Henever hesilates about miaking up his mind and scting on his docision, He would never endure sy interruption of the meetings. 1In reference to the results of the Evangelists’ Iabors ‘In Great Britain, Mr, Sankey said that one thing was vertain, that the interest stirrod up bad been universal and genuine, sna had pervaded all classes of peonle. 1t was a serious interest. and not mere curiosity, Tho bmhemnmflhn‘&d and other unvfl'w;n ;:L laodfl fank, attended their mestings in London. forvitatians to-poid ‘meerings came to them from all Even the littie villages were ‘Three hundred Oxford students sent them s wrilten juvitation to come o that uudversity, but tley could not go, They ‘went by invitation to Eton, enother grest seat of lesrning, and their meeting there was one of the most impressive tbat they held, Memhers of Parliament interested themselves {n ths revival mest- ings.

While the method of Mr. Moody sod Mr. Szn- Kkey haa bean s sabject of criticism, the opision of the general public where they have labored . has been mainly of a favorable character. They “have had the hearty co-operation of ministers and laymen of all denominat:ons, and !.h_g press, . both religions and secalar, hus in the main com- " mended them, and acknowledged that they have * done much good. The Archbishop of Canter- buxy is among those who have testified their * sense of the importaucs and exient of the work "of the revivalists. The pablic prints have de- - yoted much of their space to the question, What §8 the secret of their great succssa? Some have ascribed it to Alr. Sankey's singing, othera to Mr. Moody's plain, practical, and scriptural ser- mons. The following abridgement of his cele- brated disconrse on *The Blood" will show some of the characteristics of bis prexching : Scimien stusn b aesmic :nln e:l::'&:”fl:n‘;u o(ohlood. Certain!y the Lord could not have clothed Adam and Eve with the skins unless He had shed blood. ‘There we havo e )—the doctrine of . ““And Abel, he Lord had respect unto Abel and Lis ; and the offering.” Undoubtedly on the morning of creation God _mirked out the way & man might com to Him ; and Abel walked in God's way, and Cain in his own, Perhaps Cain said ho could not bear the sight of blood, thereof; and and he took that which God had cursed snd laid it upan the altar. And there arcs good many Cainitcs 10 the Church today ; and some have got iut tlie pul- t, and they presch that it {s not the doctrine of the Floot 200 that we can ot to heaven withoutit. Tha firut thing Nonb did whop he got out of the ark was to build an altar and slay toe rimals, thua putting blood between bim nxd bis sin, The eecond dispensation waa founded upon biood, and it is most important that theso animals wero taken through the fiood expressly pose. We find Noah walking by that high- oy, and all the men of God have Leen walking that wa¥, for it is the blood that atones for sin, * And Abrabam lifted up is eyes and looked; and behold ! 8 mm cught behind him in & thicket by hie horns; and Abmham went and took the Tam and’ offered him up for a bumt offering instead of his mon.® The ram was typical; e was offered up instead of Abrahem’s son. God Joved Abrabam so much that ITe spsred his son ; but Ged Ioved us 50 much that He did oot epare His ‘Son, utfreely gave Him up for all. Jehovah opened tho curtain of time, and Abrahsm saw Christ coming up, e saw his sins on Christ and was glad; He ssw His day agd was glad. All Abraham’s seed lost their sins as zauch by Christ a8 we. The difference is that we Jook back to Calvary and they looked forward. *And #ho blood shall be £0 you for & token &pon the houses where you sro; and when I see the 1 will pass over you, and fhe plague shall not be upon yon to do- #troy you when I smito the land of Egypt.” I can imagine some of the Lords and Dukes Ad great men as they rode through and saw the poor Hebrews s, their d saying they never caw such foolishness, for thoy wers spoiling their places. It was ot what they wera. He did not say, “When T see your prayers, your good deeds, I will pass over you,™ but *when I eee the blood I will pass over you.” A little child that night behind the biood Goeben was a8 safe a3 Moses. Some peopls say it an't the dzath of Christ, but His Life, Buppose soms onehad said, 1 will have s live lamb ; 1 will tie my * Xittls white Iamb against the door.” Desth would have o over that lamb, and into the house. The Lamb Dot only atanes for our sins, but we are o feed upon tiio Lamb, We don’t start, as some people suppose, from the cradle to hesven. Wae start from the Cross, e must be born of the epirit and sheltered by the ‘Blood, and then we become pilgrims for beaven. From the time Adam fell there hus Leea no other way s man can approach God but by the blood, Even Asron ‘Dot come to God antil he sprinkled blood round about the altar. “ And heslew it; and Moses took of the blood of it and put it upon the tip ©of Anron’s right ear, and upan the thumb of his right Bang, and upon the grest e of Lis right foot.” L nad msed 'to read » passage like this and &ay it secmed ab- surd ; 1 think I understand it now. The hlood upon the ear, that aman can hear God's voice. The biood upon the hand, thata man can work for God, You cannot work for God until you are sheltsred bebind the blood, and until yon are sheltered it all stands for Zaught. You eannot o anything to please God until you Lelieve, Asan_ illustration, suppose I ehould say 1o my little girl, “Emma, go add get me s ginss of water,” and shé was to sy, I don't want todo it, paps? She goes into another room, and somé Gut “gives her s cluster of grapes, which she decidos to give to ber pwpa. Do you think these ipes would be acceptable if she did mot want to get ¢ water 7 The blood upon the foot is that a man may with God. Before Adam fell he walked with God, bt when he fell be fell out of communion with God. God is fall of trath and justice. His justice must be met, and after that i met He is satisficd. God never walked with m:n until He put them behind the blood st Goshen. I would rather have ten mea scparated from the warld than 10,000 nominal Christ:ans. Some onessidtome, “I detest your God; Ep demsnds Tlood. I don*t believe in stich s God, for my God 13 merciful to alL” Suppose Queen Victoria didn’t like moy man {0 be deprived of his liberty, and ehe throw olt her prisons open, and was so merciful that she ©could not bear any oae to suffer for guilt, how long ould ehe hold the € eptre? Not twenty-four hours, merciful would ssy, *We don't want such a Queen,” God demands biood hacause he sald £0 Zdam, ** On the day thon sinnest thou must die.” God’s words must be kept. I must either die or get somebody to die for me, and in the fullness of time Christ comes forward to die for the siuner. He was without sin, but & He had committed one sin He would have had to die for His own sin. The life of the fleah is in the blood, and it is not blood He de- zoands muyhll is life, and life has been forfeited, If Jou read the Bible carefuily you will find the scarlet d through it. It commenced in Eden ‘'=nd flows on to Revelstion. I cannot find anything to tell ,me Q‘ed way to g!e.'\\'cn but by the blood.

KEPORT OF THE SBUNDAY-SCHOOL UNION. The fifty-first sonaal report of the American Sunday-school Union, which bas just been. pub- lished, gives intoresting statistics of the progress of its work duriog the past yesar thronghout the vast tield of ita labors. During the year the As- socistion has published about -960 maps, dia- grams, class-books, snd numerons periodicals for use among the Sunday-schools of America. The Norma! Sacrotary reports that ihe grnv]th and interest in Bible study and Bible readiog turough the adoption sod general use of the ssstem of international lessons has great- ly iocreseed the demand throughout the country for instruction 88 to the methods of Sunday-school work. In ad- dition to the oral instruction in Bible study imparted in many conference oxercizes, 123 dis- tinct sermons and addresses have been delivered upon this special subject. The same report in- cludes a ocarefulli-prerated summary of the misgionary work of the Union for the past year throughout the Northwest and Soathwest, snd also Aichigan, the Pacific Cosst, Pennsylvanis, New Jersey. Ohio, Indiana, New York, New En- gland, and Kansss. In the various fields of its work thus cited the Union has organized 1,238 new Sunday-schools, appointed 6,450 rnew teach- ers, iastrocted 43,049 scholars, and visited or aided 8,093 additional sehools. There were also 13,825 familics vidted by the missionaries. The Union expreases its gratitnde {0 the American Bible Bociety for the genercus sid given to ita works by liberal grants of Bibles and Testaments to supply needy schocls, The report furtber states that the introduction of the Amencan Bunday-school system on the Europesn Continent has been_heartily under- taken and vigorously prosecated by the London Sunday-school Union, wbick employs several Sundas-school miseionaries in Germany, France, Bwitzerland, aod clsewhers. The latest report of the American Committee records the follorr- ing gratifying euccess of the forei ‘work of the Union: In Germany 1,218 Sundey-schocls have been established, 8,613 teachers appointed. snd 81,785 echolars instructed; in Franco 990 schools have been established, com- rising 41,520 scholars ; in Spain_thero have Eecn established 20 schools, with 95 teachers, and 1,000 scholars ; in Italy 90 schools are car- ried on, receiving an _attendance of 1,000 scholars, while in witzerland about G00schools bave been established, numbering_ 2,096 _teach- ers #nd 46,370 scholars. In Brazil, Cbili, New Granads, Mexico, Zacatecas, etc., Sunday- schaols are algo in operation upon the American lan. The receipts of the Union for the year, 'rom lepacies and other sourcea, havo amounted to $90,079.65, and the expenditares for salaries, books, and other requisites, to $39,085.03. The acting officers of the Union for_the pres- ent year, in addition toseventy-seven Vice-Presi- dents, are as follows : President, lobert Lenox KEennedy ; Corresponding Bacrotary, 5. Austin Allibone, LL.D. ; Recording Secretary, M. A. Wurta; Treasurer, George W. Hill. e RELIGIOUS MISCELLANY, THE CHURCH IN GENERAL. One of the largest dioceses in the world is that of Bnsbane, in Western Australin. It covers 978,000 square miles of area. The Rev. Dr. Mathew B. Hale, now Bishop of Perth, Western Australia, will, it is expected, be ap- pointed to it. Archbishop MeHale, of Tuam, Ireland, recent- Iy remarked to a party of gentiemen, including four Americans, who called to see him, that be has for years harbored the wish to be able to visit the United States, which he styled *‘your noble coantry, where our people find that warm and prosperous home which is denied them here.” The Centennial Committee of. the * Church of God" (Winebrennarians) have determined to publish 50,000 copies of & pamphlet descriptive of the rise, progress, faith, and practice of their Chaurch for distribution during the Centenoisl Exposition in Philadelphia. Space hazs been secured by them for their use in the Exposition Building. A candidate for aJvacant vicarage in Epgland announces an invention of his own which may prove to be useful. It is a pecaliar arrangemont of the pulpit, with a clock to give warping. ‘When at the end of a half hour, the clock sounds ao slarm, if the preacher does not conclude within tbree minutes, down comes the pulpit, with the paraon and the rest of the appendages. At a spirited meeting of the Jewish congrega- tion Ohaber Shalom, of Boston, Mass., held Iately, the question of family pews was discussed. The debate was warm and yrotracted. Frequent reference was made to the case of the Bna; Jeshurun, recently decided in New York, and especially to the affidavits presented on that oceasion, The motion to introduce pews waa finally defeated. The Methodists in the State of New Jersey have 68,000 communicants, 400 pastors, 400 local ‘preachers, 509 churches, valued at £4,000,000, 2nd 205 parsonages, valued at $833,000. There are 63,000 children in the Sunday-schools. Du- ring the year, 510,000 were raised for all church purposes. The Methodist schools in the State are the Pennington Seminary, at Pennington, the Centenary Collegiate Institate, at 'Hacketts- town, and the Drew Theological Semioary, at Madison. There is also a Home, at Morristown, for the orpbans of foreign missionaries, with property valued at §50,000. There is a proposition under consideration to convert the present honse of worship of the Twenty-fifth Street Baptist Church into a Scan- dinavian beadquarters for the Northwest. Itis to be remodeled and to be occupied as a theo- logical seminary, publisbing house, aud church. In the meantime, a8 a part of the movement, the Twenty-fifth Street Baptist Church is to Temove south to a location near Twenty-ninth street, where 8 naw honse is to be built. The title of the bouse is at present in the Baptist Union, to which it was conveyed a short time since, to- gether with an indebteducss of about £10,000. The Young Men's Christian Association of 11li- nois are to bold their third convention in Jack- sooville Oct. 7, 8, 9, and 10. The call is signed by the Btate Executive Committez, and states that it is desired that two or more delegates be present from every Association, and thut evan- gelical churches, in places whero there are no As- sociations, send somo of their Christian young men, D. L. Moody and Sankey have been 1a- vited, besides other distivguished Christian workers. . A committes of arrangements of the Jacksonville Associatiou, in connection with this rdially proffer hospitality to all who may A recent gathering of Baptist ministers from the city churches met With the Immanuel Bap- tist Church and organized as.a council by the election of Dr. D. B. Cheney as Moderator, and of the Rev. W. W. Everts, Jr., a8 Clerk. After » statement by the candidate. John Danforih Burr, of his Christian experience, call to the ministry, and viens of Christian docttine, the Councii voted unanimously its satisfaction with the statement, and to proceed with the ordina- tion. The Committee of Arrangemonts reported that the ordination take placa to-day at 3 o'clock p. m. The following order of exercisis was adopted : Reading of Scriptures, the Rev. J. M. ‘Whitehead ; Introductory Prayer, the Rev. F. M, ‘Ellis ; Sermon, the Rev. A. J. Frost ; Ordaining Prayer, the Bev. T. W. Goudzpaed; Hand of Fealiowsbip, tho Rev. C. H. DeWolf ; Charge to Candidate, Dr. G. W. Northrup; Charge to Church, Dz. D. B. Cheney. The discontinuance of Church and State. the able and manly organ of the Low Church party of the Protostant Episcopal Church, has tazen meany of its resders by surprise.. The causa seems to be that since the action of* the General Convention of 1874 against rituslism there has been. less need of a Low Church orgap, and this changa of feeling, in connection with the diffi- culities now encountered by all-the newspaper press in meeting expenses, has led to the resuit indicated. The Hartford Churchman succeeds to the subscription list and the good will of Church and State, and has secured the aid of the Rev. Dr. John Cotton Smith, the former editor, as contributor. Dr. Smith's _contributions will bo welcomed by all lovers of Christisn manhood and generous thought, sud will tend to give to the Churchman elements of power which will dignify its subsiantial thrift and enliven its cau- tious conservatism. Dr. Smith’s retirement from Church and Stafe took place some months ago. Thers has been of late some very plain speak- ing on the part of the clergy of the Protestant Episcopal Church to the laity. ‘Bishop Hunting- ton, in a recent chargo to the convention of his diocese, rebuked moneyed men for thsir parsi~ mony, sod declared that .there were persons ‘within the American Episcopal Church who conld support any one of the leadiog departments of missionary service -withont exhsusting s tenth. park_of their yearly income.-The Xev.-Dr. [ ‘men. _servicos begnu at mission stations.

The one hundred and thirty-gecond annnualses- sion of the British Wesleyan Oburch, the largest Methodist body outeide the United Siates, met 8t Sheflield, July 28. Tho Rev. Gervaso Smith was chosen President, the retiring President beiog the Rev. Dr. Willism M. Ponshoo. It was reported that during the vear tho Committes on the Theologial Institotion had rzceived £6,400 and expected 4800 more, with which tho income wonld still be £1,000 less tbon the previous yesr. The Education Committeo reported the number of sohools in operation &t 800, with 173,£60 scholars; Snzday-schools, 5,893; ,310. The ' Connectional Sunday- n had baca orzanized the past year, and about 1,000 schools hzd joined it. Uponthe project of consolidatiog all the Conference Com- mittees of Review into ono committeo, to- be composed of ministers sod laymen, it was reported that the action of the dutrict meetings, to which it had been submitted for approval, were almost unanimously against it, and preferred instead the admission of laymen to the Confereaco. The Comunistee agreed in re- queating the Conference to sppoint a mixed Committee to consider tho subject of lay repre- sentation, The Home Mission Committee re- orted the eraction of twelve mew chapels in Eondun and suburbs, where mission wock had been very successful the past year. ' Ninety min- isters were now employed. The iocresse of members had b2en 900 ; 153 Sucday-schools had been instituted ; 600 regular and 118 cotiage were in course of construction, and the receipts bad been £81,257. The number of church me bors was reported at 855,443 ; on trial, 26,524 ; in- crease, 6,366. The Irish Conference, a subordi- nate brauch of the Euglish Wesleyan conaection, haa adopted & plan of lav representation, subject to the approval of the British Couference, and the ad}justment of legal difficulties. Rev. P. 1. Stovens, of Bouth Carolina, during the month of July has organized six Reformed Episcopal Churclies amony the freedmen, with a total memterslip of 639. These congregations are all in a small territory. Mr. Stevens, in re- porting to Bishop Cummins these facts, says: “Iam sure that these vumbers will be in- creased considerably at several of these points.” ‘The churches he bas pot under tho charge of two preachers, assisted by a lay reader. Mr. Stovens learns tbat othor congregations are about to form. Aug. 14 he held a convocation of all the orgavized coagregations, three delegates being present from each. The Monthly Record (Protestant Episcopal), of South Carolioa, claims that these congrewations wero lost to the Protestant Episcopal Charch by tbe failure of the Board of Mivsions to act pwm{:kl_v in the appointment of a Missionary Bishop. It says : *“ When the question of giving some mcre com- pact and effective orgenization to the black and colored people of the South came npin New York, at “tho maeting of the Board of Missions last fail, it was suggested by the Bishop of North Carolina shat a Missionary Bishop be at onca- chosen, oonseorated and put in charge of the work. Soarcely any favor was shown to the proposition, and some of its chief opponents were men from tho South. As usual nothivg was done. Those men little thought that imme- diately npou their aciion becoming known a clandestine_correspondence would be begun be- tween Dr. Cummios and the ex-pastor of several of theee congrexations in his diocese, reanlting in the final secession of pastors and people from the Protestaut Epiuo‘pnl Cuureh to the so-called Reformed Church. But such was indeed the consequence of it, and while we write there are from six to eight of taese colored congregations just awaiting the consecration of a Bionop over them by Dr. Cummins, 'The’ very plan which waa vainly urged by our Bishop on the Board of Missions hes been promptly seized upon by the schismatics, and s golden opportunity thus lost tothe Church by the mistake of some of her best men.” APPEAL TO EPTSCOPALIANS.

A country clergyman, who had been accus- tomed to minister to the spiritnal peeds of a congregation in the back-woods, was called to occupy the pulpit of an absent metropolitan brotber. The day being excessively bot and his sermon exceedingly long, he made his prepara- tions accordingly. He first removed his cravat, and then bhis coliar and cuffs, and then his cont, and was proceeding to get rid of his vest, when there was a stir among the womhiEsrs, and one of them, rising, eaid. in & deep, deliberate voice: I don’t koow what may be the brother’s inten- tion, but perhaps it mizht as well be understood before he goes any further, that this isn't a bath-house.” He preached with his vest on.— Broollyn Argus. Mrs, Milliss has a very fidgetty boy named Sam. He don't mean wrong, but he can't help it. Na- tare turned him out with too much quicksilver in his blood. Mra. Milliss took Sam to chmrch last Sunday, and was ushered into a. pew in front of a nervous old lady who had evidentl: coms there to worship ber Creator. As 'S head didn’t reach above tho back of the sent, he felt the security of his situation, and began to wobble about as usual. The old lady endured it for some time with Spartan fortitude, but when Sam, having piled up three hymn-books, a New Testament, two catechisms, and an.old edition of Fox’s Martyrs, accidentally spilled them off the eeat, sho leaved over to Mrs. Milliss, and snid : *What I wish to remark, ma'am, 1s, that if that boy of yourn's quite well, he ought to know better, and if he's got worms, church ain't no place for him.” Itmade Mre.

As before mentioned, he was eatipg his lunch as tho reporter entered. Laying down aslice of bread, and wiping tbe ermmbs and butter from his mouth on thebackof his hand, with & gesture that wad as graceful as it was impressive, he asked the reporter’s pless- ure, seemingly anticipatiog a purchaser for one of Lia conchsheils. 'When he found that a sesker for information stood before him, his aspect changed. The iines that business cares had giaven on his brow were smoothed away by a benevolent smile. The eagerness of the trades- 'man was succeeded by the dignity of the philoso- pher, and Concbehell leaning over the counter looked benign)]ry' upon the reporter. Reporter—Mr. Reynolds, the season of politi- cal prophesying is come, and the voice of the interviewer is heard in the land. John Mor- risey hes given his opinion, Hendricks hag progrosticated, Tilden will soon be brought out of his sball, and the political world now waats to hear from you what wiil be THE LEADING I88UE OF THE NEXT CAMPAIGN.

Reporter—Rather ambiguous s a party plat- form, ien't it ? Conchshell—Not, sir, as the basis of Reunion. ‘We must get rid of the spint of disacion, snd unite the country. Washington's farewell ad- dresa enunciates the priociples upon which such a movement must depend for snccess. Rennion is nececsuzof:r the welfare of the people of thia country. Lookont for Communism.

Reporter—How long bas it been since the party was stacted 2 . Conchshell—I¢ has been revolvedin my mind along while ; but we never got fairly started until May. We held our meetings fizst ou Twelfth strect, near Peoria, at a pryvate house. That was when we were forming, and whea the Communista were trying to get us to join with them. Our discussions were VERY EXCITING. Every one had a hobby and a particular policy, but I was in favor of reuniting the country be- fore anything elie was taken up. Finally I sobmitted a sot of _resolutions that were the basis of the organization. ‘These declared Reunion of the States to be our object, and that this Reunion should be for the relief and aid of all who wonld co-operate for the securing of greater political equality, and the promotion of the fature interests of the membera of the party. You see, all otber parties bat this are just the tools by whioh office-seek- ers get into power. Now one of the first rnles we passed was thatno man should receive office who asked for it. Reporter—Are the Communists in with yon ? Conchshell—OL, they got mad atus.” Why one of them at one of our meetings said we were a get of rascals. - Reporter—Where do you meet ? Couchshell—We have bean mesting in Judge Rogers’ court-room in the City-Hall on Sunday afternoons. Reporter—You have medinms, and Free-Think- ers, and Communists, and all sorts of speakers at these meetings, don’t you?
