The Pew Question in England.

Many important subjects were discussed
at the English Church Congress, recently
held AT Sheffield. under the presidency Of
the Archbishop Of York. Among the more
prominent topics considered We're the rela-
tons of the church Ia intemperance. the
present prospects of foreign aud colonial
missions, modern doubts and difficulties con
corning revealed religion, and the import
ancc Of religious ceremonies of marriage
But nothing that came before the Congress
occasioned n livelier debate than the papers
on free and open churches, in which the
practice OF renting pews in parish churches
was heartily denounced on one hand and as
earnestly defended on the other.
The opponents of the clu,+5-pew system
contended that the whole Of the parish
church was to he regarded as a common for
the Pensioners, and that to encrOach upon
IL by tho appropriation Of pews to particu-
lar persons was TO deprive the poor OF their
rlghtful Inheritance. "A poor parshioner,"
said one speaker, "could be baptized or
married in his parish church and buried in
the adjoining churchyard; but he could not,
IN too many cases, be instructed. whore DIVES

lied as II modern innovation, which pewed
in the few and pewcd out the many, and
which, If persisted in, would ultimately over
throw the Church Of England.
The advocates of the pew-renting plan re-
piled that while the wants and wishes Of the
poor were entitled to due respect, the rest Of
the community ought not 10 be disregarded.
calm serenity OF mind was pronounced es-
sential To holy worship, and this could be
best attained by having place in GODS
house which the worshipper could call his

means confined to the very wealthy, for the
pew renters embrace many tenants as well
as landlords, and many small tradcsmen AS

dlcted that the so-called better classes
would be alienatod by a universal open

people, generally, would grow to be unat-
tachcd Christians, with a seat In any church
but homo in none. A workingman, who
took part in the debate on this side, said ho
had never heard the appropriation of seats
condemned ut any of the numerous public
meetings he had attended where the Church
was otherwise criticised.
In the various religious denominations in
this country strong arguments have often
been made In favor of free churches. The
pow system is usually defended, however,
MS the only efficient means Of maintaining
that financial prosperity without which it
seems even churches cannot flourish. This
plea will hardly avail in England. There
the Church is the establishment Of the State,
supported by public taxation. The rescrva-
ton of certain seats TO certain persons who
pay for them Is in no wise necessary 10 the
support of the clergy; and the Anglican pew
system therefore utterly lacks what is per-
haps the chief justification of like methods
In the church organizations of the United
States.
1t is worthy of note that exceedingly liberal
sentiments ON this question were expressed
by the peers present al the Church Congress
Earl NELSON and Lord WHARNCLITFE. The
latter noblemon was particularly forcibc
and quite witty. There WAS no such thing
as bettors," he said, in the house OF COP;
all men who went to church TO worship were
on the same level, and one ought not to be
publicly preferred before another. He could
give but one reason for the existing pew
system. It, founders knew how hard it was
for rich man 10 enter into the kingdom OF
heaven, and they believed it their duty TO
afford him every possible chance.

don't know that they can bite
much, but they look COMPOUNDED
savage, and the ladies are always
afraid of them"
"Why don't they kill them and
have done with them?"
1.-THE people will not have them
killed; the pelicans know they will
not be killed, and so they come
piling in with the utmost conf
dence and fearlessness. You
couldn't dance for them or get about
the deck If you let them have their
own way"
But how do you manage them
If you are not allowed to kill them
and they will not stay kicked over
boaru?n
"Tie them up till the dancing is
over and the music stops-always
have to tie them up. AS soon as a
pelican lands on the deck you will
see one of the sailors go for him
and tie him up. He ties his legs
with one string, and then ties his
mouth shut with another, when he
takes him forward and dumps him
down on deck at the bow of the
boat. A boat never starts out into
the bay with an excursion party
and q band OF music aboard but
there is provided beforehand a
basketful of strings, cut the right
length for tying up the pelicans,
and then they sometimes run short
and are obliged to untwist pieces of
rope. Why, pye seen the whole
bow of boat piled three feet deep
with pelicans that We're lied up III
this way on one trip"
"They are so used to being served
so, the pelicans of San Diego are,
that they know what it means, and
once they have been tied up they
are quiet enough as long as the
music lasts. Once the music stops,
however, they soon become rest
less and begin to kick and squirm,
aid the whole pile of 'em is in a
struggle"
Gas soon as the dancing is oil
over, and there is to be no more
music, the sailors take knives, go
to the pile, cut the strings, andElet
all the pelicans loose. They cut the
strings off their bills first, then off
their legs, when the birds give a
squawk and dartaway. They are as
wild as ever then, when there is no
more music"
"But couldn't they fly away
with their legs and bills tied? You
said nothing about tying up their
wings" said the old gentleman,
cycling the young man suspicious
ly.
"Of course they might, but, you
see, they don't want to do it. They
don't want to fly away with their
legs tied up in such way that
they can't walk, and their mouths
tied so they can't eat; SO they don't
leave till the strings are taken off
them.n
"Ah, / see.n said the old gentle
man, smiling sweetly upon the
young man; "they are-the peii-
cans of San Diego" -Dan de
