BEYOND THI8 PRESENT. ) "We measure life by years and tears," be said; "We live a little; then life leaves ns dead; And the long grass grows greenly overhead.' The years pass on, some swiftly and some alow; . f Enoh takes a little from red summer's glow; Each gives a little of white winter's snow. I Forever more and more they take and add; We lose the things that used to make ns glad; We keep bnt those that make ns slow and sad. Jlot tears well np from ott the fountain heart; We wipe them off with proud, resentful tart: Alas, our pride heals not their bitter smart ! The eye is but the snrfaoe; deep and wide Abides beneath the souroe of their salt tide; The heurt must rest ere that fall flow be dried. ' As on its binges swings the door of Time We catch sweet glimpRes of a land sublime, .Filled with the goldenness of Heaven's prime. And One stands np; oh, fair and fall in sight, With clear, true words lie calls as day and night! Help as, O Ood, to see and hear arfght ! For if we see Him we shall see Thee too; And if we hear Him, He will tell ns true, And &A oar hands with some blest work to do. And then both years and tears shall surely cease; Time to Eternity shall make increase; And smiles shall beautify an endless peace. ARGUMENT IN PREACHING. Argument forms the basis of interest with the popular mind, and it is the staple method of dealing with and influencing mind. Ap-. peals to the feelings, and all kinds of "sensa tional preaching," soon wear out; but plain, sensible, and comprehensive reasoning, with out the pedantry of the logician or the hard ness of the metaphysician, always has power with the great mass of common-sense, intel ligent hearers. A sermon which has nothing of this element of thoughtful augmen tation in it rarely , makes an endur ing impression, because it does not reaoh the depths of the subject or the depths of the mind. It ruffles the top waves; it does not go down into the springs of thought or motive. No amount of fine writ - in g, dazzling declamation, or even pathetic appeal, can atone for the absenoe of sound reasoning in a sermon. It need not, and should not, be technically theological, nor be continued wearisomely; but there can be little true eloquence without it. Truth, which is the converting agency, is not honored if it is not carefully developed, and if this thoughtful, orderly setting forth of truth do not form the basis of the sermon. This forms the positioe element in preach ing. Jlvppin. . SUMMARY OF CHURCH NEWS. EPISCOPAL. The St. John Protestant Episcopal Church, Camden, N. J., was totally destroyed by fire on Sunday, December 25. Loss, $10,000. Mr. Benjamin Jodkins, Jr., late a Con gregational , minister, was admitted to the ; Episcopal Diaconate in Jordan, Central New York, December 7. The Chureh Mission to the colored people proposes to expend $56,000 in giving the Gospel to this part of our population during the coming year. The Rev. W. J. Ellis, rector of Christ Church, Nashville Tennessee, has tendered bis resignation, which has been accepted, because the vestry of his church refused to adopt the free-pew system. METHODIST. Bishop Marvin found two members of the Northwestern Texas Conference who bad attended the circus. They were called to ' account before the conference. There are in the Methodist Episcopal Church 101 institutions of learning. There are engaged in these 719 professors and teachers. There are 27 universities and col leges 'and 5 theological seminaries, one of which is in Germany. The amount invested in buildings for the above institutions is $2,985,137. TLeir endowment available and unavailable, is $2,653,123. The income for salaries, repairs, apparatus, etc., is set down at $243,834. There are in these schools ,240 instructors. Were the whole amount of this income averaged among the instructors, the salary of each would be only $091 18. The first Methodist State Convention in Michigan assembled at Albion, Deo. 12. During tne session or the Convention, a committee was appointed to devise a plan for raising $100,000 for Albion College, and Mr. E. Conkling, of ' Mackinaw, offered 25,000 acres of land towards a Methodist University in Northern Michigan. The Methodist churches of Lynn, Mass., five in number, held an interesting union service in commemoration of the SOth an niversary of the settlement of Rev. Jesse Lee in that city, the pioneer Methodist preacher of New England. ... The Methodist Book Concern has a capi tal of $1,458,757. It was founded in 1789, on a capital of $t09,- loaned by a Methodist preacher. ' 1 The Methodists of Cincinnati have, by a anion of efforts of all the congregations, pur chased the Jewish Tabernacle, and made it a present to the colored congregation of Allen Chapel. The N. Y. CItrktian Advocate says: A letter to our missionary secretaries from Rev. Dr. Maolay, Superintendent of the Methodist Episcopal Mission at Foochow, China, an nounces the departure of Rev. Ha Sing Mi, one of the native Chinese preachers, for San Frsncitco. He speaks English moderately well, a qualification of considerable import ance to a pastor among the Chinese in this country. His wife, also a devoted Christian worker, is a native of Canton, and familiar with the Cantonese dialeot, which is largely spoken in California. Twenty-four years ago American Methodism bad not one representa tive to China. New Chinese Methodism sends the first native missionary to America. CONOBJEQATIONATj, The Congregationalist denomination has hitherto been without any deoided footing in the South. But the Rev. Mr. Feemster, who has recently established the Christian lie . public at Columbus, Miss., in the interest of this eminent branch of Christ's Church, claims that a change has lately taken place. At present, be says, there are four Congrega tional churches in Tennessee, four in Georgia, one in Alabama, three in Mississippi, and a "bost" in Louisiana. Schools have alxo been established and associations form-!. This increase dates with the close of the war, and it is believed that, eHpeoUlly among the freedmen, geat progress will be inado hereafter. The new meeting bouse now building for the First Church, Han Franoisoo (Dr. Btone'sJ, will be of brick, with artificial stone trimmings ("the first instance of its use on the Facifio coast), and, with galleries, will have seating capacity for 1600 persons. The annual colieouon m xvev. ir. morr s Ttsi1x1vn 1nnt taknn for thn A m- rjoan Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, amounts to ww, against owv last year. '..'. Eighteen persons joined the Fourth Church in Hartford, Conn., Sabbath week, and t went j -one persons were admitted to membership in the Windsor Avenue Church. From the CongregationaUst we learn that fifty-two ministers of that denomination have died during the past year in the United States, and that eighty-nine churches have been formed. The Congregational chnrches of Oregon have 4(15 members and 779 Sunday-school scholars. The Ladies' Social Circle connected with the Congregational Church of East Wey mouth, Mass., publish a newspaper called Tlie Parsonage Enterprise, to raise funds for the building of a parsonage. The meeting-house of the First Congre gational .Church in Lynn, Mass., was de stroyed by fire on Sabbath afternoon, Decem ber 25. Loss from $30,000 to $ 40,000. The Central Congregational Church in Brooklyn (late Mr. French's) has called Rev. Dr. Scndder, of San Francisco, and offer bim a salary of $0000 and a parsonage. PBE8BTTERIAN. The Occident says: "There are new six self-supporting Presbyterian churohes in this city, the whole combined possessing about one-twentieth of the property of a single first class church in New York or Philadelphia. There are also six missionary churches, with four houses of worship, and all laboring with unflinching heroism towards self-support. San Francisco is at present the key of the Ocoident. Influence, population, and wealth accumulate about this centre faster than any where else on this coast. If we can conquer San Franoisoo, we shall control the Pacific West." Rev. Joseph Owen, D. D., of the Pres byterian mission at Allahabad, Northern India, died on the 4th of Deoember last, at Edinburgh, Scotland. Dr. Owen's mission ary labors cover a period of thirty years, he having landed in India in 1840. The Fresby. terian says: "He was beyond all question the most learned of our missionaries in India. While yet in the Theological Seminary he en listed the, special interest of Dr. Addison Alexander by his uncommon philological attainments; and in the course of his labors among people of various tongues, those at tainments were greatly increased. Latterly be read seventeen or eighteen languages, several of which he also spoke. His transla tion of the Old Testament into Hindi, and his commentaries, for the native Christians in Urdi, or Hindustani, are used for purposes of instruction by other misHionaries as well as those of the Presbyterian Church." The Rev. T. 8. Kendall, D. D., who pre sided as Moderator over the General Assembly of. the United Presbyterian Church which met in Pittsburg, Fa., last May, died at the residence of bis son-in-law, in Oregon, on the 5th inst. A new congregation was lately organized in Allegheny City, Pa., with 110 members, and is to bo called the Central Church. The new congregation has given a unanimous call to the Rev. J. W. Sprouil to become their pastor. BAPTI8T. i Among the recent additions to Parsley Baptist church, Greene connty, Va., is the Rev. J. L. Turner, who for forty years had been a Congregational preacher. The JSmmiuer and Chronicle says: "Among the humors of the season we may mention the advertisement of Christmas ser vices in a certain Protestant Episcopal church, in which tbo names of the signers were printed in full, and the assurance given to the public that the musio in the morning would be 'strictly eoelesiastical,' while that in the evening would be of a 'lighter' cha racter." The recent fair at Horticultural nail, in this city, for the benefit of the Baptist Home, proved a success. Nearly $7000 was realized for the Baptist Home for the Aged and In firm which went into operation this week. LUTHEBAX. ' The Norwegian Lutherans in this coun try now number 250 congregations. During 1870 fourteen pastors were ordained and six new churches erected. Twenty young Swedes have been "im ported" by Professor Ilaeselquist, of the Lu theran Theological Seminary , at Paxton, Illinois. , REFOBMED. Mr. Edward H. Green and sisters, of Eanton, Pennsylvania, have presented the lot on the northeast corner of Fourth and Spring Garden streets, Easton, to the Dutch Re formed Congregation,' as a site for a new church. The congregation have accented it. and a committee has already been appointed by the congregation to superintend the erec tion of the church. From the Reformed Church Messenger we learn that of the Reformed preachers in this oountry "there are over three hundred who can; preach in German. There are also over four hundred who can preach in the English language, A large proportion of these can oHioiate in both German and Eng lish, as occas on may require. The smaller number can use only one language; that is, some can only use the German and some can only use the English in their public minis trations. There are probably very few de nominations whose ministry in general ave rages a more thorough scholarship in theologi cal science than that of the Reformed Church in the United States." BOMAN CATHOLIC. The Gazette of Augsburg reports that the Prussian Minister of Public Worship de cidedly discourages the opposition of a num ber of Catholio professors to the Pope, and the bishops who endeavor to enforce the doc trine of infallibility. He is reported to have in private letters expressed to the protesting professors his dissatisfaction with their oppo sition. What has been done In Bono will, with bis sanction, be repeated not only in all the universities, but even in the gymnasiums. All Roman Catholio teachers who will not ex press their submission to the new dogma are, one after the other, to be dismissed from their posts. Cardinal Cnllen has issued a pastoral on the Feast of St. Lawrence. After a biography of the "great prelate," bis Eminence attacks the Voltairians of the continent, and then complains that "a press calling itself national or Irihh not unfreqnently assails religion and its ministers, and defends Fenianism, Free masonry, and secret societies, the bane aud scourge of every country where they take root." Finally, he bids his flock pray for the Pontiff, and alludes to the "evils of a mixed system of education," and the "de si ens of Dr. 'Whately and others now un masked." Aa to the Catholio University ins tunnenoe says: (Jatuonos nave a right to dewwid tnat aa institution so long supported by our own unaided efforts should receive a meet endowment from the publio resources of the kingdom. We should not cease to urge this measure on the Legisla ture,' resting assured that the intolerant bigo try and ignorance which have hitherto opposed our claims mast ery soon yield before the justness of -oar demands and the growing iberality -of our statesmen, who in the Church and Land acts have shown a determi nation to do justice to Ireland. Oar exer tions and our petitions should not cease nntil we shall have a Catholio university, Catholio middle schools, and Catholio primary schools, all receiving assistance from the publio funds of the country. ' The condition of affairs in Rome has given rise to some Apprehension as to the safety tf the funds collected for the endow ment of the American College. The New York Tablet is authorized to state that all the funds are safely invested in first-class Ameri can securities. KUNDAT-SOnOOL ANNIVERSARY. The Landreth Sunday-school was organized in the old homestead at Landreth Garden, Federal street, west of Long lane, now Twenty-second street, January 17, 1847. The population now gathering in that seotion, according to the recent- census, surpasses in numbers most other parts of our city, and presents to-day to the Christian Church one of the most fruitful fields for Home Mission work in the city. The twenty-fourth anni versary of this school will be observed on Sabbath afternoon, 15th inst., at half-past 2 o'clock. DIVIDENDS, ETO. ngy- : PHILADELPHIA.
