cMcKAsAw MISSION.
A letter from Mr.. Stuart to the Cores
nnnd;nr Secretary, dated Monroe, July nth,
rnn6rms the pleasing intelligence which we
have already published, respecting this Mis-
sion. We regret to learn that Mr.. Stuarts
health is feeble. 1t is the opinion Of his Ply
stefan that he is laboring under an affection
on the liver, and that the scdentary life which
he is compelled to lead from his cOnnexion
with the school, is unfavOrable to his recOVe-
nv. He urgently requests that teacher may
be procured land sent on rs soon as possible,
to relieve him from that part Of his labours.
The duties which devolve on him are suifi-
GENTLY arduous without the school; and
could suitable person be obtained, we have
no doubt that the Board would cheerfnlly
meet the expense. The prospects OF the
station are more encouraging than ever, and
the efforts of its friends ought not certainly
to relax now. We should be pleased to hear
of any individual, of suitable qualifications,
who would be willing to join the mission, IN
the capacity of a teacher. Any information
forwarded to us will receive prompt atten-
Characterization Obs.
q Ia the same letter, Mr.. Stuart represents
the want of meeting house at that station to
be very urgent; and proposes to attempt the
erection of one, next fall or winter. With
what help he expects from their neighbours,
he estimates the expenses at $500 or $3.50 ;
for which he sOlicits money and materials
from the friends of the cause in Charleston.
POPIsH HOSTILITY TO THE BIBLE.
From the Gazette de Lausanne, Of the 18th Of March
OK 1897
can Episcopal Letter, dated from Ofens-
bourgh, has inst been addressed by the Rom
ish) Bishop of Basic to the clergy Of his dio-
cese, in which the Bishop expresses the deep
grief he feels,son learning that the transla-
tons of the New Testament are distributed
to the faithful, THAT is,to the Romish church,
and that another book, still more dangerous,
entitled Heures Edi6antes, "a book of devo-
ton we presume, in which no alteration is paid
to pretended saints) is circulating without Op-
position.
"Translations of the Bible being expressly
prohibited by the Holy See, and the He"res
Edifantes concealiDg dangerous poison un-
der specious exterior, the Bishop has deem
ed it his duty to repress by eficacious meas
ures, propagation of both these works; THE
DETEsTAILE DESIGN OF WHICH IS to trans
form submissive people, who were distinguish
ed by their faith and obedience to the Holy
See, INTO AN AssEMBLAGE (ramas) Of BIBLE
CHRISTIANS, having no other guide and coun'
sellor than their conscience and THE SCRIP.
TURE, called Holy. ......s
Under these unfortunate circumstances
the Bishop of Basic calls for the cooperation
of the clergy of his diocese in order to save
the flock entrusted to him; and he particular
4 ly recommends them, prudently and discreet
ly, to employ every possible means, either
to obtainsthe surrender and DESTRUCTION OIL
THE ABOVE MENTIONED ROCKS, or to proven
the faithful from reading any thing but VIVA
the Holy See has expressly approved"
In the evening,I stepped into st. Sepul
chre's Snow-hill DIR. Rudge, preacher o
some note in the metropolis, is evening lectur
err here; and we had j Sermon from him il
behalf of parochial charity, by which fifty
% one poor boys of the parish are supported s
educated. He took occasion to remark, tina
his official situation, las chaplin to Newgate
often led him to hear the confession of male
factors, under sentence of death and that ir
almost every instance, they ascribed their ru
in to their desertion of the house of God, 6
violation Of the day of rest.-Eng. Mag.
