Notwithstanding these wondrous perfarm- ances, McFarian persisted in carrying bis piison- ersto jul. Booze had arevolaton that he would not be incarverated, ot which ho told the Deputy Shenff, but that cal:vus individual Isughed io dension. Wnen at iust they came to Paw Paw, nether jailer nor key could be found, and Booze's revelation proved wrue.

But now be had given up all, wiliing even to bucome foal for Christs sake, And now that he was strinped for the race, he continued to follow the cloud which went befare him, Eaing through hriars and thorns, over ravinee, and across gwamps and morasses, until he came direct fo blecwnbome. So wondsrful had tho Lord been plossed to lead him, and when we cometo investigate the routs over which he traveied, he came etraight as 4f be bad been following the compass. < Uncle and nephew went home and preised tha Lord tor their deliverance.

It wasa fine day, and there was a “ apicv breeze coming from the east.” Tney were told by the Spirit to - baleit. The *old virnsof consumption” was thereby thrown out of their lungs, they recetved strength in their cbests they had never had be- fore, and from that time tothe present their * lungs have ssemed to be of brass.” This same day they saw S10N8 AND WONDEES IN THE BEAVENS: ‘We noticed one of those Deavenly oljects at which we bad been looking moving toward us, and Lept Tear to us urtil we arrived at the house of my uncle’s, ‘whez it came down within about 75 fect Of U?, 1n the air, snd presently it sook theform of & largo man, with a white robe wrapped avout him, the beard and hair a8 white as the snow, with » fage’ and eyea beam- ing with love.

A dsy or two afterwards Booze and Brers ‘were sgain arrested, but God confounded their aoccusers st the trnal.

They entered the jail * feeling as though they wers fjoing into the Temple of the Lord.” Four men were 1n prison whom Booze suspected were thers 0 watch them. They requested him to expound the ways of God, which he did. While he was tatlang ** tbe Holy Ghost fillel the prison like a mighty, rushing wind, insomuch tbat the pris- ooers” all shouted and praised God at the top of their voices for salvation, and the very walls seemed to tremble with the power of God. The juler ‘was terribly frightened, and rao to the door told us 10 stop such a Doiss, or be weuld stop us. Buot I told um that we would shoat and sing and m{ulnd talk of she goodness of God, though he wight ses fit to burn us at the stake.” That ssttled the jailer, who did not again_interfere. After two days' incarceration, during Which time the walls were made to ring with praise to God, the prisoners were released on condition that they ahould appear when wanted.

Bisbop Sumny:80n respondad for his colleazues, and returned their sincere thyua.s for the great booor paid them personally, sod for the respect exbibited for their office. It was a very difforent recepiion than that given to Jesse Les, who found no house to 1eceive him and no™ ablé to which ke could be iuvited. Tamng a bougnot of flowers from the table he remarked that sume of the flowers were beautifuliy a+propriste to the occasion. He noticed immorielles with their whiteness, which told hiw of the daoarted oves who bad left behind them rnemories fragrant with joyful recollections. Then he fonod full blowwu flowers, artemisias, caryeanthewmums, sad others, representing full-grown Chtistians, the manhood and woinanbood of the Courch. Peep- 1ng out from among thew he saw the httle rose- bud which told bim of those who were conuug up to bua and blossom and il wich fragrance the future pistory of the Church. All these ha had found baund together by the twining plant called Boston smilax. In the same way he ho, ed New Eogland Metbodism would serve tho purpose to bina together in closer .unity the many braucbea of the Christian Churob. Bishop Peck was tbea 1ntroduced, and made a very pretty epeech, Ho came, " he gaid, f.om & land whote the winter was choice 8pring ; where the pights were retreshingly cool, and tbe days sweet with suusbive; wheie the zolden harvosts take their fresh spring from the rich earth in December and Janunary, aod wheis be could eat delicions peaches from the tres which bears abundantly fifteen months from tho pit; where loog yarns were used (o measure yesis: whero the trees were eo big that one must stand before them and grow for a mouth before he could un- derstaud how large thev arc; where beets. which are natural to New Englund, grow eo tal that one of us former colleagues placed ooe of them upon the floor and then lifted up his chin to get the other end in; where the wheat-fields sielded 50 busbets to the acre, and where osts and potstoes, With other luxuries, were par- ticulatly well developed. ton something far better than all that he had cescribed, and thal was a stroog development of all that is gracious to guests and MOSt sgroe- #ble to Bishobs. ) X The last speech of the evaning was by Bishop Haven, who & oke ot the importance of the Methodist Church as an opponent o Romaniem. —— " THE INTERIOR." ITS EVOLUTION DOCTRINES, To the Editor of The ¢hicago Tribune * Carcsco, Nov. 18.—In a former communica- tion I made reference to an articls in the lnleri or containing a distinct enuncistion and indorse~ ment of the Evolution philosophy. In making this stateanent, or this charge, sgainst the /nleri- or, 1did uo injustice to thai paper. Thare is the editorial,—it apeaks for itself. I know, of course, there are two or three editors who write in the office of that paper,—this is not an un- usual thing in large newspuper offces,—bu it is always supposed that there is one who is the chief or principal editor, and who is supposed to have a general oversight aud respousibility for what appaars in the paper, espscially as editorial matter. ‘There is & sentence 1o my communica- tion which seems to fix the reaponsibility of that srticle oo Dr. ratton. a8 he 18 aaderstoad to be the chuel edit It 2, ;pears that I was mistaken in this supposition, and I write tius simply for the purpose of undoing what might seem an act of injustice to him personaliy. In a commani- cation I nave juss received from bim, he says: I havo a8 litt.e sympathy with evolution as you, 2nd wish to yemove your raisapproaension.” It made my heart rejoice to get this distinct and empuatic disavowal, for thers i8 D0 one one wao honors and respects Dr. P. more thanI for the firm and fear ess actitude which he is_ever reads to assuine in_defenes of truth and in orposition to error. I ebould be disavow the authorehip of the article in ques- tion; and if they should entin:lv wichdraw it, I bave 1o doubt that msnv old Presbyteriana bemides mysalf wonid rejoice izaruly. Bucit1s not withdrawn, It stanas these in the co.umos of tbe Interior, pleading for thy Evolution phi- losophy more piously and poatically than any thing [ have resd for months. It looks to me like ap attempt to jngraft evolwiion oo the sys- tom of grace. The writer, whoover he may be, saye: The law of development (evolntian) is broader and grander than ita sscumed champlon have dresmol, ending t0 28 ewtcp not only thw framework of the worid, but the history of hununity as well, That God wiiose [aws have molded ths universe and fash- ioned it into present besaty and use, presides over the destiny of man in the interests of spirtusl trush and by means of laws. The history of redemption, greatur than the history of plznets, ‘requires a wide theatre. It canmot be pressed into an hour, As age Ly ai® 1he slow couceus tric rings girdie the heart of the gi.iat trecs in tbe Yo Zzoned the concen- tric tiought, civilization, art, eduration, hope, and love of man, etc. Here it is w<eumed that the law of develop- ment or evolution is broader and granasr than its asaumed champions had dreasaed. —that the universe bad been molded 2ad fashioned into its present beauty in accordauce with these ever- lasting laws of Nature, u8 the materialist wounld say. But to call them laws of Godl, as the Inte- rior doos, alters nol the sense. Everything is accordiog to nunchangiog Jawa. There is oo miracle. Everything 1s evolved, the result of growth, proxrers, one thiog proceeding from apother. This is what all matcnalista say, because they abhor a miracle a8 mnch as it was said that Nature abhors a vacumm. The old atomic and matenalietic philosophy was devised for the pur-oge of freeing the world from inter- meddling of the goda. But we most believe in miracles. And the man who caviot believe a miracle cannot be & Christian. I hope tnat yon will keep my tbree propositions iu the firet com- munication before the world, for' ] only trust that I shall have tims and a favozable oppor- tunity to prove them. 8. A.

Their &chool a8 prograsring, and was gaining strength with fattering rapidity. Teachers' meetings were held only when there was some 1mporsant work to be done. M. N. S.

KINDALL, = very earnest worker, read an easay on ** Primary Clagses,” in which she fully reviewed the im- portance of making religions impressions on the infasot mind. The Catholic Church wsa right when it said, *‘Give us the children, and we care nat for the adults.” The hops of religion was in the tising generation, and if good seed were planted early, the crop of godliness would be early and abundant. The susceptible heart of the child reflected the spirit of those who wers its teachers. To the istter was committed & glorious task—that of shaping the future destiny of a living sonl ; to gaide 1 to silvation ; to steer 1t safe over the anoals and quicksands of life. The lessona to children should be short, simple, and poisted. Their imagination—their ioherent idealism— sbould be appealed to to excits their euthusiasm, and make their devotioual lessons oot a task, but & pleasure and a reward. Noth- 1Dg was truer thao that early impressions wete the mosat lasting, whether for good cr evil. Early education was the mold of haman character, and, therefore, the primary echool migbt be re- garded as the fountain of Chris:un Lfe and koowledgo.

Tho other two bodies consmdered the clams of Diseeuters to interment in parish cburchyerds. ‘Lbe apinion of the Oxford Conference was sum- med up i its final resoiution, which said, in brief, that every Englishman had & right to - termont withont violstion of Lis religions opin- ions ; tkat the Churah of Englacd had & right to ber churchiyarde ; that the dead of othsr denom- inations might be buried in tham without religi- ous eervices, and that public -cemeteriea should be provided by the authonties where any deaired service might be beld.

Robinson has resigned the astorate of the Baptist Church at Rociton, to :ake effcct the last of tho year. Bishop Scott. on his 73d birthday, was pre- sonted with a beautiful tea-set oy the delegates oI the Erie Conference. Tie Rev. A. P, Mead hes been trsnsferred from the Rock River to the Wisconein il E. Ceuferance, and stationed at Racine, where he nag a large and flouniehing church. He loft for 4is new fiold last week, and met with & very hearty reception ail round. 1t is stated that the Rev. W. W. Case, a promi- neot membar of Wisconsin Conference, is tv be transferred to church services in Cincinnati. The Rev. Dr. Brooks, of St. Louis, declines a call to the First Presbyterian Church, Indianano- lis, in 8pite of the tempting offer of a $7,500 anlery. Dayid C. Bell, s prominent religions worker of Minneapolis, has been in the city duriog the a8t week. Ha reports the religions iateresc of that flourishing cityas keeping pace with tha asterial prosperity. The Rov. J. B. Pinney, LL. D., former Govor- nor of Liberia, whose le life ha: been de- voted to Africa and its people, is now lecturing 1 New York City on that country as a field for misionary and philanthropio effort. At » meeting of the Liders, Deacons, and Truszees of the First Presbyterian Church, St. Louis, held Isat week, to cousult with referenca to calling & pastor, it was resolved unanimously tocall & meeting Of the church and congrega- tion, and to recommend to them to invite the Rev. Dr. Ganz, of the Datch Retormed Church, New York City, to the pasiorate. And now it appears that Prof. Everett, of Harvard College, will not bs aliowed to take his seat in the Massachusetts Legisiature if elected, the Constitution of that State forbidding the sittiog In either branch of the Legislature of the President or any of the Professors or instructors of Harvard Collegs. Itis a remarkable fact and worthy of note in thisconnection. that the keep- or c:il adrinking saloon bsa no disability of the kind. Dr. Talmage explains why Mr. Moody did not preach io the Unitarian Church while at North- fleld. He saye that some years ago Mr. Moody went to that, his native town, and by invitation of the pastor preached in the Unitarian Church. His subject was **Wounded for our transgres- sions,” and, of course, spoke of Christ's bicod 88 shed for sinners. After service tho pastor told Mr. Moody that “Christ's blood has no more to do with us than the blood- of a chicken.” Such irreverant and outrageous utterance wound- ed the foelings of Mr. Moody, and be resolved never sgain to expose himself to Ench treat- ment. Mr. G, B. Jobuson, of St. Louis, writes to the Standard, of this city, in reference to the Rev. J. D. Bemo, who bas been. and probably now is, ona collecting tour throngb the Northwest. It appears from Mr. Johnson’s etatement that each snd every statement msde by Mr. Bemo abont himself is false ; that he is not an Indiao at all, but a Spaniard ; that he was not with Dr. Kane's oxpedition; that he wae not the first convert among tha Seminoles, or, indeed, con- verted there at all; that he has lisd about his church, his audiencs, and his Sundsy-school ; that he cannot preach in any other language than English. It would appear that the general tone of the letter opposed Bemo's clsim to any- thing Christian. : TS RELIGIOUS ECCENTRICITIES. A colored Christisn of Manoie, Ind., axpressed his opinion of Adam thusly: *‘If Adam had po more senss dan to est ds Lord's winter apples, he ought to be turned out doors.” “*The Ray, Marray saya tha. there is nothing in the Bible to prohibit a Christian from keeping s race-horse.” No, it is the nothing in ths pocket that prohibits most of them from koep~ ing one. *Piety,” remarked sn Arkansas preacher to bis congregation the other day, **does not con- sist in noise.
