The Mission Ficida of the South, To THE Eprror or THE HERALD :— The mectings of the Evangelical Alliance are past and gone, and Iam gradually reading up the account. The saper of Rev. Dr. Hoge, of Rich- mond, Va,, is the Jast that Jhave gone through, and it strikes me as one of the earefally prepared papers presented to the Alli- ance, Certatnly, so tar as the American peopie are concerned, no paper ought to interest them more deeply. His subject was the “Mission Pie of the South.” His account of the extent ana g@ources of the 11 Southern States must have as- tonished the foreigners present. His account of the characteristics of the Southern people was brief and to the point. lis next topic—*'rhe Chris. tian Civilization of the Soutn’—takee me hy sur- prise, as it will, 1 think, most persous who have Mot given whe subject special attention. According to the tables of the United States ce: there is less pauperism and crime in the souitern Ptates, in proportion to population, than in the other States of the Union. Dr. Hoge makes a di- Fect comparison in these respects between the Kew England States und the Southern States—i compariton Which results in marked advantage to The latter! And then he adds:—‘Another surpris- Ing revelation which these census tables makes % in reference to church accommodation. An the New England States there are 6,421 churches, with 2,209,607 sittings. (Total pepu- yagi Postale In the Southern States there 000 oh s e 4M another form, in New Knglana there is one ehureh for 643 habitants; in th h 3 3 he South there is One church for 518 inhabitants.” such is Dr. Hoge’s o} patty F 0) oo M ipacung the case of the Christian civilization | Dr, Hove sollows the census report 8.

In écuudor no books are allowed to be read which have not been approved by the ecciestastical authorities. Yet Ecuador cheats its creditors.” HM Dr. Hoge ignores the matter of honesty in his account of the Christian civilization of the South it is not be- | cau ita oe to avoid aifairs of mun- ] for he speaks of grain crops and mmerals, and canals and ratlroads like a sensible man; but as for good faith im pubhe obiiga- tions and the honest payment of State debts, the census repoits do hot appear to have helped him, Secretary Delano recommends a cen- sus to be taken In 1875, the results to be published ip season for the centennial of mdependence, Now, let the HeRaLD put inits powerful word for a@ iull and honest census, which shall mark the States that pay their debts and those, Lkewlse, which allow payment of their debts year after year to pass by deiault, Such a census would remind Dr. Hoge and every evangelical ( hristian, when he wishes to compare the South avith ti matter of paupertsm, crime and church accomimo- dation, that honesty on the part of States has something to do wth the stunding of such States | in the seaie of Christian civil Ths would be useful to Dr. He State of Virginia, as | Well as its neighbor, North Carolina, The HERALD believes in an nonest religion, | hope, and 1 want it to stick in a strong pin at tais pout for the good of all, ZACCHEUS. A Goed Thing for Ali Charches To Do. To Tur Eprror or THE HERALD:— Since you inserted in the HERALD of Jast Sunday & communication from “Resident,” headed “A Bad Thing for Any Chureh To Do,” [trust you will | in like manner give this reply @ place in your next | Sunday's issue. ‘Resident’? complains of the ex- action of the small sum of ten cents jor a seat in | Catholic churches, and says that this practice has diseusied him with the Catholic religton, though he was favorably disposed toward it before. He tells us that he made this astounding discovery “recently, in attending divine service at several of our more noted places of worship.” Now, if the churches had to depend for support upon these carpet-bag cnnrch-goers who run about irom one church to another they would be in a very sorry plight. However ‘willing might be to put a “dime”? in the collection plate, there are many of these sight-seers who ignore the plate entirely, much preterring, like him, “ree seats.” The great majority of © afford it have their Own pew, oF, at least, a single | seat, whilst those Who are too poor (who is %) to pay five or ten cents jor a seat in the body of the can enter the gallery during high ma eharge. A momeut’s reflection will convince any one acquainted with the facts thatthe pooyer portion of the congregation nearly always attends the earlier masses, where all seats are free. Mr. “Resident,” ali Catuolies, however diferent their station in life, can attend mass. ‘To the ques+ tion of *iesident,”” “How many poor are thus ariven into the @ Protestant churches ‘”? how- ever awiul he may tainx it, can be simply givea | the answer “None.” Iv is admitted on sides that the’ Catholic Church is pre-emisenty the Church ofthe poor. To many ofour “dissenting brethren”? the poor are unciean, fhey must needs be set apart; “workingmen’s churches” (as in England) are erected for them. ‘They must not contaminate the atmosphere of the rich. ‘there are no more miserable objects than poor Protestants, They are the ones | debarred from cuurch; their neighbors are too fashionable for them.+ They are never invited to the “minister's party; whey feel their mieriority. } and, as they do not consider Ni asin to stay away | from divine service, they generally do so. “Resi- | gent” should extend bis Sunday perambulations to Brooklyn and teli us how many poor he finds in and aiso what he thinks of 1 auction, and whether be thinks there ny cuance tor not alone the poor, but even per- sons of moderate means to obtain place in that temple oi “buyers and sellers.” I sincerely trust that ‘Resident’ will carefully | peruse this article and meditate upon it, and per- | haps be will get over 1s disgust and cose to have a good opinion of us once more, [am very doubt- | fulof it, though. A man that will let ten cents stend between himself and the true religion 1s not likely to embrace tt.

He would endeavor to show, he said, that and to Keep tt free irom all Trinitarian, Unitarian and other absurd notions, and that this faitn de- pends solely upon the will of God, its creator, He | proposed to prove also that,man is a unit created | in the image of God—a soul that depends not for | salvation upon ~anything save the use or | abuse of 118 reason, and that Judaism is | religion that appears in its pure, pristine = glory.

To these the secession of a Bishop, with the possibility 0: the formation of a new Church, has been a great encouragement, while strict churchmen have been proportionately dispicased or saddened, THE BISHOP'S ACTION, as indicated hy his letter and by the remarks of Dr, Cheney, with whom he has been in corre- spondence for some yeats, is not doubtiul. He expressiy states that he will transfer his ‘work and office to anovner sphere of labor,” plainly indicating his mtenrton of taking such action as he contemplates in his character of Bishop, (The clergymen of the West are discussing as a fine point whether he carries with him the apostolic succession and seem agreed that he does.) In- deed, under the canon law, he has six months to reconsider his action, and he cannet be formally removed before that time. During that period he may undoubtedly exercise the functions of his office and hold confirmations, the persons thus re- ceived into the Church holding precisely the same position as if they had been received by,Bishop Smith himsel!, Dr. Cheney, in addressing the con- gregzation of Christ churcn yesteraay, said he had no doubt that if Bisnop Cummins was invited to come here and hold a confirmation he would do so, Alter service yesterday the wardens and vestry- men of Christ church met and, formally expressed their sympathy with Bishop Cummins for the noble stand he haa taken, “recognizing,’’ says the reso- utions, “in this action of Bishop Cummins the re- sult ot a deep conviction, shared by ourselves and by alarge number ol the Protestant laity of the Episcopal Church, that the only adequate remedy for tie Komish tendencies now pervading that Church is to be found in @ thorough and scriptural revision of the Book of Common Prayer.” The cun- gregation reverentiy ghanks God for inspiring one Bi-hop to shrink trom no sacrifice to maintain a pure gospel, glorifies God that Dr. Cummins has fol- lowed the tootsteps of the great English reform. ers, and pledges its prayers, sympathy and practi- cal co-operation “in tne effort’to unite an Evan- gelical pulpit with a scriptural liturgy and a mod- erate episcopacy.’’ This may be considered THE CREED OF THE NEW CHURCH, Trev. Charles Edward Cheney, in his sermon yes- terday, said he feit sure that every one in his con- gregation had ead the Bishop's letter—that every heart throbbed with thankfulness and joy because ofits publication, For tour years Bishop Cummins bad warmly approved of the, stand taken by .the ‘conrregation of Christ church and hod maniully defended tt. He had written to the speaker many times, tendering his sympatby and encouragement. ‘Thank Godl there was one bishop in the United >tates who preferred the truth of God to the applause of man, who had tae courage to proclai tue truth. This was a grand, good und hopeiul thin: DR, EDWARD SULLIVAN, of Trinity church, one of the most eloquent speakers in the country, well known in tIreiand, New York and Cunada, undertook tne ofiice of champion.az the cause of Episcopaliantsm, and detivered a leugtiy and able sermon to a crowded congregation, ‘Ihe lullowing is a synopsis of his adaress:— With some things in the Bishop's letter we must allarree, I concede his right to withdraw trom our commuvion voluntarily as he entered it yolun- tarily. 1 alsu believe that he has exercised this Tight of Withdrawal conscientiously, Tiurtner be- lieve that, believing as he did, he acted with coin- mendable Consisteucy, and regret that there are otrers who proiess to belleve with him, but lack the maniiness to fodow his example. These men would be better out of the Chureh than in it, pro- fessiug to beiong to it but violating its laws and deiying its authority. Beyond this, I join issue with Bishop “Cummins, ‘while Goes his e: errors to the head rather than the art. it would, 1 think, have been maniier to have borne the cross offered him, to have remained within the Church and combated the errors and false practices which m his beHet obtained there, than to have left it.

In the seventh and eighth centa the Church of Rome de parted irom the truth; in the sixteenth came the gorivus and justifiable secession of Luther, Now, again, Rome has departed even further irom the trath than she had in the days of Luther, Papal imfallibulity has made it imp ssivle that she should ever retrace her steps; hence we applaud the noble and justit. able secession o} the Old Catholics of Lurope. But is the condition of the Protestant Episcopal Church in America such as to justify secession from ity [sit as corru the Rome of Lutner’s time or to-dayy Se ession is only justifiable when there isa whole abaudoninent of the true falth, Our Church 18 far from that. 1 do not say that the Cuurch is free trom ali fauit, for there is no per- | fection this side of Heaven.

BISHOL WHITR'S PRAYER BOOK, The course which Dr. Cumming will pursne he does not Jeave ia doubt. He will, he says, take his Work and his office with him and return to White's rayer book. Ol this prayer book but li is nhown by the peopie at large, but Lhave before me Bishop White's own admission, over his own sig- nature, that it was printed by mistake.
