THE HISTORIAN BISHOP, MAR YoHANNAs.

THE HISTORIAN BISHOP, MARYoHANNAs.
Our readers doubtless recollect what a
sensation the HISTORIAN Bishop, Mar Yohan-
nan, has excited, since he has been Ionizing
through the country. We notice that the
last N. Y Churchman, strong Episcopalian
paper, is out against the Bishop, in nc very
moderate terms. The writer of the article
hints that Mar Yohannan ought to be excom-
municated, because he has fellowship with
other denominations; she has been known to
pray with these American Dissenters, and as
it is contrary to canonical law, TO do this pub
Iicly with Hereties, this one thing is enough
to depose the Bishop" We see, however,
that these views do not meet the approba
ton of many Episcopalians. and they are
sorry that The thing should be agitated. The
Churchman also complains because a Mes
torian Chapel was lent to the Congregation
aIists for the ordination of an American Mis-
sionary. One of our friends happened to be
with Mar Yohannan. when he was reading
the article about himself The Bishop he
says. was very good-natured, and smilingly
pitied the illiberal spirit of the writer, being
quite amused also at the idea of the Amer
leans deposing him from his church.-BuHe.
