OTHER 'DENOMINATIONS.
Episcopalian.—Most of the English
railway companies have determined not
to pay any more Church Rates. The
Bristol and Exeter shareholders, how-
ever, are threatened with a discussion of
the question at their next meeting. In
the annual report, the directors point
out that, previously to the passing of the
compulsory Church Rates Abolition Act,
they uniformly declined to contribute to
the voluntary assessments which were in
existence in many of the parishes
through which their line passed, and
paid only such rates as were " made and
leviable • legally on the parish at large."
Now that the payment of Churdh Rates
is a matter of individual option rather
than of legal obligation, the directors
hold that the same considerations apply
to the present rates as to the previous
voluntary assessments.
—Archdeacon 'Martin, of Kilmore,
makes a curious:calculation Totaling to
the 3 austentation of the. Iri . sh' Chnrch.
The ,total income of the Church hefore
its 'diseatablishmont was, in round num
hers, £600,000. FrOm the income tax
returns he deduces the fact that the in
come derived from land is•about thirteen
millions, of which ten million probably
belong to Churchmen;and from other
sources, including funed property, abbut
eight millions and a half, of which one
half; equivalent to above two millions of
certain income, belong to Churchmen.
Thus 5 per cent. of the incomes of
Churchmen would be eqnivalent to the
whole income hitherto enjoyed by the
Church. To point the moral of the call
culation, the Archdeacon adds that he
will feel himself bound to pay at least
such a life subscription to the disestab-
lished Church.
—At the church congress which held
its session lately in Liverpool, Bigland,
Dr. Mowson, the dean of Chester, in an
able sermon, advised the clergymen of
the assembly to allow themselves to be
leive that there are Christians outside of
their own denominational communion.
He said that a disdainful dislike of dis-
senters is one of the most • dangerous
propensities, in which Churchmen can
indulge. A disposition of the different
denominations to regard each other with
Christian esteem is one of the, favorable
indications of our age.
—A Honolulu correspondent of the
San Francisco Alta, writing from that
city under date of Oct. 20th, says:
" During the past year, the members of
the :English Church have been sorely
troubled in consequence of the Bishop
and Dean of Honolulu having [Roman]
Catholic tendencies, and conducting the
service almost the same as in the Chlrch .
of Rome; and the extraordinary'dog
mas preached by the gentlemen have so
annoyed the members that they have de,
termined on'sending for a clergyman of
their own. Revs. Mr. Whipple and
Turner leave by this steamer, it is said,
because they would not conform to the
High Church notions of the Dean.
These gentlemen have gained the respect
of our people, and their loss will be
much felt. The Bishop is at present on
his way from England, and it is just
possible that when, he returns, his con
gregation. will have deserted him."
—The statement is made that Bishop
Mcllvaine reported the canon, at the
last General Convention, which forbade
the recognition of the clerical standing
of ministers of other denominations. It
was Bishop Mcllvaine who, at that very
time, about two years ago, entered the
hall of our Philadelphia Convention, at
the head of a train of clergymen, and
exchanged most cordial fraternal greet
ings with its members, his own address
closing with these words : "I stand here
now to do the work of that Committee
[appointed so me years previous] in a union
of the, Churches of Christendom. In
the name of the House of Bishops that
appointed it, and greet you, dear breth
ren, in the name of the Lord Jesus
Christ. It appears, however, that his
Connection with the whole matter was a
purely official one, and in no way im
plied his approval of the obnoxious
canon.
