After the passage of the Stamp act James Otis said: “It is the duty of all numbly and silently to acquiesce in all the decisions of the SupremeLegislature. Nine hundred and ninety-nine in athousand will never entertain a thought but ofsubmission to pur sovereign and to tlio authority of Parliament in all possible contingencies.” if this was true, then Samuel Adams was the thou-1/Insandth man. tut it was very far from being true,IdSamuel Adams was the subject of the lecture delivered by the Bov, John White Chadwick in tlio Second Unitarian Church last evening. Hesaid:The present time is specially appropriate for tho consideration of the life and character of Samuel Adams. In a few days we shall be celebrating the final scene of the last act of the groat Revolutionary drama which began in 1760 with the accession of George III. to the British throne and which ended with the occupancy by Washington of the Presidential chair. I am aware thatthe Revolutionary period is not always reckonedin this manner. The surrender of Cornwallis in 1781 or the evacuation of New York in 1788 is of toner regarded as its final term. But from the surrender of Cornwallis or the evacuation of New York to the inauguration of Washington there were battles to be fought and victories to be wou of not loss importance than Saratoga or Trenton or York town, in which, though much bad blood was engendered, little, either good or bad, was shed. It would be as absurd to begin at Lexington as to end at lorktown. The inauguration of Washington was the real end of the Revolution. And as we draw near to the anniversary of that end what could be more appropriate than to turn again for a little while to the beginning and contemplate the events m which tlio Revolution took its rise and the man who was so pre-eminent in shaping those events to a glorious issue, that as often as the glorious Fourth comes round the name of Samuel Adams should be above ail names. The Revolution was a three act play. The first, this lt;and Samuel Adams would see to it that it was further eyerv day. Otis would havo been satisfied with colonial representation in the British Parliament. Adams was a Home Ruler out and out; not at first for independence any more than Parnell is for Ireland’s independence now, buttending gradually and irresistibly to that as tlioThe 1 Thi Ho atonly rational solution of the difficulty that could fcact was the act of preparation the Declaration of Independence. The secondended withwas the act of confirmation, the Bevolutionarj War. The third act was the act of reconstruction. In each act there were many entrances and exits; there were many persons on the stage, and there were movements when, it was difficult for the casual observer to discover whose was the leading part. Even at this remove it is hard to say whethciMn the third act we slmll think of Washington or Madison as first. But it is not hard to say that Washington was the leading part m the second act and that Samuel Adams7 was the leading part in the first act, whichwas longer than the othertwo, is just as plain. That is why some one has had the hardiness to suggest that not to Washington but to Samuel Adams belongs the title Father of his Country. Certain it is that Washington bore no such part as Adaius in the events that culminated in the separation of the colonies from the mother country. Adams was par excellence the organizer of independence, the fatheract as a United jnny.nved my wife and fas acting underthe secret service nt.”messed ? ’* man in any State bout extraditiont a warrant ? ”lien, to take hold ro gate's Court in a portion of tho C.

Does this distinction entitle him to be called the Father of his Country? Whether it does or not'one might as well attempt to pluck off the ring of Saturn and to encircle Jupiter with its aureole of splendor as to transfer from Washington to Adams that title of spontaneous gratitude aud admiration. In tho heat of partisan animosity, while Washington was President, some editor (scenting a foreign mission far off, it may be) called him the Stepfather of his Country. It was cruelly intended, but it rudely hinted at the simple truth that Washington was the foster father of America. It was from the loins of Samuel Adams that the glorious, creature came. The part of Washington was to defend herbe found.The Rev. Mr. Chadwick then treated minutely of Adams’ part in opposing tho Stamp act and encouraging tho colonists to resist the oppressive legislation of the mother country which finally resulted in their ultimate freedom. “It was a narrow stage,” said Mr. Chadwick, “on which Adams playod his part; the scenery that of a small provincial town. But bo playod his part snwell that those who saw and listened were inspired so do one of tho bravest things that everhas been done for God and man. In organizing the Revolution and in effdSting the Independence of America lie had many helpers, statesmen and orators of imperishablo renown. Something must bo allowed for bias of affection, when a son of Massachusetts speaks. But I believe that if wo eonld havo a historian absolutely impartial he would say that the man of the town meeting, Samuel Adams, was the master workman of them all.”Yest cold i un pie i yet 3,lt; Park t lyns o the ba errors, the bo record Jersey swift, ing. 1 bat an fieldin score 1* THE CONTEST FOR THE FAITH.Dr. iBigersoll’s .Horning Discourse at the I’uriiau Congregational Cliitrcla.The Rev. Dr. E. P. Ingersol! at the Puritan Congregational Church yesterday morning preached from the Epistle of Jude, the third verse: “Beloved, while I was giving all diligence to write unto you of our common salvation. I was constrained to write unto you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered unto the saints.” A brief resume of Dr. Ingersoll’s remarks is as follows:.Tude is known in the Gospel by several names.He is spoken of as Judas and as Thaddeus. The mixture of languages and races accounted for thin. He was known by one name among the Greeks and by another among the Jews and probably still another among the Romans. This Jude was, without question, one of the apostles. “Judas not Iscariot.” It is not a question to discuss here whether lie was or was not a brother, a cousin or another relative of Jesus Christ. He shows great meekness if he was a brother of tho Saviour inspeaking of. himself morely as a “servant.” ToPinkucCollins,Fautz,Barns,Corkin'O’Urioj•Smith,iiugho:Clark,lt; Caruth Vianer, Terry, { BashonTotalBrookljJersey 1FarmBrooklji ; Jor.smake himself more^perfectly known in liis epistleinfancy amid, the,clash of swords, to shield heitfifrom the perils of her youth, to give her away in marriage to a right, worthy suitor for her grace, and still in that indissoluble union to watch her with a loving eye until death's dimness came. Astrict interpretation of our metaphor would unquestionably assign to Adams, rather than to Washington the title “Father of liis Country.”lie describes himself as a brother of James, the apostle who had charge of tlio church at Jerusalem. The Epistle of Jude is a gem of apostolic thought and heart. It is very brief, but it is brevity with clearness and power and vital with spiritual richness and counsels of wisdom. From bis original design to writo them about the “common salvation,” he is startled by the knowledge that a great heresy had crept into the church andthat it was going hand in hand with appallingr mistake said, Jamaica, that I 5 few days after-use and almost ng that Dm dilating a Federal for a few daysI did stay in the ad been drink-con d visit.

Iladquarters and;vti about Roll-Secret Service interview with litcd States At-But if this title rightly goes to him who did tho most to give America honorable standing among the nations of the earth then it is still rightly Washington’s. It is glory enough for Adams to be called the Organizer of Independence, the Father of the Revolution. Nay, it in glory enough for liiui to have been exactly that whatever ho is called. He has been called “The Man of the Town Meeting,” and I am not sure but, eonld we consult him, he would prefer this sobriquet to any other. But of all the names by which lie has been called “Sam Adaius,” the most common, is the best. He was one of the Adams family which lias given to America more political energy and public spirit than any other family rtf its recorded time. He was a second cousin to John Adams, his great colaborer in the cause of independence, from whom he differed widely during the Presidency of Washington and John Adams’ own; differed as anti-federalist from federalist, according to the misleading terminology of the time and as democrat from aristoc^t-. He was one of twelve children, like almost everybody in those times, and was born in Boston, September 27, 1722. His mother was before him a, Puritan of the strictest sort, his father a man of public spirit holding in succession and Hinmltanouusiy many offices of public trust. He was prominent in a club called the Caulkers, which was designed “to lay plans for introducing certain persons into places of trustand power.” The father was a well to do merchant with a fine mansion on Purchase street, facing the liarbor, down to which sloped the extensive grounds. .School street gets its name from theschool house where the little Sam a tended, justback of King’s chapel where Fran din’s statue and the City Hall now stand. There is a story that he was so punctual in his goings to and fro that the working people used him as a clock. Always so stoutly Puritan the wonder isthat the “great awakening” of Edwardsami Whiteiield, which swept over New England in his later youth, did not sweep him into the ministry, the destination then of the majority of Harvard boys and the future chosen for him by his parents. He graduated at Harvard in 1740, whencorruption. He know that error in faith brought error m life—not always immediately, but ultimately—and he hastens earnestly, agonizingly to appeal to them. Loosen your slop’s anchor a little and the waves and the currents will do the rest. Sink it firmly and the waves and tides but tighten its iron arm. It is good for us to havewaves and tides if we are prepared for them. “ Stand fast for the faith.” what is the faith?It is the whole system of gospel truth, the whole revelation of God. You stand before the Old Testament as before some imprisoned treasure of art. You wonder at it as at something ancient and strange in a museum. It doesn’t concern us of to-day. Brothers, the Word—tho new and the old —concerns us now as always. Christ is the spiritof the Old Testament a* of the Now. We see ineach the conflict of humanity inspired of God. Some phases of life contending with evil areD Ibrought out in the Old that are not to be found inthe New. Faith includes tho whole system of revealed truth, and Judo speedily makes it plainxhat tho citadel of that faitli, the radiating center, is the gospel of Christ. Canthere be uncertainty as to what the inspired man means? “Ungodly men, turning tho grace qf God into lasciviousness and denying our only Master and Lord. Jesus Christ.” “Master” is here “monarch,” “sovereign”—one whose right it is to reign as an absolute ruler over us, Tims our Lord Jesus Christ is “our only Master.” The life, miracles, death, resurrection and glory of our Lord, salvation through faith in Him, sanctification of tlio heart by the spirit and blood of Christ,ill;the supreme # godhead of Christ and the IIolj Spirit—each is essential to the very life of Christian religion. Are these the means by which wo can escape from mistakes, from going a little ways out of the way ? No; sin is the curso of the. world, am* He who alone can sanctify the heart alone can save us from sin. Let us mark the clear affirmation regarding this faith. It was “once for all delivered unto the saints.” The canon of the Scriptures is full and complete. God has no more to say in regard to the great salvation. You cannot add to it, and “He that takes from it shall take his name from the Book of Life.” No inure % coming. The old dispensation gave way to the new. but the new is not to give way. It is to be the new forever. I desire to affirm the grand and precious fact that tho truths revealed in the life and teaching.? of Christ are of sovereign power. Thoy go to t ic very root of moral consciousThey estab ish obliga-camination heotcot me fromno trial began would be likely kill me. That pnty marshal),finesses,” saidfi called on to js Governmentturer years is evidenced by his theme for the degree of M* A.: “Whether it be lawful to resist the supremo magistrate, if tlio Commonwealth cannot otherwise be preserved.” It is significant ofa certain quality of prevision in the Harvard dons that John Adams’ commencement part some fifteen years later was the only part assigned that was not theological. I have read it on the yellowed paper of the time but have forgotten what it was—some matter of civil government. Samuel Adams would have been a lawyer and that he should havet been, for the event discovered thatha had no mercantile capacity, when to please lijH parents ho hud taken up with mercantile pursuits.

T lolds his private business an ic weal is not apt to make his malt house a’suc-ee.ss. From the beginning of his manhood Adams was a writer for tho tiny Boston newspapers anil a frequenter of the debating clubs, at which in contact with other wits Jiis own were sharpened. In 1753 he held his first public office as a school committeeman, ami from that time onward some higher office sought him every year. The humblest lie did not disdain, ilo wa.s inspector of chimneys, health officer, moderator of tho townmeeting, on committee to instruct lepresenta-tives to t-lie General Court, and at length representative himself. I do not find that he ever, likeveuled. We may not have the full light of tho Bible. In the process of thought and experiencemore truths are coming out of the gospel, because they are there, The mighty robbings ofnature so far have *•» v* but surface scrapings ofll IVwhat yet is to be got o'* of this material world. Let science go The church is not opposed to science but to the impertinence of science—to the mere scratching of the surface and claiming that all is thus revealed. Let biblical research go on, but if not reverent it is only peeping and muttering. It is so easy to criticise; so easy for Inger-soll to hurl invectives at the church, but how ishe to build u better one? Lot men beware how they criticise tffi* Almighty. Tho critics who tear to pieces are finally the most susceptible to criticism. Let 0 8 be careful how we criticise a soul that is reaohitr up after God. t You talk about sustaining the gospel. We are sick, wo grow old, we go on crutches, but never so the gospel.It gives a light to every age.2It gives but borrows none.Wo simply make a way for it. Tho church is called noon to earnestly contend for this faith. Ralph Waldo Emerson has written, “A little consideration of what takes place around us every day would show us that a higher law than that of our will regulates events; that our painful labors are unnecessary and fruitless; that only in our easy, simple, spontaneous action are we strong, and by contenting ourselves with obedience we become divine. Belief aiul love—a believing love will relieve us of a vast loud of care. Oh, my brothers, God exists.” What has this to do withRalph Waldo Emerson, served his townsmen as I earnestly contesting for the right ?

His most luckless office was that of tax collector, for he did not succeed in getting all the taxes in, and the deficiency was afterward interpreted as a defalcation by his political enemies. # Although Samuel Adams was the chief actor in the first act of the Revolutionary drama,he did not appear in the first scene. The chief actor in this was James Otis, two years younger than. Adams, who seemed for several years, to the historic muse, likely to dispute with Adams the honor of being Boston’s foremost son, scribes the sacred city of one’s own life when it yields to God.

Long before the Revolution reached its climax he had bccomo tlio crumbling monument of once glorious powers and possibilities. TheaG powers and possibilities were never more conspicuous than in 1701. The previous year the Navigation laws bad been revived. For one thing they forbade the importation of West India products. Writs of assistance were issued, which empowered the Customs officeis to search for smuggled goods, it was against these writsof assis He hat had falanee that Otis made liis first great speech, been .advocate general, and as such iteii to him to defend the writs of assistance and the officers who attempted to tj’arry out:*tlVtheir purpose. But lie resigned his office that he might defend the breakers of tho law. Some of you have seen liis splendid statue in the chapel of Mount Auburn, tall, slender, thin of face, and so you know exactly how lie didn’t look, for he was plump, round faced, smooth skinned,- phort necked, but eagle eyed. John Adams hoard thospeech, and writing of it afterward said, “Thenllon it was de-cth Ward Re-i’H resulted as L3; vice presi-ald and Will-Livingston; dm; financial rer, Harry M.

But in that speech lie formulated an idea which was no stranger to Colonial thoughts, “Taxation without representation is tyranny.’’ That was a good cry, and how it rang for the next fifteen years! The writs of assistance amt the eloquence of Otis did not bring to birth the child Independence. That birtli was far remote, undreamed of yet even by Samuel Adams. But the writs of assistance were the first of a series of attempts by the home government to tax tlio colonies tor the benefit of tho mother country or for the assertion of aprinciple which George III. never gave up. The next act iu the series was the Stamp act. InMay, 1784, the town meeting appointed its usual committee to instruct its representatives. Samuel Adams had by this time acquired an enviable reputation for his skill in drafting papers and the drafting of the‘instructions fell to him. Opposition to the impending Stamp act was the burden of their prophecy. The memorial prepared byOtis, one of the instructed representatives, embodied 1 lie ideas of Adams' instructions generally’in his words. Forwarded to the colonial agent inwill come forth to put on the armor. He will fight, but not the fight of animosity. Behold the mild, sweet and gentle Christ in the Temple.

Wo, al e to haveextreme care to possess it, to profess it, to live it, to be solicitous for its purity, to employ all our powers and influence in its maintenance, if necessary to suffer and die for it. Never let it be onr notions and opinions but the faitli. Not sonic learned man’s definition or system, but tho f..ith once for all. Always to the law and to the testimony always, thus saith the Lord. It is too precious to be sacrificed; too noble to be vilified; too vital to be toned down or neglected. I am appalled at the ribaldry and trifling of men with tlio divine thingH which belong to tlio price of onv salvation, it seems to me the church of the living God, which He bought with His own blood, was never more dangerously, threatened than today. If it were the roaring lion I should not fear. The church lias come to her power'through blood. She uplifts her glorious credentials by the right hand which has held fast to the oracles of God in Christ iu the midst of persecutions. It is bettor to have the armor stained than eaten of rust or dimmed with dust. The day of vituperation, thank God, is past, but loyalty to Christ does not permit the Christian to look with approval upon each and everything which claims a religious place. We must give men their liberty of thought, but we must judge of them by theiranswer to the question, “ Wliat think ye of Christ?” We have light for the conflict as we look upward. The faith once for all delivered to the saints is committed to the saints of each generation. Yes, “ye are my witnesses.” I put it to every conscience this morning How are you meeting that call. All, what loose ideas there are of Christian obligation! How little responsibility is assumed after the Christian boat is pushed off from the shore? Which is the largest and richest to-day in our land, faith or the fruits of faith?Behold what our fathers did for us. W to givo the coming generations?
