CHAT BY THE WAY. ‘There are a great mavy persons in the world who are well enough to go to a ball, but too sick to attend a | prayer meeting. | We look at things from different standpoints, An Englishman was boasting of the immortal sentence of Nelson at Tralalgar, “England expects,” &c., when a Scotchman broke in and said:—“Ay, Nelson said to his English soldiers, ‘England expects,’ &c., but he said naething of Scotland, becauso he knew the Scotch would do theirs.” ‘Tho conservative gentlemen of Boston have given up the Old South church with a sigh of regret, whey want the building saved, and they are sure that some- body ought to buy it and hold it asa piece of sacred | property; but their purse strings are tight, and the fuuds are not forthcoming, The ladies, however, have taken the matter tu hand, and it is therefore as good as accomplished, Bunker Hill Monument could hot be | finished until the women got hold of it, and then the | cap stone went into its place quickly. When the men | give up in despair mpossibilities become realities under | the strong will of woman. If she will she will, you may depend ont; If she won't she won't, and there's the eud on 't. From the Peace Convention, which held its session | tm Philadeiphia last week, a telegram was sent to the President requesting that a spirit of fairness be man- Mes:ed toward the Indians. What it would be fair to do under the circumstances was not told. If Sheridan should Jét the Indians alone for a fortnight and try his warlike hand ou those who sold Winchester rifles to dhe red man, and if the army should vent its Orst im- petuous outburst of indignation and revenge on those who havo systematically cheated the Indiaus, we should probably get our first glimpse of fair play tn this sad matter. The glorious six hundred rode to their death because some one blundered by selling gunpowder to the Indians for furs. A drum bead court | martial for every man whoselis a red man a rifle would | be the easiest way to secure both justice and peace, Benjamin Franklin was nearly eighty-flve years of age before any one exhibited curiosity as to his re- ligisus belief. Just before his death, when he was suflering great pain, he requested that a picture of Christ on the Cross be placed where he could look at it, und so he died, His old nurse said to one who ex- pressed surprise concerning bis desire to look at the tross because of his supposed unbelief, “Thee knows Vhat many make a great fuss about religion who have very little, and many who say but littio have a great deai,”’ That old nurse put the matter in its best light, and reminds us of the man, another philosopher, who said to one who asked him if he had religion, “Well, T’ve got none to talk about.’’ Jesus did not say, “By their profession ye sball know them,”’ but rather ‘by their fruits.” | Lord Amberley wrote a book against Christianity and | died. His tamily relations are 0 disturbed at the fact, not that he died, but that he wrote the book, that they | have tried to purchase every copy, and 80 suppress the | work. We have here, however, a new illustration of the old saying that so long as a word is inside your lips it is your own, bul the moment it gets outside it be- | longs to everybody. tor the very moment the English edition 1s exhausted a shrewd American publisher will Probably produce a thousand extra copies, and can con- tinue to publish as long as the noble family of Lord Amberiey are wiiling to buy at a fair price. The seed bas been sown and is can’t be troddeu oul, Since Sitting Ball talks French his opinions on all matiers of public concern aro important. He cherishes a very lively objection to a multiplicity of wives, and it is suspected that it is because the wives inciude the mothers-in-law. In true laconic fashion, when asked his opinion of the Mormons, he replied, “No fun—heap wives—no fun. Even Emerson could not have packed more decision into a short sentence. The tenor of the Mormon iden is thus nividiy displayed. Many 4 man has found ina single mother-in-law all the diseiplime which bis natural grace sould endure; but to have twenty to bring their sewing of an afternoon and stay to tea, and to toll how dilereat things are with Mary Jane from what they were before the was wedved—weill, human nature must be mace of Herner stuf! to bear the load.

He says that Jonu Wesley nevor imicnded to leave the Church, and be hopes to see the day when Methodism will take its old position in the Church.

Some men’s lives aro rowaaces, filed with startling contrasts. Something over twenty years ago Mr, P.S. Bmyth was hard at work in a Brooklyn dis Villery trying to make both ends of bis yearly account meet. He neither lost heart nor head, however, but rasnaged to acquire a good education and a vast aeal of knowledge about American institutions The next we bear is that « certain Mr. Smyth, an Irish | ment. | iniscences of the great | bravery. | iw ail the baun | We bave duties o | should not wonder {i he ts | toc Mmemper of rarlivment, has just delivered a speech which has attracted a great deal of attention, and, be- hold, itis the same man, He went in at the forecastlo, but now comes out on the quarterdeck. He got ready for the place, and after a while the place was vacant and he was elected to fil it, The Irish Presbyterians have been making the world merry and themselves miserable by certain criticisms ‘on the use of the organ in public worship. end gegth % stigmatized those who believe in help- ing the service of the Church by the introduction of the organ pulpits “dancing masters, pipers and Tumblers.” If some of the conservative divines should happen-to hear the “Ninety and Nine” played by Arbuckle on bis cornet they would probably become unbalanced for the rest of their lives, or it may be that they area little unbalanced hew—which ? An English bishop lately complained of “the unsat- isfactory state of London socicty,’ and said further that some of the Protestant clergy had introduced the confessional with great profit, Now, then, we have a chance pot to be lost. The confessioual among Prot- estants, is will never doin the world. That is a blow ai che very underpinning of the protesting structure, and cannot be tolerated for a single instant. It is a crime against the usage of centuries for a young man to go to bis pastor and confess his little peccadilloes. Whither are we drifting. and where, o where, shall we bring up at last?

They guided the counsels of kings. Throughout Roman Cathohe Europe the secrets of every government and of almost every family of note were in their keeping. Thoy glided trom one Protegtant country to anvther under innumerable disguises, "as gay cavaliers, as sim- ple rusties, as Puritan preachers.

HOW TO ENDUW A COLLEGE. One way of relieving a strain upon the finances of a college has been devised by that ingenious and ind fatigable doer of good, Dr. 8. H. Tyng, Jr. At bis sug- gestion a number of the Alumni of W 8 College, of whico he is a graduate, formed an association known as the * Williams Century.” As the name implics, it was intended to enroll 100 men, Each member’ ts pledged to pay $100 a year, if necessary, to make up the deticiency in the college income, If the number is | full it impltes a payment of $10,000 @ year.

It almost deeerves the name of a revival. A very large number of Jews bave been in at- and is there not great danger of adopting other meth- | tendance at the Fulton street praye> meeting for some ods of Romanism under the subtic plea that they are | time past and have borne quite a prominent and intel- “profitabie?”? Just imagine the revelations which would resuit if the young men of New York should lay before the wondering eyes of the clergy a carefully prepared biography. It might change the whole toue of pulpit teaching and make it more practical, It might act as a check on the temptations of the future, Still, in adopting the confessional we should lay our- selves open to the charge of borrowing from Rome, and that would never do. Most Protestants can afford to denounce even a practical good if the suggestion comes from a rival, and there/ore this English bishop isa rank heretic with very dangerous Popish tenden- cies. Somehow we find it difficult to associate the ordinary ills of hfe with men who have made themselves illvs- trious, Great geniuses seem to live apart from the common herd uniouched by the pangs and pains which others suffer. We hear, however, that Bis- | marck has a terrible inflammation in bis legs, which, when the fit is on, does not conduce to amiability of disposition, The pain is likely to take him at any mo- In the midst of a State paper which he is com- | posing with that wondrous ability to say everything and mean anything, he suddenly slaps his legs, and, | with an oath uttered in a dead language to take the rage off, makes a rush for a soothing lintment.

Unhappy, restless and: married—that tells the whole story. 2 SYNAGOGUE WORSHIP. THE FAST OF AB—THE FALL OF JERUSALEM— HISTORICAL DISCOURSE BY REV. DR. MENDES. Lastevening the fast commemorative of the destruc- | thon of Isract’s fairest city and in memory of various | Protestant, and so he is compelled to roam about In | pe, He wields a big | rajec other calamities which occurred on the ninth aay of | the Hebrew month Ab commenced. It will continue to be solemnized by prayer and fasting until dark this evening. Dark indeed was the time when, through the sins of our ancestors, Israel lost temple and na- tonality, and sad the reflection that those who were in possession of Heayen’s choicest boon should so far for- | get the gratitude they owed to that good Being who had for 80 many centuries protected them against all enemies from without and within, ‘To-day the people will assemble in their places of worship as they assem- bled yesterday, and, with prayers and lamenta- tions, make mention of the downtall of He- brew independence. Every nation records in its annals seasons of great public calamity and suffering, times when the scourge of affliction weighed heavily on the Innd and days when the divine justice exacted the penalty of crime and misconduct. But these uefortunate events live bat in history; the generation by whom they are witnessed thay preserve the memory of what it has undergone, but their children, and still more their grandchildren, have no seuse of sufferings which they themselves have not experienced. National pride forbids to keep alive the recollection of national humiliation, while the anni- versaries of glorious ¥ ries and other happy events are celebrated’ with joyous pomp; while vanity de- lights in the splendid commemoration of events which bear testimony to a nation’s prowess and success no attention is paid to the anniversary of a humiliating doteat, Israelites alone ot all the nations of the earth commemorate their greatest de.eat and the destruction Of their grandest monuments of glory and of power. JERUSALEM'S SAD PATH. Judah's mournful capivity and unparalleled dispersion were the resuiis of her own deep crime abd transgres- sion, but atthe same time a fulfilment of prophecy, ‘The former 1s mourned by Israelites, who, by fasting, Show penitence aud shame {or past’ ingratitude, aud pray for strength to be kept from similar error, But the certainty of propbecy affords at the same time glorious Lope. Justas surely as those dark days of Tamuz and Ab were foreseen and foretold by God’s in- Spiration in the mouths of the prophets, so surcly shall other great predictions come to puss.” “The fast | of the dith month shail be turned to a season of joy and gladness if we but love the truth,” says Zachariah; and by trath, the spread of the truth among their neigh- bors, the veneration of the truth among themselves, fasting shall disappear and days of mourning be no more known, In the orthodox synagogue on Forty-fourth street the Kev, Dr. Mendes yesterday gave some bistorical rem- (and drew appropriate and practical lessons for his hearers therefrom. It would scarcely be fitting, he thought, to allow the occasion 10 | pass without a lew words of retrospection of the mourniul day when Israel's transgression received due punisiinent. The Doctor then narrated the events counected with the captivity of the Jews for seventy years in Assyria, as prophesied by Jeremiah. After that period tiey Were permitted to return to Palestine and to rebuild their desiréyed city and temple. But, alas! for Israel's backsliding, crimes as great as the for: mer again eveked the Divine punisumentand Tiwus carried & romuant into captivity, destroy mg their towns and stroffgnolds, and burning the holy temple on the #th day of Ab, exactly the same day on which the first haa been destroyed; and since that peri Jows have lost their existence as a nation.

IGNATIUS To-morrow, July 31, Catholic Church to commemorate the life and deeds and death of Ignatius Loyola, the founder ot the famous Society of Jesus, which bas been the bulwark of the Holy See for three centuries; the converter o/ nations, the educator of youth, the mother and guide of saints, the defender and promoter of civilization, the producer of more remarkabie men and jliustrious achievements than any other body of men since the and we abould bury all © LOYOLA, | chapter in our hisiory, said the Doctor, isa plain one, | ligeat partin the services, This company have been Jed by Dr. Rosevailey, This gentleman seems to hold a very strong grip oa bis nation, He was converted under the ministry of Rey. Mr. Hammond, at Wash- ington, last winter, Rev. Mr. Almon, Baptist, and Mr. Harris, Methodist, both converted Israclites, have rendered eflcteut service to this new method of work. On the east side of the city, where the Jews abound, very interesting meetings are held, and efforts are be- img made to secure headquarters tor special iabor among them. A COSTLY RELIGIOUS GEWGAW. The most silly thing that a Protestant congregation can do is to build a house of worship in which nobody can hear. Externaily Tompkins Avenue Congroga- tional church, Brooklyn, is beautiful to look at, It is cruciform in style, florid Gothic in design and orna- mented to the very spire. The building and furnish- nobody can speak in it or hear in it with any degree of ease or comfort, This house has been rented of the mortgagees by the new Congregational Socicty, of which Dr. Holmer is minister. The roof inside looks like the headquarters of a telegraph company. Bunches of telegraph wires run lengthwise and cross- wis’ of the church, It was thought that these would break the echo, The platiorm hus been brought into the centre of the church, and in the rear to aid th sound of the | voice, but with hittle success, Architects now say that the interior of the church must be entirely changed, galleries put in, floor raised, ceiling altered; in other words, a new chureh in pally must be con- i the work is progressing. There are at least « dozeu churches—some in Brooklyn, some in New York, some in Boston, in Springfleld and Chicago— each costing over $200,000, that are utterly worthiess a8 places of worship, it does no good to Curse archi- tects, when commiitees insist upon building Gothic churches for Protestant preaching. When Sir Christo- pher Wren was ordered to ‘urnish plans for the re- building of St. Paul's he made a design that embod- Jed his idea of what « large Protestant church ought to ‘The pians are still in extatence. Spurgeon’s Tab- erracie embraces Wren’s though on a smaller j scale The Duke of York, ‘a8 then planuing the return of the Romish Church, induced Charles IL to ject the model Wren was ordered to restore St. Paui’s in the cruciform styie, and he received the com- mand with bitter tears. TROUBLE AMONG THE SANOTIFIED. Our friends in the National Association for the Pro- motion of Holiness seem to have troubled waters in the line of their voyage. Certain disagreements ia the past, whose particulars we havo not sought or gratuitously received, have resulted in the resignation of Rev. Dr, Lewis R, Dunn, Rev. Dr. Asbury Lowrey and others, and now the Rev, George Hughes has sepa- rated htmsel! {rom the body. We hear that in the past certain work was assigned to each of these brethren, involving cessation from duty as regular pastors, and that when all their plans were formed’ to prosecute these duties assigned by personal, specific treaty, that treaty has been summarily abrogated, and these breth- ren leit “out in the cold,’ as to. work, until their conferences meet ‘again. Current ru- mor leaves the responsibility for these Nupote. opic alterations of battle plans upon Dr. Jobu 8. Inskip, and nota few express strong disapprobation of his alleged untairness. We have no disposition to meddio, and these lines are written solely to provoke somebody enough to extract the Incts in the case. This series of resignations excites Comment quite at the personal expense of some brethren, and we sincerely lament the hart which is being brought upon our Wes- leyan doctrine and professions through the inevitable indignation and discussions that surge up whenever an auded resignation is announced. This association, in spite of occasional unwise sayings and ill-advised idioins on the part of some of tis members, pas done much good and has prompted many hundreds to move upward toward the high ground whercon the Lord loves best to pusture His sheep. We theretore lament any misunderstaudings that tend to throw into disre- pute that Christian profession which certainly includes perfectly fair treatment of all laborers in the cause at the hands of those who are chief in such a holy cam- paign. MINISTERIAL MOVEMENTS. METHODIST. A new Methodist church is on the way at Democrat Prairie, near Eureka 18 is to be 30 by 52 feet. Rev. Charles M.

Since Dr. McCosh became President of Princeton College that institution has received $1,500,000, $300,000 of which, including buildings, &¢., were given last year. This isa noble endowment within a few years, The toreign missionary work of the Presbyterian Church May 1, 1878, had:—American missionaries, 134, and communicants, 8,577. The increase of com- municants was 1,676, the iurgest ever reported. ‘the most remarkable success has been in Japan and Mexico. In the former the members have increased during the year from 46 to 118, and in the latter trom 1,000 Lo 2,800, @ Vresvyterians of Illinois number 40,095 commu- nicants, nearly double the number of the Congrega- tionalisia in the State. The former give but tity cents per member to the cause of hume missions, while the utter contribute ninety’ cents to the ‘cause, Hence their Sunday schoois and scholars gre: nuimber the Presbyterians, The Prosbyteri: of membership this past year was 1,535; the Congro- gational increuse, 664, The Southern Presbyterian charches contributed during the late ecclesiastical year for missionary, benevolent, pastoral and congregational purposes the sum of $1,135,681, which was about $29,000 less than she amount contributed the year belore, DISLIKE OF NORI'HERN OFFICE- HOLDERS IN THE SOUTH. To rae Eviror or tne Henatp:— Speaking of the dislike of Southern whites to North- ern men who hold office mm the South you ask “why ¥”” and add:—“If a republican goes to Illinois he can vote ‘as he pleases and run for office if he pleases, and no ono will rebuke him.” Will you allow me, a Northern man and a republican, to point ont the difference to you? If half or more than halt the population of Iih- nols were composed of an extremely ignorant class, Jately slaves and still orally and mentally but little above the status of slave if then strangers, trom say New York, were to go into the State and at once seck office, and get it by banding this ignorant and casily corraptible class together in opposition to the more enlightened; if these New Yorkers should use their power thus gained to steal from the taxpayers, and -houid perpetuate themeclves a power by exciting the susp of their poor tools against the rest of the peopl d when they were threatened with loss of office i they should appeal to the peopie of New York and to the federal iaed for belp, then you would have a c@e in lumois such as exists in Lousiana, Mississippi and other States. I do not believe you woult encourage such Aa course, nor would you severely blame the educated and property owning class if they regarded these New Yorkers with aversion. I do not justify murder, outrage or lawless- ness—tar from it; but, as,you justly remark, it is tho knera, the imbecility of these Southern republican verninents, which tolerates and thus en- e crime. But you would yourself justify what is ridiculously called racism’’—refusal to associate or maiatain friendly relations with people who obtain thoir power by massing poverty and ignorance against property and education in a State, and misuse it in such ways as you know of.
