Review or the Religious Press.
Oar religious contemporaries do not put in
very brilliant appearance this week. The
only thing that seems to have stirred them up
was the preparation attending the celebra-
ton of the twenty fifth year Of the Pontifcate
of Pope Plus TX, which event came of in
grand style on the 10th instant. The New
York Tablet (Catholic) says:-
With our brethren in every land beneath the sun,
with the Catholic press OF the whole world, we low
ingy unite IN nlal greeting to the Father OF the
Faithful the Vicar OF Christ thankful TO the AL
mighty Ruler OF all who has preserved SO long

completed.
Henry Ward Becchcr tells us in his Chris
tan Union what faith is, as follows:-

highest moments man Is as directly conscious OF

straight home to the SOUL The eye does not see
path than the heart knows and feels God. This Is
faith, in Its highest sense-thc direct immediate ap
prehenslOn OF spiritual realities.
The Union also gives us some news from
Athens, in the shape Of report of a meeting
of the radical Club" consisting of ladies
and gentlemen who came together apparently
for the purpose Of hearing and telling "some
new thing" At the last meeting, it seems,
ligion, and great jubilation over the triumphs
of the former. Whcreupon Colonel Higgin-
son said -

able than that of the other.
The Evangelist INDUCES in characteristic
lament over the city charity appropriations in
behalf Of what it facetiously calls ''Our Estab-
lished Church, " and goes on to say -
To term these "charties" Is adding insult to In.

justice to go onf 1t altogether IN violation OF the
principles OF American government.
The Observer joins with its Presbyterian CO.
laborer, the Eoangesist in the cry against the
city charities, taking for its text the fact that
Mayor Hall has just drawn his warrant for

Does the Observer want the terrible Tam
many ring to manage the asylum?
The Observer also discourses on Stree
Thought and Free Religion" and takes occa-
sion to rap the Boston radical theorists over
the knuckles. 1t says:-
We have large class OF free religionists, In our
own land-'free. thinkers haters OF Christlanity-
Who in their wild ambition wish to have it tried ali
over the world. They are but fulfilling the Divine
scoers they may be able to overthrow the latin
OF some, but "the foundation OF God standeth sure"
The Independent has savage article entitled
''The Traitor and the Copperhead," in which
JEFF Davis and the lamented Vallandigham are
made the targets for the malignant shafts of
the writer. A good deal is said in the article
that had better been left unsaid.
The Golden Age asks, ''What is the Woman
Question:" and proceeds to answer it's own
inquiry in its own peculiar way. 1t insists
that sthe woman question, when 1t is carried
before the public for discussion, shall not be
dwarfed into any mere demand for political
provocative, but shall include the whole broad
theme of woman's social oppression" The
Democratic Departure" is also the subject
of few tender lines in the Age, while the
'Bloody Pageant in Paris is the theme of
lively assault upon the Versailles government
as q twin of the Commune in passion, violence
and murder. The 'Ethlcs of LoaHng" is an
article based upon overworking the brain, con-
Guiding as follows:-
One OF the most sage and bengnant directions

Tribune and may be the next President is the one
which he gave to a noted man who had got rich,
and wanted to know what he was to do next-"Go

go aiishing before we get rich, fewer OF us would
find paralysis interfering with our enjoyment of
riches after they are got
The JewisA Messenger compliments the
HERALD upon its enterprise in reporting faith
fully the progress Of Judaism, but takes excep-
tons to some Of our editorial comments and
conclusions. It is, however, altogether more
of a matter Of taste than lack Of Judgment
or Information. The He6reao Neos has given
the HERALD quite lengthy complimentary
notice, which we reproduce.
