Spread Abroad Literally Like the Leaves of the Ancients, A Reporter " Astonished at What He Saw. One of America’s Special Indus- tries by Which the Whole World Is Benefited. ‘ “A building five stories high and nearly 100 feet square, tlanked by another nearly as large, where all is bustle and activity, tho firstequipped with heavy and intricate machinery, driven by an hundred horse-power engine; tons of india- rubber and various medical ingredients, under- going manipulation; experts watching tho dif- ferent processes of manufacture. Judge of our surprise when told that this immense laboratory (located in South Brooklyn) was devoted to the Preparation of Benson's Capcine Porous Plaster. We had never thought of this branch of busi- nessat all, and, if we had, it would have been merely a passing idea of « little room with a few. plasters for a few people troubled with back and other aches; but here, looking at the many busy women engaged from'morming to night in box- ing and labeling the plasters, to be made ready for the market every day. one is amazed at the enormous consumption of them there must be. : Where on earth can so many go? we asked. Everywhere; come into our shipping depart- ‘tment and our statement will be verified,’ and it ‘was, for the books showed orders from nearly every partof our globe. These plasters seem like the leaves the ancients wrote about, that were given for the herling of the nations, to be sent into every part where there wus pain.”— Brooklyn (N._¥.) Eagle. The great Success of Benson's Capcine Porous Plaster is due to the fact that it is not only farsu- perior to all similar articles, but an invention of absolute value. It is prepared with the greatest. care and skill and contains the ingredients for rapid relief which is demanded by this progres- sive and impatient age. It has been awarded medals, National and International, for its merit. Eminent physicians have spoken and written in its favor, hence It is widely known and re- spected. The fact is that there is a vast amount. of pain that cannot be relieved so quickly anda certain class of ailments which cannot be cured 80 promptly and permanently as by the use of this article. So it comes that all classes use it. ‘The mother procures it for the child who is af- flicted with Whooping-Cough or Weak Lungs. One complains of a Lame Back orLumbago and is recommended to try Benson's Capcine Porous Plaster. A. suffers with Rheumatism and finds that nothing removes the twinges like this Plus- ter. They are used for Sciatica, Kidney and Spinal Complaints, Weak Muscles, and Aches and Pains generally which are best treated externa ly through the pores. Worthless imitations of Benson's Cxpcine Plasters are sold, but imposition can easily be avoided and the genuine secured by secing that the word Capcine is correctly spelled. ‘TO RENT. South.

THOMAS AQUINAS. THE GREAT PHILOSOPBER AND THEOLOGIAN. Prof. Blackburn in the Advance. “Ono cdmfort is, that great men, taken up in are profituble company,” says Carlyle. “irs ago Hallain thought that only four or five Englishmen valued the fellowship of ‘Thomas Aquinas and read much of his huge folios. In 1835 Waddington said that the tomes of Aquinas, once read with such avidity, “are now confined to the shelves of afew profound students, whence they will neveragain descend.” But the present Pope would have them taken down and studied by his clergy. He has created a new interest in the ‘ Angelical Doctor” by re- quiring the Romish Bishops, priests, and profes- sors to tench his theology and ethics, The Jes- | uits are ordered to lay aside their text-books and casuistries for the system of the medieval St. Thomas. They would find him to be more prof- itable company than their Molina, Saurez, and Peter Dens. Other Popes have commended Aquinas, but Leo XIIL is so carnest in his orders that many Protestants are quite surprised by his late encyclical. Has he been reading Pas- cal's Provincial Letters with some conviction? What can be the motive of the Pope? Is it to resist the sclence and skeptical philosophies of ourday? Thomas might encourage a scientific spirit, if not rouse skeptical inquiry, for he was notless a philosopher than a theologian. Per- hups the motive is to lead Romanists from tho Jesuit theology and ethics toasystem framed by an admirerof Augustine. To know the Papal intentions we must wait for another refresbin; letter from the Pope; meanwhile it may be well to keep an eye upon the man whom he $0 highly commends, ‘Thomas Aquinas was born about 1227, of a splendid family, probably in the castle of his father, who was Count of Aquino, not far from Nuples. Three of bis sisters wedded Counts, and one became an ubbess. His two brothers were eminent Generals in the army of the Emperor Frederick IL, that reputed skeptic, fighter of Popes; ‘and “patron-of: reviving | learning, who persisted in having Aristotie translated. An uncle was abbot of the old Benedictine Convent of Monto Casino, in which Thomas studied from his 5th to bis 10th year. The Ind was then six years in the Philosophie University or Naples, steering clear of the in- fidelity imputed to its Imperial founder, the ter- rible Frederick. There he decided which of the two monastic orders he would join,—the Fran- ciseans, whose special nim wus ‘to preach to the neglected and the poor; or the Dominicans, who began to assume the painful charge of the in- erensing herctics, and adjust the delicate ma- chinery of the newly-improved Inquisition. He chose the latter—those Domini Cancs, the Lord’s watcb-dogs—and entered their conyent. His parents Were angry, especially his mother, Theodora, daughter of a Countess. Various arts, some of them the worst, were used to win him back to the world. He was seized and kept two years in the castle of his father, but he would not drop the friur's dress nor cease from theological studies. At length his mother yielded. If she and his brothers did not plan his escape, they connived at it,and_ by night, through a window, be gaincd his freedom. ‘The General of his Order sent him to Cologne, where Albert the Great, the most famous teach- cr of his day, was giving a new turn to scholastic philosophy by gathering materials for a larger system of thought. bert was inquisitive and daring, eager in pursuit of what we call the physical sciences; a sort of Cardinal Wiseman in that century, though far less scientific. If he were living now be would doubtless pry into the Darwinian theories, read Huxley and Hickel perhaps take. the evolution disease by way of experiment, and possibly come through it with the orthodox health of Joseph Cook. He had the Dominican eye for the church doctrines. His new pupil, the serious, meditative, abstract- ed Thomas, silent under loads of verbose lect- ures, was soon derisively called “the dumb ox of Sicily.” But Albert suid, “The bellowing of this ox will soon fill the world.” ‘Thomas be- came to Albert what Aristotie was to Plato, or- ganizer of matcriuls, the framer of rudely-col- lected ideas and urguments into a system, In him Scholasticism, with its three clements of logic, philosophy, and theology, reached its cli- max. He was not only a thinker, but also a man of prayer, find when preaching on the love of God and the glory of Christ he looked up saying, “More of thee, my Lord, is ail 1 ask.” His voice certainly did resound through all Latin Christendom by means of his lectures in various cities, his eloquent sermons .in'crowded churches, his commentaries on Holy Scripture, his writings on a wide range of topics, and es- peelally his sum of. theology, which overshad- owed all other medieval “Sumimas,” formed 2 storehouse of doctrines until the brighter days of Luther, made bin “the mora! master of Christendom for three centuries,” and lay side tho Libleonthe desk at the Council of ‘Trent xs the orthodox solvent of all disputed questions. Certain dogmas, slowly developing in the man Church,—such as transubstantia- tion, en sacraments, meritof good works, supererogation, saint-worship, mortal and venial sins,—having no real foundation in DivineScript- ure, required the support that only a subtle and profound mind could give them, and they re- ceived them from the ingenious Doctor. If the Pope's de n is to strengthen these dogmas by the authority of Thomas Aquinas, he confesses that nothing has been gained for them during six centuries, that they are in peril, and that Papal infullibility is not sufficient in their be- half. If that be his confession, we shall be glad to have more of it. ‘But underlying these dogmas there were inthe theology of Tho the sound old creeds and tho main elements of Ausustinianism, eo that he helped to preserve the continuity of the sys- tem with the ages before and after him, and even Duns Scotus did not break it. Jn general the two great aud long-enduring partics may be ranged thus: - Augustinians, {Semi-Pelagians, ‘Thomists, or Scotists or Fran- Dominicans, ¢ ciscans. Calvinists, Arminians. If the Pope means to favor this classification, Calvinists will be plensed, for he may come forth a Vigorous Jansenist, and Arminians will not regret to find him arrayed against the Jesutts. ‘At all events it may be made clear that Roman— ism has parties and schools _as diverse in the- ology as are the “sects” of Protestantism, and the next Bossuet may wisely deyote himself to the “ yariations” in the Roman Church. ‘Prof. Maurice hoped that the time is coming when more good muy be derived from Aquinas than avy age bas owed to him, and Protestant Burope may even yet do him justice. If there is such it benefit we are buppy to sce Leo XIIL so eager to secure it first for his own Church, for she greatly needs it. ‘Thomas held that reuson may be free and still not opposed to faith, and the Roman Church would be vastly profited by a right use of reason and of private judgment. SABBATH OBSERVANCE. VIEWS OF AN ISRAELITE. The Rev. Dr. Lansberg, Rabbi of the Temple B'rith Kodesh, preached at Rochester, N. ¥., re- cently on “Remember the Sabbath-Day, and Keep It Holy He said, as reported in the American Israelite: ‘The Sabbath, the most ancient, the most yen- erable, the most original institution of Judaism, has alone preserved our religion to the present day. Itisnotso much a physical as a moral necessity, and'to our fathers it was every week the recurring sweet messenger, not only on ac- count of the heavy burdens it took from their ‘versus shoulders, but on account of the spiritual free- dom it furnished and the opportunity it gave to live within the holy circle of their families. To the observance of the Sabbath algne the Jows owe their very existence, their beautiful family life, and the remarkable fuct that education was atall times more cultivated among them than among most other sects and nations. Some propose to transfer our Satvath upon the Christian Sunday,—u proposition mest ear- Restly opposed by a great majority of Rabitual Sabbath-breakers. Such @ transference is an utter impossibility, as it does not depend on our will to hallow this or day. The Jewish Subbath is the slow-grown product of centuries! The fruit of a soil, fertilized with floods of tears and the heart's blood of thousands and_thou- sands of Jewisk men, womeu, and children. In this country the Sabbath auestion has yet another aspect.” It is an honorable duty.to. use all our influence that every State law interfer- ing with religious liberzy and freedom of con- Rcience be abolished, and especially every luw which protects one day as a day of rest in prefer- enentoany other day. This was but Inte:y accom- plished in France, and it would go be, sooner or later, in this country if those who have the cause of liberty at heart would stand together, and if the Jews would, in practice ps well as in theory, acknowledge the holiness of their Sabbath. ‘hig, like every struggle for noble aims, im- poses sacrifices, but intinitly greater ones were made by our forefathers forthe sake of their re- Jigion in ages of darkness and of persecution. In Spain and Portugal, when 2 public profes- sion of Judaism was punished as a capital crime, the Jews did not hesitute to lose a day every week, but kept the Sabbath in their families, not fearing the danger to which they exposed their lives; and in tbat very period, amid the great- est suffering, Isracl led o life of buppiness. When the Sabbath was observed, children were obedient to their parents; they honored and re- spected thom, and they considered the parental home the sweetest, the most comfortable, and happiest spot on earth. ‘Do we not wish to restore such conditions in our midst? And should we not then desire to re- instate the Sabbuth in its pristine authority? If 0, then let us elevate the general tone of our morality; let us lift ourselves above the narrow circle of every-day life, above the mean consid- eration of greed and gain; let us acquire a taste for ennobling recreations and for enjoyments befitting a greater mind. The lute Dr. Einhorn said: “The Jews of America trade away the Sabbath and gamble away the Sunday.” [, suid the speaker, would use that word in thismanner: As soon as the Jews of America would stop gambling on Sun- day they would again commence to observe the Sabbath. There is nothing more demoralizing, nothing more apt to extinguish every spark of ideulism in man’s breast, than habitual gambling; and quite correct is the feel- ing of every honest man and woman who shrinks from coming in contact with a gambler and considers it below his or her dignity to as- sociate with him. And yet tn this country gambling hus gained some respectability, and the Jews are infected, in a terrible degree, by this common vice. ‘The card is the curse of American Judiism. How much that is good und noble might be accomplished if the baneful practice ut card-tables would not engnge the est time of our men and women, and thus waste away their energies and their talents! Forsooth, American Judaism would produce the richest and most beautiful fruits, such that would attract the attention and deserve the gratitude of the world! Those who fre in fe habit of spending all their {cisure time at the card-table ure unfit to celebrate or to appreciate a genuine and true Sabbath rest. If their own places of business are closed they wander to those of their friends, for they do not under- stand to enjoy the luxury of family life; and, though they literally keep the Sabbath,’ they jose every beneflt that mixht be derivea there- rom. ‘The speaker, in referring to the mothers and wives in Israel, deplored the fact that they in many instances do their shopping on the Sab- path day, and in many cases the hardest part of housework is done just on that day. In drawing to a close, the Doctor implored his hearers to clevate their monal standard; to learn to enjoy better and nobler amusements than that of playing at cards; to attend service every Friday night and every Saturday morning, and to make the Subbath a joyful and happy fe"nily reunion; then, said he, you would regain the taste for the old and time-honored Sabbath joy which we remember from ourchildhood. You would regain the respect of your children, and what at first would seem a heavy sacrifice would prove to yield rich fruits aud countless blessings, and a pappiness heretofore unknown would re dound upon you. You would gain inself-re- spect and in the respect of your fellow-men, and the rays of joy and prosperity would bright- en your whole lives and that of your children, EASTER-TIDE. QUEER ANCIENT AND MODERN CUSTOMS. Awork on antiquities gives account of various superstitions that crept in among the rites of Easter Even; such as putting out the fires in churches, and kindling them anew with flint; blessing the Easter wax, ete, In England, it was customary to light the churches with Paschal tapers. The custom of watching the sepulchre at Easter was aceremony ysed in churches, in remombrance of the solfliers' watching the sepulchre of our Savi 19 making of the, sepulcbre-wastrpractict tradition that the second coming of Christ would be on Easter Eve. The ceremony continued in England until the Reformation. The rites varied in different places. ‘The custom in question is still kept up in Bal- timore, unless recently abolished, at St. Alphon- so’s German Catholic Church. There are ttiree altars at the end of the church. One of the side altars is removed before Good Friday,.and the representation of a grotto substituted for it. ‘The sides, of sanded, marbleized paper, give the effect of its being cut from the solid rock. Nu- merous yas-jets burn at the side of the grotto; and, as they are shaded with glass of all colors, adazzling effect of light is produced. At the entrance is an arch of the most beautiful flowers and vines, so artistically arranged that one can eusily imagine they grew there. At the end of the grotto is a tigure rep- resenting Christ, with an angel at the head and atthe feet. On the chancel steps a crucifix is placed, and there devout worshipers pay a small sum for kissing each wound of Christ. ‘Those who can afford it kissthem all. Before the altura company of children chant contin- uuly. This singing is kept up day and night. When one party of singers is exhausted another takes its place. The church is crowded day and night. Asatlthe ceremonies are observed ina yery sincere and reverent manner, it is a touch- ing ‘spectacle even to those who call it “super- stition.” The day before Ensteris sometimes called “Holy Saturday. On the evening of this day, in the middle districts of Ireland, great prepa- rations are made for finishing Lent. ‘Many nfathen and dainty piece of bacon is put into the pot by the cotter's wife about 8 or 9 o'clock; and wo to the person who should taste it before the cock crows. At 12 1s heard the clupping of hands, and the joyous laugh mixed with an Irish phrase which signifies, “Out with Lent.” Allis merriment fora few hours, when the people retire; but they arise about 4 o'clock, tosee thesun dance in honor of the Resurrec- tion. ‘This custom is not confined to the humble Ia- borer and his family, but is observed by many highly respectable and wealthy families; differ- ent members of whom I have heard assert that they hud scen the sun dance on Easter morning. In a rare book entitled, ** Recreations for Ingeni- ous Head Pieces,” 160%, I find this popular notion alluded to in-an old ballad: “But Dick she dances such a way, no sun upon an Easter-Day, is half so finea sight.” There was an ancient custom at Twickenham, according to Lysons, of dividing among the young people in the’ church upon Easter-Day two great cakes; but, it being looked upon as 2 superstitious “ relick,”’ it was ordered by Parlia- ment (A. D. 1645) that the parishioners should forbear that custom, and, instead thereof, buy loayes of bread for the poor of the parish’ wit the money that should have bought the cakes. It appeitrs that the sum of £1 per annum is still charged upon the vicarage for the pur- pose of buying loaves for poor children on the ‘Thursday after Easter. Within the memoryof man these loaves were thrown from the steeple to be scrambled for. "A practice formeriy prevailed upon the Conti- nent of Europe of abstaining from eating flesh upon Easter to escape a fever for the whole year, This custom was condemned by the Pro- Vincial Council of Rheims in 1583, and by that of Toulouse in 1590. There wus formerly {a superstition that one must wear something new on Easter-Day in or- der to insure good luck during the year. In England, in the early part of this century, it was deemed unlucky for Easter to occur near Lady-Day (March 25). In 1818 Easter was the 2d of March; in November of that year Queen Charlotte diced. In 1826 Easter came on the 26th of March; that year great distress prevailed in the commercial world. These coinvidences served to confirm the belief of the supersti- tions. In St. Petersburg Easter-eggs play a very im- portant part. It is customary, on meeting an acquaintance, to press an egg into his nand. It is said to be amusing to visit the mar- ‘ets,’ where the painted eggs are sold. They are decorated in a8 variety of patterns; “but the usual inscription is the general Easter greeting, “ Christ is risen,” or “Eat, and think of Me.” The wealthier classes do not content themselves with veritable eggs, but they protit py the occasion to. show their taste and gallantry. Scarcely any mate- rial isto be mentio! that isnot made into Easter-eggs. ‘At the Imperial there are two halls filled with workmen who do nothing but cut tlowersand figures on crystal exgs. Part of theseare forthe Emperor and Empress. who give them away to members of the Court, and they in turn give them to their friends the next Easter,so that these Easter- eggs often travel amazing distances. Itis said that one which came from the fmperial palace pnssed through numberless hands, high and low, til at last its possessor let it fall and broke it, and its fragments were pitched into the Black Sea. A NEEDED REFORM. PROVISIONS FOR MAKING CHANGE IY CHURCH COLLECTIONS CALLED FOR. ‘New York Times. Black Run, as any map may fail to show, is situated in the Colorado mining district, and the Baptist church is presided over by an able and upon an anciéne’| bor good athletic: preacher. On the fourth Sunday in February last a coliection was taken up for the Franz Josef land mission, and the plate was passed around by one‘of the deacons. There was present a miner froju Red Gulch, who was anxious, as he phrased it, to “put up" forthe Franz Josef heathen, but whohad nocoinsmaller than a $20 gold piece. When the plate reached him he inquired ina low tone: “How much is the ante?” The deacon told him that he could contribute whatever he chose. * Then," replicd ~ ingenious miner, “I'l chip in a dollar,” and thereupon put in his $0 roid piece and under- took to withdraw $19. ‘This the deacon objected ‘tw on the ground that nochange was'given at that, establishment. A strugrieensued, in the course of which the plato was i1mset, and the entire con- sregution rushed to pick up the scattered money. Hudit not beea for the presence of mind of the presiding minister the entire amount alrendy collectéd would have becn -ab- sorbed by reckless persons cager to “jump the deacon’s claim,” as the Jocal pupers subsequent- jy expressed it. The minister, fortunately, ha} pened to be no old Calizornian who thoroughly understood the true way of deuling with a Col- orado assembly. Drawing a heavy revolver and leaning it on the edge of the pulpit, he demand- ed “order” ina stentorian voice. * The breth- ren,” he remarked, “ will plense take notice that I've got the drop on them, and any brother who declines to go to his seat, or who touches any of that money, will have a funeral at his house to- morrow at2 p.m. Our mining friend from Red Gulch Will plouse Jet yo the dencon’s necktie, or he isa dead man.” ‘bis uadress, together with the minister’s known reputation as a pistol shot, instantly restored order, and the deacon, picking up the scattered money, including the $20 gold Piece, resumed tho collection, and the service proceeded without further interruption. Ministers ot so much presencé of mind are, however, rare, and in almost any other church a disturbance like that which wus so promptly quelled at Black Rua would entail the loss of 4 good deal of money, and. perbaps, a dencon or two, Were it to be understood that change could be always taken from the plate, no such ditticulty would ever occur. It is this reform which ig now earnestly advocated by many in- telligent men, especially in our Eastern States. Were it to be'adopted, it is quite possible that there would bea perceptible increase in the average amountot achurch collection, since there would no longerbe any temptation for a frugal man with nothing sinaller than 4 dollar billin his pocket to refuse to contribute any- thing, andto sully his integrity by feigning to have left his purse in his other pair of trousers. GENERAL NOTES. . ‘The Congregational House in Boston has 20,000 volumes and 100,000 manuscripts relating to Congregational theology. The Presbyterian Theological Seminary at Danville, Ky., with a full Faculty and a library of 10,000 volumes, rejoices in six students, all told. The Standard calls the detachment of the “Salvation Army” now in New York“ a unique and somewhat grotesque band of religious re- formers.” It fails to see the need of the move- ment. i % The Middlesex Congregational Conference at its recent meeting in East Hampton, Conn., re- solved “that we greatly deprecate the use of tobacco in all its forms as demoralizing in its in- fluence and injurious to all human interests.” It is stated that at the close of last year there were in the world 10,207 members of the Order of Jesuits, an increase of 220 during the year and 1,524 since 1869. Of the whole number, 2.104 are missionaries, and the rest, 8,103 are occupied in teaching. The Atlanta (Ga.) Baptist Seminary has ninety students. Most of the freedmen under its charge ure studying for the ministry, and some of these ure making heroic efforts to obtain an education. One of thom had to sell: his ov coat. Another tried living on one meal a day. Tho wife of another takes in washing to sup- port him. Another worked for some months 23 a cool Itseems that the missionarics in New Britain who wero some time ago eaten by cannibals were natives of the Fiji and ‘Tonga Islands, und wore themselves descendants.of cannibals. ‘This issaid by some rigid expounders of Old Testa- ment law to throw light on the Biblical stute- ment that the sins of the fathers shull be visited on the children even unto tho third and fourth generations. A missionary tour around the world was some time ago undertaken by two members of the So- ciety of Friends in England, Mr. Isauc Shurpand Mr. Langley Kitching, who have successfully completed their mission in Africa, and almostas fully in Madagascar, and the latter gentleman hasjust returned to England. Mr. Sharp pro- poses, after.a short stay at Mudagascar, to pro- ced to Australia, and thence return home by way of America. A series of sermons on “ Ingersollism” is now being delivered. by the Rev. Irving A. Searles in the South Side Christian Church, Oakwood boulevard, near Cottage Grove avenue. The first lecture of the course was given on last evening to a large and deeply interested will result from the sermons. ‘The second of the series will be given to-night; subject, “The Bible Needed.” Free seats and a cordial invitation to all. ‘The Moravians are small in numbers, but the: are tremendous workers, and have always made aspeciulty of missions. At their recent mission- ary meeting in London, the Rev. J. B. Kane, Sceretary, stated that one member in every forty-five is engaged in the mission work. A gentleman present bore personal testimony to the devotion of the missionaries in going to live and die inthe most uncongenial and cheerless spots in the world, in order that they may preach brist to their fellow-men, The prayer-gauge has met with a test that would cither puzzlé or satisfy Tyndall. The Sun says: ‘it is gravely asserted at the Fulton strect, priyer-inecting tit a. lady has been helped by the prayers of her friends to conclude the sale of 2 picce of reul estate. She had to sell this property by certain day, but had no bid for it, She asked four of her‘friends to unite Jn prayer with her on successive evenings at 9 o'clock. They did so for two months, not meet- ing personally, but only in spirit. At Inst a bid for the property came, and in a few days the negotiation was finished. Accurious law prevails in the State of New York in regard to church property and usage. A majority vote canchange the form of wor- ship in any church or synigog and the minor- ity cannot resist or appeal. If in a Catholic churcha majority decides in favor of intro- ducing the Protestant worship, the question is settled for that community, and the minority, however large, must submitin patience. Thus # yote can change a Baptist church into a Methodist one, and a Presbyterian church can swallow an Episcopal ‘one if it can only secure votes enough to turn the Episcopalians out. It would seem at this distance that this law inter- feres with the vested rights of the minority, for the reason that the contributions made by the latter are_ for a specific purpose, which cannot be set aside. Within fifty years between $550,000,000 and $375,000,000 have been expended in church pur- oses from yoluntary contributions by people connected with the Church of England. Three thousand five. hundred and twenty new churches have been built during the last thirty years; 12,500 church schools have been estublished by the National Society since 18) beside the Bishop of London's fund of $2,500,000, $4,250,000 have been spent in the metropolis on churches, schools, and home-mission institutions in the Just five years. The aggregate amount expend- edby the English Church on missions to the colonists and the peathen is over $2,500,000 2 year. The philanthropy of the Church is fur- ther exemplified in numerous special gifts and in tho establishment of funds for the sociul, moral, and religious improvement of people, parishes, and ministers. In the course of a discussion in the Philadel- phia Methodist Conference, a clergymin stated that a Bishop had demanded and received $00 for giving a certain church the preacher whom they wanted. Thereupon Presidit Elder ‘Thomas stated the case us follows: * When the mutter came before the committee of the church that asked for the miniscer, Bishop Fos- ter told them that if they got the minister they asked for it would crowd another man to the wall. Then the committee offered the $500 as supplemental salary for bis support in another churge. The same church. ‘inity of Philadel- phia—did n similar thing a few years ago. The pastor thussecured was the Rev. Dr. Everctt.”” One brother disapproved of the “ hushing up of ministers by the payment of supplemental sala- rics” and another rather bitterly remarked, ‘- ‘The churches of the greatest wealth can have their wishes complicd with at all times.” ‘THE POFE AND IRELAND. ‘A Washington special to the Cincinnati Com- mercial say's that Mrs. Gen. Sherman has written a letter to the editor of a local paper to.defend his Holiness the Pope against newspaper com- ments beause he has given nothing to the suffer- ing in Ireland, who are almost exclusively ad- herents of the Catholic faith. A cable dispatch the other duy stuted that theCounty of Armagh, Treland, had just sent $8,000 to Rome as ** Peter's pence,” and the comments referred to were to the eifect that this money might better have been expended for food for the famishing than poured into the overflowing coffers of the Vat- ican, from which nothing had as yet been con- tributed. to the starving Catholics in Ireland. ‘Mrs. Sherman states that the cable is not trust- yworthy, and the press dispatches from Europe are not to be relied upon when they refer to the lass-cutting manufactory | afnirsof the Catholic Church, but she refers to a letter from Cardinal Nina, of which she in- Closes a copy, who stuted that * the tidings of the suffering in Ireland have beyond measure distressed the Holy Father,” and he hus decided “to devote to the aid of the poor in Ireland the sum of 10,000 lire.” .A lire is less than 20 cents, which makes the proposed contribution of the Pope (not yet mude) less than $2,000, and yet he bas just received $8,000 in “Peter's pence ” from a single county in ireland. No suffering exists in Armagh County, from which this contribution comes, but in the adjoining County of Monaghan the suffering is very great. PERSONALS. The Rev. G. A.

SAINTLY SMALL-TALK. Lay sermons—Easter eggs. The Rev. Dr. Morehouse, Secretary of the American Baptist Home Mission Society, who has just returned from theSouth, tells this story to show the need of educating the colored preachers: A colored minister, in explanation of the “cherubims,” informed his. hearers that “there were cherry beams across the temple, and eg Ghost came down and saton the cherry I know it’s a fact, parson, jist a8 you say, ‘That sin is # gutherin’ force, 5 An’ increasin’ around us day arter day, Which is rough on your business, of course; But | beg to remark in passin’ along: ‘That it ain’t all outside of the church, An’ there's thousands x singing the piety song ‘Thet’s a gwine to git left in the lurch. Old“ Speckle” rose from off her nest And Kled with much. vigor, Asif to y, “That ege"s my best, No hen can lay a bigger.” While Jonnie, standing near the gate, In mute contempt was gazing, As if he could not tolerate The fuss the hen was raising. His protest took her down a peg— He rnised his voice to say it— “You fink you're simart—Dod made zat egg— You toodn’t help but lay it!” An eminent divine from New England, travel- ing in 'Texns for his health, impaired by arduous clerieal duties, upon artiving at one of the towns, went in search of the barber's shop for repairs and improvements. On entering an es- tablishment of this kind he observed a big double-barreled gun leaning aguinst the wall. Having a constitutional awe of firearms, he hastily asked the burber if the gun was loaded. Anhalf-shuved native who occupied the chair’ turned round in his ixther-beaten face and ex- claim “Stranger! ef you're in an all-tired hurry, you'll find a six-shooter whut is loaded in my cont-tail pocket!"”—Hour, Said Frenchman to his friend, as the two sat sipping absinthe on the sidewalk of one of the great boulevards: ‘You should hawe been at the concert last night, the music was so charm- ing that L wus quite carried away by it.” “ In- deed,” replied the other, “quite carried away, did’ you suy?” ‘Yes, indeed.” continued the enthusiast, “I felt for x time as though I were in Heaven. Won't you go to-night?" “Well,” answered his friend, *{ hardly think I shall be able to, butif, a3 you say, the music can carry one away, even to Heaven, I will go home at ‘once and try to persuade my wife to go.” CHURCH SERVICES, UNITARIAN.
