lies understand that the difference between
them and us is this that they cling to reli-
gion which addresses itself to the Imagination
or intellect, the essence of which is subms-
sion to the Church, to the commandments of
men, dead form; while we ask them to re-
celve perfect and free salvation by grace to
find living Christ-that ''kingdom of God
which is righteousness and peace and Joy in
the Holy Ghost"
These are the questions to be opened up
but 1t must be done without pride, without
bitterness, without violence; it must be done
in love. When we consider the millions of
Roman Catholics who have been baptized in
the name of the Father of the Son, and of
the Holy Ghost, but hindered by the veil of
superstition, human tradition and creature
mediation, do not know, do not possess
Christ, our feelings should be those of sorrow,
not anger; and we should beseech them, by
the meekness and gentleness of Christ, to
come to Him in simple faith.
The Council at Rome will commence on the
Sth of December, the anniversary of the pro-
mitigation of the doctrine of immaculate con-
ception. What is to be done at this period?
Will it be permitted to me to express my
thoughts, which l submit entirely to your
wisdom and to that of the brethren assembled
in London
Would it not be well that in every place
where there may be certain number of
pious and intelligent Christians, this day
should be devoted to conferences, to which
orthodox Christians of different denomina-
tions should be invited? Would it not be
well that prayers should arise, not only in
these conferences, but in family worship and
public services, to entreat the only head of
the Church. Jesus Christ, for the illumination
and eternal salvation of those who are placed
under the Papal yoke
In these times Roman Catholics and Free
thinkers show great boldness; shall we, the
Evangelical Christians be the only towards?
1t appears to me that the proposition of
such a manifestation of Evangelical principles
in Christian parishes would come much better
from London than from Continental town,
which does not possess the influence of your
great capital, the metropolis of Evangelical
Chrstendom.
May the great Head of the Church Himself
direct your relations, and give great bless
ing on every effort made for His glory! Be-
lieve me, my dear sir, yours most truly,

THE ECUMENICAL COUNCIL.
An Important Letter from DIR. Merle d'Aubigne
Action Thereon.

Action Thereon.
The following is a letter from DR.. Merle
dAubigne to Hon. Arthur Kinnaird, NJ p.
with reference to the Ecumenical Council at
Rome:-
GENOA, MAY 10, 1SG9-My Dear Mr.. Kin
naird:--I wrote to you some time ago about
the Ecumenical Conference which it was pro-
posed to hold at Geneva on the occasion of
the General Council at Rome.
A question presented ltself-Should it be
held before or after the General Council?
Some thought-and some friends at Geneva
were among the number-that it should be
after, as it is then only that we shall know
what the Council will have done, and what
can,be said in reply. Our resolution is not to
hold our Conference this year.
But is there nothing to be done before the
Council is held at Rome? Shall we say nothing
when Rome calls us? Do you not think it
would be well to have consultation about il
in London, while so many of your earnest
men are assembled there for the May meet
ings? The subject is of great importance.
No General Council of the Romish Church
has been held since that of Trent, in the six
teenth century On that occasion the Pope
invited Protestants to return to the bosom of
the Church of which he is the head.
The present crisis, which agtates more or
less all Christendom renders it important
u
ton Of Evangelical principles for doctrines
thus established are precisely those which are
attacked by Ritualism, Rationalsm, and other
erroneous systems.
The work of the Reformation was arrested
in the second half of the sixteenth century
1t is time that we should take it up, aud the
invitation which the Pope has addressed to us
furnishes a suitable occasion
This manifestation of Evanpelical princi-
| pies, to be useful, should be made i'm every
town, even every village where there is
! Christian life; would to God that We're every
where
But what should be the aim of these meet
ings The great doctrines of Holy Scripture
should be affirmed, and the urgent necessity
of carrying on the work of the reformation
should be pressed upon the Christian public
1t is not true that the men of eamestness,
sincerity, and noble character, now in the
Church of Rome, should abandon religion
of exteriors, of forms and rites, to receive
that which is ''spirit and life? ?"
Ought we not to try to make Roman Catho-

Rehabilitation after DisestabIishment-Th Cir
cuIar of the ArchbishOps of Armagh and
Dublin.
The Archbishops of Armagh and Dublin
have issued the following joint address to the
clergy and laity in reference to the Provincial
Synods which they had summoned to meet at
Armagh and Dublin. 1t was briefly referred
to in our dispatches of the 20th ult:-
To the Clergy and Laity of the Church of
Ireland, grace andpeace be multiplied through
Jesus Christ our Lord. We have this day is
sued our writs summoning the provincial
synods of our respective provinces to meet in
Armagh and Dublin. The purpose for which
we have called them together is to consult
and treat on the representation Of the clergy
in that general synod of bishops, clergy, and
laity, the expediency of assembling which has
been recently declared by an unanimous re-
solution of the Irish prelates. In considering
a subject Of such momentous importance as a
future policy for the Church of Ireland we
felt strongly that we had not to originate
a constitution for new communion,
but to repair a sudden breach in
one of the most ancient churches in Christen-
dom. The State, which represented and acted
for the laity having withdrawn from all con-
neotion with the Church, it becomes a matter
of necessity to devise means to reintroduce
tbe Law clement in manner which should be
in copsonance with the principles and rules
which had heretofore prevailed In her eccle-
siastical constitution. Precedents of an
ancient date might have. justified the
Archbishops in summoning, of their
own authority provincial synods of the
bishops, clergy, and laity of the Church, IT, to
meet and consult on pressing affairs. W. we
could not however, exercise this power with
put deciding questions concerning the repre-
}entation Of the clergy and laity which We
have thought it better to leave to them TO ae
.ermine respectively for themselves; we lei
that the clergy would naturally and reasona
blv desire to consider on their own behalf the

CHAPTER II.
\ DESPERATE STRUGGLE FOR LIBERTY

DESPERATE STRUGGLE FOR LIBERTY
Before Ally Bell reached the brig
lying ut the wharf, his uncle Colonel
Nichols, had been there and arranged
with the Captain, who went by the
name of Hiley, to carry Ally off to
China, for which service the Colonel
promised to give the Captain the brig
and ten thousand dollars, n case the
boy nerer came back. Hiley was a muir
derer, whose real name was Sprouts,
and Colonel Nichols knew it. And
Colonel Nichols had robbed Mrs. Les
ter, and now wanted to rob his neph-
ew and have him murdered, and Hi
ley knew that, and resolved that Ally
Bell should never see Norfolk again.
"Where is the lad p he asked as he
and Colonel Nichols finished drinking
success to their nefarious schemes, to
which the Colonel replied:
"He should be here at this very
moment. All, l hear his step on deck
now Here he comes!"
Even as he spoke Ally Bell came
hurrying into the cabin, his face flush
ed with pleasurable excitement
"Pm Just in time to see you off,
Captain Hiley," he said, not noticing
the guilty looks of the conspirators.-
"The wind is fair, and the crew anx-
ious. A good voyage to you, Captain.
Bring me some rare shells when you
return. They are for a little girls
cabinet, and must be prettyp'
"Aye, aye, Mr.. Allen," responded
the Captain, heartily. "Didn't you
see my collection of shells in yonder
state-room No? You are welcome
to your choice of them, all, sir"
He advanced, and flung open the
state-room door.
Ally bent forward and looked in.
With quick thrust, Hiley pushed
him into the little room and hrlrriedly

LESTER ESCAPES AND HEARS FROM HOME.
We left David Lester on his lonely
island, planning his escape, with ship
in sight from the elevated point where
he was at work. He waited till night
aud until a priest of the idolatrous
temple came to chain him in his dun
geon, where they nightly confined him;
and then suddenly leaping upon the
priest, he bore him to the floor, chain
ed and gagged him, disguised himself
in his priestly robes, stained his face
brown with dirt, went to the shore
where the canoes Were lying, entered
one of them, and padded out to sea
in the direction in which he had seen
the ship.
He padded for hours with all his
strength, and had gone so far that the
lights of the island could not be seen,
and yet no ship had b zen found and

The Three Little Chairs.

They sat alone by the bright wood fire,
The gray-haired dame and the aged sire,
Dreaming of days gone by;
| The tear-drop fell on each wrinkled cheek
They both had thoughts that they could moi
speak
AS each heart uttered sigh.
For their sad and fearful eyes deserted
Three little chairs placed side by side
Against the sitting-room wall;
Old fashioned enough as there they stood,
Their seats of flag, and their frames of wood
With their backs so straight and tall.
Then the sire shook his si1very head,
And with trembling voice he gently said
Mother, those empty chairs,
They bring us such sad, sad thoughts to-
night,
Well put them forever out of sight,
In the small dark room up stairs"
But she answered Father, no, not yet,
For look at them and L forget
That the children went away.
The boys come back, and sure Mary, too,
With her apron of checkered blue,
And sit here every day.
Johnny still whistles ships tall masts,
And Willie his leaden bullets casts,
While Mary her patchwork sews;
AT evening time three childish prayers
Go up to God from those little chairs,
So softly that no one knows.
Johnny comes back from the billow deep,
Willie wakes from his battlefield sleep,
say goodnight to me;
Mary's wife and mother no more,
But tried child whose play-time is DER,
And comes to rest on my knee.
So let them stand there, though empty now,
And every time when alone we bow
At the Fathers throne to pray,
Well ask to meet the children above,
In our Savior's home of rest and love,
Where no child goeth away"
