SUNDAY-SCHOOLS. 7EE ASSEMBLY AT LAKE BLUFF. The advissbility of holding an Asgembly for Je purpose of promoting the Sundny-school rork in the Northwest has for some time been under @nsideration, and Thursday afternoon a meeting of the Superintendents of the Sunday- schools of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the city and vicinity was held, that some definite sction might be taken with that end in view. At that weeting it was decided to hold such 11 Assembly, commencing July 18, and continu- ing cight days. The pfll:mch il{escze‘d was the 2 camp-ground, whi situated near fiifl?&, on the Milwaukee Division of the Chicaro & Northwestern Raitway, The grounds ere located on the blufls overlooking Lako Michizan, and are conveniently accessible 21l poinis of the west and northwest, %imgo and Miliaukee cars and steamboats, Ianding visitors on the grounds. Resolutiors were adopted Lglcdglng the sup- port. and_co-operation of the schools repre- Pated; also cordially invitinz the pastors, Su- yerintendents, and Sunday-schools of their de- nomination to take partin the Assembly, and meet on the common ground of Christian fel- o wshi] « Awgmmee cousisting of Messrs.

THE SHAKERS. WEAT THEY ARE, AND WHAT THEY BELIEVE. [he Brooklyn Argus has the following inter- wiew with Frederick W. Evana, the recognized &ead of the Shaker people: Elder Evans is 67 years old. He is fally 6 feet 4n beight, hie eyes are lm?hk there is a ruddy glow «u his face, the grasp of his hand is warm mi cor- wial. He was dressed in the quaint Shaker garb of @ Diue bomespun. The traditional, wide-brim- med Shaker hat covered his head, and the coats, expes, closks, fars, and wrappings which the £1- der wore, suggesied comfort in the coldest weather. ”'“‘ln: you are to epeak in the Academy of Music night > e e5, me come to Brooklyn totry alittle ex- ment.» periment “*YWhat Is your object, Elder, in visiting Brooklyn & this particalar time? Elder Evans—Converts to Shakerism generally evme on the heels of a revival. The great Ken- tucky revival, in 1808, helped us materially. | iWhat is the object of the Shaker fratcrnlty?” ‘Elder Evans—We claim that Shakerism is the est frauit of the tree of humanity. “Bat you are a celibate order, and if your views &onld prevail everywhere, the tree of humanity would bear no fruit. " ElderXvans—TWe believe in the existence of two crders—the reproductive, the natural order, and e spiritusl ardqr. These are as distinct from each other a8 the sun and the moon are. The light of the moon is from the sun, but they don't mingle tgether after the fashion of our Church and State establishments, . ¢ Have the Shasers political aims? " Flder Evane—Oh, yea; we believe that woman is acitizen—that she Is cligible to office. Ve believe that the Government of this country shoald be left % an order of celibates. No married man or ‘woman shonld hold an ofiice. The work of the Government of & great nation,—the grendest of all problems—shounld be left to an order of intellectnal celibates. Marriea men and women shonld take care of thelr families. *~Then, you do believe in matrimony?”™ Blder Evans—Yes, vea. Why, our very ideaof God is duality. We believe in ' Heavenly Father and 2 Heavenly Mother. “‘Do you accept the Scriptures?” Eider’ Evans—We sccept the Scriptures as so smuch literature of the Jewieh nation, but we do Dot accept the writings as the Word of God. We bellere that Jesus wasa son of God in the same eense thas Ann Lec, the founder of Shakerism, wasa daughter of God. Jesns was g representa- give spiritnal product of the Eastern World as Ann Lee was of the Western World. God s dual. Je- orah mezns be, she.

It was understood, after the close of the Cleveland Assembly last year that, if the word present had been left out the Southern Assembly would have consented to the estab~ lishment of fraternal relations.
