In me reign eternally?
Rev. j. E. Twitchell. of the Euclid
avenue Congregational church, Cleve-
land, has received very pressing call
to the South Church of Brooklyn, of
which DR.. II. NJ. Storrs was recently
pastor.
Rev. e. B. Walsworth. d. D., one of
the pioneer ministers in California, and
member of tire late General Assembly,
has accepted the invitation to take
charge of an English-speaking church
in Yokohama, Japan.
Mr.. l.. d. Evans, student in the
Bangor Congregational Seminary, is
Welshman, who two. years ago was
miner i'll Pennsylvania, and could not
speak word of English. He now ranks
one of the foremost in the Seminary.
The Roman Catholic Governments all
over the world are indirectly, but most
effectually, resisting the temporal power
of the Pope, as much SO as Victor Eman-
uel in Italy. Well may the old man
pray to be delivered from his friends.
The Swiss Government too maintains
its stand, having semi-offfcially inti-
mated that it will not receive an envoy
belonging to the Clerical party in the
room of the French Minister, who has
rendered his resignation. The ghostly
tyranny of Rome has lost its power even
to frighten the people of Europe. They
only laugh at the bugbear.
Late dispatches from Rio Janerio state
that the conflict between the clergy and
secret societies continued to agitate Bra
zil. The Ministry had taken strong
grounds on the subject, land were gaining
support for their policy. In the Lower
House the Premier made speech
defending the Free Masons, and
promised that energetic measures
would be taken to prevent the bishops
and the Jesuits from interfering with
the society.
The POPE's TRIALs.-The troubles of
Pho Mono and the Jesuits, instead of di-
minishing only "multiply and still in
crease" The contest with the German
Government goes on without any finch
ing on the part of the Emperor, and the
Pope is compelled to succumb at every
stage. The Roman Catholic bishops OF
Germany having declared that they can
not accept the new laws regulating the
training of the clergy, the official Jour
nal has published an article indicating
that the Government intend to pay nc
attention to the protest and to enforce
the laws.
If there is one virtue which most COM
mends Christians, it is that of kindness
it is to love the people of God, to love
the world, to love all. But how MANY
have we in our churches, of crab-tree
Christians, who have mixed such a vast
amount of vinegar and sucll tremendu.
Gus quantity of gall in their constitu.
tions, that they can scarcely speak ONT
good word to you. They imagine i
impossible to defend religion except by
passionate ebullitions; they can no
speak for their dishonored Master with
out being angry with their opponent
and if anything is awry, whether it b.
in the house, the church, or anywher
else, they conceive it to be their duty t,
act their faces like flint, to defy every
body. They are like isolated icebergs
no one cares to go near them. The,
float about on the sea of forgetfulness
until at last they are melted and gone
and though, good souls, we shall be hap
py enough to meet them in heaven, W
are precious glad to get rid of them Of
earth. They were always so unamiabl
IN disposition, that we would rathe
live an eternity with them in heave
than five minutes Oh earth. Be. we nc
thus. Initiate Christ in your lovin
spirit; speak kindly, act kindly, and d
kindly, that men may say of you, ''H
has been with~Jesus."
