feature in his preaching , . that we deeply

the most clearly defined system of theology.
in the presentation of the practical truth
of God we find a marked difference in the
two men. Spurgeon dwells more than
Beecher upon the doctrine of the cross in
ite relation to the conversion of men, and
t h e development of Christian activity. The

to guide them in the world as it ` is, aiming
to make them better fathers, relatives, and
friends, better busineeiS men and citizens.
No man of the day attempts-to.apply God's

Christian with the world, especially in the

TURKEY.
It is now within a year or two of half a cen
tury since Mr. Hallam predicted " with an
assurance which none can deem extrava
gant, the approaching subversion of the
Ottoman power." In these words the his
torian of the Middle Ages only echoed a
vaticination to which every Christian writer,
who, during the . preceding
. two hundred
years, had turned 'his view toward the East,
had given utterance ; and probably at the
time when he wrotethere *tes more ample
groUnd'ht4htinipatingthe fill , cf Turkey
than at , any previous period. It does not
concern us here to inquire by Whit causes
the inevitable rain was retarded.. The
,process of Aisintegration, which began s with
the separation of, Greece and. Egypt from
the house of Othman, has practically se
cured the independence of Roumania and
Servia, and is now
, giving more Menacing
signs of its" , activity in more vital parts ,of
"the empire. In Theiettly and 'Albania, the
atmosphere -has "grown elei3tric." In
Epirus, there is open 'insurrection. In
Candia, there is a more dangerousTebellion
than any: which has shaken the throne of
the Sultan since the Greek. War of Inde
pendence. At Athens.ind.thvogliout the
kingdom of Greece,there is, warm sympa
thy with the insurgents and.railcontents—
perhaps even something more. ,The move
mint, indeed, has assumed di. proportions
of a Part-hellenicirevival•;itve;should notbet
!gteatly surprised- we Ve',44 hear :that
Greece 'had demanded' ntit merely Candia,,
Epirn's and:Thisi i ly, With th`giontier
of" Mount Khirnmra and, Olyinpu,4_ In
yielding •to any such,deinind,ohere would
bea terrible irisk,:lyttt, no, less in)refusing
it. The theory of , non-intervention', which
allowed IlapSburge and' Hoheniollerns to
fight out their duel' unmolested 'hy France
'or England, would scarcely permit a repe
tition of the championship which brouolt
on the Crimean war.
It would be impossible to conceive in
this age a community more ' , degraded than
the Ottoman empire: The political system,
the social system; the religions system, the
military syStem T all alike , are ;tainted' with
irremediable corruption. From the Sultan
himself down to the meanesCrayali, there,
flows unceasingly a tide of immorality,
drowning all sense of moral obligation,
national or personal. The law courts are
but markets for the sale of justice; the
fiscal is a vast engine of , extortion.
The army.has lost the fighting, merits of
the old
,Turks without gaining the disci
pline. and skill of Western war.. Then the
doctrines of Islam, so powerful in the era
of conquest, have lost their efficacy in the
period of passive decline. It is, not
that mental and physieal degeneracy fol
lows the harem° life and opium-eating. In
Enropean Turkey the Christians, despite a
grinding tyranny, have steadily increased
in numbers within the past half century.
The Mahommisdans have' as rapidly
,dimin
ished, and as the Turkilli armies haVe al
ways been • composed of the Faithful only—.
it` would indeed be perilous .to arm the
rayahs—it is clear that in military strength
the Sultan must be approaching insolvency.
The Christians, under Ottoman rule in
Europe, are three times as numerous as the
Mussulmans; and of the latter, four millions
in number, more than two-thirds are Slavo
nian converts. It will be seen, therefore,
that the pure-blooded Osmanlis, the only
stable support of• the 'Sultan's throne, are
in a very small minority. The empire is
by no means prepared to sustain unaided
the attack of Greeks within, and Greeks
without; yet at this very critical moment,
when the Western Powers shonld above all
things have, been conciliated, ill fortune
would have it that Turkey should commit
an unpardonal4sin in the sight of the
commercial of s, who , hold the purse
strings of England and. France. Whether
the catastrophe was due to the personal
profligacy of Abdul Aziz, as is asserted by
some, or to the malversation of .his minis
ters, it would be difficult to discover ; but
it is certain•that the gravest disaster to. the
Ottoman power which has occurred since
the liberation of Greece, has been the re=
cent failure of the Government to pay the
coupons of the Consolidated 'Debi. Eng
lishmen, in particular, smarting from the
results of their too great confidence in the
roseate pictures of Mr. Layard and Lord
Palmerston, will be little disposed, we im
agine, to encourage any ,projects forrop
ping up a bankrupt"' State. The Levant
has got a bad char:Titer, And; no doubt,
centuries of, oppressionhave produced their
natural effect; -Cruelty,•deceit and disre- .
gard for morality or law, have deformed
the fine Hellenic intellect, and probably``
the Candiotes—like their ancestors, the
Cretans-deserve to be placed among the'
"bad kappas." But in spite of-this, our
sympathies in the present struggle, so
daring and seemingly desperate, should
rather be given to theni than to their 'ty
rants. They fought for liberty through
six long years in the war which set free
their brothers on the 'mainland. They
were unsuccessful, and Europe took no
thought of them. They have been since
misgoverned more shamefully than even
the Syrian Christians; their remonstrances
have been treated as a crime, and, taking'
up arms in self-defenee;theY are now.ex. , 7
posed • to'nll the fhry of. Turkish vengeance,
to be crtished unaided by superior numbers,
to be handed , over to the tender mercies of

to the capital itself, and to encroach on the
south bank of the Danube; by refusal and
defiance, she may call into action forces yet
dormant, and bring upon herself disasters
like that which have befallen Austria. Al

spirit of resistance all around her. Daunted

the part of the Porte are ominous of a‘

that goes before the tempest.

HOW TO TREAT RITUALISM.
The Episcopalian, which has from the
first given no uncertain sound concerning
the lapse of portions of its Church . into the
old Romanistie corruptions, in a late num
ber g ives the following.wholesome views:—
Every one whom God has set in the
Church to teach, to lead, to rule, or to
influence, should follow these examples.
Take the doctrines which are taught and
advocated in some of air churches, and
which are published in works written by
her leading ministers. The real presence
of. Christ in the bread and wine, the juati
fication of the soul by inherent righteou
nese' baptismal regeneration, confession,
worship of the elements used in the Lord's
Supper, and priestly absolution.; is itright
and dutiful to 'God and His Church that
any man- should be merely understood to
hold and teach them, or to repudiate and
oppose them? The people of God have a
right to know beyond all doubt what stand
their teachers take on these doctrines, and
•
every man must be positive and clear in his
statements. Inference—guesses that he is
all right, presumptions that he is correct in
his views, will not satisfy. We want •'to
know which he believes and is prepared to
inculcate, and what his silence on such
topics means.
'So•in regard to the. new ritualistic prac
tices, and the new ecclesiastical dresses ;
it is not sufficient that the leaders of the
Church should be unzkrstood not to favor
them , or to approve them. The professions
and aims of 'ritualism- are not concealed_
The advocates are clear - and outspoken ;
They are not supposed to favor the intro
duction of the Romish Mediaaval, and
,Judaizing primitive or semi-pagan, rites.
They openly contend for them, argue for
their propriety and usefulness.
~They con
tend for Divine approval and,eipect the
Divine blessing. And ihotdd not those who
'abhor these practices, who believe they are
unchristian, superstitions, and disastrous to
the`cause of true religion,'.and.' utterly sub
versive of spiritnality, give Is decided ex=
pression fo their views ? • - ,
If a man is 'understood-. to-oppose them,
how came that understanding to obtain ?
Did he express the unfavorable opinion
, privately, or.was it merely inferred from
some gesture, or meaning silence ? And if
:some have good reason and sufficient ground
to say publicly that any leader is understood
to approve or disapprove - certain practiees,
then should we not have consistent con
duct ? 'Why not come out,' and in' a matter
so iMportant, so exciting and alarming, be
expressly and unmistakably plain.
Bishop Hopkins has done this and the
whole world will respect .him for his candor
and decision. The Church does not merely
understand him to favor ritualiaM. 'We
see his heart is there,•and we hear his
sighs—now feeble with age, yet deep drawn
and expressive—for its 'r eturn. He goes
for "glory and for beauty," for all that the
most advanced ritualists desire.'aHe show's
that he would lead, if he were' a 'younger
man, and contenctwith , tdl his energies' for- :
albs and,copes, , forNhaeubles and tunicles.,
There is , and, can, , be no cloubtpf his posi
tion.
On the other hand we are assured that
the Bishop of the Diocese ofNew York in
whose jurisdictieti the ritualism which is
exciting so much attention, and causing 'so
much pain, sorrow and -unhappiness Fin the
Church, this leader Of eminent poSition, ii
understood to be - Opposed to the whole thing.
Of course we are glad to find it so.. ;We
would publish the, fact to the world, and
cheer the desponding and mourning people
of God by the assurance. We , pray , all

cotemporaries of the religious and secular
press to give circulation to the statement.
But we more earnestly desire that there
might be a clear and decided expression of
his disapproval.
The Bishop is not merely understood to
be opposed to affiliation with Christian
ministers of other denominations. He has,
by addresses, by a pastoral letter, and by
clear protest, shown his decided opposition
to the practice. He has declared his
opinions, argued their correctness, stated
his g practice in conformity with its convic
tions, and thus used all his influence and
authority to render the affiliation unpopular
and to put an end to it. We would like to
see his disapprdial of ritualism expressedin
a manner equally decided and earnest, and
as much stronger as the subject is note
worthy of reprobation. No other form of
disapproval will satisfy earnest and thought:

themselves will ,not, feel: any disquietude

with strength and correetly, as they ,are

AND THE FREEDMEN,
L 4 E. V. M.," the veteran correspondent
of the Chiistian llerald, thus trenchantly
handles the proposed scheme - of tomaniz•"
the freedmen of our country, entertain
ed ity the I:eaent''Baltimore:,Council
.
We unasine the Ronaanists, as well as
many Protestants, are mistaken about one
material fact. They imagine that the
Southern, negroes are a sort of heathendom,
which is open to, conversion and propagand
ism. This is true only in a very partial
measure. The largest body of Southern
negniles already belong to Methodist and
Baptt.st congregations—not, perhaps, as
converted members, but in the same manner
in which they do here. What means has
the Church of Rome to turn these Met ho
dist and Baptist negroes to Romanism ?
They have not been very successful in con
verting whites—can
,they convert negroes
any easier? They propose to roake•twenty
new bishops for this purpose ! Well, if
they make a hundred, it will not advance
the business a single step. But this is
connected with other modes of operatio i n,
which are efficient. The creation of twenty
new bishoprics affords promotion, directly
or indirectly, to many more ambitions
priests. This is the means by which many
of the ablest. Jesuits have been introduced
into this country. They, want (and, to
some extent, will sucoed) to increase the
the number of active and zealous mission
aries, who can go out among the negroes, as
the'Jesuits went among the Chinese.
Supposing these missionaries in the field,
what success will they have ?
,They will
have two things in their favor :—first, the
'suavity and kindliness of the Jesuit priests,
' , noted over the world for their shrewd knowl
edge of human nature, and their conformity
to the ways of the people among whom
they go. They are accessible to all men.
If our Protestant missionaries would adopt
more of the same manners, they would
come much nearer the maxim—be ye wise
as serpents, while ye are harmless as doves.
Another advantage they will have in the
character of the negro. Naturally super
stitious, he will be very ready to believe the
exaggerated stories of saints and miracles
worked by saintly hands. Naturally fond
of show, and subservient to power, he will
be ready to trust in the supposed grandeur
and infallibility of the Roman Church. So
far, the Jesuit missionaries among the
negroes will proceed on safe and hopeful
ground. But there are two rocks on which
.they will be, shipwrecked. The Roman
Catholic Church in this country is de facto
an Irish Church. The German part of it
neither makes nor desires to make much
impression outside of itself. It issiainly
Irish bishops and priests which govlim and
direct the course of the Church. Now, it
is a fact, present and historical, that the
Irish Catholic is an enemy of the negro. It
is likewise a fact that the negro knows this,
and acts inpon it.
In the-General Assembly held in Brook
lyn, May, 1865, was a black Presbyterian
minister from the city of Philadelphia. In
the course of an excellent speech on the
religious, character of the negro, he said :--
" There have been some efforts made to
convert the negroes to Romanism • but
whenever a negro thinks of a Roman atho
lic he thinks of an Irishman, and that ends
the matter." No doubt this feeling is not
quite s.o strong on the plantations of the
South
, Out it must be remembered that
the negroes have a sort of telegraphic way
of communicating with one another to the
most distant part: Wherever• the Roman
propagandist, goes among the negroes, he
will be met by strong prejudices against
him.
But the battle is to be fought among ne
groes, mainly with the same weapons it is
fought with all over the earth. In the
case of the negroes, the advantage is de
cidedly' with the Protestants.. What the
negro needs most—what he desires most—
what he' will take readiest—is education.
The one thing he .wants to do is to read.
Whoever teaches Irim to read, can give him
the Bible, and make it the book of his
hOusehold. ,He longs for knowledge, and
he thirsts after it as no student ever did.
The one great 'work, of the Protestant
among the negroes iS before him,
plain as'
daYlight, and sure as - the path'trod by the
Angel, of Go to the: negro,., quickly,
.
earnestly,.faithfnlly, with the spelling-book
