Tho Sunday-school teacher bns a far higher
example of nn Illustrative style than any fur
nished by merely human educators. lie who
"spake as matt never spake" was, In the strict
est sense of the word, an illustrative teacher.
Abstract doctrines and general principles rarely
flowed from his Hps, except as embodied In
illustrative facts and incidents, lie presented to
tho minds of his hearers no dry skeletons of
theology; all was living, moving, breathing
truth. The gorgeous blossoms of tho scarlet
lily, and the glossy plumage of the well-fed
ravens, were by him made to teach his disciples
lessons of moderation in their care for tho
future. The aower scattering tho precious
grain, and the mustard treo with its feathered
Inhabitants, furnished emblems of the nature
and progress of MesslaVs kingdom. Tho waters
of Jacob's well called the attention of tho woman
of Sycharto the living water, "of which, If a
man drink, ho shall Uto lorevcr." And the
golden vine, which glittered ovr the doors of
Herod's temple, was made to typify, In a touch
ing manner, the union subsisting between Christ
find his people.
So largely, indeed, did our Lord employ ojij
form of illustration, In his addresses to tho mul
titudes who, thronged to hear him, that the
Evangelist emphatically remarks: "Without a
parable spake ho not unto them." Groser.
Rpnrfteon on Vain Display.
Aveid all pedantry. As a general rule it may
be observed that those gentlomcn who know tho
least Greek are the most sure to air their rags
of learning in tho pulpit; thy miss no chance of
Baying, "The Greek is so and so." It makes a
man an Inch and a half taller by a foolomcter,
If .he everlastingly lets fall bits of Greek and
Hebrew, and even tolls tho people the tenso of
the verb, and the caso of the noun, as I have
known some to do. Those who have no learn
ing usually make a point of displaying the pegs
on which learning ought to hang. Tho whole
process of interpretation is to bo carried on iu
your study; you arc not to show your congrega
tion tho process, but to give them the result;
like a good cook, who would never think of
bringing up dishes, and pans, and rolling-pin,
and epice-box into tho dining-hall, but, without
ostentation sends up the feast.
Do not needlessly amend our authorized ver
sion. It is faulty in many places, but still it is
a grand work, taking it for all in all; and it is
unwise to be making every old lady distrust the
only Bible she can get or what is more likely,
distrust you for falling out with her cherished
treasure. Correct whore correction must bo for
truth's sake, but never for tho vainglorious dis
play of your critical ability.
SUMMARY OF CHURCH NEWS.
CONGREGATIONAL.
The First Congregational Church iu this
city has ceased to be, and the chapel in which
its services were held has been sold. The Ply
mouth is prospering. The Central is still waiting
in hope for the sight of a completed edifice.
llie Andover Association licensed, October
19, twelve members of the senior class in An
dover Theological Seminar', after a well-sustained
examination of livo hours.
' Hew I. C. Green, tho first missionary of tho
American Board to Japan, who sails from San
Francisco by the next steamer, is a son of Rev.
David Green, a former missionary and Foreign
Secretary of tho Board, and a descendant of
ltoger Sherman.
The Congregational Quarterly reports 29
Congregational churches organized during tho
first elht months of this yea.-. They arc at
Caribou, Me.: Essex Junction, Vt.; Worcester,
Mass.; New Haven, Conn.; Newark Valley, N.
Y.; Decatur, Ohio: Winchester, Ind.; Marshall,
Mich.: Evanstou, 111.; Oak Hill, Wis.; Seneca,
Parkorsburg. and Altoona, Iowa; Owatonna,
Merton, Judson, and Granville, Minn.; Platts
moutb, Neb.; Williamsport, North Topeka,
Leavenworth, Corning, and Arvonia, Kan ; be
sides a Welsh church "40 miles north of
Topeka;" Glcnwood, Mo.; Wheatland, Cal.; and
Baton Rouge and Lockport, La. It is :ilno re
ports tho ordination of the samo number of
ministers and tho death of 17.
The Congregational Conference of Connec
ticut is now fully organized, and held Its first
meeting in Itockville, October M and 27. The
main business engaged in was tho assumption
of the home mission work of tho State, which
was handed over by the General Association.
The subject of systematic benevolence was dis
cussed, and I!cv. Mr. Wilcox, of New London
(who has accepted a call to Jersey City), said
that as tho result of an effort In that direction
his Sabbath-School had increased from f:!00 to
$1200 per year. A committee was appointed to
inquire whether Congregationalist churches
ought not to have a larger representation among
tho officers of the Bible Society. These churches
contribute to that society in tho proportion of
five to two Presbyterian churches, and yet never
had a secretary chosen from among them. .
METHODIST.
The annual exhibit of Rev. Dr. Redford
shows that the profits on the .busiuess of the
Southern Methodist Publishing House auiouut
to over $44,000 for tho past year.
Benjamin F. Cocker, D. D., of tho Detroit
Conference of tho Methodist Episcopal Church,
has been elected Professor of Moral and Mental
Philosophy in the University of Michigan.
A Methodist preacher In .Baltimore was re-
oneBted to becomo a correspondent of The Me-
iliodist. Ho brought the matter before his
preachers' meeting, and agreed to do it If his
brethren would aid him by reporting to him
matters of interest. A motion that the brother
be reuuested to do this duty was lost, on the
ground that The Methodist is an unollicial paper,
and that it is better to sustain the various Advo
cates published by the Book Concern.
- a short time since tho old "buryiug-ground'
of the Whatcoat Station the extreme north
western chariro iu tho city of Baltimore was
sold. Embracing six acres of ground bordering
on Druid Pill Park, tho prico obtained for it
was yen' fair. 1I7.000. This sum, with what will
be obtained from the sale of the old church and
parsonasre. will place iu tho hands ot the trus
tees not less than 1110,000. Allowing what
mav be necessary for tho removal of the
dead burled iu the irravcyard, and for their
Jiroper accommodation, a handsome sum will be
eft for the build insr of a fine church on the
beautiful lot kindlv presented by Mr. John T.
Ford.
Glom e is a small settlement olsrht miles from
Hudson. Within a radius of one and a half
miles there have been fifty-seven families and
one hundred and thirty children, but no church
or Sunday school. A member of the Seventh
street Methodist Episcopal Church, in New York
city, is uccuBtomed to spend his summers at
that place. Moved by sympathy for these eheep
without a fold, lie procured a lot, and built upon
it, at his own expense, a beautiful church. On
Mondav. October 11. ho deeded it in due form
free Iron all incumbrance, to the Methodist
Episcopal Church.
Tho Troy Methodist Conference lias expelled
Rev. T, 8. fierce (or C. T. 8. Pierce) from the
church and ministry for the crime so says tho
Trov Tinet!ut "hcduclug youthful members o
his flock." This is the snrao villain who two
years- tluce palmed himsell off as a Methodic
ConirreLtational minister at Woodstock, Coun
He engaged to supply the pulpit there for six
months but before tho time had expired his
real character was discovered, and his engage
ment abruptly terminated, but only after ho had
huccccdctt iu caiibinur difficulties which cannot
be healed in yearn, lie whs introduced to Troy
on the strength of testimonials unluckily fiven
by his supporters iu Woodblock. Although ho
liiis a most estimable wile in New Jersey, whoiji
he ha- dei-ci tcd. he has claimed in both places to
be an unmarried man. Ills assertion that he was
at ono tlmo a resident iu President Woolsoy's
family, Dr. Woolscy says is false. The fellow
is tall, good-looking, plausible, and one-quarter
Indian. Look out for him! Independent.
EPISCOPAL.
Tho Episcopal Theological Seminary of Vir
ginia has reopened, and with a larger number of
students than before.
St. Ann's, tho first Episcopal church in
Brooklyn, and for forty years tho only one, was
established in 17'.r. Now there arc churches,
0 chapels, and 52 clergy. Last year In these
churches there were 1)00 confirmed, 8078 com
municants, 10,000 Sunday School scholars, 14(4
baptisms, and $273,004 of offerings, exclusive of
pew rents.
Tho l'roteslanl Churchman makes tho fol
lowing announcement: "Tho Rev. Jamos Kent
Stone, lato President of Kenyon College, and
still later the President of Hobart College, it is
currently reported, has followed out the legiti
mate course of High Church theology, and has
given in his adhesion to tho Church of Rome.
We learn that Mr. Stone was formally received
Into tho Roman Church on September 12."
At St. Johnland, on October 14, tho Rev.
Dr. Muhlenberg laid tho corner-stone of a
church, to bo called tho "Church of tho Tcstl
mony.'1 It is to bo the gift of a liberal member
of the Episcopal Church, and will bo tho place of
worship for the interesting community there re
siding. On this occasion Dr. Muhlenberg mado
a declaration to the effect that this church was
to be a testimony to tho unity of all true be
lievers In Christ." The pastor in charge is always
to be in Episcopal orders; but the pulpit is to be
open to ministers of the various evangelical
churches.
A church congress was opened in Liverpool
Oct. 5. The Dean of Chester, who presided,
preached a sermon, in which he forcibly depre
cated the evils of party spirit in tho Church.
Tho Archdeacon of Ely read an elaborate paper
on the System of Clerical and Lay Representa
tion of tho Diocese of Ely. Tho practical results
of the system appear to be fruitfully conserva
tive and evangelical. Rev. T. E. Espin discussed
the subject of the Supply aud Training of tho
Clerey. The number ordained in 1802 had sunk
to 4SH, 208 of whom were from the old univer
sities, in lsos it naa risen to uuo, ot whom
38.5 were from Oxford and Cambridge. In
1853, however, 032 were ordained, so that after
all there was no decided gain. In discussing
phases ot unbelief and how to meet thorn, tho
Vicar of Surbilon insisted that tho safety of tho
Church consisted in a bolder and firmer nttittiflo
ministerially, la a Eiorc earnest, plain, and
practical Imitation of apostolic preaching. In
considering the subject of education (includ
ing Sunday Schools), the Archdeacon of Mont
gomery said ho had seen it stated that the Chap-
lain of Manchester Jail had reported that of
seven hundred Protestant criminals in that jail
citrhtv-ono had been Simduv School tonehorn:
aiid out of 040 criminals, 50!! had been iu Sunday
ocnoois as scnoiars, on an average et six or seven
years each. Some probable causes of this state
or things were stated. Key. Dr. Blakcncy read
a long paper, in which he urged bringing the
Litauy into far more frequent and prominent
use. It was a plea for ritualism. An interesting
discussion on "The Weekly Offcrtoryand Alms
giving was had. J he necessity of an increase
in gifts both of service aud of money was im
pressively set forth. At a meeting in the inte
rest oi ttie central Airica missions, the Arch
deacon of launton advised the ladies to turn
their trains, and the men their cigars, into
monev for the mission .
BAPTIST.
The Jlaptitit calls special nttcntiou to the
fact that in its report of revivals, "nuitc a man
ner or tno auditions nro irom the ranks ot
Catholics and Campbell it es."
liev. J-., j i. iiay, i. l).. late chaplain of the
nitcd States Senate, has accepted a call from
tho church at Shclburne Falls, Mass., whom ho
hag already twice served as pastor.
Tho Chicago Baptist Theological Seminary
is endeavoring to secure tue valuable iiorury oi
the late Dr. Jiengstenberg, ot iierlin. It con
tains 12.000 volumes, and is said to be one of tho
most valuable exegetical libraries in the world
The price Is $00,000. The library of Neander
was purchased by the Rochester theological
seminary.
Trevor and VJOigate, who are among the gout
dealers of New York, and who gave tho Baptist
church at Yonkers a One stono house, at a cost
of one hundred nud fifty thousand dollars, were
called upon by tho ngent of the Baptist church
edifice mild in the midst oi the late excitement,
and after a few moments' consultation, pledged
fifty thousand dollars, gave a check for ten
thousand, aud said they would pay the balance
in a tew days.
The Freewill Baptists have held their anui
vcrsanee, and giveu, as usual, a largo part ot
their attention to their educational institutes.
Their Theological School Is at New Hampton,
N. II., aud the location pleases very few. Tho
effort to move it to Haverhill, Mass., seems to
be a failure: and now it was decided to have it
located in Buffalo, and to connect a college with
it, provided $100,000 could bo secured for ground
and buildings and 200,000 for endowment. For
the encouragement of those who were dbv
couraged at the long delay, it was said that tho
General Baptists of England deliberated for
thirty years before deciding on a location which
was satisiactoiy.
CATHOLIC.
The Roman Catholics of .Montreal have re
ceived some relics of St. Zcno, who, with 10,000
lollowers, is reported to have been martyred for
retaining his faith while in the Roman army.
The procession netted 2000 for the priests, as
large prices were paid for artificial palm-lcavcs
which had touched the caso which contains the
ashes of St. eno aud his followers.
The Roman Catholic Tablet, speaking of
Father Hyaciuthe's desire to have Romanism
allv itself with modern civilization, sa3'S that
since tho publication of the Pope's Encyclical
and Svllnbus of December, isb'.i, no good Catho
lie could take such a position; and that since
then Dr. Brownson has so far yielded his prc
vious 'judgment as to defend tho Syllabus as tho
great fact of the century. It also adds that tho
Catholic 'World is becoming more aud more con
servativc, though it has seemed to lean too much
to "Liberal Catholicity.
it is 6tatcd by the Bibhop of Montreal, who is
at present in JKome, that when a Catholic mis
sionary was preaching to an Indian tribe iu the
extreme north of America, a packet of letters
was given to him. on opening one of which ho
burst into tears. The chief of tho tribe asked
him the reasou of his grief. The missionary
replied. "It is because I learn from it that my
father is dead, and many other misfortunes.
"But," said the chief, "thou hast told us that
in such circumstances Ve should not weep, but
submit iu resignation to tho will of tho Great
Spirit; so to give us an example, smoko this pipe
with us ana no comioricu. uie missionary am
so at once, and went on opening his letters, among
which was a copy of the Bull of Convocation for
ihe Council. "You have nUo good news," said
tlin chief, seeing the priests loyin his face,
"Let us hear that also." "Tho good uows," said
ihn missionary, "is that tho Grand Master of
Prayer has called the, other Masters of Prayer to
aid aud counsel him." "What is his name ?" said
the chief. "Pius IX." "Am I worthy to name
that name ?" said the simple warrior. "Yes."
paid the priest; "rise, all of you, and call upon
the (ircat Spirit to bless him." The savages all
did so with the deepest testimonies of respect
and reverence, and iu imitation of tho mis
sionary ono after tho other kissed the name of
tho Holy Father printed tit tho foot of the Bull.
The missionary then explained to them what the
council was, and liow tho crimes of tho world
had made it necessary: nnd the chief, raising
hUbauds to heaven, exclaimed, "May the Great,
Spirit aid Pius IX In all his designs." I'all Malt
