OUR ZlX3XZaZOUS COIiUIVIIJ.
EDUCATION AND RELIGION.
"All ertiK'ntion mtist lie rnliRioim or Irreligious."
ft, Matt. XI), 80.
from tht N. Y. ImUpttuttnl.
Can the State educate? Beyond all donbt,
mj nioct ot our popular guide. It not only can,
bat it ought to educate; It is ita duty to educate
no of ita most imperative duties, which It
cannot neglect without peril to its own safety.
The State "owes to every child" the best educa
tion it can afford, and that such child is capable
f receiving. Nay, more say some who
write dogmatically on these matters, with
out knowing where it is leading them
education should be made compulsory.
No filnglo member of the body politic if
it can possibly be avoided should be allowed
te grow up in Ignorance, a peril to itself and to
the community. This duty of the State to edu
cate is a favorite topic with popular writers and
haranguers. The Mayors of our eitios, the
t lovernors of our States, are eloquent in calling
attention to it. All parties Tie with each other
In commending a cause (rood la itself, and in
etich harmony, they say, with the "spirit of our
huttitutions." It is about the only thing, If we
except "the poor man's rights" and "economy
in the public finances," that enters alike into
very political platform.
But what do we mean by the States educa
ting ? It may be superficially answered that it
does this when it provides the means for send
ing all the children to school, when it divides
the territory into districts, taxes the Inhabitants
ef each, and then sends back to them the
amount thuB raised to be employed for educa
tional purposes. In other words, the State is a
mere money-raiser and money-distributor, add
ing the expense of superintendents, com
missioners, and tax-gatherers to what
would have been incurred if the whole
matter had been left to the voluntary
action of the several communities. Every
cne who thinks at all must sec that this does not
answer tho great question. The raising of the
money must be for some object beyond the mere
fact of raising it. The right to interfere at all
implies the right, the duty rather, to direct and
regulate. There must be some ulterior end in
view, some good, regarded as such, not only
to the individual child, but to the State
Itself. Quality is to be had in view as well
as mere fact and quantity. It must be
tome kind of education, supposed to be
healthful conservative of the common
and individual well-being. Utilitarianism
would demand this, if regard Is had to the
highest utilities, or even the proper conserva
tion of tho lower. Granting that the end of the
State, instoadlof being the production of the
highest humanity, as the prince of the old phi
losophers maintained, is merely the protection
of person and property, still even this cannot
be secured without some kind of instruction
and discipline looking to higher ends and sanc
tions as essential to the steady and successful
maintenance of these lower aims. This is
no paradox, either In respect to the indi
vidual or the political life. Even a pru
dential morality is impossible without
having regard to some higher principle. An
"enlightened self-interest" must look out of
iUclf, if it would well attain even its selfish
object; or, in other words, we shall fall below
our more immediate aim if the eye is not
directed to something above it. But in either
view the education which the State provides,
and in which it is itself so deeply interested,
must have some determined character, some
general aspects, at least, capable of being set
tled and stated, whatever difficulties there may
be in the way of special applications.
If, then, the State educates that is, becomes
itself an educator it must have some kind of
educational system of educational ideas, as well
as educational aim. It muBt have something to
teach. This may be maintained in respect to
everything transcending the mere mechanical
departments regarded as means or inlets to the
knowledge that lies beyond. Ideas, culture,
mental states, mental growth, habits of thinking
these are aims of education. It is knowledge
useful knowledge, if you please, but in its
higher as well as in its lower senses knowledge
necessary for the ends of life, the individual life
knowledge still more necessary as having
in view that common life, that common well
being, communion with which is the elevator
and conservator of the individual political
knowledge, political economy, the best view of
the social welfare, higher still, morality, higher
still, religion as the only conservator of mo
rality, and, therefore, of all lower interests.' If
the State educates, it must have regard to all
these. It cannot overlook their connections.
It must see to it that truth is learned in
stead of error, that the education it gives is a
blessing, a true good, instead of the direst
cf mischiefs. Thus, if politics are to be
taught and all say amen to that then
the State must have a political philosophy of
some kind. There must be something predomi
nant in this department, something most in
harmony with the predominant social mind. It
is important that our youth be educated in re
publican principles, not to the exclusion of some
knowledge of a deep knowledge if it ean be
obtained of other political systems; but all for
the purpose of commanding that which the
titate, as a moral and political agent, deems
highest and best.
So In the study of history; that Is to receive
special attention which Is most in accordance
with the prevalent national thinking. In the
same way could it behown that the State must
have a mental and moral philosophy, if these
are to be taught In Its schools; much more if
such schooling Is to be made compulsory. If
morality is taught, then that morality must have
its ground of authority, its awe, its sanctions,
to give it any value as a healthful and conserv
ing energy. It must have its hold upon the con
science, or it is a mere casuistical gabble. We
, are nearing dangerous ground, as some would
think; but there is no stopping place. If the
State must have its morality, It must have its
religion.

' i JtPISCOPAL.
Important chAges have been made in the
management of the Evangelical Education So
ciety. The Secretaries, the ltev. O. ferinchlef
and Rev. D. S. Miller, 1). I)., have resigned their
positions, and have retired from the active con
duct of the affairs of the Society. The Board of
Managers have invited the Rev. It. K. Matlack
rector of tho Church of the Nativity, Philadel
phia, to take the position of .Financial Secre
tary. The Episcopalian difficulties have reached
such a point that a memorial has been prepared
and has received the signatures of 103 clergy
men and 30 laymen, rejueBtln "the Bishops of
the Dioceses of Ohio, Delaware, TennKylvanla,
Massachusetts, Virginia, Kentucky, Iowa,
Kansas, and Nevada, to consider whether there
le grounds for presenting for trial anv Bishop
or Bishops who may be alleged to hold, and to
have tangbt publicly or privately and advUedly,
dot trie contrary to those he'd by the trotus-
tant Eplrfforml Chnrch In the United Butes,
with tho view of having the real doctrines of our
Church afllrmt'd And settled by the authority of
Its liltliot judicature."
The lligh-Chiircb party la making rapid
progress in Knrlund. They have been holding
In London a "Twelve Days' Mission," (the name
f riven by Roman Catholics to their revival meet
ngs), under the patronage of the Bishops of
iundon, Winchester, and Rochester. The
"mission priests" Include many of the most
earnest and devoted lllgh-Church leaders.
Among the features of this "mission" is
the hearing of confession by the "mis
sion priests." It has been a real success,
and ' characterized by a freedom of worship
rare among Anglicans. Mr. Mackonochie, who
was forbidden to use randies, now keens seven
pendant lamps always burning before the altar,
and requires those Intending to "communicate"
to give notice the previous day, so as "to protest
the blessed sacrament." ltev. Charles Parnell,
of Liverpool, has Issued directions te his congre
gation to rise at the entrance of the clergy, and
keep their seats till the clergy and choir have
retired. He thus Instructs them in the proper
method of "receiving the Blessed Sacrament: '
"No one should attempt to receive the Lord's body
between the finger anil thumb. The anelent and
proper mode la to cross the hands, the right being
uppermost, open, anil quite fiat. The Lord's body
will le placed In the palm, and the hands ahonld e
raised to the mouth without touching It with the
fingers. Communicants should kneel upright, and
should not forget to take on their gloves before tlier
come np to the altar; there should Tie no prostrations
while receiving. The chalice should be taken firmly
by the knob In the centre of the stein, and not tilted
by the foot, which Is a very dangerona practioe. It
should be rained slowly to the Una, and then re
turned to the priest without any harrying. To wipe
the Hps afterwards with a pocket-handkerchief Is an
Irreverence Impossible to any who believe they have
received the Lord's blood."
PREH1IYTER1AN.
The Kcv. Joseph McKelvcy, of tho mission
in China, has returned to this country, and is in
good health.
The Presbyterian congregation at Franklin,
Tennessee, have secured the services of Dr. J.
II. Rice, late of Mobile, to fill the pulpit in their
church.
In less than four months, Sarah Hart, B. F.
Pinkerton, and E. Cnrrie, all good missionaries,
have been removed from that one inviting,
promising, but needy, very needy mission of
Egypt.
The College and Theological Seminary at
Monmouth, Illinois, are in a nourishing condi
tion. There are twenty students in the semi
nary at this time. All but four of these are first
year students.
The Monthly lieligious Magazine says that
nearly all the Unitarian congregations of Eng
land are of Presbyterian descent. Out of 240
Presbyterian chapels of about A. D. 1700, 212
now have Presbyterian Unitarian congregations.
A decision of tho Supreme Court of Missouri
gives Lindenwood College to the Old School
Presbyterians, and not to the Declaration and
Testimony party, notwithstanding the secession
to that body of the Presbyterians where the col
lege is located and who support it.
Dr. Imbrle (Old School Presbyterian), of
Jersey City, becomes associate editor or tho
Evangelist, but without leaving his pastorate.
Dr. Cuyler (New School) refuses to become co
editor of the (Old School) Presbyterian, of this
city.
On a late Sabbath twenty persons were re
ceived, upon profession of their faith, as mem
bers of the Presbyterian church of Ilartwood
(formerly Yellow Chapel), in Stafford county,
Virginia, of which the Rev. F. M. Woods is the
pastor.
The American Presbyterian report that
since the adoption of the resolutions on Psal
mody, presented by Rev. Dr. McLcod in the
Synod at Xenia, three years ago, the ministry of
the Reformed Presbyterian Church has been re
duced from 47 to 211. One presbytery (that of
Pittsburg), a few years ago the largest in the
body, has now only one pastor. Allthe former
missionaries have suspended their relations with
the Synod. There are only three licentiates. Of
the CI) congregations reported, only 24 have pas
tors; and of the vacancies about one-third are
fictitious, several having no members at all.
At the late meeting of the Presbytery of
Wisconsin, the nuine of the Verona congrega
tion was ordered to be put on the roll of Presby
tery's congregations. They wore formerly in
connection with the Old School Presbyterian
Church. The number of the membership of this
congregation was not known at the time of their
admission. It was supposed to be about seventy
five. They have just completed a very neat par
sonage, and consider themselves able to support
a pastor. They are located about ten miles from
Madison, the capital of the State, and their coun
try is one that yields the good things of life
abundantly.
.METlIOniST.
The report of the committee appointed to
investigate the irregularities of the Methodist,
Book Concern fails to give satisfaction. It is
severely criticized by both the secular and the
religious press. One prominent daily makes
this severe comment: "They were placed in a
position of trust and confidence, and it was not
their business to shield delinquents, or to make
themselves the means of condoning the offences
that had been committed. By being weak
enough to suppose that a carefully 'doctored'
report would prevent scandal, they have only
made matters ten times worse than they were
before, confirmed the statements originally
made, and forfeited the confidence of their own
brethren and the general public."
BAPTIST.
The Baptists of Massachusetts arc declared
by the Rev. Mr. Fltz, their Tlomo Missionary, to
have 117 of their ordained clergy unemployed
in pastoral work and 03 churches lacking pas
tors. The Twenty-fifth Street Church of New
York city have unanimously called the Rev. J.
C. Loriiner, D. D., the earnest and successful
pastor of the First Church of Albany, New
York, to become their pastor.
A Baptist paper says of the new Crozcr
Theological Institution of Peuusylvanla, that it
is obeying the apostolic injunction to covet
earnestly the best gifts. Having taken Pro
feBcor G. D. B. Pepper from Newton Seminary,
it is now trying to secure Professor Hovey also.
Nothing Is more wonderful among Baptist
missions, says the National liaptist, than the
progress of the Baptist cause in Germany. Mr.
Oncken and six others were baptized by Dr.
Scars, at Hamburg, April &J, 1834. The next
day these persons were organized Into a church,
and Mr. Oncken ordained pastor. From this be
ginning the movement has grown until now
the principal statistics are: Associations, 4;
churches, 00; stations and out-stations, 1188;
missionaries, 5; ministers and Bible colporteurs,
about 2T0; church members, 17.088; Sunday
Schools, 115, with about 8700 scholars.
Rev. W. P. 1 Idlings, of tho Second German
town Church, tendered his resignation of the
pastorate of this church, te take effect Novem
ber 1st, but the church refused to accept It.
Upon due deliberation, however, he has declined
to recall it. When he became pastor, in 1807,
the church numbered 37 members, and it re-
Sorted to the Association, at its lost meeting in
ictober, a membership of 136. The great ma
jority of these additions were by baptism.
