There is no longer an established church lu
Jamaica. Tho Clergy act expired tbe lint day
in ltjOVJ, and was not renewed. An attempt was
made to have any church aided from public
lunds that would assume tho evangelizing of
needy districts; but tho voluntary churches re
fused" to accept the money. Tho clergyraon,
however, retain their present salaries for life.
Mr. Mackonochio, nminisicrol theChurchof
Englund, carried his ritualism no fur that he was
dealt with by the authorities, ami found guilty
of an.attcmpt to evade tho Church canons by in
genious subterfuges. It appears that he hat
sympathizing friends. The Vhnrrh Jierald
asserts that, in consequence of the Privy Coun
cil's decision in tbe Mackonochio case, several
clergymen have expressed a deeiro to cuter tho
Hoiuan Catholic Church.

case of a church which uses instrumental music.
It has proved that quite a number have intro
duced the innovation, and it was finally voted

of censure, as ''it would tend to bring tbe
C'hursh into ridicule," and the accused church
was not tbe only one at tautt.
The elders of the Presbyteries of Brooklyn
and Nassau (Long Ibland) held a meeting last
week, in Dr. Cuylcr's church. Nassau Presby

According to a recent letter of the Rev.
Allen Wight, the Southern Presbyterian Church
has not one white missionary at present able to
preach tho gospel to the Cboctaws. There is
another Indiau miuhter besides Mr. Wight, who
lives some one hundred and twenty miles from
him, and these constitute the remnant of the
once iutlnential body of Christian ministers in
that part of the vineyard. Most of them are
dead. The venerable l)r. Cyrus Kingsbury, the
founder of the mission, still lives and labors,
though he has been in the held upwards of fifty
years.

There arc in Ireland I0.C00 Primitive Me
thodists, who have no ecclcfciustlcal connection
w ith Ihe Primitive Methodists of England. Their
ministers observe the early rule of Wesley,
which prohibited them from assuming the privi
leges of Ihe clergy iu administering the sacra
ments. But tbe disestablishment of tho Irih

there Is quite a discussion whether they shall
connect themselves with the ii plscopaliaus or
the Wcbleyavs.

tbo Tribune, sav that tho number of those who
follow the Archbishop of Paris and Bishop
Marct In denying tho Infallibility of tho Pope,
but attribute this infallible dircci'ioiiot the Spirit
to tbo united hierarchy of which tho Pope I
the head, Is very small. The large portion of
the minority, led by Dupauloup, nro anxious to
liavo the question unsealed; a matter on which
M. city of faith shall Ite allowed, ni in tho past.
The act u-tlc properties of the hall are said to bo
so horrible that it Is qnito Impossible to lm

It is believed at Rome that Dr. Dollingcr is
the "Janus" whose famous book has been for
mally condemned by tbe Church. A letter by
tho Archbishop of Malines against Infallibility
has been suppressed by the Pope's orders. It Is
said, but can hardly bo true, that an archbishop
has been despatched from Komo to Paris
to learn tho Emperor's opluiou on tho
mutter of Infallibility. The last telegraphic
news Is that tbe Pope is very much incensed at
Dr. Dollingcr's protest against infallibility, and
refuses to receive an address opposing tho doc

OutfUhrn. Rev. E. G. Brooks, pastor of the
Church of the Messiah, Locust and Juniper
ftrcits, will dclhcr the second sermon lo out
siders, or non-ehurclnroers, to-morroiv morning.
Subject "The Reasons Why." x
Ihe sermon on Sunday eve l.t was devoted
principally to a statement of the facts in the
case. These nro certainly somewhat startling.
Tbe whelo number of congregations meeting in
chnrches or balls throughout tho entire conwjli
datcd cilv of Philadelphia Is less thau four hun
dred. These, it Is estimated, will not average
two hundred nnd tif'y persons directly or indi
rectly connected; but stretching the estimate to
the utmost possible extent, to call the average
three hundred and fifty would give a total of
one hundred aud .forty thousand Thoso knbi
luaVy attending any place of worship might,
however, with safety be t et down ns notmjre
than half that number. Our population is
shown by a careful estimate to bo 785,000; so,
stretching 1 he number represented by our reli
gion organizations of nil kinds to the largest
possible aggregate, there arc (lift, 000 people In
this single city who are ns utterly out&ide all
church coinicciious u if there were no such
thing.
It religious Institutions arc of nry worth, thU
is an appalling state of f.icti-; and what is true
of Philadelphia holds good, doubtless, with un
important variations, throughout the entire
land, only from one-lifth to one-fourth of the
poi idatinn bclntr cither directly or indirectly
connected wjth cliurch organizations. This pro
portion orjly of the population is contributing to
tlic maintenance oi those imtilutlous upon tno
existence of w hich all else that is most valuable
in the life of our communities depends.
itb raro exceptions, all Intelligent people
admit the usefulness of churches, and arc agreed
that, li v ould bo a calamity to have them dis
continued. They confess that our religious In
stitutions underlie all the most precious interests
of our communities, and that they could not be.
overthrown without tho most disastrous eonac
qu r tis.
Look, for instance, from the dollar stand
point. Peal estate would not bo worth more
hue if thue were no ehurches,or could be none,
than it was in Sodom when It was burning.
Ptrl aps, nut of the 045,000 outsiders, not one
hundred could be lound who would vote tor the
destruction of the churches, and yet sharing, as
by this admission they do, in their hciielits, tucy
do cot share in the expense ol their uiaiuic
nnrce.
This state of facts means, moreover, that four
fifths of our communities nro totally withdrawn
lrom personal contact with the means ot lutlu
ence upon which the moral health of society de
pends, and however the inilueuce of the Bible,
the Sabbath, and the rnihiit extends indirectly.
it is a Eerlous cons ideration that so large a pro
portion of our population are reached only In
this remote nnd Indirect way. The Church
stands for the moral power at work in Christen
dom. Uther means oi moral power there cer
tainly are, but the Church underlies them all.
Whatever exceptions there may be, and there
are doubtless many, nwny from tho church or
without the Church, and in proportion to tho
abtenco ot cliurch lullucuce, tlic rule U moral
declension. No liiau, however high toned and
unimpeachable his integrity, can, without moral
risk, separate himself from the organized moral
nnd Christian life of the community, and no
community can have such a class without having,
to the same extent, nu element of deirenera-:v
and moral deterioration In it, and the number of
this clnss in any community tells us exactly
what is the dead weight its Chrisliauity has
to carry.
Occasional lapses nnd flagrant crimes do oc
casionally iceur among cliurch members, but
who will t-ny that the elements of misrule and
immorality come as a general thing from that
class 'i I-or ninety-nine one-liundrcdths ot nil
our lawlessness, must look outside of church lu
llucuce. Ihis non-church going moans, moreover, lhat
a very hi rue majority spend the Sabbath in ways
not conducive to moral or intellectual improve
ment. Makjng all allowance for those who stay
at he me, visit friends, or stroll iuto the country,
what vast number spend the day lu rum
shops, gambling hells, or houses of Infamy, or
In lounging about the corners or in other places
of vicious retort! Probably more men spend the
day In tho rum shops aud like places thau attend
all the churches combined. Wo have, it Is said,
more than ten ihouraiid such shops of all kinds,
high nt:d low, and u moderate estimate will give
to each an axeiage of seven loungers during the
day. 'J his alone gives us "an army of 70,001),
more than the number of all our church-goer
at our lust census. What Is iho harvest that
must cirtaiiily come to our city, and what is tho
state of tiling which reputable and hlgh-miuded
uon-cburch goers are helping to promote by tho
force of their example '
