WE have known for some weeks that
negotiations were in progress with refer
ence to securing the services of the Rev.
Dr. j. W. Pratt Qate of Kentucky in
connection with an important movement
in Cincinnati. We are happy to learn
that this arrangement has now been con-
summated. The object is to hold reli-
gious services every Sabbath afternoon in
Music Hall in Cincinnati, which are to
be conducted by Dr. Pratt. This, we be-
lleve, is the largest hall in the city, hav-
ing capacity for some 5000 or 1000
persons. We learn from the Herald and
PreS6yter that the first service was to have
been held on Sabbath last. This journal
remarks:
The first service will be held next Sabbath
afternoon, and will, it is hoped, draw in many
who do not attend the churches 1t is expected
also, that as there are few afternoon religious
services, many Christian people will attend.
The services will be comparatively brief, and
the sermon practical. Rev Dr. Pratt, formerly
of Richmond, KY. one of the ablest men in the
Presbyterian Church South, will preach. He
Is well known to the church going people of this
CITY, having supplied the pulpit of the Second
church for several years, during Dr. SINNERS
vacations. The musical service will be made an
attraction. The choir will be under the control
of Elder H. Wilson Brown of the Fifth church
and Mr.. Healy, of the Third church. The great
organ will be used, with Mr. Carter as organist.
The funds to carry on these services for six
months have, we understand, been subscribed.
so there will be no charge, and probably no col
lection

the expressions of interest heard on all
sides are criterion, he will find a splen-
did congregation to greet him in the

IT MAY be all very foolish-this matter
of Ritualism but it is none the less
alarming 1t has assumed vast proper
tons, and we need not hatter ourselves
that it is confined to one Church. The
explanation of Ritualism is in human ma
ture, and human nature is the same all
over the world. 1t is true that proper
instruction may in a great degree protect
individuals or ecclesiastical bodies against
these puerilities, but for all that Ritual
ism is one of the currents of the day and
every period has its currents Of thought
and sentiment Ritualism is religious
phase Of the worldliness of the day; it is
the attempt of persons who are afraid not
to be Christians to cover their worldh-
ness with the mantle Of the church For
the deep things Of religion, for the spirit
ualities Of the gospel, they have no relish ;
but they willingly accept the declarations
of sentimental shepherds that the lambs
of the flock ought to gambol in green pas
lures and live beside still waters, and
deck themselves in spring flowers. They
willingly accept number of petty ritual
istic performances in place Of an old
fashioned prayer-meeting where the sin
ner had to stand face to face with God,
and hear about the sanctifying work Of
the Holy Spirit, and the like We should
really like to know what one Of these

WE had an idea that in a pecuniary
view the subscription list of newspaper
was worth far less than the sum procured
by multiplying the number of names by
the subscription price. We have found,
however, that on a Presbyterian paper
this rule does not apply We have re-
ceived most pleasant impression of the
high sense Of pecuniary obligation which
prevails among the subscribers to this
paper. They are nearly all good and
evidently, unless in cases of extreme pow
erty they all mean to pay. This is, we
Judge, something unusual in journalism,
at least in this part of the world, and it
reflects high credit on the constituency
Of the Southern Presbyterian Church. 1t
is astonishing how they pay up, consid-
ering the hardness of the times.

IT is an unquestionable fact that in all
the Churches of this State Presbyterian,
Episcopalian, Baptist, Methodist, and
others-the church authorities protest
against and frown upon the MODERN

it. But the dance goes on-the dancers
furnished in fair measure from the com
munion tables of the churches. The

openly disregard the counsels and the
wishes of the church rulers. What sort of
state of things is that? A young woman,

as one of the most largely-attended and
enthusiastic meetings ever held in Rich

the platform or in the meeting. Ad
dresses were delivered by the Rev. DR..

olutions were passed requesting the repre-

Sabbath, and requesting the members of

The SUNDAY LIQUOR LAw.-The real
issue in the change proposed is this

transfer. Nobody certainly would care

Now whenever the object is to impart
information, we should think it too plain
to admit of question, that the thing read
ought to be read in a natural tone. We
cannot conceive of anything more unwise
or less apt to secure the object in view,
than for the mistress of the house to in
tone receipt that she may have to read
to the cook about the preparation of some
important dish. So if the lawyer ad-
dressing the court, should intone the
Session Acts, we should think that both
Judge and jury would be but little edi-
fed by such presentation of the law of
the case. When the Psalms are presented
to the people for their spiritual instruc-
ton and edification, an equal improperly
is committed if, instead of being read by
minister and people, they are half-sung
and half-read in some prescriptive, artif-
cial tone, which conveys no meaning, and
is not intended to convey any. No one
supposes for an instant that when our Sa-
viour " stood up for to read" in the syn
agogue of Nazareth from the book of
Esaias, that he read in this manner. or
that Apollos, who was mighty in the
Scriptures" used them in this manner in
Alexandria or Achaia, or that Peter when
he quoted from Joel on the day of Pen
tecost, accompanied the citation by any
particular air. They were too much in
earnest for this trifing.
The singing of the prayers is still more
astonishing. Can any stretch of the i'm
agination conceive that when our Lord
taught his disciples to say, "Our Father
which art in heaven" he had in his mind
the idea that the sacred petitions were to
be SungP We can understand lot of old
monks or barefoot friars in their gowns
and girdles, in some old monastery, in the
thirteenth century chanting their lita-
MES, and chanting the Scriptures to an
Ignorant peasantry in an unknown
tongue; we can conceive a fraternity of
Indian fakirs with emaciated bodies, un-
kempt hair, and impaired fnger-nails,
moaning to their deities like the bowling
of some miserable dog on a dark night
IN his dreams. But what we have here
in the Churchmo11 and in Maine, is a re-
production of these remarkable antics
amid a network of railroads and tele-
phones, at time when the very sun itself
Is being weighed and analysed, and within

The ONLY REMAINING DANGER.

The Republican party is exposed to but
one real danger now, and it is the danger
arising from over-confidence. The victories
il Ohio and Indiana may cause them to
relax their exertions in other States, and to
look upon the election of next month as a
foregone conclusion. They must, however.
remember that after all that has been done
the margin is q narrow one. The solidity
Of the South is not affected by the October
elections. The North is still confronted
with the menace of those l3S stolen cleo.
toral votes. It is still the fact that the
Democrats will require only AZ more votes
to put their candidate in, and it is there
fore evident that little apathy and nepli-
gence may yet suffice to entail disaster
when all seems to promise triumph. There
is only one rational and safe course to pur.
sue. The Republican party must emulate
in every Northern State the splendid
examples set by their colleagues of
Ohio and Indiana. They must real
ize that every State is needed, and
that it will be dangerous to lose
even the smallest. No resting upon
the oars can be permitted. From this
moment until the close of the campaign
every effort must be redoubled. No mat
ter whether it is announced that the Dem
ocrats are dispirited and are abandoning
the struggle. Trust nothing to such rep
reservations. They may be true, but they

HOW THE NEWS WAS BROUGHT.

The readers OF the RECORD. UNION who
found the latest news from the Ohio and
Indiana elections on their breakfast tables
yesterday morning did not realize the diff.
hculties which had teen surmounted in or.
der to furnish them with this intelligence.
On Monday heavy storm occurred on the
Laramie plains, and on Tuesday the news
came that the telegraph wires had gone
down between Laramie and Cheyenne, and
that the repairs could not be made in less
than twenty flour hours. This was disas.
trous news at such a moment, but it was
determined by the management that the
election returns should be had notwith-
standing the accident to the wires, and &C.
cordingly arrangements were made to
charter special locomotive, at considerable
expense, to proceed from Laramie to Chey-
enne, procure the latest news up to | P. NJ.
and then return at full speed to Laramie,
and set the telegraph to work. This was
accomplished, though in consequence of a
severe storm the return of the engine from
Cheyenne was slower than was anticipated.
But the whole force of the RECORD UNION
had been retained /; the connection was
made at 3 A. NJ; and in the morning the
paper appeared with the glad news that
cheered every Republican heart. The tele-
graph disaster was thus overcome, and the
readers of the RECORD UNION learned at
the earliest moment the result of the
October elections.

WEAVER AND THE DEMOCRATS.

Since the Democrats discovered that the
Greenbackers did not make a satisfactory
tender to their party, they have been abus.
ing poor General Weaver, whose misfortune
it is that he knows considerably less than
nothing about financial subjects, but to
whose credit it must be said that he has a
complete belief in his fantasies, and advo-
Gates them with the fervor and single
mindedness of inVincible but honest ig-
norance. One Lum, a renegade Green
hacker, and it is to be feared, a sorry
fellow, has been asserting that Weaver had
been purchased by the Republicans, and
tina. he was rolling in ill,gotten wealth !;
whereupon Weaver comes out with a
plain statement of his financial affairs, and
shows that he has received from all
sources, since the campaign began, the
enormous sum of Sl,695. Fancy this
Presidential candidate going into the con-
test confidently with 81, 695 in his pockets,
and picture him, as the Democrats represent
him, as a corruptionist Really this is
almost as preposterous as the 1929 charge
against Garfield, and coming from the
Democrats, the friends and partners of
Boss Tweed and Tilden & Co., it is ex.
travagant beyond expression. General
Weaver is not wise or well informed
man, but he would not be prancing round
the country on his foolish mission if he
was not above corruption, and he Ger.
tainly would not be SO poor if he was in
the market as alleged. The Democrats
are stupid. They denounce him, as every
body sees, because he is opposed to fusion
with them. That is the truth, and it is
not concealed from the wayfsring man,
either.
