Losnox, Eng., Dec. 2. o the Editor of The Chicago Tribune : Srz: I received a day or two g0 your paper of Nov. 2 from my brother, who has lately rottlod in your city, and secing in it an article ‘on Spurgoon, read it with esgarness, to sec what oo American peper would ssy about him. : ‘w38 50 dizappointed with ke whole tone of the srticle that my fingers itched to send you a line. Tour correspondent got wet through as he was going to Spurgeon’s Tabernacle, T ehould think, end 50 85 hie £at through the eervice saw every- thing from an uncomforteble point of view. He gescribes ho brilding 28 liko a large conntry Court House outside, and inside as “a greal ghell of brick and stone, lined with wood for armth 2nd comfort,” This sort of thing may o for peopls who will never see the Tabernacle, ot those who have Jmow better. The outside has no pretension” to Gothic ornaments- lion, but with its handsomo pillars, smplo trance steps, end massive proportions, fho building looks (like the remarkable man for whom it was built) like a- granite mountain, stalwart and strong, and not to be easily moved from its place. I have been inside when thero bss been no one there save ono of the students ;also at Sunday morning service, 4od in the wvcning, ond Dever SaW O IMOrG psndsome charch. The fnterior is ornamented, tho pillars supporting the twe gelleries zre orna- mented pillars, and the contrivexte for lighting fho placa by night throws it out very besutifully, snd seemed to me when I first eaw it » littlo too Duectrical. Then the noble platform on which tho preacher stands, with its velvet conch and ghairs, and occasional table with emall time- pieco inlaid in the top, for the prescher’s specizl convenionce, together with carpeted wtairs fesding down upon it from seats behind, forms s fitly portion of tho handsome wholo. Your correspondent goes on to speak of Spur- geon’s porsonal sppearanco ns unintellectual and coarse, but doeshe not know how disap- pointing zre the appearances great men present 2ous oftimes, Iremember when X first saw your Henry Ward Beecher, whom I had lenrned from his written words to love, how disappeinted | Iwas, sv-Thad expected to ecen face such as inters 1570 1082~ 4n Moges, and lo! nman with Lis faco clean Sh3VCD: = oy Tograed to > -a thie face since, and, indeed, NOL s _ 5 B850« in Newgato street a capital portrait a1 Beechef, '3 1o Tooked then to me like tho sun coming UP it wn girencth, Altogether, the "o quntof Spurgeon givento sour readers is 8 WDy qno, Such men a3 John RBuskin look up into hiS 1w and as thoy drink in his words, love bim with's gtrong love, and . g0 awsy eaging, “Ab, Sir, v wps 8 grand sight to see tho thoughts moOvhy geross his fsce.” And Lis voice is such a voice qg I nevar ; heard, and 1 havo heard most. Dr. cunpbels described it a8 ¢ that lsshing voice,” and de- clered that hoe could ‘ thunder like Jupiter.” And bo can do this, and more than this, for he can speak in a silvers whisper that every child among his 5,000 bearers sball hear distinetly, and in all probability ngver forgot. Do ot &mk that'] say this Eecmzcl am one of bis followers. You will not think that I follow him when I tell you that I belong to & Congre- tioral Church of Universalis} proclivities. ot I Jove this man, for I have met him when there has been only s fow present; and I havo talked with him face to face.as ha eat oppusito to me, with his arm on the tablo stirring gm lsst cupof tea as he talked, and of him may be said what Carlyle said of Edward Irving—“He isn gacat, brotherly, noble man,” Tho writer of the article complains of Spur- geon for Baying ho was going to give his hearers & discourse rather than = sermon, and says; *And I wonder if Mr. Spurgeon cares more for mero words than ideas.” Surely he forgot that discourse comes from evswn; T =t and A0 mesns 8 running over subject ; and that, 8cCOPding tre Cazlyle, sermon comes from s word meaning the I word. Had he rememberod this, he would ave fclt, perhaps, the modesty of the preachec’s remarks, and here let mo “g' Mr. Editor, that, for naturzloess, for eimple, like simplicity, and swoet uneffectedness, Spurgeon is o yory marvel, Further on the writer tells us that the preacher was always very near being eloquent, and always falling ehort. There again Spur- geon shows his eplendid disregard for all humsa praise or Llame. Ho apeaks just 83 ho focls, he Dever simulates, that vico into which 80_many preachers foll, He never protends to be in the seventh hieayen, if, what with extra worry dur- ing the week, and eharp twinges of the gout, be finds himseif only on tho threshold of the first. He is in thia splendidly real, And as & rule peo- ple feel this ; and this I believe to be tho great secret of his snccess. Mo is real before God, 1t is curious to notico how the most_Aifirrerdiy mfifib‘n&-mmu Cho impression uponthen:, terlavo listoned to a piceo of reality. Lord J 1 Ruseell and the Iate Lord Palmerston noticed thir, and Lord Russell went to him at tha close and expressed ‘warmly what ho felt. Yknow B soeptic who said to me, “Well, if therp is & prophet in Israel its that man;" and m car- pouer who ‘went to hear him,'said; @ AD, ere, ho stoodl up like an angel” Ii 1mede me laugh to hear Spurgeon, with his black s and broad festures, likened to an angel; but it ehowed his power ; and my brother once #8510 me, after hearing him (I Wwas mysolf at Lhat Bime engeged in presching), * Job, Spur- 8epn preaches, and eversbody elso frics.” Bt I ghall try your patience, and will szy no fmore, or I sliould like to say something about the sncer concerning the separation of shecp from Eits at the adm sistration of the ordl- 2. , however, eon is doin, st morsortiodox Chtirches do, Ten e word, and I will end.

Dr. Goodfellow eppointed Seerofary, It was found that in goneral the financial atatus of the churches were quite com- mendable, though applications for sid were pre- eented from the churchesat Dolton, Aurora, Poca- tonics, Sublette, and Walnut. Asthere werebut £€2,000 that could st tho present timo bo distributed, and as it was the desira of the Con- ferenco to disburse this amount o tho best ad- vantage, it way finally agreed to make n.losn of £500 and a donntion of 350 to Pecatonica, and 8 donationof §1,000 to West Aurora.
