We quite believe that the English Church
Union is troublesome to the Bishop of London,
and we may venture to promise him that so
long as he adheres to his present course in
Church matters, it will continue to be trouble
some, and that increasingly. He may pretend
to despise it, but it will be an awkward sham,
and an affectauon which must damage his own
credit both as theolOgan and as man Of
intelligence and foresight. 1t would be more
sensible and far more true, to acknowledge that
its principles are dlametllcally opposed to his
own, and to proclaim against IT, so tar as those
principles are concerned, war without inter-
mission and without quarter. This Is what he
ship. We are sorry that it should be so; but,
undoubtedly, the Catholic faith and discipline
more precious than the alliance of the
Bishop of London and If the English Church
Union must make its choice between the two
it will be a choice that 1t has made long ago,
and 1t must bear the consequences as it may

As general rule, churches who observe a
distinct nationality do not proper. The French
Episcopal church in New York city, with
handful of worshippers, had valuable down
town property which was sold. The body moved
up TO TWenty-second street, near Fifth avenue,
and in an aTistocratic locality put up one of the
finest church edfces 10 New York. With su-
perb singing and other taking appointments,
The church dwindled till the name of public
worship became almost burlesque. The French
let out their fine house to Spanish Episcopal
church, and they are doing bat little better.
ON the 7tb Sunday after Trinity, in st.

"A charming exhibition of Christian unity was
witnessed in the chapel at Clifton spring, N. Y,
a few days since. The Rev. Mr. Rising, Episco-
paian, conducted the morning service, inviting
the Rev. Mr.. Goodman, Baptist clergyman, to
assist in the prehminaryexerclses. At the evening
service this Christian courtesy was reciprocatsd
by Mr. Goodman. Is Is needless to say that our
Episcopal brother has no High Church pro-
cliYites.
A silver bar was received about two months
since at the rooms OF the American Church Mis-
eionary Society in New York, from the st.
Johns Sunday School, Gold Hill, Nevada; and

gift from what was but little while ago, mis-
sionary station. A few days since 1t was sold
