UNEH ON A SKELETON.
Behold this mint Twas a eknl),
On re of ethereal epirit full;
This narrow cell was life's retreat,
This space was thought's mysterious eat.
What beauteous visions filled this spot!
What dreams of pleasure long forgot!
Nor bepe nor love, nor Joy nor fear '
Have left one trace or record here.
Beneath that mouldering canopy
Once shone the bright and busy eye.
But start not at the dismal void:
If social love that eye employed,
Jf with ne lawless fire It gleamed,
But through the dew of klndnens beamed,
That eye shall be forever bright
When stars and suns are sunk in night.
Within this hollow cavern hung
The readyt swift and tuneful tongue.
If falsehood's honey it disdained,
And whei St could not praise was chained,
- If bold in virtue's cause It spoke,
Yet gentle concord never broke,
That silent tongue shall plead for thee
When time unvoils eternity.
Say, did those fingers delve the mine!1
Or with its envied rubies shine?
To hew the rock or wear the gem,
Can little now avail to them,
But If the page of truth they sought,
Or comfort to the mourner brought,
The hands a richer need shall claim
Than all that wait on wealth or fame.
, Avails it whether bare or shod .
Those feet the paths of duty trod?
If from the halls of cohc they fled
To seek aflliction's humble shed,
If grandeur's guilty bribe they spurned
And home to virtue's cot returned,
Those feet with angels' ways shall vie,
And tread the palace of the sky.
T HYING TO MAKE A CUU1STIAN NA
TION. Good Intentions, even when recorded by brave
attempts at execution, are not always suOicient
lor the accomplishment of worthy ends. It Is
klgbly honorable, for instance, to aim at the
reconstruction of society on the basis that every
, kuman being is or ought to be a Christian. But
It Is a "stubborn fact" a very mule of a f act
that most men are not Christians and do not
really wish to bo Christians. Say "ought" to an
average man nnd he replies "can't," which
weans won't. It is idle to attempt to make this
a Christian nation by acknowledging God in the
Constitution, or by enacting laws far in advance of
the average moral sentiment of the people.
Such provisions must be generally disregarded,
thus making Christianity, as embodied in politi
cal forms, a mottkerv. We bona that (!hrlKt.in.n
ity will one day bo recognized in all constitu- I
lions and laws and methods of public inatrue- I
tlon and of private business, but that hope is
founded on the expectation that the whole world
will then be converted to Christ, and that such
recognition, unanimously and voluntarily
adopted, will have no savor of hypocrisy about
it. We look forward to that time when upon
everything shall be written "Holiness unto the
Lord," as to the day of completion, the day
when the capstone of the temple shall be laid
by Christ himself. But to anticipate that day
by constitutional recognitions of God the Father
and Christ the Saviour is like hanging a cap
stone high In the air and fastening other stones
to it, instead of building up from a foundation
in solid earth. We must build up from the
-Christ withlif us the hope of glory, not down
from a Christ hanging upon the vote of an irre
ligious majority.
Ttlsbop Temple's Recanted Recantation,
JV7)i the Hartford Churchman.
The evils of the present union of Church and
State in England were never so sadly apparent
as when BiBnop Temple, in the Convocation of
Canterbury, stood up to defend his contribution
to the volume of "Essays and Reviews," which
that same body, in 18(rt, condemned as "con
taining teaching contrary to the doctrine
Tccclved by the United Church of England and
Ireland in common with the whole Catholic
Church of Christ."
The Archdeacon of Exeter announced In Con
vocation that he had permission from his Dioce
san to stale that Bishop Temple's essay would
sot appear in any future edition of the volume,
and that it would probably never be published
again. The Convocation evidently accepted
this as a recantation cn the part of 'Bishop
" Temple of the obnoxious opinions previously
held, and a sundering of all fellowship with
the former associates In free thinking. It came
as a healing balm to the wounded consciences
f the clergy. It fell like oil upon the troubled
waters of the English Church. All was peaceful
once more. Even those who had most bitterly
opposed the confirmation of the appointment of
Dr. Temple and his consecration confessed
themselves satislied and the convocation breathed
Iree once more.
We cannot enter very fully into the brief joy
which pervaded that assembly at this recanta
tion. It was no doubt a good thing for Bishop
Temple to do, even though it was done late. It
came not too early for the pride of a self-willed
dcifier of conscience, nor too lute to spoil the
picture so pleasant to the enemies of the
Church of a blnkop holding doctrines which
his own communion had condemned. BUhop
Temple would have done something to
wards saving both his own honor and
that of the Church. But no repent
nce or recantation, whether comiug early or
late after his appointment by Mr. Gladstone,
could atone for the evil already produced by his
essay, or for the scandal brought upon Chris
tianity by the selection of its author as one of
the chief pastors of the flock of Christ. He
might withdraw that essay from circulation and
burn every copy nay, like Cranmer, be might
have burned the hand that wrote it, but be could
not withdraw Its teachings from the minds of
Its readers.
But it seems that Bishop Temple was not
ready to grant the Church the favor of even a
tardy recantation. The calm produced by the
Archdeacon's statement ou Wednesday, was
broken on Friday by a statement from the
Bishop himself. It came like u thunderbolt Into
that peaceful house, and those who hod for a
few hours fancied that the storm was over, saw
fresh cause for alarm. For the Bishop defiantly
stated that he held to the same opinions as
formerly, and was ready to defend thera. Ho
should withdraw his essay from publication, if
at all, only because the volume in which it
originally appeared had done its work and
that a good work.
Bishop lempio mates mucu ot conscience,
and takes the ground that ho cannot honestly
regret having given to the world tho essay in
question. But ought not conscience to have
told him that, as long as he upholds doctrines
which his own convocation has formally con
demned, he cannot honestly hold a bishopric 't
The English Church has learned and canuot
soon forget one Important lesson. That lesson
Is the peril of Crown appointments to the epis
copate, and, consequently, of the whole connec
tion of Church ana Bute. Men now have their
eyes open, and Bishop Temple, It seems, is des
tined not 10 allow them to close again very soon.

arTiT.
Mr. Jsaae J.nnin, the inventor of he "Lamb
knitting Machine," was recently ordained a
Baptist Jii Intatcr in Michigan.
The Hanson Plate Baptist Church In Brook
lyn, N. Y., received sixty-three additional mem
bers at the last communion. The religious in
terest continues.
Kev. J. Hyatt Smith has resigned charge of
.the Lccompton Avenue Baptist Church, Brook
lyn, and intends to start a new enterprise on the
open communion principle.
The Baptist colleges have nearly 3000 sto
dents, an Increase of over 500 since last Tear.
There are 800 students fitting for the ministry,
of whom 840 are in theological seminaries.
The Kev. Levi Wheelock, formerly a Con
rcgational minister,was reordalnod to the work
of the ministry by a Baptist Council at Wood
land, Barry county, Michigan, January 13.
1). C. Adams and wife, of the Methodist
Chnrch, the former an acceptable preacher In
that body, and E. R. fierce and wife, the former
a useful minister of the United Brethren Chnrch,
were lately immersed by Rev. E. J. Ooodspced,
D. D., of Chicago.
The Rev. E, Ford, former pastor of the
Christian Church in Lewlsburg, Pa., but more
recently admitted lnts tho membership of the
Lcwisburg Baptist Chnrch, has received a call
to become pastor of the Brldgewater Baptist
Church, in Montrose, Susquehanna county, I'a.
On Wednesday evening, February 16, a
mass meeting of the Baptists was held at the
First Chnrch, Baltimore, ifd., when the sum of
35,000 was raised for the Eutaw Flace Baptist
Church, now nearly completed. This sura,
together with 158,000 already contributed (in
cluding the lot donated), amounts to 1)813,000,
leaving a comparatively easy amount yet to be
raised for the entire cost.
The Freewill Baptist National Education So
ciety have voted to transfer their theological
school, now at Hampton, N. U., to Providence,
R. I., provided such a movement is generally
desired, and something in the way of endow
ment promised. The propositions selecting
Haverhill, Mass., and Buffalo, N. Y., and pro
posing a division of the institution between
Bates and Hillsdale Colleges, did not meet with
favor.
KPlSCOPAt.
An Episcopal church in Ellzabethtown,
Kentucky, has allowed the Presbyterians the
use of their church, Bishop Cummings gladly
consenting.
The report that Bishop Williams, of Connec
ticut, has prohibited Dr. Ewer's preaching in
Connecticut Is not true. He has, however,
written to bim on tho subicct of his sermon,
and action will depend on his reply.
Dr. Temple has changed his mind about
refusing to allow his essay to appear In future
editions of "Essays and Reviews." It will ap
pear, but as the composition of Frederick
Temple, and not of the Bishop of Exeter.
A convocation of English bishops, held at
the summons of the Archbishop of Canterbury,
has resolved to appoint a committee of scholars
to report at a subsequent meeting as to the
wisdom of revising our present version of the
Bible.
The English Court of Arches has decided
what garments may be worn by the clergy.
The cope, chasuble, surplice, alb, tuniclo, and
birctta are allowable in tho communion service,
but at no other time. An appeal is to be taken
to the Privy Council.
Bishop Whipple, who is travelling in Europe
for his health, had a gift of twenty thousand
dollars presented to him for the endowment for
the Episcopal College of a professorship, and
one thousand dollars' worth of books. The pre
sents were made from the Oxford University.
The General Theological Seminary (Episco
pal) of New York has at last secured a dean in
the person of J. M. Forbes, D. D., a clergyman
of some note, who some time ago returned to
the Church of his youth, after having for fif
teen years been a member of the Roman
Church.
Rev. George W. Foote, Missionary from
Utah, preached on Sunday morning last at St.
Luke s Church, Thirteenth street, and gave a
very interesting account of the work of the
Church in this benighted region; also, of tho
great need of funds to carry on the work among
the Mormons, particularly in building churches
and school houses.
There is in Salt Lake City a temporary build
ing used for church and school purposes, the
latter having over one hundred pupils. Mr.
Foote is a clergyman of pleasing address, and,
we should judge, of considerable ability, ana
one who is well calculated to prosecute, under
Bishop Tuttlc, this Important work. He will,
no doubt, be favorably received by Episcopa
lians, and the wants of tho mission receive a
liberal response at their hands.
1'llF.SllYTEKI AN.
An incendiary fire destroyed the Presbyte
rian church at Sugar creek, near Charlotte. N.
C, a few days ago. It had just been remodelled
and repaired.
The Holmes Church, on the Eastern Shore :
of Virginia, has made a call for the pastoral
services of the Rev. Dr. Handy, of Orange Court
House.
Mr. P. Gowan, Jr., has accepted an Invita
tion to labor in the Zion Church, Charleston,
S.C. Since he completed his course in the Semi
nary last spring, he had Deen preaching to the
Columbia colored congregation at the Ladson
Memorial chapel.
METHODIST.
Tho Methodist Recorder, during three weeks,
has reported 1500 conversions among the Metho
dist Protestant churches.
Methodist preaching was started last April
in Orebro, a large town in Central Sweden, half
way between Stockholm and Gottenburg. A
large ball was obtained, and after nine months'
labor they have SW0 members, and the room far
too small for them.
In 18U8 the Methodists received- 104,840
probationers, now many of these were re
ceived to full membership it is impossible to
tell; but the following year showed an iucrease
of but 54,447 in the full membership. It Is evi-.
dent that scarce one-third of the "probationers"
became full members, after making all possible
allowances lor losses by death or excommuni
cation. The Methodists in New York report 18'2,0.V
members, of whom 150,377 arc in full member
ship. The Presbyterians have 10!V03 members,
the Baptists 10, 70o, tho Episcopalians 011,047,
and the Congregationalists 25,448. During the
last nine years Methodism in New York has in
creased 10 per cent, in membership, 23 per cent,
in churches, 51 per cent, in parsonages, 5 per
cent, lu Sabbath schools, 15 per cent, in Sunday
school teachers, 87 per cent, in Sunday school
scholars, 140 per cent. is the value of church
edifices, nnd 104 per cent, iu the value of par
sonages. The first Methodist Convention for Mew
York met last week in Syracuse, attended by
400 delegates. This is is uu entirely voluntary
meeting, quite outside of the regular ecclesias
tical machinery. The success that has attended
similar meetings in New England led to the
meeting of this somewhat Congregational ad
visory body. The great work done was to pro
vide for the establishment near Syracuse of a
first-class university under Methodist control.
Already tho Methodists have In the State 'i
seminaries, with 115 instructors, and 2080
msilo and 1542 female pupils, and pro
perty worth 41 1,500. Besides these
are 13 other , seminaries, of which
the principal olllccr is a graduate of a Metho
dist college. It was resolved to raise $500,000
for tho new university, and Dr. J. T. Peck, Rev.
.1. V. Crawford of Syracuse Hon. F. H. Root of
llfr..li Vir.nl, Vnmirottnn V.aii .. nf THrtn nnrl
LiJjnu J 1 - ------
Midge Comstock of Syracuse, each subscribed
25,000, and before tho convention closed over
200,000wcre subscribed, luo JueinociiHts in
and around Syracuse had already subscribed.
on virtually the same basis, 125,000. The
city had bonded itself for 4100,
000 towards the endowment, and
the citizens had pledged the buildlnirs, which
they will not make cost less than another
Vioaouo. All this is now thoucht available lor
the new and ealarged project. A forty-acre
site, tue noblest in all the suburbs or In on on
diiga valley, 1k already secured; and thus over
500,000 are vMeMcrd enre before even a
charter is asked. Ills understood that when
ever Genesee CoUeire shall move to Syracuse, it
is to be incorporated In the University. A papor
was read signed by the Alumni of Genesee Col
lege approving the measure.
COHOnEOATIOWAX..
The faculty of Yale College, Mas., have re
commended to the Congrcffatlonal churches in
the State to provide the rooms for students In
Uie Yale Seminary buildlnir, with furniture, at a
oet of slaty dollars for each room.
The Pearl Street Chnrch in Hartford, Conn.,
have voted unanimously to give op their expen
sive quartette choir, one of tho finest In the
Bute, and to substitute congregational singing.
There will then be thiee Congregational
churches in Hartford which sing congrcga
tionally. The Fourth Church, of Hartford, Connec
ticut, have given the Park Church and Society
liberty to call their pastor, the Rev. N. J. Bur
ton. The church have done so, and the society
will undoubtedly concur. The Vourant says
that the Wooeter Street Society have voted to
form a chnrch, and already upwards of fifty
names are pledged. The Centre Church, having
charge of Warbnrton Mission chapel, are look
ing for the right man to Uke charge of that
field, and to be also a helper of the Rev. Mr.
Gould in the abundant work of the Centre
parish.
LUTHERAN.
The endowment of "Luther College," nt
DceoUb, Iowa, is reported at 7:1,124, which
sum is being constantly Increased by contribu
tions large and small, even down to twenty-five
cents!
The Rev. R. Adclberg, recently of Albany,
and President of the New York Mlnlstcrium, is
now pastor of a German Lutheran church in
Watertown, Wis., and a Prolessor In the North
western University, located in the same place.
This institution has six clerical professors and
134 students.
REFORMED.
The Rev. Chester 1. Hartranft, of New
Brunswick, N. J., having accepted the call ot
the First German Reformed congregation, Race
street, below Fourth, will enter upon his pastoral
duties on the first Sabbath In April next.
CATHOLIC.
The Archbishop of Cologne has suspended
Dr. Kaiser, of Duseeldorf, for falling, in cele
brating the marriage of Prince Charles of Rou
mania with the Princess Elizabeth, Protestant,
of Wied, Prussia, to exact the promise that the
children of the marriage should be educated in
the Catholic faith.
Archbishop Spalding, of Baltimore, Is said
to be the leader of a third party in the Roman
Council, which aims to mediate between the
two extremes. A writer says that a paper
drawn up by him which has received signatures,
expresses the desire that tho Council may limit
its action to a declaration of censure against
whoever shall profess erroneous doctrines hostile
to the Pope's primacy; against those who main
tain that "while they owe an external venera
tion for the decrees of the Roman Pontiff, they
are by no means obliged to yield the internal
assent of their hearts and minds;" against those
who see nothing impossible in the Pope's
opinion differing from that of the bishops, thus
morally severing the head of tho Church from
the body and members; and against those who
maintain that the Pope may occasionally con
demn some proposition from the more fact of
not having thoroughly understood it.
The administrators of the various Catholic
dioceses have published the regulations for Lent.
Fasting is enjoined to the extent of allowing
but one meal a day, with a "moderate collation"
in the evening to the amount of one-quarter of
an ordinary meal, consisting of "bread, butter,
cheese, fruits, salads, vegetables, and fish," but
not milk or eggs. Tea, coffee, or chocolate Is
also allowed in the morning. Flesh meat is
allowed by dispensation on Mondays, Tuesdays,
and Thursdays, and there is to be no restriction
of any sort on 8undays. Fish, eggs, and milk
are the only articles of the meat kind allowed
on fasting days, though custom allows fish to be
fried in lard instead of butter. Children, the in
firm, those obliged to do hard work, and women
whose condition require It, are excused from
keeping the fasts.
