TIiE ADMoNITIoN TO REV. s. II. TYING, JR.
The Protestant ChuTcnnldn, organ OF the evangeIi-
cal party in the Episcopal Church in this city and
vicinity makes the following declaration of senti-
ment and purpose:-
The question is everywhere asked, with the deep
est interest, what do those who feel themselves ag-
grieved by this sentence and admontion intend TO
dor As OF the organs Of that class OF persons In
the community, we propose to answer this In
quiry. No one who Is at all familiar with the
evangelical school will suppose that II is, In
any sense, unprepared for or intimidated by this
result The stand which 1t has taken has been
taken deliberately conscientiously and prayer
fully, and that stand will, at all hazards, be main
tanned. Humated as we are with shame at the
attitude In which our church Is now CON-
PEELED for the time to stand, we coun-
Sci consistent agitation Of the subject with
view TO relief at the next general convention.
In this crisis we should be calm, but flrm, and our
words those of discretion and charity. With abiding
and unalterabie faith In the rectude OF our prlnc
pies we are confident even now, yes, more confident
than ever, Of their triumph. The conflict is to be
waged in the ecclesiastical body with which we are
connected. There Is to be no secession, but we
claim It as right, in dutful submission to author
ity, when 1t does not contravene imperative de-
mands OF conscience to be and to act as the liberal
branch Of the Protestant Episcopal Church.

A Preaching NObleman.

Lord Radstock is preaching in Paris and making
an impression in some circles. Besides his evening
dsc0urses in the American and the Wesleyan
chapels he has been addressing fashionable
bly, once week in the elegant drawing groom OF Lady
Cowper where seventy eighty people meet to hear
him. At the close he invites those VINO wish to have
religious conversation to remain for that purpose,
when he gives them personal instruction In the way
OF life. This remarkable young English nobleman Is
the grandson of the Hon. Admiral Waldegrave,
who was raised to the peerage OF England
In $500, though he was then q scion OF
still older family Of the nobility. Lord Rad.

OF age, and having become deeply Interested In re-
lgious things he has been identified with the Ply
mouth brethren. a people who do not recognize THE
need OF any ordained minstry-eyery Christian, In
their view, being called to preach according to his
the graces Of an earnest, spiritual, devoted Chris
tian. Had he been born In humble life he might
have become first rate preacher As Is, In spite
OF the disadvantages OF high birth and culture he Is
an interesting speaker, and the deep sincerity OF
his heart and manner carries his audience with him.
In many parts Of England he has enjoyed great reyi
walls of religion, with multitudes OF conversions, ana
his labors sought widely. But he prefers TO
work In neglected localities, and mainly among
the poor and ignorant On the continent he has
travelled extensively; and he loves 10 gatler the
