Bishop Kahn, in his afternoon sermon al
the Cathedral on Sunday, preached on the
Bible and tho Church, and took the
ground that The New Testament canon had
been established by tho Catholic Church,
and TINT she had been not only the COM
piler but repository oithe different gospels
and epsitles that constitute It. Next Sun.
day he will preach on the infrllibility Of
the Pope.
Speaking Of the Catholic Church, It is
now said that owing to the prospects ofthe
Roman Catholic Church in Scotland the
Pope will soon create cardinal for the
Scottish hierarchy. Scotland has not had
cardinali for more than three hundred
years, when David Bcaton, or Bethunc, as
the name was sometimes spelled, was
Cardinal Archbishop Of st. Andrews.
This cardinal was widely esteemed for his
intellectual requirements, both by James
V. Of Scotland and Francis l. But he was
fierce and incorporating In his efforts to
stamp out Professionalism; and party feel
ing ran SO high that when in 1915 he was
killed and his corpse hanged out OF the
window, Knox, Oh hearing Of tho "godly
fact" sent one hundred and fifty men to
the defence OF his mu'dcreB, who were
also prntectedby the English Government.
But times have changed since then; and
men have changed with them. Tho new
cardinal, II he is appointed, will quietly
take his place aud will be on as good terms
with his Protestant neighbors as Cardinal
Manning is.
A short time ago Fathers Maturin and
Torbert, of the Protestant Episcopal Order
Of st. John the Evangelist, conducted a
mission" in Mount Calvary Episcopal
Church in Baltimore. The services and
teachings were Of the rituplistic order, and
have resulted in the publication Of apro-
test, signed by dozen or more Episcopa-
lian clergymen OF Baltimore and neigh
borhood, including the names Of Drs, A.
NJ. Randolph, J. +. IIof, J. L. Grammer
and Campbell Fair. The protest says that
the missionaries recommended auricu-
lar confession and prayers for the dead,
taught that priests have power to forgive
sins, and the doctrine OF the Real Pres
ence, with much else repugnant to Pro-
testantism. The protestants say that the
Bishop, though too sick to entertain ques.
ttons involving anxiety or responsibility,
has depressed his sympathy. with the
main purpose OF this paper and his re-
spect for the motives which have prompt.

is true that the charge is one affecting

is far more germane TO the Christian

not discover any practical good that is
likely to come out of this trial. OF course
we cannot anticipate what the evidence is

As an evidence Of tho remarkable
growth otthe Presbyterian Church in the
South OF England, it is interesting to notc
that whereas but a few years ago there
were only twenty congregations in the
Presbytery Of London, with not single
ministerial stipend exceeding $, 900, there
arenow no less than soventy.two charges
in the same Presbytery, in twenty.cight Of
