The sinking Of the Island of Tortois,
one Of the West Indies. whereby ten
thousand human lives and every living
thing was destroyed, is one Of those dis
asters We are seldom called upoS to

a magnificent harbors completely land

hundreds of ships Whether the sub
merging alluded to was caused BY
subsidence of the Island itself, owing
to some volcanic conVulsion, or was
caused by the late tremendous hurri-
cane which has prevailed in that quar-
ter, and which was so. destructive at
st. Thomas, we are not informed. =
Probably the latter, however, as the
Island has been known since 1893, in
which year it was discovered by Colum-

character.

Our CIsrgy and the Nation.

The Rev. Samuel Osgood, n. d,
communicates an article to the New
York Citizen under this title, from
which we take the following extract:
I'm reviewing the intellectual history
of our clergy for nearly century, We
note one very marked change in them
selves and their relation to the people.
The popular preachers were once men
of positive precedent who went for the
letter of the book or creed, and who
had little regard for the free and what
seemed to them daring spirit Of the
age. They were afraid ofreason, and
not oYerfond of the authority Of con-
science, as compared with the authors-
tive letter. No preacher was very pop
ular except such as rested on the old
fashioned standards. Things have
now considerably changed, and all our
most marked preachers have much of
the spirit of the nineteenth century,
and appeal freely to reason, Conscience
and the human breast, and do not
think that all light and life are shut
up in the old records and creeds, The
old FIRE and birthstone orators are not
extinct; but they are not thought much
Of except by limited assemblies OF tee
bic men and timid women; whilst the
leaders of religious opinion who have
the love Of the nation, have lsrg'
measure of the free thought and gen
erous progress that are 50 characters
tic of the best minds Of our time
Elder Knapp holds forth upon his pei
topics, the wrath Of God and the hor
rors of his material he'll, to small IS
semblies, and with no reporters to re
cord his words; whilst the movement
men of all churches have the eye and
ear of the people, and the nineteenth
century is Voicing itself in their pul
pits as well as through the press.
