Natioual Bank of Commerce of Boston,
which lius occupied the United .Slates Cir

verdict for plalntltf for H4.5H1 2.1. The
cult was brought to recover damages for
negligence on the pnrt of thn defendants
in giving up to consignees the hills of la
ding of a lot of cotton, upon the accept
tuioe, by the consignees, of a thirty day's
draft drawn against the shipment and at
tached to the hills of lading, aud sent on
to the defendant's bank for collection. The
pluintitfs contend that it was the duty ol
the ban’- to keep the collatteral until the
drall was paid, and that by reason ol
giving up the bills of lading me plalulilfs
lost their security, the consignees having
tailed, before the expiration of the thirty
days, after accepting it.

RELIGIOUS NOTES”' * ;
I" * The churches, iu this country at least,
uo more apply the rack to extort confes
sions of guilt and exterminate heretical
doctrine 0 That is to say, material instru
ments of torture at aids to confession aud
faith are uot used. Moral pressure and
fear of excommunication ure sometimes
equally effective, while they are less cruel
The Ucv. Samuel Watsnu. a minister of
) the Methodist Episcopal church, was
lately charged with •• heresy " before Hie
Memphis conference. The raorsl rack
was tried and saved the brother. He was
charged with “heresy and violation of or
dinance vow ” Among the specifications
were "teaching that there is a necessiti
for a more tangible proof of tire doctrine
of immortality than is contained in Holy
Scriptures." "Teaching that the spirits
of the wicked can in the future state pro
gress to purity, aud become fitted for
heaven." "Teaching instead of banishing
the erroneous and strange doctriuc of
necromancy." There were other doc
trinal s[>eciflcation.s, hut Hie whole
fact is that the Itev Watson was
a believer in so-called spiritualism,”
and had written and published a hook en
titled, "The Clock Btriiok One,” which
was pronounced by the elders of the
church to be full of heresies. The rever
end gentleman was in a tight place before
the ecclesiastical court, and made an an
swer to the charges which proved entirely
•utiHfactory. He deeply regretted that lie
had put himself in opposition to the
Judgment of the church when his iatent
was to promote its interests. Ife agreed to
stop teaching spiritual doctrines and to
suppress so far as lie could the sale and
circulation of tbs book, "The Clock
Struck One." He agreed to yield all that
was asked of him iu order to enjoy the
fellowship anil confidence of the members
of the church until he died. The com
inittee accepted bin upnlogy, and reported
it to the conference, which endorsed the
action of the committee and took nn miuii
imous vote on tho reverend brother's
character. He was thus reinstated. He
did not renounce liia belief iu spiritualism,
uor was he required to do so. He simply
agreed not to taacli it, and proposed to
walk in the old paths of Methodism. He
ia at liberty to believe w hat he pleases, but
has pledged himself to teach sound church
doctrines.— St. I avia '! 'ivbtiran.
Q Can you not, in a few words, give
some instruction and encouiagement to
those who have a difficulty about feeling
that there is a heavenly Father who hears
and miswers prayer '!
Mk. Rkecuer : There is a gift of pl ay
er in Ilia constitution of tuen, us much us
there is n gift of poetry or oratory, or math
ematics. or anything else. Some natures
are praying natures My observation of
people goes to show that the praying cle
ment is us much an original and constitu
tional element with some, ns any tempera
ment or disposition. They are the men
who, if this gift is consecrated, and if they
are intelligent, become princes of prayer
Then come a larwp -.ai.n . class, who
have <-- i-“Otlity. hut no original im
veiling force, in that direction. If they
pray when they are warm, they are con
scions of success ; but if they pray when
they are cold, they do not suppose their
praying amounts to much. They are like
wood which, if it is dry uud in good trim,
burns brightly, but which, if it is greeu,
only sizzJes when you put it on the tire.
And then come a caution and skeptical
class And these I am not disposed to
blame. Jly mind never turns against a
man who tells me that lie is naturally a
doubter, and that be does not see bis wsy
clear to accept this or that or the other
thing My sympathies go out toward
him Constitutionally, lam an immense
believer in spots, and au immense skeptic
in spots. 1 have gone through days of
darkness and nights of anguish ton many,
ever to have any feeling but that of the
warmest and most yearning sympathy for
a man whose heart reluctates. I have
known years when my prayer was, “Lord.
I believe, O help my unbelief!”—and the
unbelief was the larger part.
In regard to this third class of nat
urallys keplical persons, who are scattered
through the community. 1 would say that
this disposition to doubt is found in men
of the strongest moral temperament, the
utmost conscientiousness, and the most
upright character. Some of the best men
In citizenship are men who say, "I would
give all the world to believe in religion,
but I couuot.” Aud with suelt men as
these the question is one of education and
of time. It is a question of growth with
them. I believe that in most instances
ttisy can be led, little, by little, out of the
state of apprebensiou. and hesitancy, and
reluctant unbelieving . but it cannot be
done in a minute. God lias patience with
them.and they must have patience with
themselves.
Only thorough woik is worth doing.—

and we shall almost despair of curing them.

ful friends and sarcastic neighbors,to judge
severely thoso tilings which we have es
caped, and to rate highly the virtues which

Let there be close and faithful dealing
with thoso whom we takointo tho church.
Let us be more concerned about quality
than quantity. “They are not all Israel
winch are of Israel."
liod never turns his servants off to shift
for themselves in old age. No . for when
they are unable to work or walk he will
keep them, il it be only to look at. I!o
assured of it. he will t ike good care of
you.
God kuows whaf is best for us, and
doubtless aces that tests are as important
to his moral universe as a chemists analy
sis is to determine the philosophy of com
pounds. or a builder's ’rials of the strength
of materials.
The l.ord takes up none but the for
saken, makes none healthlv but the sick,
gives sight to none but the blind, makes
uone alive but the dead, sanctifies none
but sinners, and gives w odom to none but
the foolish.
Not by quantity, but by quality will we
be judged in the cud." Therefore our
greatest aim should be at purity of life and
j heart, and iu getting as many ss possible
; to join us iu the work of saving themselves
and the world.
A pure heart is a sincere heart. It is
true to its convictions. It houeotly in
quires after the right way. with a deter
mination to take it at all haxzatda. It does
not hold Jbe truth in unrighteousness. It
practices what it believes.
If we diiobejr the dictate’s of conscience,
even in the most trifling particular, or
allow ou ret Ives to do what we have some

grow more and more sleepy, until the

Washington, D. C , Dec I—A hh
introduction to the subjoined letter it is
proper to state that Mr. Greeley was a
warm personal ftieud of Charles Lamnan,
to whom it was addressed. Mr. Latimau's
catlier essays as it writer were published
in the New Yorker. Although lie never
participated in politics, Mr. Greeley occs
sionnlly favored him witli letters of advice
and took s special interest m the success
of his dictionary of Congress. Mr.
Greeley's lust uote to Mr. Lantnan is as
follows
New Yoke, June 27. 1872-
Friend Lanman: —Received yours of
the 25th itist. I have all my life been
doing wrliat people called vastly foolish,
impolitic acts, and I did not dispute their
judgment. 1 only saiil that what 1 did
neemed to me the right thing. If I should
die before election or be beaten therein,
please testify fur me that 1 do uot regret
navittg braved public opinion wlteu 1
thought irwrnng anil knew it to be mere!
less Yours, lloitAi k Greei.kt.
A LIBERAL MAN'S OFFER
To the Kditor of the Sun —Sir : It is
well known that Mr. Greeley accumulated
but little money during his life-time His
uuremllted efforts were for the public,
rather than for himself. He was invaria
bly tlie champion of right, regardless of
pecuniary profit; uml no good cause ever
required assistance but lie was willing to
aid it with pen anil voice, mid if need be,
with his purse. In whatever lie did he
Imd in view the benefit of the people, who
in the end rewarded liis labors by breaking
his heart. His readiness to assist private
suffering aud necessity is familiar to all.
One of Hie charges brought against him
by his enemies in the late canvass was his
abundant charity, anil it is certain that his
estate cannot he large.
Under these circumstances I would sug
gest that Hie fund collected for a statue to
tiis memory lie paid to his family. His
works art; are his l-est monument, which
will tower higher and become more con
spicuous as tlie nation recedes from his
age, aud, freed front party bitterness, can
look buck on his career with uu impartial
eye. liven his iocs feel sorrow for his
death, and perhaps would increase a trib
ute to the worthy qualities of the greatest
anil noblest man of our day. Tlie public
may still partially atone for its ingratitude
by its libenuty, and prove it wits from no
want of appreciation of his virtues and ser
vices that the people fuilcd to give him
their suffrages lor President.
in case litis suggestion meets your ap
proval, you may increase my subset ip lion
to five times its original amount.
Yours very respectfully
