RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.

CATHOLICISM IN ENGLAND.-Durin his re-
cent stay in London, Cardinal Newman deliv-
cred an address before the Catholic Union on
the custom Of praying Tor the p fs d;re Of
object within two or three centuries. In the
sixteenth century Catholics would pray Tor
Mary, but those times are gone, and Cathollcs
"dO not now depend for the success or their Te-
ligiOn on the patronage of sovereIgns--at IL ast
in Engand-and it would not help them much
il they gained it," Indeed, even Mary did rot
do much for Catholicism. I'm her short reign
she permitted acts, as If for the benefit OF Cath
Olics, which were the cause, the excuse, TOR ter
rible reprisals III the next reign, and nave
stamped on the minds of our cOuntrymen fear
and hatred Of us, viewed as Catholics, which at
the end of threescenturies is as fresh and keen
as it ever was" Nor did any good come from
James H., in the next century. The lesson has
been taught that Catholics are not to look to
political movements and changes for the con-
version of England. At time when priests
were put to death or forced out OF the country
If they preached or said mass, 1t was natural TO
pray for the success of dynasties; for through
the allowance or sanction OF the Governments
lay the only way open for conversion. But to
do this would be idle and preposterOus now !;
" the best favor which sOvereigns, .parlaments
municipalities, and other political powers can
do u.s. is to let us alone, Nowadays, that
which should be understood by this praying 49,
"not the conversion of England to the Catholic
Church, but the growth of the CATHOLIC Church
III England" Nothing sudden should be ex-
pected, "nOthiDg violent, nothing evidently
miraculous, nothing inconsistent with the free
will of our cOuntrymen, nothing out OF keeping
with the majestic march and slow but sure
triumph of truth and right in this turbulent
world"
KALLOCH. Whatever his opinions on the
Chinese question IN general, Mr.. Mayor Kalloeh
is decidedly not opposed to missionary WORK
among Them and therein on certain grounds
he is consistent aud emlnently Christian In
spirit If thu Chinese are to stay the very men
who have tried to get them out Of the country
should encourage all efforts. to make them good
citizens and agreeable nelghbors Mayor Kali
loeb has aVOWed hls position on this point at
the California Baptist State Convention, where
one of the speakers aTragned him with refer
ence to his incendiary language on the sand lots
rs directly against mission work among the
Chinese. KallOch's reply was that he had never
spoken an unkInd word of the Chinese, and
would work as heartily as any one to save and
convert them, and proposed that steps be taken
at once in the Convention to raise money for
mission work among them. He deprecated the
attack from fellow member of the Convention,
tending to prejudge his case before 1t was de-
telmined by the courts, aud said ne was not
afraid of all the world. He could meet super
Vs0fs, he could meet the courts, ne could meet
the lawyers and assassns who lurked In his
every patti, and was not afraid of them all, as
would care for him. He thought he was en-
titled to the sympathy, at least, OF his
brethren.
CHURCH RESTORATION An eminent English
architect says that clergymen are often
possessed with the wholly unnecessary desire to
make all parts of q church harmonic III style,
SO that some of the mistakes complained of by
the anti-restoration people are due to the
clergyman and not to the architect. He
relates a case which came under his care in
which there was q single niche on one side OF
the east window and, curIOusly enough, none on
The other. The fact was not only curious but 1t
was of interest rs part of the history of the
church. One day the architect, after an absence,
was very much shocked to find that the clergy
man had ordered an exact counterpart TO be
set up in the other side OF the window: It
is added by this writer that during the forty
years that church restoration has been carried
on in England, the churches have received
more attention and expenditure than has ever
been bestowed upon them during the same
period since the introduction of Christianity
into the country, and he admits as "Only TOO
painfully true THAT this lavish use OF money
has often inflicted irreparable injury upon many
ancient edifices. Apart from tie noble old
cathedrals there are, he says, In Great Britain
about $4,000 parish churches Of ancient date
all of which are 10 need OF restoration but In
proper way.
A SUCCESSFUL PAsTORATE.-During the ten
years that the Rev. r. s. Macarthur has been
nastOr of Calvary Church in this city, 40 per-
sons have beeu received by baptism, Az by
letter, and 80 by experience and restoration,
making Oil in all. Fifty members have died,
and 157 have been dismissed by letter. Ten
years ago the membership was 239 now it 10
900. A report further says that during these
ten years the regular expenses OF $lO,OOO an
nuaily, and the floating debt of ten yeals ago,
have been paid from the regular income from
pew-rents and collections, no collections having
been ever taken to make up deficits, The total
amount of money raised IS little over
$500, 900, of which 100000 came from pew
The balance of 800, 900 has been devoted to
UNCONVENTIONAL benevOlence, an average OF
$4,000 year.

been recently some days in London, the guest
Of the Duke and Duchess OF Norfolk. lie has
given an audience at the BrOmptOn OratOry,
