Nevertueless, tue off- cial statement of ine Porte declares, “tis well Known that religious liverty 1s practised in Lur- Key m the widest aceeptation of the term.” The truth is that the Turkish government docs not propose to permit “the conversion of Mussulmen to Caristianity,” nor to restrain its milltury offi- cers irom inflicting cruel punishment upon ‘thosa who have never been Mussulmen on their em- bracing Evangelican Christianity.

He admits, however, that of the 650 who enter an- nually the vast majority belong to the poorer Classes, and ave by no means inferior in ability to the rich. ‘The natural inference, then, would bo that the majority of graduates belong also to the poorer classes, or else these fail to compieie their college course and leave tie institution beivre they graduate, The Freeman's Journal, in a spirit of hosulity also comments editorially on tue proposition of the representatives of Uathulic schools to the Board o! Education to be admitted under the care of the latter. The Journal declares that the pudlic school system is founded on the plan of bidding God depart, that we want none of His ways, It intimates that society 1s breaking up and going to pieces because of the influence of the godless schools, aud that it can be saved {eum dis- solution only by the faith{uiuess of Catholics in disseminating their own religiog, It does not (nink it wise or prudent to slut religion out of those schools between the hours of nine A.

THE MUTUAL INFLUENCE OF THE PULprr , TH PEW--SERMON BY DR. GorrHern. Yesterday morning, in the temple on Filth ayee hue and Forty third street, Dr. Gottheil preached sermon sull of practical inquiries and sugges. tions on the mutual reiations that should exist be- tween @ minister and his congregation and the in- fluence which each exercises over the other, Tho basis Of the discourse was Moses? recital of what the Lord had done for israci, and es) claily how the Lord had been angry with him (Moses) be- cause of the provocation of Israel at tue smiting of the rock, So that he was not permitted to enter into the promised land. Moses, in this recital, does not hide tho truth, but speaks of it in tones of. compassioy, and reminds the People of their many rebeilious acts, and espe- cially how the spies who brought back an evil re- Port of the land caused their brethren’s hearta to melt within them—as if the faithful shephera would lay stress on the word and the jact that the troubiers and the rroubiea were brethren. Then, applying this thought, the Doctor remarked that many of his hearers may remember tue time when ‘bey met with discouragement whore they ex- bected support and sympathy, Perhaps it was the Old strive between tne evil and the good in them, and they sought for words 0! sy mpathy row their bretiren, with whom in days gone by they had held sweet counsel; but tie old theaaship is dead and the eye that once sparkled With sympa- thy 18 hoW COld Gud dark, und insiead Of tue vid words you sre now told that your fiend Is 090 BUSY TO HELP OR SYMPATHIZE With you.
