou to present the life of Siddartha the Bu.bllia, or Sakya-inuni, iu a series of vivid word-paintings, mingled with expositions of the doctrines of the great teacher.

First, be drew the jiortrait of the young princ-, surrounded by the fond care of his father with every luxury which could tend to render him th night less, stricken ith horror at the first sight of age, sickness and death, leaving his paktce, his wife, leaving the boy that day boru to him, whose face he had uever seen, donning the yellow robe, and assuming tho hatchet, ueeole and niter of the mendicant monk, and going forth into a strange city to beg from door to door the coarse food eaten by his order. Then he i tainted the enthusiastic seeker after truth going to Jrahman after Brahman seeking spiritual truth and never finding joining a band of anient religious enthusiasts, practising their austerities for six years, leaving them so suddenly as to be deemed an ap-istate by them, and, after pausing through an experience svmbolized under the form of a contest with deui ins who shook the mountains but not him, and whose weapons turned to parlamls of flowers when they touched him, wliile tlie whole universe rejoiced at his victory, at last resolving to teach the doctrine which had been revealed to him, although half -fearful that men would not strive to understand It. The third picture hail for central it figure the aged teacher, after forty-five years devoted to preaching self-denial and forbearance among all classes, dying in the arms of his followers, bidding them not to be cenctriieil about his remains after his Is sly should have entered Nirvana, but rather to be solicitous to practice the virtues which lead men to iierfection. Various particulars of Buddhist doctrine tending to more clearly show the character of the foun ler of the sect were stated at some length, by Colonel Higgin-son. The four principal points of the Buddhist doctrine, those which constitute The Wheel of the Law" as it is called, are the existence of pain, the source of Iiain in unregulated desires, the destruction of pain uestrovinn these desiree, ami the means of effecting this work.

Upon these four points, around this wLcel, revolves the whole system of Buddhism. When til st beginning to teach, Sakya-Muni found that not only spiritual but moral forces were arrayed against the doctrine of caste was deeply rooted in all life. Public execution, or the direst torture was a trifling enalty compaied to that which he incurred who vio-attd caste, lor he condemned himself toeteni.il degradation, from which no form of transmigration could raise him. This the Buddha destroyed, not by saying anything against it, but simply crushing it by the force of his example, and to-day in all the East. Hindustan is the only country where caste remains in fence.

Buddhism, wherever it goes, elevates the con-eiition of women; its founder hesitated at first about Admitting them to the priesthood, lest they should impair the stability of those institutions which have, after all, endured for two thousand two hundred, years. In conclusion, Col. Higginson said that it had been remarked by one of the foremost thinkers of the country, that all prophets had one central worj aiouud which their systems revolved; that of Budlia wits leiiunciation, that of Jesus, love, but he should to say that Buddha taught renunciation and love, and Jesus love and reiiuiieiation. When humanity should make up its criticism on these two religious, it would say thut both too much ignored the Gieek ideals of beauty and truth, and would occasionally turn from their solemn temples to the sunny life of Socrates, and to his death, refusing to eiistrust the author of the universe, or believe that anything could be otherwise than well. All three doctrine's were needed; no one channel was wide enough for the religion of the world; we needed India and Judea as well as Greece and Rome, and should not quarrel with one because it was not the other.

It had been said that when, in the reign of King Asoka, the door of the Buddha's tomb was opened, it was found that after two hundred ami eighteen years the lumps were still burning, the flowers still fresh, the perfumes more fragrant than ever, and so," said the lecturer, after more than two thousand years we open that tomb again, and find that the light sstill burn.tiie perfume -tare still the perfume of thai noble life still remauisimniortai." LYNDE STREET CHURCH. Rev. A. Bartcl preached, yesterday forenoon, his 35th anniversary sermon, at the West Church, Lynde stieet. His subject was "The Christian Stand." Dr.

Eartol explained the word "Stand" by saying that we receive knowledge not only from the materia! world, through lie five doors to the brain, but also from an inner sense of right and duty, implanted by God himself. On this higher nature ho would base the Christian Stand, and on this he urged all to take their stand, as being higher than all others. Be would not reject all material knowledge as having no hearing whatever, but rather combine the two as foiming the grand whole. Neither would he condemn all other sects as being wrong; but would rather think of them as building ujhmi the same foundation, ajitructure eliffering in some minor iKiints. He said this higher stand is for happiness as well as for life, that it is like some structure on the shore, used both as a dwelling anil a fort, combining the cemfoitsof the one with the strength of the orher.

hen one has attained to this high stand, and, looking back, sees some erne below him, he should invite l.im to ti higher stand; but it would bo useless to hold out es inducement tlie scenery that he beholds fr. the summit for it is invisible to one who is still iu the valley below yet he should do all that can be de ne to lift l.im up to his own level. Hest idthat ti Christianity of Jesus had been tne of the gieat agencies in raising the condition of man, not, as some claimed, the only agencv. He was iliiiig to take other Bibles and compare them with our Bible, to compare other teachers with Jesus. it i FACTORY, 516 HARRISON Av.
