The narrow way of life is broad
enough for men, who carefully, gently,
evenly walk in it.
For God weigbeth more with how
much love man worketh, than how
much he doeth. He doeth much that
loveth much.
Bishop James said, at the anniversary
of the Sunday School Union, "The song
literature of the modern Sunday school
contains one grain of sense, one of mel
sody, one of religion, and even of nom
sense 20
So much does Queen Victoria care for
the comments of the English papers on
her participation in a Presbyterian

ted, royal Chaplain.
Or. Armitage asks, "why is it that
infidelity has no hymns ?'' Think of
that a minute. 1t is good to sing of
heaven, but to sing of non-existence, the
pleasures of nowhere,-we it is not
singable, that is very true.
All our sufferings are ordered by a
Father; tits the portion our Father
gives us to drink; and whatever bitter
Ingredient there is in it, still it is of a
Fathers procuring, and why suspect it
to be poison, and be afraid of it?
The Baptist Union well says: 'sThere
is no question that the power of evan
gelical religion over the minds of men
is on the increase. and even RATIONAL
lists are compelled to confess that no
other belief works moral reformation
among the people like this"

tion of Mr.. Storrs' and DIR. Budding
tln's churches in regard thereto.
The annual meeting of the North
American Relief Society, for the indi-
gent Jews in Jerusalem, Palestine, took
place in this city, on the 18th inst. 1t

Rev. William Mcclure, of Washing
ton City, has sent a letter to Bishop
Whittingham, of the diocese of Mary
land. announcing his withdrawal from
the Protestant Episcopal Church, and
his union with the Reformed Episcopal
Church. Mr.. Mcclure is son of the

An Act to exempt persons who relig-
lously observe the seventh day of the
week as the Sabbath from penalties, is be-
fore the Pennsylvania Legislature. The
Rev. A. III. Lewis recently appeared by
request before that body and explained
the nature of the relief sought. In the
course of his address he observed that
every State in the Union except Penn
sylvania has granted immunities to the
Seventh Day Baptists from the Sunday
laws.
The Jews are in the habit of reciting
in their synagogues prayer of resigna-
tion to the divine will on every recur-
ring anniversary of a parents death
Recently at a synagogue in England,
this prayer was calculated in public by
an aged gentleman for the ninety-sixth
time, he having lost his father in infan-
cy, almost century ago. The old man,
one Barnet Hyams. a tailor, is still in
complete possession of his faculties, and
can even read without the aid of specta-
cles.
God has a church. 1t has lived
through all changes, outlived all enc
mics. 1t is here to-day, palpable, a
presence, power, seen, felt, acknowl-
edged of men. Zion is a city, not a Wis
ion, with solid foundations, or men
would not dig about them towers, bull
warks, palaces, strongholds, or men
could not walk about them and study
how to assault them. The Getty of our
God" beautiful for situation on the

Of her citizens, and in the works of her
people.
The gospel gloomy 1t is an anthem
from the harps of heaven, the music of
the river of life washing it's shores on
high and pouring in cascades from the
earth. Not so cheerful was the song of
the morning stars, nor the shout of the
sons of God so joyful. Gushing from
the fountains of eternal harmony, it was
the first heard on earth in a low tone OF
solemn gladness uttered in Eden by the
Lord God himself. This gave the key
note of the gospel song. Patriarchs
caught it up and taught it to the gener-
ations following. 1t breathed from the
harp of the psalmists, and rang like a
clarion from tower and mountain tops

The religious interest in the churches
OF various denominations throughout
the country continues. Intelligence
from numerous places which have not
been previously mentioned will be scat
tered throughout the present number of
the Obseruer. One marked feature of
the work is the cordial spirit of Chris
tian union which is so generally mani
tested. All denominations work har-
moniously together rejoicing III each
others prosperity as the prOsperity of
the common cause. Old divisions are
healed and animosities laid aside. Is
not this an evidence that God is truly
pouring out his spirit upon his people
1t is the spirit of. love to him, love to
opeyanpther, love TO the souls that are
perishing- May this spirit prevail in
the Church and pervade it more and
more.--N. Y. Cbseruer.
The CAurchaaan says that there is a
generally exaggerated idea of the wealth
of the Trinity Corporation. Leaving
out of account the unproductiye part OF
the estate. and estimating that portion
only which yields an income, the prop
erty, in all probability, is worth from
seven to eight millions The entire in
come, from all sources of revenue, dur
ing the last financial year, was, in
round numbers, about $500, 900. OF
this income, a large part is consumed by
the expenses of the estate. About one
tenth is given away to poor churches
outside the parish. Not one dollar is
boarded, and the entire income is spent
for the purpose of the sacred trust. The
