Items of Evangelistic Work. —From
late numbers of The Revival, we cull the
following:— The Theatre at Derby is a
building capable of holding 1000 persons.
It has been purchased and repaired by
friends of evangelical effort, and convert
ed into a Gospel Hall- A visitor writes
to the Revival of August 31st, as follows :
“To see numbers of the roughest of the
obildren, without shoes or,, stockings, col
lected together receiving spiritual instruc
tion twice on the Sabbath, and several hun
dred people, including many of the lowest
and most abandoned characters, assembled
three times on the Sabbath to hear the gos-.
pel in this hall (but for which many, of
them would never be brought under the
word of God,) is indeed truly.pleasing,;an'd
calls forth our warmest thanksgiving to bur
Heavenly Father for leading his servantelto
purchase this large building, that; hi& iteme
might be glorified in the' eonversion of iim"
mortal souls to Christ, whose command to
his church is, 1 Go ye into Ihe afreets and
lanes, and compel them to come in, that my
house may be filled.’ -It is , hoped that at
least 250 precious souls have been convert
ed to God the' use of the means
thus employed, many of Whom are connect
ed with Christian ‘churches, while others
remain with the theatre mission.”
Lord Radstook preached an open-air dis
course in Shirley; .-near Southampton, Aug
ust 22d, an hour and a half long, founded
on the excuses'of those invited to the
King’s supper. ‘‘Jesus was exhibited to
the people in all the shame and gloryj of
the cross, the tale of divihe love being illus
trated and its truths enforced by personal
narratives and incidents, such as rivetted
the attentidh' of the people and elicited
their most lively interest,”
Successes of evangelists and open-air
preachers are recorded in many towns, in
the Penitentiary of Newcastle, in Ipswich,—
where the Corn Exchange, holding over a
thousand persons, is regularly crowded, and
where 300 conversions, mostly among the
young, are reported ; in Dover and other
places. -Th.erb has been a.separate.mis
sion among- the cabmen of Bristol-for ten
years. Mr. -Darling visits all: the drivers,
horse-keepers, etc., and lends them tracts
and religious periodicals. Three rooms
have been opened in different parts'of,* the
town, where the men are gathered together
three times a week to hear the gospel, and
one of the rooms, providedby the kindness
of the Great Western Railway Company,
answers the purpose of a reading and diniDg
room. At Aberdeen there were open air
services, August 13th, on the “Links.”
The evangelists, Ord, Hambleton, Cunning
ham, and others, were present, with about
6000 persons in attendance. At Houns
low Heath, a feeble; woman, lately convert
ed to Christ, commenced house to-house
efforts among the poorer women and-the
soldiers, and was the means of establishing
quite an extensive mission among the ne
glected olassea there.
Romanism in England.- —Perverts 10
Romanism among the Higher Classes.—
Romish authorities reckon within the last
-20 years, 867 converts “ among the highest,
the most gifted, and the most distinguished
in the land,” and 213 clergymen, and other
“ leading dignitaries of the Protestant
Church.” Among the first named list we
find a great' multitude of noble ladies, in
cluding Queen Victoria’s mother,;; the
Duchess of Kent, and many lords, titled
gentlemen and M. P.’s., including such
names as DeVere, Roscommon, Hamilton,
Lothian, Kenmare, Talbot, Argyle, Athol,
Bucoleuoh, Douglass, Deed's,‘Duff 'Gordon,
Norfolk, Alan,„ MoNab, ,Palgrave, (the
traveller who hUsi tciy ibe'ehtly renounced
popery at Berlin,) Sutherland, etc. Among
the Protestant clergy „we find Dr. Newman,
Arohdeaoon Manning, Archdeacon Wilber
force, Canon Qakley,jßev. Dean Dodworth,
Rev. H. Anderson, M.A., &o. This is truly
a formidable array, and must be regarded
as a proof of the.degenerapy of the higher
olasses of that country. We imagine that
with the lower classes the,current is setting,
quite the other way. And on the whole,
we suppose the excessive tendencies to lib
eralisin in religion and science prevailing in
all olasses, will more than' counteract an/
leaning Romeward among the higher-ranks.
—-—Unceremonious Treatment of RomiHf-
Innovations —The Bishop of London,' a
few weeks ago, was called on to consecrate
a church in Shoreditoh, called “ St. Micha
els and All Angels.” There were four
bunohes of flowers on the communion
table. The Bishop asked what was i the
meaning of them, and at once ordered Them
to be removed before he would.proceed to
consecrate. Next, we are told, “ surveying
the assembled olergy, most of whom were
habited in snrplioes, with richly embroid
ered stoles, and other (?) ‘ High Churoh’ in
signia, he said quietly, but 1 sternly, ‘ The
clergy here of my diocese must appear :in
the Bimplejdress of clergymen of the Church
of England.’” After an awkward pause,
in ii id'aaid the olergy looked at one
another very innocently, as though at a loss
to comprehend his meaning,” he is. reported
to have said somewhat peremptorily, “ I
must ask you .to take off those ribbons,
gentlemen.” The “ ribbons” accordingly
were taken off. He then objected to a
small cross in polished oak, which had been
placed at the top of the wardrobehe
asked what it meant," and being answered,
“ Nothing,” ordered it to be taken down and
“put in the cupboard.” He also observed
“ that it was a great pity that the arrange
ments were not completed at the time of
the inspection, so that the objections might
have been then,raised, and all unpleasant
ness on the day of conseoration avoided.”
When he reached the ohurch, he noticed a
rough sketch in charcoal of the Crucifixion
on the teredos, which gave him great
offence; and he refused to proceed with
the ooasecration till a written undertaking
had been entered into on the part of the
incumbent and ohurch warden, that the
“oartoon” should be removed. — Guardian.

Evangelical Dissent. —The’ TJ. P.

the secession of-Monod andhis friends from
the national Protestant church of France
in 1850. “ Evangelical dissentyhas a stimu

truth ; it holds up the example of a pure
and zealous church; and thus, while it
checks' the progress of errorand decline; it
diffuses a reviving influence. This has

lantuomini, without appertaining to any
particular church, or holding; any dogmas
of religious belief. Baptism, marriage, and
sepulture, for instance, are to be recognized
simply so far as civil law requires, without
any consecrating act to hint at supernatural
sanction or relations with a life beyond,

current objections to revealed religion, and
supply defences of Christianity. Prof. Dr.
Zockler, of Giessen, and Secy. Grau, of

the most eminent theologians of Germany
have promised co-operation. ‘ The odium 1
theologicum, which has well nigh vanished
from the circles of the Orthodox, burns
with terrible intensity in the quarrels of
the Rationalists. Dr. Schenkel, in his

“An Austrian statesman, a Primate of
'Hungary, 1 in the seventeenth century, put
together in the following words thh : Aus
trian Government policy to be followed
with the Hungarians : — 1 Hungarians faeere
primum mendicam, deinde Germanam,
pbstremO Oatholicam’ (make the Hunga
rian. Church first poor, then Ger man lastly
Roman Catholic). The first point in this
terrible utterance is nearly being realized;
and if land and nation, with destruction
before them, in vain struggled, much ' less
could our Church naturally do to the avert
ing of the disaster.” .
In spite of these great and crushing
accumulation of burdens the Hungarian
Church has preferred to maintain its
spiritual independence rather , than ex
change it for Government aid. The letter
continues: —“The Evangelical Church of
Hungary has not been, since it existed,
supported pecuniarily by the Government.
In the. year 1859, it is true, the Govern
ment offered us,- with the well- known patent
for the arranging "of "'the affairs of the Pro
testants, also a'yearly budget of 95,000
florins. But the Evangelical Church of
Hungary, in lawfullpossession of the 1 auto

would not exchange their pledged Histori

_ Education as part of Mission. Work. —
The question of'th'e ’due ' prominence of
schools in missionary work, is still under
.discussion, in Great Britian. A pamphlet
has lately appeared in- Edinburgh, from the
pen of'Alexander! Forbes, late editor of the
Bengal HitikurUj in Calcutta, whioh speaks
in a most derogatory manner of Dr. Duff’s
work in India, and of that branch of mission
ary labor in general. The writer calls upon
the Church “boldly to sweep away all their
: educational establishments and send forth
the missionaries to preaoh,” claiming that
“ money Spent on Educational Missions is
absolutely thrown away.” A copy of the
pamphlqt has in some, way been sent to
every. minister of the Free.. Church, with
the evident purpose of counterworking Dr.
Duff’s plans, now/that he is at home,. The
missionaries of the Free Church' at Cal
cutta have replied to the pamphlet, .prov
ing the great amount of good effected by
Dr/ Duff’s extraordinary and successful
efforts for a Christian education of .the
jyouth of India, as. well as exposing the
ignorance and recklessness of statement
betrayed' by Mr. -Forbes.' -‘ The Scottish
Missions in Calcutta, Bombay, Poona, and
Madras,'show an increase of twb' hundred
and ninety-one per cent, in thg ten years,
1851-1861; the total., increase in all the*
other missions,; Burmah excepted, in the
same period,-/was twenty-seven per cent.
The consequences of a neglect of education
are beginning tP appear among some of the
Missions. ■ /' ’
/The most discouraging feature in ’the
Chota Nagpore ,Mission, as well as'in . those
of Burrissal,, Dacca, Jessore, Krisnaghur,
and Tinneyvelly, is the low state of educa
tion. -Great efforts have already been made
in the last mission to remedy this defect,
but the majority of the Christian children
have hitherto grown up in a state of lamen
table ignorance, and unless this state of
things is altered; the Native Churches must
continue in a very unsatisfactory, condition.
In Chota Nagpore, not only has an earnest
appeal just been made to the European
community, to assist them in bestowing a
plain vernacular education on the children
of Christians who are growing up in ignor
ance, but the Mission now finds itself, com
pelled to establish a school for training
native Catechists and preachers. They
feel that’there is danger of error creeping
in aud being propagated by ill-instructed
men.’
NEW AND POWERFUL MICROSCOPE.
A foreign journal says:—lt is not many
months since one of the most eminent of
living mieroscopists expressed his convic
tion that in the production of object-glasseß,
with a one-twenty-fifth of an inch focus,
the microscope had reached its utmost
attainable limit of perfection. He added,
that “it appears impossible to separate or
define lines more numerous than ninety
thousand in ap inch,- on account either of
the decomposition of light, or ; some other
cause. It therefore- seems beyond; our
power,ever to discover more of the ultimate
composition of bodies by means of- the
microscope.” s lt is always" foolish to use
such “ thus far and no' farther” language
m reference to any department of scientific
research; but it is”not often that its fallaci
ousness has been demonstrated within ! so
short a period as in the.jiresent case. The
above extract is taken from a journal, dated
December 10, 1864} and yet already the
one thing which microscopists are no®
talking About is an object-glass with one:
fiftieth of an inch-focus, recently-made by
Messrs. Powell and Lealand, which was de
scribed to the Royal Societies by Dr. Lionel
Beale the other day, and was exhibited; at
the annual conversazione of that society a
short time since. The object-glass posses
es double the power of'the one which we
were so lately told, and by so great an
authority, was the most powerful we must
ever expect to possess, and defines with
wonderful distinctness/’particle's which the
latter cannot render visible at all. It mag
nifies three thousand diameters, with the
low eye-piece, fifteen thousand diameters—
.that is: to say, in popular parlance,,.one
thousand five hundred of millions of times!
It must immensely increase our knowledge
of the lower organisms, and even aid our
researches into the ultimate constitution of
matter. And who shall say that even its
powers may not be exceeded in time ?
