RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE. Description of the Now Far- well Hall. Progross of Buptist Missions in Tllinois, New Methodist Church to Be ‘Built Corner of VanBuren Street and Fourth Avenue. Interesting Religions Miscellany-- tracts from Denominational Papers---Notes---Per-" sonal, Programme of Services in the H Churches To-Day. £t 18 gladly announced that tho proliminary ptops have beon takon towards tho speedy re- building, in part, of the old Farwell Hall. This Hall, it will bo romembered, was the glory of old Ohfeago. In- it sssombled overy BSunday evoning, to listen to thoso glad tidings dosigned for all pooplo, ono of the Iargest audlonces sny- whero gathorod in the city. In it convened at the noon hour of avary . weel-dny & mixed, bub earnast, group of peoplo to supplicate tho mer- cios and iuvoke tho bonedictions of tho Bavior of maukind. In it woro givon tho srored concort -and tho lecturo, imparting ploas- uro snd profit within the rauge of all It was the headquartors of Obristian work in Ohicago, o eacrod snd glorious place, whoso pagsing awny in tho Groat Firo was kindrod to $ho burning of our churchoes and our homes. 1t was built, originally, by a stock company, tho capltal of which was £220,000. Tho Gront Firo loft tho organization with only tho lot, now valuod at $100,000. Rocontly an offort has boen amado, attonded with success, in seouring the do- nation of the cnpital stock of the Company to’ tho Young Mon's Ohristian Association of Chi- cago. With tho oxception of about 40,000 all tho stock has been thus donated. Mr.J. V. Tarwell, who, originally put in tho lot at $30,000—toking it sll as stock in the ontorprise,—has donated this to tho Assaciation, which {8, in fact, the donation of the site. Tho 1ot fronts 85 foot on Madison atrcot, near La- 8allo, and oxtends back 189 feot to the Arcade Court, on which thero is o frontago of 120 foot, and which, as nbove atated, i8 nmow worth £100,000. It is hoped that all the mtock will oventually be donated in tho same chanuel, aud that on tho basis of this, the Young Mon's Christian Asgociation of this oit{ will ultimatoly roct o now hiall that will rival ila prodocessors in splendor. 'Tho preliminary ateps to this great work have already beou taken. A building committoo, consisting of Mesara. N. 8. Douton, tho iou John V. Far- woll, and PLilip Myers, has beon appointed, roprosonting tho Association, and loans have beonro for negotintod that & portion of the building will be orccted this sonson, What is known a8 tho Madison stroct front, 85x108 foet, has beon selected a8 the site. On this there is to bo placed &t onco s five-story and bnsement gtono front, in a atyloof architecturo that will he in keoping with tho grand buildings of that lo- cality. fi.\n main_tloor will bo designed for storcs, 'Tho socond and third floors will bo used by the Assoolation for ofiices, a spacious noon prayer-meoting room, ote, 'Tho fourth and ffth floors will bo for rent, to bo used for various purposes. ! The noon prayer-meeting room will be on tho second flaor. Lt in fearod thal the epace will bo insuficient to mako this rcom largo enough to sccommodato the Baturday noon meotings whiol now fill the largo hall in the Methodist Blook every week, For this roason it is pmyuum to yotain tho hall in this block for the toachers' noon meoting hiela every Saturday. Tho cost of the building will ho abaut $25,000. On the ot loft In tho Tonr of this building, which is B1x120 feet, the Association dosires to build, a8 soon 08 possible, o hall similar to the ono of former dmys, As it does mnob wish to involve any indobtedness, this mattor, for the proseut, i8 postponod. Undoubtedly thero is gront neod, in such & city na _this, for euch s building, and the sooner it can bo erected the hetter. Tfia moral power of the old Far- woll 1all, o8 oll know who attonded religious gervicos there on any Sunday ovening, can- not well bo disponsed with, Down-town churches and down-town Christian efforts cannat bo dis- pnnaml with to tho welfare of any ' large city. fi'his is onpecia)ly truo of Chicago, whero tho ‘businoss part of thocity, in its numerons hotels, and the upper toors of business blocks, may bo gnid to be densely populated. Whon tho timo comes, theroforo, for tho Young Men's Christian Association of this city o rebuild this lall, if that timo has not slready come, it is Loped that tho liberality of the be- novolontly disposed part of Chicago's citizona will be commensurato with the worthiness of the objoct. TIE CONFEESIONAL. The roligious press_of every donomination, of lato, has been stizred to tho bottom rospecting tho potition of tho © four hundred and eighty- threo " for the appuintment of au Order of Con- fessors in tho Church of England., Though not granted, it is takon as one of tho ‘‘migns of the times," indicative of the wanmg powor of the Reformation, n roturning to tho Church of Rome, & desiro on tho part of the clorgy to Bupplement their labors with the con- fossional for the purposo of incrassing their power, ccclosinstical and otherwiso, &o. The prominent journals of tha Episcopal Church re- gard tho petittion as a failurc. It arguos noithor o l;;nim.; over to Rome nor suy porvading dissat~ isfaction within the Established Obureh, Ono of theso journals nssorts that the busi- nesa of gotting up petitions is as well undor- stood in Eugland as in this country. Some of the nomes to this ono, it suys, are dupli- ‘cates, and hardly any of them repro- sont tho moro influontial of thoe clorgy. Morcover, this i8 to bo considered, that & vory inconsidornblo part of the Chuxch has auy leanings toward tho Church of Rome, it alio shows the extent of tho effort,—which is but 214 por cent of the clorgy,—and ought, therofors, to bo m?udod ag a completo failuro, For, striking out all who wonld like the move- ment, but do not like to commit themselves by asking for it, the many others, who would not cign auything thoy wore nskod to mign, snd those who might have eigned lud they boen sufliciontly urged, it s setill morally certaln that, as a body, 'the English clorgy aro alto- ethor o{:puuud to tho prayer of the potitionera. [ho editor further remarks thot tho Bishops wers right in dopracating legislation, as logisla- tion coutd not mako a penal offenso out of con- fession without atriotlx deflning the bounds of Mo acts prohibited. Any ono who should at- tempt to Hruw & statuto on this subjeot would find dificulty in avolding not merely infringe- mont upon tho rubrics and formulas of the Prayor Book, but the common liliorty of every Christian boliever. ‘Lhat which would have sat- Isfled the cavillors and comforted tho alarmed, rccording to tho conceptions of tho editor, would have beon & cnrorull{-wordnd declaration that Romish confossion 1s not, and nover hag boon, tho usage of tho Roformed Church of Lngland, That duly passed, would still loave to'bo dofinod : What it tho difforeuce botweon o Romith confossion aud the simplo outpouring of the hoart? “ho subject is closed in thoso twords, which ombody tlie true ides of confession, and ausort there is no cause for trepidation: Whonsovor man, woman, or child, haviug dona wrong, wishes spiritual counsol and sdvico, thoy will naturally goto thoso whom thoy can trust, snd tho 1ncro §natirict of Christian feellng, not to eay the gon- eneral obligation of ordiuation vows, will always fu- duca el to- Lston putiently, and o comfort und in- tenet faithfully, Whorefore there {8 no esuso for suy aluruw, sud st loss noed for any leglalation, | ILIANOIS AH A MISSION FIELD, Tho Rov.
