in a letter to the. Times, says the pub
lic-need be under little apprehensions
as to the importation 'of the Eussian
epidemic into England. The more
formidable ofjthe two diseases com-*

London to an extent rarely, if evjer

—Wo find,'in a Presbytorian paper;
an essay entitled “Train .Reconciled,”
in which tho doclrnrres of the great
schools lof Protestant Christianity,
Calvahistic and Artniniari, are stated
a! concise form. Without entering
into the arguments pro. and con., wo
simply give -the doctrines as we find
thorn: The writer says as tried by
the original teachings, it is a very re
markable and a very hopeful tact,that
there is ,no prominent' evangelical
Church which bolds exclusively the
doctrine pf Calvin or Arminius. , Tho
Westminster Assembiyadopted essen
tially the Canons.-pf the Synod of
Dort i (1618.) Those Canons are in
five chapters and relate to five.poip.ts;.
first;' particular and' unconditional
election; second, .particular redomp--
tion,; or tho limitation of the saving
effects of Christ’® death to the elect
only; third, total depfavity and' total
moral inability of man as a fallen
creature; fourth, the irresistibility of
divine grace; fifth; the final persover
encej ortho saints. The followers of
Arminius deny these teachings in
whole or in part; as drawn in the fol
lowing formula of belief: First, Elec
tion consists simply, in the foreknow!*
odgo.of God, and is not absolnte and
unconditional. Second, Christ died
for ail men,and His atonement is suffi
cient for all rpen. Thiid, Every in
dividual is - invited to partake of His
grace. Fourth, Divine grace is offer
ed to make the wjill comply with the
invitation, of mercy,- but this grace
may :bo resisted and rendered ineffeot-.
,ual by the sinner’s perversity. Fifth,
Saints may fall from the state of grace
in which they are placed by the Oper
ations of the Holy^Bpirit.
\ —lt'seems incredible that Ration
alism exists to. such an extent as it
does p,this country, and yet we find
in an able religions journal the fact
. established that a minister of a Con
gregational Church in one of the cit
ies ’of Jfow Hampshire, recently in
veighed 5 against ‘.‘water baptism” os
ho called it, declaiing: that-it was not
properly a Christian ,ordinance, but a
relic bf Judaism and other symbolic
faiths. In;the same sermon, ho spoke
against the custom oL “saying grace”
at the. table . And ft is affirmed! he
proabhod a.:discourse highly eulogis
tic of Tom Paine on-the last anniver
sary birtb-dayof that infidel.

the following: Last Sunday, the Rev.

Avenue, ,by .invitation of the Rector,

—Colenso is stilla Bishop. When
he promulgated his infidel sentiments,
the Bishop of Capetown, South Afri
ca, assuming to be his Metropolitan,
had him arraigned and tried for here
sy, of which he was found guilty,and
for which he was deposed. Cdlensp
appealed to Queen. Victoria, as the;
head of the Church of England, and
the Privy Council" have, decided that
the sentence was null and-void, and
that. Colenso is stiff a : Bishop. 1
—-The avowal of the late Unitarian
Convention that wp have .“no Media

,the evangelical denominations of this
country. Ev„en secular papers speak
of those avowals as mere jsold-blooded
and disgusting than the ravings of pro
fessed infidelity. r ’
loves.
