PROTESTANT PROGRESS. - Protestants
boast constantly that they are always equal
to the exirgencies of the times. According
to correspondent of the New York Inde
pendent, writing from Brunswick, Germany,
the land of Luther is far in the rear. Here
is the extract:
1t is fact worthy of mention, that,
though the city is much larger than for
merly, no new churches have been built
within the last three hundred years. We
must believe, therefore, that the fathers
built for their children, or that the children
have departed from the pious customs of
their fathers. The Inter is doubtless the
fact; for the Germans Of today lsy. are :, not

Dr. McGLYNN.-It would not he an easy
matter to supply the vacancy occasioned by
the death of DR.. Cummings, late of St.
Stephens, New York. According to the
following sketch, published by the New
York Sunday Nesos, it would appear that a
worthy successor has been found in DIR.
McGlynn.
The Church of St. Stephen, in East
Twenty-eighth street, is hardly less noted
for the superiority of its music-in which it
is acknowledged to excel any church in the
metropolis-than for the ability which, for
long time past, has distinguished it's pas
tors. DR.. Cummings, who died less chan
two years ago, was ono Of the ablest eccle-
siastics, of any denomination, in the United
States. His successor, though o very young
man, has already become widely known,
| both for his talents and the ability with
which he administers the affairs of St.
Stephen's-One of the largest and wealthiest
congregations on this continent. His an
pearance is somewhat youthful but his
face is . very pleasing one, indicating, rs it
does, much geniality and gentleness, along
and his features very regular, end char::c-
terlzed by an expl Q ssiOn of elevated and
| refined thought. His hair falls in graceful.

! Al suo SeatnOllC SnurCn, which USUALLY
exacts long probation from it's ministers,
nave SO soon risen to so important charge.
| The Rev. Edward McGlynn, DID,, is about
thirty Ono years of age, and native of
New York city. He attended, when boy,
the public schools of tho city, and graduated
from the Free Academy. Determining to
study for the priesthood, he went to the
College of tho Propaganda, at Rome. where
he graduated with honor, in 1860 Return
ing to the United States, he served, during
The war, as chaplain in ono of the army
hospitals for three years. In 1865, the late
i IT Cummings, who had been struck by
the evidences of ability and zeal that our
young priest had displayed, requested and
OBTAINED his appointment as his assistant
IN the care of ST. Stephens. DIR. McGlynn
occupied this position until the death of
Ut. Cummings, when he was appointed to
succeed him as pastor. AS speaker, DR..
McGiynn is not SO remarkable for oratorical
power as for the purity and beauty of his
language, and tho profuEd ity and logicai
force of his discourses. His style is t,stter
suited for lecturer, and as such he has
already shown himself admirable. He is
earnest and indefatigable in the duties of
hls ministry; and his accomplishments and
genial affability make him very popular
with all classes with whom he comes in
contact.

Sunday is in NO sense holy day. The
Church Discourage business labors, and
most of the public works are suspended !;
but private enterprises go forward, and for
q part of the day labors go on, and the
small shops are kept open. The people
throng the museums and gardens; the
shows of the Champs Elysees are vivacious,

Madame lie Fevre, the prayer-book."
She took the book, and pressing it to her
lips, she held it to her son, who cried out
with childish delight at the sight OF its
richly-gilt cover: "Oh, mamma, let me
have it,"
ayes, my boy, you shall have it; it will
be the only legacy can leave you. But
neyer-never will part with it. l thank
Heaven she has pardoncd me! She has
said it, and know she was truth itself"
The notary turned away his head.
Don't go, Madame lie Fevrc," said lie ,
must speak to you, by -and-by."
At that moment the boy, in playing with
the book, unclasped it, and cried out: =" Oh,
mamma, look ut the pretty pictures! But
| why are they all covered over with this
| nice thin papcrP ?"
1t is to Keep them from being soiled."

cling cry, and fell, fainting, into the arms OF
Monsieur Dubois, who said to those present
:" Let her alone, it is nothing: she will not
die this time. Give me that book, child
you may do mischief to it."
The two riclI legatees went away, COM
menting not very, chnri+shly M".iv's
swoon, and the evident interest the notary
! took in her.
About a month afterward they met Ma
dame LIE Fevre and her son, both well
| dressed, riding in q very pretty carriage
| with two horses. This unexpected sight
led them to make inquiry after her, and
they found that she had purchased n hand
some house, and was living in quiet but
very good style. Thunderstruck at this
ton the notary. They found him at his
desk
" Do we interrupt you 7" said the lady.

ing out an account of bank stock l have
just bought for Madame LIE Fcvre.''
And for Heavens sake, where does it
come from ~
"Why, don't you knowP'
No; how should 7"
Did not you see what was in the book

No"
"Wel, then, 1 must tell you that the
prayer book contained sixty engravings,
and each was covered by six bank notes of
fifty pounds cach!"
Good heavens !" cried the gentleman
"Oh! if had but known " said the lady,
on had each CHOICE" said the notary;
. and tried all 1 could to prevail upon you
both to take the prayer book, but in vainn

% 1t is easily explained it's owner had
suffered great distress in the emigration in
England she always lived in fear of being
obliged to fly second time, and as her
prayer-book was the only thing she had
not been robbed of in her first flight, she
concealed the handsome fortune of eighteen
thousand pounds in it, to prevent herself
being second time reduced to poverty"
The legatees skunk away in silent rage.
The good notary chuckled and rubbed his
lands.
