Very well, then, Jethim look to see how his Lord acted. Jesus came to Israel, God’s people. But they were ecclesiastically controlled by tradition. . Did Jesus’go outside to deliver His message, or did He speak where He was? He de- clined to go out. It was God’s people, under the domination of wrong ideas,—ideas which had deseended from the fathers: But to’ be God’s witness, then and there, was the work of Jesus, ‘The disciple, no matter who he may be, if providentially placed where he is to speak, or to bear witness, looking to God for instruction, learns of his Lord the mode of his own conduct and speech. God works in-his convictions, and he is then faithful to God by being faithful to his convictions. But at once the question arises, How shall order be maintained, and utter confusion and wreck of the faithful be prevented, if every one is left to his own convictions 2° Well, that depends on what the church is. lf itis sinply a haman institution, it must be carried ou as other such institutions are.

AS ENERGETIC PROTEST AGAINST MAN- a MADE DOGMAS. ‘Some weeksago the Ontario Congregational Association propounded a series of questions tothe Kev. Myron Adams, of Rochester, N. T.,,whose utterances in tha pulpit were deemed not to be in strict harmony with the teological faith of the Congzegatioval Church. To the question, which embraces the whole subject matter of the inquisition, “Can you heartily assent to the confession of faith which is the basis of our Associa- tion, and which is contained in its Constitu- tion? the Bev. Mr. Adams made the follow- ing reply, for which he has been disfellow- shipped: This is the great in reality secondary | ‘accept it, or assent to"it that a Bond of feHows! Leannot Lewd t to'it, is ‘| sole authority. guide, teacher), Christ; and all ye are brethren, Asif they stand upon a common footing, owing allegiance to one authority, and that not proceeding from themselves, or of theirown appointment Now, does an: one among Protestants claim that our stand- ards are inspired? And, if not, then why demand allegiance to them? For ecclesiast- ical order? Ah, but if the truth of God working in human souls is not sufficient to produce a vital order, then these extraneous and artificial standards cannot effect it, though they may make a sort of harmony. You can shape and plant ‘posts in rows, by regulation, but no power except that of God can cause an orchard of trees to grow, and in that last case order is a secondary considera- tion: in the first case it is the first considera- tion. In the Church of God a vital agreement is brought about and conserved by each mem- ber’s dependence upon God and the word of His truth. If two have agreement, it is be- cause of the inworking of truth, and not be- cause they determine by some means to agree. It is the unity of the Spirit. ‘Nevertheless, 10r temporary convenience we have our “standards,” as we call them. Ought they to have force upon the con- science? Ought they to be permitted to lord it over us, or ought we to make them con- veniently “serviceable in some legitimate way? They cannot make fellowship, nor can they interpose a bar to fellowship. ‘Those who sincerely Jove and betieve in the Word of God, and abide it it, will soon or late come to substantial agreement, but not by any iettering of thought or suppression of a free investigation. : ‘To me it seems very evident that the philo- sophical-religious systems are crumbling. I do not believe them to be safe, and for one I desire to be free from them, 1 maintain that they usurp a place in the Christian Church which does not belong to them.

I do not believe it would be rizht for me vol- untarily to withdraw from these relations. It my brethren think otherwise as respects-‘my relation with this Association, itis for them to decide according to: their convictions. Meanwhile, let me remind you that the issue isa very grave one.

J. MOR- - GAN a ‘To the Eattor of The Chicago Tribune. Moreax Pax, IL, Jan. 6.—I have been for many years a constant reader of Tue ‘Tnrpose, have great admiraton for its abill- in moldmg publie opinion, and find much more satisfaction in agreeing. with the views. presented in its columns than in differing from them. I may therefore, perhaps, beg leave to supplement your brief article in the issue for. Tuesday, Jan. 4, on princely dona- tions to educational and religious institu- tions. ‘The subject is one of far-reaching import, involves millions of dollars, concerns espe- cially every Christan in the land, and is con- sequently worthy of- more than a passing notice. understand you to intend to discourage large gifts to educational institutions under denominational control. I wish to offer. some reasons why we think that large gifts for such purposes should’ be encouraged, and why we deprecate any discouragement from so influential a source a3: Tue Trmune. I speak not for myself or for the denomina- tion that I represent, but for the Christian public. The policy of all denominations in this matter is one and the same. One of the more Sistinetive ete in Gre history of Protestanism is the 1 wi which it has ever founded and fostered Christian schools. All the great reformers—CLuther, Melsnc- thon, Zwineli, Calvin, Knox, Cranmer, an others—were uniyersity-bred men. They lent the weight of. their authority to the es- tablishment and maintenance of Christian schools. Protestantism has everywhere and always been the friend and promoter of cult- ure. Protestantism and learning are well- nigh synonymous, In America especially the church and the school-house have been inseparable. While heartily joining with their fellow-citizens on the broad platform of the public weal in maintaining a system of public schools for all, Christians of svery de- nomination in this country have sought to establish and sustain on liberal basis institu- tions of higher learning distinctively Chris- tian. .The very existence of Protestantism, humanly speaking, is dependent upon Prot- estant schools. | ‘These academies, colleges, universities, and theological seminaries for which money, is solicited are exponents of Christianity. of Protestantism. They are the fruits of Prot- estantism they are its support, If their endowment is dangerous to the public wel- fare, then Protestantism is So. Itis worthy of note that all of our great institutions of learning in this country, such as Harvar i Yale, Brown, Princeton, Union, Williams, an Amherst were founded as Christian. schools by private beneficence, and have been en- dowed by just such gifts as those alluded to, and discouraged in your article, It is sate to say that without such gifts in the past our educational history as a Nation and our pre ent educational ‘status would have been wholly different. Under this policy, which has been steadily prosecuted for more than two and a half centuries, the Eastern States have become supplied with a large number of strong colleges, universities, and theo- logical seminaries, with ample grounds, buildings, libraries, apparatus, and endow. ments. ‘They are ably manned, are full o students, and every year are. contributing powerfully to the public good by. the nunl ber of well-trained men who go out from them. ‘The policy which has ‘supplied the older Easteru States with such schools, and has planted Christian schools everywhere through the South for the. benefit of the freedinen, is just beginning to supply the great West with: siinfiar schools: “ There not a well-equipped Christian schoo} west of the Alleshenies. ‘There are foundations Jaid, and multitudes of struggling institu- tlons.

He would be a bold man to say so, | 1 is safe to say that never in the entire history of Protestantism has it been found necessary for the State to suppress a Christian school or to deprive.it of its revenues. It would be fmpossible to cite an instance lit which such an institution has been‘ hostile to the best in-; terests of the State. ‘These institutions are not. under control of” “the clergy.” Indeed, among. Protestants” there isno’ “clergy”? as a separate caste, ‘The distinction between clergy and laity was abolished-by the Reformers. Protestant pas- tors claim no superior sanctity. | The: récognize the universal’ priesthood of . their brethren, They acknowledge no foreign al- legiance. ‘They are: citizens; they marry, - rear families, bear their share of the public burdens. They have uo interests apart from the interests of their fellow-citizens. They are not foreigners or aliens. They are our sons and brothers, our neighbors and fellow- citizens. There is no ‘parallelism between the.Protestant pastors of the nineteenth cen- ‘tury and the Catholic hierarchy of the Middle Ages, The Protestant pastor is 2 man amonz men; an officer in the Church, not aruler over the Church, ‘They do not con- stitute a distinct, much Jess_a dangerous, lass. The public has no reason to fear ta trust them with the management of endow- Ment funds. As a matter of fact, however, these so-called -sectarian schools are not controlled even by the .preachers.. They are almost all under management of laymen. The “sectarian” schools here in Chicago, for example, are directed by such_business- men as N.K. Fairbank; Thomas Hoyne, CG, HL McCormick, E. Nelson Blake, and.Col. G. C. Hammond. Further than this, it is only ina very modified sense that any of these institutions can be said to be under sectarian contro. Among the foremost men in the Jand are snech College Presidents as Hopkins, Porter, McCosh, and Martin B.’’AtMerson, ‘This country is in no immediate danger from the influence of such men, or of the tens of thousands of their pupils who are occupying prominent positions of trust in all the walks of life. : Certainly it goes without saying that mod- ern Protestant schools are the furthest pos- sible from the Roman Catholic monasteries of the Middle Ages which have been sup- pressed in England, France, Italy, and else- where. In ‘spite of all that can ‘be said in their favor, it still remains*t®ue that they were parasites. They were formed upon a false philosophy of human nature and.a mis- taken notion of Christianity. They mocked atthe holiest relations in life, and encour- aged and practiced the most abominable vices. They were the offspsing of supersti- taon, and the parents of idleness, hypocrisy, and fanaticism. They were properly sw pressed. But their-history throws absolute! no light upon the question in hand, : We seek to build, not monasteries and nun- neries, where human life is dwarfed, society robbed, and the State menaced, but Christian schools, where human nature is symmetric- ally and healthily developed, and where men and women are trained for the performance of all duties of private, domestic, social, and political life. As regards the motives urged to induce men to give their: wealth to such schools, they are exposed in sermons, newspapers, and. public appeals, and will bear criticism. not aware that the idea at all obtains that men may purchase salvation by such means. ‘The old Protestant doctrine of justification by faith and not by works has no stronger advocates than among those who are urging most earnestly the devotion of Christian wealth to public uses. Money invested in educational endowments is not withdrawn from circulation. It is not locked up in the form of costly- buildings, recious jewels, or hoarded gold and silver. ‘he principal is employed in.commerca and the interest is paid to teachers and employes, by whom it is put at once into circulation. ‘These endowments are free from taxation, but their income pays its full share of taxes. All the appliances, grounds, buildings, libraries, apparatus, ete... employed in educational uses, whether by the Stato or by religious corporations, are exempt from fax. “The re- turn which they make to the Government in higher culture, nobler life, better citizen- ship, is regarded 8. of more -worth than a return in the usual per cent of taxes.

Why should not Chicazo -have a colleze -equal to Harvard? Why:should our sons be compelled to go Eastto secure an education? Why may not some .Vassar build a college for our daughters? Why..should not the pastors of Western churches have educa- tonal facilities equal to the best? ‘The history of one Christian school, such as Oxford, into. whose foundations millions: ot dollars have been put, which for well nigh a thousand years: has Deen a potent force for good in fashioning’ the English na- tion and molding modern. civilization, from which have gone forth thousands of scholars to improve society and elevate -the race and adorn their age, is of itself.a sufficient indi- cation of the policy we advocate of building up, by private munificence, institutions. of liberal Ghaistian learning. Such institutions have done more than any other human agency to prepare for us the rich blessings of modern life. hi Shall. we not, then, rather foster, pernetu- ate, and supplement, these institutions, than attempt to cripple, hinder, or discourage them?

Dr. Ewer again considered the conflict between Church and State, now going on in England, over the ritualistic practices of the extreme High Churchmen, ‘and said that, simmered down into the briefest possible compass, the issues at stake were these: - First—Whether Magna Charta, that has stood for 700 years as the bulwark of the Englishman's rights, shall now be violated and permanently altered in one fundamental respect or whether it eball stand ifviolate, Second—Whether the English judiciary has any right to exercise legislative functions at the cail of policy or for any other renson by altering the lnws instead of merely interpreting them. ‘Third—As, while by aucient prescription, the English Church has no right to enact a canon or rubric without the concurrence of Parlia- ment,s0 Parliament cannot legislate for the Church without her concurrence expressed through her legislative bodies—the Convocations of York and Canterbury—whether a radical change sball now bemude in the British Consti- tution whereby the Church of England shail, for the first time in history, be in ecclesiastical mat- ters subordinate to the State. ‘Fourth—Whether’ Presbyterians, Congrega- tionalists, Buptists, Methodists, Unitarians, and infidels can alter to suit themselves the Church’s doctrines 3 expressed in the prayer-book. ‘Fifth—Whether tne Bishops sitting in Parlia- ment to watch the interests of the Church have betrayed those interests by conspiring torob her of her constitutjonal courts, ‘Sizth—Whether a Bishop {s to be obeyed, not when be utters a godly admonition as a right reverend father in the Church, for then, of course, pe isto be obeyed, but when he merely acts as a State official executing the orders of a State court. - Seventh-Whethor the principles that governed the Duke of Alva and the Spanish Inquisition shall be reasserted and carried out practically, so far ag they cau be, in the. year 188L. + Eighth—Whethor, while Rationalists and Crom- wollian Protestants are still succeeding in mak- ‘2 willing world and .2 willing secular press believe that ritual is only mere childish frivoli- ty, utterly beneath the consideration of grave men, and while they are xt the same time stab- Ding at it themselves with the utmost energy, virulence, and perseverance, because, as they know and as we know, they are thus trying to stub to the heart the distinctive principles of the Church, her whole sacramental system, and the power and authority of her priesthood and epis- -copate,—Wwhether, I repeat, there ure any sacra- ments, or whether those we call such are, as thoy claim, mere ordinances, mere empty out- ward forma; whether there ‘is any priesthood, or whether. as they claim, we are to fail back upon mere preachers; fu short, whether or not there is any Anglican Church that is worth keep- ing up. .

THE COURSE OF STUDY AND PRIVATION BEQ- UISIT BEYORE ORDINATION. > Correspondence New York Sun. Hixpr Pans, Dec. 26—Manresa, a Jesuit novitiate, is on the bank of the Hudson just across from thls place. Itis so called’ after tha eava in which St Tenative wrata his * Spiritual Exercises. he house was orig- inally built fora country house, but it is made to serve the purposes of this novitiate. The grounds, whichiintlude about 180 acres, slopé gradually down }to'the river’s edge. The location is beautiful and healthy. Ac- cess to the ‘novitiatex1s somewhat difficult. Having once been.a qupil of the Jesuits, I re- ceived the favor of!-an invitation to visit there. I was met at. Hyde’ Park and rowed. across the river to BRinresa. As 1’ came: up -thpipath: to the: house I noticed, a college-chust' pacing slowly to and fro, his eyes fixed on a,hook- ; Seeing me, he bowed, as ‘I thought, Yery. formally. This was expiained later when: I earned that he was simply obe; a, rule, which prevented. him ‘from addressing mewntil he haa. first obtained permission. “+ : Isoon had opportunities to note the great neatness and simplicity‘of everything about me, and also tho systefuatic order “in which things are carried on, There seems never a relaxation in thé exacting discipline, ‘Each person knows what he is todo at a certain time, and that hour finds him at his post. The inewbers of the community arise at half- past 4. ‘They are awakened by a lay brother,’ -who calls at every door, ‘ Benedicamus Dom- ino,” which is. immediately responded to with “Deo Gratias;” and then the day is be-~ gun by prayer, Then the daily routine is begun: Meditation and mass are-the open-~ ing exercises of the day.” These come before breakfast. Frequently strict silence is the rule of the day during ‘meals. At such time a lesson is read aloud from some plons-book. After breakfast there is.an instruction froin the Master of Novices for the benefit of tha young minds that ‘he is helping to form. Each one then goes about his “special work of the day. ‘This consists ‘in making the beds, sweeping the rooms and keep! then in order, attending to the door, assisting the + Jay brothers in the kitchen, and'so on. “The Jesuits keep no ‘servants. Each novice spends one month of his two years, novitiate in the kitchen, making himself ‘useful to the cook in all possible ways. Here he gets a few lessons in humility. : ‘There is no ‘study, if Lexcept the learning of,a.small passage every day, which is done-for the. purpose of. keeping the memory fresh.’ One hour of recreation is given after dinner, another after. supper. Besides this there are two half-holi- Hays snot week. The hour‘for retiring is 10 o'clock. During the second day of my visit I hap- pened accidentally upon one the novices (an old friend), and found-hin engaged. in making up his bed after the neatest and most. approved fashion. A year ugo I could not have imagined such a thing possible, for this young man had been at one’ period quite a * spoiled darling. In tho course of con- versation he said: “Itis’a mystery to me now. how lever could have cared’ for the outside world. The life hetetranstorms one’ so completely. Everything ‘is quietly. Se renely happy. I have nothing to trouble me, —no Will of my own: 1do simply.as my su- periors tell me, And all the tine -I am ‘ac- complishing what I felt Tshould. not ‘attain. if I remained in, my former, position.

After the juniorate come three yearsmore ofphilosophy and natural sciences. This brings him to the grade of a Scholastic, when he is sent into one of the Colleges attached to the Order, and:here commences in real earnest the life of a Jesuit. A period of teaching being gone through, he takes up a four years’ course theological studies. At the end of the third year comes ordination. Then-he returns to ihe novitiate, remaining there a year, during which time he studies the constitutions of the Order., Thisis ended'by & month’s’ re- treat, to recruit the spiritafter the wear and tear of teaching and study: And now, as be- fore, the Jesuit goes wheresvever his sape- |: riorsends him.

From .the days of Peter and Paul to the days. of Moody and Sankey, he has. fed and fattened upon the foolish fears of hu- manity. He toiled not, neither did he spin. He has never soiled his dainty. hands with honest and honorable toil; he has wandered about the earth aisponge and a parasite, ab- sorbing the dollars of the rich and’ the poor alike, and clinging with ferocious tenacity to the Nulk of superstition. . . . He preys upon human weakness. ‘The emotional ele- ment in mankind has been the harp with a thousand strings upon‘which he has- played with consummate ability.” GKN.

Howard is in charge every cadet will have a fair show, and his just dues, no matter what his color or previous condition. We are sorry to lose the General from this coast, where ‘he has done noble, faithful, and most successful service, but he isnow needed more elsewhere,—needed to fila place for which thera is no other man in the country so well-fitted.

In those early Colonial days, 200 years ago, there were often lively tilts between . Buritanism and piscopalianism, backed “by “the . official Weight of the authority of the Crown. Old Trinity Church, New York, having “split” on the issues of that time, the Puritanical element called Mr. Vesey from _ Hen to take charge of the parish. But the Cole onial Gov.
