PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH OF
ENGLAND.

now IT Is CONSTITUTED.
A correspondent of the London Times, whose
letter appears In that paper Of June Il. gives
the following account Of the Presbyterian
Church Of England: ..
This Church, to be formally constituted ut Liver

We shall hope to find this error In some meas
urc rectttied in the paper we are promised on the
causes OF the present condition of religious
thought. But, meanwhile, not the least intcr-
cstiDg passage, perhaps, of the essay is that to
which We have already referred, in which Mr..
Gladstone makes the distinction, which he pro-
cceds to neglect, between opinions and princf-
pies, and perhaps an autobiographcal interest
attAclcs to the following Very just observations.
He says:

Of the Evangelical communities Of the United
States, describes them as baying "grown
up in new soil, and far from the pos
sbly chilling shadow OF National Estab-
lisfments Of religion" The other day. ut
the Political Economy Club, Mr.. Gladstone said
"hc must confess that very long observation and
practice in public affairs made him from year to
year more and more sensible OF the objections
to eRdowments, and less and less convinced OF
their countervailing advantages to the commu-
nity." The combination OF two such utter
anccs in one month seems to open up the vista
OF q new I: course" in Mr.. Gladstone's etclesi-
astical thought.

was needed, and would be required In the yicin-
ity Of Chicago, near enough to afford It's occu-
pants quick and ready access to this centre OF
the Northwest, and yet far enough to get away
from the din and smoke Of great city. Most
agreed that the Lake Shore vas the true place
for many reasons. among Others accessibility,
water, climate, and scenery.
Lake Bluff" is the outgro'sth Of this desire
and conviction. It is on the shore OF Lake
Michigan just where its bluffs are highest and
most picturesque, 30milcsnorthof Chicago, aud
equally accessible from this city aud Milwaukee.
It is In the midst of the largest area Of forest
within easy reach: The broad lake, the high
bluff, the deer, and winding Iayincs, the dense
est OF "God's first temples"
To purchase the property and make The i'm
proTemcnts deemed indispensable for be-
ginning has been, in these times, q
rains have greatly added to these difficult
ties. But patience and energy have
SO far triumphed that we have now better ac-
commodations for camp-mceting than we have
ever been able to offer for the use Of the public,
though these are only the beginnings Of what At
the Chicago d Northwestern Railway the
grounds can be reached by seven trains q day
(Sundays cxceptcd), going north. Six trains
day start from or stop at the grounds coming
south. One can leave tie city in the morning,
p. M, a most delightful excursion. A hotel
s2x145 feet, three stories high is ready for occu
patton. The meetings viii be held in

prefer Seats are placed On the bluff overlook
ing the lake, and in different portions OF the

though much of the wood is left in state Ut

knew what man needed when lie Instituted the
Feast Of Tabernaclcs.
Our plan is to make Lake Bluff as place for
great summer assemblies worthy Of the new cell
tury in which it is born, and of the city, in whose
suburbs it is situated. While Mcthodists have
had SO far the labor and expense it is by no
means meant for their exclusive use, ANY other
church or society can procure lots for tents
on the same terms as Methodist church. Min
listers Of other churcncs have been, and always
will be, invited to its pulpit. It is hoped that
other than Methodists will yet hold camp
meetings there. hope to live to see our Pres
byterian brethren hold camp-,neetings on those
grounds, and the Young Mems Christian Asso-
ciation. Nothing would please inc better, and
Ibclicvc nothing would more promote Chris
tian power, than profracted living together at
some such place.

ities.
The camp-mecttng will open at s p. NJ, July
6, and continue till the 14th. The Interstate
Sunday-School Assembly will open the 18th and
continue to the 26th.
My expectation is that these meetings will be

RELIGIOUS THOUGHT.

to WHICH ne PROMISES = ecluC4, uco45aeo ~
Indicate in rude manner what seem to be IN
our day the chief currents of thought concerning
religlon.'' In the present paper he endeaVors
to sketch these currents considered as ELECTS
and facts, while in that which Is to follow he
promises Il to touch the question, how and why
these currents have been put into their
present sharp and unordercd motion.'
The latter will in some respects be the
more interesting part OF this contribution to tile
religious discussion OF the moment. But Its
foundation must be regarded as having been
laid in the observations on the facts Of the
religious world now before us; and just, even
il rough, account Of the actual course Of relig-
ious thought in the present day would probably
be Of more interest than any speculation on its
causes, even by SO eminent person as MIR.
Gladstone. For this purpose Mr.. Gladstone
takes the widest possible sweep within
the limits OF Christendom. He recognizes
ut the outset that many persons are look
ing with hope to tho East, now being 90 rapidly
unveiled, for instruction, II not for fresh in,-
pulse, But he thinks 1t will be time enough to
entertain these anticipations when we know
more than VIC do ut present OF the real nature
of Eastern religions. For the present, at all
events, 'sit is from Christcndom out"ards that

pears to be among the negro races Of
Vast Africa; and It is not there that the

A PEN PORTRAIT OF AT. STEWART.
BY One Who Knew Him.

He dresses in black. His clothes
are well made and fit him perfectly.
His only jewelry consists of plain
gold watch, worth about $500, which
he seldom disturbs from it's place in
his vest pocket. He loathes all un.
necessary adornments. Three small,
plain, ,linen-covered buttons appear on
his shirt bosom. No watch chain is
visible. He wears black beaver hat,
which weighs half pound less than
the heavy gray stove-pipes fashion or
dains shall be worn this Summer.
His hair, of a rejdish-gray, is neatly
dressed at all times. His beard, which
is more tinted with gray than his
hair, is short and trimmed regularly
so as to be kept at the same length all
the year round. Where a cumber-
some moustache ought to be, hair is
never permitted to attain more than
a days growth. He is of slender,
though compact physique. His COM
pleXion is ruddy and bespeaks the best
of health. He always looks as if he
had just left the toilet-table. This
man is seventy-f0ur years of age. In
conversation his keen blue eyes are
never for an instant taken off yours.
His face bears the impress of prudence,
discretion, self-conidence, calmness
impossible to ruffie, and above all of
honesty and truthfulness. He never
speaks loud enough to be heard ten
steps from where he stands. Eaves-
droppers cannot catch even the sound
of his voice. He shakes hands with
you cordially, nay, even warmly. He
is courtesy and politeness itself. His
conversation is always couched in the
refined language of the educated gen.
tleman. He uses no slang. He is
witty, and at times vivacious. He is
no teetotaler: he drinks only at meal
hours; his favorite wines are johann
nisberg, from Prince Metternich's pri-
vate vineyard, the like of which is not
easily found in this country; he is
fond of sherry and Madeira; his wine
cellar contains probably the choicest
wines in America. This mans wealth
is estimated at one hundred millions,
made by him since 1884, in New York
city. He has no children; he has not
single relative on the face of the
earth. He is the last of his race. 1t
is A. T. Stewart.
