The Ecumenical Council.
—The Pope's council is 'a failure so far as the
Istern Churches are concerned. The Greek
Patriarch would not look at the letter of invi
tation though it was handsomely bound in red
iberocco and emblazoned with gold letters bear
mg his own name. He had read all about it in
the newspapers, and did not see how the Coun
il do aught but lead to further strife. The
peace once aimed at by the two Churches had
,ng fallen to the ground. His mind was per
,etly easy on the subject. And so the gorgeous
olume was taken from the tiivan and handed
back to the legate, who was bowed out, and de
pined in peace. The Metropolitan of Chalce
an returned the Encyclical, with the simple
but graphic " Epistrephete," which might be
, froly rendered " Avaunt." The Bishop of
Varna did not see how he could accept what his
:,aster had refused, and so he sent back the En-
The Bishop of Salonica had no less
man five reasons for his declining. Yet there
were some exceptions which the oficial Roman
press calls " consoling." One schismatic Bishop
returned the letter, yet with the promise that he
would think about it for himself ' ; and another,
the venerable, Bishop of Trebizond, seems to
have been quite overcome, and received the Ecu
menical with most profound reverence, pressed
it to his forehead, then to his bosom, looked at
it from all sides, for alas ! he knew not the mys
cry of Latin characters, and exclaimed from
time to time, " 0 Rome! 0 Rome! 0 Holy
Peter ! 0 Holy Peter I" But, adds the official
account quaintly enough, it was utterly impossi
ble to get anything else out of him—notably,
whether he meant to .come to the Council or
not.
—The North German Correspondence gives
the following view of the Council : " All the
greatest thinkers and scholars of the Church will
either be absent or in disfavor. The intellect of
the Church is on one side and the servility of
its priests on the other. The German and Aus
trian episcopate is almost. unanimous in opposi
sition to the Curia. The greatest leaders of the .
Galilean Church are on the same side. All that
is venerable in ecclesiastical tradition, all that
commands the respect of the intellect and the
reverence of the heart in the system and history
of the Church of Rome is 'opposed to the precis.-
nation of the new dogma. .Should the Curia
succeed in its self-willed .attempt, Catholicism
will lose the small hold it Atilt retains on the
mental movements of our generation, and the
name of the Pope will be reverenced in the most
lawless districts of Ireland, and the least civi
lized States of South America alone."
—The Russo-Polish clergy have instructed
their delegates to the Ecumenical Council to op
pose the union of the temporal and spiritual
powers, the dogma of the infallibility, the inju
dicious education of the clergy, and the organi
zation of the college of Cardinals, which practi
cally excludes foreigners. The Times predicts
that, the dogma of Papal infallibility will be
decreed. It believes the political aims of the
Jesuits will be nullified by the European govern
ments.
- .
—The fourth congregation of the Council will
be held December 30, when the election of
twenty-four members of the Committee on Re
ligious Orders will take place. It is expected
that as non as the committees are completed,
the discussion of proposals concerning faith will
commence.
—Mgr.Dupanloup, Bishop. of Orleans, seems to
be returning from the husks and swine-feeding
of Ultramontanism, to his first love. An
anonymous circular, received by all the bishops
or the Church, urging that to proclaim the
Papal Infallibility would be a huge blunder, is
now traced to him, on account of the identity of
its arguments and position with those urged in
his recent Pastoral to the Cler,gy of his Diocese.
Ile urges that if the dogma is true " then
liossuet, Fenelon and Bellarmine did not know
their catechism." But it is also inexpedient :
Seventy-five millions of the Eastern Church
are separated for nine centuries by the doctrine
of Papal supremacy. Shall a more and more in
superable bar to union be added thereto ? You
would say to the Greeks, There is now a ditch
between us : we would make an abyss.' This
would be to make a laughing-stock of the
authority that with the same breath beckons and
drives away."
—Great excitement and controversy has been
caused by the opposition of Bishop Maret, Dean
of the newish Theological Faculty at Paris, to
the promulgation of the dogma of the Papal In
fallibility, The Jesuits, the Ultramontanes, all
the votaries of pontifical absolutism, accuse M.
Maret of heresy, and declare that, notwithstand
ing his episcopal dignity, and the fact that he
they bb regarded as the highest official teacher
of theology in the French Church, his principles
will be condemned in the Council. Their chief
ground of complaint against this learned bishop
is their notion that " under all circumstances
the Pope ought to obtain the assent of the epis
copate." rhe Jesuitical faction pretend that
" the ancient doctrine of pontifical infallibility
is overthrown by this assertion of independence."
—A Conference of fifty Protestant pastors of
the South met Oct. z7th, at Marseilles. The
i
, unference asserted the Godhead of Christ, and
heard papers in defence of the Scriptures, and
on the holding of a National Synod to reform
and purify the National Protestant Church.
England.
—The Bishop of London states that there now
exist in that city more than a thousand associa
tions for charitable purposes, administering an.
nually about £4,000,000, in addition to the
regular assessments of the poor rates. Yet there
is such a spread of want, misery, pauperism and
crime in that metropolis, that the authorities are
at their wits' end to meet it.
—The excitement among the Baptists of Eng
land on the question of sending out celibate mis
sionaries to India called forth a vote at the meet
ing of their missionary society held last month,
to the effect that the Committee did not intend
" to impose celibacy on the missionaries, but sim
ply to require that candidates should remain un
married during a probation of two years, and
while engaged in a particular kind of itinerant
work."
Ireland.
—The Catholic clergy of Cork have held a
conference on the evils of intemperance, and re
solved to entreat ail employers to pay wages on
Friday instead of Saturday, so as to diminish
Sunday drunkenness.
—There is no Church in Ireland, Catholic or
Protestant, that numbers as many members to.
day as it did fifteen years ago. This is owinc , to
emigration, which has, in that time, reduced the
population 18 per cent.
—The Irish bishops have resolved to sit and
vote as a separate order when they deem proper,
or, in other words, to have the power of vetoing
any proposal with which they disagree. When
the recent lay Conference agreed that the clergy
should meet as a separate order, they never un
derstood it in this light, and they are beginning
to let that be known. A meeting of lay-delegates
at Nenagh, presided over by Lord Rbsse, voted
greatly regretting the resolution of the bishops,
and strongly protested against the bishops having
the power of a veto in diocesan Synods. The
laity are resolved that their recognition shall be a
real one. The c'ergy are writing to the papers
that the Presbyterian• element is making itself
too much felt.
—The movement for a Sustentation Fund ,is
making rapid progress among the Presbyterians.
One congregation after another is holding meet
ings and arranging a canvass of its members; so'
that, by the time the special assembly meets, and
that, it is now said, will, be January, most of
them will have spoken. Though the result of
the canvass is not yet known, the first subscrip
tions made show a liberality far in advance of
what has been ever found in the church, con
fessedly not an illiberal one, and that the calcula
tion of the Sustentation Committee is much be
low rather than above what will be received.
Scotland.
—An immense excitement exists at this mo
ment in a Northern parish called Rathreen. The
Established' minister thinks he is in need of a
new manse or dwelling house, and in this opinion
he is supported by his Presbytery. But land•
owners,—or " Heritors,"—care wonderfully little
about the Church (most of them are Episcopa
lians); and having discovered, by means of a new
reading of an old set of Parliament; that not . th'e
land only, but all the property upon the land is
assessible for ecclesiastical purposes, they refuse
to undertake an atom of responsibility beyond
what they are legally bound to undertake. The
result is, the Established minister is seeking to
raise £1,200 by a tax laid upon every man,
whatever may be his religious profession, who
has the smallest bit of a house of his own. The
parish includes a number of fishing villages, in
which there have been several remarkable revi
vals of religion of recent years—revivals in which
the Established clergy, as a rule, took exceed
ingly little interest, and this demand has made
the poor people literally wild. Of course they
will, in the end, have to give in and pay; but a
case like that (and whenever a church or manse
is erected now for the Establishment, the, same
thing substantially
.has to be gone through,) does
not tend to strengthen the bonds of union be
tween the Church and State. The English Lib
eration Society see that here there is a manifest
joint in the armor, and it is now a part of the
programme of that Society to assail directly the
Establishment in Scotland.—Corr. Observer.
—At the Annual Synod of the Scottish Epis
copal Church, a discussion took place among the
Bishops on the propriety of granting the prayer
of a number of petitions, asking that a General
Synod should 'be summoned for the purpose of
considering whether the privileges of the laity in
ecclesiastical administration should not be in
creased. Bishop Wordsworth was afraid that
the laity was going too fast. It was unanimous
ly resolved that it be remitted to the several Dio
cesan Synods specially convened for the purpose,
to consider the subject of the admission of the
laity to additional powers and functions in the
Synods of the Church, with. the view of inform
ing the. Bishops before they consent to the con
vening of a General Synod as to what extent, if
any, such admission should be granted, and by
what means it should be carried into effect.
—Mackonochie has , again been before the
Privy Council at the instance of the Church As
sociation. It was alleged that Mr. Mackonochie
has not obeyed the decree of the Court-as to the
elevation of the elements in the communion, as to
prostration before those elements during the
prayer of consecration, and as to the use of
lighted candles when not required for the pur
pose of giving light. It was prayed that the Judi
cial Committee of the Privy Council will declare
that he has not complied with the judicial moni
tion in these respects, and that some enforce
ment may be made; so that "right and justice
may be effectually dope." The Council sus
tained the petition except as to the altar lights,
and ordered the respondent to desist from the
other practices and pay the costs of the suit.
—ln the parish of Heapey, Lancashire, the
majority of the Church of England congregation,
numbering some 500 persons, have left the parish
church, and set up worship in a vacant room in
a mill, and commenced to build a church edifice
for themselves. They have, moreover, voted
unanimously to leave the Church of England and
set up for themselves as a free church. The im
mediate cause of the movement was the refusal
of the old and infirm rector to appoint a curate
whom the people desired. All attempts at re
conciliation have, thus far, proved ineffectual.
About fifty only remain at the pariah church.
PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1869.
—Rev. Edward Husband (Romish priest),
in a pamphlet bearing the title, " Why I left the
Church of England," writes to this effect: " I am
bound with thankfulness, to acknowledge that it
was Ritualism that led me to Rome. This ex
perience is being confirmed daily by the numbers
who are seeking admission into the fold. It is in
this way that Ritualism is doing good. In ma
king men love the shadow, they soon yearn for
the reality; thus paving the way to the goal of
peace which lies before them."
France.
—The population of France consists nominally
of 36,300,664 Roruanists, 1,591,250 Protestants,
158,994 Jews, and 17,000 of other sects. The
Romanist Church receives from the State Trea
sury nearly £2,000,000; the two Established
Protestant Churches £59,737, amounts increased
to £4,000,000 and £150,000 by private contri
butions and resources of all sorts. The Luther
ans are governed by a General Consistory at
Strasburg, the Reformed by a Council of Ad
ministration at Paris.
—M. Prevost, Paradol, in a recent lecture
before the Edinburg Philosophical Institution,
said,, that the power of the Catholic Church has
been on the increase in the provisional towns for
thirty years or so, and the clerical influence has
wonderfully progressed during that period among
the bourgeoise, apPmr and lower, which had for
merly thrown off so decidedly its allegiance to
the Catholic Church. There is, in these pro
vincial towns, or rather above them, something
which never changes nor - moves, but which also
never sleeps—it is the Catholic Church, much
more powerful there than in the wholly rural dis
trict. The old Voltaireanisin, as it was termed,
has disappeared from our upper and middle pro
vincial classes, to subsist only in a part of the
youth, where it becomes mere Materialism or
Positivism; and also among the workmen, where
,unbelieving is only one of the phases of the great
struggle still raging between the Catholic Church
and the Revolution. This movement has been
determined by the resentment and fear which the
Revolution of February, 1848, and the threats of
socialism had spread through the conservative part
of the nation. It is the reaction against socialism,
which has mostly revivified clerical influence in
France, and that Catholic feeling was so much ex
cited by the events which occurred in Italy, and
the dangers to which the Papacy was exposed, that
the Emperor was obliged to stop short, and to give
up or postpone his designs as to the abolishment or
transformation of the temporal power. But in the
same manner as our conservative classes were in
duced to return to Catholic tendencies and to
foster Catholic interests, our revolutionary class
es, and the democratical party at large, began
again, as of old, to consider the Catholic Church
,
as their mbst powerful and their bitterest enemy.
The old struggle between the Revolution and the
Catholic Church has arisen afresh, and was in no
time so virulent as it is now. It is now a rule,
and nearly a patriotic obligation, among Demo
crats, to forbid by a last will, at their funeral.
those religious ceremonies which, in Catholic
countries, are so important in the eyes of the pub
lic.
In view of the danger of a Revolution M.
Paradol thinks the Church's best chance is to be
cut .way from the State, atid"lie - left - free as 'well
as unpaid; but there are chinces also if its be
ing, at least for a short time, treated as a public
enemy, not as to its members, but as to,its liber
ties and properties. It is a compound of moral
greatness and moral miseries, and, when looked
at closely,' it is easy to understand the admiration
and devotion as well as the' hatred it inspires.
The Church keeps its strength still in France be
cause, the conduct of .our clergy iszenerally good;
because the women, who are invested in our coun
try with a great social influence, are mostly and
earnestly attached to the Church; and also be
cause Christian and natural virtues, blended as
they are with religion envelop and sustain the
Catholic Church, as thei ivy,which clings with
ever new and protective tenacity to some,old and
decaying construction. In France any change
from one form of religious 'worship to another is
of the gimatest difficulty, because theological
questions do not stand, much hefore general at
tention, and religion in Our country consists much
more in a religious feeling tlian in a clear and
firm .adhesion to such or such articles of faith.
—Rev. Henry Grattan Guinness has established
very successful meetings for, the instruction of
the lower classes during the past year in Paris.
Due public notice is given in many ways, short
addresses by pastors and laynien compose the ex
ercises; largepumbers have attended. This suc
cess has excited generous emulation amongst the
pastors'. of Paris, connected both with the
National and the Free Churches, for in the work
of evangelization, the different communions are
in complete agreement, and give each other the
hand of brotherly affection. Forty pastors re•
cently assembled under the presidency of the
Rev. Guillaume Monod, in the Taitbout Chapel,
which is in the hands of an independent congre
gation. The hall was completely filled. A num
ber of ministers, together .with „several intelli
gent and pious laymen, have engaged to hold
regular services.,; in the different faubourn o f
Paris, on the different days of* the week. There
is no remuneration for this good work.
—The festival of the Reformation was cele
brated in all the Protestant Churches in Paris,
November 7th. This is a new institution, and
one which attracts a great number of hearers to
the religious services. The preachers remind
their audiencies of the pious examples of the Re
formers, and of our fathers, the oid Huguenots
They..shaw how Evangelical faith is fruitful in
deeds of fidelity, of zeal, and of self-sacrifice, and
awaken the historic consciousness of the Christian
congregation.
—The Protestants-are holding meetings through
out the departments to call attention to their dis
tinctive views. At Brest, a principal maritime
city, the meetings were presided over by Pastor
Vaurigaud, Rev. Mr. Jenkins, (English) and
othef eminent preachers. M. Rouffet, a Roman
Catholic by birth, and now a professor in one of
the colleges, communicated to the assembly the
weighty reasons which had compelled him to
leave the Roman Catholic Church, and to enter
the Protestant communion. Another bearer,
born in the province of Brittany, encouraged by
this example of, sincerity, made another declara
tion of the same kind. He stated that he had
for five years resided in a Carmelite monastery,
but that, disgusted with the' superstitions of the
monks, and not having found peace for his soul
he had turned towards the Gospel Christ. He
is now engaged in distributing copies of the
Bible and of religious tracts amongst his fellow
countrymen.
—The Lutheran church in Alsace has been
agitated lately by the Directory having removed
Pastor Lceffier from his parish of Heilig
stein, on the expressed wish of a portion of his
congregation. His preaching had a deep shade
of ultra Lutheranism. A protest against this
act, signed by seventy householders, and another
from several pastors have not altered the decision.
A threat of separation has been uttered.
—lt is stated in the London Tablet that Car
dinals .Reisach and Cullen, and Archbishop Man
ning and Purcell have been appointed by the
Pope to confer with non-Catholic bodies. "Dr.
Cumming of Scotland," can make his choice of
any of these " discreet persons."
----Iri the last two months the Papal Corps,
composed chiefly of German and Swiss mercen
aries, has lost so many men by desertion that
the number has sunk from 1,700 to 1 100, and
in the rest of the army the utmost difficulty is
experienced in keeping the companies full. As
Pope Pius is anxious at the coming Council to
show the bishops, in its full strength, the army
raised and supported at great cost by the faith
ful, grand efforts are being made to obtain fresh
recruits, but no longer, it seems with the former
success.—. North German Correspondent.
—The Archbishop of Genoa, a worthy and
patriotic man, sooner than take part in the com
ing General Council, has resigned his diocese,
and his resignation has been accepted. This
leaves at least one bishop in reserve to inaugur
ate in due apostolic succession alleformed Cath
olic Church of Italy, if such should be decided
on by the Italian Government.
--The Bishop of Sara in Italy has written a
book on the Council, which has greatly excited
the Jesuits, and they are urging the Pope to,
condemn it, fearing that it may introduce dis
sensions in the meeting of the Bishops. The
desired anathema is said to be forthcoming,
though the Pope may hesitate, since it is whis
pered in certain circles that the Bishop is but
the mouth-piece of the Emperor Napoleon!
—The Rev. James Gibson, of the Irish Pres
byterian Church, who has been appointed a mis
sionary to Spain, has made an appeal in behalf
of his mission, in which he states that never
since the Reformation, has there been such an
opening for the gospel on the continent as there
is at this time in Spain. The people, especially
in the northern half of Spain, are crying out
for Evangelists.
—Alhama, the Spanish Evangelist, who was
recently arrested on some political pretext, has
been liberated on bail, and it is thought will

—The fair at Alcala—the birth place of Cer
vantes—was attended by the Evangelists like that

China and Japan.
—One of the reasons why the Papacy has
made such rapid progress in China, is that Budd
hism has already familiarized the.mind of the
Chiuese with the use of " the cross, the mitre,
the dalmatic, the hood, the office of ? two choirs,
the psalmody, the exorcisms, the censer of five
chains, the rosary, the celibacy of the clergy,
spiritual retirement, the worship of saints, fasts,
processsions, litanies, holy-water, and the bene
diction of the priest by placing his right hand
on the head of the faithful."

—The New York Tablet says that The Catholic
World is becoming more and more conservative,

December, it no good Catholic could take
such a position; and that, Since then Dr. Brown
son has so far yielded his previous judgment as
to defend the Syllabus as the great fact of the

—English papers state that Mr. Laurence
Oliphant, a former member of Parliament, who

with a community of Swedenborgian Socialists at

A correspondent of the Vermont Record says
that possibly the oldest book in America, is a
Latin copy of Herodotus, in the library of the
American Antiquarian Society, at Worcester,

was for sale in New York, a volume of Calderius'

ed in 1474. The oldest printed' document of a

victory, he fell, mortally wounded, at the head
of seven hundred warriors, having surprised the
Turkish Camps. Mr. Tuekerman has forwarded
this relic to this country, and presented it to the
New York Historical Society. Colonel Botzaris
was much pleased to learn that Hateck's Poem
immortalizing his father was so popular as to be
often read in our public schools, and says he

in Greek, Latin, French, and English.
