THE NEXT EVANGELICAL COUNCIL TO BE BEID IN
From the New York Observer (Presbyterian), Sep
TENDER 29]
The proposal to hold the next Protestant General
Conference In the city Of Rome was received with
great enthusiasm ut the immense meeting ned on
Sunday evening last In this city. Rome is free. No
longer under the sway Of man who drove out the
Scotch Presbyterans but four years ago, IL is now
open to the Bible, to religious worship, to colpor-
Tours to schools and to the Protestant Ecumenicai

and brought forth the poor little mouse Of infalli-
bility. The whole Protestant world will respond to
the invitation when is sent forth calling upon evan
gel1ca Chrstenoom 10 meet In council In the city
OF Rome. 1t would not be wise to begin such
work now. The right to hold such a meeting In
Rome to-day is secured by the Italian constitution:
Its expediency Is another thing. IL would be re-
sisted by the people, who are almost unanimously
PapIsts. Probably Protestant convention could
not be held IN Rome this year or next without being
exposed .., to popular violence BY and BY things
there as It does elsewhere IN Italy.

constitution OF Italy secures freedom OF worship,
ana that constitution Is Low established In Rome!
Up to this time the only spot on the planet where
liberty OF worship was denied was In the city gov

the Vicar OF Christ. Now he Is simple subject OF
Victor Emanuel, who viii vlndicale the right OF all

THE SPIRITUAL POWER OF THE POPE NOT AFFECTED.
(Fr0m the acknowledgements
The spiritual mower OF the Pope is In way
affected by this loss OF temporal authority. That
depended Oh no visible Kingdom but was exercised
III the minds OF men. IL may well be even strengths
ened by his being relieved from the scandals and
cruelties attending The mlsgovernment OF his minis
tiers. The Vicar OF Christ ordering executions and
commanding some OF his brethren 10 fire On others
to maintain his power was no edifying spectacle

The Christian World says:-An irresponsible
statement to the effect that there are 1000 chill
dren in these schools, published two years since
was transferred TO our miscellany, and extensively
copied into the religious and secular press. Sub
seqqently, when asked for our authority, having
none to give sought lniOrmatton from agents or
the Frcedmen's bureau and others engaged in mis-
sl0nary labor in the Soush. The result or some
what thorough inquiry indicates that there are only
OF komish teachers The TACT seems TO be- that the
priesthood count the grown people as children
enough for their purposes. which Is unhapplly TOO
true an thus far have expended their principal
efforts upon The adult colored population.
Fruits for the FriendIess.
A friend sends to the Observer the following sug-
gcstion, which we cordially commend to the con-
sideraton OF all who have homes in the country on
which, during the present season, God has snowered

GOD has given US O great crop OF fruit. Do not let
busne OF 1t be wasted, but send some OF your sur
and thus cheer The hearts and improve the health OF
those to whom fruit is great and rare luxury and
all expenses Of freight win be thankfully paid.
