RELIGIOUN CENTHICTICS AND THER INTLOINCE ON
Till CHUNCH.—The Bishop of Salisbury in his recent
charge speaks of the value of unthetics "in moving
those emotions which are among the lesser handmaids
of religiou :" in plain words, that the performance of
Divine service with theatrical effects promotes piety.
This startling statement is the theme of a lecture to be
delivered next Saturday evening, at the Townhall, at 6
o'clock, by the Rev. E. W. Pears, N.A. his of the highest
Importance that the tendency of such teaching by the
Bishop should be fully understood, and from the well.
known ability of Mr. Pears we have no doubt but that
he will show it clearly, powerfully, and in an interesting
manner. Protestants are invited to attend, and we
hope there will be a general response.

WORKING MIN'S ISOMDrilt.—A quarterly meeting
of this institution was held on W•doesday evening, the
President (Mr. G. B. Bawler)in the chair. The accounts
for the past quarter showed total reoeipts (including •
balance of LB lDc. 80. at previous audit) £l3 lls. 3d.,
and the balance now leftover the expenditure is 17s.
This reduction in the balance, we understand, has arisen
from two cause., viz., the customary fluctuation in the
number of members in the peat—the first of the summer
quarters, and a larger outlay than usual for the binding
of books for the library. The President distributed the
prises awarded to the stactxesful candidata' in the March
exa*inat ions in connection with the Southern Counties

themselves for examination, find it is gratifying to find
