In prayer has accomplished such mira
Giles Of charity in England, is to revisit
and preach In this country next year.
Chicago is about TO lose one Of il
most popular preachers, the Rev. Ed
ward Sullivan, of Trinity Episcopal
Church, having signified his intention
TO accept a call to ST. Georges Church
in Montreal.
Among the South Sea Islands, the
Free Church Of Scotland has maintained
a mission-shiD for 70 years. Her name
is the Dayspring. Her annual expense
is about Sl,250, which Is raised mostly
by contributions from Sunday-school
children. The London Missionary So
ciety, the Wesleyans, and the Episcopal
lians, all have mission-ships plying

In some parts OF California the
state Of religion seems TO De unpromis-

The condition of the churches in Napa
is thus tersely stated: The Episcopal,
Baptist, and Campbellite Churches are
without pastors. The Rev. Mr.. Rhees,
Of the Baptist Church, and the Rev. Mr..
Moore, OF the Episcopal Church, have
resigned and gone East.
The plan Of confederation Of South
ern and Northern Churches grows visi-
bly, in favor in the South. Such meth
Cd Of uniting Northern and Southern
Methodism was proposed by Southern
Methodist over year ago. DIR. Stuart
Robinson has suggested a similar
scheme for the union Of Presbyterians.
He would divide the Northern Presby-
terian Church into three or four prov
inces, with Provincial Assemblies, and
then would combine these with the
Southern and the Canadian Church in
one General Assembly The Provincial
Assemblies would be judicial and the
General Assembly an executive body.
The Churches, North and South, will no
doubt grow up ~ such plans Of union
in time.
An effort il making in the Reform
ed Episcopal Church to do away with
the observance Of Lent as a church fast.
At recent conference Of clergymen in
Philadelphia it was decided To recon-
mend 10 the General Standing Commit
tee the policy Of abandoning the services
on the ground that the indulgence in
worldly pleasures before and after Lent
is increased by way Of compensation for
enforced abstention during the season
of fasting, and upon the further ground
that uniform moderation Of life is the
church's great need, and that this may
be better secured without Lenten OBJ
servaLces than with them. The change,
If il shall be made, will be radical
one, and will work wider breach than
ever between the two Episcopal
Churches in this country.
