The Advance, sees nothing in the way of
having the official Fast Days peculiar to
the New England states coincide with
Good Friday:
"A correspondent at the East, who is
winely known both East and West, sug
gests tint those states which, observing
still the good old New England custom,
appoint about this season of the year a
Fast Day, should agree upon the appoint
ment of the day coincident in time with
'Good Friday,' thus securing the largest
possible unanimity in its observance by
Christians of all denominations. The
suggestion seems to us a good one. Thus,
Governoi Coring of Massachusetts desig
nates this year April!) as the special oc
casion for fasting, humiliation and
prayer, on the part of the good people of
that commonwealth. But why not have
named March 2(5 instead? While there
arc points enough in respect to which we
differ, radically, from our ltoman Catholic
brethren and from high church Episto
palians, yet we are glad of occasions which
may bring into prominence the points of
vital moment, wherin we are all agreed.
Moreover, as we now happily have a yearly
thanksgiving Feast Da}', designated in
unsion by the national and all the state
governments, what could he more befit
ting than that we should have each year
in the spring, a corresponding devout
Fast Day?"
The Religious Herald conies to the con
clusion that the desire for shorter and
shorter sermons indicates t hat (1) the
ministry is retrograding intellectually
and spiritually; or that (2) the people arc
advancing intellectually and spiritually
faster than the preachers; or that (;5) the
people are unwilling to thinkconseci tive
ly and closely; or that (4) the minds of to
day cannot or will not grasp as much truth
as in former times; ortliut (5) the hearts
of the people are not as desirous of hear
ing the truth as in former years; or, that
(() the Holy Scripture is losing its grip up
on people's hearts; or that (7) the minds
and hearts of the people are taken up
with frivilous things more than formerly;
or that (8) business interests demand
more attention, and encroach upon our
opportunities for mental and spiritual cul
ture: or that (!)) the mental and spiritual
m in shuts, hitns df up and refuses to have
intercourse with the great world o[
thought beyoi d; or that (10) the masses
of the people arc satisfied with mere sur
face preaching and teaching, and are un
willing to go down to the hard pan for a
foundation of their faith; or that (II) the
people love to be tickled, and that preach
ing does not tickle enough.
At the session of the New York Confer
ence in that city, Bishop Wiley made an
earnest, address to the fourteen candidates
for admission to full connection as preach
ers :
•■lt is an important moment in your
lives," said the Bishop, in part, "stand
ing as you do before the bar of the Con
ference to consecrate yourselves and your
lives' to the Chri iin Ministry. Women
receive you in a peculiar way, and as pe
culiar characters, they are free with you,
more free with you than with men of any
other calling. But not as a man do they
receive you, but as being eloathed with
Christ. I say, if there be a hotter place
in the world below, it is reserved for that
preacher, who, under the guise of hi,-
ministerial office of a divine and man ol
God enters a household and becomes a
wrong-doer and a betrayer. I. repeat it;
lie will suffer damnation in this world,
and a wors damnation in the world to
come." [Loud applause throughout the

" THE LEADING AMERICAN NEWS
PAPER."
THE NEW YORK
TRI BUNE
FOR 1880.
During the coming Presidential yenr The Tribune
will be a more effective agency than ever for telling
the news best worth knowing, and for enforcing
sound politics. From the day the war Closed it has
j been most anxious for an end of sectional strife.
I Hut it saw tw o years ago, and was the first per. Ist
| eptly to Proclaim the new danger to the country
I from the revived alliance of the Solid South and
I Tammany Hall. Against that danger it sought to
I rally the old party of Freedom and the Union 1.
, began by demanding the abandonment of persona.
IxiiMt-k „ .u.l . M, lt , Uaibd far an end
and for the heartiest agreement upon whatevrc fit
candidates the majority should put up against tho
common foe. Since then the tide of disaster has
been turned back; every doubtful state has been
won, and the omens for National victory were never
more cheering;.
THE TRIBUNE'S POSITION.
Of The Tribune's share in all this, those speak
most enthusiastically who have seen most of UMI
struggle, it will iaithfully portray the varning
phases of the campaign now beginning. It wilt
earnestly strive that the party of Freedom, Union
and Public Faith may select the man surest to win,
and surest to make a good President. But in this
crisis it can conceive of no nomination this party
could make that would not be preferable to the best
that could possibly be supported by the Solid South
and Tammany Hall.
The Tribune is now spending much labo and
mosey than ever before to hold the distinction it lust
enjoyed of the largest circulation among the best
ptopje. It secured, and means to retain it. by be
coming the medium of the best thought and the
voice of the best conscience of the time, by keeping
abreast of the highest progress, favoring the freees
discussions, hearing all sides, appealing always t®
the best intelligence and the purest morality, and. re
fusing to carter to the tastes of the vile or the preja
dices of the ignorant.
SPECIAL FEATURES.
The distinctive features of The Tribune are known
to everybody. It gives all the news. It has tho
best correspondents, and retains them from year to
year, It is the only paper that maintains a special
telegraphic wire of its own between its office and
Washington. Its scientific, literary, artistic and re
ligious intelligence is the fullest, its book reviews
are the best. Its commercial and financial ne*vs is
the most exact Its type is the largest; and lis ar
rangement the most systematic.
THE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIRUN
is by far tho most successful Semi-Weekly in ths
country, having four times the circulation of any
other in New York. It is especially adapted to the
large class of intelligent, professional or business
readers too far from New York to depend on our
papers for the daily news, who nevertheless want
tiie editorials, correspondence, book reviews, scien
tific matter, lectures, literary miscellaney, etc,, for
which The Tribune is famous. Like The Weekly
it contains sixteen pages, and is in convenient form
for binding,
THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE
remains the great favorite of our substantia! country
population, and has the largest circulation of any
Weekly issued from tiie office of a Daily paper in
New York, or, so far as we know, in the United
States, it revises and condenses all the news of ( he
week into more readable shape. Its agricultural do
partment is more carefully conducted than ever, and
it has always been considered the best, its market
reports are the official standard for the Dairymen's
Association, and have long been recognized author
ity. 011 cattle, grain and general country produce.
There are special departments for tiie young and for '
household interests; the new handiwork department
already extremely popular, gives unusually accurate
and comprehensive instructions in knitting, crochet
ing, and kindrid subjects; while poetry, fiction and
tiie humors of the day are all abundantly supplied.
Tiie verdict of the tens of thousand old readers who
have returned to it during the past year is that they
find it better than ever. Increasing patronage and
faeilitias enable us to reduce tiie rates to the lowest
point we have ever toueiied, and to otier the
amazing premiums yet given, as follows:
