4 New Religious Movement,

A singular religious movement was be
gun in England few weeks ago. 1t is
proposed to unite the members Of the Eng
glish, Roman Catholic and Greek churches
in friendly communion, and the public
Journals report that three hundred church
Is in England have asscnted to tie ineas~
ure. From statement made by Rev f.
G. Hall, formerly Of St Edmund Hall, Ok
ford, we gather the following indications
Of the character and purpose of the move
ment:
AN institution has been formed under
the title Of The Association for the Pro
motion Of the Unity of Christendom, to
unite in a bond of interccssary prayer
members both Of the clergy and Iaity Of
the Roman Catholic, Greek and Anglican
communions. To ALL it is said, who.
while they lament the divisions amongst
the Christians, look forward for their heal
inG mainly to a corporate reunion of those
three great bodies which claim for them
sci. es the Inheritance Of the priesthood
and the name of Catholic, an appeal Is
made, They are not asked to compromise
any principles which they, rightly or
wrongly, hold dear they are simply asked
to unite for the promotion Of high and
holy end. ."
The names of members are to be kept
strictly private, and che only obligation
imposed upon those who join the Associa
ton is the daily use of short form OF
prayer, to which is added, in the case o.
priests, the Offering, at least once in three
months Of the Holy Sacrifice.

Geology of the Jordan Valley.

The absence Of volcanic traces was in
and the evidence of our minds
conclusive that only the Jordan, or that
ancient tongue Of Red Sea which it re-
presents, could have formed the Ghor and
especially the strange gravel hills around
Us, and that the Ghor is chiefly a fissure
Of erosion, accelerated, perhaps, by the
agency Of depression during the volcanic
period of the Ledjah at the end of the
tertiary epoch. These huge hiIIocks that
fringe the plain are all composed of con-
glomerate, quite unlike the sedimentary
remains lower down, and are very soft,
with Iand shells ntermingled Of criSting
species The plain Is generally coy cred
with coating of mud mingled with the
existing fresh water shells of the Jordan
and its tributary streams. But in the
case of the genus melanopsis, especially
there are three species common. viz .
u prefosa, u costata, u and .Saulcyi
OF these the former abounds everywhere
in the Ghor; the second has been found
III q IT III Sittc ottiN III bt4t tptA waters -
the Jordan and lake of Galilee; and the
third only near Ain Sultan. Almost all
the semi-fossil shells in the Jordan plain
are Of the second species, and we could
not discover any of the third This seems
to point strongly to the suPposition that
all this mud has been brought down and
repeatedly overfowed from the uper wat
ers, unless the distribution Of the species
has become changed At any rate, the
the general inference appears issesistibls
that, within Il comparative recent geo
logical period, the whole ower valley ba.
been exposed to fresh water flooding from
the upper Jordan, and that the grea
mounds and hillocks which stud the side;
Of the valley under the Hill are the result
I Of sudden freshets and torrents from the
waters to the west which have brough
down enormous masses Of soil, in whiel
the shells that lived on its surface hay,
