For several years past 9 large edifice has been building at the corner of Indiana and Pauling atreets, and is now gradually approaching com- pletion. This edifice is the new building of St. Columbkill’s Church. The congregation at pres- ent worship in s long wooden edifice in the same block, just below the site of the new church- building. The parish of St. Calumbkill was frat organized in 1860 by Dr. Dunne, the Vicat-Gen- eral of the Diocese, and under his auspices the building wow occupied by the congregation was. erected, ‘and a large tract of ground, cover- ing nearly the whole bfock, wag secured. Dr. Dunne was pastor of . 8t Patrick's, and St. Columbkill’s was originally = mission cbureh, sapplied from St, Patrick's. Shortly af- ter the building of the church, Father Ward was called to the pastorate, bus did not hold it more than a year, Father Kepny succeoded him, but only remained s short time. In 1862 the Rev. Thomas Burke, the present Pastor, entered upon the daties of the charge. ‘The parixh. ig = large one, and the building at present occupied by the church long ago became inadequate to its needs. Itiss wooden build- ing, narrow in width, but very tong, andisa ¥ery poor auditorium: The new church-building is a large and magnificent edifice, cons:ructed of limestone, and when comple-e with its towers, will be a very imposing structure. The building haga front of 100 feet on Indiana street, extending back 174 feet on Paulina, It was begun in 1871, but work upon it has progressed slowly, as the building goes on only.as there is cash in band to psy for the labor. In 1872 no work was done on it at all, owing to the high price of Is- bor and materials penser upon the general rebuilding of the burnt district. At the pres- ent time the main building is complete a3 far ag the masonry and roofing are concerned. but work oa the interior fittings and towers 13 g0- iny ahead slowly, ao that the entire structure will probably not be completed until next sum- mer. It igs building in the Roman style of archi- tecture, with rock-faced stone and dressed stone trimmings, and will consist of a base- ment and main auditorium. At the fron: of the charch mil be two square towers, the largest, toward the stroet corner, having a total altitude of.190 feet, the smaller of 150 feet. The towers are square unul near, their summits, when they become octagonal in shape, ending with domed roofs surmounted each by the bail and cross. The large tower will contain a chime of belis and clock, There will be three main entrances on Indiana street. with outer flighta of steps a0 as to reach a landing about midway betwoeu the basement and the main suditoiium. The stair- ways are in the tower, @ abort flight downward loading to the basement, aud an equally short flight upwards leading to the main auditorium. This auditorium will be 82 by 193 feet in dimensions, exclusive of the saoctuary, and will seat 2,500 people. Tho basement a ‘will be divided into fecture and class rooms, Scnday-school room, and private chapel. The pian of division has not been fully determined bes. yet. There will beagallers in the main auditorium, at tbe end opposite the altar, extending about half-way down the sides of the church, Tho anditorium will be finished with a square ceiling 46 feet above the boor. The sanctuary will be divided of from the msiu body of the church by large columns supporting three archea. ‘The character of the intenor fittings hss not been fully settled upon, and will depend on the fuuds of the parish. The windows will be 23 feet high and 5 wide, ali to be of stained glans. There will be a side entrance to the sharch from Paulina street and a rear private entrance to the sanctuary. The rear of the eburch is plainly finwhed. Two large, 5 feet jaare inside, ventilating shafts are placed here. Tho cburch fs built ‘80 38 to be heated by steam or bot air as may be preferred. ‘The church as it now stands, without towers or interior fittings, has cost nearly $90,000, and, finiehed according to the complete design, will cost upwards of $150,000. Of the money ex- pended upon it only about $12,000 has been sub- seribed, the rest having been raised ont of the regular collections of the church and the pro- of fairs. By the Iatter sgeucy alone be- tween $600 and $900 « year is raised, and when the church is comple:ed it will be free of debt. At the preeent time a fair ws bolding ot the West Side Rink, corner Randolph and Ada streets, in aid of the church, It will be continued until July 5. The architects of the church aro Messrs.

OPINION OF AN OLD-SCHOOL PRESBYTERIAN CLAR- GYMAN. ‘The following criticism of the soundness of Henry Ward Beecher‘s religions teachings was writton three years ago by an O1d-School Pres- byterian clergyman, then living in this city, aod is of anfficient interest to dese-ve reproduction at this time: ‘There is s man Uving in Brooklyn, hard by the ancient City of Gotham, where are several en professedly exercising their ministry for the good of ‘poor sinpers,—some of them good. sume of tham bad, or not quite 0 good as they might be, and some indif- ferent, Prominent among them all for populacity, if not for grsce, or for a solid and well-balanced mind, ors meck and quiet spirit, H.

To the Edttor of The Chicas Tribune: Cuicaco, June 26.—There is s chapter m the history of the New Testament with which many of your readers may not be famillar, The Codex Sinaificus, which was considered the most complete, tbe moet ancient. and the best manuscript copy of the entire New Testa ment as yet known, was discovered, sixteen years go, under the following circumstances: In 194% Dr. Tischendorff, who was then engaged in re searches pertaining to Biblical science, and was traveling under the patronage of the King of Saxony, visited the Convent of St. Catharine, on Mount Sinai While there, he discovered in a basket of rubbish, which had been brought in to kindle bis fire, forty-three beantifal parch- ment leaves, belonging ts a manuscript of the Septuamot, till then antnown. On hig return to Europe they were published. On the 4th of February, 1859, being, for the third time, at the same convent, oue of the monte brought to him the otber leaves of thas same manuscript, loovely tied ina naphic. They consisted of tho remaining portions of the Sep- tuagint, and the-eatire New Testament, with the Epistle of Barnabas, and portions of the Shep- berd of Hermas. Dr. Tischendorf, delighted with his discovery, obtaiced permission of the monks to take the manascript with bim to Cairo, aod afrarward to St. Poters! 188 & present to the Russian Emperor, Alexander IL ‘The New Testament part of this manuscript, with Barnabas and Hermae, consisted of 14736 leaves of excellent parchment, foar colamus on 3 page, forty-cight lines in each column, and, om ap average, fifteen letters in a line, in s latee, plain, square letter (uncial, so called) clearly and symmetrically formed. As originally written, there was no punctuation. no division of sentences or words, no accents, no ornamented capitals, Everything indicated much care and great antiquity. It was the only ancient manuscript thst had been discovered which contained the Greek text of the New Tea- tament entire without the loss of a The Emperor Alexander had 200 copies of an. exact fac simile prepared, and presented them to different learned institutions throughout Christendom; and Dr. Tischendorff, in 1863, pab- lished at Leipsic, in common Greek trpe, an accurate reprint, "a copy of which, no doubt, any one curious in these matiers could easily Procure. It becomes of some importance to know some- thing mczs about the extraneons portion of this manuscript; that part pot found in our Bibles and Testaments, Barnabas was the fellow-missionary of Panl, and Hermaa was his personal friend. (Homans, xvi.; 14). Barnsbas was a Levite of Cyprus, and ac- cording to Clement of Alexandria was one of the seventy Disciples. Ho was the companion of Paul at Antioch, and on hus first missonary journey. Afterward be went with Mark to Cy- prus, preaching the Gospel. His epistie ia quite celebrated, and has beex often puolished. Amonz the ancients, the authorship of the Epistle of Barnabss was nover qusstioved. Ite genuine- ees bas bees doubled by some moderua, brit it is difficult to see upon what ground, unless be~ cause it waa not fortunate erough to be uelected among the writiogs which wore henceforth to be coanidered wapired. lermas has not been more fortunate. His celebrated “Shepherd” bas been, by modern theologians, scribed to a namesake of his, who lived at Rome three-quarters of acentury ‘after Paul. But we bave, upon this subject, the very highest authority in Ireneus, a eantemvorary of the second Hermes, who speaks verr highly of ‘Tbe Shepherd,” ascribing it to the first Hermas. ‘' Tho Shepherd of Hermas ” consisig of three books, the tirst book, called Visions ; the second, Commands; and the third, Simil- tudes. An'sugel, in the guise of a shepherd, appears to Hermas, aud gives bim instrctions on the various duties of ‘the Christian tife, in the form of visions, commands, and eimititudes, The discovery of this manuscript bas an im- fonast bearing on the question of inspiration. it was found at once, and all together. It was one volume, if it could be called avolnme. At all events, it was one manuscript or set of man- uscripts. "The Epistie’ of Garnabsme and tho Shepherd of Hermaa were no more separate from the rest, thea the Eoisties of Paul wers from those of Peter, James, sod John. By ied eananlys then, we ray s portion of these manuscripts wers in- tpiced, while another portion were uninspired?
