-Four Courts Of Appeal in Italy
have now decided in favor of the
legality of the marriage of priests
In one case the principle has beer
established before the marriage was
sOlemnized 1t is significant that the
marriage of priests is one Of the sub
jects appointed for discussion at the
coming Romish Council. Many OF
the priests have married, or are about

coneubinage into that of legal mar

the tendency to commemorate Christ
mas D3y as a festival He SAYS
Christmas is a part of a system, and
we cannot adopt it without giving a
practical assent to the whole. To OBJ
serve it is to lend our sanction to the
observance Of the ecclesiastical calen-
dar. Passion Week and Easter are
also beginning to be remembered BY
Baptists. The compliance In one
particular opens the way for further
complIances. IL is like the letting
out Of water. [ call on Baptists to
resist beginnings. Let US be stead

maintained so long and with so
abundant blessing from on high"
THE Convent CAsE.-The great
Convent case In England has been
brought to a conclusion. A verdict
was given for the plaintiff, with $500
damages, and costs. The lawyers
were somewhat surprised at the result
of the trial, for they did not think
that there was enough evidence to
carry a conviction, and it was sup
posed that the only good gained
by the trial would be the public e.
pose of the whole conventual system.
The trial lasted twenty one days, the
average expenses being ESQ a day;
making a total of 60. $50, Grover $36,-
600. It is hard to imagine anything
more suicidal than a war like this
among Roman Catholics.
FEsTIvALs.-It is one chief advan-
tage of that regular course of fes
rivals by which the Church fosters
the piety of her children, that they
tend to preserve a due proportion and
equilibrium In our religious views.
We have all tendency, according to
our several constitutions. and the
circumstances of our peculiar position
IN life, to adopt partial views If
Christian truth; to insulate certain
doctrines from their natural accom-
paniments, and to call our favorito
fragment the Gospel. We hold q Tow
facts so near our eyes that thew b;da |
all the Test Of the Bible Whatevar
we cam OF at once refer to our chosen |
centre seems insignificant; whatever
we can, seems important only In that
connection. Now. the Church fes- |
tival system ministers perpetual cor
receive o this tendency; and hence. /
not imp-obably, one cause Of its gen
eral uDpopularity with all those that |
have been so unfortunate as to aban- |
don the primitive balance of doctrine. |
