THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, MARCH 20 1879—-SIXTEEN PAGES. cor frem the Old Catholic Church be- action of the Synod in permitting: e of priests. The outlook for O1d in Germany is not, therefore, a very ‘orable one. rew Theolosical Seminary has now no in- nbrance. Within'the pust vear over $50,000 been revcived from Philadelphia. At the recent meeting of the Philadelphia Conference $2.200 was raised as acoutribution to help com- plete the endowment fund of the Bishop Janes Protessorship. The anuual meeting of the Ada Street Methodist Episcopal Church Society was held ‘ednesday ‘evening, and the old Trustees, Messrs. Billings, Weaver, and Maskel, were re-clected. The church is in a flourishing condi- tion, out of debt, and the premium on $25,000 insurance has been paid for three years in ad- vance. The Wesleyan missionary, the Rey. George Brown, three of whose companions were eaten nbout a year agoin New britain, reports that he has just opeocd three new churches in the island, and two or three young men are waiting tobe baptized. There are still three vacancies made by the Jossof the three teachers which ‘have not been filled. In North Dana, Mass. the Methodists and Universalists have joint memberships in a church building: the former occupy it in the morning, the latter in the evening. and they have had no sectarian jats. An Indiana Mcth- odist Church has recently taken into full mem- bership a Universalist, allowing him to retain his fui! faith and belief. Influential_Catholics of Bologna have peti- tioned the Pope to recall Cardinal Parocchi, Archbishop of that diocese, on the ground that his administration is one of favoritism, and has become offensive to respectable Catholics. The Pope referred the matter to one of the conzrera- tions for mvestigation. The Archbishop has not the exequatur of the Government. The doctrine of personal holiness, or entire freedom from sin, seems to be gaining ground in the Methodist Church. In the Kentucky Conierence, a few days azo; the venerable Bishop Scott said: ‘For fifty-four years I have been a follower of Christ, and for over fifty years 8 profestor of holiness. Ihave not only professed it, but have enjoyed it.”” The Living Church, in a review of the life and Jabors of the Jate Dr. De Koren, sits down on the extreme High Church pertv thusly: “There was-no one near him, of his particular school of thought, who was nearly enough his equal to support and strengthen him in counsel; aud now that he is taken away from its head, it will speedily be dissolved or sink into comparative insignificance.” The Belgian Bishops have condemned the Government Education Jaw because instruction in dogmatic relixion is no longer made com- pulsorr, and have prescribed a prayer which is To be recited ainud after mass fn every church nd chapel. It calls on God to prevgnt the bill froin becoming a law. One of its most charac- teristic sentences is: ‘* From the schools with- gut God, and the schoolmasters’ without faith, deliver us, O.Lord! Ameu.” The Pope bas been summoned to appear be- fore the tribunal of Soleure, in Switzerland, as interested in_a succession. Some months back an ecclesfastic of that town died, constituting VeoXIL., by will, residuary legatee, after pay- ment of some legacies to the Emperors of Aus- tia and Brazil. These sovereigns renounced the succession, but bis Holiness sent uo reply, und as the relatives of the deceased now attack the will on the ground of the tescator’s insanity, ‘the Pope is made defeadant in the suit. Prince Nicholas, of Montenegro, in response toa letter from the Archbishop of Scutari and Antivari asking recognition of the Roman Catholic Church, writes that the “history of Montenegro ig made up of one unbroken and difficult, but successful, strugrle for the free exercise of the Christian religion. My Roman Catholic subjects will enjoy the full measure of this freedom, and4t shall’ be the continual care and duty of my Government thut the Ronan Catholics shaliin nothing und never be distin- guished from their orthodox fellow-citizens, but shall enjoy all the advantages ot the State apd my sovereign love, which is the same for ail.” The Christian Church congregation, who have for the past six months been meeting in the church building corner of South Park aye- nue and Thirty-third street, have transferred their place of worship to the large edifice on Oakland boulevard, known as the Oakland Church, where their services will be held, com- mencing to-day. The church has engaged as its settled pastor the Rev. J. L. Parsons, for- anerly of New Albany, Ind., who will beeia Lis ministrations at once.’ “He will preach to-day, morning and ‘evening. been attending the services of the church are earnestly requested to continue to do so, und a ‘mos: cordial invitation fs tendered all friendly, disposed persons to lend their presence and en- couragement in the guod work. ._ The following are Bishop McLaren’s appoint- ments Jor the remainder of March and fer April: March 30, ‘Lrinity, 10:80 p.m.; 30, St. Mark’s, 7:30 p.m.; April 2, St. Mark's, Evan- ston, 7:80 p. m.: 3, Grace, Hinsdale, 7: 4, Emmanuel, LaGrange, 7:30. p.m. James, 10:30 a. m.; 6, Grace, 7:30 p. m.; 8, St. Paut’s, Hyde Park, 7:30 p. m.3 10, Calvary, 7:30 2. m.3 12, Cathedral, Good Friday, all day; 12, Cathedral, Holy Baptism, Easter Even; 13, Cathedral, Kaster tonfirmation; 16, Epiphany, p.m.; 20, Emmanuel, Rockford, all day; 21, Belvidere, 7:3) p. m.;'22, Zion, ‘Freeport, 7:30 p. m.; 22, Zion, ‘Freeport, Holy Co munion; 4, Grace, Galevs, 7:50 p. m.

Bishop Gilmore, of Clevetand, in a recent in- terview spoke of the confessional in tbis wise: ‘-There has been a great deal of objection of- fered w the confessional. I¢ the public knew how auch trouble, what a source of discomfort and misery (laughing) this is to the priesthood, as well a3 to those who confess, there would be different feclings on this subject." ‘+L suppose hearin confesstons is severe?" **Yes, sir. Imagine the priest in ais littic box, with his ear or face near the grating. Through that little narrow opening are poured into the con- fined box for seven or eight hours, with the most fearful stories of wickedness, tae foul breath of many people. When the priest finishes his task and arises from bis cramped position to dravr iu the pure air urain he feels a great relief, I can tell you. We have to deal at the confessional only with un- Pleasant things, with the sin of mankind—the bad phases of humanity.” “*Can there be no other way of receiving con- fessions than from the boxes?" - **That is the method that has been in use in the churches for many hundred years, If any differ- ent, improved pian can be properly. adopted every priest will bethankfal. It is a very unpleasant duty, as you can readily understand.” NOT WANTED. To the Editor af The Tribune. Cnicaco, March 29.—Reading in your Inst Sunday’s issue an article headed “ A New Epic- copal Church,” I was struck with one or moreof ‘the bints thrown out. In the first place, let me say that the writer must be a very new resident in the locality mentioned, or he would remem- ber the attempts to establish the Church of the Holy Communion, the Bishop Whitehall Me- morial Church, and the Church of the Advent. All of these have failed to sustain themselves. in the next place, let me state what is a fact, that, although St. Mark’s Church is remarkably well attended and the pews largely rented, ‘tunere ¥ct remains space and a welcome for more, and a cordial invitation to all in the neigbbor- hood referred to. As a matter of business it would be found more economical for the resi- dents in the neighborhood of the writer to ride iu carriages if need be than to attempt any new enterprise of the sort. Qur great evil has been “too mauy small churches.” Let this prove our warning. x. PERSONAL. Prof. Swing makes pastoral calls by means of the telephone. ‘The Rev. T. N.

Eugene Reveillaud, the distinguished French journalist whose remarkable conversion from Romanism has excited _so much interest, expresses the opinion that France will become Protestant within forty years, Dr. Bolls, of Cleveland ‘says ‘there are but four Protestant Episcopal clergymen’ in this country who haye never changed their par- ishes, and who have passed, or nearly passed, their fiftieth year of-réctorship. ‘They are the Rev. Johti Brown, of St. George’s Chureb, New-. bure, N. Y.; the Rev. W. C. Mead, of the St.! Paul’s Church, Norwalk, Conn.; the Rev. Theodore Edson, of St. Ann’s Church, Lowell, Mass.; and the Rey. W. Shelton, D. D., of St! Paul’s Church, Buffalo. The Rev. Dr. Burr has been Rector of All Saints’ Church, Ports- mouth, O., for thirty-five years, and the Rev. Dr. Craik Rector of Christ Church,. Louisville, Ky., for the same period. , THE REV. DR. LORIMER. Of Dr. Lorimer, who will officiate this morn-" ing and evening in the First Baptist Courch, from which he has received a call, thé Bostou correspondent of the Alliance gives the fullow- ing sketeh: * ’ As you enter Tremont Temple Sunday morning and are looking in vain for a vacant seat among the 2,000 and more sittings that the Temple con- tains; and as the music rolls out from the larze organ back of th2 platform, that is tilled to the edge with strangers, asbort, thin man, not over five feet seven, nor weighing over 135 pounds, steps upon the platform and tekes his seat behind the sacred desk. ‘fhe first thought is one of sur- prise that a man not over 40 years of age, and etill mere youthful in appearance, with a foot and bund that are more like a lady 's than 2 sturdy, brusque thinker's, should have acquired such a reputation and go justly, in a city where it is with such difficulty exrned “and sustained. Tut upon clear inspection it is seen that the man upon whom all eyes are turned has a Jaree and Jong head, & Prominent forehead, a nose of goud size, go essen- tial to good sense, and a chin mdicating strength and decision of character. Such is the exterior appearance of Dr. George C, Loruner to » casual goxerver who never before bas’ rested eyes upon the man, But the kind of a house in which a man lives is of little importance compared with the kind of a man that lives in it, and a very large man may live in a very mall houseand not be cramped for room. ‘The first sentence that comes from the rostram in- dicates a mind that is clear, and whose clearness is not ut the exvense of its breadth and depth. The Next sentence indicates the qualities of, mind so adrairabie in a public speaker, and pre-eminently ina minister. namely. honesty and fairness, And an honest mind is easily detected, for it dodges not around difliculties, burt meets’ tnem, and either overcomes or is overcome by them. But an honest mind will not conform facts to suit preconceived theories, It abides the results of inexorable logic and wishes only the truth. Dr. Lorimer's mind is fret and foremost an honest mind, and though the compliment seema large, it is, nevertbeless, des served. | In.the aext place you are struck with the ease with which be chooses words ta express his thought. Language is with hima medium for the expression of thought, and as such he uses it with taste and precision. His power of condensing a theory into a sentence iy at. times marvelous, and though he bas not the orieinai quaintnes and quiet sarcasm. coupled with the poctic senius, of »yoind like Chicago's greatest thinker, David Swing, nor the incisive and narrow persistency of a mind like Francis L. Patton's, he yet starts out clearly and logically foran end, and finds himsel! there, not so much by shaping bis thousht ang forcing a ‘con- clusion as by, being led by the natura) and graceful unfolaing of an honest mind that desires to know and speak the traty, The sources from which Dt Lorimer draws in the treatment of his subject are, first, the Scriptures and the writings of the fathers, and very largely frora ancient and modern history, with a gracefal sprinkling of the best poets, le makes few allusions to tne classics, and dwells no: in the sphere of the ideal and esthetical so much as in the sphere of the practical and actual. But all sources that are drawn upon for illustrations are used not as an end but asa means. The object of preaching with himis net beanty of. thought and the praise of the hearer so much as the usefulness of thought and good of the hearer. Such are the general impressions tit one derives .from a stzay hearing of Dr. Lorimer. SUNDAY CHAT.

By encouraging such Games among their Women the ancient Greeks fully understood the valne’ of open-air Gymoastics, and produced those beautiful and graceful fig- ures which, as shown io their marble representa- tives handed down to us, the world of to-day cannot rival. Utica seems to have unbounded faith in her club, judging from this item from a local paper: “Under Manager. McGuinness, the new team promises to be so strong that even the loss of the best ball-player in the country, Hardy Rich- ardson, will not be felt.?” THE TURF. LONG-DISTANCE RACING. Atshort intervals during the'racing season there is heard a complaint from the public that the associations which eater to the lovers of tur sports pay too little attention to long-dis- tance races; that nearly all the events on the various programmes are dashes or, at best, mile heats, Those. who agitate this. question argue that two-mile heats and three and four mile dashes, or repeats, are what the people want, and blame the assoclations for not furnishing them. Why this cry is not heeded is clearly aud forcibly explained by the New York World as follows: . Althor the number of long-distance races ron both in England and-the United States are vradu- ily being rednceg in number each year, there can be no denial that they are still very popular with the masgea, and the **cup™ day ariably draws the next lareest crowd of the meeting, and that in spite of the verv small fleldsof starters such events bring out. Especially is this so in England, where such cvents ng the Chester, Ascot, and Gondwood Cups. with their more than half.a century of recol- Jections, rately bring out more ¢! five or six starters. The fast time the Goodwood saw double iigures was in 1864, when the French horse Dollar had nine others behind him, andthe Azcot in 1867, wher. that prince of plungete, the Marquis of Has- tinge’ colt Lecturer, was the winner out of ‘ten starters. ‘ The Caester in a measure stifl retains its prestige for targé tields, and has averaged a dozen starters for the last elght years, but what a fallinz off is that number from thirty-tive in 1857 and thirty-three in 1850, when the now dead Leamiaz- ton captured the stakes. Here in the United States the number of starters in cup races have never been farge,—six, when Shylock won in 1874. be- ing the ‘largest field at Jerome. and seven on the octasion of the memorable ** dead-heat” between Springook and Preakness in 1875. But there is a gradual tendency by the associations to reduce the number of ‘Jong-distance races on their pro- gramine. The American Jockey Club bas given up the Woodburn and Maturity, while the Saratorn Association hus gradually cut its Summer Handi- cap down from two mile3 and a quarter to a mile anda half. Nor can the managers be blamed much fordoingeo. Fora race over two miles clubs mast add 2 thousand or more dollars, notwithetandinz the certainty that there will not be more than tive or six starters, of which it is just possible that one of them will ‘*spread-cazle” the ticid.. Bat take the thousand dollars and divide it into two or three urses at any distance not exceeding a mile anda fariong ora mile and a auarter, and there will be from eight to twelve starters in each race. ‘The betting will be good aad the finishes close. Of course, this is to ve regretted, as bottom or stay- ing qualities are being wacrificed for speed, but, although there is a good attendance on the ‘*cap” day, there is but little enthusiasm, and that as a rule among the admirers of the winner. But see the difference with a field of cight or ten, tue lot in a bunch at the beginning of the tast furiong,’ perhaps .half the number running on even terms, the boys all at work at the beginning of the last hundred yards, the’ fa- yorite half a Jength bebind, with an outsider leading! What a scene of excitement! Those backing the field are certain the outsider will stay. ‘Those on-the favorite are equally confident. There is no change at the mile-distance stand, when sud- denly, as if lifted by some unsven power, another horse heads the lenders, the race is over, and the thousands present, having applauded till’ they are hoarse, settle in their seats tired, but uclichted. Such was the scene frequently at Saratoga Inst year, while for the cup, to which the Club added 31,090. there were only three starters, Parole, Joe, and Gen. Phillips. The betting was ten to one on Parole, and he won by tive lengtha. The nest race was a dasu of three-quarters of a mile fora purse of $300. it had twelve starters, inclnding Vir- ginus, Bonnie’ Wood, and Rhadamanthus,- who sold respectively first, second. and third choices. Perfection won bya neck, with Bonnie Wood sec- ond. The next rice was also for a purse of $200, —the distance a mile and 2 quarter. It had eleven starters, with Maritana the favorite. She won by aneck, with Hattie F., the third choice in the bet- ting, second, Of the three races the last two picused a majority present and sent them back to the hoteis with their minds made up that rac- ing was ‘awfully exciting," and that they would. not have ‘*imissed it for anything.” Can associa- tions, therefore, be blamed for giving the public what most pleases it? THE AMERICANS IN ENGLAND. As the English sporting papers persistently refuse to furnish tneir readers with even the slightest amount of intelligence concerning the doings of the American horses in that country, the public on this side of the water must de- pend on its own journals for. the réguired ‘news. Arecent number of the New York Herald has the following interesting facts concerning Mr. Lorillard’s string, from which it will be seen that things do not look so gloomy for “the ‘Yankees ” after all. Those horses that are not required till later on, in April or May, and especially the Two Thousand Gumicas und Derby horses. are only doing very steady and slow work so as to prepare thom gradu- ally and get them to their best on the day of the race. Soth of these races. have now u very open appearance, for, with Peter out of the way owing to Gen. Peel's death, Falmonth showing signa of weakness in his pins, and Victor Chief under sus- picion, peopie are forced back upon 2 dozen horses whose’ 2-year-old running was wonderfully sin- ilar, Last December it looked dollars to dough- nuts against Mr. Lorillard’schance for either of these important events witn. Uncas, but things have changed a bit since then. and, with health, the son of Lexington and Coral may, after all, get As near, if not nearer, the money than Brown Prince did two yearsago. So far Uncas bas done well, snd but for his rather light thighs would show a wonderful amount of character. In his long. slow gailops with Parole he moves with wonderful freedom, und ay seen then he makes more friends than when standing still. Another monta wi! tell the story as to his prospects of taking part in the ‘fwo Thousand Guineas. Parole never looked bet- ter in his life than be does now, and in the opinion of others besides your correspondent he will ‘not be very far off landing the great Metropolitan Stakes | if he keeps on duiuy as well as he has continued to do thus far. The most wonderful change of all, however, isin the appearance of the 2-year-old, sister to Parole, Pappoose. She has shor ap Hke a mushroom, and, always a lis must now be sct down as **lanky." ‘There is no great harm in her thus growing, provided she be- gins ‘to get furnished and “thickens; but it is more than dikely now that it will be a little late in the season before she is scen.in public, when she will be better able to stand: the racket of racing at top speed with, a heavy weight.on her back. Nereid is looking well and has developed into a niccly-shaped, stronely- built Hilly, while she possesses rare activ, and ifs little care ‘is taken in selecting her compuny she will yet catch the judge's eye. Cherokee is srow- ing, 80 far as appearance goes, into a second ftose- bers. It willbe remembered that that horse won both the Cambridgeshire and Cesarewitch bandi- caps in 1876, one of the most remarkudle feats ever accomplished onthe English turf. In color, shape, and character Cheroseo resemales Mrt Smith's horse as nearly,as itis possible. for two horses to resemble one ‘another. So far s0 sood, and now for Mr. Lorillard’s sake it is to be hoped that his home:ored colt will turn ont sométhing like as fast ag Rosebery. ‘The otbers ure doing as well as could de wished, and will doubtless present a much better appearanee at the close of the month than they du at present, for they have done noth- ing in the way of work yet beyond healthy.exer- cise. - ‘The Dake of Magenta is slowly recovering from his severe attack, and gets walking exercises on the paddock outside his dox in instatinents of ten minutes at the time, so as not to fatigue him too. much, for he is dreadfally weak still.
