"A public meeting of the Suffolk Con-
ference of Unitarian and other Churches was
held at the Hollis Street Church in Boston
this week, the object of which was to devisa
means for directing the younger members of
the Church to a suitable Christian work.
Rev. James freeman Clark offered some re-
marks In the course of which he said that to
arrange and methodize work for members to
do was one OF The objects for which the Chris
tian Church exists. The church is school
and Christians are scholars, united to learn
Christianity under the great teacher, Christ,
and Its members should be taught to learn
systematically and unite in doing this work.
Every church should have Its department of
Christian work, in which it should provide for
all its members, especially the young. Tho
tone and temper of the church would be vast
ly improved by such a course Christianitv
was an art as well as a science: IL msant
something to be done as well as something 70
be believed 1t cannot be explained and taught
unless 1t Is practised, and the church should be
aschool for practise as well as instruction in
ideas and principles. Young people will 60 to
those churches where they find something
provided for them to do, as well as to hear, and
and in this they show their wisdom, for they
have good authority for preferring church
which talks about dogma but practices good
ness to that which processes to believe in good
works but never does them.

-Ihe Episeopalian states that an informal
meeting OF evangelical clergymen was held
TINS week in New York for the purpose of
taking into consideration the propriety of
memoriahzing Congress, with reference to the
reported exclusion of Protestant places of
worship from Rome, by order of the Pope.
After full and free interchange of opinion, It
was deemed advisable to await fuller details OF
the proceedings by mail than have yetreaohed
us by the ocean telegraph, so tnat the menu
orialists might not be accused oil nasty action
in the premises. There was no oVisison OF
sant;ment whatsoever as to the duty OF this
Covornmont. to insist upon the same measure

,ans IN Rome as the Pope's spiritual and
oolitical subjects are permitted to enjoy
