TOWAlilt.1 EVEX1XG.
Tatter, the shadows fall
Along my way;
'Tis past the noon of dny.
My "westering mm" tell that the eve is near;
I know, but feel no fear.
And loved ones have gone home
A holy band.
I hear them call me from the spirit-laud
A gentle call;
Yes, dear ones, I shall come.
O, not alone! though now
I lead the van,
And, with nncovered head,
Tress on where others lod,
Where ray young life began.
I nm not left alone,
Thongh they are gone;
Sweet voices of the past,
And of to-day
The loved that round my wny
Still twine around my heart,
Tell me how good thoa art.
O holy Light aad Love!
Beam on my soul, ,
My inmost life control;
Then may each pure thought spring,
And peace, with gentle wing,
Brood like the dove.
THE ATOXEMEXT OF CHRIST.
In his "Conversation on Particular lle
demption," Andrew Fuller replies to the
statement that "the first grand idea sug
gested to an enlightened mind by the atone
ment of Christ is not God's hatred of sin,
but His love to sinners," by saying that "the
former was manifested to prepare the way
for the latter. If the question were, Why
did God give His Son to die for sinners,
rather than leave them to perish in their
sins ? the answer would be, Because
He loved them. But if the question be,
"Why did God give Ilia Son to be an atone,
ment for sinners, rather than save them with
out one? the answer would be, Beeause he
loved righteousness and hated iniquity." And
this appears to be a correct statement of the
case, ltedemption itself proves the benevo
lence of God to men, and the method of re
demption proves the sanctity of the law in his
sight. The sacrifice of Christ had for its
proximate end, on the-Divine side, a change
in God's attitude towards sinners; and for its
proximate end on the human side, a change
in the attitude of sinners towards God; it
secured the exercise of grace on the one hand
and of repentance on the other. Without this
vindication of His righteous laincluding the
penalty annexed to transgression, God would
not have approached the sinner with terms of
pardon, and without this evidence of God's
hatred of sin and love to men, the sinner
would not have welcomed pardon with a con
trite heart. These statements represent, we
suppose, the obvious meaning of the Sacred
Scriptures and the settled belief of most Pro
testant Christians. If they are correct, the
Atonement, or BAcrificial death of Christ, is
not only the central doctrine of our religion,
but without it the Gospel would cease to be
a Gospel in the full sense of the word.
SUMMARY OF CEURCR NEWS.
EPISCOPAL.
Tha ritualists of England, says the Nou
conformUt, havft organized a new Liberation
Society, which is, if possible, more outspoken
than the old one. It then quotes the follow
ing words of the He v. Orby Shipler, who may
be considered in the light of President: "A
free Church is the only antetype to a free
State." "Our present position (that of sub
jection to the State), . . . I do not hesi
tate to stigmatize as utterly anomalous, scan
dalously unjust, and undeniably godless."
"It is a violation of all consistency, that an
emancipated nation should either hold in sub
jection, or be held in subjection to, a Church
Btill politically enslaved."
According to the Churchman's Year Book,
ene-third of the Episcopal clergy have
changed their places in the past year. The
Churchman thinks this is an instructive fact,
and construes it as evidence that at least one
third of the clergy are not receiving an ade
quate support or, to put it another way, a
fair day's wages for a fair day's work.
The Church of the Ascension (Dr. J. C.
Smith's) in Now York has just suooessfully
completed its effort to raise $32,000 for the
building cf a church for the institutions at
Ganibier, Ohio.
ltev. T. S. C. M. Potter, of Massachu
setts, late a Unitarian minister, is about to
join the Episcopal Church.
ltev. C. E. Cheney, of Chicago, is again
threatened with church discipline for having
preached in a Presbyterian pulpit in Cali
fornia. The Church Weekly (organ of the ad
vanced ritualists) hints at the introduction of
monkery into the Episcopal Church in these
words: "Recognizing, more or less dis
tinctly, the good in monasticism of the past,
what is to be said of the re-establishment of
the system in our own day, and in our own
lieformed Communion? Is the character of
our time bo different from that of former
years that religious orders are an anachron
ism!'" Rev. Dr. Bledsoe, for many years the
editor of the Southern, Quarterly Review, has
left the Protestant Episcopal Church, aud
joined the Methodist Episcopal.
PRESBYTERIAN.
The Presbyterian Church, which, after
the reunion of the Old School Presbyterians,
has a membership of 4 50,000, with 4238 minis
ters, displays a remarkable energy. The
Committee on the $",000,000 Memorial Fund,
after mature consideration, adopted the fol
lowing plan: To make it easy for every
member to pay his or her proportion, the
f 5, 000, 000 were divided into $1,000,000 free
will offerings of ten cents each, weekly, for
the fifty current weeks elapsing between June
5,1870, and May 14,1671, inclusive. Each offer
ing, when complete, would thus amount to
ff, and the whole to 5,000,000. Any per
Bon is, of course, at liberty to subsoribe one
or more shares of this f and, and some have
given nobly at least one individual having
subscribed $50,000 to the fund. Up to the
present date, about $3,000,000 have been
subscribed, but though the time is short in
which to raise the remaining $2,000,000, there
are sanguine hopes that it will be realize I
within the time specified. One million dol
lars of this sum have been devoted to deno
minational institutions of learning through
out the land, and $2,000,000 have gone to
ward b' lengthening weak churches and pro
Tiding parsonages.
There is, also, in addition to this, a grand
project on foot among the churches of Nw
York to raise a fund of $1,000,000 to estab
lish a mission-building there, similar to the
Methodist Book Concern on Broadway, only
that it would not be a publishing bouse, that
department oi me x resbyterian Church en
terprises being carried on quite extensively
in Philadelphia. A portion of this f and is to
0 also toward the erection and endgaweijt
of the new Union Theologioal Seminary,
which is soon to be transferred up town
About one-third of the sum needed for those
interests has been raised, and the sabscrip
tions are steadily pouring in.
New York Presbyterians are &Uo engaged
in the erection of a costly and commodious
hospital, designed to be perfect in all its
appointments. The plot of ground, com
prising an entire block, extending from
Seventieth to Seventy-first streets, and from
Madison to Fourth avenues, was given by
one individual, and over $400,000 in cash has
been received from various donors. Three
bnildings are already in process ef erection,
and two more are designed to be built.
-It is rumored that a movement is being
inaugurated in the city of New York to orga
nize a Presbyterian church an old-fashioned
Tresbyterian church to be connected with
the Presbytery of Chesapeake.
The Rev. F. L. Ewing, formerly in
charge of the Presbyterian church at Pulaski,
Tenn., has accepted an invitation from the
Rev. Dr. F. A. Ross, of Huntsville, Ala., to
labor with him; the latter being unable,
through age and infirmities, to attend to all
the duties of his charge.
The Houston (Texas) Church, made
vacant by the resignation of the Rev. W. C.
Somerville, has given a unauiraous call to
the Rev. R. K. Suioot, of Bowling Green,
Kentucky, to bo their pastor.
The Rev. E. Porter Palmer, Professor of
Mental and Moral Philosophy in the Louisiana
State University at Baton Rouge, Louisiana,
has accepted a call to the Jackson Street
Church, Mobile, Alabama.
At the meeting of Tombeckbee Presby
tery last April, the church at Marion Station,
Mississippi, was dissolved, and the members,
twenty-four in number, transferred to Meri
dian. Twenty-three others have been added,
from time to time, by certificate, and five on
examination in all fifty-two; thus doubling
the membership in less than one year.
METHODIST.
The corner-stone of a new Methodist
Episcopal church at Buenoa Ay res, South
America, was laid December 17. A large
number of distinguished men were present,
including Hon. R. C. Kirk, United States
Minister. An earnest address was made by a
Roman Catholic, Don Juan Carlos Gomez,
who hailed the advent of Methodism as the
commencement of a new and glorious era.
South America has now 4 ministers, 220 mem
bers, 3 churches, valued at $11! , 000 (with
the new building, $21!),000), 7 Sunday
schools average attendance, 40f.
The bishops of the Methodist Church
have chosen the Rev. II. II. Farrall, Decorah,
Iowa, to establish a mission at Rome, Italy.
The Rev. William H. Miles, reoently
elected Bishop of the Southern Colored
Methodist Episcopal Church, was a member
of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion
Chnrch until after the General Conference of
that Church in 18(58.
The Boston Methodist TheologicalJSemi
nary has all the students it can acoommodate,
and. is greatly in need of new buildings.
Rev. Mr. Duhard, a Methodist minister,
was recently murdered and robbed near Co
lumbia, S. C.
On Monday, December 10, the ceremony
of unveiling the monument erected to the
memory of Mrs. Snsannah Wsulej', mother of
Revs. John and Charles Wesley, took place at
City Road chapel, London. The monument
was erected by public subscription.
Rev. Thomas B. King, for several years
a minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
was received into the New Church (Sweden
borgian), at St. Louis, on Sunday, Decem
ber 4.
BAPTIST.
A convention f delegates from the Baptist
churches of California assembled at Yaca-
vilie, December 1. They accepted the col
lege recently purchased from the Methodists,
elected trustees, and took all necessary steps
to incorporate, under the College act, a first-
class college. The trustees chose a President
and a faculty for the infant college, and made
all preparations to commence the session on
January 1, lb.l.
Ihe total membership in the Baptist
Church in Pennsylvania is 57,082. Sixty-
one churches, with a membership of 3001,
are not associated. These are mainly Welsh
and German churches. The above figures
are probably more complete than in former
years, particularly so in relation to the Welsh
Baptists in the State.
Ten lots on Sixty-seventh and Sixty-
eighth streets, and between Lexington and
Fourth avenues, New York, have come into
the possession of the Baptist Lauias Old
People's Home Society, for ninety-nine years,
at a dollar a year.
CONGREGATIONAL.
Sixteen persons were received into the
First Congregational Church at Washington,
I). J., January l. Une came from a Metho
dist church, three from Baptist, five from
Presbyterian, and six from Congregational
cnurcnes. Among tne latter were Senator
Tipton and wife, late members of the Central
Congregational Church of Washington.
A member of Mr. Beecher'a church in
Brooklyn has given $10,000 to establish the
"Beecher Lectureship in Yale Theological
Seminary. Mr. Beecher is to give the first
course.
The Tabernacle Church, Chicago, Illi
nois, the Rev. E. F. Williams pastor, have
pledged $11,000 as a memorial offering for
the purpose of raising the church, and put
ting under a basement. The rate of giving
for this improvement was one-fourth of the
income of the donors.
The CongregationalUt gives 88 as the
number of Congregational churches formed
during the year. Number of ministers de
ceased, 52.
REFORMED (DUTCH).
Seventy persons have united with the Lee
Avenue Reformed Church, Brooklyn, within
the past eleven weeks. Thirty joined last
week. The congregation has increased with
the same rapidity, and but few pews remain
unrented and unoccupied in the large edifice.
ROMAN CATHOLIC.
The Pope's encyclical excommunicating
the Italian Govern uient is addressed to the
whole body of Roman Catholics throughout
the world. The Holy Father enters into a
description of the horrible state of Rome
ever Bince the invasion was made, especially
alleging the introduction of immoral books
and newspapers into the sacred preoincts,
and the violence committed against church
property. K4 bitterly complains of that
"enormous crime, "the plebhcite of October 2,
formally repeats his protests against the spolia
tions which have been committed during latter
years, declares himself to be under duress,
bdcI adds another noil posuinU. He finally pro
ceeds to pronounce the excMivuunioatio m ijur
against "all those who have been instru
mental in accomplishing the invasion or usur
pation of any provinces whatsoever apper
taining to our State and the Holy City, those
under whose orders they have acted, aud any
persons having aided, abetted, advised, or
otherwise encouraged, or who may have per
sonally contributed to the execution of the
before-mentioned acts under whatsover pre
text." The Great Mass of Lejeal, the first per
formance of which at St. John's Chnrch
made such a stir in musical circles, will be
repeated at that church to-morrow morning
at 10$ o'clook. Bishop Becker, of Wilming
ton, will preach the sermon, and at the offer
tory the fine solo baritone of Baumgartner,
"Jesu Dulcis Memoria," will be sung with
flute obligato accompaniment.

The balance of the work necessary to establish

The established character of this road, running a?
It does through the heart of the most thickly-settled
and richest portion of the great State of Iowa, to

earnings, warrant ns in unhesitatingly recommend
ing these bonds to investors as, in every respect, an
undoubted security. A small quantity of the issue
only remains unsold, and when the enterprise Is
completed, which will be this fall, an immediate ad
vance over subscription price may be looked for.
The bonds have fifty years to run, are convertible
at the option of tho holder Into the stock of the Com
pany at par, and the payment of the principal is pro
vided for by a sinking fund. The convertibility
privilege attached to these bonds cannot fall to cause
them, at an early day, to command a market price
considerably above par. U. s. Five-twenties at pre
sent prices return only iyt per cent, currency inte
rest, while these bonds pay 9jtf per cent, and we
regard them to be as safe and fully equal as a security
to any Railroad Bond Issued; and until they are

rules of which require the road to be completed, we
obligate ourselves to rebuy at any time any of these
bonds sold by ns after this date at the same price as
realized by ns on their sale.
