We have been requested to print the follow- ing correspondence, In doing so we beg to say unat,the statement which led to it was commun- icated oy such authority that we were not at liberty to doubt it, The statement was as fol- lows: Mr, Moody wants the Woman's Christian Tem- perunce Cuiun w change its name to the Woman's Evangelical Temperance Union, Yt 1s said that when the ladies asked, ** Why?” he replied, **So xs to get nd of your Uniturian and. Universalist members," ‘* Dut that will rule out Mrs. Liver- more, our President,” said they. ‘* Well, rule her out,” was the response; **she isn’t a'Chris- tian.” The answer to this was given in the following letter from Mrs. Muody, which we tirst obsery- ed in one of our New York exchanges: NoatTurie.y, Mass., June 26 ofthe 25th, with clipping trom paper, has been re- ceived, and my busyand asks we to answer for lim. "As 1 heard the conversauon from whica I eappose the statement is made, J um the Letter able to say thot tue article misrepresents what Mr. Riosuy said. He dic not sav at any time that Mrs, Livermore is not 2 Christian, Furthermore, Mr. Movdy never sugested that the uawe of the Woman's Christian Vemperance Union be chanzed to the: S*Woman's Evzngelical ‘Temperance Union.” The thought had never suggested itself, Yohim, and your el‘pying 13 the first time the idea’ has come belore him.

LAKE BLUFF. + YESTERDAY'S SERVICES AT THE CAMP-MEETING. Yesterday was“ Michigan day ” at the Lake Bluff temperance camp-meeting, and the morn- ing meeting was accordingly presided over by Mrs. Jane ¥M. Geddes, Vice-President of the National Woman’s Christian Temperance Union, of Adrinn, Mich. The exercises were begua by singing, “I need Thee every hour,” “ Hallelu- ioh, "tis done,” and ‘ Still there's more to Iol- low,” after whi Mrs. Geddes read from I. Corinthians, Chap. 3; also some selections from Ecclesiasties. The Rev. Moses Smith then of- fered prayer for the success of the work. Dr. Reynolds announced that speakers would be Maited to fitteen minutes, and that the pro- gramme would be strictly carried ont. Mrs. Geddes then introduced Mrs. Muses Smith, of Jazksou, Mich.; whom she said she haa known more than twenty years asa sincere Christian. Mrs. Smith said that a great work had been Gone in Michigan, for which they were reatiy tuankful. She had been asked what was the secret of Dr. Reynolas’ success, and answered va it Ae hfs entire reliance upon God. Let them be faithful unto death, give beim a crown of life. Haat God prowl ‘old the Fort” "was next sung, after whic Mr. D. G. Garnsey, of Grand Haven, eaid tag he was somewhat depressed at. seeing such a small congregation. He claimed to speak for three thousand men and women who wear the red and white ribbons respectively. Uutortu- nately he could not report everything as being favorable in his ‘section, One-third of the ine habitants of the city were Hollanders, and, al- though an excellent body of citizens, they could not be got to take an interest in the temperance work. Even their pastors held that these Sunday services were liable to interfere wita those of the churches, and declined to co-operate. At Spring Lake they had 2 club of 80, and at_Muskezon 1,400 men had signed the pledge. But the same difli- culty was found there—the Christian people aud those who were not church members differing 28 to the best means to be used. Ou the 4th ef July some had gone astray, but most of these had returned and arain donued the red ribbon. At Grand Haven the number of saloons had been reduced one-half during tne year, only thirteen being now licensed. i ig away the demand for liquor, and thus CEOWDING OUT THE SALOON-KEEPERS. Mrs, B. B. Hudson, of Detroit, said ukat in Michigan the number of temperance unions bad quadrupled in the last six menths, and they now had over 100 local Women’s Gospel Tein- erance Associations. . The question was as to uw they could induce their brethren of the Re- dora Clitbs. to believe fers their revenue from nt perance was ouly oF epping-s their becoming Chiistiage, © W“Ppine stone to Mr. Nicholas Plough, Presi@ent of the Albion Reformed Cluy, rei embarrassed at bis associa- tion with ministers of the Gospel, for during the past twenty years he bad been the com- panion of the lower classes who frequent suloous. But he felt better and huppier since he had reformed, and cujoved greatly the 80 ciety of Christian men aud women. He thougtit oue grest cause of harm was the -“svcial giass,” und he hoped that le migit live “long enough, and do such service for the cause, 3 to wipe out the sin Which he had committed in hastening the death of aman by means of strong drink. ‘This uc- curred through treating bim to whisky, of whieh | he partook to excess, 2nd trom the: effects of which he died during the night. The speaker disapproved of dominues,. checkers, backgam- mon, and dice in the Reform Clubs, and. pro- posed to send every one taState Prison who al- lowed a game of chance to be played iu his house. He bad been a steady sirinker for twenty years, at the rate of about ten drinks per day, bad tried to break off by taking cider and beer instead of rum, but had tailed over and in. Finally, he signed the pledge three months 2zo,and had kept it fathiully., Dr. Reynolds wished to say a 1ew words about games of chance. He had no liking for cards or uther games, and did not even care for croquet. He was dead set against billiards and cards. But chess, checkers, backguiumon, and dum- inves were played in very many of the Christian famities and by ministers of reli It would be well if all these could be gotten rid of, but everything could not be accomplisked at once. Men taken from the gutter could not be expected to become whole tnen without any delay. Many of them could not read, and had no means ul amusement, and it Was surely better that a man should sit down in a dub-room, clean and decentiin his beaavivr, to play a game of dominves, thau to gamble in asaloon lor rum. [Applause.] M133 CLEVELAND, OF PONTIAC, said that the Legislature of Michigan had. passed a law forbidding tie sale of liquor in the State on election day, and this tuey considered as one great gain. She considered the ‘red- ribbon ” as a preat moral agent, and hoped that mothers would teach their children that moral courage was the highest form of bravery. A verse of “t Yield not to temptation ” having Deen sung, the Rey. hoses Smith, of Detroit, was introduced as being one of the leading ‘workers in Michizan. He held that the primal necessity for work was a Christian joundation on-which to build. Men became better when they tried to help others, and this was a great Ieature of tue movement. They do not workin theirown strength, but in that of Almighty God. The meeting then closed by singing the Doxology. * The heat interfered somewhat with the at- tendance at the afternoon meeting, and the audience was small. The proceedings were opened with singing, after which Mrs. L. M. Boies, of Grand Kapids, read from the Psalms. ‘The Rev. Mr. Caldwell ledin prayer, and the audience sang “Jesus loves me.” Dr. Reynoids then introduced Mrs. J. M. Geddes as being the lady who had induced him to come to Michigan, pee had madcall his appointments in that State. All this she had done without money and with- out price, and tober the people of Michigan were indebted under God for the good which had been effected. Mrs. Geddes said that they had not only had reform in Michigan, but revolution, both in puotic opinion and in the churches. ' She had studied the map of that State so intently in or- der to make appointments tor the mectings that she could see it with her eyes shut.- Their jails and asylums had been thinned out since the temperance movement was started, and thou- sands aye been saved from sin. If Michigan had prospered beyoud her sister States, it was because her women had prayed and worked earnestly. “What shall-the barvest be?’ came next, the audience joining in the chorus. Mrs, Boies pointed out tuenecessity for union among all temperance peopic. Without the love of God in their hearts they could do noth- ing, and they must goto Him for strength. She was willing to love the saloon-keeper as an in- dividual sinner, who would have to face the judgment-seat. But as men envaged in N INIQUITOUS BUSINESS, detrimental. to both body and soul, they were entitled to no compassion. The pusiness by which they lived made them God’s enemfés, foes to society and tue Christian Church. It was important that children should be taught that the vending of poison in the shape of intoxicating liquors was not a Jezitimate business. The speaker com- pared the sale of licenses to keep saloons to the gale of indulgences as practiced in the Middle Ages, and declared that the saloon-keepers had no rights but to be swept out ot existe! Dr. Reynolds announced that he had just re- ceived a communication to the effect that the Board of Supervisors of Lake County had re- fused to grant any licenses this year for saluons, The news was received with éuthusiasm, and the audience joined in singing the doxology. Mr. J. F. Lindscott, a reformed drunkard, was the next speaker. He had killed his moth- er by his profligacy, and had been bunted down by outraged justice, but he proposed to conse- crate biinselé to the good work. They had closed up many_ of the saloons in Grand Kap- ids, and jt took a bold man now to enter asaloon there to get his grog. All of this has been brought about by tlie Women’s Christian Temperance Union, and Dr. Reynolds was only an iustrument in the hands of God. He prophe- sied the ultimate anuihilation of the whisky trattic, and claimed that half a million men be- Jonged to temperance orzanizations in this country. He believed that in time to come a constitutional amendment forbidding the man- uulacture of intoxicating drink entirely would be opted. 2 Miss M. B. Holyoke sang “Some Mother's id? and was inuch applauded. Che Rev. Dr. Gurney drew an affecting picture of drunkard, and the fate which awaited him. Saloone were manufactories of moral _maduess and breathing-holes of heil. There were half amillion habitual drunkards in the Kepublic, carrying ruin and destruction into as many families. God would avenge His elect if they cried unto Him, and the more loudly they cried the more speedily would God’s’ vengeance light upon the accursed tratlic. He would rather thut his son or daughter should be murdered in cold bloud on bis own door- step than that they should become drunkards.

THE MORRISITES. A BRANCH OF MORMONDOM, WHICH BELIEVES IN 44,000 cops. rom the Globe-Dersecrat. Alexander Dow’s history is a very singular one. He was born in the City of Sterling, Scot- Jand, in the year 1797, and: is consequently in the Sist year of his age. He was born of Jewish parents. “According to -his opinion all the Scotch Highlanders are of Jewish lineage, as a proof which he claims that Joseph's coat of many colors was nothing more than the Scotch plaid, the use of ‘which dates back to the most ancientdays. In the old country Mr. Dow fol- lowed the occupation of copper and tin stnith, to which trade he served an apprenticeship of seven years. He isthe oldest gasfitter livins. He was employcd to fit up a cotton factury at Deanstown, in verthshire, Scotland, in the year ISl4, At that time there was no gas cither in Edinburg or Glasgow, and the Perthshire fac- tory manufactured its own gas. In those days the conducting. pipes for gas were made of tin almost entirely, though iron was coming into use in some places. He describes the fix- tures of that dav as being very rade and simple, and bearing little resemblance to,the improved and perfected coutrivances now in common use. * In 1842, being then 45 years of age, he was converted to the Mormon doctrines by the preaching of William McFarlan, a missjonary of the Church of Latter-Day Saints. Dow st once became an. enthusiastic devotee ot the new creed, and for several rs preached it to such of his neighbors as would hear. in 1850 he left his native country for America, waking his way to St. Louis, where he established himself in the gas-fittine business on Market street, near Fifth. The site of the building iu which he- pursued his calling is now covered with a much more pretentious struc ture than it had then, © says that he came to America, not in search of gold or niches, but to enloy the benefits of religious liberty, and to find a better field for the prop- agation of his faith. After living in St. Louis six years, aud doivg a thriving business ail the time-he struck out for the promised lund of Utab, to join the hosts of Mormondom, He lived. in comparative quiet there until the appearan:e ot Joseph Morris, the true prophet, the followers of whom, Vow beingone, Brigham Young drove into the wilderness, where th remained three they considered the int! tural revelations. The hardships aud persecu- tions imposed upon the Morrisiles in Idaho, Dew aliexes, were in fultiihnent of tne twellth chapter of Revelations: “ And the dragon was Wroth with the woman, and went to make war wath the rempant of her seed, which keep the commandments of the Lord, and have the testi- mony of Jesus Christ.” The woman he con- siders the Morrigite Church, and the dragon is Satan, who persecuted the true believers at Soda Springs. On being asked to state the doctrinal basis of the Morrisite creed, Mr. Dow produced a tin box from which he drew a piece of linen canvas about two feet square, which he unfolded with great care aud smoothed out on the table. On the surtace of this canvas were represented a serics of concentric circles, the smallest being only about three itches in diameter, and having in the ceutre a large circular red spot, repre- sented tobe tue sun, ‘The circles described the orbits of the 144,000 worlds that revolve around the sun, the entire surface of .the circles veing dotted with worlds in round spots of red ink, “Worlds inust grow,” said Mr. Dow, and he pointed out several Spots of various sizes all advancing toward a common ceatre, those near- est the centre being tho largest, mavy of whieh had already react: the ‘limits of” their pre- scribed orbits. Below ‘the largest circle a per- dendicular fine had been drawn, and at various puints along this live of progression several worlds were represented, one of them being the earth, which the reporter noticed was patnt- ed black. while all_the others, with one excep- tion, were red. ‘The black color is intended to represent the iniquity of the carth, and the other world, which you see to the right, in an isolated position, and which is also painted black, is hell.” Near the carth was pointed out auother world, said to be the habitation of “‘un- used. spirits,” that’ is, spirits who have never one service by animating human bodics. From the inhabitants of this world Adam supplies the bodies of those born on the carth with spirits. Above all these worlds were printed, in black letters, the words, “Plummet Zech, iy.,x.,” and Mr. Dow cxplained that the au- thority for and philosophy of the device were found in the tenth verse of the fourth chapter of Zechariah, which reads* “For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice ana see the plum- met in the hands of Zerubbabel with thuse seven; they are the eyes of the Lord, whichrur to and fro through the whole earth.” Said Dr. Dow: “In the beginning it is be- lieved that there were, and still continue to de, created good and evil spirits. The devil is the evil creator, while God is the righteous’ cre- ator—one sends forth bad and the other good spirits. Cain was the first evil spirit begotten by Satan of Eve. All Cain’s descendants are of the devil,.and in the land of Moab he reared a race of devils, whose blood still courses in the veins of the living.” As an evidence of a plurality of gods, the re- porter was referred to the xvii. Peal, eighth verse: — ** Confounded be all they that worship graven images, that boast themselves of idols ; worship him all ye gods!” And again in the Ixxxvil. Psalm: ‘1 have said ‘ve are gods;? and all of ye are children of the Most High.’ The foliowing is from the Millennial Star, yolume xiv., and is Joseph Smith's prophecy of the coming of Morris, who is the “seventh angel?’ referred to iu Scripture, Smith himself being the sixth: ‘Thus saith the Lord God of Hosts, saith a still small voice, that whispereth through and pierceth all things, and oftentimes makes my bones to quake while it maketh nini- fest, saving, It shall come to pass that {, the Lord God, will send one mighty and strong, holding the scestre of power in his hands, clothed with a licht for a covering, whose mouth shall utter words, eternal words, while his bowels shall be a fountain of truth, to set in order the house of God.” + The authority for placing the number of gods at one hundred and forty-four thousand is found in Revelations, chapter x ‘verse 1; And J looked, and lo, a lamb stood on the Mount Sion, and with him a hundred, forty and four thousand, having His Father’sname written in their foreheads.’” Besides their 144,000 gods, the Morrisites also believe in the Trinity. On’ embracing the re- jigion converts are baptized by’ immersion. Those that are converted to the faith believe that they have the power, in the name of the Lord, to cast out devils, and heal the sick. Mr. Dow assured the reporter that in the name of the Lord he had been both the object and the instrument of miraculous cures in various cases of dangerous illness. As before noticed, the number of worlds corresponds to: the nuiber of gods, each. god being intrusted witn the care of a particular world, All of these gods are under te authority of a supreme God, to whom the prayers of human beings should be directed as ‘God the Father.” The church service is very much hke that of the ordinary Protestant Church, consisting of psalms, prayers, and an gddress from the minister upon some Biblical topic. ‘The Morrisites west of the Missouri River are now gathering at Walla Walla, Weshington Ter- ritory, preparatory toa pilgrimage to Jackson County, Mo., where they will await the comin; of Christ. The exact date of the Savior’s a yent bas not yet been fixed, but the Morrisites believe it is near at hand, and that they will shurtly receive a sign that will enable them to desizuate the time. In no event, they argue, will His coming be delayed beyond this genera- tion. Mr. Dow has some strange delusions, which are supposed to be common to all Morrisites. He declares that he has met Christ face to face, and often heard Him speak. Mr. Dow has not. shown his zcal by words alone, but by the ex- penditure of considerable sums of moncy in de- Yending the fatth. Lifs Utah adventures cost him several thousand doilars. He was a liberal contributor to the fund for purchasing arms for defense azamst the attacks of Brigham Young. When he was forced tu leave the Territory he owned a house in Salt Lake City valued at $4,000, which he was obliged to sacrifice for a cent, of New York. trifling sum. He says he regrets none of these lo however, as he considers them a trial of his faith, and is willing to incur even death it- self in proving the truth of Mormonism, and that Joseph Morris was indeed the “ seventh angel ” and true prophet. Mr. Dow has in his possession the manuscript of several * revela- tions? made by Morris, some explanatory of certain Scriptural passages, and others of a prophetic nature, one of the latter being inter- preted to have a direct reference to the present European war. LAYING ON OF HANDS. SRITICISM OF DR. PRIME’3 COUNCIL SPEECH, To the Editor of The Tribune. Logansport, Ind., July 9.—In Tus Trmone of the 4th appears a paper from Dr. Prime, read before the “Pan-Presbyterian” Council at Edin- burg. Init he says: ‘The foundation of tho Church whose General Council is now convencd in this historic city, was laid in the first century of the Christian era." In prof he quotes I. Tin., iv.,14; ‘Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophesy, with the laying on of the hands, of the Presbytery.”* Now, the Doctor, like many others, takes a text to prove what other texts disprove, cither ig- norant of the evidence unfavorable to them, or hoping others to be su. The Doctor takes the text that only proves that Presbyters laid hands on Timothy, i. ¢ in ordination,—which no one denies,—as proof of the assumption that Pres- byters alone may ordain, and did ordain; con- sequently the early Church was Presbyterian in form. The Doctor gives only part of the truth. St. Paul says in 11. Tiu., i, 62. Wherefore £ put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the sift cf God which is in thee by the. putting on Of my bands.” This shows who conferred the tft, by the imposition of hands in ordination, and disposes of the Doctor's claim. The Doctor gives statistics of ten different Presbyterian Churches, onc of them “not Cal~ yinistic.” He Goes not tell us which one of these is the one whose foundations were Slald ein the first century, thongh I never beard ‘that there was but oue Church then, or for many ages thereafter. If Dr. Prime’s claim is true, it necessitates the admission that the Presbyterian Church and the Presbyterian form of government, estab- lished by the Apostles and by direct authority ofthe Lord Jesus Christ, was soon changed, that the Presbyterian Church became Kpiscopal in form ina very short time. ‘The foundations of tne Church were strongly laid in every city, and soon conquered the world. It was the same Church, Dr. Prime tells us, whose council is now assembled in Edinbure, yet at the first General Council of the whole Churehy held at Nicea A. D. 325, there were present, we are told, more than three hun- aret ishops, gathered irom all quarters of the earth, When id that ercat missionary Church that [ees the banuer of the cross over the City of tome, whose embers did not shrink irom the fires of martyrdom, abandon the Presbyterian form and substitute the Episcopal? For when the Council was held at Nice, with the excep- tion of * heretics’? (Arians, ete.), the Church was practically one. T search the pages of church bistory. I can trace the rise and fa)) of religious controversies, the spread of the Church and the gradual de- velopment of Papal power, but uot a word do I find to explain how, ora clew can 4 discover to uuravel the mystery as to when that Church whose Council is now assembled in the historic City of Edinburg became Episcopal. sy Epis- copal I mean, of course, governed by Bishops. ‘The Roman Cacholic, the Greek Churn, the Chureh of England, and others are Episcopal; as well as the Protestant Episcopal and the A. B. Episcopal. E. J. Purpy. i A CILURCH Row. BROTHER MILLAR’S PROTEST AGAINST THE NEW UYMN BOOK—SUNG DOWN BY THE CHOIR, : From the Otago Guardian. An extraordinary scene occurred at St. An- drew's Presbyterian Church, Dunedin, und the chief actor in it-was a Mr. J. P. Millar, who ob- jected toa new hymual which had been intro- duced. Hehad previously protested, and ap- pealed.to the Presbytery, but all his objections had been dismissed 28 frivolous. On Sunday, May 6, be was preseot in the church. The pas- tor, the Rev. Mr. Gow, having conducted the previous devotional oxercises as usual in the commencement of the service, annouuced the beautiful hymn, ‘Revive Thy work, Oh Lord,” when Mr. Millar, making his way to the plat- form beside the minister, in 2 loud voice com- menced to read out the following extraordinary document: (Protest) Desevry, May 6, 1877.—Before God and in the preseace.of this congregation, 1 yolemnly protest ist the unconstitutional and ileal manner in which the English Presbyterian Hymn-Book is be- ing introduced into thie congregstion, pending the judgment of the Supreme Court of the Church on ihe appeals taken to it, and because its introduction at the instance of a swall minority of the member- sbip of this congregation will virtually prevent: many from joining in praise to God in His Own ap- pointed way. Janes P. Mintan. As the clergyman, paying no attention to the interruption, coutinued to read the hymn, Mr. Millar, tinding that his voice was no matcn for the sonorous and powerful tones of the practiced speaker, and that itwas in fact drowned, after a few sentences of his protest quietly dropped. back and allowed the minister to finish the read- ing of the Lymn. But he bad not abandoned his purpose, and was anparently. gathering up his strength to break, in before the singing. However, the precentor and choir appeared to have aroused themselves to the necessities of the occasion, and ere the minister had completed the rereading of the first two lines, when, in fact, within three words of the end the puwertul melody of thechoir purst forth an filled the chureb, the congregation joming in the strain with heart and will. Nothing daunt- ed, however, Mr. Millar, from his stand beside the minister, proceeded with great vehemence and force of lungs to deliver himself of his burden, and read the protest from beginning to end, every word beitig inaudible owing to the zest with which the people applied.themeclves to theirnew bmyn-books. Having tinisheu read- ing the paper, Mr. Millar threw it at the miuis- ter, who quictly warded it off with the buck of his hand, and it floated down to the congrega- tion, one of whom picking it up bas kindly fur- nished us with the forceoing copy. Having thus“ witnessed for the truth,” Mr. Millar retired from the platform and resumed his place ina, pew, huton a second thought arose again and retired from the church, ac- companied by ove sympathizer. GENERAL NOTES. * ‘There were seven admissions to Plymouth Church, this city, on Sunday last. The Scotch Presbyterian Church of this city received fifteen new members ou the first Sun- day in July. The Baptists will hold their third annual eamp-meeting at Martha’s Vineyard, beginning Aug, 12 and closing Aug. 19. A Methodist paper ‘announces seventy-seven camp meetings io be held in July, August, and September, the latest meeting Sept. 4. The defalcation of Dr. Bairdin the Publica- tion Fund of the Southern Presbyterian Cbureh zone i up, so far as has been ascertained, $28,- ‘The consecration of the crucifix attached to the Astor memorial in ‘Trinity Church, New York, lias created considerable gossip in Low- Church circles in that elty. ‘A proposition to allow females to be made members of the vestry of churches was, after 2 hot discussion in the Episcopal Convention of Kansas, tabled by a very close vote. The Unitarians of Hungary have elected the Rev. Joseph Ferenez as their Bishop. ‘They have now 100 churches, At the Synod which chose the new Bishop fifteen young men were ordained to the ministry. The Lutheran General Synod, South, has been invited to an interchange of delegates by the Northern General Synod. The two bodies were separated by the War. The organ of the South- ern Synod believes that body will cordially ac- cept the invitation. At the meeting of the third General Synod of the Episcopal Church of Iretand, held in Dub- lin, the Lord Primate delivered an address, in which she cxpressed his satisfaction at the Church of Ircland being free from the Roman- izing influences active in the Church of En- gland, For the first time in the course of its exist- ence, the St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Hyde Park, has paid its quarterly expenses, interest aud all, without extra contributions. The sys- tem adopted upon the entrance of Mr. Lester to the church was the eavelopecollection, which. seems to be a success. The Brahmo Somajes of Indla have been moving recently toward an ofganization of tacir forces. Recently about seventy representatives of the Somajes, or churches, held a meeting in Calcutta, and agreed to organize a Representa- tive Society. similar, probably, to the Unitarian Association in this coutry. Dr. Schapp has been traveling in the East during the past spring, and says of the result of his inquiri “The great majority of the mis- sionaries with whom I have conversed on the subject of the Turkish rule in Constantinople, Beyrout, Dauuscus, and other places, heartily desire the speedy overthrow of this intolerable despotisin.”” Since Bishop Herzog’s consecration the Old. Catholic movement in Switzerland bas made great progress. At the-late Synod at Otten there werereported fitty-five church congrega- tions, seventeen associations, with sixty-six priests, and .73,380 inembers. The Roman Bishops of Switzerland have excommunicated the schismatical prelate, aud he has repliedin a vig- creas style, and there the matter is likely to end. ¢ R Sad case that of the Rey. Mr. Macdougall, of Stamford, Eng. Haying been so unfortunate as to fall into drinkint habits, he was suspended forayear. Returning recently to his parish and fis duties, he went so far in his determina- tion to have nothing to do with strong drink as touse unfermented wine at the communion op of Lincoln, instead of givin: his Weaker’ brother a itt, seut blu an Giieed communication, severely rebuking him, and prohibiting him from again using the unfer- mented article in the sacrament.- Such treat- is discouraging toa inan who is'‘doing his best to keep out of temptation. .The Shakers at New Lebanon caught the mulefactor, who had tried to set fire to their buildings.

A chansemay soon be expected, the Rey. Mr. Woodruff having removed to Grand Crogsing, and, being about to organize a Baptistsociety there, it is proposed to have the gentleman preach mm Hyde Park in tue mornings and in Grand Crossing in. the evening. ‘The date fixed fur the organization of the Baptist society at Graad Crossing is for about three weeks hence. There is a movement on the part of 2 number of Freewill Baptists in New York to forma union with the State Congregational Associa- tion. The Freewill Baptist pastors attended the Tate mecting of the Ontario Congregational As- sociation and presented a letter, which was re- ferred to a committee, whose report in favor of the proposed union was unanimously adopted. The plan of union provides that the Buptist urches and individuals shall be allowed to re~ tain thelr peculiar views, aud that there shall be liberty and mutual toleration. Dr. Tarbox made some very interesting sta- tistical comparisons the other day at the meet~ ing of the Congregational Generai Association of Massachusetts. In 1967 there were 238 Con- fregational churches in the State, and 64 of oth- er denominations, Now the denominations stand as tullows: Congregational, 521; Method- ist, 386; Baptivt, 259: Homan Catholic, 249; Unitarian, 187; ‘Universalist, 119; Episcopal, 110; Christian, 15; Presbyterian, 15; Sweden: borgian, 14; scattering, 20, ves a total of 1,584. Tue number of ministers is 2,233. The latest relixious wrinkle in Toronto fs the holding of “fall-dress prayer-meetings.-. They take place twice a week at the houses of tle wealthier members of St. James Church. ‘The guests come io full eve: ‘an hour the pari raise, introduced.

They cat ‘only vegetables and fruits, and drink only water and milk; at least this is the rule that is prescribed by the elders, and the people are earnestly ex- Lorted to rise to this standard and maintuin it, The United States Government recently pre- ferred charges azainst the clerzy of the Greek Churen in Alaska. The priests were accused of receiving smuggled liquors and distributing thei among the Indians in defiance of the pro- hibition of the Federal Government. ‘The Russian Government ordered an investigation, and ascertained that there were . many -irregu- Jarities in the disposition of church funds, the issue of fraudulent documents to cover up the deficits, and various other misdemeanors. The Czar deposed Bishup Johannes on May 20, and ordered him to return to Moscow an@ enter a Monastery there. The Bishop has had charge of the Diocese of Alaska for six years. An instance of thoroughly contemptible in- tolerance has lately occurred at rural outsta- tion of the Disseuting Caurch at Cutsdean, Worcestershire, Eug. For many years relig- fous service has been held in a cottage, of which Lord Radocdale ic the owner, but which is at- tached with others to a farm thetenant of which has Kindly allowed it to be used for worship. But recently Lord Redesdale’s steward was pre- vailed upon to exercise his authority to close the building against Dissenters. “An under steward Was sent to execute the mandate, and performed Ins errand ina most. insulting man- ner. He rudely demanded the key, and threat- ened that unless the forms and other furniture were immediately removed be would lock them up in the cott: Auother cottage was at once oifered to the grieved worshipers for services on the following Sabbath: but as soon as this be- came known to the steward he threatened to tura the tenants out if they dared to admit Dissenters again, apd declared that if he had ten farms to Iet na-Dissenter should become a tenant. So the people, though willing enough, are afraid to open their housés for worship, an the services have been suspended until a cot- tage cau be built or one can be purchased. This is but one of the many forms of petty persecu- tion by which it is hoped_to stamp out Dissent in the rural districts of England. MICHIGAN UNITARIAN CO: Special Correspondence of Tae Tribune.

PIOUS JOKES. Atone of the prayer-mectings against the prasshopper, 8 man who becan with, ‘‘O Lord, Thou hnowest that wheat avitspresent price—” was interrupted by a hymn. “Do those bells sound an alarm of fire?” said a stranger, the other Sunday, as the church bells were calling together the worshipers. “Yes,” was the reply, “but the fire is in the next world.”” He was a solemn-looking traveler, and he walk- ed through the depot singing “ Heaven is my ‘home,” when one of the boys called out: “Then you are going the wrong way, stranger. That is the train to New York.” . A merchant in a provincial town in Scotiand had a habit of saying “it. might hae been waur” to everything that wa3 told him, how- ever sad the story might be.

That settled it. > The teacher of Sunday-school explained to the little ones last Sunday that the next lesson would be about Naaman, who was cured of leprosy. He said he wanted the children to look in the Bible and see how Naaman was cured, so as to tell him on the next Snnday. At this juncture a hand went up. The teacher looked into the eager face of the youngster who owned the hand, and said: “What is it, Tommy!? “TI know what cured him.” “Indeed! What was it?” “Blue glass,” shouted Thomas, most unexpectediy. “Gander pulling” was the chief sport at a recent church festival at Waco, Texas. The Sunday-School * Superintendent succeeded. in catehmg the bird and dragging off its head. The game consists in riding ‘on horseback ao- der the gander, which is securely tied by the legs at such a height as to require considerable dexterity in the person who reaches for the squirming bead of the poor creature. ‘The more the gander writes and wriggles, the greater the shout which the church people send up when the Superintendent or any other man carries off the prize.

Tne one dollar is paid in the very identical manner in which Mr. Taylor might be expected to purchase a lottery ticket after his experience with “No. 164,163,” with this difference, his doubt would be the result of per- sonal experience, while hers would be founded oa what a certain practitioner (who has been a whole year trying to correct her refractury liver) has said concerning it. At home, she examines the bottle half suspiciously, tastes of its con- tents carefully, takes the prescribed dose more carefully, and then. proceeds to watch the result with as much anxiety asa practitioner woutd count the pulse-beats of a dying man. She takes another dose, and another, and shows the bottle to her fricnds, telling them she “ feels better.”” Her skin loses its bilious tint, her eyes regain their lustre, her accustomed enerzy returns, and the fact that she purchases anvther bottle {3 2 sure witness that she has found: the Golden Medical Discovery to bea rcliable remedy for the disease indicated. The lady wisely resulves that in future her estimate of any medicing will be based upon a personal knowleige of its qjects, and not upon what some practitionce (who'al- ways makes long bills rhyme with pills) nay say of it. Dr. Pierce is in receipt of letters from hundreds of the Isrgest wholesale and retail drugrists in the United States stating tbat at the present time there is a greater demand for the Golden Medical Discovery and Purvative Pellets than ever before. In affections of te ver and blood they are unsurpassed. “
