" Thoutanda of slncoro people arc tUlar- red from entering the church and taking upon thomeclves the vows of a OhVlstian , boi\U80 of thulr inability to rccolvo the teachings of the pulpits on this eabjoat. They nro wanted In the most aolomn language that "condomnatioti ia based upon unbelieving , and not simply on sin , ' ' You may find a man" ( it is raid ) "who IB to Ml appearance i respectable , moral , upright , full of intrgrity , ami worthy of adinfrali'ii. However , if ho isantmbo- Ihvor in the Son of God , that man is condemned cqtully with tbo man that lies in the gutter equally with the nun who oppo.-o ) Gcd in every net of hi ] mind , budy and soul " Now , the to ii a clear proposition con tained in thu'o words to tao effect tint nccoptnnca with God d panels more , in fact altogether , upon the operation of n mind rather than upon the action of n life. life.A A mnn may bo motnl , upright , full of integrity , nnd worthy of admiration , a perfect man , end yet because cf his fail ure to g'nsp intellectually a great Chris tina doctrine , his uprightness , moral i'y and integrity count for nothing in the night and judgment of God , in whoso sight ho is condemned equally with the man who , because of his wickedness Hoi in the gutter , and who opposes God by a life of depravity ao extreme that it controls him In every not of his soul , and mind , and body. Nothing could bo plainer than the moaning of these words. The question is. are they true ? Is this the judgment of God , or the invention of man ? If the former , wo have no appeal. If such is the verdict of the Almighty God , our only course is to bow before the aw ful mystery , the nnsolvablo problem that la placed before us , and confess that God works In n mysterious way Ills wonders to perform ; that His ways arc not our ways , nor His thoughts our thoughts ; and our poor human judgments utterly at fault in the most sorioui affairs of life not only man's nflalro in this life , but his eternal interests in the llfo to come , If Bach bo the judgments of God wo should have no dltlloulty in ascertaining the fact in the book of the revelation of Hii will to mon. To the law , and to the testimony then , for its support and con tradiction. In the Old Testament wo are taught that tin came into the world by an act of dlaobedianca ; tint the cuuo of the flood was the wickedness of mm who HvoJ npon tha earth ; and that all the punish ments aflltctod upjn individuals or npon nations , was the reiult of the violation of God's law not because of unbelief. Wo are taught to BOO this truth in the lives of the patriarchs , the judges , the prophoto , the kings and tha common people of the Jewish nation. Men rose and fell , and tholr nations iburlshod or decreased in proportion as they obeyed these laws of God or disregarded them , ' God proclaims himself to' bo a righteous judge visiting the nina of the wicked upon their headi , and protecting the innocent. "Behold , alt souls are mine ; the eosl that oinnoth , it shall die. " Hzek. 18 4 That slnnoth without one word about believing. Shall not the judge of all the earth do right is the one prevailing thought under lying the concaptiona of God , in tbo minds of the writers of the eld toatiment. In contradistinction to the unjustnoaa of the creature man , is overmado to appear the inflexible justica to God. "Ho hath ahowed the , O man , what n good ; and what doth the Lord require of thee butte to do justly , and to love mercy , and to walk humbly with thy God. " Micah , vi8. vi8.In In thooght and word the opinion of thoan old ttstamont worthies ia that the Lord will render to every man according to his deeds , and according to his up- rJghtnota and the cloanlincos of his hands. Must wo change this conception when wo come to the new testament ? Is It : i new and deistical revelation , rather than fulfilling of the old ? What la its de sign and character ? Does God cease to bo tha righteous Judge and demand as the requisite for salvation not a lifo of active righteous ness but an intellectual aesont to certain dogmas and modes of thought ? If the old theology is correct , tbiu la the natural inference. But ia it correct ? Has it authority to u'tor ' such declarations at those quoted tor you in the beginning of those rematks ? Lot us eco. The pauagos in the now testament which declares that salvation depends upon a righteous belief Bonn meny and pltia. "llo that balii.voth and ia baptizad shall bo sivod.

" , "Ho that baliaveth not ii judged already. Or take the text which stands at the head of the sermon I have quoted from. Whcro in that text can wo draw such teaching as that "Condemnation is based on unbcl ov ng , and not a inply on sin ?

Tin love of God for niulul man then fo'loVe the verse declaring that God Rent llii Son into the world not to judge the woild , but tbat tha woild through Hur might be saved. Do tbat belief oth on Uimii not judged , lie tha1beliavell not has been judged alreaoy , boraute hi hath not believed on the name o : the only begot'en Son cf God And this la thu judgment : That tbo Ugh' has come into the world , and the met love the darkness rather than the light Why ? Because their deeds are evil. " Si that belief In the Lord Je iu Christ Ii shown by the eomlnjfto the 1'ght , and thi proof of this coming to the light ia de clare * to bo the forsaking of that whlcl la evil. Belief In tha SD of God in thii paesago la evidently equivalent to fonaV- ing evil and doing gool- loving the Jlgb rather than thu darkuoaa. Again In verai ; U > of the aama chapter , waaco that obod iencj ia thu evidence of belief in the Soi of God. Where ia the authority for tha atsor tion that "condemnation ia bawd on nn believing and not simply on Bin ? " Whi It is evident from text and context , trm tin and unbelief , as well as goodness am belixf , are mod as synonymous tirmf. The fumkng 9 ! evil Ii the vvidvnc orreanlt of shuo belief not Iho true oellaf tbo ovldenco of n good and ho'y life , The value of an InMloctnalbflhf is shown In the Baying of Chtiit , "Not every ono that saith unto me , Lord , Lord , " ( that i i , acknowledge mo as such ) "shall cuter into the kingdom of heaven , hut ho tbat doeth the will of my Father which is In heaven. " The worth of such n belief Is alto hewn by St. James. "Thou believed hat Oed is one thou docst well the devils also bclievo nnd tromblo. " But heir belief and trembling does not trans- brm them Into angels of light any mote han the blasphemous expressions if perfect bell a f in Jcstn Christ ns tholr Savior uttmd by vile wretches on the gallows In obedience to luch teachings as I have quoted , make hose wretches fit Inhabitants of a heaven whoso very atmosphere would scorch their 'oul natures In the blazing light of its iuiity and sinless perfection , 1 look In aln through the new testament for any lUthority to change the conception of God as a rlghtooua judge as one loving Ightcousncas and hating iniquity , and , ; lvljgto every man according to hia works. But how can God bo raid to ba just , , nd yet make no distinction between the uat and perfect man and the man op- tosod to him in every act of his body , oul and mind ? Between the man who walks erect and free living a lifo of conscious integrity and the vile wretch whoso naturariiomo is the gutter and ho prlsDn ? This putting a correct belief before ifo and character is putting a premium on hypocrisy. It is judging the fruit by ho tree instead of the trca.by the fruit. it is destroying the Idea of personal ac countability to Almighty God , which Daniel Webster declared to bo the greatest thbught that had over occupied his mind. True belief Is a mortal aot a direct acceptance of God's truth in simple sbedlanca. It la itself n holy lifo noi Iho canao of that llfo. It Is not an intellectual acceptance of the doctrlno of .ho trinity or the atonement. It Is a 'allowing ' of God and Ohrint , forsaking vll , and choosing the goot $ " And our uty is to recognize the presence of that rue belief , wherever wo see iti proaonca n a greater or less degree. The Christian doctrlno is not an intel lectual proposition as to which rruiy and may not bo received. Ohrlstlari faith i ] lot a faith which leads a man's head ight , but his heart. A man may bclievo right and act wrong or believe wrong and aot right but in these two cases there can no doubt jxlst as to which Joaus or the apostles would have called saving faith. The man who fell among thieves waa neglected by the priest mid the Lavito whoso belief was all right , and succored 'ay the Samaritan whoso belief was wrens ; n their eyes. The ono showed tlio worth if a head belief , and the other of the bo- lot of the heart. The preaching of Christ , and the preaching of a holy life , were never separated. Ho did not preach doctrine and practice. His doctrlno was racttco. See Matt , xli , 31. A man may believe all the doctrines of ho Christian church and all the confos- iona of faith and yet bo a moral leper in his heart and lifo. Would you see Panl's estimate of head > allef , see 1st Tim. , 5-8. Hero wo find bat a man who neglects his household lutlos is accounted woreo than a man who denies the Christian faith. This is .ho teaching of the inspired apostle. It s bolter for yon to disbelieve the Chris tian faith intellectually than to bo a bad husband and bid father. I.do not deny , mark you , the advan- ago of a true belief. It is Important , but not BO essential ns the belief * of the heart , in the need of obedience and love .0 God and nun. A sailing vessel in mid-ocean struggles j.against wind and wave , and makes but little headway , while there sails grandly past it a vessel without a sail , making rapid headway. What is the secret ? Is it a steam vessel .vlthdown below , between the docks that nighty power. The winds are mighty , but steam ia mightier. And the heart of man is God's steam power , which speeds the vessel of our llfo to the eternal shore n spite of the winds and tides of Intel- cctual error to the land "Whcro faith is lo t In eight , And patient hope is crowned , And everlasting light , Its glory thrown around , " 's uoncerr.

As deacrlbed by the lat ter , Auatin waa n thorough Bowery boy , weighed only 135 pounpa , but would fight big 'Tom" Byor if provoked , nnd hod such a dj&llke for the lettar "w" and such a posltrvo affection fortholotlor "v" that ho always aubatitutad the latter for the fcrmor In his npooch. Macroady liked to aloop Itito.and to breakfast luxu riously In hia loom. Ono morning "Johnny"Austlnon hia way to the hot.-l breakfast table , mot in the corldor o waiter bearing .V'aalvor on which waa a ' sybaritic re past. "HoreJ darky1 !

Deaplto the proteata. of the frightened alavo , Austin snovod him.into hia room , and took hia burden from him. While ho was eating the dainty food Ilyndera entered his roam. "Look hero ! " cried Austin , holding up a chicken wing. "That British willin was going to hare all theao nice things In his room , and an American citlzan like mo was oxpectoa to g3 down to the table. I guess the willin will go down stairs this morning. " The remonstrances of. Rymtara had no effect on Austin's oppetlto. Macready's breakfast was disposed of without hia nld. Rynders went to the office , nnd arrived there just in tlrao to aavo the waiter from a whipping by explaining that Mr. Austin h&d playad n little" trick on Mr. Macroady. The proprietor of the hotel know both Rynderc and Austin , and rather enjoyed the atl'ilr. Meanwhile Macroady hid called repeatedly for his breakfast. Hla'ongry protoita ngalntt Its play finally compelled tho'olork to send im aa explanation , -which only irritated im the more. Stalking down to the dice he angrily ead ! < to the proprietor : "Why , 3lrdo ( you allow' ' such a scurvy .rick . to bo played jri your housu ? Is the ' . ' * ' ' mn hero yet ? "Yes he's hero. ' , That's him over .hero , " and the proprietor pointed to Austin , who stood in the further end of ho room looking as demure as a Bowery toy could. "Why do you not kick him out , sir ? ' "Well , Ho won't let'.himself bo kicked. Bc'a the kind of roan that makes trouble if anybody goes to kick liira. " "A little fellow like - , that make xoublo ? " said Macready , incredulously. "Yes , sir , a little fellow like that. Now , Mr. Mocrcady , " continued the proprietor , "a little trick has been ( played upon you t shall never bo played again. Lot mo idviso you , for your qivn aakc , to say nothing abuiit it to tliat man. " "Why for my oirasilce , sir1 ? "If you jtalk , to him he will say you lave Insulted him. Then ho will chal- engo you , and yon will have to Cght him tun away from the south. " "What a Bloodthirsty little fellow he must bal" remarked Macready no ho talked on'ay. "But , I asy , " he a dsd , oturninR and whispering into thu h jst's ia"r , "I don'tithink the little fellow ia to langoroua ES the other man. " Indi : ating Odpt , Uyndera , who stood by Aim- in'n eido , ho continuad , "I > don't like his look ! " Macready allowed hia anger to au'o- ; ido and thui e aped a call to the field of honor. Mine host secured him respite from further annoyance by tolling Rya- dors and Austin the story of his protest and procuring their promise to lot him alone , which they did , apparently , until the Aator.placo ri < jt occurred.

Over-Population In Germany. ! ontcmporary review. Germany is growing fast a pre-omin- ntly industrial country , for which the xport of ita productions is the condition f providing the population with fcod nd raw materials , and'at the same tlmo tr population is Increasing moro tapidly .ban that of any other country. The ivorago yearly lucsoasa on 10,000 Inbab- " inta ainoo 1831 was in Fiance 2G , in reat Britain 101 , and in Germany 115 , lot-withstanding a largo emigration. Thu lopulatlon of the Gorman emplro In its resent llmlto nua In round nnmboro 5,000,000 in 1810. It is now 42,500- 00 , while 3,500,000 have emigrated. Thin increase results almost exclusively 'rom the cxcesi of birtha kovor , deaths , rhilo the feeble growth of the French npulatlon is &till partly due to Imigra- lon , which proves that the Incroaoo of wealth is stronger than that of the aoplo. In Germany it is the roversa , ho amount of oxpouditarj : auBod by the acceding numbers 9 not equaled by a correspondingly ; rowlng lucomo. In Prussia tbo number f thoao exempi from all direct taxes .hat . is , whoso income did not exceed .125 , had risen within five years by ,500,000 ; it was more than 7,000,000 In 882 ; the ] statistics of otbor German itates show "a similar result , the poor atfs have increased everywhere In an ' 'arming ' proportion , and the number of 'agrama and tramps have become a gcn- ral plague. Our industrial prodndtion uffers from chronic plethora , its not pro- luce does not correspond to Its immense 'Xpaneipn , still leas is a real amelioration if the situation of the working clatsaa to > o discerned. The supply of labor gen- irally exceeds the demand ; consequently wages do not rise , and the lower strata > f the population can absorb compara- ivoly little of the mies of products which TO dally thrown upon the market , be- auso the Bcantinoas of their earnings oca not alloy them to satisfy correa- lundingly their wants. Bat In .ho . hlgncr classes also all the callings .roaho overcrowded , the incroiso of ftca- cmlcal students has boon abnormalandfar ixcecding the demand , and a considora- lo part of this BU plus of trained rorces , nding no employment , perishes or aunchcs into adventmcs. In short , very where wo find an enhanced struggle or existence , which engenders di satia- action and helplessness , and furnishes ocia democ acy with fr sh recruits I .s this overpopulation wh'ch ' is the soti'ce1 f ho largo German emigration.

Ho waa accompanied by a tiond and a at among the reporters , where he had boon placed by Captain Williams. The ex-senator , contrary to his uaual mood , was in a talkative humor and freely made comments and plBsad opinions fighting and fightera. "What is your opinion , Senator , of heao epirring matches ? " naked a reporter who sat near. "Well , I BOO no Inrm In thorn. Of : ourao if they become brutal , why they hould bo stopped. But as 1 huva soon hem and 1'vo seen a great many of bom there is nothing bad in them. For inotanco , I BOW fculllvrm box with Mitchell. I emu Mm have the opportun- ty rroro than oncu to strike ana hurt Vlitchull i' ' ho chose , and ho rcfreiaod. It is time enough to Btcp rpirrfog whcu it the verge of aptrriug ana becomes an attempt to injure a man. But when 'wo men uro evenly matched , and each Is triviog hia boat , thera Is , In my view , lotbicg harmful in the combat. " "What do you think cf Sullivan1 ! " ? "Sullivan is a wonderful mini Ho ould not stand the punishment that Tom Hycr could , ho is not so active as Yankee "Sullivan , nor so strong as John Morrissey nit BO combines these three qualities that 10 is the best man I over saw , and I've seen a great many of them. I bo'iove , ! ou'd a man-b.0 I omul who could stand the mnialiment Sullivan cm give him for five ounds ho. wotili liavo a fair chance of ivhippingriho champion. The trouble is , inch a man cannot bo found , or rather las not been. Sullivan is a fighter and a ilover Fightervjn the condition as I have said , the best man I ever saw. " "What do you think or pugilists and ; heir methods of training ! " "Pugilists , in'my belief , average but :0 : years of life. Their training is very overo , and is simply the dragging of lifo 'rom them. They begin their prcpara- ions f or figh' ' ing by losing flesh. Their nerves are hi ought to the highest tension. 11 a few days by their work they lese many pounds of flesh. Every pound of flesh so lost is the taking elF so much lifo ilood. It is weakening , opposed to all ho laws of nature and consequently bad. i marked contrasts is the system of Ed- ivard Banlon , the oaisman : Ho has out- on'ed everybody and his only training is , ho taking of walks , and the pulling of lis light boat. That is all ho docs when ircparing f r a match , and I'll guarantee hat his muscles are as soft and pliant as hose of any man in this building. That , _ n my opinion , is tha proper way. Ho does not work to reduce his llesh nor violate late any of the laws of nature. On the xmtrary ho follows nature's rules. Aa you know ho is the ablest oa-sman in the ivorld , and instead of b.o king h s health idds to and improves it. "Whaldoyou think of the so-called : knock-oiiti' glove fights " "Generally , I may say , as I told you before , when they app each such a poiii' us to Uneaten injury they should bo .topped. . But I have seen nothing of that lO'tsavoin the case of Mitchell whom Sullivan fo obovo st iking when ho could .iavo done so and so'iously injured him. Compiro a base ball match when juon break their fingers and otherwise hurt themselves , or mode n foot ball games with glove fights They are by far moro wicked and vicious nud the chances for seriously injuring those ongigod in thu game far greater than in glove fights. 1 sco moro reasons for stopping a base ball match or n foot ball game than I do a glove fight , unless the contestants are about to seriously injure each other. " At this juncture Sul ivnn and Ryan stepped into the nn ? and stripped for their fight. The ox-senator eyed them with the earnestness of acritic for a few ra omen's ' and thus commented : "Sulli van ism JTO puffy than I over saw him beforo. Ryan is in perfect trim. I be lieve , as the two men stind to night , Ryan is in far better condition than Sulli van , and. for that ivntoii will stand a very good chance with him. " Mr Conklitijj clojely watched the fpw seconds hard fighting , and seemed lis- gtistcd when the police put a atop to it. All the poor of Naplei win die on i certain day are buried on the tame oven log in a pit just outside of the city , tin Innocent child bcini ; thrown in with the dead convict. A rccmt writer tolls ol sioing boilea brought by dozens to the pit inked on wheelbarrows' or the backi of their friends.
