DR.. Cookies Dream.

A friend has kindly sent us a recent number
of the Belfast Neps letter containing long
and most interesting sketch of Rev. DR.. Henry
Cooke, whose death was mentioned last week
We have room at present for only short ex-
tract concerning singular dream DIR. Z. had,
during the time in which he was SO noby occu-
pied in defending the truth and purging the
Presbyterian Church of Ireland from the malady
of Arianism The dream was this:
at appears that during the day he had
spent many hours in investigating the argu-
ments bearing on the Arian question, and that
after he had retired to rest, the mind wandered
on through the same engrossing theme; for it
is we'll known fact how the thoughts and oc-
equations of the day give a tinge to the color
of our dreams. He thought in his sleep that
the devil stood before him in visible shape,
and challenged him to discussion; and as
Cooke was never known to turn his back upon
an enemy, the challenge was accepted at once.
The subject of debate was the Arian question.
As we would expect from what is known OF
both of them. the devil took the Arian side,
and Cooke was orthodox even in his dreams.
The controversy was long and tough, and well
we'll contested. At length, the devll, weary
of the strife Of words, and, as it we're, sum-
moning up all his strength for the last effort,
ended thus:-"I have more experience than
you: | have seen what you have never seen:
| have been in heaven-you were never there
and | tell you, from my own knowledge, that
Christ is not equal with God! You are a
Hnr, said Cooke. and the ftther Of Ees-you
are that no,o, and you ,oere That from the be-
ginning This closed the discusslon for the
sleeper pronounced these words with such en-
ergy that he awoke, and the devil thought it
better not TO wait for any more.

Catholicism, it tried to absorb all others
Hence it often united Sintoo Miya to Budd-
hist temple Whenever this was the case, the
Mikado has abolished Buddhism in this form.
Pure Buddhism resembles Catholicism in many
priests, rosary, wax candles,
artificial flowers. &c. The Sintoo is now reviv
ing. but Buddhism, being less spiritual, is
still the most prevalent. Then there is Con-
fuciaoism. brought in with Chinese language
and literature But it is more system Of
morals than a religion. 1t never looks to
Heaven. but only regards the present lite. At
Sintoo Miya we saw the worshippers clapping
their hands or ringing bell to call the attention
of their gods before muttering their prayers.
1t was a sight to melt the heart Of Christian,
Gods, who had to be aroused like Baal on
Carmel"

The Act of the Legislature in Regard
to Church Property in Virginia. "A friend,
we'll versed in legal affairs suggests that we
republ.sh, for the information of our church
es, this act.
The Synod of Virginia in session at Charles
town, West Va, in Nov. 1867, recommended
to all its churches to avail themselves Of the
act, and decide to what branch of the church
they belong, and record their decision with the
Circuit Court, within whose jurisdiction the
congregation is located 1t is entitled an act
to amend chapter II of the code of Virginia,
and was passed February 18th, 1867.
80 The circuit court of the county or cor
poration wherein there may be any parcel Of
such land or the greater part thereof, may on
application of the proper authorities of such
congregation, from time to time appoint truss
tees either where there were none, or in
place Of former trustees, and change those so
appointed whenever it may seem to the court
proper, to effect or promote the purpose of
the conveyance. devise or dedication. And the
legal title to such land for that purpose shall be
vested i'm the said trustees, for the time being,
have occurred in some churches or religious
societies to which such religious congregations
have been attached. and such divisions may
hereafter occur it shall in any such case be
lawful for the communicates and pew holders
and pew owners over 81 years of age, by a vote
Of the whole number as soon as practicable
after the passage of this act, or wherever such
divisions shall occur, to determine to which
branch of the church or society such cOngre
CATION shall thereafter belong, and which de
termination shall be reported to the said
court, and if approved shall be entered on the
minutes, and shall be conclusive as to the title
to and control of any property held in trust
for such congregation, and shall be respected
and enforced accordingly in all the courts of
this Commonwealth. And whereas there are
churches or religious societies. which are en-
tirely independent in their organization of any
other church or any general society, in which
divisions have occurred or may occur in case
of divisions in any such independent church
or society, a majority of the members thereof
entitled to vote by its constitution, as existing
at the time of shch divisions, or where such
church or society has no written constitution,
entitled to vote by the ordinary practice or
customs of such church or society, shall decide
the right, title and control of all property held
in trust for such church or society, or the reli-
gious congregation connected Herewith, and
their decision shall be reported to such court,
and if approved by it shall be so entered on
the minutes and shall be final as to such right
of property so held. "
This act shall be in force from its passage
