ETERNAL ‘PUNISUMENT. HELL AS PICTURED ELEUSINIAN MY T In the Eleusinian mysteries of Greéce the doctriue of the punishment of the wicked in a hell of torment is set forth with great dis- tinetness, The following is from “ The History of the Prog of Religious Ideas,” by Mrs. L, M. Childs te most solemn of them all were the mysteries of Isis, introduced ‘from Egypt, and called by the Greeks the Eleusinian mys- teries, sacred to Ceres. “The rites of initiation lasted nine days. On “the last day the candidates for initiation, hav- Ing gone through a probation of fasting, purifi- cation, sacrifices, and prayers, were admitted for the first tinfe: t6, the mysteries. What these were is unknown, but some of the ex- ternal circumstances are recorded.” At even- tide, the priests let ‘them go to a vast edifice called the mystical temple. “At the entrance, they washed their hands in consecrated water, being admonished to present them- felves with..pure minds, without which ex- ternal cleanness would Le of no avail. With aloud voice the priesis warned all the pro- fane to retire, and the worshipers remained alone. Thunder rolled around them. Light- ating flashed across the thi darkness and revealed’ startling avparations as it passed. “At last the inner doors were opened. ‘The interior of the temple burst upon them in a Dlaze of light, and strains of ravishing music floated on the air.. ‘Lhe statue of Ceres stood in their tnidst, splendidly. adorned. On her head were the horns of the lunar crescent, and her robe was covered with shining stars. In one hand she held a bas- ket of grain, in the other the Egyptian mu- sical instrument called a sistrum. One foot Tested on the ocean, the other was stepping on the earth. At the foot of the statue priests crowned the novitiate with 1 5 of sacred myrtle. Then followed a series o® Stately pageants, whicl, it is supposed, were intended to represent the creation: of the world, the progress of soviety out of bar- barisin, the passage of the ‘soul through death, frightful pictures of torture in Tar- tarus, and enchanting visionsof the Elysian ields. . “Crowned with myrtle, and enveloped in robes which from this day were preserved as sacred relics, the novices were conducted beyond the boundary ini ble tothe rest ofmen. ‘The hierophtant, with his symbols of the supreme Deity, and his three assistants, representing the three other gods, ’ were carefully visible. Lestanyshould have been introduced not sufliciently prepared for the rites; the herald exclaimed, * Far from hence the profane, the impious, all who are polluted by sin!? y and did not instantly dep never-tailing doom.” ‘The skins of new Metis were now placed under the fyet. of the novices, the ritual. of initimtion was Tead, and hymns were ¢ Ceres.” The novices moved on, a ‘deep sound rose from beneath, df -the earth were complaining: thunder pealed, the lightning flashed, Spectres glided ‘through the vast o moaning, sighing, and groaning.

THE ANGLICAN CHURCH. -ACRISIS IMMINENT GROWING OUT OF THE .°- RITUALIST PRUSECUTIONS. “gO, Outsider believed that the hops of the English Church could stamp out ritual- ,Sm'by resorting to the prosecution of that Portion Of the clergy who are identified with the Catholic movement in the Anglican com- ‘union, and the Bishops themselves have at ated in honor of while as the Jength come to see that the intolerable s of lezal complications in Which the ecclesi- al law. has been involved since the Ref- ormation not only renders prosccutions inop- erative, but places their promoters in an un- enviable position before the English people. ‘The chief originator of the measure which indirectly caused the recent troubles, the -\rchbishop of Canterbury, is far too shrewd and statesmanlike, Erastian though he be, to bush a measure to which he finds that one- fourth of the English ciergy are conscien- tiously and bitterly opposed to the point of Open rupture. He was the first to spea words of relief to his own elergy and the first to bring forward the proposition for the Appointment of a Royal Comanssion in the Mouse of Lords and urge its acceptance on reasonable and characteristic grounds, Me yielded promptly the’ dem and s fair play, but in Proposing a Commission he outlined som i more than an_ ecclesiastical safeusevalne The Commission was appointed some weeks since, but until the appearance of the Rev. John Oakley's article, entitled “The Royal Commission on Churelt Courts,” in the April number of Fraser's fayazine, it was not Well understood outside of Church cireles how much might be involved in at. The point had been reached in the arrest of prom- inent Ritualists where it only needed the of popular excitement to create 2 nd for disestablishment_ which sted. ‘The Royal Comission was actually proposed by the Bishops themselves, ana Unprecedented in Anglican yas the only way of escape fi dificulties in which leg: had landed the Churel. Usually the Bi hops have reformed abuses by putting new patches upon the worn-out garments of ex Jaw; but in t ease the Anglican E, pate, which is far more entangled than the American inthe meshes of precedents, and has never before been known to initiate re- form, has not only initiated what is likely tu remove the frequent deadlocks between the Bishops and - the clergy, — but created in the’ direction of toleration, if not revolution, as marked at change as that which followed upon the act of uniformity of 1662, and organized eccle: al dissent in imudern Engl: e hopelesiy committed,” as ley ly Says, “tu the existing legal From the moment of their consee! ton, if not before, they are i of fir he law and the la: overlooked, and as if they were compelled to stand on the side of the State which created them, ‘Lhe clergy, on the other hand, es- vecially those ritualistically inclined, stand for the rights of the spirituality which both Bishops and clergy stood for when Henry VIL. attempted to put his foot on the neck of the Church. What the present Ro: Ce i that the Bishops as a body risen to the hightof their former privi- lege, and are looking forward to the proper autonomy of the Chureh hings spiritual and also in ecclesiastical discipline. Cardinal Manning left the English Church on the ground of the attempts of the State to intertere in the declaration ot Christian doc- irine iu the celebrated Gorham case, but at that time and since the Bishops have really not been free men at all. They are obliged to undertake the Episcopal office, if at all/on the basis of a tradition which denies to them the free exercise of the duties of the Episco- pate in the control of the Chureh, Jey regards the Commissicn as a possible ns by which at the right moment the Church may abolish the fiction’ of Parlia- mentary control, and restore the Bishops to their rightful position as the spiritual heads of the Church, It stands for tne turning- point where a “practicable modus vivendé between Parliament and Convocation” must be struck out, and “a practical revival of the principles of church policy” is demanded. Th t that the Archbishops and Hi: under cover of a Board of Inquiry, have made themselves the mouthpiece of. this ze demand is plainly a significant sign of the movement of religious sentiment in the direction —_ of freedom, The press of the English Church has understood the commission in this light, and public opinion is evidently in favor of such changes as shall adapt the ecclesiastical law to the existing needs of the Church. The English Constitution is a growth, ani is still growing; the English Church is likewise a growth, and is still growing; but the liberty which is granted in the one case to keep the Constitution close to the life of the people should not be denied to the Church which ex- ists to shape the religious life of the same people. ‘Lhe recognition of tnis_ principle in the appointment of a Commission of In- quiry opens- fundametal questions. The deeper point_in this matter is the question whether the Church of England is a State or- ganization for the maintenauce of morality ora Christian Church, Ithas been managed since 1717, when convocation was virtually suppressed, and_up to its revival by. Bishop Wilberforce, as if it were nothing more than an institution of the State. The question which ritualism has brought forward with such earnest purpose that it has been en- forced upon public attention is whether the real Church of England shall not rise avove the manacles of law which have heretofore interfered with its freedom, and, as a body of Bishops, clerzy, and laity, demana of the State the same autonomy ich has long been conceded to the Church of Scotland by the national Parliament. ‘This is the work which opens betore the Commission. The alternatives are disestablishment or the granting of such freedom to the Church, in the management of its spiritual affairs, that the Bishop shall be spiritual head of his Diocese; and the Divcese and provincial courts, with a court of finalappeal composed of members of the Episcopate, shall cover all eases Which come within the common limits of. spiritual _ jurisdiction... This _means the defeat of Erastianism, and the poison of Erastianism has eaten too deeply. into the heart of the Church to be ily removed, but the organization of the Catholic party is now too compuact and the party has been too nich strengthened by the ritual prosecu- tions to permit the Commission to become simply a breakwater to the recent agitation. It looks a: meant that the relation of Church and State might be so revised as to give the Chureh the freedom required by its growth in this century. In this light, and this seems to be the interpretation put upon the Commission by th who know most about it, there is a possibility that it may be fraught, to use Mr. Oakley’s words, with consequences—as yet unforeseen and unsus- pected—of which the effect may be. felt. in the fresher and healthier instinets of all E1 glishmen for generations to come, and beyond the strict Jimits of the Establishei Chureh. DUKE OF NORFOLK. THE PRESENT MEAD OF THE FAMILY, THE FOREMOST I ENT. OF ROMAN CATHOLICISM IN THE ENGLIsIT ARISTOCRACY. London Truth. an excellent specimen of priestly training; also of home education, for the Duke was never at school or college. His mother, who has the treble zeal of a convert, was nervously anxious that her son should see as little as possible of any but the purest Catholie society till his mind should have been thoroughly formed, and there should be no fear of his ever venturing to think for himself on religious questions. She dreaded a repetition of the scandal of 1850, when the W’s grandfather seceded to the Church of England on: the occasion of the Papal Ag- gression. It was an eventful Sunday that, for Arundel, when the Duke. and Duchess marked their displeasure at the action of the Vatican by repairing to the parish church for morning service; and men thought Piux 1X. must have acted rashly indeed to ahenat¢ a Howard from his allegience to the ancient faith. Asa matter of faet, the yast majority of the Howardsare Protestants, and even the Ducal line has not always re- miined Catholic. One deliberately uses the term “yast majority,” for the family is prob- ably the most numerous in the peerage. In 1783 the then head of the house held high festival to commemorate the 360th anniversa- ry of the creation of the Dukedom. On this auspicious occasion he had hoped to collect round his board all theauthentic descendents then living of the first Duke,—* the Jocky of Norfolk,”"—but his steward, after making’ in- quiries, told him. that no hall in England x ntain them.

A moderate amount of knowledge is quite sutticient for a Duke of Norfolk to get on with in these da ys, at any rate of book knowlege, for that of the worid - comes carly enough. So they brought up his Grace to be a good young man, with a very Serious sense of his responsibilities. Indeed, few inen of the Duke's age—he is 32—can look back on so blameless 2 youth 2s For some years he entertained the idea taking holy orders, a course from which lie is said to have been aded by his spiritual advisers,—who may have poitited out to him that Mr. Howard, of Greystroke, a Protest- ant, was not so off in the line of sneces- sion tothe coronet. But Lady Flora 1 ings had probably something todo with the Duke's change’ of views. Her Iadyship, on becoming her Grace; accomplished the not very diflicult of detaching the Duke from the Libei result to which Lord Beaconstield si uted in-no slight degree.

Everything went off well on that well- remembered day, though one circumstance was calculated to mar, in however slight a degree, the complete happiness of the bride. There was no present from her Majesty: and the absence of the familiar eashn ? Was much commented on. ‘The fact is the Queen, while entertaining the highest re- spect for born Catholics, has no love for *verts: and even considers it her duty, as head of. the Established Chureh, to mark’ her sense of displeasure against those who quit the national communion.

He has, moreover, the rare i replying punetually to every application for assistance,—with a cordial Yes pr a courte- ous No, At Arundel he is immensely popu- Jar with Catholics and Protestants alike; though Arundel is fast becoming wholly Catholic. The Duke's recent litigation with the Vicar was of the most friendly kind, thoush he expressed determination to push his rights to the extreme limit of the law. He evidently considered the honor of his church Involved in the struggle. It was res- cuing consecrated ground from the heretic. ‘The Duke speaks fairly well, chietly. from long practice, having iredly. no native talent for oratory.

SEVERE sTRICTU: N THE MISSIONARY New York Herald, The crew of the United States steamer a who had been engaged for the three years’ trip to Alaska, the Sandwich nds, and the Samoan Islands, were recently landed at San Francisco, and a few days ago several of them came to New York. ‘The Captain of the vessel, Mr. George Brown, did not come any farther East than Indianapolis, that city being his home. Among those who. reside in New York and its immediate vicinity is the first mechanic of the vessel, a pleasant, intelligent Scotchman. A Herald. reporter paid hina visit, and requested him to give some account of things as he found them in the South Seas. .** Well, now, if I were to tell you what struck me as the worst thing in the Samoan Islands, my wife would not like it, and as 1 only see her once in three or five yearsIdo not care about quarreling with her.

They get these shells— actually swindle the savages out of them— and every six months or so their accumulated store of shells is sent to Honolulu, where they are sold, and from that, place they to the Eastern markets, ‘Chis is their pri pal way of accumulating wealth, though some of them do quite a business in cocoa- nut oil. This gets to the markets in the same way the shells do. Most of the missionaries are from the United States.

It is 3 noticeable fact that the movements of the relig- jous world have for sume time, and never moro intelligently than now, been brought within the sphere of editorial comment in the press. It i3 one of the marks of religious advance. Itis but {step from the daily to the Sunday treatment of cil and religious ulatters, and the change has come about ilmost in response to the ununi- mous demand of the public. In one sense these Sunday papers are detrimental to chureh-yoing. They are likely to keep at home those who would go to church as they would saunter into a Held. Thoy furnish a varioty of entertain- ment and instruction with ¥hich no religious society cnn or ought to compete. They oceupy # different sphere, und serve adifferent pur- pose, and the cry of conservative. religionists aginst them is’ both unreusonuble and un- just... . The single. pulpit reaches 500, orat best a thousand; the Sunday paper speaks to balf'a miilion, There is no channel like it for the utterance of words which touch tho interests of whole communities, which produce immediate eifcet, or which sow the seeds of- new ethical harvests. ‘The Sunday puper of to-day {s fust beginning to touch the fleld of immense possi- bitities; the Sunsay paper of the future is to be one of the detective ngencies in developing the best tendencies of American Christianity. It has the ears of the multitude: itis read when t can never simply emphasize the personal con- Victions of the responsible editor; and in the hands of tho men whose strony cominon sense and wise insight into euming directions of life enables themi to sit in leading editorin! chairs, itis to be one of the chief teaching elements in the church of the future. While meeting all the demands of a lexitimite newspaper. it cin more and more be the channel through which: relig- ious prejudices may be softened, and throurh which the great moral interests of the commu- nity may be effectually served. A STRANGE PREACHER, There was once a minister of the Gospel who never built a chureh. Who never preached in one. Who never proposed 2 church fair to buy a church a new carpet. Who never founded a new sect. Who never belonged to any sect. Who frequented public houses and drank wine with sinners, ved a salary. Who never asked for o1 Ka Who never wore a black suit or a white necktie. Who never used a prayer-book. Ora hyuin-book. Or wrote a sermon, Who never hired a cornet soloist to draw souls to hear the Word. Who never advertised his sermons, Who never went through a course of theo- logical study. Who never was ordained. Who was never even converted. Who never went to Synod. Who was he? s PERSONALS. N, Dr. Magoun, President of the Iowa Col- lege, 1s going abroad in July. The Rey. L.

RELIGIOUS TRIFLES. ‘The Re elected Pr now pis teria: Itis said that Col. Ingersoll is so radical that he refuses tu allow his children tu take brimstone and molasses for spring medicine. A Sunday-school teacher was once lectur- ing on the power of the wind, and said: “In traveling along the road Leven sometimes found the logs bound and twisted together to such an.extent that a mule couldu’t climb over them, so I went uround.” A minister, while marrying 2 couple re- cently, was rather disconcerted on asking the bridegroom if he was willing to take the young lady tor his wedded wife, by his seratching “his head and saying: es. Un ‘illing; but ’damuch rather have her sis- ter.” A.
