This is important, insomuch as there are now three dioceses in this state, The changing of the book of common prayer was ordered by the general con- vention of 1880, and a committee of seven bishops, seven presbyters, and seven laymen was appoinfed. = The committee has issued a sample new book which changes the old book to a considerable extent. making the services more of a high-church order and shortening the services, which causes a re- ligious journal to remark that “the world moves, and the church is far from being the cast-iron thing Oliver Wendell Holmes once playfully called it.” Itis generally expected that the book will be accepted by the convention with little de- bate, as it is thought by the majority that the book of a century ago is behind the times.

Davis, Meriden, Conn,, says: ‘I have used it as a pleasant and cooling drink in fevers, and have been very much pleased with it,” | ———— The Jordan Canal. The Rev. W. J. Stacey of Norwich, England, writes to The Guardian to direct attention to *‘the apparént fulfillment in three several ways of the Prophet iel's words in chapter XLVIL, should the proposed plan of connecting the Mediterranean and the Dead sea be carried out: 1. Bearing in mind that Jerusalem stands 2,400 feet above the Mediterranean while the Dead sea lies 1,300 feet below that level, thewaters of the Mediterranean would flow far up the valley of the Kedron, so that to one coming from Jerusalem eastward, they would be first “‘ankle deep,” then “‘to the knees,” then “to the loins,” then *‘a river that I could not pass over.” Note also that Zacha- riah XII, 8, fortells a communication by water from Jerusalem both to the Dead sea and the Mediterranean, *‘in summer and winter alike”—I. E. never failing. 2. The waters of the Dead sea (v. 8.9) are to be healed and filled with a mul tude of fish *‘as the fish of the great sea i, e., the Mediterrancan, The .aent'on of Engedi (v. 10) makes the reference to the Dead sea certain, x 3. As the Jordan descends 600 feet be- tween the sea of Galilee andl the Dead sea, the level of the former would be raised from 600 feet to 700 feet, swallow- ing up Tiberias, and forming a sea north- ward over the sites of Capernaum, Beth- saida, Magdala, etc., toward Damascus, Mount Hermon, and the Hauran (vv. 16, 17.) This we may well regret, as that Jericho and the fountain of Elisha, and the fords and plain of the Jordan, should be buried 800 feet below the waters, In the ‘‘Speaker's bible" there are wany points of interest in the comments upon Kzekiel XIVIL, bearing directly upon this project, never thought of when they were written, E: M Foon, for Infants. £LLIN's Foon, for Infants aud invalids,re: quires no boiliug or stratulng, readily solyble in warm milk or water, and When o dissolyed forms the best substitute for mothers' milk that has ever been produced, Sold by all druggists. most de ket for years, Fronting 700 feet on Sherman double in value in 12 months. make selections early.
