EPISCOPAL BISHOPS ON THE PRAYER
Book. Bishop Bedell has published
letters from six bishops of the Protes-
tant Episcopal Church on the subject
of ritualism and change in the prayer
book, suggested by Bishop McIlvaine's
recent letter to the Standard of the
Cross. Bishop Henry W. Lee, of Iowa
says that " from the first the ritualistic
innovations have filed him with pain
and apprehension, and he has done
what he could for their discourage
ment and prevention. He believes
that they have a most erroneous ten
dency, and that they have done I'M
speakable injury to our beloved church
and that the real teaching of the Pray
er Book, as we'll as its whole history, is
against them" He thinks, however
that the present season of strife and
controversy is poor time for calm
and wise and deliberate revision of
such book as that OF Common Prayer.
Bishop Albert Lee, of Delaware, hearth
ly concurs in Bishop McIlvaine's low
church sentiments and advocates as q
question of expediency an alteration of
the Prayer Book, allowing the liberty
Of using alternate forms. He thinks
the discussion on these subjects has
been harsh, captions and unfair. Bish-
op Manton Eastburn OF Massachusetts,.
is still more cordial in expressing his
sympathy with Bishop McIlvaine. He
also thinks the time unpropitious for a
change of the Prayer Book. Bishop
Thomas Fl. Wall, of Kansas, thinks
there need beno explanatory revisal of
the Ritual of Liturgy.

THE YANKEES AND THE BEAR.-Two
Yankees, strolling in the woods, with
out any arms in their possession,
observed bear climbing a tree, with
its paws clasped around the trunk.
One of them ran forward and caught
the hears paws one in each hand He
then called out to his comrade, "Jona-
than, run home and bring me some
thing to kill this varmint and mind
you don't stay, or I'm in fix"
Jonathan ran off, but staid long
time. During the interval, the bear
made several desperate attempts to
bite the hand of him who held it. At
length Jonathan came back.
Hullo, what kept you so long ?"
"Well, I'll tell you. When [ got
home breakfast was ready so 1 staid
to eat it. y
Well" said his comrade, "come
now, hold the critter till [ kill it.
Jonathan seized the bears paws, and
held the animal.
"Well, have you hold Of him %

FREE SEATS IN CHURCHES. The Tt

FREE SEATS IN CHURCHES. The Tri-
bune discussing this subject says:
We do not very deeply sympathize
with the clamor for free seats in church
es. The assumption that the people of
this city stay away from public reli-
gious services because they are exclud-
ed by the pew system, is not true.
Tere are not only free seats but free
churches of almost every denomination;
and strangers are generally welcomed
in most if not all churches.
X X
In our Judgment, those who want to
go to church do SO now; and those who
stay away do so because they can spend
the time elsewhere to their own greater
satisfaction.
