EJ WEsroS AND THE AsYLtM.--A

who recently made a visit to this place,
writes as follows to the Beaver Raii-

ES;- DEArN,-WO arc compelled to
perform tho painful duty Of announ-
cling tho death of Mrs. ANNE u. Ross,
wife Of George Ross, Esq, which sad
event occurred at her husbands resi-.
dencc, in this place, on the 4th inst.
The deceased was tho daughter Of
General George A. and Caroline Sum
nor jackson. She was born IN Yves
ton on tue 10Th of October, 1912. On
the goth Of October, 1868, she was uni
ted in marriage to George Ross, Esq,
Mrs. Ross had been afflicted with n
discnseof the lungs; aud had suffered
intensely for some years past. During
the fall aud winter Of 1928, her i'll.
ness increased, and for many weary
months she was confined to her bed
Death did not find her unprcparsd -
she was ready to meet tho loved ones
who had preceded llcr;-and slo loft

ASornER,-scarco is tho ink dry
upon our pen since writing tho above,
than we arc shocked by tho intclFi-
gcncc Of tho death Of DR.. NEWTON
bennett BARNS, of this place. Tho
Good Master called him from earth ON
Friday morning, tho 9th inst. ; and lie
passed away-just as tho sun was RI
siug-calmly as u summer breeze, all
within him being bright and peaceful,
and full Of "that joy which is unspealr-
able, anhpassotli understanding"
DR.. Barns was born in what is now
Marion County, on tho 10th day Of
April, 1907. Ho removed 10 Lewis
County about 80 years ago; and unhil
after the war hc was u successful
practicing physician. A serious acci-
dent, which crippled him, then COM
PEELED him to forcgo tho active prac-
tice Of his profession. Some years ago
hc was appointed Postmaster at Wes-
ton, which position he held up TO tho
time of his death. lie was also Uni
tod States Examining Surgeon.
In tho death Of Dr.. Barns the COM
munity has lost u good citizen I; his
profession au able practitioner, and the
Church an earnest and dcvout Chris
tian. His bcrOavcd wife and children
have the consolation of knowing that
no las only gone before, and now
awaits their coming in tho better
world. w

Old Catholicism; Catholicism in Switzerland
since the last Council; Evangelization of Ro-
man Catholics in France; Professionalism and
Romanism compared in reference to Modern
Civilization; the German Empire and Modern
Ultramontanism; Roman and Reformed Doc
trine of Justification; Religious Liberty;
Rome's Appeal to Educated Protestants; the
Training required to enable Protestant Minis
ters effectually to meet the Intellectual De-
mands of the Age-from all which it
appears that the prosecution OF the
war upon the "mother church" OF Rome
is to be prominent feature of the proceed
ings of the Conference. This is o country OF
religious liberty, and as 'error ceases to be
dangerous when truth is left free to combat
it," and as the Roman Catholic Church, quite
as sincerely as any of the Protestant sects be-
lieves that it teaches the true religion, we
leave this subject of Professionalism and Ro-
manism to the rival churches concerned
There is room enough, and there is work
enough, in spreading the Gospel and in diff
fusing throughout the world the blessings of
Christianity for Protestants and Catholics
We hail this Protestant Evangelical Alliance
as iberalizing movement among the Prot
estant sects, which cannot fail to soften, and,
in the end, to dissipate the existing antago-
nisms between Protestants and Catholics. In
the general harmony which prevails between
Catholics and Protestants in this country of
religious freedom, and in the expansion Of
this great American doctrine, and from its
harmonizing influences, we are confident that
the world to both the great divisions
OF the Christian faith. It is enough
for our present purpose that Christian
unity and charity, though confined
within the pale of Professionalism, are the
objects of this Evangelical Alliance. 1t is
movement in the right direction. 1t is
great advance towards the Sermon on the
Mount, from the time when Calhoun in the
Senate declared the separation Of The Metho-
dist Church South from that church North on
the slavery question as the swapping of one
of the cords which held the union of the States
together.
''How beautiful" says Isaiah, that most
eloquent of the divinely inspired prophets Of
Israel, show beautiful upon the mountains
are the feet of Him that bringeth good tidings,
that publisheth peace, that bringeth good
tidings of good, that publisheth salvation. that
saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth." Such,
we understand, are the good tidings to be
brought before this general conference Of the
Evangelical Alliance, from the four quarters
of the globe, and in this light we recognize
this union of the Protestant churches as one
of the most important and encouraging relig-
ious convocations of the age.
The New York herald., 1873-09-29

was ''The Unknown Quantity in Christ" and
its treatment was worthy of the eminent author
of ''Ecce Deus" That unknown quantity
which continually cropped out in the life and
teachings of Christ was in its manifestations
beneficial, spiritual, self-sacrifcing and :nde-
pendent It was. in short, His divinity-His
deity; and there is in every man an unknown
quantity, which only Christianity can meet
and develop.
DR.. Dillar preached very practical sermon
on the necessity of Immediate repentance, in
the Clinton avenue Protestant Episcopal
church, Brooklyn.
Rev. David Mitchell instituted comparison
between the late Ecumenical Council at
Rome and the approaching gathering of the
Evangelical Alliance, and presented what he
considered the most striking point of differ
ence between the two--a point which is sug-
gestive of the radical and fundamental features
of Romanism and Protestantism-namely
that, whereas the Council of Rome was con-
Quoted with closed doors, the Conference Of
the Evangelical Alliance opens it's doors to the
community and invites public sympathy and
cooperation.
