SUNDAY-SCHOOL TEACHERS ADVICE FROM NR. MOODT. Farwell Hall was crowded yesterday long be- fore the hour of noon, the time when the regular Saturday Sunday-School Teachers’ meeting is peually held. The reason for the vast assem- blage was that D. L. Moody was announced to k. The cards of admission were only limit~ ed by the capacity of the housc, and the audience wis in a largc part composed of active sorkers in the Christian ficld. Ladfes ominated, and among them were poticed a great many of our school-teachers, who came to drink in the words of wisdom quttered by Mr. Moody. Another reason for the lsrge audience lay in the fact that the well- fmown Evangelists, Messrs. Whittle and Bliss, would be present and assist in the exercises, Just presious to the commencement of the exerdses, Mr. B. F. Jacobs called for Yoluntetrs for the choir, which was placed upon the stage, and numbered about fifty ladies and gentlemen. Previous to the regular exercises, several hymns were sung by the entirecongregation, including, ] Need Thee Every Hour.” 'This singing was Jed by Mr. Thane. At the reguler services P. P. Bliss presided at the organ and led the elorc commencing this portion of the ser- vices, Mr. Bliss led in prayer, iuvoking the bless- Ingof Almighty God upon' the singing, and praying for the return of bealth to Mr. Saukey. Alr. B. F. Jacobs tacn announced tiat he hud received a letter from Mr. Stuart, of Philadel- phis, asking_that the Sunday-school workers fustain the Centennial Board in their determi- pation to keep the Exposition doors closed Sun- day, and moved that John V. Farwell be cm- powered to take the request of this meeting to Philadelphia and lay it before the Commis- sioners. Arising vote was taken, which re- sulted in 2 unanimous adoption. After the vote r. Jacobs said, * May God grant tiat they be frm? Mr. Bliss then led in singing “'Tie Great Physician.” - The services were opened by Mr. Moody an- nouncing the bymn, * Hallelajah, *t is done!” which was sung by the congregation standing. 3fr. Whittle thén led in an earnest prayer. Alr. Moody eaid that Mr. Bliss had just come back from the mountains where he had spent pis time writing new hyinns, and requested hin to sing one, 2nd in responsc Mr. Bliss sang ¢ At the Feet of Jesus,” a hymn of sweet words sct to attractive music, which tke gentleman ren- Jered most feelingly, playing his own accom. paniment on the cabinet organ. The hymn will Yecome popular as a Sunday-school song. At the Joseof the singing Mr. Moody called all to ome and stand upon the platform that could order that some of those who had beea turned ivzy might be admitted. The bymn “ Take , :he Name of Jesus with you™ was then sung by :he entire audience standing. - Mr. Moody then gave 2 words of cheer to she Sabbath-sthool workers. They did not now how his heart had been stirred during the aast three years, when le had heard of those urday meetings, and the maguitude to which they bad grown. 1Te had picked up Tuz TR1s- £¥& that morning and saw the Sunday-school esson discussed_in its columms. No one shonght that would come to pass three years 1g0. Now he understood therc were threc daily sapers in Chicazo_which wrote up this lesson i7ery Saturday. If any one had predicted that hree years ago, men would have said he was mazy. Somc of the most successful Sabbath- 200l workers he had secd in the Old World aad sprung from Chicago Sanday-schools, and s pleaded with the teachers to continue sow- g the good seed. He related the story of a ‘itfle boy whom he had picked up in a tank ou ihe North Side, who was now a Sunday-School :fi:d:’e' asked Mr. Bliss to sing “Ninety and 2ir. Jacobs ther. announced that a meeting of ministers would Le held immediately uncrgche conclusion of the exercises. Mr. Bliss then sung the *Ninety and Nine." Mr. Moody pronounced the benegiuuun, after which the'exercises were closed. After the meeting in Upper Farwell Hall was closed, 2 number of ministers held an informal discussion in the Iower hall, looking to holdin; a general mecting to-morrow for the purpose ugl getting Mr. Moody to stay in this city and or- Benize a serics of revival-mectings in some great hall to be decided upon hercaiter. ROMAN CATHOLICISM, THE PRESBYTERIANS DO NOT THINK ALIKE OX THE SUBJECT. - New York Sun, May 31. After the hearing of several brief reports from standing committces, the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church yesterday morning took up the consideration of the overture from the Synod of Missouri regarding “ Popish Baptism.” This overture, as read by one of the Secretaries, was, in effect, a recommendation that, in view of the Church of Rome being nd part of the Church of Carist, its baptism should not be con- sidered valid, and converts from Romanism to Presbyterianism should be baptized as though they had come dircetly from the world, and had never before been members of any Christian Church whatever. L. Breckinridge, on behalt Tue Rev. Dr. Wm. of the Synod of Missourd, addressed the Assem- bly, and offered a resolution that it was their deliberate judgment that the Church of Rome lad apostatized from our Lord and Savior Jesus Chirist, and therefore could not be recog- nized a5 a Christian Church. 1t was no defense of the Roman Church to say that it lield much truth, Dr. Breckinridge added; there were many bad societies of which this could be said. Even the devils themselves held much truth. Everything was asked by the Roman Church in the tinme of the Virgin Mary; Iittle or nothing in the name of Christ. And in this worship they 'were as certaiuly guilty of idolatry as if they lm)l bestowed it upon the lowest thing on eartls, for it wus robbing God of the vencration due to, {xlm aloue, to bestow it upon one of his crea- ures. As the speaker went on to read extracts from the devotional exercises of the Roman Catholic Chureh, the growing impatience of the delegates began to show itself in various ways, and, finally, one of them interrupted him to say that the Asscmnbly was perfectly well acquaintéd with all that Dr. Breckinridge was saying, and a recapit- ulation of thos¢ fHiings was an unnceessary waste of time. The speaker, however, insisted on pro- ceeding. He was sormsy e said, that he had not been able tointerest hisaudience, many of whom he observed were reading newspapers, contain- iug, doubtless, much more interesting matter than he was laying before them. He went on 1o say that the Roman Catholics, not_content_with worshiping the “Mother of God,” worshiped, also, her mother, whom they called St. Ann; inother words, he would go 50 faras to say they extended their worship To the grandmother of God. He proceeded to speak of the vencration of relics, the attention paid to the Pope’s toe, and the use of such ex- pressions as “6ur Lord God, the Pope.” Then, observing the increasing inattention of the As— sewbly, ne said, ‘4T must skip a great deal,” at which™ there was a vigorous, but very unflat- tering, burst of applause, at the expiration of which ' the speaker lost several pages of his manuseript, and oceupied some minutes in looking for it After dwelling upon the in- icney of Romau Catholic baptism, he re- ved the connection between St. Peter and c Roman Church. When Peter denied his nz Lord, and “began to curse aud he set an_ example thst ever sinee, much more faithfully than to any othier lesson he had taughit it. Dr. Breckinridge added that e hoped tue Synod of Missouri would be satisfied with his discharge of the duty to which it had assigned him. He had been harasse@ and hemmed in on all sides, and had not said half he had intended tosay. However, the wholc address would be: published in the Ass&zmbly Journsl, where the delegates could read it. A Dr. Knox said hé _agreed with Dr. Breckin- ridge in every particnlar, but he regrested that 60 long an argument had been considered neces- sary t6 lay it before the Assembly. The Rev. George W. Chamberlain, from Bra- zil, spoke bitterly of the intidclity of the Roman Cilureh. If the edict of the General Assembly, hie sald, should show that Roman Catholic bap- tism was valid, and that, thercfore, Brazil wus 3 Chiristian country, he did no think he would ever go back to his old field of labor, but could petition the Assembly to send him (o sowe country where the light of the Gospel had never shone. Tie Rev. William Wallace Brier, of San Jose, was the first speaker who opposed’ the orerture from the Synod of Missouri. Roman Catholic baptism, he said, must be considered valid, be- cause it was net affected by the moral character of the clergyman who adiministered it Perfec- tion could niot be expected in’ Romanism or any other church. Romanism recognized Protestant baptism, and the Presbyterian Ciurch could not afford to be less liberal. *“Let us,” e said, “drop all these harsh terms we have been in the habit of using toward our Roman Catholic e e e cadlol hops they brothren, aud ibor with them hund o liaod. jicked up and brought to the mission school Let the delegate from Brazil ce:usumdcxmmncu;i Siight turn out to be.. They might prove to be and try to purify them.” He spoke of an ol Whitfields, Bunyans, or Martin Luthers.

He related several incidents, and said they * jould aim for the conversion of children, and of they aimed to work, they would succeed. Hewanted them to worl to-day, not to wait ‘our months. Meny Sunday-school children would die in July and August. He wanted ‘hem to look for souls and they would get rihem. He wanted to sce personal work. Men were not converted by wholesale. They must souvert children one_by one, and they would told out. They would thenhave a whole life to sarve Christ. ‘They ought to aim for-the con- sersion of childrén. e wanted them to be juickened by the Holy Spirit. He wanted all to iave something to do in_the Sabbath-schools, 1ad to bring clildren to Christ. He took up the Sunday-school lesson for the lay, from Acts v., 12, 26. The Apostles in 2 as ‘given in yesterday’s TRIBONE. He icver knew a church to ymsgcr where there vere bickerings. He wanted all to bave warm Aearts for Go§,! ‘which was o necessity. There was 10 doctor required to cure these people. {uey were only right with God, they would have ower with God and with man. They found in {is Jesson that the laws of God and the Jaws of uan came in couflict. The Apostles were told npreach in Christ’s name. There were many 10w who could preach whole years without wen mentioning Christ’s pamc. Peter and 2aul could preack: no other than Christ and Him Tueified. Preaching without the name of Zhrist amounted to nothing. Whenever there a8 success in preaching then there was a stir anong the Devil and the cvil ones. They were thout mischief then. The children fere to be taught to obcy parents, but ’if helr parents taught them to disobcy God's uws, the children should —be ~ taught v obey God first. This seemed like a contlict veause God said, “Children obey your pa- futs,” but they must first obey 's laws. e told the story of a converted son who tried © get his father to closc his store Sunday, and 1ho finally succeeded by prayer, not alone in losing the store Sunday, but in converting his 1ther, and the boy became a minister, 2nd his cothers also. - In alluding to the twenticth verse in the les- on, %Go, stand and speak in the temple to $ie people all the words of this life,” he said liat it weant everlasting life. John V., 24 was me of the best verses in the Bible, which would done Jead children to Christ. IL all he rest of the Bible were blotted out, md only this verse remained it would be uflicient, to save sinners. He read and dis- eted the verse. Christ was judged oo Zalvary, and if they believed in Him they were »ved.” He wanted this verse taught to children obring them to Christ. He wanted the Word {God brought_down decp in the hearts of the Aldren in the Sundny-schools. Mr. Bliss than sang another new hymn of his ' composition eatitled Hallelajab, what a vior,’ - Mr. Moody then led jo prayer, thanking God the privilege of h:\vingl:vorked for God dur- ng the past twenty years, and asking for God’s léssing upon the Sabbath-school workers, and lllttblg‘mlght Dbave a great harvest for Christ luring the coming season, and that, thousands o teachers miggt be sent out to belg and [uicken the great work. He juvoked the bless- "Ea:‘ God upon the Gospel singers,Sankey and Miss, end thot they might be male 3 inmer blessing to the Christian work in e hands of ~God. He then requested ifr. Bliss to sing uw;mnqg_ and \\muni;_," thich was sung as a duet by Mr. and Mrs. Bliss tmid the most profound silence and attention, e cholr assisting in the chorus. The hymn is me of those sweet sacred songs which touch the cader heart by feeling and quickening words, nd {s one of Mr, Moody’s favorites at his re- mee! Mr. o‘go%‘_;y& then expressed his thanks for Seir prayers while he was engaged in work way from the city. He made an appeal for vorkers, and said that the last time be was in is hall was on the night of the great fire, ond is was the first time he had spoken theresince, "“'l_h;vmbably would Tnhoc e “’?}n together &2in for some time. e GOs] Kiginated upon this platform Lve, yoas &k 1 [ was resolve and burying their dead. - He was loved and ven- crated by them all, and, if God willed it, he would die among them.

PROPOSED JEWISH COLLEGE EDUCATED BADBIS AT A PREMIUM IN AMERICA. New York Sun, May 20. A Convention of delegates from leading Jew- 1sh congregations of the United States assem- bled yesterday afternoon at the Howard rooms at Sixth avenue and Forty-sccond street, to con- sider the establishment of a seminary or college in which the Hebrew language and literature and Jewish history and philosophy may b.c taught, and rabbis may be educated for Ameri- can synagogucs and teachers for Jewish schools. The call for the Convention procceded from t}l:n eight principal congregations of this clty, at the instance of the *Emanuel Seminary Associa- tion," a sodiety which was formed by members of the Fifth Avenue Congregation (then located in Twelfth street) ten years Or morc ago. The invitation to take gnrt in the Convention was accompanicd by an address,which says that, “notwithstanding the increascof costly houses of worship and the accession to_Jewish pulpits of men of learning and _cloquence, Judaism has not proportivnally gained 'fraund in the hearts of the Jewish people, an espeumlly“of the Jounger generation.” ~To remedy this, “ Jewish theologiaus trained in an American institution are needed, as well as an opportunity for our young men who devote themselves to the Sciences, the learned professions, and the higher ‘branches of commerce, to become acquainted with the history, literature, and hflos&ghy of Judaism. These young men are destined to be- come our representatives among the intellectual classes of the country, and we must preveat their estrangement from us during the period of their carly studies. Our congrc&nnonnl schools are inadccgmte for this purpose.’ 3 The want of rabbis whose native laoguage is the English, and who fully understand Ameri- can institutions and social customs, and can in- terest and attract the young sencration that has grown up on Aherican soil &\\'Mch the present Fabbis of German birth an training, though able scholars, cannot do), has long been 2 topic of discussion in the United States, and its ur- gency has been wing more apparent every year. To mect it the ‘Emanucl Seminary Associa- tion was founded. Other associations of a simi- Jar character have been organized in other citles, but they bave failed to Accomplish their {ur— pose. Very few ‘candidates for rabbluical hon- ors came forward to embrace the opportuni- ties of tuition and of financial assistance of- fered by these soticties, and of those who did bewin o course of theological study under their auspices, none ever completed it. _ Either the furnished by them were gnote;utg; there have been no young m cAhx:rlllg‘lg willing to study for positions in Jewish ulpits. It is said that on}y it one native of the ted States, at least of Gex:;nn descent, i? 5 have completed a course Ol P ev‘?;mtgh Lhculugy?und then to have taken a position as rabbi; and he did not mnk? a mark. finished a regular course o study turned away when about ready for pr%c- tical work, and took to other vocations. T : present, Conventionisexpected to result, throug! a combination of the means of many mngfl;g&i had | tions, in the establishment of s college that present ample attractions and larger opportuni " of ti ties for theological study tha a3 Yo fae_h Ji¢ dy than have existed About fifteen congreg leguti tions were represcnted alt and others fren pressing their readiness to render thei :fl‘féz of ussistance. Mr. Lewis May, tie baner, Pres- d.en!. of the Fifth Avenue Congregation, was ¢hosen as Chainnan, ~Letsers Werc read from e Rabbis of New Y ork, Phiiadelphis, Chicago, and other cities, in relation to various questiots pon which thelr views had been_asked, The prevailing sentiment was ndverse to the cs- tablishment of an independent Jewish college to give a regular course of secular as wellas theological “cducation. The founding of pro- {essional chairs in connection with some Ameri- can secular college of established reputa- tion was recommended as preferable, for the reason that it would not be so likely to exert a parrowing influence and would be less expen- sive. Mr. May aunounced that there had been communication with various American colleges, and they had sent assurances of their readiness to co-operate. He reported that the Temple Emanuel had voted to contribute $2,000 a yeary and that Chief Justice Daly, of the Court of Common Pleas, had offercd as a contribution the yaluable right of his “History of the Jews in America.” "Committees weré appointed to prepare resolutions, and for other purposes, and then the Convention adjourned to take a dinner in the Harmonie Club rooms, and afterward to 7 o'clock this evening. RELIGION IN KAFIRLAND. WITCHCRAFT THE LEADING FEATURE. ‘The religion of the Kafirs, like all other va- rieties of the * noble savage,” is nothing more than a vile superstition, accompanied by cus- toms of a most debasing character. By this re- ligion woman is degraded to the lowest level, and classed among beasts of burden and the goods and chattels of her masters. Polygamy, of course, is universally aliowed, and, under the system of purchase which prevails, the number of wives bears proportion to the wealth of the husband. Concubinage Is permitted, and no {dea of purity or virtue is permitted to exist. Witcheraft is the great lcading féature of the Kaflr religion, and * witch-doctors” are its riests. In those places where British in- uence does not exist, a system s regula.rl! carried out, by means of which men with ‘?r%pm are sacrificed to the rapacity of the Chiefs. A witch~doctor “ smells out” some person who bas caused, or is caus- ing, sickness or some evil. Cruel torture, fol- lowed by death, arc immediately applied to the ‘unfortunate victim, and his wives aud cattle ta- ken from him. This is an every-day occurrence among the Kafirs, and urgent ~representations are vu;?‘ {requently made to the Dritish Colonial authoritics upon the subject. The Kafirs belicve in a Supreme Being, but most of their rites are connecied with the' worship of their deceased ancestors, whose ghosts they endeavor to pro- pitiate. Aslgritunlist of the nineteenth cen- tury holds a belief something similar, and no doubt could fraternize with these savages onthe same ‘‘religious platform.” Christianity has made no real impression upon them, althongh the Eflmb intelligence and aptitude for learning e people has_been proved at one or two well-conducted industrial institutions. To use the words of an officer of the Government who spent many years among them, “ The Gospel has been presched to them for the last fifty years, and some attempis have been made ~ towards civilizing them; but the Kafirs, nationally considered, remain just as they ever were; novisible difference can be dis- cerned. They are as perfectly heathen now us they were in the days of Vander Kemp (one of the first missionaries, 1789), and so they ever will continue so long as_their political Governmeaut continues to cxist in its present pagan fonn.” This extract points to the Iact which Sir George Grey thoroughly recognized, and of which the Governments™ of the colonies and States of South Africa must be well aware, that unless the })ower of the witch-doctors be destroyed, neither can civilization progress, security be sc- cured, nor Christianity prosper. The one great menns of stirring up strife, fomenting war, and binding the people to their cruel and infamous relizion, is the superstitious belief in the powers and inflience of their priests, commonly known as witch-doctors. Physically, the Kafir race are particularly fine. Stalwart, well-formed, manly, and brave. They are also intelligent, and there arcnow in and on the borders of the volony a number of Christians among them.—London Aonthly. THE BIBLES OF THE EAST. PROF. MAX MULLER’S TRANSLATION. * M. D. Comwey in the Cincinnati Commercial, In magnificent coincidence with the first steps for opening Oxford to India, we have Prof. Max Muller’s prospectus for a translation of all tire Bibles of the East into the Janguages of Europe. More than a year ago I wrote you some particulars concerning this stupendous undertaking which the Oxford Orientalist re- solved upon so soon a5 he had completed his great work of editing the text of the Rig-Vedas. Prof. Max Muller announces that hie has secured for this work the co-operation of some of the best Oricntal scholars in England and India, and proposes to publish three volumes every year until the whole is completed, “What I contemplate at present,” he says, “and I am afraid at my time of life even this may seem t00 sanguine, is no morc than a series of twenty- four volumes, the publication of which will probably cxtend over eight years. In this series hope_to comprehend the following ‘books, though I donot pledge myself to adhere strictly to this outline: 1. From among the Sacred Books of the Brah- mans I hope to givea translation of the Hvmns of the Rig-Veda, While I 8hall continue my transla- tion of sclected hymns of that Veda, a Zraduction raisonnee which is intended for Sanskrit scholars only, onthe same principles which I have fol- lowed in the first volome, explaining cvery word and sentence that scems to require clucidation, and carcfully examining the opinions of previous commentators, both native and European, 1 intend fo contribute & freer translation of the hymns to this serics, with a few explanatory notes only, such as are absolutely neccesary to-enable readers who are unacyuainted with Sanskrit to understand the thoughts of the Vedic poets. The translation of perhups another Sanhita, one o wo of the Brahmants, or portions of them, will have to be included in our cries, as well ‘a8 the principal Upanishads, theosophic treatises of great interest and beauty. There is every prospect of an early appearance of a translationof the Bhay vadgita, of thie most importunt among the sacred law books, and of one, at least, of the Puranas. I shonld have wished to Include a translation of eome of the and of Jain books, of the Granth of the Siki similar works, fllnstrative of the later devolpu of religion in India, but there is hardly room for them 3t present. S T'ho Sncred Booksof the Buddhists will be trans- Jated chielly from the_two original collections, the Southern in Pali, the Northern in Sanskrit. _ere tie selection will, no doubt, be most diffcult. Among the first baokato b published will be, T hope, Sutras from the Digha Nikaya, 2 part of the Vihay-pitaks, the Dhammapada, the Divvavadana, the Lalita-Vistara, or leendary life of Buddha. '3, The Sacred Books of the Zoroustrians lie with- in & smailer compase, but they will require faller notesand commentarics in_order to make 2 trans- latfon intelligible and nseful. @ 4. The books which enjoy the highest authority with the followers of Kung fu-tze are the King and The Shoo. Of the former the Shoo King or Book of History; the Odee of the Tempie and the Altar, 2nd other pleces llnstrating the ancicat religions Views and practices of the Chinese, in the Shi King, or Book of Pactry; the Yih Kinz: the Li Ki: #nd the Hiao King, or Classic of Filial Piety, will all be given, it is hoped, entire. Uf the lat- ter, the scrles will contain the Chung Yung, or Poktrine of the Means the Ta Iiio, or Great Learn- nz: all Confucins' utterances in'the Lun Yu or Confu cian Anolects, which are of a religions na- ture, and refer to the principles of his ‘morsl sys- tem: and Mang-tze's Doctrine of the Goodness of Haman Navare, o the syetem of Luostze we require only o uanelation of the Teo-te-king Wi some of its commentarics, and, it may be, an authoritative o Hlustrate the actual oporation of its prin- ciples. B for Tslam, all that Is cesential is s trustworthy translation of the Koran. Tt will be my endeavor to divide the twenty-four volumes which are contemplated in this series as Cqually as possible between the six religions. But fuich mast depend on the assistance which I re- Ceive from Oritntal scholars, and also on the inter- Getand the wishes of the public. Among the first volumes to be published will be tramslations by Prof. Powell, Dr. Legge, Mr. A. Burnell of Tan- ore, Prof. Childers, Prof. Kelihorn of Poona, rof. Eggeling, and myself. From this it will be scen that Prof. Max Muller has a sufficiency of congenial occupation before him to last a considerable time. Iun- derstand that he has alrendy,obtained ample ccuniary guarautces for the publication, of the gdenufl Scriptures in English,—t vhich will be produced at_a cost of about 30s. per volume,— and that he Las also_obtained leave of absence from Oxford for eightcen months. Ie leaves for Dresden on Monday. it B RELIGIOUS MISCELLANY. THE CHURCH AT HOME AND ABROAD. The Order of the Sisters of Charity now numbers over 50,000 members throughout the world. - Opposition to the union of Church and State in England is organized and active. A fund of $500,000 has been raised, and within a year Bear- lya thousend meetings have been held anda vast quantity of publications issued. As an evidence of the decline of infant bap- tisms in the Methodist Church, it is stated that in the New_Xork Eastern Conference, which comprises 272 churches, only 157 infants liad been baptized durisg the Conference vear. This is about threc-guarters of an jufent to each chureh, The debt of the Philadelphia Youug Men's Christian Association s been reduced to the picayunc sum of $127,000. The whole cost of the palatial new building, Including the ground, is $4i5,000. ‘I'ne trustees still adhere to the de- termination, announced some time ago, not to open the building il the debt is paid. The Chicago Alliance, which h.salways ranked among the best religious journais of the coun- try, makes it a point to constantly improve. 1t now appears in tinted covers, addinz much beauty and four more pages to that justly popular paper. Prof. Swing continues to be the chief, and J. B. McClure the managing editor, and H. L. Ensign remains the business manager. In Madagascar, according to the Afissionary Chronicle, the natives I.Eke to Chrlstl:mié readily, but do not comgrchcnd its doctrines. The_Secretary of one of the Hova Governors conducts religious services regularly, but re- cently being asked about Christ, said he knew nothing ahout Him or His death. The sacrament is frequently administered, but the natives do not know what it means. It is estimated that the Brooklyn Sunday- school parade of last Wednesday ws);n Broukl,»'{l $40,000. - There were 40,000 children on foot, aud it is safe to say that the etgx:nsu; averaged $1 for cach child. ~ Icecream, bands of music, flags, banners, caks oranges, und other goodies, with new clothing or flnclz for a great many of the children, make up this sum. Yet the cash comes in_such small amounts, and from so many people, that nobody feels it seri- -ously. The money goes into the regular chan- nels” of business, and promotes trade in a healthy way. The only suffercrs (and that inan unhealthy way) are boys, such as the one who dragred his weary way home about tea-time, and told his mother he had been to three schools, had catcn sixteen picces of cake, five E}’nm of ice-crcam, and four oranges. This y said he was not feeling very well, and that l&;: ng]fld like, if there was no objection, to go v The destruction of the Old South Church in Boston, now going on, calls forth the honest indignation of a at_many Bostonizns and other patriots. The Church Corporation is wealthy, and _might have kept the venerable building standing for at least ‘another century. Some time ago Trinity Church refused 3‘2,00?;- 000 for St. Paul’s, preferring to let it remain be- cause of the associations connected with it. St. Paul’s has since been remodelled and beauti- fied,eand the services which arc held there regularly are well attcuded. The *Old South ” ought to have been renovated and opened 25 ‘3 free preaching-place, with the rost eloquent reacher the country could furnish regularly in ts pulpit. The congregation in their new and costly bnilding may pray with all their might for the conversion of the world, but in their. prayers they should mention, Except the poor sinncrs living in that unfashionable part, of the city where our forefathers worshipped in the old brick meeting-house.” The clergy of the Church of England are show- ing a someihat unusual and very gratifying in- terest in the causc of temperance, taking Tiold of it witha large degree of unanimity. Their. interest is shown not only in efforts to reforin the intemperate in their parishes, but also in a strong_movement for securing Parliamentary action in connection with the matter. A cleri- cal delegation, hieaded by Bishop Abraham and Canon Eilison,recentlywaitedupon the Archbish- opof Canterbury and anumberof Bishops, and presented amemorial asking the Bishopsto sup- port the measure in Parlinment for the further re- striction of trade in intoxicating liquors. This memorial was signed by 7,85 dcrg{men, in- cluding 11 Bishops, 19 Deans, 60 Archdeacons, 2 Canons, 151 honorary Canons, and 125 preben- darics. The Archbishop of Canterbury assured tbe deputation that the Bishops werc” as much awake to the great evil of intemperance as any- body could possibly be, and he was thankful that the Church of England had lately been, he might almost say, teking the most prominent part in drawing the attention of the publictoa reasonable and wise mode of dealing with the subject. Any measures introduced into Parlia- ment were sure to have the serious attention of the Bishops. PERSONAL. Spurgeon declines a call to lecture in the United States. ‘The Rev. George Peck, D. D., who was broth- er of Bishop Peck, was 79 years old when he died, last week. He began preaching when ke was 18 years old,and did o vast amount of pioneer work in the northern part of Pennsyl- vanin. Pope Pius IX. was born the 13th of May, 1792. fe was ordained priest the 13th of April, 1819. He was consccrated Bishop the 21st of .Mzy, 1627. He was created a Cardinal Dec. 14, 1540, and clected Sovercign 'Pontiff June 16, 1846. He is now in the thirkieth year of his Pontificate, and the $ith year of his age. Dr. Henry A. Boardman has resigned the pas- torship of the Tenth Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia. He has been minister of the Church for forty-three years, having been clected in November, 1833. “Iis resigmation was tendered on the ground that his failing health rendered it impossible to perform all the dutics required by his position, and also on the ground that the welfare of the church demanded that some younger man should occupy bis place. President Robinson, of Brown University, in a sermon preached in the First Unitarian Church, of Providence, R. L, recently argued that, religion, like the physical world, had its epochs and revolutions, and that the present movement, though bloodless, js_deeper and more_significant than any preceding one. He snid that he was not afraid of progress, but he was convinced that the Chtistian, religion is more firmly established in the worldl than ever. The labors of Mr. Moody aud Mr. Sankey in Great Britain arc still bearing fruit. An effort in now making among the evangelical Christians in Dublin, Ircland, to erect a hall in that city which may be made the centre of united cffort in the evangelization of Ircland. Ageneies will algo be carried on among the saflors on behald of fallen women. The London News says that #Mr. Moodyis understood to take an interest in- the suceess of the movement, and besides giving a_handsome sum, he lately spent some days in New York in seeking to advocate its claims on American Christians. The sum of $20,000 is still required to defray the cost of the uncer- taking.” The Rev. Dr. Upson, in a memorial sermon to the late Rev. Dr. Sprague, gave the following iustances of his remarkable memory and facility of composition: “Not many months before his death I heard him recite a prayer of President Diwight, which hs had he: him make at Fair- fleld, Conn., in his own youth. It wasdone witl so much reality that for the moment it scemed as if the dignity and impressiveness and commanding presence of the great New En- land teacher Dbeen revived before me. But iis industry and concentrative’ power and memory in nuthorslgfi were surpassed, if Kussiblc, by his facility ineexpression. It as often been remarked that his_rapidi- ty of composition was marvelous. TheRev. Dr. Ray Pulmer, in a recent article,/has said: ‘I have personally known him to_write out fully twosermons and preach them both within the eame twenty-four hours. A very popular course on the text, ‘I would not live away,’ published afterward in The National Preacher, was commenced on Sabbath morning and finish- ed between the services andpreached in the af- ternoon. And I have heard indirectly from him- sclf how on one occasion lie received notice of the death of an eminent minister in Central New York Iate in the aftcrnoon of one day, and by the same time in the next afternoon be had writ- ten the funeral sermon of that minister, attend- ed the funeral, delivered the sermon, and re- turned to his study. I have read the sermon to which I refer, and T can_discover no indications of inste in the method of thought or style of expression. The whole production scems per- vaded with the thoughtful vigor so character- iszl(cl ?g,the preacher whose deatl is commemor- ated. BREVITIES. By our pastor perplext.

A young Philadelphisn, threatened with a breach-of-promise suit, says: *Sue away.

An Tllinois minister announced on his Sunday- night bulletin: *The funeral of Judas Iscar- fut.” To which an obliging fellow added: ‘“Friends of the deceased are cordially invited.” 1t fs noticeable that the invocation of Whit- tier’s Centennial Hymn js addressed to * Our Fathers' God.” Probably the poet had some doubts ihether the present generation had one.—DBurlington Hawk-Eye.

Dr. N. McLeod one day was overwhelmed with work, and the door-bell never ceased to Hn%, when some one said: - “I believe that that bell fs possessed by an evil spirit.” ¢ C in- 1y, he answered, ‘‘don’t you know that the gflnm of the evil spirits is” called *‘Bellzebub,” lor thus wr;uflng -worked ministers??
