After the spirited singing of "My Country, 'tis
of Thee," the box was deposited behind the iu
teriptiou stone by H. J. Mulford, Esq.
The inscription stone occupies the place of the
corner-stone, but Is not located at the corner of
the building. It was placed on the front of the
structure, immediately above tho second-story
double window. It Is of tho best American
marble, measuring 2.1x5, and contains the simple
announcement:
"South Jkrsey Institute."
Iii placing the 6toue, Mr. Mulford spoko as
follows:
'In the name and behalf of tho West New
Jersey Baptist Association, I deposit this box
with its contents in this place, and trust that
this building may be enclosed, finished, and
filled with our sons and daughters, some of
whom I now seo around me, and may tho Divine
Messing attend the efforts made use of for the
finishing of tho building and tho education of
the youth who may at any time be gathered
withiu its walls."

Jiarker, Cedarville.
The attention of all tho guests was then spe
cially called and promptly given to u discussion
of a bounteous collation hospitably provided by
the ladies of Bridgeton. Tho long tables were
most bountifully covered with tempting dishes
of meats, pastries, fruits, etc., and the quantity
of the viands was only equalled by the unanimity
with which everybody, by word of mouth as
well as other workings of jaws, testified to the
excellent skill of the accomplished housewives.
This pleasant interregnum was followed by
si felicitous speech by Kev. P. 8. Henson, D.D.,
of Philadelphia, brimming over with rare good
fellowship, and nbounding in a well-concerted
terics of remarks upon the prime necessity of
religious training in all systems of education.
Altogether, tho exercises were well arranged
aud spirited, and the addresses worthy of a
more extended notice than present time aud
space allow. The Institute will be completed in
uuother year, an excellent system of preparatory
education will be arranged, and, ttuder its pre
sent ellicicnt managers, it will be of great value
not only to Bridgeton, but to the whole of South
Jersey. L.whd.
TIIE IRISH CHURCH.
IN-lialrilitntion alter DineMnbllt,liiiient-Tlie Cir
cular of the Archbishops of Armagh nud
Dublin.
The Archbishops of Armagh and Dublin
have issued the following joint address to the
clergy and laity in reference to tho Provincial
Hyuods which they had summoned to meet at
Armagh and Dublin. It was briefly referred
to in our despatches of the 20th ult.:
To the Clergy and Laity of the Church of
Ireland, grace aud peace be multiplied through
Jesus Christ our Lord. We have this day is
sued our writs summoning the provincial
synods of our respective provinces to moot iu
Armagh and Dul lin. The purpose for which
we have called them together is to consult
and treat on the representation of the clergy
in that general synod of bishops, clergy, aud
laity, the expediency of assembling which has
.been recently declared by an unanimous re
solution of the Irish prelates. Iu considering
ft sub j out of such momentous importance as a
future policy for the Church of Ireland, wo
felt strongly that we hud not to originate
a constitution for a new communion,
but to repair a sudden breach in
ono of the most ancient churches in Christen
dom. The State, which represented and acted
for the laity, having withdrawn from all con
nection with the Church, it becomes a matter
of necessity to devise means to reintroduce
the lay clement in a manner which should be
in consonance with tho principles aud rules
which had heretofore prevailed in her eccle
siastical constitution. Precedents of ai
ancient dute might have justified the
Archbishops in summoning, of their
own authority, provincial synods of the
bishops, clergy, and laity of tho Church to
meet and consult on pressing affairs. We
rould not, however, exercise this power with
out deciding questions concerning the ropre-.-nr,to'i,,r.
f ft, clercv and laitv which we
bave thought it Letter to leave to them to do
ei mine respectively for themselves. We felt
1 hut the clergy would nnturally and reasona
bly desire to consider on their own behalf the
changea which would ho nocoHRarjr to adapt I
their representation to the prenont circum- "
KtanceR of the Church; and that it would also
be more satisfactory to the laity if the prepa
ration of a scheme of lay representation were
committed to themselves. We had, then, in
respect of the clergy, to fall haok upon the
ancient ecclesiastical synods of the two pro
vinces, which, though they have been long in
abeyance, were yet in existence, and capable
nt any moment of being called into
active operation by proper autho
rity. In tho province of Dublin,
the synod has been actually summoned
pro foniid every third year, for nearly a cen
tury and a half. In recurring to tho ancient
provincial synods, as a means of bringing be
fore tho consideration of the clergy tho ques
tion of their future representation, wo wore
met, ut tho outset, by a formidable dillieulty
in tho constitution of the synods themselves.
In lnpso of time great changes had taken
place in the Church. Dishoprics had boon
united; chapters had decayed and been left
without either dutios or property, whilo tho
number of clergy had increased more than
three-fold. It was, therefore, clear that the
proportion of parochial clergy who were sum
moned 1.10 yeurs ago would be by no means
an adequate representation at tho present
day. Such an obsolete arrangement would
b"e satisfactory neither to the clergy nor the
laity of tho Church. It will therefore be,
in our judgment, the immediate duty
of the synods, which must be
summoned on the ancient model, to consider
and carry out such changes os will give to tho
parochial clergy the position which they may
justly claim in the representative body. It
may by some be considered unreasonable to
bring the clergy from all parts of Ireland for
the sole purpose of reforming their represen
tation in tho provisional synods. But when
wo call to mind how highly honorable and
important a task it is to adapt tho ancient
synod of the Chnrch to the requirements of
its present condition, and, by removing obso
lete arrangements, to give it a constitution
which shall obtain the confidence and co
operation of the whole Church, tho objection
win, we trust, disappear, l'uimc opinion,
the united wishes of clergy and laity, nud the
interests of the Church, so clearly detiue what
is required, that we doubt not it will be
fully accomplished, whatever sacrifices may
be required, on tho part of tho pro
sent members of tho synod. This being
done, and tho number which are to
constitute the representation of tho clergy
being definitely settled, these ecclesiastical
synods will be dissolved for the purpose of
reassembling in that new shape which they
will have given themselves, and in union with
such a number of lay representatives as would
properly complete the constitution of the pro
posed General Synod. We now address our
selves especially to the laity of the Church of
Ireland, with the expression of our earnest
hope that they will prepuvo such a representa
tion of themselves ogainst tho time of this
reassembling as may, when united with the
clerical representation, complete that body
which the necessities of the- Church so
urgently demand. We are quite aware of the
many difficulties and embarrassments which
must beset our lay brethren in the under
taking of such a work above all, in the
making a beginning. And if we have been
slew to proffer any suggestions as to the
way in which the laity should arrange
the scheme of their representation,
tins has arisen altogether irom an
apprehension lest we should appear to
limit that freedom of action on their
part which we sincerely desire to see them
exercike; and we are anxious to express in our
own name, in the name of the whole Episco
pal body, and as we are confident in tho name
ot the entire clergy, our readiness to co-ope
rate in this work, by counsel, or by any other
means in our power. If it should be thought
expedient to make use of the parochial system
and diocesan conferences, as on a late occa
sion, we oner ourselves, and we are sure that
we may also oiler the ready help of all our
clergy, for the carrying out of the wiches of
our lay brethren. Earnestly praying that iu
a task so novel, so perplexing, so arduous, of
such immense significance tor the whole
future of our Church, as that which is before
us, we may each and all be guided by that
Holy Spirit of truth, unity, and concord, who
can alone give us a happy issue from tho
difficulties and dangers which are around
about us on every side, we remain your faith
ful servants in Christ, M. Gr. Akmarh,

THE ECUMENICAL COUNCIL.
An Important Letter from Dr. Merle d'Aubijuie
Action 1 Hereon.
The following is a letter from Dr. Merle
d'Aubigne to Hon. Arthur Kinnaird, M. P. ,
with reference to the Ecumenical Council at
Home:
Genoa, Mav 10, 18(59 My Dear Mr. Kin
naird: I wrote to you some time ago about
the Ecumenical Conference which it was pro.
posed to hold at Geneva on the occasion of
the General Council at Home.
A question presented itself Should it be
held before or alter the General Council;
Some thought and some friends at Geneva
were among the number that it should be
after, as it is then only that we shall know
what tho Council will have done, and what
cun'be said in reply. Our resolution is not to
hold our Conference this year.
Hut is there nothing to be done before tho
Council is held at Homo? Shall we say nothin
when Home calls us? Do you not think it
would be well to have a consultation about it
in Loudon, while so many of your earnest
men are assembled there for the May meet
ings.' Jiio subject is ot great importance
ho General Council of the Komish Church
has been held since that of Trent, in the six
teenth century. On that occasion the Pope
invitea j'rotestunts to return to tiie bosom of
tho Church of which he is the head.
The preseut crisis, which agitates more or
less all Christendom, renders it important
that there should bo now a great manifesta
tion of Evangelical riucip'.cs: for tho doctrines
thus established are precisely those which are
attacked by Ritualism, Rationalism, aud other
ermneous systems.
The work of tho Reformation was arrested
in the second half of the sixteenth century.
It is time that we should take it up, aud the
invitation which tho Popo has addressed to us
furnishes a suitublo occasion.
This manifestation of Evangelical princi
ples, to be useful, should be made in every
town, even every village, where there is
Christian life; would to God that were every -v
here !
Hut what should be the aim of these meet
ings ? The great doctrines of Holy Scripture
should be affirmed, and the urgent necessity
of carrying on tho work of the reformation
should be pressed upon tho Christian public.
It is not true thut tho men of earnestness,
sincerity, and noble character, now in the
Church of Home, should abandon a religion
of exteriors, of forms and rites, to receive
that which is "spirit aud life?"
Ought we not to try to make Roman Catho-
lies understand that the difference between
them and us is this: that they cling to a reli
gion which addresses itsolf to the imagination
or intellect, the essence of which is submis
sion to the Church, to the commandments of
men, a dead form; while we ask them to re
ceive a perfect and free salvation by grace to
find a living Christ that "kingdom of God
vi inch, is righteousness and poaee and joy
the Holy Ghost!"
ln
these are tho questions to be oponod up;
'lit it must be done without pride, without
itterness. without violence; it miit be done
n love. When we consider the millions of
Roman Catholics who have been baptized in
ne name of the l ather, of the Son. ana ot
the Holy Ghost, but bindorod by tho veil of
superstition, human tradition and creature
mediation, do not know, do not possess
Christ, our feelings should be those of sorrow,
not anger; and we should beseech them, by
the meekness and gentleness of Christ, to
come to Him in simple faith.
ihe Council at Kome will commence on mo
Mb of December, tho anniversary of tho pro
mulgation of the doctrine of immaculate con
ception. What is to be done at this period t
Will it bo permitted to me to express my
thoughts, which I submit entirely to your
wisdom and to that of the brethren assembled
in London ?
Would it not bo well that, in every place
where there may be a certain number of
pious and intelligent Christians, this day
should be devoted to conferences, to which
orthodox Christians of diffcront denomina-
ions should be invited? Would it not bo
well that prayers should arise, not only in
these conferences, but in family worship and
public services, to entreat the only head of
the Church, Jesus Christ, for tho illumination
and eternal salvation of those who are placed
under the Papal yoke i
In these times Koman Catholics and L roe-
thinkers show great boldness; shall we, the
Evangelical Christians, be the only cowards?
It appears to me that the proposition of
such a manifestation of Evangelical principles
in Christian parishes would come much bettor
from London than from a Continental town,
which does not possess tho influence of your
great capital, the metropolis of Evangelical
Christendom.
Moy the great Head of the Church Himself
direct your relations, and give a great bless
ing on every effort made for His glory! Re
lievo me, my dear sir, yours most truly,
jIeuli; u Auiuunv:,
lieliifioiiM I5srit le Corp.
The J'ull Mail (itizttte, in discussing tho
case of the Cracow nun, has the following
about tho perversion of a human character
istic that is in itself praiseworthy:
This is no question of Catholic versus Pro
testant, but of the prostitution of all thut is
most sacred to the vilest ends. Aud we sus
pect that tho root of the matter lies in that
vicious esprit (le corpx which probably exists
iu its intensest form within convent wails.
It is a commonplace of theologians that
every heresy is a distortion or exaggeration of
some truth, and we may sav, with at least
equal reason, that every vice is a perversion
or exaggeration of some habit which m itself
is good. In the present case this is con
spicuouslyso. That corporuto spirit for which
our language has no explicit name is allowed
on all bauds to be an innocent aud often
laudable feeling. There is a very general and
not unnatural prejudice against pooplo
who are fond of washing their dirty
linen in public. Nobody would be
thought the better of for being eager
to expose to public notice the faults or short
comings ot members ot his own family. We
should not greatly admire a boy, or a man
either, who had no feeling of loyalty for. his
public school or his University, who diJ not
like dwelling on its merits, aud dislike dwell
ing on its defects except for the purpose of
remedying them. Neither, certainly, do we
think the worse of a man, of whatever profes
sion, for being jealous for the honor of his
cloth, though it is quite possible in this last
case for the feeling to be pushed too far when
it is not balanced by a due regard for tho
public interest. It is a curious fact, for in
stance, which Dean Milman poiuts out, that
the trucWiouof trench legists, who were nn
willing to sacrifice the credit of their Order,
should have been instrumental for centuries
in keeping up a false historical tradition about
the suppression of the Knights Templar,
And other cases might easily be mentioned
where strong class feeling has not
only acted prejudicially at the time,
but has effected a permanent wrong
in suppressing or coloring the testimony of
history. Rut these are obvious exaggerations
of the feeling. Every rank or profession has
a certain exprtt etc corpx. and is praised f jr
having it. The young middy who has iust
entered his training-ship is sure to be an en
thusiast lor tne navy. Military officers look at
questions from an army point of view; bar
listers have a legal, and, still moro, clergy
men have an ecclesiastical, standard of judg
ment. There is nothing to wonder at or to
blame in all this, so long as a man retains
enough of cosmopolitan sympathy to prevent
ins oeing simply aosoroed in tiie exclusive
interests and aims of his own particular pro-
tessiou. It is ljutnatiirul that a fellow-feeling
should grow up among those who have com
mon objects and a common work, and who
are necessarily thrown much togother.
Indeed, we may go further than this
It there is truth in the old
Greek proverb that he who has many
menus nan no friend, it follows, by parity of
reasoning, that he who has no sympathies in
particular will be no very ardent philanthro
pist in a general way. Family affection, or
eiass-ieeiing, or patriotism may bo too exclu
sively cultivated, but we instinctively susoect
the cosmopolitan professions of a man who
cares nothing tor his country, and the public
spirit of ono whose patriotism allows no room
uuj uttiiuwcr range oi interests: nor is
indifference to domestic ties usuallv c.onsi
dered a hopeful sign of benevolence on a
wmei seme, lu short, speaking generally,
m nimuiw ui unvining ni;e exprtt tie corpx is
tar likelier to indicate selfishness than breadC
unun ui ucuiior mind, Where there is no
concentration of sympathies there is no ex
punsion either, aud cosmopolite is too apt to
ie a pome misnomer lor egotist.
Rut while fully dniiuinr all this, we ro
peat that inprit tie mrpn of all kinds, and
especially of a professional kind, may easily
degenerate, where there is nothing to counter
balance it, into what is narrow or positively
niis-chievous. And we must add. that nowhere
is this danger so imminent as in the case of
religious txnnt lf fonx. wlllcll uuuny ex
ceeds in intftiHitv mid exclnstveiiflss every
other form of tbn s.mtiment, The parallel
ease of Hia i,vhh;,h arormned on recalcitrant
members of Tnuln Unions has beeu referrei
to in connection with this horrible persecution
or the Cracow nun, and the parallel is a very
apposite one. In secret societies, and other
combinations formed independently of tho law
or in hostility to it, the bond of membership
is sure to exercise a tyrannous and exclusive
sway from tho sense of a common interest in
which the outer world has no part, or which
perhaps exists in antagonism to it. There is
honor, as tne provero tens us, even among
thieves. And tho more special and exclusive
is tho bond of mutual interest, the more un
scrupulously will its obligations be enforced.
Any violation of the implied contract, or, still
more, any betrayal of corporate socrets, is
sure to be visited as tho deadliest oflVuse,
where no miblie duties are recocnied. or
Where the general public has come to be
looked upon simply as a natural enemy.
There are tales of devotees who have be
trayed the secrets of Freemasonry being ruth
lessly butchered, which, whether true or not,
illustrate unmistakably what is thought not
improbable in such cases. Now ecclesiastical
corporations are not, unless under excep
tional circumstances, secret socioties, but
they are, in one sense, the nearest ap
proach to them. They have nn existr-noo
independent of the law, even where they
are tolerated or recognized by it, and they
exist for ends which human law does not
directly contemplate, and which tho world,
especially in a busy and intellectual age, is
apt to view with indifference, or suspicion.
or contempt. The clerical feoling on this
point is oddly exemplified by tho reason given
in tho canon law for the exemption of clerics
from the jurisdiction of tho civil courts,
because the laity are sure to bo prejudiced
against them. All this tends to make tho
caste feeling much stronger in religious cor
porations than in any others. To a certain
extent it pervades the entire body, lay as well
as clerical. During tho middle ages, when
the whole of Europe was of ono creed, there
was little occasion for its display; there were
no outsiders to bo conciliated or kept at bay.
Rut ever since the divisions of tho sixteenth
century a marked change has passed over tho
spirit of tho Catholic Church in this respect.
Scandals which were once openly, often
ostentatiously, avowed, whether from mere
spite or with tho desire of reform, are studi
ously concealed, and tho would-bo reformer
who admits their existence is looked on as no
better than a traitor. Were Catholic testi
mony alone to be consulted, no one would
heor a word of the systematic and gross pro
lligacy of the Mexican and South American
clergy. It would be very unfair to infer from
this that conscientious Catholics regard vice
among their own co-religionists with indif
ference. What it proves is that they are in
clined to think the remedy, if brought about
by exposure, worse than tho disease. And if
this holds good, as wo believe it does sub
stantially, of a vast organization including
all varieties of national culture and tempera
ment, it of course applies far more directly
to small communities bound together by
closer ties, whore all tho same motives
come into play with greatly uccelerated
force, and tho counteracting influences
are almost wholly absent. Even in a commu
nion so largely pervaded by secular influences
us tho Church of England, there is a strong
corporate feeling among the clergy; and how
much more is this sure to be found among a
celibate clergy, trained from boyhood in a
rigid isolation from lay society, and taught
by precept and example, from the age when
impressions are most readily and most indeli
bly imprinted on tho mind, to identify the
iiitcrests of the.r order with the cause of ho
liness and truth. A priest who should rise
superior to such a weight of seeming obliga
tions would not only be a marked man anions
bis brethren, but a man of exceptional cour
age. ( ne further step will bring us from the
priesthood to the convent, and a final, and by
no means unimportant, distinction identifies
tiie conventual horrors of Cracow as tho work
of a community of women. A feinal convent
is the natural home of cxprit tie corpx in its
narrowest, its most unscrupulous, and its
most intolerant form.
Rut perhaps it will still bo asked, how does this
account for the inhuman cruelties practised ou
Rarbura Ubryk ? For what particular reasons
it became convenient to incarcerate her, we
may be better able to judge when the trial is
over. Rut supposing she had broken her vow
of chastity, which is her own account of the
matter, and scandal was likely to ensue, the
explanation is not far to seek. And precisely
in proportion to tho intensity and the nar
rowness of caste feeling is it sure to bo ruth
less when its supposed interests are at stake.
The nun who would bring disgrace on her
Order is immured for tho same reason that
the deserter from the Trade-Union is blown
up in his bed, or shot from behind
a wall. In such cases tho senso of
t-xprit tit corpx appeals to two of the
strongest as well as the basest of human pas
sions self-interest aud fear. It is better that
the unhappy woman should be degraded to
the condition of a brute beast than that the
credit of the Order should suffer. And when
once this iniquitous policy has been resolved
upon, it must be carried out at all costs rather
than risk the deeper discredit or actual danger
of a discovery. It has often been observed
that no one is so reckless of cruelty as a man
vhois thoroughly frightened, an4 still more
is this true of a woman. Tho apocryphal
story of a late church dignitary, who is said
to have boasted of his "presenco of mind'' in
rapping the knuckles of a man who had
fallen overboard und wns endangering the
sufety of the boat by his drowning efforts
to regain his place iu it, is a good
illustration of this. Every other feeliug
is pt to be merged in the one half-frantic
instinct of self-preservation. Such precisely
is the result of (.sprit tic corpx when exercised
in a narrow circle, and allowed to attain an
exclusive domination. It may, under favor
able conditions, give birth to acts of heroic
generosity, but there is no sentiment, gene
rous in itself, which requires to be more care
fully watched, and restrained within its legi
timate limits. Jl has before now nmdo men,
not cruel or unjust by natural disposition,
the willing and conscientious familiars of tho
Inquisition. It still makes women, who call
themselves "the brides of heaven," devise
end perpetrate ingenuities of torture which
fu nds might envy, but would find it dillioult
to exceed.
