METHOD]?! MINISTERS.
The New York East Dish-kt Associations
Semi-Annual Meeting.
The semiannual meeting of the New
York East District Ministerial Associa-
tion begin in the Methodist church, this
city, Mmday evening, and continued
through Tuesday and a part of Wednes-
day. Owingto the detention of Rev. J.
w. Burnlurt, who was to preach Mon-
day evening. Elder Cheney said he
would have to do as they did during the
Revolution in emergencies, call for
“Minute Men.“ and Revs. Messrs. Robin~
son and Russ, were called unexpectedly
to speak. Methodist ministers, some—
how, are alwws loaded, and the rever-
end gentlemen talked apparently as well
as though the" had specially red
themselves for the occasion. llr. rn~
hart came an hour late. and it was de-
cided he must preach. and he gave a
powerful sermonon Salvation.
Tuesdays exerdsee legal: about uar.
for past nine. and a." prayer by v.
Mr. Hall the minutes of the pin-avious
meeting were read by Secretary omp—
son an approved.
Rev. \V'. J. Whiu then spoke on "How
to make Sabbath Services more Effec-
tive.“ He gave hisviews with clearness
and force. He considered it the most
important and practical question to be
considered by Methodist, ministers. as a
due observance of the services of God‘s
house could only sue the Christian Sab-
bath front its enemies. Through all the
ages the day hasan owned and blessed
of God. The tendmcy of the church
has been of late to flake Sunday services
attractive and popular. The object of
the Methodist servicss is the worship of
God, and this object should be empha-
sized. The church is not a place of
amusement or entertainment, and while
it is a good thin to have a certain
amount of form in t 9 service. they are
not the essentials. and should not be used
as a substitute for a higher devotion.
lie favored congregational singing The
tendency is to drift may from this devo-
tion. But one fifth of the Methodist
churches in New Yet city have congre-
gational singing. He held that the peo-
ple were benentted by singing God‘s
praises. and thought they ought to sing
and that ministers ought to urge them
to sing. Choirs are [pod to lead in sing-
ing but should not do‘the singing for the
miple. lie advocated a return to the
old attitude of kneeling when prayer is
offered, and that the people should join
with the preacher in midiny repeating
of the Loid's prayer. lie also favored
Bible reading during the service, and
responsive reading of the Psalms. The
sermon should not be Considered a fine
thing but a solemn message from God.
Its object should he the salvation of men.
Tliirtv years ago «unions were less phi-
losophical and polished but more forci-
ble. There should be more frequent ap-
peals to those who are lost, and inquiry
meetings at the close of service exhibited
an interest that was felt. The preacher
should seek a baptism from on high be-
fore deliveringa sermon. lie favored
revivals. The Methodist church is a re-
vival church. Should this feature of the
church be taken fro it. its history and
’nowvg‘ vvoukl he dew“ dyed,
A lengthy and interrsllng discussion
followed. Rem Mr. Lightbourn thought
the best means of making the church
popular was effective preaching. lie
was opposed to anecdotes In the pulpit
and wished that all encyclopedias of an-
ecdotes could be burned. Illustrations
should be taken from nature. In prayer
preachers should get near God. but-
withstanding his op ition to anec-
dotes, before setting own. he resorted
to one which caused considerable laugh-
ter. ‘
Rev. Mr. \\'ing was willing to have the
encyclopedias of anecdote destroyed, but
he believed a minister should compile
e for himself. “‘hen he reads he
sh 1d lay away every incident and an-
ecdote. and use them when they would
do good. The power of preaching be
believed to be the feeling of sympathy.
People don‘t listen to preaching for in—
struction but for help.
Rev. Mr. Osborne considered the sc-
cret of good preaching to be its earnest-
ness and naturaliiess.
Rev. Mr. Nash favored preaching for
present effects.
Rev. Mr. Estes said every human soul
was hungry. l’reachin should be_to
satisfy that hunger. ‘eo le admire
style. but they need food. he farther
vou go for style the nearer you approach
Rome, and the father you get from God.
The object of the church is not to amuse
but to save. The gm can be prcrcbed
with either great w' cm or i norancc,
so far as the world is concern . and suc~
coed. When the minister makes a sin-
ner feel he is a sinner he is a successful
preacher. _
Rev. C. S. Wing read a very interest-
ing review of “Dr. Starr‘s Divine Origin
of Christianity as Indicated by its His.
toricsl Effects."
Rev. Mr. Pullman, who seemed to be,
as one of his brother miniders said, the
uprovolrci'." complimented tbe,esssyist.
and then criticised the author of the
work reviewed for corn nag Christi-
anity at its beet with _ at its
worst. He inclined to the belief that all
religions were from God, and held that
the ethical co ions of the world are
no higher than they were three thousand
years ago. . ~
The next fipfl was on “Evolution ‘
by Rev. Mr. 'ghtbourn, and was a gen-
eral digest of the doctrines of the lead—
iu evolutionists. Evolutionists be said
"° di ”“flifwtfiil.” -°'.. “"‘ °'
ii es. so w i
”if. Pullman followed by venturing
the opinion :that evolution had come to
stay. It could not be reasoned or sneer-
cddovru.aud istobeoneot the perma-
nent beliefs of the human race. and he
did not consider it hardly fair to identi-
fy atheism with evoluuou.
Mr. Barnhart could not see how the
world was to be benefittod b an accept-
ance of evolution. He understand
the creation of bricks better. than their
differentiation. 0 theory of evolution
could never be proved true or false. It
is and always will be a theory and never
a determinate science.
Elder Cheney said there were degrees
of receiving the general doctrine of evo-
lution. _ ubioua ,
m 8m 0... see.
mont as ever. He compared the res
cut with the beginning of Meth lSlll.
when it came in direct conflict with
the doctrines of Calvinism. The
doctrine of free salvation was then new
and antagonistic. Now it was generally
endorsed in fact if not in theory. He
held that emotion was a movement of
the mind and soul. and it was not new
essarily exhibited in noise. though it
could and did thus often find expres.
sion. even at- this time.
The discussion was participated in by
Revs Lightbourn. “again. Estes and
Thompson. and religious emotion was
defined as a stirrii to the extent of our
sensibilities. Mr. ates said men were
apt to judge the experience of others by
t ieir own, holding their own to be
and that of others worth notliin . W's
ought to learn by experience our must-
kcep race with increase of knowledge
and 0 range of customs. To go back to
Weslev, would be to turn back the world.
and at cannot be done. We must
adapt ourselves to our accumlated ex~
periences. He held that no one will be
converted until convinced he is a lost:
sinner. Then he is reached by heart pow-
cr. Noisy conversions are not essential,
Conversions should not end in smoke,
but make men strong. true. noble. grand
and considerate.
Rev. “J. D. Thompson‘s review of
"Druiniiiond's Natural Law in the Spirit-
ual “"orlii.” was a severe criticism on
its teachings, which be pronounced per-
nicious and opposed to Scri iture. If his
analysis was correct his du uctions were
conclusive. The paper was received
with general ftp roval and a vote of
thanks although t mm was a difference
of opinion about the book being harmful
although it might be seductive.
Owing to the length of the discussions,
Rev. t‘. M. I’egg‘s paper on "Zilarrizige
and Divorce" was omitted at the authors
request.
A vote of thanks “as extended to the
pastor and sexton of the church and
friends who had provided entertainment.
The meeting was declared to be the larg-
est and most interesting ever held by the
association.
Shell Fish Conuniasionern.
The report of the shell fish commis-
sioners, prepared by Judge Pike. has
been read to the board and approved.
It covers only seven months, owing to
the change in the fiscal year. The.
engineers have set 192 buoys and made
22 surveys. There Were 613 22400 acres
of ground designated. for which $674.57
were received : 63 applications are now
pending which will vield 84,812.04.
‘our deeds are ready fordelivery, cover-
ing 2.184 1-10 acres. which will yield
82.361191. Since June I, 1881, the
whole number of applications received
is 603. and there have been granted to
applicants 45.607 S~10 acres, for which
the state has received $50,934.58. Be
fore the commission was organized town
committees had designated 33,987 9-10
acres: so that now the oyster growers
hold 79.655 acres : of which 16,201 7—10
acres are cultivated. The number of
taxpayers is 423: of whom 93 own each
10 acres and under : 33 own from it to
25 acres apiece : 152 own from ‘36 to 100
acres: and 145 own each 101 acres and
11me (haltinntad ground: am no.
stantantly increasing in extent, but
many acres are held for speculative
puqiosea. The year‘s taxes have been
promptly paid. The most important
work of the commissioners is flint of
surveying and mapping the. grounds
within the state‘s jurisdiction, which
had been designated by town commit—
tees before lr‘cll. There are 772 lots of
all sizes and shapes scattered under the
waters of the Sound : and to map them
properly, a good deal of suveying and
mapping has been done. Attention has
recently been given to redeeming muddy
grounds and. it is believed, with promise
of success. The coming summer will
solve the problem. The total receipts
of the office for the seven months are
$6,568.72. The total expense for same
time are $5,030.68.
For November.

The handsome new cover of the
Domestic Monthly gives it avery gay
appearance. The November number is
an exceedingly attractive one. It con~
tsins several exquisitely illustrated
articles, notably one on “Central Ameri-
can Women,“ and several lull-page
engravings. The illustrations of the
Domestic are acknowledged to be equal
to those of the. highestpricai magazines.
The Fashion Department of the mags-
zine is as complete as ever. Winter
costumes for ladies. children and gentle-
men are all described and explained in
that practical helpful style for which
the Domestic is noted. Everything is
profusely illustrated. The Domestic is
undoubted! the best magazine for
women, an it is also the cheat t.
The Domestic Monthly is pu lished st
853 Broadway. corner Fourteenth Street,
New York, at $1.50ayear. For $3.00
the magazine one vear and two new
books, “Needlework“ and “Knitting

of stitches and designs.

A THEI\'ES DEN BROKEN l'l'.
Large Capture of Stolen Goods. But Ills-
cape of the Thief.
About nine years ago a man giving
the name of \Villiam Fredericks. and his
wife, took up their abode in a but near
the Red Mills in Middle Five Mile River.
No one knew where they came from.
and they were su'pposcd to be tramps.
They behaved themselves well and crest-
ed a favorable impression. In a year or
two they went to New Canaan to take
care of Daniel Davis,au old man suppos~
ed to be power! of considerable means.
About five years ago Davis died. but
none of his supposed wealth was found.
Fredericks and his wife then moved
back to Middle Five Mile River and rent
ed a house belonging to Dr. Sands. It
was noticed that their circumstances
were greatl improved. They lived
well and ha plenty of money. Freder-
icks business transactions, however, ex~
cited suspicion, as he sold a good many
thin that were never seen on his ace.
Last iday there was stolen from ht.
0. Raymond. New Canaan. 2 tube of
butter, 1 lamb, 2 large bolognas and 2
sides of beef. Mr. Raymond and officer
Ezra Hall tracked the stolen goods to
Fredericks. They then came to this city
and called on Sheriff Swartz, who dep-

No Opposition to the Shore Road.
The special town meeting last Satur-
day afternoon to rescind or media the
vote appropriating $3,000 to bui the
shore road, was largely attended. Post-
master Olmstead was chosen moderator.
Rev. G. llaulenbeck explained that the
meeting had not been called tooppose
the improvement but to discuss and con-
sider the best plans for its construction
with a view to having the work done in
the most economical manner. A motion
was made to adjourn but was voted
down. Mr. Haulenbeck moved that a
committee of three be appointed to obtain
estimate, of cost of road and secure
right of way. The motion was put. but
there was not a vote for it. The meeting
then adjourned. If there was any op-
position to the roadit did not show Il-
self at the meeting. No further-obstacles
will be put in the way of the improv&
men: and the shore road will be built.

received Biblical names. The one
were wedded on January 1. 1871, and
lived happily till December 39. 1883,
when the wife left her home. Gradu-
ally it dawned on him that the wife had
broken the marriage covenant with a
man named Thomas A. Price whom she
had taken in ass brnrder while the
husband was absent in Crete, 11L, as
superintendent in a factory. Her be-
trayer left her some tigne after. and
Mammine is living now desolate and
worse than awrdow. with an aunt in
South Norwalk, Coun., with a constant
reminder other sin before her eyes in
the shape of her youngen child—Aloah
«which she acknowledged to her hus-
band was Price‘s offspring. Conic
himself went to South Norwal as soon
as he had ascertained his guilty wife
had finally fled there for a refu , and
took the three children be ac wl-
edges as his back with him to Chicago.
Mrs Cattle is a music teacher, and lived.
some time after the tioo. in
Euglewood, with Mr. Price. calling her-
self Mrs. Antes, and introducin Price
in public as her brother until ex-
posure came. causing considerable ex-
