THE SHEFFIELD SAW GRINDERS AND THE RAT-
TENING PEOCESS.—A meeting of saw and jobbing grinders
was held at the Temperance-hall, on Tuesday, for the
purpose of finally adopting the rules for incorporating
the two branches of the trade into one union, and regu-
lating the management of the union. The meeting was
moderately well attended. The rules having beenadopted,
Mr. Joseph Hoyle, the secretary of the Jobbing Grinders
Union, was proposed as secretary of the amalgamated
society, but declined to accept the office. Mr. Woollen,
who has been the acting secretary of the Saw
Grinders Union for some months, was then
elected to the office. The rules, we understand,
as of course is to be expected, relate mainly to the in-
ternal management of the union, and appear to be quite
fair and unobjectionable as between member and member.
The only !mints in the rules in which the public can have
any interest are as follow The union is to be managed
by an executive committee, with president, secretary, and
treasurer. The leading objects of the society are declared
to be—L By supporting unemployed members to maintain
• uniform lies of prime ; 2, afford relief to sick members
t, make provision for the decent interment of deceased
members and members' wives. The contributions are to
be 2s. a man and ls. a boy per week. The scale for un-
employed is to be—Single man, Ba. ; married man,
7s. ; wife, 3s. ; apprentice, ; each child under 13
years, Is. Gd. per week. The union decline to recognise
apprentices taken by members without its approval.
Members are not entitled to take apprentices until they
(the members) reach the age of 28 years, and are then to
take as apprentices, only youths who are the eons of
members. The secretary is required to furnish to manu-
facturers wanting men a list of all the men on the box,
leaving manufactures to make their own choice from
the list. The rule which will be read with most interest,
and which was adopted last evening, is as follows:
" That the Society of Saw and Jobbing Grinders recom-
mend that any member found guilty of rattening or
committing any uutrsge of any description shall be at
once expelled from the society:"--Shebiefd /adept Went.

ANOTHER THREATENED ORANGE DEMONSTRATION
AT BRIYAnT.—We beard last week with great regret that
a most ill-advised movement had been begun, baring for
its object the getting up of another great Orange demon-
stration towards the end of this month in a district of the
county Down, where some aristocratic countenance and
enoouragemeut might be counted on. Yesterday we re-
ceived further information, and we are sorry to
say that there are grounds to believe that such
a demonstration is being mooted among the ultra-
Orangemen, as a deliberate and open defiance
of authority. Whether this disloyal demonstration be
under the guise of support to the church establishment,
or any other form, it is, at the present time, as unwise
a proceeding as could possibly be contemplated. Unless
the Oyak:emen are resolved to push matters to the
length of armed conflict with the military and police,
they will abstain from attempting what they know to be
a violation of the law of the land, and what the Lord-
Lieutenant told them plainly last week would not be
tolerated. There may he some who would not be
sorry to see the Orangemen et length in arms against
that " law and order" of which they claim to be the
only respecters, never asserting their loyalty more loudly
than when they are breaking the law. Most earnestly is
it to be hoped, however, that the idea of the threatened
demonstration may be given up. Should it take place,
and should anything disastrous be the remit, those who
are responsible for such flagrant and mischievous proceed-
ings will be held accountable to the full ; and, more parti-
cularly, those who by their position and influence ought to
set an example of obedience to the law will be most
severely dealt with if they encourage or participate in acts
committed in daring sad deliberate violation of the sta.
tutee.—Northeria Wkig.

CONGREGATIONAL UNION OP ENGLAND AND

WALES.

The various services in connection with the
thirty-siath autumnal meeting of the Congregational Union,
which is being held this year in Manchester, commenced on
Monday evening with a sermon, in Cavendish-street
Chapel, by the her. 1). Thomas, of EristoL On Tuesday
morning, the delegates assembled in conference, :a iiroe-
venor-stre'et ChapeL There was a large gathezing, the
ministers and lay delegates numbering from 400 to 501).

The 'Rev. Dr. Campbell addressed the assembly in a
speech of considerable length. There were present, he
said, as men oormnissioued to the assembly to promote
truth and piety in the world. The only true title to the
position they severally held, and their only power to
do good in it, was their life in Christ. Experience had
plentifully shown how some of the accompaniments of life
in Christ had been taken for the life itself. The homage
tit only to be rendered to the Lord had been yielded, in
Christ's name, to the traditions and customs of men. It
was possible to have truth in our creed, simplicity in our
worship, order in our polity, freedom in our administra-
tion, and prosperity in our schemes, and yet fail to
possess, in equal measure, that life in Christ which
could animate them all with power, and hallow them
all as divine. The common life of man presented a vast
diversity in respect of complexion, physical development,
mental capacity, and social habits ; yet through all
this diversity they could discern the one nature, and
its high powers. Under the moat unfavourable conditions,
sweet affection and lofty virtues found place and capers.
sion. The great Father who shed forth His generous gifts
upon Hia children was not forgetful of the happiness of
any one of them, and did not overlook the least fruit of
virtue, wherever found. They must conceive of the life
of Christ as existing in themselves and others, or they
would be setting up arbitrary standards and
tests of character ; be limiting the administration
of the 'di-seeing and right-judging God by the
shackles of conventional rules ; and be violating the
Christian law of love to the brethern, a law which in
Christ's teaching stood a more crucial test of life in
Christ than had ever been acknowledged is the experi-
ence and practice of the Christian church. As congre-
gationalista, they bad some notable features peculiar to
themselves. They stood in a relation of dissent, differing
from other forms of Christian profusion. They pro-
tested against the errors and corruption of the Romieh
church, and of churches kindred to it. They dissented
from some very marked characteristics of the reformed
church of England. They differed in essential doctrines
from some communities amongst them called Christians ;
and in secondary matters from others who, in their faith
and worship, were almost one with themselves. Their
peculiarities were in some measure the product of outward
causes and be must remind them that while their free-
dom of administration might be happy in working, their

traditions brightening in repute _..— nobleness, and their
place among Christian communities more than maintained,
these were of slight import beside faith, fortitude, know-
ledge, temperance, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness,
and charity. They would not bear comparison with the
fruits of the spirit—love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentle
Dein, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance. But he
might remind them that often in the history of man and
of Christ's church, the most excellent forms and outward
conditions of life had covered up decay and death. Martyr
churches had preserved their existence, their name, and
their creed after the fire of piety had died down into feeble
embers. Scriptural creeds were now daily repeated by
those who bad discarded them. If there was
one truth which might be called " the present truth,"
he regarded it as this—that piety toward God must
not be measured and determined, as it had too much
been, by the fragment of a creed, by some rite or form
of worship: by the day of a solemn feast, by the shade
of philosophical theory, which was to be acknowledged as
the one final interpreter of the mysteries of God; or by
any such partial and accidental signs ; but that piety to-
ward God is a Divine life, shaping itself into a common
human life, glowing with all human virtues towards God
and man—a life embodying itself in all practical goodness,
and maintaining, along with whatever other form of wor-
ship, a conscience void of offence toward God and toward
men. The truth for the individual Christian was also the
truth for the churches of Christ. Although worshippers of
God were not bound to summarise their worship into any
form of spoken prayer, yet every man who loved God, and
trusted in Him, must have communion with Him. As every
man must give an account of himself unto God, it became
him to serve Him in spirit, and to cultivate the life of
Christ. In carrying on the work of their Christian churches,
there was springing up an urgency for greater combina-
tion, which had regard to two objects—the internal
fellowship of the churches, and their efforts to propagate
the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Their rope of sand—the
similitude by which ecclesiastical critics described the
brittleness and disintegration of their fellowship, had
stood a wonderful amount of straining in these centuries
of stormy conflict. It had held their vessel to its moor-
ings; and by means of it they had weathered the gales
which drove others from their boasted anchorage, and for
the time shipwrecked them. In respect of unity and com-
bination, he did not see aught to envy in a distracted
popery, in an episcopacy binding opposites and anti-
pathies into contiguity, but' not welding them into cohe-
sion ; or in the well-compacted system of presbytery, which,
even in times quite modern, had divided itself into many
sects, and was at the present hour commendably seeking
to reunite its disjointed members. The chairman con-
cluded by expressing his earnest desire for the well-being
and well-doing of the congregational churches of England
and Wales.

The Rev. J. PARKER, D.D.,assured the Union of a cor-
dial welcome to the city a ancheamr.

The Rev. LLIWELLIN Biwa( (London) seconded the
proposition, which was unanimously adopted.
A committee of reference was appointed to consider
and arrange for the consideration of subjects not provided
for in the programme.
The Rev. JAMES GWYTHEH referred to a unanimous
invitation which had been received from the pastors,
deacons, and all the churches in Leeds to hold the next
autumnal meeting in that town. Upon his motion,
seconded by the Rev. Dr. Smith, it was resolved to ac-
cept the invitation. The Rev. E. Conder, of Leeds, ex-
premed the thanks of all concerned that their desires were
so cheerfully acceded to.
The Rev. J. STOUGHTON read a paper on congregational
reform, especially in reference to the oondition of our smaller
churches. lie pointed out at some length the inconve-
niences and evil arising from the origination of small in-
termite, particularly in rural districts. He said he was
satisfied that they ought in this respect to review their
principles and revise their practice. The rule should be
" one church in one town." This need not check the
necessary increase of places of worship, for one stern might
have many branches, as one fountain might have many
streams. He did not ask the assembly to legislate upon
the subject ; they must endeavour to raise a publics opinion
upon the subject, and try to show the mischiefs of useless
separation and the blessedness of union.
Mr. IL LEE (Manchester) read a paper upon the im-
provement of ministerial incomes. He pointed out the
great inadequacy of the incomes in numerous instances,
which he regarded se requiring a prompt and efficient
remedy.
. .

The. Her. H. Actert exwmered his general concurrence
with both the pipers. He said he thought the plan of
budding small places of worship was not a good one. He
proposed a vote of thanks to Mr. Stoughton fur his paper,
with a request that it might be printed.
The Rey. Dr. Rare, Wales, seconded the motion.
The Her. J. T. Hottrox made a similar motion with
to Mr. H. Lee's paper, which was seconded by Mr.
7.arHoaxes.

Mr. D. Purr suggested (and it excited some amuse-
ment) that some of the well-to-do ministers in the Urge
towns should occasionally mane an exchange with poor
ministers in small places..

Mr. MANTON (Ilinningham) said he was against any
disisiuragernent being given to existent small churches,
and be thought that they were not yet by any means
prepared to dispense with the pew system.
The Rev. J. G. Roosts (London) said he held it to be
essential that they should maintain their hold upon the
rural districts, sad that collections should be made
annually in all the larger churches in aid of the smaller
ones.

After some remarks upon the subject by the Rev. Mr.
WHITE and Mr. Semi.. MORLEY, it was resolved to appoint
a committee to consider how the suggestions in the two
papers could be best carried into effect, and to report to
the next annual assembly.
An adjournment took place at two o'clock to the Free-
trade Hall, where dinner was provided in the assembly-
room and supper-room, of which about 600 gentlemen
partook.
The annual public meeting cf the union was held in the
evening in the large room of the Free-trade Hall, which
wss densely crowded. After devotional exercises Mr. S.
MoaLET took the chair. He said they were not assembled
to laud their own system of church polity, but they were
desirous not to be misunderstood, The question was forc-
ing itself upon them as to what would be the charac-
teristics of the church of Christ in the future—whether
the churches would work through organisation] the result
of their own spiritual life, or through organisations pro-
moted and supported by the civil power. As congrega-
tionalists they were prepared to erect a standard of free
worship, which he believed would be the system of the fu-
ture. (Hear, hear.)
The Rev. Dr. VAUGHAH spoke upon English congress-
tionelism in its relation to the churches of the present
and the future. He said all dissenters were convinced
that ecclesiastical affairs in this country were fast

drifting to one of the must important crises in our history.
The Duke of Argyll was not the only statesman who be-
lieved that the church of the future must be a voluntary
church, self-organised, self-sustained, self-governed. The
time when this would come to pass might be nearer, and
the difficulties in the way might not be so great as bad
been supposed. Let the conviction as to the principle that
state churchism was an error be lodged in the public mind
widely enough and deep enough, let there be a prevailing
feeling that the change must come, and circumstances
that seemed to present the most formidable impedi-
ment would bow before that feeling as to a superior
law. (Hear, hear.) The present state of things had
been largely brought about by churchmen. The trac-
tarians, the broad churchmen, the rationalists had been
working in their several directions, and the Evangelical
party had looked on in amaze, spending the time
of little strifes among themselves. " A house divided
against itself cannot stand." (Applause.) Where could
