HEAVIER TUE CROSS.
Heavier the cro?s, the nearer htaven:
No croes wiihon', a Go! within,
Death, J idiment don tbe heart ae driven
Amid the worlu's faVe gl ire r.nd din.
O happy he, with all his loss,
Whom God hath set beueith ihe cross.
Heavier the cross, the belter Ch'lst'a ;
This is the touchstone Gol app'les.
How mry a pardon would bi ir
Unwet by showers from weepinj eyer!
The jrold by fire U pu fi d;
The Christina is by trouble tried.
Heavier the cross, the more aspirins;;
From vales we climb to moontaln crest;
The pilgrim of the desert tiring,
Longs for the Canaan of his rest.
The dove ha here no rest in sight,
And to the ark 6he wings hr flight.
Heavier the cross, the easier dying;
Death is a friendlier face to see;
To life's decay ona bids defying,
From life's distress one then is free.
The cross sublimely lifts our faith
To Him wtfo triumphed over death.
Thou Crucified the cross I carry,
The longer, miy it dearer be;
And leet I faint while here I tarry,
Implant thou such a heart in me;
ThiUlfaith, hope, love may flourleh there,
Till lor the cross my crown I wear.
STRAY THOUGHTS.
How many needs have they for whom Jesus
pleads! The Holy Spirit leads those for whom
Jesus pleads, and Jesus pleads for those whom
the blessed Spirit levels. No pleading, no lead
ing. The Lord will never fall those whom He
teaches that they are frail. He will not fail the
frail.
Those who are made meek by the Lord are
made meet for Him. Toose who are made meek
by His grace are made meet for His glory.
Where there is no evidence that a person has
been made meek by grace, there is no proof
that he has been made meet for glory. .Meek
ness and meetnesa are not far apart; both are the
works of God.
The God of heaven can alone make a Binner
meet for it.
Those whom the Lord mades strong will not
be on the earth long.
The el'ild of God sometimes feels black, slack,
and flat.
Mcttiug gives the believer such good cheer as
to feel the .Lord is near. The fear of the Lord's
frown will cast him. down,
A man may have wet eyes, and not spiritual
cries. Ksau had. A man may pray, and not be
in the right way. Balaam did (Num. xxiii. 10).
Thoee who love God will not escape the rod.
SUMMARY OF CHURCH NEWS.
EPISCOPAL.
Ihe Rev. Edward Hale, rector of St. Paul's
Church, in Kinderhook Village, died at the
Utlca Lunatic Asylum lately. He was suddenly
seized with lunacy the previous week, which
was first noticed by the public in the sermon
preached by him on Sunday.
A correspondent of the New York Observer
relates the case of an Episcopal clergyman in
that city who declined to attend the funeral of
a most estimable lady, a member of his own
congregation. The reason was that the lady's
family, who all belonged to the Dutch Church,
desired that their own pastor should take part,
in the services, which were held in a private
house.
A Mr. Buss, in the House of Commons, In
the discussion on the bill giving to Dissenters
the r'ght of burial in cousecrated church-yards,
eaid he had no objection tn the burial of Dis
senters in those grounds, provided they would
perform their burial service at their homes or in
their chapels, but he would not vote for permis
sion to celebrate such services in the church
yards. Rev. C. P. Jennings, M. D., for many years
a Presbyterian minister, was ordained in the
Episcopal Church in Columbia, Mo., in February
last.
Rev. Mr. Schereschewsky, connected with
the Episcopal mission at Pekin, China, has been
engaged for three years in translating the Old
Testament into the Mandarin Chinese, the
olllclal language used throughout the empire.
Much remark has been excited by the action
of the Rev. Dr. Cooper, Rector of the Protest
ant Episcopal Church at Mount Pleasant. Iowa,
In admitting a preacher of the Society of
Friends to his pulpit, it being apparently so
contrary to the traditions of tbe Episcopal
Church. According to the Church Journal,
however, the rule for such cases was so amended
by the last General Convention as to leave this
matter of the introduction of "sectarian preach
ers" into "church pulpits" entirely to the
pastor. "He can permit any one to minister
to his church, and before its congregations, who
can give evidence suilicientto him of.being duly
licensed or ordained."
rRESBTTERIAJ).
An educational convention of ministers and
laymen of tbe United Presbyterian Church was
held at Alleghany City, Pa., on March 7th. It
resolved to ask the coming General Assembly to
designate a day of prayer for colleges and
schools, and to consider the propriety of ap
pointing a University Board or Senate, to have
the management of educational interests; to fix
a course of study for all the institutions; to
examine all candidates for degrees, confer de
grees, etc.
-.Meetings in aid of the memorial fund have
been held in many of the Presbyterian churches
in New York during February and March. Oa
April 2d meetings are to occur at the Rutgers
Church, and at Rev. George S. Chambers'
Church, on Murray Hill. "The effort," says
the Observer, "is one to equip the Church for a
future career of increas'ng usefulness, and to
accomplish this in grateful recognition of past
mercies. It evidently took its rise In gratitude
and joy, was begun with prayer, and it now
seems to bid fair to terminate in a general
thanksgiving."
The Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions
give notice that unless they exceed, for this
and the next month, the receipts for the corres-
Sonding months of the last year, there will be a
eficit of 74,O0O. The members of the board
call for an earnest efforts on the part of the
churches to save it from such a result of the
year's labors for the first year of the union.
The new aud handsome Presbyterian church
at Midway, Ky., was dedicated to the service of
God lately. Tbe services on this occasion were
conducted by the Rev. Dr. Stuart Robinson.
The Presbytery of Chesapeake has refused
to dissolve the pastoral relation between the
Rev. J. A. Lefevre and tbe Franklin Square
rreioyierian vuurca, caiumore, .Ma. Mr. La-
fevre, therefore, does not go to the Pine Street
Church. St. Louis.
The Presbyteries of the United Presbyterian
Church ae discussing the question, "Is Papal
baptism valid?" Some vote aye, some no, some
Loth ways, some are mum.
Two German schools of theology are no
sustained by the Presbyterim Church, one ia
Dubuque, Iowa, and one In Newark. N. J.
The Presbyterians In New Zealand have a
general assembly, a synod, eight oresbyterles,
seventy ministers, and two huudred aud thirty
'ecclesiastical buildings."
METHODIST.
As a proof of the growth of MethoiUm in
New Jersey, it may be stated that in 1870 there
was a membership of 58.833, while thirty year
before the number was 2 1,3 JO. Last year tuare
were 065 preachers and 4:i3 churches, the Utter
being valued at $3,113,745. There were ldl
parsonages, valued at 1 604,5) 50; an academy at
Pennington, valued at 1100,000; one in protest
of erection at Vineland, valued at 40,000; one
at Haekettstown, worth f75,0O0, and the Drew
Theological Seminary at Madison, belougln to
the Church at large, valued at 4500,000, includ
ing endowments.
Bishop Ames has appointed the Rev. L. M.
Vernon, of the St. Louis Conference, missionary
to Italy. He is to leave, we understand, early
this spring for tbe new field. It is probable
that the Rev. F. A. Spencer, of the Ohio Con
ference, formerly of India, will also be ap
pointed to tbe same mission.
Nineteen new churches have been bnllt the
past year in the Central Pennsylvania Confer
ence, at a cost of f 187,000.
The total cost of the Chinese Methodist
Episcopal Mission property on Washington
street, San Francisco, including furniture, is
(30,000. Rents from stores below and rooms
above now amount to tl40 per month.
In Sierra Leone, the Wesleyan Mission has
refused State aid.
The Newark Methodist Conference reports
that $ SI9.000 have been subscribed towards the
Centenary Collegiate Institute at Haekettstown,
New Jersey.
CONGREGATIONAL.
The Congregational church in Hannibal,
Mo., received fifty-three new members at the
last communion, all but nine on profession,
Many of these were men of prominent influence
in the city.
The Mount Vernon Church, Boston, h is
called the Rev. S. E. Merrick, of Chelsea, and it
ts generally expected that he will accept.
Tbe Park Street Church, New York,
nt their recent annual meeting, voted to
make the salary of the pastor, the Kev. Mr. Mur
ray, $7000 the coming year. They also passed
a vote requesting the choir to commence the
service on Sunday five minutes after the ap
pointed hour that Is, at twenty -five minutes of
eleven and at five minutes past three; and they
requested the ushers to show strangers to any
scats not then taken.
The Clinton Avenue Church, Brooklyn (Dr.
RudlDgton's), commemorate this jubilee year by
the payment of their church debt, $15,000, on a
late Sabbath.
REFORMED.
The Rev. Dr. E E. Hughes, Frofcssor in the
Theological Seminary at Mercersburg, Pa., has
notified the President of the Board of Visitors
of his purpose to resign his professorship in the
Institution.
The German Reformed Messenger says:
"The Presbyterian of last week, In Us column
of 'Church News' announces that the Rev.
Jacob Totka, of the Church Reformed Church,
has been received, in Minnesota, as a candidate
for orders in the Episcopal Church. Ihere must
be some mistake in the announcement, as such
a name has never been found on the roll of the
ministry of the Reformed Church in tbe United
States.''
The Rev. E. P. Ingersoll, pastor of the Mid
dle Reformed Church at Harrison and Court
6trects, Brooklyn, received into the communion
last Sabbath 113 persons 08 on profession of
faith.
BATTIST.
Fifteen Baptist clergymen of Brooklyn haye
given their names to the folio In resolution iu
reference to the acceptance of the "Baptist
Home gift":
"Resolved, That we, the undersigned Baptist
pastors of Brooklyn, pained and mortified by
this act of degeneracy, which is unscriptural,
and is in direct opposition to our antecedents
and to our strenuously avowed principles,
hereby cuter our fixed and solemn protest
against it."
The National Baptist thinks that the Baptists
of all places "should let their voices be dis
tinctly heard In this case, and should put their
judgment plainly on record."
The Trustees of the Arkansas Baptist Co
lony have obtained about 87,000 acres of land
on tbe Little Red river, and some sixty colonists
have already settled there. - Professor Fory, of
Chicago, writes that the "great objects contem
plated at the outeet the founding of a denomi--national
University and a Female College of
high order are ever kept steadily in view, and
all our plans are formed in constant and direct
reference to these great ends; and we are happy
to say that never before in oar colonial history
have we had such encouraging prospects of
success both fcr our educational and colonial
work."
ROMAN CATHOLIC.
The London Church Review is Informed
that there is a great probability that the sus
pended sittings of the Vatican Council may be
resumed at Antwerp iu the course of the ensuing
summer.

dained in the Church of tbe Paulist Fathers, at
Ninth avenue and Fifty-ninth street, Ne York,
