Mr. W. O. Wilkinson's DANCE OF MODERN
SOCIETY is received. from Messrs. Oakley., Ma
son & Co. of New York. We have already
quoted largely from the independent's remarka
bly,favorable notice of it, and will only add that
it is a vigorous and 9freetive.,discussion of. the
topic. Pp. 17, i.6mo.
, .
DEUS•SEMPEn, by the Author of "'Snout-
Dxus," is a strange ,book, with much that, like
" the peace of God, passeth all understanding."
It is a discussion of the questions of .ontology (or
the science of being). from a Theistic and Chris
tian point of view, and touches on , a multitude of
scientific, metaphysical and religious topics. We;
cannot think the author's style., and vocabulary
happily chosen,luor is our estimate of hiajudg
ment increased by.finding that the closing chap- •
tors are a serious discussion of the mock mysteries
of Odd Fellowship. Published by Claxton,

their science, their literature and their the

the United States than anywhere else in
the world. They are flattered by the great
number of Americans who study at their
universities ' their art and scientific schools.
In addition to this there is a higher sympa
thy, which arises from the fact of a common
progressive spirit. The war of the Union
in Germany invoked similar feelings to the
war of the Union in the United States, and
there is a general feeling that we are both
traveling the same path of progress.
The influence. of so many German theo
logians upon our country will be great; they
will exhibit to our people that. German
ministers and theolograns are evangelical
and earnest Christians, ready for every good:
work they , will. put a check upon those
,reckless Germans among us who would

The,relsgions belief of the, early, Pennsyl
vania Germans was that of the Mennonites
and German Baptists or Tankers. The
'Mennonite were the first to - come.' Their

were Germans who had .teken refuge from
periegution — in * other
Tunkors followed in 1729, and during suc
ceeding years. America soon became the
stronghold .of the new religion. Although
its adherents spread into various parts of
Germany, Holland, and Switzerland, our re
searches lead us to conclude that• the most
of them finally found their way to this coun
try. The Mennonites, on the other hand,
are still more numerous in Europe than
in America, Holland being their stronghold.
Here their founder, Menno Simon, was born
in 1505. - Jacob Amen the leading spirit of
the Amish branch of the Mennonite sect,
was a native of Switzerland.
Strictly speaking, the Tunker and Men
nonite' faiths 'were almost identical at the
time of which we are writing, differing only
in Minor particulars. Both sects recognized
andstill,rpeognize the Dortrecht Confession
of 1632 as their standard oftheological belief.
The points of, differenee relate chiefly 'to
Churcliiovernment and other' outward ob
servancea; -but liven in these there '-is 'great
similarity of.practice. The Mennonites were
in existence, long anterior to the Tunkers.
Menno Simon, their ; founder, was a, cotem-
Porary of Luther "in the sixteenth century,
while the Tunlierisi did 'not 'hair° a denomi
national existence until beginning of the
eighteenth century i their first church having
,been organized in 1708,i at, Sw.artzenau,,in
