IIE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, JULY 6, 1873. 9 THE CHURCH. The Introduction of Bibles into Railroad Cars, Interosting Notes from the Chicago Religious Pross, Programme of Services in the Churches To-Day. Episcopal and Roman Catholic Calendars for the Week. The plan, called the " Railway Plan," of intro- duciug Bibles in passongor cara, was firat inaug- urated by the Rev. E. I Plorco, Agent of the Amoricon Biblo Bocioty for Weslorn Kentucky, in the spring of 1870, on tho trains of the Loufa- villo & Noshvillo Railroad. Bince that time, Bibles have beon placed on tho ears of the fol- lowing railronds: East Tennessoe, Virginia & Georgla; Wostern & Atlantio; Olevoland & Pittsburgh; Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinvatl & Indinnapolls, and Lake Shore & Michigan Houth- em. Tho rack consists of @ cnst-iron framo, with tho words “Diblo—rond and roturn,” moulded in the frame. Those aro placod along the sidoof tho car, botwoon the windows, within ensy roach of the sent, Tho book usod on most of thoronds is & copy of tho Testament and Panlms, of Iargo, plain typo, substantinlly bound in two volumes, 80 88 to bo conveniont to handlo, ono volume containing the Epistles and Psalms, tho othor the Gospols and Acts, making twocoplos of tho Tostament aud Pealms, of four volumos, for onach car.’ A neat label on the cover indicates tho party or socloty giving the book, and ro- | queats tho roador after using the book to rotirn. itto tho raclk. Each copy thus placed in a rail- zond car, being snbstantinlly boind in moracco, will bosumfied by thousanda boforo it will wear ont, and Js it not bigh timo to supplant the trashy cnlcbgonny books and papers that are oddled on tho cars, many of which are positive- y indecont, not to sny obsceno? People have nothing to do whilo traveling, and they will generally rond what thoy can got. Ilow im- portaut, thon, to have that which is pureand ele- vating, not that whicl, like the dew beforo a nomning sun, vanishes away, but like the Bible, ** which endureth forevor.” TRend and rovero tho sacred prge; n page where trinmphs immor- tality; n pago which not the wlolo creation can produce, which not the conflagration can de- stroy." A OITY RELIGIOUS PRESS, Tho city roliglous press for tho woek present avaried amount of mtorcsting and valunble ronding mattor, of which the colloge and sem- Inary commoncomonts como in for n large shinro. The Adrance promigos that its forthcoming illus- tratod number will bo tho bost of the soason, Its leading editorial is about * Retiring from Busi- ness,” s quostion nab vory aprapos for Chicago or tho Wost, but it shonld be romemberod that tho papor in_quostion_hus & ciroulation of oy- eral thousand down East, whero this thing is somotimes done, Tho subject has its roligious benrings, and is 8o treated by tho editor, who sums up his points as follows : Tt would, therefore, £com that, ordinarily, a Obris- tinh man should continno to hénor God and servo Lis oncration fn his regular tusincss, till the aclual nfvmitics of ago indicato thnt his days of labor nro over, Homay linve sconmulnted o forfuno sufiicient 10 mipport his family ; but why not uso Lis business talent, thus tested and approved, to make monoy for benovolent purposse 7 Burely the world meeds pro- cively that aiid and that oxample, ond God may Lo sup. Tored 1o havo trnined and blessed Lim for thal especial purpose, Dut whon thero 18 a robirement from pro- vious laborious purauits, while power yet abides, thero should simply o o change of uscful occupation, and not o lapse futo jidleness, The Inferior has epokon on tho * Broad Church ova.” It belioves that this orais com- ing, It sace in tho late Boechor-Murrny ex- chnnge, and the comments thoreon of the Chris- tian Leader, and othor papers, in the Rov. Mer- rill Richardson installation affair, where thore was an avowed and very brond Arminian theol- ology, and *‘more thun that, o frankly-ndmitted holiof that all the probationary sdvantnges of tho presont lifo would bo continued in_ tho noxt,” and the remarks of tho Christian Union and Congregationalist on tha muttor, the dwn of this era, The spectroecope has been caro- fully adjusted, and tho lines of light from theso aurora flashes ; as thoy fall on the screon show to tho oditor of that paper thoy do not bolong to tho regular solar systom. “‘1fis the indication of a movement (tho Richardson cxamination) of which we have as yet saon only the boginning; of an influence which ig destined to affoct all the evangelical churches; of a leresy which is likely to give direction to tho ~theological controversios of this and the coming genern- tion," is tho unequivocal declaration. ~Broad Church tondencies, in the opinion of the editor, are becoming more markad “every year, and the Evangelical Churches will bo ealled upon soouer or later to decide whother tho theology of the Roformation ig worth saving, or whethor minig- ters of orthodox commuuions mn{ ridiculo it with fmpunity. The condition of the Church is rather favornble than otherwiso to the encroach- ments of Intitudinarinniom. It profors onse to trouble, and is declared by tho editor to be * in- dulging in lotos-eating indolonco.” The pulpit albois tronting theology lightly, snd mon who lovo tho blossoma of Christianity are unwiso onough to lay the ax at tharoot of thotrea which bears thom. Bad names are given to those who ovinco any zeal for truth. By and by “the discussion” will come and thon it will bo found that Broad Churchism has o lufiar shiowing than has beon drenmed of in our philosophics. As & peroration the oditor says : ‘Tho inheritance which we possess is too procious to ‘be wasted ; but tho noxt generation will find it encums ‘berod with rationalism and falso theology, if tho evau- gellcal churclies do not speak boldly, aud apeuk s0on, Tho questions with which we lavoto dealare not motaphysical speotlatiana ; thoy aro questions which concern the very 1fe of ovangelical Ohristianity : quose tions which deal with the destiny of the smponitont, tho satisfaction of Christ, and tho inspiration of thd Scriptures, Indoed, Wo may eay that the docirine ‘which the churches will bo called upon to afiirm, with distinctness and with omphasls, {a hat of tho sutficion cy and the supremacy of the Scriptures. The Slandard has removed to Nos, 65 and 67 Dearborn streot, in the McCormick Block, whero it has very oxcellont and commodious quartors. ‘The editor bas just boen tho rounds of four sollege commencemonts, and, although much fatigued, is able to announco the following con- clusions of his extensive observations : Upon tho whole, wo think thore is no reason for #veu tho moat fastidious critic to fool ashamed of our Western colleges, whother as respects the promisa of the students, or tho capacity ond delity of “the loach~ ers, Young men como 'to -moat of thuso inatitutlona with but an lmperfect preparation ; n somo instances, notably 80, ‘The effoct of: this continucs to appear quito far along in the collego courss, and may not lave wholly ecased to show itaclf evon 6o Intoas that sdpreme moment when thie graduutingZoration fs deliv- ered.
