{Ritualism is a progressive science, and so escapes
the objection often brought against theology by skep
tical savans, The last and most advanced result was
a Harvest Home at Haydock, in Lancashire, where a
long procession passed singing through the fields and
lanes, bearing banners, and clad in surplices, birettas,
etc., etc., bearing the first fruits of the earth to the
Church of St. James, where they were placed upon
the altar. The list of offerings include : "Apig's
head, decked out with flowers, corn, and berries; a
large pat of butter, stamped with a lamb; a loaf of
bread with A. M. D. G. on the crust; two smaller
pats of butter, several white and blue wax candles for
use on the altar,
richly ornamented, white silk cha
suble, stole, and maniple; a loaf of bread stamped
another loaf of bread, a splendid bouquet of flowers,
a special offering in money,.tWelve fresh eggs , in moss
baskets." The vicar preached a sermon after the ser
vice, in which he made vigorous use of his crucifix.
The outburst of scorn and indignation which followed
the report of these proceedings was so general that
even the moderate Ritualist, papers joined in it. The
Conservative Church of England papers say . that the
Church may suppress heresy by canons ' and creeds,
but no canons will keep a man from being a tool and
showing himself 6ne4- '
The W orship of the Virgin. is becoming a regu
lar Ritualistic practice. The Romish festivals in tier
honor are openly kept, and in a procession at Lam
beth, (a district of London), a hymn was sung in
which she was addressed as "Mother of Salvation,"
"full of grace," "Queen of earth and heaven," &c.,
&c., and calld on to
“Intercede while sin is strong,
Christ thy voice is heeding,” &c.
Father Ignatius preached recently in a church
on Lombard St., (the Wall St., of London), on a week
day, and gave his mercantile audience piece of his
mmd. " Jericho was never so bad as Lombard Street,
for in Jericho, evil as it was, the people never raised
a.god of gold and then fell down to worship it. There
were many blind people in Jericho, indeed they were
all blind, but not blind in the natural sense. They
had a sort of Lombard Street blindness about them.
They took shadows for the substance, and saw no
more than the bankers, merchants, money-changers,
clerks, even down to the errand-boys of that neigh
borhood." This language aroused antagonism, and a
well-dressed crowd, some hundreds of Whom Were
from the banking-houses and merchants' offices of the
neighborhood, besieged the doors of the church, and
there seems to have been a concerted plan to attack
Father Ignatius when he: should leave the building.
Neither he nor by far the greater part of the congre
gation could do this without danger. Those who did
so were pelted with apples, and several high-church
looking clergymen and a number of ladies who wore
crosses were specially insulted. When Father Igna-
tius himself at length came out, hundreds' of men
rushed from the many lanes about the church, and,
in spite of the police, an attempt was made to upset
the cab which had been brought for him. Only by
the arrival of a strong body of police was he saved
from worse than insult.
George Muller's Work.—The report for 1867-8,
shows that the receipts in money and goods 'for the
year amount to $130,000 which has been expended on
the Orphan Establishment at Ashley Downs, near
Bristol, and on the Scripture Knowledge Institution.
The former embraces five large stone houses, con
taining twelve hundred orphan children and Muller
is making an addition of two houses, which will enable
him to receive 2,050. In thirty-three years he has
received unsolicited contributions to the amount of
£552,000, and although no year has been so trying
to his faith as that just closed, the results confirm
him in the belief that faith' and prayer are the true
method of eliciting the-benevoterrce . of God's. people.
Some one writes of him to The Boston Journal :—"He
lives in the simplest style, and does not allow himself
a lounge or a rocking-chair, unless he is sick. He was
a poor man when he began, and is a poor man to-day,
though he has handled millions of money, and could
have spent it as he would."
London Traders Speak.—Upon the proposed
rules of the new King's Cross Market being submit
ted, last week, by Mr. Robinson, (one of the proprie
tors), to the numerous shop-keepers and stall-hold
ers, the question, "Sunday or no Sunday?" was, 'we
are thankful to state, unequivocally . dismissed by a
thoroughly unanimous vote, eliciting hearty cheer
ing, with a general shout of, "No work on Sunday !
No Sunday trading!"
English and French liforality.—Rev. M. Ho
bart Seymour, in the " Record," controverts the state
ment that the morality of Roman Catholic cities is
greater than that of Protestant ones. In the year
1864 there were 653,950 convictions for. various of
fences in France, and in England 246,576. - In Paris
the proportion of illegitimate births is 33 per cent.,
in Brussels, 35, and in Vienna 51 per cent.; while in
English cities and towns the average proportions is
only about 6 per cent.
The Needs of London.—With a town of say
10,000 persons, we shall find that the 3,000,000 of
people in London, contain as many Jews as would
hll twc‘towns; as many workers on the Sunday as
would fill ten towns, and as many habitual gin
drinkers as would fill fourteen towns. More persons
than would fill ten towns are every ,
year taken. off
the streets in a state of intoxication; two towns, ight
be filled with fallen women ; one with gamblers; two
with children trained in crime; three with thieves
and receivers of stolen ,goods; half .a town .with Ita
lians; two with French; four with Germans onirWith
Greeks; while there are as many Irish as would fill
the city of Dublin ; and more Roman Catholics than
would fill the city of Rime. 'Besillei all' these, there
are 20,000 public houses and beer-shops, with 500,000
people as customers, who frequent them. In London
one in every 800 of the people are insane; there is
one baker for every 1,206 persons, one Ibutcher for
every 1,553, one grober for every/1,800, and one pub
lican for every 668 of the inhabitants.

Popular Education in Prance.—The war be
tween the Minister of Public Instruction (Duruy)
and Mgr, Darboy, Bishop of Orleans,—or rather
between national and clerical systems of education—
is waged with unceasing vigor. Statistics show that
aftei half a century of the latter system, in 1862
forty out of one hundred women contracting mar
riage were utterly illiterate, iand a :Urge 44portion
even of those who professed to, be educated could
barely sign their names. The men were somewhat
more intelligent, but twenty-eight per cent, could not
sign the marriage register, and pne- third of the con
scripts could neither read nor write. M. Duruv has
introduced a great reform which will probably do
much to divorce ignorance and devotion, and wed the
latter to intelligence.
The Reform movement in education begins to ex
tend wider than was n't anticipated. = The munici
pal council of Chatdaii Thierry has decided td expel
the Christian Brothers from the common schools in
that locality, and to replace them by lay teachers.
The local newspaper stating the fact adds that " the
oungsters will not be losers by the change, as the
Brothers' pupils sperid most of their time in stam
mering over their rosary, in repeaiing long prayers.

ian Brothers. France is evidently following Austria
n this matter.
The Change in Spain since the beginning of the
month is one in which we all rejoice, as a change for
the better. Julian Vargas, " the prisoner of the Lord"
at Malaga had been released on bail before the storm
burst; but he expected, when called upon, to answer
for the offence of holding and teaching Bible truth be
fire the civil tribunal. Through a change in the
judges he was hoping to be treated with more justice
and mildness. "Who is he that condemneth" now?
The people of Spain by their uprising, demanding religi
ous equality before the law, have justified him. The
local Junta at Seville have granted permission for the
erection of a Protestant Church in the city. As city
after city gives in her adherence to the Ceara' Junta,
the demand comes from each that the religious,oplers
be abolished, that religious liberty be established, and
(some add) that the clergymen be stripped of their
ill-gotten gains and their unjust immunities. The
Junta respend4 heartily to the second of these de
mands, and as regards the first they haire abolished
the order of the Jesuits, ever the first objects of just
popular veng,eance. ,
The prominence of this demandlor religious equal
ity and liberty in the present movement is very re
markable, and indicates that, even in "Catholic
Spain,"-dissent from "-theClaurch-'?- has'lleerrof-wide
sprea prevalenCe. HOw •far halibeen
the result of the spreading of a purer faith, and how
far only that indifferance to all religion which is
ever the reaction against, superstition and priestcraft,
time will show. One thing is certain, the govern
mental shoe has pinched the popular foot in this res
pect or there would have been no such outcry. The
liberation of Italy was not attended by any such
hopeful sign.
The'Ecumenioaltonpeil.The,ai,o'inate Boin'a
brings the text of the Apostolic letter; addressed by
the Pope to all the Bishops of the East'who are not
in communion with the , Holy See: , --"His. Holiness,
turning his eyes toward those churcheS which for
merly depended -on^ the Apostolic" See hy:tins of unity,
deplorei the 'schism Which liaa'so long separated them,
and recalls to their memory that at the commence
ment of his pontificate he addressed to those churches
words of peace and charity. Although; hese have
as yet produced no result, he does not despair of one
day finding heaven listening to his humble and fer
vent prayer in this regard. He seizes the occasion
of the approaching council again to conjure the bish
ops willingly to repair to that Assembly, as their pre
decessors in past times did to the Council of Lyons,
under Gregory X., and to that of.Frdrenee,during the
pontificate of Eugenius _IV., in order, says his Holi
ness, that the rules of ancient charity may, be re
vived."
The Pope's apostolical letter to Protestants and
other "non-Catholics" has been published in England.
The Church. News (ritualistic) expressed its
ness to forgive the Holy,Father for classing Anglicans
with Protestantsin" hid apostolia' letter to non-Cath
lies. The blame of this mistake, it says, is not at
tributable to His Holiness, but to somebody in Eng
land. The Rev. Dr.. Wilite, Prestiyterian, ,minister,
of Islington Phurch/Livegool, has'writtexvia4letter
to. the Pope, declining His Holiness's inyita.tion,to
Protestants "to return to the Roman Catholic Church,"
in connection with the praPosed General 'Council, bn
the ground that he cannot do so consistently with
his subscription to the. Westminister,•Confession of
Faith. Like a lady, hOwever, the reverend doctor
concentrates all the pith of his letter into the post
script, which runs as follows: "I sincerely congratu
late your Holiness on the improved tone of your
communication. Might I venture to suggest that
you would carry out the assumed spirit a little fur
ther, so as to grant to all the inhabitants of Rome
liberty to worship God according to the dictatps of
their conscience ; and also to exert your great' influ
ence.to,o6tain the release of those, who are pining in
Spanish and other dungeons in Roman Catholic coun
tries for reading the' Word}of God."
[We presume that this last 'request will hardly be
pressed, so far as Spain is concerned:]
A Christian Literature for Ita'y is what the
"Italian Evangelical Society " have undertaken to
supply. The circulation of the Bible began twenty
years ago in Tuscany, and in secret. It was 'followed
spiterof the risk,'by iiiitable.:books and tracts. The
Waldensian Church availed herself of the liberty se
cured in 1848, in Piedmont; and began a station at
Turin, and two generous Irish ladies supplied them
with hand presses and type. What they could ac
complish by these was - done, and from Piedmont; as
a base of operations, their publications were secretly
spread ,down through the Penineula. When at, last
full religious liberty was secured >by=the restoration
of "The Kingdom of Italy," the " Italian Publicatiiin
Society," was organized to meet the larger needs of
the situation. They too, began their 'work in Turin,
and it has grown upon their hands till 'their Cata
logue embraces 350 works, from one page .tracts -to
volumes of 500 pages. The years 1866 and 1867
were periods of special trial and difficulty. The cur
rency, the cholera,
,political distrust, ally weighed
heavily on commerce, but in those two yearh3hey
sold 268,000 books and tracts, many of whicli are in
such demand that edition after edition is exhausted
as soon as printed. They have 'in many cases been
permitted to see the harvest as well as to sow the
seed. These works have led many to the reading of
the Word; many more into its meaning; many more
under its yoke of‘ authority. In a word they have
combatted theignorance the stupidity and the skep
ticism of a priest-ridden but priest-hating people.
They have gone arhei% :-Ev,angelists could not go;
they have stayed w,here, :Evangelists could not stay.
They have ioulled down the strOngholds of error;
they have built up the weak in a holy faith.
The Baptist Churches in. Sweden report during
the last year, 850 members by baptism. Nine new
churches were formed, and•the total number of Bap
tists was 7,478, in 191 churches. Many of the churches
have not 'sent their statistics. A great drawback to
the increase of the denomination arises from the emi
gration to America. The First church in Stockholm
has-already lost about 100 by emigration. In Skane
there had*befin a greitt revival, and one brother had
baptized over 200 in seven months.
Conversions to the Greek Church.—A singular
procession was noticed the other day passing through
the Ivlcirskaj Stredtrin Petersburgh. Twenty Jews,
with a white cross chalked on their backs, were car
ried.along under strong military escort. It appears
that these wretched beings had been condemned to
deportation to Siberia, but had prayed to be converted
to the Orthodox Church in order that the usual par
don might be granted to them. Inatead of being
obliged to work in the mines, they are allowed to
"settle", inßiberia ,as a reward for embracing the
faith.- 7 -Pag 4.l*l'qaz.qte.
Barkerismin India.—At the close of a letter,
" Carleton " to The Boston Journal states.: "The Ba
boos [wealthy princes, merchants, etc.,] have given
up idols and the Shasters„ and-have , for themselves
accepted Theodore Parker.' Some are Pantheists,
others Deists. lam informed by those who are inti
mate with the 'educated Hindoos; that .no modern
writings have exercised a greater influence than those
of Theodore Parker. It involves no loss of caste' to
believe in him, but to become aghristian, to attend
church, and receive the rite ofbatktistri,,,to believe in
Jesus as a Saviour, is to become an apostate,—un
clean and impure. No man
,can .become, a Christian .
without being cast off by his. cletire'st . friends; -wife,
children, father, mother, aU hate and curse him; but
no such consequences follow when idols and Shasters
are rejected and the theology of Mr. Parker. .is, ac
ceptedAnstead. 1 merely state the fact; 'leaving it
for other to draw whatever,eonclusions. they may ar
rive at from such - phenomena." '. He adds: "It is:
evident to the most casual observer that the country,
is making great Piogress, and that for the two hun-t
dred millions of this land, truly it may, 'The morn
ing light is breaking.'"
Missionary Success in India.—" 'Missionaries
are humbugs,' said a red-laced, beef-eating surgeon
of the Indian army, on board the steamer from
Sue 4 India would be much better off without
them.' •''The.missionaries have riot accomplished
much ; the money sent out for their support, is all
thrown away,' said another surgeon, for we had
several on board. '
"Per. contra. 'There are some very fine men
among thern,' said the captain of the steamer, 'and
they have done a great deal of good.'
"Facts and figures are better than opiniotis,, and
very much better than. prejudices. The census re
turns for India give thenumber of native Christians
connected with Protestant churches at abotit 200,-
000—all. the result of missionary effort. That is
only one feattire; for the census does not give the
great number' of children acquiring an-education
in missionary schools, : whieh are acknowledged to
be far superior to the government schools. The cen
sus does not give the facts in regard to the moral
influence which has gone out from the missionary
schools,' but it is so great that army Officericaritiot
ildis%; as former times, have nautch.,:girhitO danee

no missionaries;
