Eversthing about the bouse and bam was of the most primitive kind, yst somewhat Improved over the then past fifty years. but io spiteof all this, & good crop was planted, or sown, cultivated, and harvested, and men were content, for they knew of nothing better.

Vedast's Chbarch, whers more ritual liberty was enjoyod. It would seem to a common 8ense obsorver thad a Christian minister might safely administer an essential ordinance in any decent dress at his command, and that his official prercgative and the ordinance itself are enough to secuto the efficacy of the act, even when cortaia things important in his judgment are withhold. Roman ! Catholic priesis have said that therite of the | Mass is valid_when administered according to the prescribed_words by a priest, even in rudest barn or by the wayside. This whole con- troversy about vestments and position in tha communion sarvice i8 not happy or reasonabie, and the Bishop of Oxford expressed the convio- § tion of thoughtful peoplo here as woll a8 at; home when he said in his recant charge:’ “ Qur disputes remind jme of that dark picture which Jossphus drew of the Holy City torn to pieces by factions, while the Bomans were thundering at her walls, We quarrel about modes and theories of confession of el pefore adversaries who deny that there is such » thing a8 sin to be confessed. We wraogle over the doctrine of sacrifice, the situaticn of the aliar and the vestments or pesition of the priest, to the infinite satisfaction of those to wkom the whole notion of sacrifice or atonement is an surdity ; and we discuss the ceremonial of wor- ship in the audience of multitudes ‘who aay that there is no God. If, indeed, theso observarces were of the essence of our religion, or if such dootrines filled the pages of our sacred books, +he necessity of discussing them might be upon us. But forssmuch as the Scriptures of the New Testament give no prominence to thesa sabjects, -and our Master's proaching hass quite snotber ‘burden. our controversies nppear to me withous , excnse.” Oxford is surely happy in having the' author of that charge for bishop. 5 —_— HUDIBRAS AND CHRISTIANITY. §OME XBRRODS FOINTED OUT.

Tathe Editor of The Chicago Tribune: Cricaco, July 30.—An extract which fitly rep- resents Mr. Moody's theology is given in an En- glish paper a8 foliows : Balvation by blood, too, is » prominent doctrine of the Moody theology. **Ii was not the life of Christ,” e tells bis hearers, “ that sived ; no imitation of His Jife wonld suffice, but His death, His blood. Tha Bible was bound together by s scarlet thread—he Dlood ran all through. Blood had just two cries. It cried either for salvation or damnation1” There is doubtless & class of Uhristians, gen- erally the most sensuous and materialistic, who are ready to go all lengtha with Mr. Moody in his theological materialism, even to the extent of regarding salvation asa bodily rescue of the phys- jcal buman frame from actual ignition and combustion of its bonea, muscles, nerves, and blood vessols in a material caldron filled with & combination of burniog pitch, sulpbur, and primstone, specially assorted for;the purposs by a physical God. To them no laogusge is figura- tive. Itis the physical cross, the tree on which Jesus was crucified, that saves, not the self-sacri- ficing Love of which the treeor cross has become the sacred symbol. To themit is Calvary, the rock whereon the sacrifice occurred, thatredeems, not the quality of self-sacrifice there illustrated. To them it is the corpuscales of physical blood, shed from the veins of the man Jesus. that becomes a substizute for the blood-offerings of the OId Testament ; bnt theraia no substita- tion of that spiritual penitance and f.ll-embncln;z luve, of which the blood iu both instances was the symbol for the blood itself.
