Correspondence London Times. The so-called Greek Easter, which began yesterday morning, is a time of great re- joicing for the Eastern orthodox world. From the Gulf of Finland to the banks of the Nile, and from the shores of the Adriatic to the frontiers of Persia, the Christian popu- lation—Russians, Roumanians, Bulgarians, ferhs, Greeks, Armenians, Syrians, and Sopts—serapulously abstain during several cays from their ordinary worldly occupa- tions, and commemorate, each in his own weuliar way, the great event which forms the basisof their common religion. Through- . out the whole of that vast region, wherever there is an orthodox church or chapel, the faithful, after having fasted and confessed. their sins, assemble on Saturday night and await the announcement of the glad tidings. Precisely at midnight the ery is raised, “He is risen!” and at once, with singing and thanting, bell-ringing and noisy demon- strations, the people loudly express their joy, their gratitude, and their hopes of eternal salvation. In different localities the details vary according to the topographical and political conditions. At Moscow, for ex- ample, in the great square of the Kremlin, when the bells of the “forty times forty” churches send forth simulianeously their merry peal, thousands of tapers are suddenly lighted, and as the procession of priests in full canonicals issues from the cathedral the melodious chanting of the choristers is drowned by the thunder of artillery. Here, fn Constantinople, there isno such grand, impressive scene, for the orthodox have no great cathedral with spacious square in front, big guns for their own religious ceremonies; but the bells are tolled, the hymns arechant- ed, and the part of artillery is played by pis- tols and crackers. In every town and village of the Empire where there is a Christian pop- ulation some demonstration of the kind is made. For a few hours the ordinary jeal- ousies and hatreds of the rival Christian na- tionalities are forgotten, and perfect unanimi- uot, thay ht and feeling reigns in the East- lurch, ‘The venerable centre of this great section of Christendom is the Patriarchate of Con- Stantinople, situated in the quarter called Phanar”” on the southern bank of the Golden Hom: The Patriarchate is not, as it tae been sometimes called, “the Vatican of the Fast,” forthe Patriarch has not the pre- lon to be Christ’s vicar upon earth, and of Caeptotess to be the infallible exponent Piste istian doctrine, He is among the uri tua only’ Primus inter pares, and his ratition ot ending nowhere beyond the torial ete Ottoman Empire, is terri that cr limited within those frontiers by Jerusal his fellow-Patriarchs of «Antioch, restri ed gad Alexandria.

Facing us n large house contain- ing the Patriareh’s reception-rooms and _pri- yate apartments; to the right the Chancel- lerie, and to the left the Patriarchal Church, —a small, insignificant building, withoutany architectural preteusio: We enter the building in front of_us, aud in a few mo- ments are ushered into the presence of hi Holiness, a tall, broad-shouldered, pow: fully-built man of about 45 years of age, with regular, handsome features, large soft eyes, and a flowing black beard, slightly tinged with gray. He is dr in the plain black costume of_an ordinary.-monk, and his man- ner is amiable and dignified without any tinge of affectation. His lingui: acauire- thents are respectable even in. this polyglot city, for in the course of a few minutes he converses freely in Greek, Turkish, French, German, and Roumanian, Sand his gift of tongues is probably not confined to these languages. If I may judge from a few mi! utes’ conversation on Bulgarian affairs, very delicate topic,—I should say that he is a man of lacge and liberal views, naturally in- elined to look at things from the Hellenic standpoint, but quite ready to listen cally to arguments directed against his opinion Our conversation, which gradually took the form of an amicable discussion, is unfortu- nately interrupted by the arrival of some dies, who come to offer their Easter con- gratulations, and, after sweets and coffee have Deen served in Eastern fashion, we all pass into the large reception-ruom, Here a considerable number of dignitaries assemble, amoung them the diplomatists who belong to the Eastern Orthodox Church. ‘The Patriarch his seatatthe endof the roomona dais ornamented by a.cangpy of red velvet. To his right sit. the Greek Minister, the Rus- sian Chargé_ d?Affaires, the Servian repre- sentative, and Mr. Zariti, the Suitan’s banker, well known for his princely liberality to all educational and benevolent, undertakings; to his left sit the Grand Logothéte, the Grand Orator, and some minor dignitaries, all dressed in the ordinary civil uniform of ‘the Porte. Below the diplomatists are six Arch- bishops, members of the Holy jad, and near thé door.a motley crowd, including the ubiquitous British “tourist in character- istic unceremonious costume, not quite in keeping with the surroundings. ‘The centre of the room is occupied by a long table, on which are branches of lighted tapers and the Patriarchal mitre and vestments. ‘After a pause of afew minutes, the six Arch- pishops and minor ecclesiastics, advancing in pairs towards the dais, prostrate themselves and k the Patriareh’s hand. The cere- mony of robing his Holiness then begins, and is performed by deacons in rich dresses of silver brocade, ornamented with gold and orange-red embroidery. 1 need not describe or endeavor to explain the zorgeous costume of the Patriarch, each detail of which has a andthe Mussulman authorities reserve the- spiritual or symbolical significance; but I cations, the costume worn by the old Byzan- tine Emperors, of whom the Patriarch is, in a certain. sense, the .suecessor. Standing close Behind him, I could see on the lef! shoulder of_his richly-embroidered mantle the ancient Imperial arms, the double-headed Imperial eagle, holding in its claws the sceptre andthe sword. : ‘As our lungs were being very severely tried by the clouds of incense, and our ears by the choir, which sent forth harsh strains, much too nusal to be melodious, it was a_ relief to take our places in the procession and get out into the open air. On arriving at the top of the staircase we looked down on the densely crowded court,—the closely packed up-turned faces and red fezzes presenting the appear- ance of acarpet with a curious orlzinal de- sign. Through this crowd the Patriareh and the rest of us had to force our way _in ‘order to make the round of the church. ‘The vigor- ous efforts of the Turkish troops, directed by a fat: little, red-faced officer of gendatness did not prevent us from being radly jostled, After a good deal of persistent pushing and elbowing, not. quite befitting the solemnity of the occasion, we. arrived at the main en- trance; and here the “tug of war” awaited us. ‘The chureh was so full that the Greek blue-jackets, who had been intrusted with the duty of keeping a passage clear, had been overpowered by the crowd, and, not wishing to use violence, had given up the task in despair. Every inch of standing room and me coigns of vantage which were never intended for spectators were fully occupied, otf was only by a judicious combination of¥patience and muscular energy that MG suéveeded in foreing our way up the central aisle and reaching the choir, where a space had been reserved for us. As soon as we had taken our places, the service, conducted by the Patriarch in person, began. I need not describe it in detail, for ‘it differed little from ordinary Vespers, except that, the pels for the day were read in various Tae unges.—Greek prose, Greek, epic _nctre, atin, French, Slavonic, Turkish, and Ara- Dic,—and an exquisit old Byzantine melody was sung, as if to show how fearfully the Greek taste in, the matter of church mmsie has degenerated since ,the time of Buasil the Great. As a whole, the service was very impressive; but , the - effect was greatly marred by the irreverent _atti- fude and irrepressible loquacity of the audience, and more than once we were startled by pistols being fired in the vestibule. There was no evideyce of the deep vencra- tion and religious fervor which would cer- tainly be shown on such a solemn occasion by any race of Northern Europe. In this respect a curious parallel inight be drawn between the modern Greek and their old. Pagan forefathers. Set it was difficult to force our way into the church, it was doubly difficult to force our way out; for as soon as the Patriarch began to move toward the door all present tried to reach him in order to kiss his hand. As exhortation was utterly useless, the bine- jackets had to be ealled in, aud something jnore than moral pressure had to be use With great difficulty we reached the door, and, crossing an angle of the court, qounted the outside staircase by which we had descended. At the top, the Patriarch turned round, raising a large golden cross. which he carried in his fight hand, gave his _ benediction Surbl et ‘orbi-” ‘The crowd | below instantly doffed their, fezzes, but, instead of respectfully bowing their heads, as might have been expected, they set up a lusty cheer in honor of his Holiness. On_ seein: this demonstration, one of the ecelesiastica dignitaries knitted his brows and remarked to me apologetically that this was a new cus- tom and most unbecoming, but he-added in extenuation that the present Patriarch is very popular, and that the people cannot be pre- sented from expressing their feelings towards tims. Z ‘The Patriarch returned to the re¢eption- hall, and all present, ecclesiastics and la men, kissed his hand, and received from him a litue pos bag containing three Easter- eggs. Assoon asthe crowd had dispersed new visitors began to arrive, and his Holi- ness had to spend a great part of the day in receiving the customary congratulations. For all who came, Whether rich or poor, he had at least a few_ kindly words, and all de- parted agreeably impressed with the inter- may say briefly that it is, with certain modifi-’ Ww. Among these visitors were y the le reeks of the anttal come "t ea officials at the Porte, and others men of wei ight in the financial world of Galata. GENESIS, THE STORY OF THE FInST CITAPTER. Dr. 0. B. Warring, in the Ailiance. Of all the theories ever advanced to get rid of trouble, the Chasm theory, as Mr. Perren’ styles it, is the most unsatisfactory. It meets the needs neither of geology nor of the Bible. As to th Bible. othe former, Mr. Perren says: Itis, I believe, a fact that there has never been found a single fossil of any of the now existing species which could possibly con- nect our period with the Tertiary!?. Why, the very names of the divisions of the Ter- tiary nre founded upon the proportion of liv- ing species whose remains they contain! In the last, the Pliocene, more than one-half the mollusks are of existing species, according to Nicholson’s “ Ancient Life History,” page 523, 40 to 95 percent. Of plants there were, in abundance, oaks, poplars, maples, mug- nolias, cinnamon, figs, palms, ete, cte., Dana’s “ Manual Geology,” page 497. There were deer, foxes, wolves, bears, elephants, tigers, ete., ete., certainly enough “ possibly te connect our period with the Tertiary,” even though the species in case of the verte- brates were different. Nor does the Chasm theory get along any better with the Bible. Mr. Perren says the heavens, and earth, and sea, with all the ani- m id plants whose remains in . the rocks are the reason why that theory was devised, were) wide before the six days. How, then, doegit help matters to say that God recon- struCted our earth’s surface, brought order out of chaos, and made new races of ecreat- ures? For the: commandment expressly says, ‘God made the heavens, and earth, and sea, and all that there is [thi cludes cer- tainly the fossils] in the six days.” I don’t sue how Mr. Perren’s theory helps us one Jota. . Perhaps, however, you.will ask how I_get along withthe statement “for in six days the Lord made,” ete. Well, one way would be to deny that the commandment says So. Mr. Perren doubtioss is 4 Hebrew. se! holar, anu if not, he ean turn to his English Bible, and there he will find the word is placed in italics, both in Exodus, U, and in Exodus, x , 17, which, as everybody knows, denotes that the word does not occur in the Hebrew. Moreuver, the days are in the genitive con- struct, and therefore it literaliy reads, ‘for ahexad of day was the Lord creating the heavens,” ete. i. in some unmentioned relation to a set 0: days. Contrast the in- definitness of this with the defitness of Gen., xi. 4. Day there, of necessity, means an in- definit period, -and the writer expressly says that it was in that day the Lord made heaven and earth, The preposition “in” is found in tho Hebrew. ‘fhere are other reasons which would oc- cupy too much time. 1. give the above from its brevity, not because I think it is the best answer that I could give. Besides the days, there are, as already inti- mated, many other curious things in this ac- count,- Why is light pronounced good be- fore God divided the light. from the dark- ness ? and before day and night? And why is the expanse (firmament) not pronounced good? And why does say ‘There was an evening, and there was ‘a morning, the second day?*? That expres: nowhere else in the Hebrew. Why does the writer speak of signs and seasons, und days and years, and nothing about months, which to a Jew were most tmportant? ‘These and other questions lead to resultsof the highest interest. e ~~ If this story be an epitome of our world’s history, it was impossible in the days before anything was known of geology and astron< omy forinen to understand it,“ Itis no argument ‘in its favor that it never would square with science. Sefence was too full of etror. ‘To-day 1 believe there Is an entire agreement, so far as sciznce is herself in the right. Nor need ence put on airs, and claim prisent infallibility.. She has tuo often shifted her ground to overawe us by any claim to ommiscience. In the department of physics, ineluding astronomy and geology, A the agreement is simply’amazing. In Biology too little yet known to warrant any dox- atic statements. Thad intended to speak of certain matters in the editorial column, but must confine my- self toone. It is gratifying to see that the tone of apology is dropped and that the un- answerable arguinent derived from the re- sults of this Book in the world is insisted upon, I wm sorry, however, that you “’Phe impeachmeiit of the Biblical geology is of no account whatever,” and by Biblical geology I understand you to mean the story of Creation in, Genesis. It does not seem to me of so small account, Ifafriend should tell us soberly of certain transactions, and his statements, on investi- gation, should turn out to be untrue, our faith in hi knowledge would be shaken. His honesty could be vindicated only at the expense of his knowledge. ‘The most charitable thing would be to impute his error to bad information. But if we had absolute knowledge that, at the time he made the false, statements, he knew the exact truth. but chose to tell us sume- thing else, our judgment would be far more severe. So in regard to this story, If it be froin God, then it becomes those who can_ to ive some reasonable explanativgn why the i-Wise should have given us 9 narrative wholly false, or of truth and_ falsehood mingled in some unknown proportion, when He knew perfectly well the whole truth, and when, so far as we can see, it would have served His purpose just as well. But, on the other hand, if thestory be exactly, literally, and wholly true, selence by and by will get into position where she can and, must see it. And, then, what an argument for the truth of revelation, how specially fitted to meet the requirements of a scientitie age! 3 ‘No question could arise ag_to revelation, or miracles, or the reliability of testimony. Here would be an ever-living iniracle that friend and foe alike could examine in the quict of his own study. Z Sofaras I can judge, advanced to test the matter, through the work of the third period, e@., to. the com- pletion of the dry Iand and the production of the higher vegetation, and its pronounced completion, ‘These two great transactions were completed in what geologists call the Pliocene. .After that svientists have as yet but little that they can_agree upon, ‘Try the experiment so far. Take Genesis, in its simplest, most literal meaning, and see what an agreement there is. I give you a litle sample of what Linean, é Moses: says the carth was once without form and void. And. science says it was once part of a gas-like, nebulous ma Moses before motion was imparted, was in darkness, and science says that Ii isa mode or result of motion. Moses at- tributes matter and motion to the one Great First Cause. Philosophy does the same. | Moses put light next after motion, and phi- Josophy says light was the first visible result of, motion. e ‘Moses says the light was good before God we are far enough divided between the light and the darkness; and science says that the poor, weak light of the nebulous matter became good light, such as we now have, before any part of the solar system had so far cooled down as to cast a shadow, and so, us now, to divide the light from the darkness. Thus you n Wy fo on, and your wonder and amazenient will increase at each step. ARCHBISHOP PURCELL, WIS DEPOSITION IN REGARD TO DIOCESAN PROPERTY. + Cincinnatt Gazette. The Archbishop, after answering a number of questions in regard to his own previous hjstory, was examined as to the title of the réal estate belonging to the Church. The title of the real estate of the Diocese was vested in J. B. Purcell by the authority of the Catholic Church and the consent of the people in his capacity 2s Bishop. No limit was placed upon his power to control or dispose “of the property, the only condition being the faithful administration of it for the purpose for which it came into his hands. Congregations had no right to dispose, direct, or restrain the disposition by him of any property without his consent. The Bishop in consultation with the people was the only judge of expedicncy with rela- tion to the property ofthe Church. If the people did not approve of the Bishop's acts their recourse lay in an appeal to Rome. ‘This authority he transferred to his brother, Edward Purcell, who managed teinporal matters in the Archbishop’s name. The de- posits received by Edward Purcell were re- ceived for the purpose of paying for lots, for churehes, schools, charities, orphan-asyluns, and houses of refuge. The Cathedral lot was bought some tine in 183, and the ehurch wwas dedicated in 1844. ‘The Archbishop's in- come at that time was from the contributions the COSt 3120,- of the Peaple. The lot co thedral, the sholl of the 20, 000, ‘The money was ra by charity and disbursed by Edward Purcell. When asked to specify the property bought by charity, the Archbishop said: - “ JT refer to the Cathedrablot and the Cathe- dral building, and the Orphan Asylum lot and building, ard the property on ‘Third and Plom, and then the property on Bank street and Cutter street, and the seminary. Mr, Considine gave us the property, but a bad title, and we had to pay for it. All the cost of the Cathedral grounds and improvements was paid for ont of charitable contribution with the exception of what remained unpaid. As (listinguished from deposits, the amonnt received from charity was not more than $50,000. [Te could not state how much money receiyed from depositors was used. Edward Purcell was the exclusive agent in receivin, and handling this money. Mr. Springer paid $4,000 for the bells and contributed money for many other things, among the items $1,000 for the steuple. ‘he other charitable donations were from, depositors, and from Vienna, Lyons, and Munich, from the So- cieties of the Propaganda, The $50,000 men- tioned was expended only in part at the Ca- thedral, a large portion of it going to other institutions. For the seminary property the contributors were mainly John and James Slevin and Edward Pureell, Mr. Carr gave about 10,00, and Mr. Boyle $5,000. ‘Mr. Slevin spent $22,000.” |The witness said he had no record that ‘vould enable him to speak more definitly in regard to these mat- ters. In regard to the paintings in the cathedral the Archbishop suid that some of them were nted to tls predecessor, Ed- ward Fenw others he bought himself. ‘The painting behind the altar and the Mary Magdalen werebrought trom Paris. THay- den’s picture, “Christ's Entry into Jerusa- lem,” cost $3,000,gThe organ cost $5,000. The marble altars Were purchased and paid ‘Upon being shown an account book in which was an entry dated Jan. 7, 1879, to the effect that the Diocese was responsible for a balance due of $30,327, signed by KE. Pureell and certified by J. B. Purcell, he:said that he atlhered to the statement that the Diocesewas responsible, though he had been much aston- ished at the time to discover that the amount was so large. The Arch bishop was asked to pola outany authority .which authorized him to appoint his brother or nny one else to receive money on deposit and pay interest thereon, and to loan it out to other parties. Ve stated that he could not point out authority which him that power; it was left to the discretion of the B ops. dle said that the power was given him when he became a Bishop. He was asked whether there was anything in his briefs or bulls by which he received his appointment which related thereto. Ie said there was not, but that the power was to be found in the’ New Testament. But no special au- thority from that source was pointed out. Jle was asked if his brother ever took out a license as a banker. He replied that he did not know that he had, or that he ever paid any tax on deposits, or ever made any re- turn to the Government. In relation to the transfer of property to his brother, he stated that it was made unacr the advice of promi- nent men in the congregation. The ques tion of the cathedral property was an over- sight. He thought that it was more proper that the assigniuent should come from his brother than from himself, since he ocenpied the position of Archbishop. ‘The fact. that deposits were taken by his brother in his name was generally known to’ the cathedral nezregation and to the Papal See, though, tid, he had never formally made the mat- ter know: ‘When he was made Bishop the only debt of the Diocese which he knew of personally was one of $400 for the Episcopal residence, Hie had understood, however, thata Turge sum of money was sent to Bishop Rei, at Detroit, which has never been accounted for, An intoresting reminiseence which was elicited during the progress of the deposition was in regard to the litle church of St. Pius, a wouden building situated on the corner of Vine and Liberty” streets, which was taken by the congregation on Sunday, placed on Wheels, aud drawn by six yoke of oxen down to the present site of Si Chureh, where it’ was set down, and used by the En- glish and German speaking people alter- nately. eG © eee In respect to the custom of different coun- tries concerning the property of the Church, he said he knew that in some of these coun- tries the Government claimed the right to ose of the churches, their furniture, property, paintings, and everything else. le was asked ‘whether it had been his intention on, lis deposition to intimate that the — acquisition of h property, or. its, holding sion, Was not necessarily gove by the luws of the country where it was situated, ly in regard to real estate. His re- a Bishop in the United States takes a solemn oath not to sell or ¢ or in any way to_alicnate his Epi: manse; that it was diflicult to state wha but he understood it to mean in which the Bishop lived and the property belonging: to the house, and every- thing else connected therewith. Ile said that he didn’t think the Government had any right to take $1 of the money of the Bishop jest; that he did not understand that the iything to do with the holding and transmission of property so long aS he did what the luw allowed; that the Bishop could do whatever was just without interference on the part of the law, _ The, deposition of Archbishop Pureell in relation to the diocesan debt and as to his action in disposing of the Chureh property filed Inst Saturday.

At the recent convocation of Canterbury held in St. Paul’s Church, London, Eng., the litany, the hymns, and the sermon were in Latin. The Eucharistic candles lighted on the altar of Bishop Seymour’s cathedral in Springfield, lil, lust Sunday, threaten to kindle a small conflagration in the Episcopal Church of the West. Bishop Robertson, of St. Louis, can find no siflicient warrant for the alleged innoyation, and has no hesitancy in saying so.—Globe-Demuerat. Areligious newspaper published at Tou- Touse, France, relates the following incident: “\ priest at the railway station lately asked aman to hold a for him. During the absence of the clergyman the man took a sip outof the flask, thinking that it might be bray. It was, however, water from Lourdes. The effect of the draught was that the nan renounced the Protestant religion, became. a Catholic, and begged to be al- lowed _to make w confession on the return of the priest.” The congregation which has been organ- ized under the prospective pastorate of the lev. Mr. Macrae, at Dundee, Jand, has adopted a provisional constitution embody- ing both Presbyterian and independent feat- ures. ‘Che administration is intrusted to ders under the superintendence of the min- ter, with an ultimate appeal to the people. One-third of the elders will retire every two years, but still be eligible for reélection, A fornia is in course of preparation which is intended to present the vital elements of Shristian faith and life with suflicient brevity: to permit of its forming a part of the regular worship, like the Apostles’ Creed and the Lord’s Prayer. ‘The congregation now num- bers 1,200 members.

Bishop Fallows, of the Reformed Episcopal Chureh, has concluded arrangements for 2 series of lectures to be given in his church, corner of Washington and Carpdnter streets, onsueccessive Sunday evenings by cler; men of different denominations, each one’s theme being why he is of the denomination to which he belongs.

England to the Catholic Church that they meant, but the growth of the Catholic Church in England. They expected from their prayers nothing sudden, nothing vio- lent, nothing evidently miraculous, nothing inconsistent with the free will of their coun- trymen, nothing out of keeping with the ma- jestic march and slow but sure triumph of truth and right in this turbulent world. The regular monthly meeting of the ‘Em: manuel Church auxiliary to the Women’: Foreign Missionary Society occured Thu day evening at the residence of Mr. A. Doty, on Paulina street, and was a very en joyable affair. ‘The company numbered about sixty, and the evening was spent in discussing mm y matters, listening to some excelle sic and recitations, and par- ut collation served by the y.. The members were entertained im a musical way by Misses Crane, Remick, and Carroll, with an address by. the pastor, and recitations by Mr. Kellozz. The President of this Society d ereat credit for the manner in which she has con- ducted these meetings of late, and for the in- terest awakened by the entertaining pro- grams she has arranged for each meeting of the Society. ‘There was witnessed in London afew ‘oa curiots repetition of the act of im reported by Pepys and Defoe. ‘There was a big fire in Aldersgate street in & the city. While it was raging a young man, wildly attired and of wild appt at through the crowd bearing v banner with the startling inscription: “Come out of Babylon. The great city shall be utterly destroyed by fire.” Solomon Eagle tore through the reets 200 years ago With his “ Woe, woe to e wi! y.” Sulomon made a good 2. spanic of his performances, but, the cireum- stances of the moment favored him. On this occasion, with seventeen fire-cngines laying on the fire, people were not. partteularly afraid that 1687 would be repeated, and so they> blocked the banner-beare: made ribbons of his ensign, and pitched him in the puddle made by the flowing water-cocks. In the end the police had ‘to protect, the prophet.

The Methodist thus kindly encourages the henthen’s prospects for immortality: The notion that a heathen can, by any possi- bility, be damned for the lack ‘of faith in a Christ of whom he never beard is too barbarous: and too plainly contradicted by the spirit and teaching of the Gospel to deserve scrious 2t- tention. But whnt must he do to be saved? In the xbsence of the Gospel he ean do nothing better than he is doing. In bis irresponsible ig- orniuve und darkness the things he does to be ved may he esseni Tf he throws child Into the Ganges, or himself under Jug- germaut, or worships an idolimade with his own bunds, his acts ure intrinsically wrong; but if done in obedience to his conscience they are right actions to him, und evince a pul righfeousness which would gladly respor cluims of, theGospel_ when “presented! to_him. The fuct that he docs anything to be saved is 0 better ground of hope for bin thin multitudes in Christendom can have, for they are doing “And the fuct that he does those things is ws good u ground to hope that he will be saved through the mercy of God in Jesus Christ. ag any Christian can pave that he Will be saved for anything he can do.

SUNDAY MUSINGS. late curate of the Te hi she Rev. Mr. Pentecost tells of a man who was converted by seeing in the theatre the sign: ‘This.is the way to the pit” When 2 dog wanders into a Cincinnati church the sexton puts him out with a whoop anda hurrah, but when a hog is the intruder the deacons get up and, with sweetly sooth- ing musie, gently induce him to goout, A Cincinnati congregation would never tolerate cruel violence to a hog. : ‘ ‘A tew days since—this is a fact—a little fellow anxious to find s home for a pet kit- ten, whore it would stand a right good chance of being well brought up, earried it to the residence of one of our clergymen, asking him, as he responded to the knock, if he would like a kitten. ‘ Oh, J don’t know,” ; “what kind of a kitten haye you to” A Unitarian kitten, sir.” “No, I guess not of that sort.” A ‘few mornings after the littie fellow appeareil at the same door, rang the door-bell, and again found himself face to face with the “man of the house.” ‘The boy repeated:-his offer of the juvenile feline. “ But arn’t you the same y that called the other day, ‘and isn’t this fey due little Unitarian Kitten you had SCO d to thé * but. h eyes open now, and he’s an. Episcopal en.” It is fair to surmise that the ‘op ing of its cyes”.proved the salvation of pu and found for it an agreeable and con- genial home. “ I believe in personal devil,” said Mr. Moody, at a rev! meeting held in a remote Western city. “That’s true, that’s true— you're right there, stranger,” said an old farmer, rismg from his seat in his earnest- ness. Whereupon a calm-faced, placid-look- ing woman -rose- from: the other end ot the pew, took him by the ear, and led him slowly out; and the assembly knew then for the first time that the old man’s mind was filled with domestic thoughts instead of the hereafter. Ata certain church in one of the suburban districts of Boston a new pastor has recently been settled. His people are rapidly becom- ing attached to him b as pastor and preacher, and naturally he is frequently the subject of conversation at the family board in the presence of the little folks.
