It must e very eratifying to the Ritualists to find such suestimate put on their honesty, to say noth- fazof therr consistency, by one so well qualified 1o judge as this Birmingham Father. ‘To eat the bread of a Clurch pledged to up- Lold the doctrines of the Protestant Reforma- tionof the sixteenth century, while sceking to undermine ber foundations, is 6o inconsistent that one marvels that any can remain in the Carchof Evgland, or her daughter, the Prot- eant Epispocal Church of this land, while th \tesdily repudiate her teachings, scek to change nd, by precept and practice in con- gneting ber worship, assimulate her as near as possitie 1o the Church they love the best.

The mother crow in having started a very ‘“dangerous heresy.” Cavon Liddon and the people of his way of thinking evidently look upon them in the same light in which the Jews of the dispersion looked upon Paul aud Silas, when they cawe preaching the Gospel iu those distant cities. The writer of the article seems to feel that the chief danger 7 from this new order is that it is €0 near the truth, so near the real primitive model of an Episcapal Church, that ibe English public might possibly mistake it for that which it counterfeits. * There is this dif- 1erence,” says he, ‘‘between the new sect which to orzavize and all othier Protes- sects, that it is really Episcopal.” Ile ad- 1mits that - Bishop Cummins was duly conse- crated, and never regularly desraded trom the Epscopate.” He speaks of Bishop Cunmins as “amember of the American _Episcopate, in- Lienitor of the true and valid order of Seabur White, Provoost, and Madison, and conse: Iy of the Anglican Episcopate, Seabury b received consecration from the Bishops of Scot- hlnd.l ,l'ld the other three from those of En- gland. But, strange to say, while thua admitting that this new body is in thie true, unbroken apostolic succession, and thus in possession of the real, essential elements of the Episcopate, the writer thinks it will not do after all, and re- catedly calls it a sect, o schismat ody. After pointing out certain incon- sistencies, which he charges upon Bishop Cummins and his followers, L adds, us a sortof apology: *But schism cannot be expected to be eousistent. with itself.” Now, at this di tance, it Jooks a5 if Canon Liddon was hardiy coosistent with himsell_in first admitting re- formers to have a true Episcopate, derived from his own Apostolic Church, sud thea warning the English public it 13 1 counterf It is carious to notice the ground of his ob- jection.

WORSHIP OF SATURN. SINGULAR SUPERTSITION I SOUTHERN INDIA. Pali-Mall Gazette. The malevolent power of the god Sani, the Hindoo Saturn, is an essential part of the Hin- doo faith. The sacred writings abound with instances of his 1mplacable hatred to mankind. We have various sources of information as to the character ascribed to this deity; the counts drawn from which, though now differing much in detail, seem to denote a comumon ori- gin. In Greek mythology, Saturn is the son of Heaven and Earth, a deposed ruler of the gods. According to the view of Piolemy and the astrological writers, he is the “supremest or highest of the planets, placed between Jupiter and the firmament; and Governor of the airy triplicity.” When joined by an evil aspect to the ascendent, he causes sickness, family afllic- tion, accidents, falls, and bruises. The mind becomes dull and heavy under his influcoce; the body suffers lingering diseases, coughs, colds, pl’negmatic complaints, and low fevers. \When ill-diznified he is envious, covetous, jeal- ous and mistrustful, timorous, sordud, dissem- bling, slugrgish, suspicious, stubtiorn, a coutetn- ner of woman, a liar, malicious, murturing, never contented, and ever repining. This cheer- ful character is not inconsistent with the myth- ologrical acconnts of cither brauck of the Aryan race. The use amongst oorselves of the adjective saturnine indicates a sullen and zloomy disposi- tion. The Grecian Saturn mutilated his father und devoured his children. But tbe Hindoo Saturn delights in acts of wauton cruelty and Inischief, pursues his victim with the ferocity and relentlessness of a bloohound, and scldomn quits bis prey _until the utmost wretchedness nas been attained. It is very remarkabdle, low- ever, that the power of Sani is not suppos extend to the deprivation of life. In this therc is 2 remarkable resemblance to the Satan of the Book of Job. Sani oppresses his victims for a Jonger or shorter period, but never longer than seven years aud a_half, which is_the maximum period of the duration of his malevolence, ac- cording to the Hindoos. _According to Ptolemy Tis threc periods are thirty., forty-three and 2 half, and fifty-seven years: and his greatest ey relerring to~ States, buildings, and matters of a2 permanent nature, is 465 years. It is useless 1o attempt any escape from misfortune so long as Sani js against us. His power extends over the heavens, the earth, the sca and the regious below the earth, and all beings, created or un- created, mortal or immortal, are liable to the werath of this terrible being, who scems to have been o wod after Calvin's own heart. Siva, the first person of the Lindvo triad, was driveu into maduess by Sani, and, decked with living ser- pents and human bones, danced with deinons amid graves. Viehnu was tied to a rice-nortar by shepherdesses. for having, at Sani’s instiza- tion, stolen butter and ghee. Subramania was changed into'a Vengai tree, by the same powcr, whils paying his addresscs to 3 Kurava damsel. Vigneswara, when an_iniant, had his nead burned up by the evil glances of Saui,—a lezend recalling the malocchic, or evil eye, of the Ital- jans. which Pius IX. is believed to posses. The most moted instance of the persistent malice of Sani is the theme of a splendid epi- sode of the Maha Bharata.—the adventures of ¥a and Damayanti. Hesenting the prefer- ence shown by the latter for the former, Suni firet incited Nala to wamble away his Kingdom, L5d then turacd the pair penmless and forlorn ibto the desert, where he Lrouzhton thema Tabies of misfortunes the recital of which strikes the reader withhorror. 1t would be difficult to find a parallel tale ‘in any other literature, co- taining so much misery and terror, with_such conjusal fidelity and ~ unbending _fortitude. There is & temple dedicated to Sani at Kuteha- nur, in the_southwesteru part of the adura District. Like all edifices of this mnature, it is divided into three portions of outer apartment, hioly place, and_cell, or sanctum sanctoruin. The image of Saui is mounted ona gigantic crow. His ministers are Brahmin priests, and his ministrations rescmble those of other Brahmmical _pagodas, with the exception that wno Dasis, or vestals, are at- fached to the temples of Saturn. A great festival of three days’ duration is held, com- enciug on the 15th of Adi each year, in onor of the misogynist zod, on which, contrary to the usual custom, all the worshipers are feasted at Ihe expense of the temple, although the offer- ings mude far exceed the amount of the ex- penditure. Sbeep, poultry, rice, camphor, Plantaius, and artifical flowers made of zold and silver are oficred. Tue animals are brought Slive, and are sold at auction by the priests on the third day of the feast. The special pe- culiarity of the rite is that all the worshipers arnestly supplicate not the presence but tho absence of the god, and beseech him never to Tisit their homes or to turn the evil lizht of bis tibe old Greek fable may, however, be credited with more sagacity than these worshipers of S:ul, when she replied to the request of her sick sun that she should pray for his recovery: Better not your case to mention Than attract the gods’ attention. CHICAGO AVENUE CHURCH. IT 1S FREE FROM DEBT. To the Editor of The Tribune. (2A1cAGO, Oct. 12.—An article published in the Chidcago Allianceand recently copied by other Chicago papers purporting to be a correet list of the value of Church property in Chicago, and giving thedebt of each church, places the debt of Chicazo Avenue (Moody’s) Church at 243, 000. A3 many of our friends may not know the factit in relation to our church, we wish to make the tlollowing statement : Al the time our building was completed we were: in debt to the extent $18,000, fncluding §15.L100 for borrowed money, to secure which the e’hurch property had been mortgaged nom- inally- for §25,000, but we only drew $15,000, as ::m wras sutlicicnt to meet the demands at the me. It was Mr. Moody’s wish tbat the church should not be formally opened until out of debt, and an effort was made to raise the amount needesd. Aftur several attempts a sufficient amount was ra ised by including our old church lot at a low cauih value. The mortgage, however, was given for five years, and as the security was unquestionably wood, the Company holding it could not be ex- pected to wive us a release until it expired. The inatter was laid before 2 friend of the church, who agrreed to take what available assets we then lad on hand. and, making up the balance his onvn_subseription, assume the loau and relicve us from auy further respousibility in that direction. This offer was gladly accepted. as he was and is ampl ¥ responsible, and_ the church was dedi- ated virtually free from debt. To our many friends who bave s0 kindly assisted us in this euterprise we wonld sn{ that the present offi- cers propose 1o keep the eliurch aut of debt, and if we cannot branch out and do what we would }ke to, we will do what we can with the means at our control, and, be it much or little, we will “pay as we o.”? Jos. A. WEERS, Treasurer. GENERAL NOTES. The Anglican Church in Australia and New Zealandl claims 919,000 of the total population (2,322,5(8) of these colonies. The Church has sixteen dioceses. A New York Jewish paper, with unconscious irony, remarks: “No wonder the Rev. Dr. Hucbsel's temple is well attended, for, apart from tie many attractive features of the ser- vice, there are forty-eight charming young Jew- esses, who sing every Sabbath in the choir.” The Freeman's Journal, a prominent Roman Catholic organ, says that church-building priests rarely attain an advanced age. Thei object gained they languish, weaken, and die, still yoams in years. There is nothing so inter- esting, 5o varied, so touchiug as the faces of priests engazed in church-building. A correspondent writes: It is gratifying to know that the propusition to change the name of the Protestant Episcopal Church has been effectually killed at this early stage in the Gen- eral Couvention, Gov. Fish, of New York, from the Committee to whom was referred the ap- pointment of a commission in reference to this aud other constitutional changes, having re- ported that it was inexpedient to appoint ~such commission.” The Christian Intelligencer says that the min- ry saffers at the hands of careless reporters. Thé more foulish and outrazeous a sermon is the better it suits the penny-a-liner, however much it may diszust sensible people. Perhaps the most exceptionable of these reports are those prepared by egotistical preachers thewm- ves, who have a passion. for blowing their owh trampets, and are alwavs blaring their per- formances before the innocent public. The Qualers are holding their yearly conven- tion in Lawrence, Kan. Awong the prominent Friends in attendance sre Stanley Humpbrey and wife, of Londun, Ene.; Walter Robson, of Eneglund; David Updegraff, of Obio.

The Fxecutive *Committee of the Inte tional Sunday-School Convention met in York, 2 feww evenings ago, and ratitied the ar- rangements which has siready informally been made to hold the next Convention in Atlanta in April next. A bearty invitation has been ex- tended by the Atlanta peuple. The Interna- tional Convention 15 held every three y aud delegates are sent from the arious States i number equal to the representation tn Con- gress. The last International Convention was in Baltimore in 1875, and the Rev. George A. Peltz was its Presideut. The Bvangclical Knowledge Society, an organization within the pale of the Episcopal Church, met in_Boston on the 9th inst. The Fev. Dr. Dyer, Sceretary of, the Souicty, read the triennial report of the ccutive Commit- ¢, which set forth that since the last meeting 600'books and tracts had been published. Among the prominent deatbs had_been those of the Rev. John Johns, the Rev. Johu Payne, and the . W. Andrews. The Committee had not 3t it best to assume an aggressive policy, believing that non-action was better then divi ed action. The cash ou hand at the commence- ment of the term was 32,535.90: receipts during three years, $13,460.07; expenditures, $12,148. The Committee at the close asked that the So- ciety decide upon its future policy. and in re- ward to the disposal of the plates and cuts, & Jarge number of which bave accumulated, they being of but little present value. The Pall Mall Gazette (Ruszophobic) says that the doctrine of Nitnlism i3 making great head- sway in Russia. Nibilistn is simply a violent con- fempt of all relizion whatever, und_hostility to the whole existing framework of society. "Its founder was Dobrolinboff, the son of a cleray man, and 2 pupil of an ecclesiastical seminary; and the seminaries, as well as the schools where the daughters of the clerey are brouzht up, are its nurcerics. Nearly all the young people turned out by these estabhshments are Nilulists; and, as the whole clergy, the greater part of the teaching profession, and a mighuy array of functionaries, medical men, engincers, journal- ists, ete., are’ seminarists, the Nibilistic move- ment spreads ibly; and pot only througzh- out the cducated middle clusses, but even among the sous and daughters of the powertul and wealthy.

Zadok Eohn, the Grand Rabbi of Paris, wears the decoration of Chevalier of the Legion of Honor. & The Secretaries of the American Congrega- tional Uuion, Drs. Ray Palmer, of New York, and Christopher Cushing, of Boston, have ten- dered their resignations, which nave been ac- cepted. Bishop McCoskry, of Michigan, has deposed the Rev. Lorenzo D. Ferzuson, of Grand Rap- ids, from the ministry of the Protestant Episco- pal Chureh, the reason being that Mr. Ferguson has become a Methodist. The Rev. James A. Bartlett has left the Meth- odist Episcopal Church and joined the Presby- terians, snd become pastor of the Second Church of that faith in Newburyport, Mass. Marblchead, Mass., was Mr. Bartlett’slast charge as a Methodist. The Rev. W. W. Everts, Jr., who has been supplying the Fourth Baptist Church, Provi- dence (for twenty-three years under the vastoral | care of Dr. A. . Granger), has receiveda unao- fmous call to become its pastor, and has ac- cepted. TForty-elght vears is a long pastorate to spend with one church in these days ot change. The Rev. Dr. Shelton has comptéted that term with St. Paul’s Church, Buflalo, Y., and the event was duly celebrated by his parishioners. He Y150 pasced his 75th birthday a few days later. The Rev.

When Bishop Basworth Smitl, of Kentucky, dies, the senior Bishop _of the Protestant Epis- copal Church will be Dr. McCoskry, of Michi- gzn, who was consccrated in 1536. Bishop Smith was conscerated in 1832 Bishop Whit- tingham, of Mary and, consecrated in 1840, stands nest to Bishop McCoskry. The latter is a High Courchman, while Bishoo Bmith i3 a de- cided Low Churchman. Bishop Strossmayer, of Hungary, has an fn- come of nearly $200,000 a year. Catan Licdon, who lately visited the maznificent Bishon, was charmed with the man and amazed at the medixeval splendor of his establishment. Ev day in the year he gives dinners 1o forty or fifty poor persons. *In church building, as in other things,” said the Bishop, 'the nearer we get to primitive way the better.” PIOUS PERVERSIONS. ‘This is the time of year when the prudent man will not join the church until after the winter stoves are all up.

Bosroy, Mass., Oct. 8.—Going along Tremont strees Monday morning, just as 1 found my- t | self opposite old Tremont Temple, I ov heard some one say, “*So Cook is at it again.” : | [ glanced up, saw a little procession of people taking their way up the Temple stairway, and ¢ | immediately comprehended the brief and pithy sentence I had overheard. It was the hiour and the day of the Rev. Joseph's administrations; on a secord term, or a new term,—for I don't know but this is the fourth or fifth series. There is not the same excitement that there was last season about these lectures. There are no longer “ overtlowing houses™; even the most rosy of reporters do not venture to say anything more than the house was “well dilled,” or “it was a very good audience,”,which to the uninitisted does not cover the fact that there were several empty seats. Feank Sanbora, that accomplished satirist and schiolar, writes to the Springlield Jtepublican of last week one of the Wittiest_eriticisms on these Monday iectures and the Jecturer tnat I have seen. He speaks iu this graphic way of the audience: * HI3 AUDLENCE WAS LARGE, BUT HIS MANNER WAS EVEN LANGER. But neither manner nor audience come up to the standard of last year. There were a great | | many empty seats, and therc was greater in- clination to go out than to come in after the lecture-ship got along to tenthly,” And about this * manner,” Mr. Sanborn explains thus: “There was als0 something subdued in the tone of the speaker. 281 he had learned bis limitatons a httle better, e has still much to learn in that direction, and he will have many eritics anzions to teach bun, uaing his new volume as a text-bouk. And bere is another clever hit at one of Mr. Cook’s peculiariti 1t 32 hard to consider Mr, Cook and his lectare- ship with that intense seriousness peculiarto him- seif, and which leads him so often down the caxy slope of hyperbole to the pool of buthos at the bottom of the hill. Une would not, at finst thought, perceive anything grotesque in the aeath of Daniel Webster; but Mr. Cook has con- trived to make it seem s, *+On the morning of Satnrday, Oct. 23, 1852, Damiel Weoster said to his phyeician, *1 sbull dieto-night.’ Dr. Jeilries, winch moved, replied, after a_panse, *You are 1, Bir. worgeous and jeweled October day rolied on at the edie of the s, " elc., Now, it might be hard to explain exactly why thid cd us smile, but such i the fact. And, with ull the_eloquence and all the quotations of Mr. Cook, he constantly excites the risiblg, without meaning in the loast to make us laugh: 1 know it isasln For me to sit and grin At him here; Tut his red-nosed bloplasms And his ne tonement spasms Are so qucer. This funuy parody will be recognized as re- terring to Oliver Wendell Holmes’ verse in ¢ The Last Leaf 7’z I know it is a sin For me to sit und grin At nim here. But the old three-cornered hat ‘And the breeches—and all that— Are s0 queer. Mr. Sanborn is quite right concerning both the change in the Jarge audiences and the large manner of the lecturer. There is a Icssening of both this vear. In this scond of the new serics, the last Monday's lecture, there was the usual prelude, which is gettine much criticised here, not in print but in social conversation, specially since in the lecturer’s new volume all this preluding, which seems to have little to do with the lecture itself, is incorporated in the bound book, 7O TUE ASTUNISHMENT OF ALL WELL-BALANCED t This last Monday’s preiude was all about Labor and Capitai, and Mr. Cook’s views of these two forces, and the strikes of Jast summer, which was about the same subject that preluded the first of the new serics a week ago.

Perhaps these preludes are only intended o assist Mr. Cool in throwing off some of his superabundant vitality to put him into a proper frame of mind for *the bioplasms ”’ and the & new atonement spasms.” He opened the lect- ure proper on Solar Self-Culture by quoting the oct Dante as describing the angels e met in Paradise, who **brightened outwardly” on ap- oroachink, s one * deligated to do good.” He then spoke in this connection of EMERSON AND GEORGE ELIOT, of whom men have said that at times theirfaces Jooked ke porcelain with a light behind it. ‘After this and a few more remarks of the same Kind, we were told to put aside the mysticism of these remarks and all reference to the Bible, and come down to the solid granite ot the scien- tific method and see what could be proved. Now, here are some of th propositions which Jir. Cook calls solid granite: First—There is rometimes in the face a solar 1d—There is sometimes 1n the face an earth- 1y look. :'I‘Ixirll—Tln: former arises, o8 we know by con- y of the higher nature sciousness, from the acti when conscience is supreme.
