HALF.LEARNED CRITICS.

The practice of taking advantage of
the early morning for travelling is ne
cessity in the East in order to get the
full benefit of the cooler hours of
day. and to have time for rest and
the repast at noon, when travelling
would be intolerably oppressive and Of
ten dangerous. But while this is the
unvarying practice when proceeding
from day to day on pilgrimage, 1t is
never done on the first day of a depart
ure. On that day the party does not
leave until within few hours of sunset,
and often pitches its tent on the first
night within sight of the place which 1t
has left. This was our uniform expert
ence. The custom, which has all the
authority of law, is very ancient and
allusion to it can be discovered in jew
;sh writer's at least a century before
Christ. The reason in which it appears
to have originated was the very simple
one that if, on the first evening of I'M
loading the baggage, it was found that
ANYTHING of value had been left behind,
or anything indispensable to the journey
unprovided, there might yet be time to
return and procure it. This custom IL
Illustrates one of the most beautiful pas
sages in the history Of our Lord. When
% Joseph and Mary were on their way
back from Jerusalem, on the first occa-
E. sion of their visit with Jesus to the
: Temple at the feast, they discovered
when hating at sunset, that their won
drous child was not in their company
The fact has long been used as stock
objection with infdels, and with inter
prefers who dwell on the border-land Of
infdelity, and it has ever been pickec
up and appropriated by Strauss, as cast
7 ing doubt on the reality of the entir
narrative. Was it credible, it has beef
said that our Lords parents could hav
!; taken long days journey, and neve
Il once have inquired for child so deserV
a ing of their love? This is another In

J. origin in half-knowledge. Joseph an

What makes yon green hill so beau
tiful? Not the outstanding peak or
steady elm, but the bright sward which
clothes its slopes, composed Of innumer-
able blades of grass. Tt is of small
things that great life is made up ;
and he who will acknowledge no life as
great, save that which is built up OF
great things, will find little in Bible
characters to admire or copy.

You may say what you please about
the inspiration of Scripture, as long as
there are tears in the world, and sorrows
that make them, as long as there are
sins and fears which guilt breeds in
men, so long will the books of the New
Testament be considered authoritative
and for this simple reason, that they
bring balm to the wants of men where
mems wants are most immedicable with
any ordinary dealing.

The little things which you do for

ROMAN CATHOLIC.


The orthodox or Old Catholic move
ment is steadily gaining ground, even in
France. There is now an Old Catholic
committee in Paris; and we hear that
it has recently applied to the Municipal
Council for the use of a chapel belong
ing to the city, and not now occupied.
1t is expected that, as soon as an Old
Catholic church is opened in Paris, sew
eral priests will join the Able Michaud
in conducting the services in it, using
the ancient liturgy thoroughly purged
from the errors of Popery.
A Vienna correspondence, dated
March 3lst, asserts that the Croatian
Bishop Strossmayer, having steadily re-
fused to acknowledge the Infallibility,
has received missive from the Roman
Curia wherein he is informed that un-
less, within the term of six weeks, he
gives in his adhesion to the dogma, he
will be deposed and communicated.
Strossmayer's friends declare that he
will not yield; and the Old Catholics
of Germany are said to be looking to Kim
for the episcopal element which has been
lacking in their movement.
FREE CHRISTIAN CHURCH OF ITALY.
We have been furnished with the
declaration of principles and the consti-
tuition of the Free Church of Italy. The
declaration consists of eight articles en-
bodying the essential doctrines of the
evangelical faith. The constitution de.
fines the Free Christian Church of Italy
as formed out of the various Christian
churches which adhere to the declara
ton and the constitution. The churches
are independent in local affairs. Whel
in the same town "there are differen
groups of believers, resulting from tn
preaching of different laborers," the,
may form single local church or pre-
serve their reciprocal independence
Gifts are recognized and acknowledge
by each particular church at will, bu
cannot be exercised in other churche
without previous recognition and az
knowledgement by the General Assem-
bly,. The General Assembly has IL
power of interdicting ministers who a
found unworthy, after regular procee
ings have been held against them. II
General Assembly meets annually, al
is composed of deputies from the unit,
churches. Each church may send on
two, or three representatives. 1t exc

To PRESERVE EGGs.-Nearly fill q
deep earthen vessel "a potchurn is the
bcsD with fresh-laid eggs, closely and
regularly packed in with the small ends
downward. In another vessel put as
much quicklime as you think will turn
enough water to fill up the egg vessel
into the consistency of cream. Let the
lime and water stand two or three days,
stirring it frequently, and then if thick
enough, pour it over the eggs, filling the
vessels quite up. Take care to place
the egg vessel in some corner where it
will not be likely to be disturbed, and
the eggs will keep good any length Of
time.
