OF Protestants that they are united on all
essential particulars. nso, then their fends
dalous to see brethren compelled TO
keep the peace even In their churches, by
| the strong arm, Of the police A New York
correspondent of the Mobile Times informs
us that: .
Church rows seem to DO ON the increase
hereabouts. The last occurred last night
in the Church of the Redemption, in Four
teenth street, and had not the police been
on hand to preserve order, there would
probably have been q free fi9ht. For some
time past feud has existed between the
pastor, Rev. Mr.. Scott, and portion of the
congregation, and Last night it threatened
to come to a climax. The malcontents
don't want Mr. Scott in the church, and
they threatened to use force to prevent him
from preaching. He did preach, however,
under protection of the police, to the great
disgust and indignation of the parties OPP
posed to him. Hardly a month passes
in New York or Brooklyn, such scene as
would disgrace a cabal Of pothouse politi
clans. The police are often called in to
keep the brethren from flying ut one
another's throats, and she courts are in.
voked to put one party down or lift another
party up: 1t is queer sort of Christianity
that exhibits itself in fisticufs and bicker-
ings, but as it is for the most part strictly
"loyal," perhaps you or have no business
to say anything about it
Speaking of churches, I am again re-
minded of the progress the Catholics are
making in this city, and the rapid increase
in the number of Catholic churches. Only
the other day st. Johns Chapel, an old,
and at one time very fashionable edifice be-
longing to the Trinity corporation, was
purchased by Archbishop McCIoskey for
the Catholics, and several new Catholic
churches are either projected or being built.
The number of Catholics in New York is
estimated at half million, and they increase
at the rate of thirty thousand wear.
They are, in the aggregate, very poor, as
compared with the non-C Catholics, but thew
give an enormous amount of money to their
several churches during the year They
are now under obligation to raise 800, 600
year for the new Cathedral until il ia
finished, and besides this they are con-
tinually giving tens and twenties of thou
sands for other purposes. The enlargement
of st. Stephens, the most fashionable
Catholic Church in New York, cost over
eighty thousand dollars, and the congreea-
ton is now called ON for thirty thousand
more to build marble altar Other Catho-
lilo congregations are called on every wear
to raise many thousands for one purpose or
another, and though as have said, thew
are as class quite poor, the money is al
ways forthcoming when it is wanted. And
they never have a sauabble in church. or
call in the police to keep order while they
say their prayers.

FACTIONS IN THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
This highly respectable and conservative
ecclesiastical body, whfeh, up to late
period seems to have escaped the dissolving
and disintegrating effects of an aggressive
Protestant radicalism, is now in the throes
of discord, distraction, and schism. The
Church of England herself is mere COM
promise, and it's formularies are made to
bear opposite and most contradictory inter-
pretations. Some of our respected and
highly esteemed Episcopalian friends en-
deavor to explain away these differences,
and state that in all essentials there is o
perfect agreement, but the Protestant
Churchman, of New York, the organ of a
highly influential, but fanatical faction, as
serts that there are rital questions which
threaten the unity of their "Church," that
those churchmen who boast of the "blessed
calm and equipoise are mistaken. 1t says
The blessed CALM spoken of is but a
dream" the baseless fabric of a vision. .
There is q conflict in the Church, and it is
irrepressible. There is dOcfrisaL divergence
which it is impossible to conceal, radical
issue on which there can be no agreement
If there be an "equipoise," in any sense
whatever, it is by virtue of either the Jsupe-
rior numbers of the high Church party,
who in some dioceses have their own way
in matters doctrinal and ecclesiastical !; but
we question the statement that our Church
is in equiLibriO anywhere within the juris-
dlction of the General Convention.

HIGH CHURCH THEORY OF THE ANGLICAN
CHURCH.-The Rev. Mr.. LIE Geyt, the
Episcopal incumbent of st. Matthias, Stoke
Newington, has lately been lecturing at
Portsmouth on "The Church of England
What she is and what she is not.n Among
other things he states:
That the reformation, however, was a
very dangerous experiment, and was some
thing like surgical operation-a gigantic
rent-which left the patient in a very weak
and PROSTATE condition. The very fact
that it enabled men to beinfuenced in their
mode of worship by their own individual
feelings was the very cause of schisms
creeping into it, and the result was that
the Church of England began to assume
all forms of dissent. He seriously thought
that there were some people who went so
far as to think that there was no religion at
all previous to the Reformation, and re-
marked that he entertained serious doubts
as to whether there were not some in the
Ritual Commission who were of the opinion
that there was no religion in the world be-
fore the Reformation. The lecturer defend ed
the doctrine of regeneration in baptism.
Having also expressed his views at some
length upon the actual presence of Christ
in the Observance of the Holy Communion,
he proceeded to defend the power claimed
BY The priests Of the Church Catholic for
the absOlution Of SINS"

PROGRESS OF EyANGELIsM.-Tbe Rev.
Albert Barnes-known for his " Commenta-
rles on the Bible made the following
statement i'll an appeal for funds to cir
culate tracts:
Statistics SHOW that the Orthodox
Churches in the United States have noa
made an average net gain of one member
and half for the last eight years.
This is not calculated to make the usual
sensation at the May anniversaries. Some
thing spicy must be invented.
