The Lenten season ends next Sabbath. The
present Lent has been season of unusual
grace. We gather from our religious ex-
changes that revivals have prevailed all over
the country, and that the granary of godli-
ness has been we'll supplied.
At the same time we are compelled to state
that the religious press has been lapsing in
the work Of Christian evangelization. The
Evangelist, for instance, leads off in what it
calls tho "Old, Old Story" and remarks that
''Paris is still in state of anarchy" but stops
to say word about the "sop to the Baptists,"
upon which topic the Evangelist dilates al
as follows:-
The acceptance OF gift OF land from this city to
charitable Institution under the patronage OF the
Baptlsts has called out many strong expressions o.
disaprroca'lol. Even the members OF that de-
nomination are not agreed among themselves. The
Baptsts OF this city are condemned by thor
brethren elsewhere. Thus the iFatcit7ad3 ana Ry-
Hector OF Boston mourn5 over II as an arosacy to
Baptist principles At The head of its editorial col
the warning title, ut Is Not 100 Late,' which Of
Itself sounds like u call to repentance, a remOu-
STRANGE which reads like iamen,ation oil jeremiah
the prophet
The Jeremiah on this occasion will certainly
the Baptist, but to The Catholic, the Metho-
dist, the Episcopal, the Universalist, the Swe-
dcnborsian, all and all alike. II such an order
were in existence in this city, as it once was
in the oil regions, no doubt he should be in
favor of donation for the benefit Of the
Church of the Holy Derrick"
One of our Hebrew contemporaries COM
plains of our not noticing its editorials. We
do not plead ignorance of the Hebrew Ian
guage; but suppose the editor we refer 10 puts
his fluctuations in Greek, or "heathcn
Chinee," or in Choctaw, or Pottawattamic, or
reader? How pleasant it would then be to
tell the world how our friends the Israeltes
are advancing in the line of human and modern
progress!
The Jeoish Messenger has an article on the
"Jew in SelfDefence," aud refers to paper
in the April Aaaatic entitled ''Castilian
Days" The Messenger damages its logic and
spoils its grammar by the remark, ''Such
thoughtless expressions as this" Where il
Artemus Ward? or "why is this thus!" The
Messenger refers to the Passover-the festival
in commemoraton of Israel's emancipation
from Egyptian slavery--which commences on
Wednesday evening next.
The Independent is very large, and has y
word to say to the republican party, and
comes to the conclusion that that party cannot
live by mutual admiration. To quote its own
word::-
cannot live by self-gratnlatons, simply on the
credit or past success. They are confronted by u
watching all their mistakes ready to take adyan-
taqe Of tleni aud hoping 10 gain possession OF the
government at the next Presidential election. The
triumph OF this minority though moi probable, ~
very tar from being Impossible.
