Norton, late ‘of Brooklyn, but now State Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. The ball was very comfortably filled. ‘After the singing of the hymn * Over There,” the meeting was led in prayer by the Rev. Lewis Raymond. The leader then annouuced the Su}:dzy-sdmol lesson to- be the narrative of Saul’s conversion, &s contained in Acts, ix., 1-18. Leader and audience read the lesson, each read- ing a verse alternately. After the announce- ments for the coming week, the audience Sotned fn singing * Rock of Ages.” ; Mr. Norton then took up the lesson and com- mented onit. He called it a besutiful picture, and said be thought it important to have it en- graved, s it were, on the mind. They wanted to know Ssul. He was a young man, who had consented to the death of Stephen. He was born in Tarsus, of the very best family, n:? had sat at the feet of Gamalitl, from whonf he had received the best religious instructions. If most people could con- tinually be kept under good religious influences, they would be interested in the subject, but the trouble with them was that they got outside of this beneficent influence. Paul was deeply in- terested fu religion, and thought he was doing alone carried the practice away from Andover, employed it 25 far as he was able during a the- ological cqurse at New Haven and his subse- quent career as a Perfectionist, and finally in- trodused it into the Oneida Community a5 “a standing ordinance of family culture.” The method pursued in these primitive eriti- cisms is thus described by the author: Any person wisling to be criticised offered him- self for this parpose at a mecting of the Associa- tion. His cgmnlc(er then became the subject of special scratiny by all the members till the next mceting, when his trial took place. On the pre- sentation of his case each member in turn was called on to specify, as far and as frankly a5 pos- #ible, ever{thing objectionable fn hischaracter and conduct. In this way the person criticised had the advantage of a many-sided mirror in Viewing himself, or perhape it may be said was placed in the focus of & spiritual Jens, composed of all the Jjudgments in the Association. It very rarcly bap- pened that any complaint of injistice was made by the subject of the operation, and generally he re- ceived his chastening with fortitude, submission, and even gratitude, declaring that he felt himself relieved and purified by the ‘process. Among the various objectionable fentures of the character un- der criticism, some one or two of the most prom- inent would usually elicit censure from the whole circle, and the judgment on these points wounld thas have the force of a unanimons verdict. Any soreness which might result from the operation was removed at the encceeding meeting by giving the patient a round of commendations. Perbaps the most curious ?mon of the pamphlet is that devoted to “Hygienic Criti- cism,” wherein it is claimed that_criticism is a bealth-restorative of unparalieled virtue. The ‘writer says: Itis a common custom here, for a person who may be attacked with any " disorder, to apply this remedy by sending for & committce of persone, in whoee faith and epiritoal judgment he has con- fidence, to come and criticise him. The result, when edministered sincerely, is almost universally 10 throw the patient into a sweat and to bring on 2 reaction of his life against disease, breaking it up and restoring him goon to vsual health. We have seen it take effect at an advanced stage of chronic disease, und raise 8 person.up apparently from desatl'a door. CHRIST’S BLOOD. REPLY TO DR. HERFORD. v the Edltor of The Tribune. CricAGO, Nov. 4.—“But though we, or any angel from Heaven, preach any other Gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.” A verse or two pre- vious to the above, Paul, speaking of Christ, writes: *“Who gave Himself for our sins.” Now, it is not our duty to pronounce sentence “of punishment upon Mr. Herford. God has “said *“Venpgeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord,” and also through His servant Paul the ‘words already quoted. Let us leave that part to Him then,—thanking God that we may, and only try, by the grace of God, to lead some of those whom Satan may have enticed from the nerrow path by the words spoken last Sunday night,—and, should it please God, even the speaker of those words also—back from their fearful wretchedness of doubt, darkness, and misery into the light of believing on the Lamb, whose blood was once so freely shed for them, for all that will believe. Unbelief is what God service in perscruting the early Christians. He regarded them about as highly 25 he would ennkes., and thought the best thing would be to %m' them out of the way a8 soon as possible. ut he found the love of God “excecdin abundant,” and he never forgot it. He carrie such o losd of responsibility on his shoulders as no man had cver carried before or since, and yet he mever forgot his former opposition to God. He was, in his own words. the chicf of sinners. On the occasion of this conversion, no one was profited but Paul himself. The otners were struck dumb, so to speak. They heard voice, but suw no man. Saul, the leader and the worst among the lot, wassaved. Wasthere not some onc iu the andience to cry, * Lord, I hear of showers of Llessicgs,” and ask God that this blessing might rest on him? The leader next examined the character of Ansnias, who had blessed Paul, and the scales bad then fallen from his eyes. It was wonderful bow Christians found “oui one another. Ananias at first . thought he could ive the Lord some information about Paul, but fl’had no cffect onthe Almighty. He knew thot the invincible will of Paul, turned in the right direction, was that which would be a8 wer in the presence of Kings and Councils. ow many there were like Ananias. They were doubtful about going to thevile and urging them 0 come 1o Christ. How frequently the so-called ** hopeless cases ? made more prog- ress inthe Kingdom of God thau those - going attendants of churches who never made ao out-and-out confession of -Christ! Among this class wes the great field of labor. Who would not enter -upon it, and have the joy of secing them come into the fold of Christ? udience then saug, “When Jesus with mueh spirit. Mr. Sharp said the sinners of the present day were now crying, *“Lord, who art Thou?’ Men and women bad told hi time and sgain that they were tou great sinners to be saved. But they couldn’t begin to compare with Saul—the chicf of sinners. Anotler brother commented on Paul’s sincer- ity in his mistaken course before his conversion. ‘That sincerity, when well directed, was _instru- mental fa building up the Church of God. Tue Rev. Mr. Youker didn’s think Paul the chief sinner. There were men now a thousand times worse offl. Paul had done all these thinrs ignorautly, but could any one make fgnorance an excuse in this nincteenth century? He instanced, in conclusion, a case of the eflicacy of prayer in turning a bar-room into a grn)'crvmcctiug where souls were saved. Mr: Jacobs said it was a question whether Paul was miraculously converted. Almost equally wonderful conversions had since oc- currcd. It was quite possible for some people in Farwell Hall to see a lizht, and for others to see Christ. The heavenly light at noonday had awakeued Paul, but the wo! of anias bad led him to kuow Christ. Paul was in- deed a2 chosen vessel unto- God to bear His npamwe. He hed been 2 ves &cl before, —an carthen vessel,—but De was now a Vessel of gold. He was a changed man. He had a pew owner, whose name he ‘bore, aud be was bound for a new port. Chris- tians generally carried too many barnacles, like the Great Eastern, which had recently been dry- docked, and the barnacles were fonnd to welgh five times as much as her eargo. Another brother referredto Paul’s mental and intellectual acquirements being prostrated be- fore the voice of God. The most specious at- tack againet Christianity to-day was from the people of culture, but these attucks vanished as 8 breath before the sight of God. The Rev. Mr. Parkhurst said conversion to- day was attended with the same details as it was in"the case of Paul. The steps were all the same. He had found a wonderfal simflarity in the mnodes of vonversion among the people of China and the anxious seckers after Christ in the inquiry-rooms. l’uople fought agrinst the Lord until the power of God brought conviction. The parallel betweenPaul’s conversion and the modes of conversion of the present day should be fmpressed upon toe children ¥, Mr Albro made the closiug prayer, after which the meeting joiued in the bym, “The light of the world is Jesus.” The Rev. Mr. Bush pronounced the benedic- tion, and the mecting was over. MUTUAL CRITICISM. AT THE ONEIDA COMMUNITY. The above is the title of a queer little pamphlet issued by the authoritiesyof the Onelda Community, and presumably written by J. H. Noyes, whose name occurs frequently throughout the work, and who {s himself a spiritual leader among the Communists. It secms to be a practice among this peculiar peo- ole to huld meetings at certain times, when the character of each of the members is discussed in turn, openly and without reserve, and this is what {s termed “Mutual Critidsm.” In his book Mr. Noyes relates the origin of this kind of criticism, and its development in connection with the Opeids Community; he slso adds minute instructions how to give criticism and bow to recefve it, together with examples of actunl practice, selected from books of reports which have been kept at the Oneids Community for mavy years. Here iswhat he says regarding its origin? In consequence of my decision to become a mis- slonary, soon after I entered the Theologics! Sem- inary at_Andover. my conucction with the mis- sionary brethrer became very intimate. and I was admitied to a eelect socicty which nas existed among them since the days of Newell, Fisk, etc. One of the weekly exercises of this Society was a Irank criticism of each other's character for the purpose of improvement. The mode of proceed- ing was this: At each meeting, the member whose trn it was 1o snbmit to criticism, according to the alphabetical order of his name, held his peace, while the other members, one by onc, toid him his fanlis fn the plainest way possible. This cxercise sometimes cruelly crucified self-complacency, bot it was contrary 1o the regulations of the Society for any one to be provoked or compiain. I found much benedit in robmitting to this ordeal, both while 1 was at Andover and afterward. It may interest the public eacrally to learn that onc of the observances of this Free-Love Community near Oneida started in a theological seminary. It does not appear from the records that mutual criticism bas ever prevailed to an alarming degree amonz orthodox churches; in act, it scems to have been cunfined entirely, Rl B Spln of th Ouelds Co vy e little band of prospective sionaries *in Andover Sem!.n:‘l’-y pick Noyes darkens our eyes 50 that we are unable to see salvation 2s it truly is in Christ Jesus. Let wus then forget self, 1orget our doctrines and crecds, and only look to the Rible and see what God tells us, and remember that every word is God’s word. We cannot believe one part and disbelieve another. If we hope to get any light we must banish un- belief once and forever, or it will be in vainthat we seek for light. In the commencement Mr. Herford says, #T do not need to spend much time in explaning to you what the aoctrine of the Blood is,” ete. ‘The whole trouole of this matter really liesin the fact that Mr. Herford bimself does notknow really and truly what the meaning 15, as fs proven by the fact that nearly cvery time he mentions salvation, as connected with Christ’s death, uses the word ‘‘mysterious” or “ mystical.” If the was truly, saved and “ wash- ed in the blood of the Lamb,” this precious truth would bave for Lim no “mysterious” meaning, There is nothing mysterious or hard to understand in this thing. It is the same old, old story of salvation by the only name given ‘under Heaven wherchy men must be saved. Itis what Christ Himself preached; it is what Paul preachied: it is what Mr. Moody preaches,anditis what every true disciple of Chnist must preach. And the most glarious part of the whole thing is that if we look at the matter with an unpreju- diced eye we shall see that there is not one par- ticle of difference between the way of swvation that, Christ preached 1,300 years ago_and what Mr. Moody is preaching to-day. It Mr. Herford would ook alittle closer he would probably tind that the ministers of the Gospel he names do not believe or preach what he says they do; but, passing that by, let us, to use Mr. Herford’s oW words, see ‘* what th¢ Master says,” and he, having said that *‘ when Mr. Moody can find me one siugle time when Christ ever inade this doctrine of ‘the blood’ a point in His preach- ing, or when He ever preached it all, why Il giveinand go andsit among the anxious in- uirers at the Tabernacle.” Now it ocs mot matter whether Mr. Moody tells him so or not, s0 as it is in the Bible, therefore if Mr. Herford meant what he said, he will, if he reads this, be at_the Taber- nacleto-morrow, since Christ says in Matt., xxvi., 28: “For this if my blood which is shed for many for the refission of sins.”” Can words speak plainer thah that? There can be but one way of construing that verse. It plafuly shows of itsclf (were it the only oue in the Bible) that Christ’s mission was not, ‘as Mr. Herford says, merely to “ persuade men to believe God’s fath- erly love for thiem, to help them realize it, and to encourage them to act upon it, and so be saved. It was to save sinners. 1If we believe what God says, we know that we caunot be saved by our own works. He says, in Gal, il., 16, “Knowing that & man is ot justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ; for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justitied.” For we must remember that *all our righeonsnesses are as filthy rags.” What, then, is the way? Plain a8 daylight do we bave it in God’s Word, 25 we have seen already, and also in Matt., i., 21, “And ghe shall bring forth a son, aud thou shult call His name Jesus, for He shall save His people from their sins.” and again, in Luke, ii,, 11: * For unto you is born, 1n the City of David, s Savior, which is Christ the Lord.” If what Mr. Herford said was_true, then we clearly sce that we have no need of o Savior; for, according to him, Christ is but au example, and we are to save ourselves by our works. _Conscquently eachof the mauy, many times the Bible tells us of Christ as our only Savior would bealic. What is Christ to save us from If we can save ourselves from the condemnation of our sius by our good works? Br. Herford says, “Don't trouble yourscives with the Epistles yet awhile,” as to such verses as *“Without blood there is no remission of sins,” and “The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us_from all sin. Ile says. 3 awbile and the meaping of such verses will be explained”; but, after * waiting awhile,” the meaning is not explained, except if he calls “ecxplaiming ”* that such glorious truths were merely the expressions of gratitude to Him for His “example, and trying to' make them understand God’s ~ love for them. What, indeed, had this to do with His “cleansing us irom all sin.” The truth is, these Verses need no explaining,—they spealc for themselyes. Sv, without ** waiting awhile,” let us take God’s Word as He gives it, and be- lieye it. In Jobn, xi., 49 and 57, it tells us how Caiapha prophesied "“ Yc know nothing at all, nor consider that it is expedient that onc man should die for the people, aud that the whole nation perish not;*’ and in Romans, v., 8 aud 9, “ But God commandeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet siuners, Christ died for us. Much more, then, being row justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.” In Hebrews,ix, 19 to 23, the Gospel is given us so plainly that there isno chance for mistake, finishing with the words, *‘So Christ ‘was once offercd to bear the sinsof the people,” etc. The same in Romans, fiL., 23-23, reading, in part, thus; “For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God.” But, # Being jus- tified freely by His Grace, through the redemp- tion that is in Christ Jesus, whom God has set forth to be a _propitistion; through faith, in His blood, to declare His righteonsness for the remission of sins that are past througn the forbearance of God. Where is boasting, thenf It is excluded. By what law? Of works! Nay, but by the 1sw of faith,” ete. Inl. Peter, i., 19, God says we are redeemed by ‘‘the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb, without biemish and with- out spot.” Again, in I John, i, “If we walk in the Jight a5 He is in the light, we have fellowship obe with another, and the blood of Jesuas Christ His son cleanseth us from all sin.” Also in Colossians, L., 19 and 20: “Foritpleaseth the Father that fn Him should all fullness dwell, and haviog made_peace through the blood of the cross by Him to reconcile all things unto Himself.” "In Ephesians, i.,17: *In ‘whom we bave redemption through’ His blood, the forgiveness of Sin according to the riches of et Christ alsosaid when He was on te earth, as in John, Vi, 5% and 36, Whoso eateth My flesh and drinketh My blood hath eternal life, and [ veill raise him up at the last day; for My flesh is meat indeed and My blood is” drink indecd.” And again we find in Acts xx., 25, we are told to take heed to feed the church * which He hath purchased with His own blood.” How, then, can Mr. Herford say that forgiveness of sins and salvation is unpurchased by Christ¢ How can he object to “ shelter behind the blood” when the Bible is full of it, and that isthconly where- can be saved? It comes right down to E lsw;oint: Will you believe God or the Deyil? When the Holy Spirit’s power is being felt most and sinners are turning to Christ for sal- vation, then the devil works the hardest. So it is mow, sinner. Are you sure you arc one of those (Rey- elations, vii., 14) % who haye washed their robes white in the blood of the Lamb™{ Have you said, will you now say: (Revelations i., 5 and 6) + Unto Him that loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and hath made us Kings and priests to God, to Him be "glory and dominion forever, amen 7 May you, as you read this, truly say: * Justas I am, without one plea, But that Thy blood was shed for me, And that Thou bid’st me come to Thee, Ob, Lamb of God, I come.” X IS IT NEEDED? 4 WOMAN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION. To the Editor of The Tribune. Cnicaco, Nov. 3.—Go to the Hospital and see the many suflering homeless women. Go to the cheap boarding-houses and hear the sad tales of fruitless efforts to obtain even a liveli- hood. Go in to dn intelligence office some Monday morning, and see the many unemployed women, intelligent and ignorant, all crowded to- gether, almost Ifke beggars waiting for their turn to come, and waiting, perhrps, all day in Jan, snd. Sou will ansver me embatically es. ‘Who are these women? Are theythe drndges of the city? Some of them are, and some of them are not. Some of them have had pleas- ant homes and kind {riends, but the hour of ad- versity has come unecxpectedly, and they, alas! unorepared, are driven, as it were, to do some- thing. Like most of our American women, they have no trade, their cducation has been neg- leeted (for what need of an cducation has a wo- ‘man?), they can do no one thing well, and they go out in quest of anything they can get to do. Others having superior talents, perbaps, and an education hardly earncd, are obliged, for the want of some friendly hand to help them to a place or means to execute their own plans, to aceept situations unworthy of them; while there are still another class of unprotected ones per- haps without a kind mother to encourage them, or instruct them in any department of industry, having almost grown up in the street, who wander about from place to_place, and yield to the influences surrounding them in the hour of despair, gnd thus being driven to a life of shame. What a mighty work for woman, and who else but o woman candoit? Not as it is often done, alas, and therefore has incvitably proved to be a failure by treating the. poor deluded ones as criwinals, but withthatlove which more than in any other work is' needed there: the love of Chirist as He spoke to the woman in the temple, not as a judge, although who more than He had o right to judge, but as one who, though without sin, yet pardoned the sinner. But, says some one, is the Woman’s Christfan Association meant to be areform club? I'would answer, we mean it to be & band of proying women, who are ready to reach out a helping band to whoever they can, and sharing some comforts if need be to make others comfortable for their sake and for the Master’s. ‘There are a thousand. ways in which women can help women if they are only willing to be used, and makc one united effort to accomplish the work. We may do good by individual effort, but there are no means so eflicient as con- centrated effort. *in unity is strength,” says some one, and says it truly. Why can we not Bave one here? Other cities have them. They, too, have their church societies and temperance clabs, yet they find a work that can only be accomplished in this way. Over fifty Women’s Christian Associations are sustained im the different cities in the United States. Cinnot Chicago sustain one, this great centre, the Queen City of the West, with all her enterpris- ing, intelligent, and praying people? have only to add, ask your missionaries and pastors who visit among the neglected homes, and hear the sad tales of discouraged ones, if ‘we do not need such an association’ which will provide a place for healthful social enjoyment, clevating associations, and at the same time ex- ert a religious influence over them, as has been said of the Y. M. C. A. Leaving the matter for your calm considera- tion, I will hope for an expression from the Christian workers of this city favorable to this movement, ipmyim: that God will impress us all with its importance, and that we may have the hearty co-operation of both the clergy and laymen, CHRISTINE. WICLIF’S BIBLE. SOME OF ITS PECULIARITIES, The Churchman. Among the words used by Wiclif in his trans- Iation of the Bible are ‘““wrastle,” for wrestle; “sich,” for such; ‘‘axe,” for ask; *susteren,” for sisters; and “bretheren,” for brethren. These words illustrate the fact that the vocab- ulary of the common people and the ignorant changes more slowly than that of the more learned classes. They belong to a considerable list of words that have fallen into desuetude, sofaras the best literary style is concerned, but which are still heard in the speech of the uncultivated or of those addicted to slang. The Irishman who * axes” questions httle thinks that he is using a word that is found in Wiclif’s Bible and in Chaucer’s poe- try. Nordid Artemus Ward, and the like hu- morists, suspect that they were not original ‘when they spoke and wrote of ‘“sisteren” and ““bretheren.” The question has lately been asked in the pub- lic prints, * What is the meaning of Jean Inge- low’s title, * A Raven in 2 White Chine®” The word *chine " appears to be a favorite with that author, who has another poem entitled A Cot- tagein a Chine.” Among other places this word is fouundin Widif at Sol. Song ii., 14, where we read of “my culver [dove] in the holis [holes] of the ston, in the chyne of a ston wal.” A “chine” isarent, a fissure, and the large openings in the chalk cliffs of England are so g;.lled to-day. Miss Ingelow describes one us: Ieaw, when I looked up, on either hand, A pale, high chalk cliff, reared aloft in white; A narrowing rent soon closed toward the land— Toward the sea, an oben yawning bight. Chine, the backbone, is a word of entirely dif- ferent Orfiiu, and comes from the Latin spina (spine), tlirough the French cpine, thorn, and echine, backbone. It may be, however, that as the verb “to cleave™ conveys both the idea of separating and clinging together, so * chine may meau both 8 reut that divides and s ridge that separates. Dryden says: He thng in his day did chine the long-ribb'd Apen- nine. The word ““mawmet " is often used where our version reads “idol.” It is the same that is used by Shakspeare in two places in the sense of f‘l}p}let or doll. In the first part of King Henry e Act II., Sceve 3, Hotspur exclaims tohis I care not for thee, Kate; this is no world To play with mammets and to tilt with lipe. Long before cither Shakspeare or ‘Wiclif, Chaucer’s Parson, speaking of the sin of avarice, had said: ¢ Certes the sin of mawmetrie is the tirst that God defended in the ten command- ments.” This use of “defend” fu the sense of prohibit is common also a Wiclif, who gives us at Numbers xi., 23, “My lord, Mogses, defend him.” Two versions of the origin of the word Dawmet™ are given. Itisa corruption of Mahomet,” whost image was widely distribu- - ted during 'the middle ages. The mame was casilyapplied to any image or idol, and * ma- hometerie” or % mawmetric” became *idola- trie.”” Others say that the sin of idolatry was, in common with “most other sins, attributed to the false prophet, and that from this fact his name became the synonym of idol. This is, it must be confessed, not an _entirely reasonable :zpothz]sis, s“fi% K{letg worship was unknown and pressly prohibited among g h.mn)"eg- g the followers of RELIGION AT HARVARD. A CURIOUS MIXTURE. . New York Ouserver. The governing . boards, its Corporation, its Oversecrs, its Professors, are composed of men of most diverse views regarding religion, Chris- tianity, theology, and philosophy. Mr. Emer- son, for instance, comes down from Concord on a Wednesday momning 0 a meeting of the Overscers to oppose Mr. Cabot’s motion for the discontinuance of morning pravers; and Phillips Brooks, with his usual impetuosity, throws a good deal of striking common sense into the philosophy of the * Concord Dreamer.” James Freeman Clarke’s protest azainst the movement for the abolition of required attendance at church, is ably seconded by his orthodox brother, the Rev. Alexander McKenzie, and is supported by hislegal brother of Episcopal aflin- itles, R. H. Dana, Jr.. The Adamses and the Hoars, the Sewells and the Wymans, the Paric mans and the Thayers—these, and other gentle- sz?;n o‘mfi dxislgxl:u' opinions bgedznrd % re- lgion, compose the governing bodies of ‘the The bundred Professors and tutors exhibit the similar varieties. Dr. Peabody, honored alike by Unitarians and_the Congregationalists, sits in ty meetings by the sidefof his brother Professor of rather liberal tendencies, Jame Russell Lowell. Prof. Asa Gray, Benjamin Plerce, and Prof. Palmer, agraduate of An lover, are colleagues of Charles Eliot Norton, Prof. Henry Adams (editor of the North American ZReview), and Prof. Sae’hodu, who Is as filial to his Greek reiigion as he ir to his Greek tonwrue. Fourteen per cent of the students at Harvard are Unitarians, 12 Ser cent Congregationalists, and betwecen 11 and 12 per cent are Episcopali- ans. Considering the “Congregationalists, the Episcopalians, the Methodists, the Baptists, the Lutherans, aud him whose * religious Prclcr— ence” ‘Christianity alone expresses,’’ as be- longing to evangelical denominations, we find that about 30 per cent of the students have evangelical views regarding religion, which is double the number of those of Unitarian tend- encies. Both Unitarians and evaagelical men are together equal to those who have no “?ref» erence fn religion; ™ since most of those “not eard from* would have reported that they had nope. : Judged by the proportions in the last class duated at Yale, 34 per cent of the students e Congregational preferences, 16 grfiisuapnl 13 Presbyterian, 8 Baptist, 2 Methodist, and about 16 per cent_bave neither religion or de- nominational preferences. Quakers, Universa- lists, Jews, Catholics, Pantheists, and Deists, make up the remainder. RELIGIOUS MISCELLANY. THE CHURCH IN GENERAL. N It is estimated that the number of Friends throughout the worla amounts to not more than 80,000, of whom nearly 50,000 are in America. There has been o steady decrease of Friends during the last year, and the society has under- gone great changes. The Philadelphia Yearly Meeting, which used to embrace nearly all the Quakersin the country, has now 3,500. The largest number are found in Indiana, where there are over 16,000, Another man has been found in London whose crime is that he has too much faith. His child had scarlet fever, and he refused to call a phy- sician, but went down on his knees and asked the Lord to cure the boy. The Judge said that the prayer was undoubtedly a good one, but that it ought to have been accompanicd with chamomile tea. He then sentenced the crimi- nal to three months’ hard labor, declaring that it was not because he prayed, but because he did not practice. . A Virginia Baptist predicts that, if the de- ‘pomination increases as rapidly during the next 100 years as it has in the past century, it will number 20,000,000 at _the next Centennial. A New York brother, with a more prcflhalic eye and superfor mathematical powers, shows that, in the same ratio of increase, there would be 114,299,070 Baptists in the United States in 1976, and that, in the ratio of increase otq&o&fihfiun, there will be here at that time 450,000,000 of ‘people, 52 per cent of whom will be Baptists. However, our contemporary will be satisfied if there are 225,000,000 of people and 50,000,000 of them Baptists in 1976, In a Connecticut village a ehurch member bad 2 grudge against his pastor. Instead of | satis{ying it 1n the ordinary way, by bringing a’ libel suit’ Drfe'.tim! up o scandal, he took & novel way of his own. At the evening prayer- memhfis freedom was given to all who wanted to speak, and the brother improved the opImr- tunity, not by making angry or scurrilous har- angues, but by quoting passage after passage from the Bible descriptive of the peculiarities of the pastor. At meeting after meeting, with voice and manner as meek as those of Moses at his meekest, hewould recite these passages, with not a word of comment, but throwing all the comment into the modulation of his voice and the expression of his countenance. He finally got even with the minister, who, wor- ricd out of 2ll patience, handed in resigna- tion. The ceurch is now vacant, and-will be a promising field of labor for any clergyman, old or gouug whose spiritual hide is as repellant as alligator leather. There wasadoubleservicein a Methodist church at Nottingham, Manitobs, on a recent Sunday. A c*\lmel had divided the congregation, and cach party claimed to be dominant. Each had called a new minister, and the two clergymen were on hand to begin theirlabors. The first to arrive took possession of the pulpit, and the other sat benind the chancel rail. The man in the pulpit gave out a hymn, the other man gave out another, and both were sung confusedly by the rival sections of the assembly. Then the man behind the railing started off on his ser- mon, and the other began to read a chapter of Scripture. When the reading was over, and it was plain the preaching was going to last much Ionger, the partisans of the reader sang another hymp with a loud organ accompaniment. The musical noise drowned the voice of the clergy- man in the pulpit, but when it was over he was found to be preaching right along, as though nothing unusnal had happened. The clergyman in the chancel, less coo , was unable to 8x his thougnts oun a discourse, and so remained silent and beaten. At the close of this extraordinary scene a deacon explained that it bad been en- acted “ under legal advice, and to further the cause of Christ.”"—Christian Index. The indications already given point to a re- vival of more wonderful power this winter than that which swept over the land last winter. Already at Mn(fmucmvme, N. C., forty have sought the Lord; at Gilberton, Pa., thirtyfour Dave been received on probation during the past two weeks, and the Methodist church altar continues to be crowded with penitents every night. At Cross Rogds Methodist Episcopal Churgk, near Baltimore, eighty-three Lave pro- fessed conversion; at Annapolis Neck, Md., twenty-one have been converted and others are seckine; at Franklin, W. Va., twelve; at several charges in_the Virginia Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, 556 conver- sions are reported. In churches of the North Carolina Conference Methodist ~ Episcopal Church South, 732 conversions; in Holston Conference churches, 223; in Tennessce Con- ference Church South, 1,640; in North Gem’%ia Conference, 100; in Louisville Conference, 117; in Columbia, thirty conversions. About a dozen have been’ converted in St. Paul’s Mcthodist Episcopal Church (South), Baltimore, and the work increases in interest. In Los Anéeles six have been added to the Methodist Episcopal church recently. In_the Mississippi Conference Churches (South), 879; con- ‘versions and accessions to the Methodists are re- pos ; in Alabama Conference churches (South), 149; and in Lonisians Conference, twenty-four. This makes an aggregate of 4,377 converts added to the churches sface the fall campaign of this year opened. Not a bad begin- ning for 1676-'77. " * PERSONAL., Father Keane, of Washington, is named as likely to be the future Bishop of Richmond, Va. The Rev. E. C. Towne, who has been preach- ing to the Unitarian Church in East Marshfield, Mass., is going to London to take pastoral charge of a congregation in that city. The Rev. Green Clay Smith, the Prohibition candidate for President of the United States, has resigned the care of the Baptist Church at Frankfort, Ky., and goes to Louisville to edit the Riverside Weekly. Dr. Farrar, Master of Marlborough College and chaplain in ordinary to Queen Victoria, has written a life of Clrist, in which he accounts for the ovening of graves and the resurrection of the dead about the time of Christ’s crucifixion by charging it to the heated imagination of the Jews, 10 whom it scemed us if the spirits of the dead filled the air, who appearcd after Christ had risen to linger in the Holy City.. In no other way, he tninks, can the allusion of Mat- thew to this event be explained. ‘The Rev. Dr. Lorimer has completed the third year of his pastorate at Tremont Temple, Bos- ton. During this time ‘518 members have united with the church. The church is cele- brated for the social way in which the members keep up cach other’s acquaintance. On arecent evening 200 of the young men of the church were gathered for a tes-mecting and an evening of pleasant entertainment. This would have been better, perhaps, had 200 young women also been present; still we hope the young men en- joyed it. Dr. Cuyler, in lecturing to the students at Andover on *Pulpit eloquence,”” gave them a little of his own experience, which may be val- uable to voung preachers ovutside of “Andover. He said thiat during 2 ministry of thirty years he had been laid aside by sickness for only two Sundays. He gives three rules for the uttain- ‘ment of such uniform good bealth. | First, take abundance of sleep. Second, use no stimulants or tobacco. Third, mever tomek a sermon on Saturday night. The brethren who spend ncar- 1y all Saturday night in writing thelr Sunday sermon, and who work in a2n atmosphere so thick with tobacco smoke that their sermon manuscript smells like an old pipe, should take a wholesome hint from the Doctor’s experience.

Arguments of the Counsel o Prosecution and Defense. It Is Believed the Committee Wip . Recommend that Hickey Go. After seven days and nights of arduous tofy the Police Committee finished their pablic fn- vestigation of the charges against Supt. Hicky yesterday afterroon, and all that remains for them now to do is to agree upon the report they shall present to the Councll. Those Who haye closely watched the inquiry are convinced that four of the members will unite in a report to the effect that Mr. Hickey’s removal {s necded for the good of the Department, and that s mf. nority report will be sizned by Ald. Callerton expressing confidence in the ability and integri- ty of the Chief, and declaring that the Police Department will not be benefited or improvea by his deposition. The matter will then rest with the Council and Mayor Heath. As regards the former, it is stated on plausible authority that & number of the new members favor 3 change, and will accordingly vote for the agop- tion of the majority report; while, 8s to the sosician of the latter, no oue hss yet foundouy - efinitely how his Honor stands, but it is safe to say thag he will concur in the action of 8 ma- jority of the local Government. ‘The proceedings vesterday were comparative- 1y dull and uninteresting. All the evidence was in Friday night, and the Committee only con- vened again to listen to the arguments of conn- sel on both sides. Both specches were able digests of the evidence, but presented little that needed reproduction.

The Chairman remarked that it would require a two-thirds vote to suspend the_rules, witnout which no one could come and address the Coun- Mr. Bonfield said if the Committee would re- port in favor of their right to address the €ona- cil, they would stand the risk of not securing a. two-thirds vote. ‘The Chairman said there was no doubt, if the Eommncwde 80 reported, that the privilege would e granted.

It will be remembered that Mr. Trude remarked that if a certain course was adhered to, he would have to bring in evidence to the effect that Mr. Bonfield or some of his family had been indicted, and that Mr. Bonfield retorted that he would then un- dertake to prove that Mr. Trude bad been in- dicted and also in jail. This remark, connsel said, was simply based on a rumor in the street, and he had no reason to believe that it was cor- rect. Mr. Bonfield went on to say that the in- vestigation had heen a constant surprise to him and every legal gentleman who had followed the evidence. fu making this statement he did not wish to reflect on the Committee, but they had departed from all precedent, and allowed hearsay testimony to be taken which wonld not stand in any court of law. One effect of this would be to make a great many citizens Who had believed in the honesty and effidency of his client believe that the charges were true, because, owing to abbreviation, rumors had ap- peared in_the newspapers as facts. Counsel then made an exhaustive review of tne evidence taken in support of the es, pointing out the weak points, and charging that the whole prosecution was a malicious attempt to break down the reputation of Supt. Hickey. ‘With regard to the testimony of Ald. White, he said that the public knew that if any such ring existed for the division of the proceeds of stolen property that witness would be one of the chief ringsters. In adverting to the Webster feature of the case, he said there was nothing to prove that the man was a thief or avery bad character; he was simply a natural detective with a human affection for money. The fact that the articles of agreement bad not been recorded amounted to nothing; it was the custom among old set- tlers not to record such instruments, and no suspicion ought to attach to the circumstance that an jgnorant negro had neglected a formality of this kind. - There was nothing for the fore- going insinuation to rest upon. Witnesses in rebuttal had sworn to the Signatures, and there was nothing in the circumstances surrounding the matter that justified the belief that the transaction was anything but genuine and law- ful. Besides, according to law, the unrecorded articles were just as good as if they haod been recorded. MR. TRUDE followed for the prosecution. He began by denying the cnant: that he was one of a gang of conspirators working to depose Hickey and rnin his reputation. It mattered not whe made the charges; it was the duty of the Committee to ascertain whether such™ charges were trae or {alse. He contended that the es made in the Post had been fully proved, aud that the testimony introduced on the other side hod not shaken them in the least. With reference to Webster it had been stated by the witnesses with absolute nmnim(g that "his house was a fence for thieves, and that it was in every sense an infamous place—a very hot-house of crime. From his side of the house they had not inflicted _on the Committee the evidence of a single gimbler or thief. Those characters had appeared for the defense, and why? Becausc they were afraid that-the tall, gaont form that once walked the streets with police authority should return and assume the sceptre of power. Webster wass Fagin, o very Jonathan Wild, abird of el omen, a vulture feeding and fattening on the body of official corruption, and under the shadow of his wing ugme Wwas rampant, and thieves heid swn.y. And yet this man was in the confidence of and held dominion in the office of the Chief of Police! The articles of agreement were frauds and an jnsult to the intelligence of the Committee.
