An earnest writer in IN Ohio new spapcr
(7Le D0yfon DemOcrdD holds the following
doctrine: 1--WE are compelled 10 regard the
"Y. ". G. \. as n parasitic growth upon the
"Chrisian Church which saps The foundations
"of her health and prosperity, aud is Il silent
"bnt most effective protest against bcrmethods.'

"hcrself of these means Such are the opin
ions of a person zcalously religious; and while
we may not adopt, We are yet bound 10 respect
them.
1t is hardly necessary for Us to point out
what is historically true, that the Church has
always accepted aid outside OF herself. Not
to seek proof aud illustration of tbs from her
cally annals we have in confirmation of our
statement only TO point TO the great number of
Law associations which are at present engaged ia
the work of disseminating religious truth--trdci
societies, Bible societies, temperance and
moral reform and Sunday-school societies, to
mention no Others. The very preaching which
is at this time attracting the create It attention
is that OF u layman. This, admit, may be
going very far toward IN independence of ven
cradle and prescribed methods, and We can
easily understand how clergymen of particular
opinions may disapproye of it. But the Young
Meu', Christian Associations if we comprehend
their character, do not, even So far as
experimental religion is concerned, under
take specially the conversion of souls. Their
labor rather is to put the wrong-doer in the
right way, and to help the maker of profes-
sion to be true to it. Their very plans show
that they have no intention OF arrogating to
themselves the appropriate work OF the
Church. They are her servants, sent out

could not exist without her. She IL the
breath of their nostrils, their beginning and
end, and they bear her name; they DO worS
in which from her peculiar constitution IL u
impossible for her to engage. They are her
unordaned ENJOYS, going into the highways
and byways, and entreating and kindly COM
pelling the erant to como in.
Before the methods of these Christian Asso-
Citations are denounced, we hold that what they
have really undertaken should be distinctly
understood Their main business is the pro-
motion of good morals, az one condition OF
true religious life. Putting aside for the pres
ent distinctly religious considerations, we cannos
but regard with favor the work which these young
men do in promoting good habits and inmultiply-
ing the number of wise, happy and well or
dered lives. Here is youth who frequents
gambling houses and brothels; is full OF un-
clean desires and pitiful purposes; Is coarse
in his tastes, sensual in all his ways, ana on
the high road to ruin spiritual and material.
His associates are birds of a like feather, ana
it is q very unprOmising kind of plIimaSe' III
is true that his character may not bo so oad
as his conduct. Very probably he may DC
persuaded to become better man. New 1ofk
to-day is full of young prodigals who are
sduaadeung health and time and strength ana
money in foolcries which can bring only pre-
mature decay and death. Yet these ill-staired
lads have also good qualities and may need
only word iuy and seasonably spoken 10
bring them to sense Of the error OF their
WAYS. Now, we believe that through tho eX-
istence Of Christian Associations here ana
everywhere else such words are much more
Frequently spoken than they would otherwise be,
and that many lad has been saved from iinal
ruin through their interposition. We would not
place too much stress upon the value OF good
morals; but. whether q man joins chlrch or
not, il is better for him to be chaste and
tcmprrnte and industrious. Certainly man
who gives I'D bad habit has at least taken
one STEP however short, toward the very
highest spiritual culture. Complete regencra-
tion may be very far from him; but would 1t
he any nearer if he went on doing the things
which he ought not to dol
We may well beg those who sneer at the
works of young Christian men to take heed
lest an infinite mischief be done. The age Is
in no humor for unnecessary ascetlclsm. IN
spite of rcyiyals the tendency of society is not
too much toward living piety. Speculation
never was bolder, skepticism never more
active. cayi never bitterer, the dlaloctcs OF
disbelief never more acute. Surely this is no
time for insisting upon non-essentials.

tho complcto success and the disastrous failure
of the plan.
The disposition of some Congressional states
men will be to reject altogether. or modify as
to date, the repeal of the Legal Tender act AZ
70 future contracts. But this repeal is an in
dispensable part of the plan. Without 1t the
funding of legal tenders, in bonds bearing only
four per cent interest, might not proceed even
at the moderate rate proposed. Nor Is the
date immatcral for the Secretary has evil
IDENTIFY considered that business arrangements
will not he made with certainty that the
repeal will ever so into effect If the date
should be put later than the Inauguration OF
the next President. Agitation for repeal OF
the repeating act itself would lie constant;
the question would loo sharply discussed in the
Presidential campaign; and uncertainty would
attach to all business engagements extending
beyond the date fixed. But if a law should be
passed providing chat paper should cease to
be legal tender Jan. l, 1877, except as to
prior contracts there would be certainty
that the act could not be disturbed prior to
that date, and when it has once taken effect
the agitation for its repeal will cease.
Evidently the Secretary recommended re-
tirement of only S2,000,000 IN legal tenders
monthly because Congress would probably
have refused larger power. We shall rejoice
exceedingly if even this moderate retirement
by funding may bo secured, in connection
with the other measures proposed, but confess
that we have not unlimited faith in the wis
dom of Congress. Secretary Bristow however,
has done his duty; has submitted plan
which is simple, moderate in its operation, and
yet effective and deserves the hearty thanks
of all who care for the public welfare and
honor.

Regarded merely as political move to re-
store the waning influence of the DiSraeh
administration, the purchase of the Kh6dive's
interest in the Sucz Canal was master
stroke of policy. Our London letter describes
the rare experience of the British Government
in finding its act the subject of applause from
men of all parties and shades of opinion. For
once Englishmen have varied from their ira
ditional custom of grumbling, and are rubbing
their hands with satisfaction. Not often does the
payment by its rulers of a large sum OF money
give pleasure to the people of any country.
The true cause of this marked awakening of
popular sentiment is probably feeling OF
relief from the imputation long cast upon the
policy Of England, that it was supine and
powerlcss in respect to all foreign affairs.
