Faahionable Christianity.

A New York paper describes at some
length the fashions of Grace Church, and
concludes as follows:
A word about fashionable prayer books.
BED is en- regle; black is not. Gold clasps
are always necessary, as are also gold edg-
ipgs. They must be in octave form-quarto
is awfuly inconyenient, except one can
bring fOotman along. When opening the
manual be careful about the clasp, for book.
binders are unreliable. A couple of scarlet
tassels, marking the pages which it is neces-
sary to peruse, will be found useful. So
much for fashions.
An ancient friend at our elbow suggests
that, according to his best recollection, the
prayer book Of "The Man OF Sorrows
when on earth, had neither gold clasps nor
gold edgings: nor was it necessary to bind
it in octave, or have footman to carry it.
In fact, if his memory is not at fault, it con-
tanned but one short prayer, beginning with
the beautiful words, sour Father, which art
In Heaven"
