predominates in the character Of person
when he enters the world Of spirits, that
good will eradicate from the soul all
evil. II, on the other hand: there Is a
preponderance ofevil, that evil will smoth-
er out all the little good that may exist at
the hour Of death, and the man
will 20 on SHINING throughout
eternity. The person will be abandon
ed to the vice he has cultivated in
the world-abandoned TO envy, anger,
jealousy, to all the evil passions growing
worse and worse, and getting farther and
farther from God. All restraint Is remov-
ed, and "hope never comes that comes to
all" The vices that he chose to cultivate
in this probationary state, aided by all
their brothers-for all straintisremoved,
get complete mastery Of him, i and how
can soul under the full sway OF the pas.

What more fearful hell than that can con-
cepion conceive, or imagination picture?
This seems to be good reasoning We do

that the Scriptures do directly teach the

than that Of piling Bible text upon text,

TIE Rev. Phillips Brooks continues on
his way regardless OF rubrics and canons,
On a Sunday evening recently he preached
at the Shepard Congregational Church,
Cambridge, Mass, using no part OF the
Protestant Episcopal service, wearing only
the black gown, and making a ierYent
though brief extempoaneous prayer al
ter the sermon.
TIE Methodist Bishops take no stock in
the outside cry for q modification OF the
itinerancy. They soy out of the 10000
preachers stationed during the past year
not one declined Ito accept disappointment,
and that no charge declined to receive the
minister sent by the Bishop. Nevertheless
there is a dissatisfaction in the city
churches among the "smartest" preachers.
= TIE Rev. Washington GLADDEN. (Con-
gregational Church), in the Sunday AJfer-
noon, refers to the late Prophetic Confer
encc as 80 compound OF liberalism, ritual
ism and pessimism. On Thanksgiving
Day he preached a sermon to his people
in Springfield, Mass, from Ecclesiastes
vii, 10, in opposition to the pre-millennial
doctrine, asserting that tho world Is grow
ing "purer and truer and juster and bet

Az exciting controversy has arisen out
OF an announcement made at the laying Of
the foundation stone OF the new buildings
connected with the Presbyterian College
in Belfast, Ireland. The Secretary OF the
Faculty said that the windows OF the col
lege chapel would be stained glass, the
gift OF Scotch lady, and that they would
be adorned with representations Of the
Burning Bush and an open Bible. The
Presbytery OF Limsvady few days after
ward condemned the proposal in the
strongest terms, because the use OF emblems
is ritualistic.
THERE seems to be a DRIFT OF Presbyter-
ian opinion toward disciplining the pre-
miIlenarfah brethren. One whom the
Erungclia calls "a prominent and esteemed
pastor" deprccates such action, pleading
that there is no violation Of "the stan
dards" in the belief, however irregular it
may be, and even expecting Infinite
good to come out OF more vivid realiza-
ton OF the person OF Christ, and Of the
absolute certainty OF his second personal
coming to Judge the world" And he
advances this sound opinion: "Better far
than church court, for the promotion OF
sound views OF Divine truth, are the pull:
pit, the rostrum and IN untrammeled
press"

While here Mr.. Snodgrass delivered four
very able sermons-two on Saturday and
two on Sunday. 1t was our fortune to
hear his Sunday night sermon only. The
text was the familiar words OF Peter:
"And II the righteous scarcely be saved,

conclusion that those who die impenitent

that the Sacred Scriptures do not directly
say that the future punishment will b

millenarian brethren are to be tolerated

IT seems that there has been q falling
out among the Reformed Episcopal breth'
rem OF England. Bishop Sugden, who, it
will be remembered, was presbyter Of
the "Free Church OF England" and deriv-
ed Episcopal orders lastspring from Bishop
Gregg, to whom he was appointed Coad-
jutor.Bishop, has issued the following adj
vertisement:
reformed Episcopal Church'-Com:
munications relating to this Church should
hereafter be addressed to the Right Reyer-
ened Bishop Sugden, TeddingtOn. The
new scheme recently set forth by Bishop
Gregg OF Scotland has no sanction from
the Reformed Episcopal Church, as now
existing in the United States, Canada, Der.
muda and Great Britain"
THE Contemporary RSrielr gives as follows
the exact language respecting atheism re-
Gently used by Max Miller In WestmlnIs'
ter abbey: "There is an atheism which is
unto death there is anotheratheism which
is the very liie-blood Of all true faith. It
is the power of giving up what, in our best,
our most honest moments we know to DO
no longer true; 1t Is the readiness to re.
place the less perfect, however dear, how
ever sacred it may have been to us, by the
more perfect, however much 1t may be de-
tested, as yet, by others. 1t Is the true
seIf.surrendcr, the true selt-sacrilice, the
truest trust in truth, the truest faith.
Without that atheism, religion would long
ago have become u petrltied hypocrisy
without that atheism, no new religion, nc
reform, no reformation, no resuscitatton
would ever have been possible; without
that atheism, no new life is possible fol
any one OF u.s."
TUR latest number Of the German "0lt
Catholic Church Paper" contains regu
Ilation, signed by the Bishop, respecting
the marriage Of ecclesiastics. The Bishop
orders ~ that In each instance the prizes
shall inform the bishop OF the name, posi-
ton, age, etc, OF the person no proposes
to marry, and OF his ability to maintain {
family; t2) that he shall obtain the con
