fcckOIs are men OF large Weana. VINO na7o G4fo1
literally, and intend to give more. They ar
now as busy as bees in providing the rest OF thu
money, aud ale confident OF accomplishing theil
Intentions.
THO question Of throwing open parish grave
vards to Dlsserters for the burial Of their deal
according to their respective burial services il
discussed with much warmth in England. The
bill proposing this change, known as the Morgan
BILL was rejected last year, and it ia to be
brought up again at the present session Of Par
lament. 1t has strong opposition from the
Bishops, but its friends think it will pass. The
Bishop Of Gloucester aud Bristol admits that
there is grievance, and thinks that its only
possible romedy is by tho provision OF cene-
teries wherever they may be demanded by some
fixed proportion OF the ratepayess. But no Gov
ero,nent, nnless hard pressed, would be likely to
propose such measure as this, which would
add another ounce to the burdened back Of the
latepaycr; and Mr.. Osborne Morgan's bill cor
taiuy will not pass; honce tho question ia likely
to remain unsettled.
The Rev. e. II. Hepworsh's church ip New
York is to be sold ut auction in March, under
foreclosure of mortgage. Burielgh states
that "tAe builder who holds the second mort
gage says the concern shall not so ior any
enty-fiTo thousand dollars would be a fair price
for the church aud lots rs the market goes. II
tho builder Is as good as his word, the Society
will not attempt to biz it in. Once out of the
uOusc, alt. depNQIsn hfld tue Society WILL come
downtown mud build structure that it can pay
for and command" And - Burleigh" explains
the cause OF all the Socosys troubles A
wealthy, supposedly millionaire, merchant
told Nr. Hepworth TO so ahead, build church
to suit him, and ho (the merchant) would foot
the bill if the fund fell short. Just as the house
was completed, tho merchant died. leaving no
million behind hin-only enough to make his
family comfortable. This should DO a warning
to ministers not to put their trust in m!ionairos
1t the temper OF the Baptist denomination is
correctly represented in the resolutions of tho
Convention OH tue jeffrey case, tue 150 open
communion ministers {and whatever parishes
arc on that slde) in the 1900 belonging to tho
denomination have the alternative OF recansa-
tion Or secession. 1t will not be very consld-
cradle split, If it happens. Tho Rey. J. B.
q Baptist ministers meeting in New York, were
somewhat SARCASTIC. They proposed to rcpudi-
ate any newspaper editor who puts the sermons
Of one Charles II. Spurgeon in his paper with
out at least prefacing them with disayowa1 Of
his opeu-comlnunlou opinions 10 state that by
tho fright to inquire " was meant the right to
search the Scriptures for confirmation OF old
opinions, but not for the formation OF new ones
nnd therefore they discard the conduct Of any
brother who forms IN individual opinion and
that the 'iiberiy TO dider" WAS restricted to
differing from other denominations, and not
from the ma ajority Of the Conference. In this
it is interesting to read that the
London Baptist Association, formed lon years
ago by ei1ty-1our churches, on platform broad
enough to include Bap,ists OF DIFFERENTIATION
beiet, has now 13l churches with 9.,95l mem-
bers cGuaectel with it.
