THE Cry OF COP AND THE CHURCH MAX
ERs.-An examination into structural
Christianity and criticism of Christian
scribes and doctors of the law. By r. Abb
bey. New York: Hurd t& Houghton, 1921
For sale by Loring, Short and Harmon.
The author seeks to show that Christ new
er introduced any new religion or Church
polity into the world, and that what we call
Christianity is only modified form of Juda-
ism. This discovery of Mr.. Abbey seems to
have caused him much unnecessary trouble
and anxiety Of mind. He speaks for himself
as follows: 81 am not unmindfuf of the re-
sponsibility of such publication as this, but,
Of course, without ability to measure it.
Books, and prayers, and midnight hours, and
foolscap written and burned, and public lee
lures, and pulpit labors, and private consulta-
tions, have at least borne witness to an hon
est industry in the premises. This book was
written and carefully examined by the best
and soberest counsel known to me, several
years ago. But nerve faltered, and response
bility hesitated and drew back.
He who deems it an easy thing, or pleasant
or agreeable to human feelings, or can calcu-
late about the novelty of appearing original,
IN such publication as this, has sounded
the depths of social life and pious feeling
to little purpose. am aware
of, though 1 cannot account for, the principle
that declares war to the knife against the
man who dares to disturb opinions or teach
ings regarded by such belligerents as settled.
Secretly he is declared an outlaw. Innova-
tion is an objectionable sin.
The "errors of authors gives the venera-
bic theological Don Quixote, occupation for
fitting his lance through the greater part of
his book, while the latter portion is devoted
to running amuck with the Apostolate, the
First Council at Jerusalem, the Kingdom of
Heaven, the Roman Catholics, the Jews and
q few other subjects.
Webster's Dictionary is an arsenal from
which he draws some of his supplies, and the
manner in which he brings forth novel inter-
probation of many well-known passages and
makes them stand as witnesses in aupport of
his views and theories is at least original.
Take for instance, Christ's words toSt Peter,
"On this rock will build my Church." Now
Websters definition of "build,'' is to increase
and strengthen. to settle, or establish or pre-
serve," and som means in consequence of
''or Immediately following, or in pursuance
OF" as one would say ION payment of the
money / will deliver the goods.'
So with the abbey construction, Christ
meant that he would enlarge ani continue
His church 'on'' e., sin consequence of
Sin pursuance Of" or Immediately following
the fact, stated by 81 Peter, that Jesus was
| the Christ.

The Press in China.

The citizens of the Celestial empire enjoy
thorough liberty of the press, but at their own
risk and peril. The government, which has
no right to forbid any publication, revenges
itself afterwards by inficting the bastinado
on the authors of the pamphlets and the vir-
ulent satires that daily appear attacking it.
A great quantity of small portable printing
presses exists among private individuals who
both use and abuse them. There is no coun-
try in the world where the walls are so thick
ly covered with bills and advertisements.
The Chinese have practiced the typograph-
ical art from time immemorial; but as their
alphabet is composed OF more than forty
thousand letters, they could not make use of
movable type; they restricted themselves to
carving on piece of hard board the charac-
tiers they required, to wetting these characters
with ink and to striking off a number Of
copies, by applying different sheets of paper
to the board. Their binders, in opposition to
ours, make these leaves up into a volume by
fastening them together by their edges. A
note in the preface generally mentions the
place where the boards that printed the first
edition have been deposited.
There are in Peking several daily papers,
amongst others the Official Gazette, a govern

ais addressed to the Emperor, his DEGREES, the
edicts of the viceroys OF the provinces, judi
cial ceremonies and letters of pardon, the
custom-house tariffs, the court circular, the
news of the day, fires, crimes, &C., and final
ly the incidents, fortunate or unfortunate, of
the war against the rebel Tae-pings. 1t even

Exchange is no Robbery.

A good deal of amusement has been caused
in London theatrical circles by the publca-
ton OF couple of letters which passed be-
tween the manager of West End drapery
establishment and the acting manager of a
West End theatre. The draper's missiye ran
as follows:-
Sir,-If you are now issuing any compli-
mentary orders for theatre, may ask you to
circulate few through me for the ladies and
gentlemen of our house. By doing so YOU
may rely upon them being used by fashona-
BILE and well-dressed persons. 1 hope you
will pardon the liberty have taken by writ
ing to you and trusting the suggestion may
meet with your appreciation, am, Sir, yours
obediently, RI.
Promptly answered the acting manager
with paraphrase thus:-
Sir.-If you are now issuing any compli-
mentary black silk dresses, may l ask YOU to
circulate few through me for the ladies of
this theatre. By doing so you may rely upon
their being made up fashionably and worn by
ladies Of good appearance and figure hope
you will pardon the liberty; but, trusting the
suggestion may meet with approval, l am,
Sir, yours obediently. ATS.

vIcroRIA's WAsHINe.-A London lette

VICToRIAs WAsHING.-A London letter
OF the Boston Post says:
''There is much excitement in the usually
drowsy little town of Richmond-on-l hame!
Just now owing to request on the part OF
her Majesty that the roads might be opened
to Law a pipe from the Crown conduit on
Richmond Common to the Royal Laundry at
Kew, and the peremptory refusal Of the re-
quest by the Town Vestry. The Richmon-
dians are rather averse to having their water
supply cut off, even for the loyal object of
washing her Majesty's apparel, and the self
constituted friends of the Queen have been
very free with their charges of disloyalty and
Republicanism, chartism, &C., against the op-
ponents of the request of the Queen. At a
meeting of this body the other night the dis
cussion on resembling the refusal was very
bitter one, in the course of which Maxwell,
the publisher, got very much excited over an
allusion to Miss Braddon and Belgraria, and
came within an ace of inaugurating regular
tumble-down fight. Maxwell was yerv chiv-
alrousin his championship of the Queen, pu.
was outvoted and howled down. Kichmond
stands stoutly by its conduit, and her MaJes-
ty must look elsewhere for the supply Oh wa
ter for her washerwomen. The affair amuses
everybody, as it is known to be royal scheme
for saving money"

BUSINESS NOTICES.

The CULTURE OF THE HAIR.-Just as surely
as soil infested with Canadian thistles can be
made to produce fine crops of golden grain, the
scalp now sparsely covered with harsh, dry,
unmanageable hair may be made prolific of
silken tresses. All that is necessary to effect
the change in either case is the right Kind of
fertilizer. Leaving the agricultural chemists
to determine how the barren land shall be
fruitful, we positively assert that Lyons Ka-
thairon is unequaed as fertilizer and 5eauti-
tier of the hair. Twenty-Five years of success is
the basis of this unqualified statement. Dur
ing that time it has been used by many millions
of both sexes, and the first instance in which it
has failed to fulfil the expectations of ration
al purchaser has yet to be discovered. 1t will
not cause hair to grow on vanished gourd;
but where ever the roots of the hirsute fibers
remain undisturbed it will cause them to put
forth new shoots, and in all cases where the
hair has become thin it will increase its vol
ume. nov11-eodlw&1w

Two very high-sprited lads at the Georgia
State University became involved in quarrel
recently, and concluded to settle it according
to the approved code. Arrangements were
made for the contest, but the surgeon to
whom they applied dissuaded them from their
fell intent, and now they have been expelled
from the institution, and gone crying home
to otheir mammas.

County Organization.

We have read the plan of the county
organization proposed by General
Wheat, of Wheeling, published in the
REGISTER, which is proposed as an
alternative to the general plan to be
prescribed in the Constitution. 1t is
proposed that this plan be submitted to
the people along with the Constitution,
and be adopted only by such counties
as prefer it to the old county court
system embodied in the Constitution.
In our opinion the alternative proposed
by General Wheat is infinitely prefera,
bic to the plan reported by the COM
mittee having the matter in charge, as
far as its application to this county is
concerned, and would, We doubt not
be adopted by our people. We trust
the Convention will, at least, give the
people an opportunity to determine fol-
themselves as between the plan reported
by the Judiciary committee, and the
alternative of General Wheat. Ger
tainly this is not asking too much

The Ballot.

We announced last week that the
committee in the Convention having the
matter in charge had reported in favor
OF the ballot system OF voting. We
now have the satisfaction OF announ-
cling that their report has been adopted
by the Convention, and that the ballot
system prevails. This is well. 1t is
in accordance with the views and
desires of three.fourths of the voters Of
this county, and we have not the
slightest doubt that it meets the views
OF a like majority OF the voters OF the
State. Had the Convention foolishly
adopted the old viva vocs system, it
ould have insured the defeat of their
Constitution beyond all peradventure.
In this matter, at least, they have
struck the popular chord, whatever else
they may do in other matters. The
only drawback to the ballot system is
that one or two very high toned and
highstrung gentlemen may conclude
that the ballot system is an infringe
ment on their independence and man.
