n< (?) Monks and pilgrimage#-
(Jhrisiim World for Sep-
Ui.it n section of tbe Bnglish
Church has not only estabiisheid'h nhn
nery connected with a splendid Episco
pal Church in the West end of London,
nit also a brotherhood of monks at Nor
wich.
It quotes the following account of a
pilgrimago made by these monks, from
an English paper:
The monks of Norwich recently made
a pilgrimage to the celebrated well of
St. Walstan, at Bawburgh, whose wa
ters are supposed to have wonderful
properties. The “brethren” with the
whole of their “ regalia” in a cab, left
Norwich quietly until the city was left
somo distance behind them and then,
having robed themselves in gorgeous
vestments, an acolyte bearing an im
mense brass cross, proceeded, singing
hymns, to their destination. Before
oacb Village church, prayers were said,
and by the time they reached the vil
lage of Bawburgh their numbers had
increased to about seventy individuals,
and the; procession had an imposing ap
pearance. Beneath a gorgeous canopy
Father Ignatius, who was clothed in a
gold and white satin cope, and sur
rounded by the “ brethren” of the or
der, bearing a groat variety of banners,
and followed by three little children,
bearing the banner of the Guardian An
gel, proceeded to the holy well, where,
with candles burning, censers swinging,
and- amid fumes of incense, the superior
sang aloud, “We praise thee, O God !”
the audience falling on their faces to
kiss the holy oarth, after which they
were all sprinkled with the water, sing
ing, “ Sprinkle me, O Lord, and I shall
boolean,” etc. The well was then in
censed, and a large number of candles
lighted, and after a short lecture by the
“ Father,” vespers were begun, and the
scone was very imposing, and doubtless,
entertaining to the rustics. The servi
ces concluded, a perfect rush took place
for the moss, and evory,scrap was torn
from the well. The procession then re
turned to Norwich. It is understood to
be the intention of the monks to visit
all the “ saints’ ” relics in the country.
No wonder that these monks are
turning Papists, and hoping , and pray
ing, and asking the prayers of, all Pa
pistß, for the “ conversion” of their late
associates. Nor are we surprised to
hear that the friend’s bf PrOtestahtteiiv
in other parts of the island, are on the
alert, as appears not only in religious,
but in political movements. Witness
the following: , U-l
A private meeting was held July SI,
in Edinburgh, for the putpose of form
ing “ a Protestant Electoral Union for
Scotland/' The following vras adopted
as the basis of the “Union The ob
ject bf the Union shall- he, by all suita
ble and legitimate means, to impress
upon the constituencies of Scotland the
.duty and necessity of returning mem
bers to Parliament who shall oppose all
legislative measures which tend to raise
up the Papal hierarchy again as a
legally-endowed and established body
—tbO-
its real
costs of Papal propagandism out of the
public purse.”
Essays and Beviews; Judgment or Con
vocation. How regarded by the Hard
Chancellor. —Tlio Convocation of, Canter
bury, including the bishopsin the Upper
House, and the inferior clergy in the
Lower have been long and earnestly
considering the Essays and Beviews.,
Last month they heard the report of
Committees previously appointed to ex
amine the books, ftnd’,, in spite 01 much
opposition, principally from the Bishop.;
of London and Dean Stanley, came to
a dcoidod conclusion. Wo quote from
the Christian Work:
* The judgment adopted in both Houses
is in the following terms“ That this
Synod, hiving.appointed committees of
the; Upper; and/Lower Houses to exam-;
inc and roport upon the volume entitled
< Essays and Kevibwsi’ and the said
committees hiving: severally- reported
thereon; doth hereby Synodically con
demn the said volume, as containing
teaching contrary to the doctrine re
ceived by the United Church of Eng
land and Ireland, in common with the
whole Catholio Ghiirbh of Christ.”
This decision has sinco been the cause
of a moist important debatein tbeHouse
of Lords. Tbe Lord Chancellor treated
it with the utmost contempt, as worth
leea and incompetent ; us->dx-posing-*tbe
bishops, if they attempted practically to
carry it out, ir< vuso of the presentation
of the writers to livings, to tho penalty
of ■pre.tnunirc; us ansailoaipt, in fact, if
it meant anything, to impugn the head
ship of the Queen in matters spiritual,
one of the most serious ecolesiastical of
fences that could be committed. The
Bishop of Oxford expressed his dissent
from the. opinions of tlie .Lord Chancel
lor, as well os his surprise at the spirit
of his lordship's speech which
he characterized ah'derogatory to the
dignity of jtho housed and fitted only to
lower his own high position, and de
clared his determination at all hazards

in it; and to the false doctrine which
was spreading among the converts."
The Regium Donum. —The General
Assembly of the Irish Presbyterian
Church, which met in Belfast, in July,
discussed this subject for a whole day,
with closed doors. Says the Christian
Work: The proposal was that the gov
ernment should raise the Regium Donum
from 69Z. to 100/. for each minister at
present in receipt of it; that this fixed
sum should be removed from the hazard
of an annual vote and placed upon. the
Consolidated Fund; and that to provide
for the endowment of new congrega
tions—of which it was estimated there
Would be an average of four every year,
—each minister should subscribe 10/.
annually to an endowment fund. _ Vari
ous objections were made to this pro
posal, but it was ultimately sanctioned,
and the committee re appointed.
There has been an increase of nearly
six thousand families and over three
thousand communicants during the
year to this church, though the aggre
gate of contributions —nearly £82,000 —
has somewhat diminished.
The Irish Methodist Conference reports
a decrease in members of 957, in expla
nation of which the deaths are stated at
.419 and emigrations at 811, with.4BB on
trial. The most serious decline was in
the Portadown District, which has lost
400 members,—a loss attributed to seve
ral causes, chiefly the depression of trade
and the tide of emigration. It is expect
ed by the Conference that £lO,OOO will
be raised in Ireland for the Jubilee
Fund.
The Rationalistic Controversies within
the National Church still run high.
The name of Pasteur Adolphe Monod
having been mentioned in connection
with M Coquerel’s (junior) non-election
as suffragan to Pasteur Martin ■Paschoud
—an extremely interesting document,
giving the full account of the exclusion
by the rationalists, headed by Pasteur
Martin Pashoud, of Jfc Ad, Monod from
thd Church of Lyons, in 1831); has been
published) it is from his own -pen,, a
simple'sober statement of facts, and. in
its unvarnished simplicity reveals two
things; first, the persecuting spirit of
tho rationalistic party, god, secondly,
the Christian spirit of love and faithful
ness in which it was borne by the young
pastor.
Several Places of Worship have been
opened. That of Lorient at the end of

intelligence:
:;In that part of Switzerland running
down into Italy, embracing the Lake
Lugano ; and the Northern part of Mag-,
giore, called the Canton Ticino, thorb:
are many places where the. religious re
form movement has become general.
Near Lugano there is a village with a
population of some five hundred, where
the priest has embraced evangelical
views, and all his people, almost with
out exception, are with him. Pour
other priests indifferent parts of this,
same Canton ha ve pat off the priestly
habit of the Homan Church, and are
now preaching the gospel to their peo
ple. In Switzerland, though the Bishop
: m «jy exoo m miinicate, he .cannot deprive,
a priest of his, living, or separata him;
from hiß flock, for the governtnent Hus
tains him. Hence there are priests-who;
become enlightened, continue in their,
parishes, and preach in their churches.
As an interesting instance of this, in
Stabio, a town of 2200 inhabitants, situ
ated a littljo South of Lake Lugano,
there is a parish priest who has been
excommunicated for preaching the gos
pel. The Bishop cannot, however, drive
him from his flocky he‘therefore re
mains, preaches the gospel in his church,
•reccivingT fro<P..tbo government about
two hundred dollars a year. More than
half of his people strongly sympathize
with him, and among this ngraberare
the most inflneQtiai,.in the place. Two;
of his brothers, ono a judge and the
other the principal innkeeper of the
town, with thoir families, are amoDg
the 1 most izealous for the truth. This
.priest l visited yesterday, and was de
lighted to find him a man of decided
ability, with clear and evangeUoaV views,
and sincere love for the troth. He is a j
bold and independent thinker, and at
the same time shows great frankness
and simplicity of character. He ap
pears a truly converted man.
At Ghemme, » town situated at the
Southern extremity of Lake Maggiore,
where our colporteur- at first met great
opposition, the. burning’ two or
three of pis Bibles publicly, there ia
now a remarkable demand for the
Scriptures,-tb« people inaignant at .their

cessful, movement to interest the trades
people,par ticularly_ the master w ork <n en,
in the sanctification of the Sabbath.
The master jewellers and watchmakers

resolutions :
“The day of rest is a benefit to the
laborer.
“ The members of the present meeting
bind themselves to respect it, and have
it respected by their workmen.
“Thecommittee will continue to study
all means of promoting the work.”
Other trades are turning their atten

command new and much-needed atten
tion through the whole community.
No new movements of importance iu
this field are reported, though the great
est encouragementjto labor is felt. The
correspondent of tne Christian World at
Lugano, already reforred to, writes:
Italy is at present in a most favorable
state for being Evangelized. , Every-;
