EpIscoPALIAN IGNORANCE - Or IS IT
SOMETHING WORSE Public opinion gen
orally comedies that the Protestant Episco,
pal Church (so-called) represents the en-
lightenment, the responsibility, the honesty
and the truthfalness, par excellence, Of Pro-
testantism at large. Let the public.read
the following ''elegant extract" from Pc
riodical entitled Home and Abroad, an
organ of the Protestant Episcopal Church,
of September Is, 1870, and then decide
whether greater tissue of ignorance and
falsehood could possibly proceed from the
most illiterate Baptist or Methodist parson.
Why, any ten -year-old Catholic schoolboy
would be a Professor of Theology along
side the Rev. Arthur (author) of such a
production
Roman Catholic Idolatry in China.-It is
the religion of Mary, not of Christ, which
is professed at Rome her emissaries are
Marians, not Jesuits. And the unbiushipg
idolatry practised by that Church must be
far more hateful to God than the idoiatry
of the heather. Roman Catholic idoiatry
is a sin against the full light Of Gods writ
ten word heather idoiatry IS SIN against
the twilight glimmer of the book OF
Nature. Neither can any sreply that
the Roman Catholics worship the true
God the heather, false gods; and that,
therefore, Roman Catholic idolatry is inf
nitely more palliabie than that of the hea-
then. They worship men and women as
well as God. "I went into one of their
ehapels," said an intelligent Chinese gen.
tleman the other day, sit was full of
images. There was the image of God the
djnn-neng ziang {" the image of the AL
mighty"); there, too, were, Mo-i' zlapg
Image of Josepl"); all worshiped and pray
ed to, and l Thought the scene much like
that in ur.native temples. was admitted
after awhile into an inner room, and there
was n service going on for the souls in
Purgatory, and for our departed uncon-
verted ancestors; all the world like our
sacrifcial ceremonies for the spirits of the
dead; and came out resolving if changed
to make a more thorough change than
that."-ReU. ArthWr q. Moute.

COMPULSORY RELIGION. = Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher says in his Christian Union

Ward Beecher says in his Christian Union :
We do not know of better illustration
of the uselessness of enforced religious
teaebipg than that furnished in Professor
Stowe's article in our columns this week.
He SAYS, "the Bible has been faithfully and
fully taught in all the schools" in Prussia.
And with what fruit That there is more
practical scepticism in Germany than in
anv other great Protestant nation, seems
TO us established almost beyond argument.
Every one knows how strikingly our Ger
man immigrants, as a class, are marked by
religious unbelief. The general testimony
of observers agrees in stating like fact as
to the same people at home. Prussia has a
State Church, aud the preachers speak to
empty walls. She enfOrces religious teach
ing ON every child, and her adults are I'M
believers. There is lesson here worth
reading.
The Professor Stowe above alluded to is
Reecher's own brother-in-law, the husband
of Harriet Beeeher Stowe Although
valued contributor to his paper, and a rela-
tive. he has candor enough to expose the
fallacy of the Professors column article,
mainly devoted to abuse of France and
Islander of Catholics, which contains the
criticised sentence.

some premium for blue variety. but in
vain. IL has been said by an eminent
authority, that cultivation will change
yellow into red or white. but never into
blue aud that blue in time may become
red. but never yellow The difficulty of
obtaining blue rose is of course iucreaS-
eel by the fact that there i no hybrid

Hide the Scars.

\ painter WAS once engaged upon 4
likeness of Alexander the Great. In the
course of his battles Alexander had re-
ceiyed an ugly scar on the side of his
face. The artist was DESTROYS of giving
a correct likeness of the monarch, and
at the same time DESTROYS of hiding the
scar. Il was difficult task to accom-
plish. At length he hit upon happy
eNpedient. He painted him in - reflec-
tive attitude, his hand placed against his
head, while his finger covered the scar.
The best men are not without their fail
ings, their Scars-but do not dwell upon
them. In speaking OF them 10 others,
adopt the painters expedient, and let the
finger Of love be placed on the scar.
