Episcopacy.

The Episcopal Evangelical Conference
in Chicago adjourned on the evening Of
the nth, having been in session two days
The proceedings of the Conference were
interesting, though there waslittle accom-
plished, in the opinion Of some of its
members. The High Church and Low
Church parties remain together, but in
the opinion of many they cannot much
longer. 1t seems to us that the tendency
of the High Church is to Catholicism and
the Low Church to something more hbe-
raj than the Protestant Episcopal Church.
The tendency of all Churches or Denomi-
nations, as it seems is to come under the
yoke of authority on the one hand, or in
to Freedom on the other. The question
is between Despotism and Freedom.

Literature.

| Literature
| We are receiving considerable amount of
literature at this Office, in the form of Dailies
Weeklies, Monthlies and Quarterlies, and we
cannot read twentieth part of it. Nor is it
read by any nor by all in this office. 1t is
doubtful if there is one tenth part of it read
And we feel, and haze felt for some time, that
there ought to be better use made of it.
And the question arises, what is the best use
to be made Of it? We believe there is not
Reading Room in this place. We will there
fore make proposition to the people of Ken
osha. and others who may feel an interest in
it. If they will establish a Reading Room
and furnish an amount equal to what we can
furnish, to which all who may desire it can
have access, under proper regulations, we
will donate to and for the use of the Reading
Room, all the literature we can spare, How
much it would be we will not say at present.
OF course it would be but small and yet, with
an equal amount, it might be sufficient to
make beginning.
Do the people desire to have Reading
Room? Do they wish to save the young men
of this community from dissipation and vice?
Do they desire to lend helping hand to such
as desire to reform and feel themselves too
weak to accomplish it? Do they know we
have such among us? If they do not, they do
not know as much in that respect as we do.
We know it well, but feel too weak to give
the needed aid.
In view of all the premises we make the
foNa nfVorp !
to take such action as may be thought best.
! THE foregoing was written some weeks ago
and we thought it was in the hands Of the
compositors but find Il was not. We give il
place this week.
