It had come unsolicited and was not considered a promotion in the nss of that word. It was rather ng the field of his usefulness in the service of the Lord. He had been in Omaha several times—when the lato Bishop O'Connor was laid to rest and later, when the corner stone of the new St. Joseph's hos- pital was laid last fall, At Gretna Rev, Father Wallaco was token on_board the train and introduced to his lord- ship.

But, of course, we donot think so; and after having gone in and out among these brethren for full thirty years, To name these vices, the vices, remember, that peculiar to slavery and in which state they may be ra- tionaliy supposed largely to exist, is quite an- sury. 1t is sufiicient to say that like all they are peculiarly obnoxious to men of refined manners and lofty morals, But it is not*askiug too much of this class of persons, to remember in the heat of their indignation anst the vices poculiar toa slave state that the free state—the state of culture, of business, of government, especially the state of authority and power, has vices peculiar to italso, * * The tact is, as we cousider this charge of the intellectual unfitness of the colored ministry, we almost feel like giv- a warm and vehemen ¢ Methodist amen to Father Ignatius when he says: *The human reason is a puny thing, when a bottie of brandy omphatically obliterate it.

In other words, 1t is now a veritable holiday, not a holy day. Our sensi- ble clergyn are recognizing this fuct. The Rev. Dr. W. E.

The spirit of the article appears to be eminently Christian, “Even if somo of these preachers continue to curse nad revile us, we shall have done our pirt as Christians; and God's blessing will follow those who ful- flil the precopts of praying for their ene- mies.”” Some years ago in northern New York, ajudge, pronouncing a sentenco of death on a youthful murderer, added, with omotion, the words, “Aud may the Lord have merey on your soul.” Affected by th touch of sympathy, the young mau at the b exclaimed: “Phank you, sir.

The uinth international conferonce of the evaugelical alliance, which will be held in Florence until April; 12, promises to be a great success, The United States and overy European country is represented, and Italian Protestants will utilize the occasion for an unprecedented aemonstration. Thirty years ago Florence was the scene of bitter sccta- rian strife, ansing out of an attempt of thel priest-ridden government to stop the Protest- ant propaganda carried on by agents of the alliance. Several of the latter went to prison for couscience sake, and one of them will take part in the conference.
