Dr. Dollinger has his qnarrel with the Ho-
Father-the Rev. Mr.. Cheney his battle
win Dr. Whitehouse-and now the Rev. Mr.
Ihrall, declining to rebel, but bent upon fol-
lowing conscientious conviction, ceases to
be a aPresbyter of the Episcopal Church, and
formally resigns because he desires to make
use of an amended Prayer Book. This course
is perhaps the wisest. 1t prevents scandal.
and averts collision between the Diocesan
and clergyman under his charge. But it
does more than this. 1t shows that the fer
henting leaven of progress is at work in
new direction. The Wardens and Vestry of
Episcopal Church in Fifty. seventh street unite
with Mr.. Thrall in a definite and effective
protest against the use of a liturgy, two cen
turtles old in England and nearly a century
here, which has always been open to the OBJ
lection OF sectarianisn. The "Union Prayer
BOOK BOOK used yesterday for the first time in the
EEpscopalan service, is now introduced to the
Chufches as a "new departure" :" covering the
"roie ground OF Christian doctrine without
giving cause OF offence to the members of any
uehominatlon. Although Mr.. Thralps name
Is erased, at his own request, from the list of
the recognized Episcopal clergy of the city
ne Is sustained by his congregation, Just as
Mr.. Cheney is sustained in the sharper meth.
cd which has made Chicago the scene of an
unseemly quarrel, Mr.. Thrall does not wran-
gle, but quietly steps aside. In this manner
ne wins sympathy.-NeU York Commercial.

man has heaad that the bishop of Minnesoua,
having declined the episcopate OF the Sand
wich Islands, the archbishop of Canterbury
and the bishop of Winchester have renewed
the offer of the episcopate of these islands in a
new form. 1t is that he assume the iurisdic-
tion there, and spend his winter months
there, employing his time IN his own diocese
during the summer. This correspondent adds
this story: at is said that an enthu iastic
English clergyman recently wrote to Emmeg-
ahbown, the Indian deacon, to know what
salary would be paid to him to come over here
anu become assistant to him. Emmegahbown
replied, Only rice and potatoes, and not al
ways enough of that 1t is strange To saw
that the EngliShman has not yet reported for
duty"
During one of the visitations of Bishop Tai.
bot in Nebraska he had occasion, as bishops
and ministers often have in new and sparsely
settled territories, 10 hold service in a log
school house, in Richardson county, for the
pioneers. In the course of the service he
gave out a hymn, read ii through, and as
there was no one present to 'raise the tune"
commenced the singing himself. Finding
that he was executing solo, he omitted the
second verse, and passed on to the last. One
of the pioneers noticed this nefarious proceed
ing, and, not being willing to submit TO it,
jumped up and shouted, "Hello, mister! you
have skippedP The fact was patent. The
bishop sang the missing verse; and, as he has
magnificent voice, the pioneer was clearly
justitiabe in demanding the execution of the
whole programme.
