piety ard religion throughout Europe have
been an attentive observer of this matter
wherever | have benin France, in Italy,
In Germany, in England, and elsewhere
Europe Is divided into two large sects OF
Observation-Disclosures and Catholic but IN
point OF piety and morality, am persuaded there
Is very little difference between them. There Is
more real religion in the United States; and TINS
arises from the fact that there every sect nave 10
support their own clergymen. But IN Europe,
the utmost indifference, if not something worse,
exists among the great mass OF the population
towards all religion. Both high and low, edu-
Gated and ignorant, exhibit this indifference,
almost amounting to unbelief Throughout the
continent-in Italy, France, Germany-both Ca
tholc and Protestant-the old churches are ex-
hibited at all hours, curiosities for hire; and
the very cergymen pocket the money thus col
lected from the travellers None seem to 90 to
church TO perform their devotons, except old
women, old men, and young children. The
kings, emperors, and other high official person
ages, OF both sexes, affect to be pious and attend
religious services but the great bulk of the edu-
Gated and intelligent just as Indifferent as the
same classes were in the old Roman world, in the
age Of Augustus. This leads many to suppose
that the present spirit and system of Christianity
have nearly expired, and that we are on the verge
of some new revelation that is required to set the
world afresh on its legs. There is sect of
Hebrews in Paris who say that the Messiah is
now positively coming.

organization equally efficient, and in spirit equally
firm and unyieldng, will soon give them the posses
