CHURCH OF THE COVENANT
CHRISTIANITY IN BRAZIL.


Yesterday afternoon in the above church, OF
Thirty-Afth street and Park avenue, Rev. George
Chamberlain gave q very interesting summary of the
Christian work in Brazil especially that Of the Presby
terian missions in that country The speaker SAID
1--WE may never forget without serious damage
spiritual interest that the Christian field is the whole
world The thought OF Christ not that we should
possess alone cities, neghborhood and coun-
try but the boundess unverse-he uttermost parts OF
the earth God formed the and dry land and every
foot Of 1t for a purpose beg OF you, then,
to think Of Brazil related to the Lord
Jesus Christ l need no apology TO speak
of briefly geographically" The speaker then alluded
South America saying, that in the of its square
miles cqualed the whole OF the United Statesf we
excepted British America. Its great and glorious
Amazon was unsurpassed the GLOBE receiving II
does the tributaries OF hundred rivers, while the
great system OF waters embraced an empire with un
mitabe resources which merely tue scratching tho
earth by its people has forced recognition IRON the
world Of commerce.

VIII ATS IN A NAME?

The nations of earth are now exer-
cised at the bestowal of a new title
upon Her Majesty, the Queen of Great
Britain, which was granted by Par
lament In consequence of what may
be termed revival of the ancient te-
nacity among the crowned heads to
the distinctions and relative conside-
rations attached to hereditary titles.
That Victoria is now An Empress re-
ally gives her no more executive pow.
er, nor does it add to her emoluments
as the head OF the nation than when
she was simply Queen. In ancient
days when the rank of Kings was es-
tablished, the power of these rulers
was limited, and in the same nation
there were often many Kings. The
dictionary gives the definition of King
as ruler of nation-one who has
supreme authority. An empire is de-
fined as the country or countries under
the jurisdiction of an Emperor. The
Emperor, it will be thus seen, may be
the supreme ruler over a number of
Kingdoms. The German Empire, as
now constituted, is composed of an
assemblage of Kingdoms and states.
Originally Kings were but the chief
rulers over comparatively small do
minions. By conquest aud voluntary
union for defense empires were created
aud the title of Emperor has for CEN
turies been recognized as having pre-
cedence in diplomatic intercourse and
international standing. The great
powers OF Europe are now, save
France, under Imperial rule, and yet
it is all conventionallty. The con.
stituticnal power of these sovereigns
is not increased except in the case of
Russia, where the Car exercises prob
ably more imperious sway of author
ity than either the Emperor of Ger
many or of Austria. History tells us
that the title of Emperor, or Inaper-
dtor -commander-originally was be-
slowed upon the chief commanders of
great armies" Cesar was the first to
acquire it, forty-five years before
Christ. All governments of the Old
World obtained their existence from
the exercise of the military power, and
upon the ruins of republics and king
doms empires have been established.

THE Republican State Convent,

The Republican State Convention
declared war on contingency. But
the contingency can never occur, and
therefore the declaration can never
amount to anything more than de-
clasation. This is gratifying to the
lovers of peace and discouraging to the
admirers Of war. The contingencies on
which the train is to be fired are the
pensioning of Confederate soldiers, the
payment for cotton legally seized, and
the liquidation of claims for slaves set
free. If these things happen the Con-
vention will dig up the hatchet, paint
its face and go on the war-path. But
II they do not happen, and they never
will, our Republican friends will con-
tinue the rebellion, continue pecula-
tion In Office and continue denouncing
Democrats a. traitors.
