-Rev. Charles f. Cheney, OF Chicago, who is to
be tried by an ecclesiastical board for the efense |
of emitting the words ''regenerate, etc." from /
the office for the baptism of infants has been
informed by Bishop Whitehouse that none OF |
the signers of the late protest against Ritualism |
and High Church notions will be allowed to sit |
on the Court. The Right Rev. Henry j. White |
house is the fit bishop of that diocese, which has
struck out the word Protestant" from its name. |
He packs his jures.-Indtpsnd3 d3nt.

"A Protestant Episcopal rector of Chicago
recently preached communion sermon on the
duty of receiving the bread with hands crosses,
and of carrying 1t to the lips without touching
it with the fingers
The following remarks are timely-The
Protestant CbUrClnIdn says that 'in some of
our fashionable congregations man without
kid gloves is as much out of place as he would
be at an aristocratic wedding party in cowhide
boots. And it is because they feel that they
cannot vie in elegance with their neighbors that
the poor often stay away from church." To
which the AdUdnce replies:-"True but where
there is one such church as this, there are ten
which comfortably shelter themselves against
such q strong indictment, yet keep the poor
away for all that! They leave their kid gloves
at home, perhaps but their well-to-do indiffe--
ence toward the pooris as repellant as the dainty
aversion of the former. They don't want to be
disturbed in their pews; tkey don't want the
trouble OF making the acquaintance OF these
people; they do not exercise Christian cordiality
They never think what comment on their lives
is the life of Christi"

corporation, New York, is based on the ground
that it has forfeited its rights to its funds, be-
cause it has ceased to be ''Protesta1t Episcopal
its rector having joined Dr. Ever in calling Pro-

ration will give no account of its funds and per-
verts them to the destruction of morals by leas-
ing its property to those who keep houses of
ill-fame.

QUAKER.
The modified character of modern Quaker
ism, by which it is assimilating itself in spirit
and work with other Christian bodies, is seen in
the issue of the Monthly Record an English jour
nal devoted to the home and foreign missions of
the Friends. An account is given of numerous
breakfast meetings held last winter in London,
some attended by 1000 men and others by as
many women, and addressed mainly by Quakers
and Quakeresses; but ''several of different de-
nominations have, under the restraining in
fluence of the love of Christ, at times vecally
taken part in the religious meetings." On
one occasion two clever men of the press were
present to produce a satircal article for their
newspaper; but the Word of the Lord came with
such power to them both that their evil purpose
was forgotten, and both are now zealously labor
ing to build up the faith they once sought to
destroy" Mention is made of half dozen mis-
sionaries now in Madagascar. A similar move
ment is going on in this country, especially in
the West; and new life is being infused into
body which seemed slowly disintegrating. The
remarkable revival in Richmond, Ind, in which
the Friends have taken so active a part, is an
example in point
