THE DIOCESE OF ILLINOIS, THE DE KOVEN PROGRAMME. o the Editor of The Chicago Tribune : Cmicaco, Aug. 14.—The following circular has been forwarded to a large number of the clergy and parishes in the Diocese of Illinois. 1t speaks for iteelf, aud exposes the schemeby which'it is proposed to imtiste a movement in opposition to the deliberate judgment of the Church, as expressed and entertsined by mine- teuths of the Bishops and Stauding Committees. Does not the pursnit of such a courso border upon rebellion against copstituted authority ? And does not the proposition tha: Dr. De Koven shall be solicited to explain his views savor of the nature of an invitation to a bid for office, ut- terly inconsistent with tho sacred character of the one in question ? w. Crricaco, Aug. 2, 1815.—The Rev~—Drsr S—Hay- ing consulted with many churchmen in varioas parts of ihe Diocese, we are satisfivd that it 18 the very gen- eral desire of thoso who supported Dr, De Koven for Bishop st the Specal Convention fn Febraary last, and of sume who did not thep support him, to secure lis conseeration if it be possible. There i o doubt that the failure thus far to secure tio necessary consent to his consecration is due to & misunderstanding of the views held by onr Bishop- elect in regard to tho Hoiy Eucharist. A proper con ception of these viows can Le gained only by careful examination of what he has said in somewhat lengthy speeches and writings; and this fact may account for the continned misunderstanding that exists. Thero is little, if any, question that o brief, pointed explana~ ton of theso views by the Bishop-elect in Toply to a Tequest t3 that end from the Convention of the Liocess woufd secure his speedy consecration. The object of tlus note is to ask whether yourself and your parish are willing to co-operate at the coming convention for the sccomplishment of this happy re- sult, It may be urged that this course might delay the supply of Episcopal services, now so touch needed, In that caso would it not_be well Lo place the Diocess un- der the chiarge of some Bishop, 58 provided by canon of the General Conveatlon, in’ order to the supply of such needed services 80 loug 28 we rewaln without a Bishop of our own 1 There areseveral Bishope either of whom conld easaly spare time ewcagh from his own Diocese to fur- Dish this supply.

THE NEW SBUMMER RESORT. There are times when men need rest, when the overburdened mind and weary bodv. demand quiet ana relaxation. The bow, if continusally kept stramod to its ntmost tension, will soon lose its elasticity, and break. 'The professional man and the man of business may mot continu- ously tread the weary round of the office and the counting rocm, or the brain will rebel, and the body succumb to disease. The country is full of men wrecked in mind sod oroken down in .. body before half their life-work is accomplished, the melancholy vic- tims of the violation of one nf Nature’s simplest laws. They needed rest, but gave themselves none. Recogizing this physical necessity, and also to gratify the almost universal desire of their families to Jeave the hot and dusty city during the heated term of summer, many professional and business men take their summer vacations, and with their families seek the country, or visit gome one of the numerous places of sum- mer resort. Many go to the Springs, hoping to fiod there anaceas - for all the different ills which flesh is heir to. Oth- ers fly to tho pure ‘sirand besutifal scenery of the mountaine. 8till otbers profess to find what they are in search of—health, recreation, and resi—on the beach of Old Ocean. Saratvgs, Newport, Lonog Branch, Cape Msy, the White Mountains, and the Acirondacks have been for many years household words to health and pleasure-geekers. Still there was s want that none of these places seemed to supply. Many of them, besides, had dogenerated into mere places of fashionable dissipation, or, even worse, tbe chosen baunts of the gamblér sad rous, the beadquarters of the sporting world, where the Chamberlains and Morrisseys erected their ¢ilded temples of sin. It began to be well un- derstood that these places could mo longer be safely patronjzed by the .fiood and virtaous. The religious element was almost entirely wnnting; Vico is contagious, and the pureat mind will sullied by being brought into direot contact with the impure and vicious. Summer-resorts were needed possessing all the good quali- ties of tno above-mentioned places with- out toeir evil ones, where the religions instead of the vicious element should prevail, where the pure air should not be poisoned by the aroms of the saloon and the dram-shop, where social gatherings should take the place of fashionable ronts, chapels be erected instead of gambling-bells, and religious meetings be held instead of mestings on the race-course. The Enstern Methodists were the firat to recognize this necessity and undertake to found popular places of aummer-resort wholly earrounded and controlled by religious influences, where fami- lies might be taken for health and recreation during the summer months, with the certainiy that their surroundings would be good and prre, and the wives, gisters, and daughters as safe from contamination as in the home or church crcle. As a result, Ocean Grove, Martha's Vineyard, and Chautauqus Lake were located, and bave proved magnificent successes. The most beautiful nataral locations have been selected, Isid out under the direction of the most _ewinent laundscape gardeners, and such improvements made as could only be ~secured by the most liberal ontfay of money. Sommer residences have been erected,—pleasant cottages or ele- gant country villas,—according to mum and woalth of theirrespective owners. Chapels bave been built, and hotels and boarding-houses opened for the accommodation of such as prefer that manner of iiving. The whole is coptrolled by Christian mea, who bave thrown around it such safeguards a8 will prevent the introdacton of Hing tmproper sy viewed from a reli i religlous tandgaing, 8od Hpan t all b d (oA S5 Thkboned BiothoRul) Campreasecing. Tic is intended, however, to be acces: and nob the main foatare of thoso samumer raennts. The Methodists of Ohicago and_vicinity have determined that they will not be behind the ZEast in & resort of this character, and the ** Lake- Bluff Camp-Ground snd Summer-Resort” bids fair soon to be an sccomplished fact. It will doubtless be one of the most attractive and popular places in the vicinity of the city. The rounds are on Lake Michigzn near Lake Forest. sutiful by nature, they will be made still more beantifal by art, and an honor to the city in whose vicinity they are situated. The matter i8 in the hands of _an association of Methodist gentlemen who will epare nothing to make it equal, if not superior, to anything of the kind in the country, A large force of men Das been kept at work for months past, and the dedication of the place will take place some time during the fall. At a meeting of the Executive Committee a few days ago, it was unanimously resolved that Mr. Solomon Thatcher, Jr,, Preai- dent of the Association, should visit Chau- tauqua Lake, Martha's Vineyard, and Ocean Grove, for the purpose of becoming familiar with their workings, and to gather such information concerning their improvement and ornamentation a8 will be of use in laying out snd completing the work ab Lake Blufl. He lett for the East last week on his mission. Mr, Thatcher is one of Chicago's most wide-awake and energetic .businees-men. He is perfectly enthusiastic in the work in which he is engaced, and it may bo expected that pothing will escape his critical eye. The de- fects, if any existing there, wili be noted and remediod at Lake Bluff, while all the good points will be adopted, and, if possible, improvad. Many have supposed that it was the intention of the new association to supplant the old camp- ground at Desplaines by the now cne ou Lake Michigan, but a0 interview with Mr. Thatcher does not confirm this imvpression. While it would be gratifying to have the support and co- operation of those interested in the Desplaines grounds, if it is still thought best to continue them for camp-meeting purposes, the new asso- ciation will cheerfully scquiesce. = Mr. Thatcher statos that the main object of his Society is to bave & beautiful place of resort for Christian people, where they can epend the summer surrounded by religions inflaences. The need of such a-place in the vicinity of Chi- cago—one easily resched by rail or steamor—is imperative, and the Aseociation should receive the hearty co-operation of all good citizens. Mr. Thatcher is also anthorized duriog bis absenco to Becurs prominent speakers for the dedication, ao anoouncement of which will ke made in due time. A map of Lake Bluff, as it is to be, has been prepared, and if the design be faithfally carried 1nto execution, the result will bo an iustitution- worthy of the Great Weat,—one of.which Chicago may well be proud. o’ S il | * DISINTEGRATION OF CHRISTIANITY, 4 RELIGION OF THE FUTURE. There has just been published at Berlin, by Cail Dunker, & book written by Edunard von Hartmano, entitled ** Die Selbstzersotzung dea Christenthums, und der Religion dis Zukunft.” This is a remarkable book, characterized by the bold, vigorons thought of one of Gormany’s most original and eminent philosophers, and 1o less noteworthy on sccount ‘of the startling Dature of the conclusions the author .reaches. AL voo Hartmann will give little satisfaction to sny one except thinkers as bold as him- self who may agree with him, or to philosophic minds, to whom energy of thought is always welcome because enter- taining a8 & species of intelleclual gymnastics. Neither Catholics ror Protestants will welcome his book. BStill less will it be acceptable to the less orthodox class of Christians; for some of the author's heavier blows are aimed at the Lib- eral Protestants who are endeavoring to effect a compromise between Christianity and oat-and- out Ratiopalism. It will not pleaze those who inveigh against all religion; for 1o one can maintain the absoluts necessity of some sort of religion for man more cogently than our suthor. Nor yet will it prove agreeable to ali of those who, with Mr. Hartmann, insist that re- ligion of some sort is necessary to satisfy the cravings of tho human heart,—for the religion he advocates is none other than Pessimism and Pauthelsm,—a combdioation of the two. We do not propose to advocate or to attack all of }lr. Haitmaunn's views, but simply to give an exposition of them, leaviug it as & rule to the readers of Tae TRIBUNE to form their coaclu- sious on them. It is true, 8a a rule, that, as Mr. Hart- maon remarks, the opponents of Chriatiauity in this age do nob_want to bear anything of re- ligion at all, while those who advocate 1t dream of none otber than of Christianity either as it is, or io a moditied form. But Mr. Hartmann opposes the orthodox becanse they are Christiaus, tie radical opponents of Christiavity, Lko Strauss in- his Jater writings, because they are what he calls irrelizious, aod liberal Protestants, for the reason that they are at bot- tom novonly irreligions with the radical adver- garies of Chrisuauity, but because they attempt to be Chrisian with the orthodox. Ultramontan- ism, ho says, will swallow up the civilization of the pineteenth century unless another re- ligion shall appenr,—a concrete, not an abstract, religion, with its foundation in reseon, and capablo of a metaphvsical demonstration. ' And this foundation, he maintains, can b had only in Pessimism and Pantheism, with the doctrine of the immanence of the individual mind in'tho All, aod of the substantial identity of the All and of individuai phenomena. True, the writer does not expect to seo this pew religion spring into being immediately, nor even very soou. A long period of religious perplexity and confusion, sud of painful intellectual la- bor, must precede it—but come it muet, the ooly religion that can be harmonized With the achievements of science, the only com- tont antagonist of Roman Catholiciem, which § Son Hartmann insiste is the true repre- sentative of Christianity, and outside of which there is no Christianity. i 1o bold contrast to the irreligiousness of this age is tho incerest wluch roligious ques- tions excite at the presoot time. Our fathers were just comservative emough to think church-going 8 very decorous habit and enlightened enongh to smile at the thought that religious questions could ever again stir the human heart ss they had once. ‘They were unconscious of the contradiction that exiated botween their action and their belief. Bat experisnce has shown that indifferentism in matters of religion is a great error. It has b that religlon is & power—as in the Roman Catholic Church; and that it canpot be dispensed with smoug eople if we would not see them tura into 80 :]?lefl‘; w?ld beasts as they did in France during ate Paris Commune. \ ‘hgiqlaligion ia the only medium tbrough which the ideals of life can reach the masses. Deatroy religion, and you leave them without one of the gros: elements of human education. Now, M. $on Hartmaon thioks that so much has been dropped_of Christisnity by most cultivated men, aud even by men professing themselves Christian, that what romains is not worth pre- Serving, since it does mot contain enough of igion to warm or inspire any ope.. 1 fimm can do, Mr. Hartmann believes, is to take an wventory of their possessions, al d look bankraptoy in the face. Beience has created a view of the world conflicting with the Christian religion. The two are irreconcilable; but re- ligion 16 necessary ; heace wo must look fora now one. Protestantism rejected the anthor- ity of Popea and Councils, and azgerted that of the individual in matters of religion. That was its historical task. The result was to . make each man his own abeolute guide, and then o disintegration of the system; for lt;:dr:?::hbn Bno aoffmunh.y of belief or feeling where there 15 1o cneness of authority and or- ganization. when criticism bad led Protestants to re- jggu:he Pope, the Councils, tradition, and’ the Fathers, it was but one step to the Tojection of the suthorities on which theso based themselves, or clamed _to base themselves, till their Christisn ‘worship has developed in the most advanced sects into a Lit- erary entertainment. Texts from the Bible are quoted in sermons, not a8 possessiug 0y great authority, but a8 we might quote from a ‘poet or 3 philosogher. This s true of what is known as Liberal Protestantism, and hence Hartmann’s olaim that Libersl Protestantism is nachristian. But he ssserts, too, that it is irreli- ious, because it paints life in too Eriglu colors—this only one Of many ressons. There must be an ingredient of Pesaimism in religion to_cootinue religion st all—s view of religion which an examination of the pnnu%al teligions of the world appesrs to jmahg.r_ 4 pacs to follow Mr. Hartmaan qugh borate Argumens &8 to wsligion foture, but most NUMBER 356; ourselves with barely stating it: Pantheism, with an admixture of Pessimism, the former affordfhig a substitute for God, and the latter corresponding to the element which nlo:z!i ssems capable of perpetuating aoy religion at In perusing Mr. Hartmanu's book, the reader cannot fail to be struck with the cogency of his reasom and the frequert justoess of his views, until he reacles the lat- ter part of it, where he advocates Pantheism. Here we think heis not as satis- factory as in the earlier portionsaf his volume. Pantheism may have done for tbe early ages of humanity. It will bardly do for ours. As the world grows older, men grow mere restless, and restlessness is a condition incompauble with Pantheism, however corapatible vith Pessimism. A man's religion is his mode ¢f action in re- Iation to the sathor of his beingand lus fellow- man. If the present religions of the world de- cay, there will naver be what Mr.Hartmaon calls, a8 indeed thare never was. & world-religion. Each man will form his own, that is, have his OwD views on the questions to waich Christianity and other religions now offer m answer. Bat, while there is great anxiety onthe part of all men to find a solution to thesequestions that is satisfactory, there is none to me the establish- ment of one universal reigion. . Nordo we share Mr. Hartmany's fears concern- ing the destruction of civilizatin if a new world- religion 18 mot _discovered. The survival of good is law of Nature, and, & modern civiliza- tion is in itself good, it need fsar no enemies. ‘What will be tho ultimate solwion of the great religions question agitating tkis age it is impos- aible to tell, but it is hardly pobable that at any future, no matter how remote, the creed of Pantheism and Pessimism wil provail generally amoug mankind. R — DR. JOHN HALL CN MOODY, ‘WILL HIS WORK LAST? The following letter from the Rev.

THE CLURCH IN GENERAL. A prominent Roman Catholic citizen of Day. ton has united with the Episcopal Charch, be- cause he would not accede to the demand of his church to take his children from the publi( schools. The Protestant Episcopal Church in the Dio- cese of Pennsylvania has 20,906 communicants, 101 churches, 11 chapels, and 59,852 sittings. ‘The aggregate value of the church property ia £5,957,300. Land for the Rev. W. H. H. Murray's new charch, in Boston, has been secared at a cost of $40,000, The church will be a large one, accom« modating some 3,000 persons, but will not cost much over $150,000. The Catholics of South Holyoke, Mass, are ‘building a charch in place of tne one which wag the scene of the terrible disaster. It will cost from 860,000 to £70,000, and will be one of; the filuest church edifices in the city. It ia stated that the Episcopal Convention of South Caroiins, after a two days’ discussion, re« fased to admit to representation a respectabla congregation of colored Episcopaliana of Charles- ton, and which had a white pastor. A npew Presbyterian chapel was dedicated in Tokio, Japan, on the 19th of June. The society waa formed i 1873, and consists of mxsy-eixhi members. It employs two native preachers, and sustains eighteen preaching places in the city. The build:ng 18 50 feet long by 30 wide, and wilk seat 300 persons.

Insubsequens centuries, on the 9th of Ab, Jerusalem, too, was totally destroyed by the savage hands of Titus. Half a century after- wads, on tho same 9th of Ab, Bethar, the stronghold and place of refuge of the Jewiah people, was stormed, and the blood of thoa- sands failed to satisfy the inhuman vengeauce vt Hadrian.
