The best bred people of every Christian coun try but our own avoid all personal display when, engaged in worship and prayer. Our churches, on the contrary, are made places for the exhibi tion of fincipparel, and other costly and flaunt ing compliances with fashion, by those who boast of superior wealth and manners. We shall leave our gewgawed devotees to re concile humiliation In worship with vanity of dress. That is a problem which we confess we have neither the right nor the capacity to solve. It must bo left to the conscience of the be dizened worshipper, aided by the skilful casuistry of her theological director. How far fine clothes may affect the personal piety of the devotee we do not pretend even to conjecture, but we have a Tery decided opinion iu regard to their influences upon the religion of others. The fact is, thnt our churches are so fluttering with birds of fine feathers that no sorry fowl will venture in. It is impossible for poverty 1h rags and patches, or even in decent but humble costume, to take its seat, if it should be so fortunate as to find a place, by the side of wealth In brocade and broadcloth. The poor are so awed by the pretension of superior dress and "the proud man's contumely," that they natur rally avoid too close a proximity to them, The church being the only place on this side of the grave designed for the rich and the poor to meet together in equal prostration before God, it certainly should always be kept free for this common humiliation and brotherhood. It is 60 in most of the churches of Europe, where the beggar in rags and wretchedness and the wealthiest and most eminent, whose appropriate sobriety of dress leaves them without mark of external distinction, kneel down together, equalized by a common humiliation, before the only Superior Being. The adoption of a more simple attire for church on the part of the rich In this country would have the effect, certainly not of diminishing their own personal piety, but probably of increasing the disposition for reli gious observance on the part of the poor. Want of fine dress would no longer, as it is now, be the common motive for staying away from the houses of worship, and these would become the common places of assemblage, as on the conti nent of Europe, for the poor and the rich. The result would not only be favorable to general piety but to social harmony, since the union of all classes on one day of the week, at least, would tend to level all artificial barriers of separation. "The distinctions of civil life," says Paley, in one of his most admired passages, "are almost always insisted upon too much and urged too far. Whatever, therefore, conduces to restore the level, by qualifying the dispositions which grow out of great elevation or depression of rank, improves the character on both sides. Now things are made to appear little by being placed beside what is great. In which manner superiorities that occupy the whole field of the Imagination will vanish, or shrink to their proper diminutiveness, when compared with the dis tance by which even the highest of men are removed from the Supreme Being, and this com parison is naturally introduced by all acts of Joint worship. If ever the poor man holds up Lis head, it is at church; if ever the rich man Views him with respect, it is there; and both will Le the better, and the public profited, the oftener they Mieet in a situation in which the conscious ness of dignity in the one is tempered and miti gated, and the spirit of the other erected and confirmed."

Tn the Sunday-school of the Howard Presbyte rian Church, San Francisco, a class of Japanese young men Is In regular attendance, who are much interested In the instruction they receive. An Irish Presbyterian missionary in India writes: "The hopelessness of keeping up lltiidooism Is be coming every year more manifest to the Hindoos themselves. A few days ago, a high-caste Brahmin who had come to see me acknowledged, In even u a more uniuulitled way than I believe the facts of the case warrant, that no class of Hindoos have now any faith In their religion. He lamented the ten dency to utter cheerless unbelief, which he thinks Is Increasing." Iu Calcutta and its suburbs are four teen native churches, with Ave hundred communi cants, and a nominal Christian community of six teen hundred persons. Four thousand live hundred young men are daily brought under the influence of Christian teuchers through the various educational institutions of the city. The 1'rexbyterian llantifr siiys: "Formerly It was necessary for all our foreign missionaries to sail froru New York, Philadelphia, or Boston, ln irder to reach their fields of labor. But the completion of the great railroad route from the Atlantic to the Paclllc. has changed all this. Henceforth missionaries to Sinm, tliipan, India, ami China will tuke altlppinir from San Francisco. About two weeks ago, the Kev. Mr. Capp, lately ordained a missionary to shantung, China, hv the Central Presbytery of Philadelphia, passed west ward on his way to his destination. He is the llrst foreign missionary who has gone out by this route, which will hereafter be adopted by those going In this direction. The time ocenpied "by the voyage Is shortened, the expenses lessened, aiid the comfort is greatly increased.' A number of Old School presbyteries have voted against reunion during the past month. The Ameriran J'rebtterian says that 26 out of 111 have voted for reunion, 55 cither adhere to the old basis or accept the amendments, and two require a vote of three-fourths of the Assembly, or of three-fourths of all the presbyteries In both branches, and are then to unite on the standards alone. Thirtyjiresby teries are yet to be heard from. jn Lincoln, tne capital or .Nebraska, two years old, with two thousand Inhabitants, a Presbyterian Church (O. S.) was organized on the 4th inst. The Senate chamber is the place of meeting for the pre sent.

J. J. Weiss, a licentiate recently received under care of the Presbytery. The Ameri can church at that point, organized less than four years ago, numbers lifty-six members, and is at pre sent In a highly prosperous condition. A correspondent or tne iiuuthera I'renoutenan, writing about the proceedings of the Presbytery of Koanokc, says: "The pastoral relation of the Kev. John M. Klrkpatrick to the church of Danville was dissolved, arter a settlement there or nrteen years. It Is hoped that Mr. Klrkpatrick will not leave the bounds of tho Presbytery. There Is a prospect of his being settled in a neighborhood where some families of sound Old School Presbyterians from tho North have recently purchased land, and are desirous of establishing a church and a school.' In East Hanover Presbytery, In Virginia, the erec tion of a new church editlce in Charles City county ; the repair of others In Nottoway and Henrico : the erection or repair of several mission chapels; a great advance in the flue structure of the Lulled Church in Kichmond; the completion of the large church In Norfolk ; and other external improvements have been made certain during the past year.

The "Salem Congregational Church" was orga nized In Lowndes county, Miss., as long ago as 1m.i2, and Is still the only church of Its order in the State. It has always been opposed to slavery, and has a membership of forty-nine aud eighty Sabbath-school scholars, white and black. The Congregational Association of Kansas met In Lawrence, May 13. During the year there have been no general revivals, as in the year before; but the churches have been strengthened, a largo num ber building or repairing their houses of worship, and eight new churches having been organized. Twelvo ministers have been added to the force at work, it was reported that the assets of the Washburn C ollege amount to t.r0,000, and that a friend has aunounced a bequest to It In Ills wiK, fixed at J:sn,iHM. A resolu tion was adopted, bused on the inability of the Home Missionary Society to meet the demands upon It, ami urging a general convention of the Northwest to devise, in connection with that society, some more efllcletit method of securing fuuds aiid forwarding the work. METHODIST. The Wesleyan Methodists of England have a systematic plan for doing mission work In the army and navy. Tho Sunday School Convention called by the St. Louis Comity Sunday School Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, met Thursday morning, at hall-past ten, In the First M. E.

On June 24 he proposes to preside at tho Colorado Conferetice.nt the Oregon Conference August n, at Nevada Augusts, California August 26. Thence he sails for Chtua, to visit the missions at Full Chau and Pekln. About the 1st of January he will be In India, where he will spend two months Inspecting the missions, and presiding at the India Conference. Thence he goes, by way of Egypt, to Constantinople, and will visit the missions in Bulgaria, Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, anil France; returning home early in September of 1870. This will be tho llrst Episcopal tour around the world. An interesting correspondence has passed be tween the Methodist bishops North aud South In re ference to a union of their two bodies. The separa tion occurred In 1844, growing out of a rule forbid ding any olllcer of the Church to own slaves. One of the Southern bishops became the owner of slaves by the death of one of his wife's relatives, und re fused to part with them. The Southoru churches then separated on thai question. At tins time the negotiations were opened by the Northern bishops, as those of the South felt precluded from doing so by the manner In which their delegates had once before been treated. The Southern bishops now reply that the time for union has not yet come, ns there Is not that concord of feeling whloh must precede organic union. They also take occasion to complain of the conduct of the Northern Methodists lu some places, who have invaded their societies and taken possession of their houses of worship. On the whole, not much progress has been made by the present negotiation, and it must bo years before a union is enected. EPISCOPAL. An opinion has been given by three eminent English barristers, that no tribunal at present exists before which Bishop Colenso can be tried in case he is deemed guilty of an ecclesiastical offense In his alleged advocacy of opinions not In accordance with the doctrines held by the Church of England. Kev. E. C. Bolles, of Portland, has accepted a call to the Church of the Redeemer, Brooklyn. Among the petitioners that the Milwaukee Library Association would open its library oil Sunday was Bishop Armltage, of Wisconsin. Miss Lavlnia Faruham, of North Andover, Mass., has presented a beautiful coinuiunlou service of solid Bllver to the evangelical church of that place. The service is Intended as a memorial of friends who have lately died. An exchange says that Bishop Odenhelmer, of New Jersey, denies the report that he declined to place his hands on the head of a young lady to con firm her, because she wore false hair. Kev. Dr. Randall, Bishop of Colorado, Is soon to visit ttie three Territories included in his diocese. The Kev. Marshall B. Smith, who lately left tho Episcopalians and joined the Reformed Church, has addressed a long letter to Bishop Odenbemler, of New Jersey, giving the reasons which led him to make the change. Bishop Whltehouse, or Illinois, has followed tho example of Bishop Odenhelmer, ol New Jersey, in deposing one of his rectors from the ministry of the Church. But, as in Mr. Smith's case, Kev. W. H. Woods had previously resigned his position and had joined the Baptists. The Protestant Episcopal Board of Missions met at Trinity Church, Newark, New Jersey, on Tuesday morning. Bishop Littlejohn, of Long island, pre sided, and opened the meeting with a brluf address. The subject for discussion was the need of Divine help lu pushing forward the work of missions. Bishop Littlejohn opened the discussion, and was followed by the Kev. Drs. Hulght, Porter, Gallaudet, and Hall. In the evening, the Kev. Dr. Haight and the Kev. Dr. Natoon, of Jersey City, delivered mis sionary addresses at Trinity Church. There has been a long Interregnum In tho rcgu lar line of succession of the bishopric of Montreal' owing to a deadlock between the clerical and lay deputies, who met six months ago to elect one who should be a successor to tho lute bishop and metro politan of Canada, The lay members of the Synod had set their hearts on one or two men ; but, In the exercise of their lordship, the bishops refused to nominate one of them. They nominated all of their own number, with the exception of one missionary bishop ; but would not nominate blm nor the Dean of Montreal. The clerical deputies to this Synod seve ral times gave a majority to tlielr lordship's nomi nees; but the lay delegates refused to submit, aud ut last the Synod adjourned to meet this month. Some what disturbed, as it seems, by a bill brought before the legislature to allow, iu case of vac incy, the cler gyman next in rank (the Dean of Montreal) to per form all the oitlccs of a bishop, their lordships at the adjourned meeting .yielded so far as to nominate one out of their ovt n number, Kev.

He beckoned the bishop to ascend the steps to the d.'corated altar, but the bishop left them uiitrod. After the litany, the people remained standing, as if waiting for the extra ritualislle preliminary to the sermon, but the bishop requested them to be seated, and then delivered tin address, in the course of which ho bore pretty heavily on extreme ritualism. They might kneel, bow, and wear embroidered crosses on their breasts and on their backs, but he must assure them that these things would amount to nothing If the spirit of true religion were wanting. lie confessed ho trembled for tho welf nro of the Church, w hen he saw mere forms carrying captive .the hearts of the people. These are good words. h'ruiiiji li. Bishop Bedell, of Ohio, on Sunday evening last, preached In the Church of the Ascension, Filth ave nue, New York, on "Ritualism and the sins to which it leads." Selecting as his text the words of Christ, "But if the salt had lost its savor, it is henceforth good lor nothing but to be cast out aud trodden under foot," he showed that tha tendency of Ritual ism in the Protestant Church, as It has been lu the Romish Church, was to bury the saving spirit of Christianity beneath forms and ceremonies. The first step of the Church iu her decline towards this point was the mere formality of praver, consisting or bodily and lip service only, then the worship of saints, and lastly prayers to the Virgin. The wor ship of Nuipts and adoration or the Virgin ho cha racterized . us Idolatry as much as was the worship of any of the hetitlieu gods.

Already the ritualists In the Protestant Church have thrown otrall garb of concealment, so that not only In the lesser forms have they Imitated the Romish Church, but even tn the elevation of the Sacrament or Host, the clergy, man openly calls upon the people to how down In adoration of the real presence of the body ot Christ, W ell may the simple and sincere Christian, In look ing Into one of thesr sepulchres of Christianity, ex claim, "They have taken away my Lord, ami I know not where they have laid Hlin."' In conclusion, he urged his hearers to stand by their Prayer-book in It Christ Is all In ail ; and while ritualism and Its con sequent sins ol Idolatry have had their advocates In the isist as now, so has also the world not been want ing in earnest men to sustain the truth and simpll- ity of the Gospel."
