Colensoism in England.

Rationalism in the Church of England
seems to keep place with Ritualism. A
significant fact in connection with the
Society tor the Propagation of the Gospel,
the High Church Missionary Society,
shows that Colenso has many friends now
IN that association, where he had very
few on the first declaration .of his anti
biblical opinions. When the question of
striking Colenso's name from the roll of
the Society came up in 1868, out of hun
dreds present at the meeting only two
held up their hands in his defence. The
same question, virtually, came up before
the Society last month, and the result is
told IN the following from the London
Record
The Managing Committee recommended that
the resolution of February 20, 1868, should be
ssoiemnly re, affirmed" The plea of want of
information" could not now be repeated. for
since 1863, DIR: Colenso had repeated his offence
again and again, In several new volumes; and
any man in England might, if he pleased salts
fy himself in single week that DR.. Colenso de-
med that the Bible was Gods Word, and asserted
that, IN many Places,i it asserted tOhat tOas not
true. Again there was a crowded meeting bnt
the result was fearfully different from that seen
IN 1858 The previous question was moved:
Whlcn meant, apparently, ",0e tViU not solemnlv
re-afhrm" the resolution of 1858. The division
OF the meeting, however, was a strange. a start
ling one. While $50 voted against the previous
question, as many as 12S voted for it; that is to
all appearance, voted for Dr. Colensol And
when the Committees resolution was put to the
vote, only lO7 voted for it, while fO6 voted
against it. The majority consisted of one uote

in his favor, and hundreds against him Nav

Fortunately we have no diamonds. 1t is
announced by cable that at last the pro-

of the most eminent living crystallograph-

British Museum, declares that the feat
has been accomplished by Mr.. Hannay,
of Glasgow. 1t will, of course, bring down

will probably give an impulse to the
business of this city. These hopes are

THE DOVES TO THEIR WINDOWS

a friend by letter informs me that Mrs. FAN
NY MACON, relict of the late Miles Macon, ESQ.
departed this life on Wednesday, the 18th of
February, in Manchester, Va This excellent
Christian lady had lived a long time-dying in
the SD year of her age But she had lived
well-very well. She was a model of personal
and social worth. As wife, and mother and
mistress her example was above all praise. Her
portrait is well drawn by Solomon in the last
chapter of Proverbs
AS Christian, Mrs. Macon was firm in her
belief of the doctrines of the gospel. Her faith
gave tone to all her character 1t worked bv
love. 1t purified her heart. 1t overcame the
world. 1t quenched all the fiery darts of the
wicked. 1t made her cheerful when adversitv
came, and when others were perturbed 1t as
sured her that all would end we'll She trusted
In the merits of the Redeemer, and in nothing
else as the ground of her acceptance with God.
her pity for the poor and the suffering was
very pleasant. She had an ear for every tale of
sorrow. She never burdened herself in pride
She knew none of the arts of the insolent. She
did not mind high things, but condescended to
men of low estate
She was far removed from every form and de-
gree OF blgotry. She loved the people and min
listers of God, whatever name they bore Long
years ago l have seen her quietly, but in the
most excellent way, ordering the affairs of her
house for the comfort of Gods servants.
She possessed great self-control and DELIGHT
full equanimity. She ruled her own spirit and
so she knew how to guide her house, make the
best of every thing and make others happy
She was always a refined lady. By birth and
education she had many advantages. But all
these were as nothing compared with the quail
ties she obtained by the new birth and by walk
ing with God. Her life was not free from trials
some OF them sharp and severe. But these are
all forgotten now, except as they furnish themes
for magnifying the grace of God, which abound
ed to her
have not heard any of the particulars of her
last hours. But l am sure her Saviour did not
leave her without his sustaining grace know
how she hUea. With those who lead godly lives
Is the secret of the Lord, and he will show them
ms covenant. He says, my grace is sufficient
Tor thee; and he always keeps his word. No
wonder her children arise up and call her blessed
10 all of them send the love and sympathy of
an old friend of their honored mother.
What place heaven must be- Every choice
spirit that has left this earth has gone to the
same blessed home in the skies. There the
wicked cease from troubling; there the weary
are at rest. They indeed are forever blest. The
Lord God almighty and the Lamb are the tenn
pie and the light of that great city, which hath
foundations and is garnished with all manner of
precious stones. Surely our mourning for our
loved ones, who have entered in through tn.
gates into that city, ought to be very moderate.
though we may weep for ourselves
