Tau Lars Raw. Joan Ktar.g.—A I tter hi. appeared I
in the Guardian from Mr. Thomas Kahle, brother of
the late Rev. John Kehl., declaring that a report that
X. Roble bad shortly before his death sent for Dr.
Manning or Dr. Newman, in order to be received into
the Roman Church, is utterly without foundation. The
writer bad the best means of knowing this, having been
(pendently with his brother during the %bole of his last
Moore and for many weeks previously.

BROTHZIL lONATII3S.—Tbe Rev. Mr. Lynn, who is !
now attached lathe staff of elergy at Bt. Bartholomew, !
Cripplegate, haa been preaching encores of lectures to
! busbieas men at one o'clock on Fridays in Lent. at St.
! Edmund's, Lombard-street, London. The reverend
!gentleman wears his surplice and hood in the pulpit,
, but no stole. The building has each time beep orammeff
I with city gentl.inen, amoupt whom many of the lead-
ing bankers and uterohant. have been observed. Very
few ladies have attended. The crowd, in fact, has
much time extended across the roadway and to the
entrance of the Royal Insurance Company's offices. A
eonespondent says: "Mr. Lyne's discourses are purely
practical, an, the High Church element has been in no
way visible In him remarka. His energy in the pulpit
seemed to electrify his audience, dozens of whom stood
the whole of the Litany preceding the sermon, as well
as during the sermon itself. Preparation for death.
the too groat attachment to this world, and the need of
personal repentanos, formed the main subjects of his
where', which have been delivered without a note of
any sort. Oceasaionalli he was very plain, observing
(in one of his discourage) that • Liberation Societies'
being so much in fashion now-a-daya he wished that
men would seek more after liberation societies for
their souls.'"
