Gossip OF tho Religious Press-Livinx-
stone from Religions Point Of
View.
Several of our evangelical contemporaries
take occasion this week to refer to the
HERALD expedition for the discovery of DR..
Livingstone, and although heretofore inclined
to be incredulous in regard to the subject.
they now unite in expressing their admiration
for the boldness and success of the entire un-
dertaking. Aside from their scientific i'm
portance, the explorations of DR.. Livingstone
possess peculiar interest when taken from
religious point of view, and from that stand
point the EuongeHst-one of the principal
Presbyterian organs in the country-says:-
DR.. Livingstone has had higher aims in view
than those OF scientific explorers He has been
engaged in pioneering the exploration Of CONT
nent In the name OF that Master to whom belongs
that Of his Own Christian devotion could have
constrained him to do; and now as, instead OF
Fastening his return TO civilization, he resumes
his task, resolved to lay open the heart OF the con-
tlnent stn more completely to the gaze or tho
world. we feel that we cannot admire his her0ism
its Divine source in the conservation Of his powers
and his life itself to the work Of bringing Afrcas
Gospel, as well as OF European civilization.
The Evangelist also reads a timely homily
upon 'The Limits to Party Allegiance" in
which it deprecates the demoralizing influences
of political campaign, and trusts that it shall
''never be visited by such an excess of party yea
as to witness with any, even the least satisfac-
ton, the sacrifice of independent manhood to
party dictation, or the access of any party to
power over causeway built up out Of the frag-
ments and rubbish of the public conscience"
The Independent discourses upon Senator
Summers Dilemma" and concludes by de-
claring that there is one bold and noble course
open to the Massachusetts, Senator-one
worthy of his past and his future. "Let him.
says the Independent ''bravely take the dilemma
by the horns and make himself its MASTER
Gan men know what think OF General Grant,
he might say, "and 80 all men may Judge OF what
to the worser Ones which know not OF,
but which I know must follow the election
Of Horace Greeley the choice because .S tnsy
enemies OF the black AS the least of two evils,
l shall vote for Grant, and urge all men OF my
opinions to do likewise"
''This,' adds the Independent, with Mephis-
tophelean gravity, ''were noble and wise
course. Will he take it?" Having just re-
lieved himself of one dose of nauseatng poll
teal pills it is not probable the patient is
anxious to try another Immediately.
The Golden Age is beginning to take the
''Lowest View of It'-meaning the liberal
movement Having but short time since
discoursed upon the necessity of there being q
Hades the brilliant Age is eminently qualified
to take the lowest view Of almost anything.
But with the alacrity of bright and shining
light it is also capable Of taking more exalted
view of sublunary matters, especially when it
announces that ''the HERALD of this city is an
independent journal and to-day is one of the
ablest papers in the country. Its editorials are
among the very best, and some of them
are remarkable for intelligence and force"
'Words fifty spoken are like apples of gold in
pictures of silver" and the Golden Age can
paint the prettiest picture in the world if it
only be in an amiable and silvery humor at
the moment it makes the attempt
The Free,nan's Journal (Catholic) is in an
unusually pleasant mood this week. Refer
ring to the choice for President it proclaims
that cit is either Greeley or Grant-Greeley,
crotchety, crank headed, unreliable and ezra
tic, without drop of democratic blood in his
veins or democratic impulse in his heart;
or Grant, the creature of mere luck, whose
prospects dozen years ago were infinitely
better for the poorhouse than for the White
House and concludes that, it being between
these two that choice is to be made, in such
dilemma it ''seeks to be no mans counsel
lor." Between the horns of ''such dilem-
ma" why does not the Journal take an extra
outside horn of its own and run an independ-
ent ticket?
The Christian IntelHgencer touches upon
s'Creeds and Their Enemies;" but the article
that will command the attention of the gen.
eral reader is entitled Religious Newspapers
and Politics." in which it is asserted that the
religious press is mighty battery which
ought to be controlled only by the highest in
telligence and conscientious devotion to those
principles which alone constitute the safety Of
popular government. May it never become
an instrument of evil in the hands Of tipid
incompetency or Of narrow craftsmanship !"
The Je,cish Messenger copies from the HERALD
an editorial article on Hebrew Rabbinical
Education" and remarks that it is one OF
the most important, suggestive and accurate
statements of the necessities of the Jewish
community it has seen in the secular press.
