TIE NEW HAwORTH.-The new, Haworth
Church, England, was c0nsecrated three weeks
ago by Bishop Ryan. The masonry IS Of local
sandstone. The aisle windows are of three
lights, with simple tracery. The south Chancel
has two lights, with arched heads. The east
window is of five lights, fairly elevated above
the church floor, and somewhat more elaborate
than the remainder. The west window is or
six lights and is divided into two stages. The
east window is fanked by CanODied inches con-
tanning statues OF the two archangcis, 81.
Michael and st. Gabriel. The chief entrance to
the church is by the south porch, and is OF
somewhat shallow dimensions owing to the re-
striclOns of the churCbyard. The external arch
is well moulded, and the roof simply yauted IN
stone. The interior of the church presents the
usual features. The roofs are OF stained deal,
that of the nave being OF hammer beam con-
structioD, with moulded intermediate rafters.
The interior walls are plastered, and they VIII
shortly receive appropriate decoration. Inc
arches and capitals are or simple masonry,
without carving OF tlhDOTdJO ucIdllB tuc OHiJ
exception to this rule being the blank arcade or
paneling in the eastern bay of the chancel. IL
consists of three panels ut the sides and Tour IN
the east end, with rectangular panel ABOVE
the altar table, containing a 5culptHred copy In
mph relief of the Last Supper in Derbyshre
alabaster. In the erection OF the new church
il was found necessary TO remove number or
graves but the remains OF the Bronte famliy
have not been disturbed They lie near The
altar. The only part of the old church which
has Ocen utilized is the tower: In the interior
of the church at the west end are five marble
tablets, one of which contains the names or de-
ceased members of the BrOnte family. The
Rev A. B, Nichols, B. A., pTODOses to erect a
memorial in the new church in memory OF
! Charlotte BrOnte.
DIR. BartoI, in the course of his forty-fifth an
niyersaTy sermon at West Church, Boston, last
Sunday affirmed that religion, IN It's nature, Is
less a FORM catechism or creed, than sCng'

myths and miracles in the New and under the
second, that the ritual is the inferior ana acct
dental part of our religion, and the Lords
Supper, as n means of grace, on level with
any other ObscTTan or portion of worship;
under the third that sanctty, righteous contTol
of sense and appetite Is an Indispensable quaI-
fcatiOn for lay or clerical membership IN the
Church. How simple thing here, indeed, re-
ligiOn has been"
In the Belgian Chamber of Deputies fort
night ago, the Minister of Justice announced
that the Government would not propose to re-
duce the salaries of the superior clergy. (lhe
primate receives now $4,000 and each of the
other bishops $3,SOOO The Government the
Minister said disappTOved of the episcopal agl-
tatiOn on the education question, but TO add 10
this disapprOval a reduction OF the Dlsnops sal
aries would he puerlle vengeance Tatner tnan
an act of legitimate reprlsalS. Inc Government
would however, propose a measure winch had
not tho character of rcpllSals- the suppression
of the Subsidies granted to the professors ana
the scholarships allowed To the students at the
ecclesiastical sCminaries. The financial position
of these institutions made the State subsidies
granted to them wholly unnecessary. lie also
announced that the Government would propose
the suppression OF the salaries OF the eccleslasl-
cal conductors hut you'd not interfere with the
salaries of the lower clergy. The grants Tor the
construction of religious buildings would also
be considerably reduced.

cbism which the Rev. DR.. Dix has caused to be
prepared TOR the 4,4j5 children of the Sunday
schools connected with Trinity parish, In 0rder

Newton, favor UniversaiSt doctrines:
