STRANGE STRIKES have occurred in England
before now, but the latest is still the oldest.
Richmonds four curates adopted the popular
argument of refusal to perform their duties
against their vicar AS they formed the entire
force of that class of laborers in the town the
curates event OUT ona Sunday morning, con-
fident of decisive victory. They did not,
however, place a proper estimate upon the
vicarious resources of capital and of modern
invention which has made lightning an errand
messenger. Their energetic superior ordered
up reintorcements of curates by telegraph, and
in spite of the detection of his reapers in the
harvest field of souls was able to get through
ten services in two churches in the course of
the day. Those striking curates were them
selves struck, and learned too late that the at
tempt to deprive the people Of spiritual light
like the plot of the gasAstokers to leave Lon
don in the dark was futile, while themselves
were the persons most injured by their contu.

The Press, Pulpits and the New Year.
The religious papers come to us this week
with full announcements that we have entered
upon new year. As will be seen below
several Of our exchanges speak also of the
recent fires in this city, though no new light
is thrown upon the subject by the wisdom Of
our religious brothers Sectarian bitterness,
except In few Instances, seems to be SO far
forgotten, perhaps IN the lingering fulness Of
holiday good will.
The Independent appears in q new and i'm
proved shape, and with green cover, an
nouncing 'a happy New Year." 1t is now
the same size as Hdrpers Weeky. Its leading
editorial subject is "Monasticism, which 1t
undertakes to show has affected a portion Of
Professionalism It ascribes to mental lnfirmity
the restriction of legitimate social pleasure,
and asks if the Creator was so ignorant when
making man as to leave reconstruction for
these sapient ascetics
Mental deformity is, indeed, a much more COM
mon thing than bodily deformity. and 1t il a Ia
inevitable fact that much OF, o. IL Is que 70 perverted
man protests that he cares nothing for laughter OK
recreation he only indicates that he has succeede
in impairng his own manhood. He may be q very,
,leyout and excellent man, but he Is not CON-
plete man, and his experience Is no law for other
people.
Among other articles in the weeks, issue ara.
''what Do the People Expect?" by the Hon 3
Henry Wilson, and Thoughts for the New
Year." by the Hon. Schuyler Colfax.
The Christian Union, in speaking of the new !,
year, impugns the accuracy of the tradition.
which preachers so delight in dwelling upon
that the Saviour was born in the Winter sea-
son. New Years Day with us is only second
to Christmas, and to the most stoid it is an
epoch-a new DEPARTURE
II we would, we could not escape the influence
of New Years Day. The most morally tnrlltieSs OF
us will take some meagre account Oh MS spiritual
stock then and open new account with Heaven,
though ali the old bad debts be carried over the
nare and the best of US, meaning to be better,
cannot quite keep up to the high level Of his aim
SO that there Is deep sepse OF riendiness in the
knowledge tbat all the world IL about the same err
rand-the making OF a bitter chart for the mortal
iourney at the same tim. and this sense Is deep
ened by the equal knowledge that all these charts
will fall little or The wise man said at is better
that thou shoudst not vow than that thou shouldst
vow andn pay" but, looking at humanity to-.
pethcr 1t seems cea' that the very act OF aspira-
ton AID resolve IL ennobling, and that, falling
back rom IL to lower performance, the perform
ance s less low by reason OF the high resolve.
