WE ARE much gratifed to learn that
the membership of the Young Men s
Christian Association in this city has
been considerably increased within the
past few weeks, and that there are indi-
cations of special interest on the part of
the community in its prosperity. The
Librarian reports that 2,319 persons have
visited the rooms during the past month.
This is an enterprise which ought to be
earnestly encouraged here. The circula-
ting library alone, maintained by the in
stitution, is of great value TO our young
people. We do not see why it should not
become really important library. For
a few dollars, any one can have access to
this collection of books. We greatly need
first-class public library in Richmond.
The reception given by the Association
at the Grace-Street Presbyterian church
on Friday night last is described by the
Dispatch as great success.
The meetings for prayer last week were
we'll attended.

THE END OF PROF. CLIFFORD

Our readers may remember Professor
Clifford, who died about two years ago in
England, quite young man, but, who
in spite of his want of years, had already
achieved very high position among the
physicists of Great Britain. His special
department, we believe, was mathematics
but he was one of the leading expounders
and champions of Evolution and the ma
terialistic philosophy. Regarded as one
of the brightest men in England, the pet
of scientific and literary circles in Lon
don, his sick room became centre Of
melancholy interest and sympathy as he
slowly, but surely, advanced to meet the
inevitable embraces of all-conquering
death-whom, however. he met without
quailing and with dignity that COM
manded the admiration of his friends.
Professor Clifford entered the University
of Cambridge, if we remember correctly,
in 1867, and he died at the age of thirty
four He not only rejected the Bible, but
he was an atheist; and he was not only
an atheist. but he was so aggressive in
his views that he boldly challenged all
who differed with him on all occasions
He not only ridiculed revealed and nat
ural religion, but he argued that the doc
trine Of Providence is immoral, and that
the belief in it is productive of the most
injurious results. He is said to have been
Of most joyous and genial disposition.
We observe in one of his letters on the
occasion Of a visit to France, he speaks
of dinner at Honfeur, where he and
his companion got roaring drunk, >
Judging by his quotations, his favorite
poet was Swinburne, which is not calcu-
lated to impress us with high opinion
of his qualifications to Judge Of the moral
ity or immortality Of the doctrine of Prov
idence.
We see it going the round Of the pa
pers that the following inscription has
just been placed on Mr.. Clford's toni
in Highgate Cemetery:

The CHRISTIAN CHARACTER of many
of the converts in the mission fields of
the Church may be learned from the fact
that, when the news arrived in the island
of Tahiti of the massacre of twelve native
missionaries in New Guinea, and call
was made for three men to supply the
places of those who had fallen, all the
students in the college volunteered for the
work, and it was necessary to cast lots to
determine who should go. Can religion
which inspires such devotion as this be
put down?

M. ROCHE, member of the French
Chamber of Deputies, is reported by the
cable to have introduced into that body
resolution proposing the secularisation
of the property of the religious orders,
and complete separation of Church and
State. This programme will be carried
out in all the States of Europe before
many years have passed, and when it
comes in Italy, the Pope will leave Rome,
and what then?

GOOD CLOTHES REoUIRED.-We have
known for long time that "good clothes
were considered as an almost indispensa-
bic article of furniture in the pews, but
we were not aware that the quality of the
dry goods worn by the minister's family
or his relations had been under consid-
Grafton in connection with the efficiency
OF his pastoral labors. 1t appears, how
ever, from the following clipped from the
correspondence of the Philadelphia Pres
6yterian, that the point has been made,
and that it has been held "valid" OBJ
lection to the calling of a minister to a
church, that his wife's relatives did not
dress nice enough.
1t really does seem as if some of our vacant
churches were becoming just a little too particu
lar as to the qualifications Of their future pas
tors. They seem to be stretching things out, SO
to speak, over too large an area. calvin"

er OF the gospel of his Master. But when the
question of calling this minister to the pastorate
of that church came to be agitated the somewhat
novel but apparently valid objection was raised
against him that some of his wife's relatives,
who lived in that village. and might, perhaps,
be tempted into that church. did not wear
clothes nice enough to entitle them to sit in that
congregation. To be sure What can be ex-
pected from the gospel in the pulpit if, IN the
congregation, there be poor people in poor
clothes-that are paid for2 To such directors
a careful study Of James H. 5 is very earnestly
commended. Perhaps that church deserves the
spiritual decay to which it seems to be des-
tined.

project for the erection of building for

800 each. One gentleman offered to

HUMAN PRIDE.-The leading" citizen
in ScufHetown becomes very insignificant
when he comes to Richmond; and the
wealthlest man in Richmond is dwarfed
when he gets to Baltimore, and utterly
beneath remark when he reaches New
York. Professor Proctor assures us that
as many as 100000 suns can be seen
with powerful telescope, and it is to be
presumed that we see only ain part
Each of these 100000 suns, he tells
US, is the centre of universe. From
which we conclude, that big Injun' on
this little speck of an earth which we in
habit, is unavoidably. when comparisons
are freely instituted, very small affair
and, particularly SO, when bis career is
necessarily limited to some twenty or
thirty years.

Why this abrupt change OF front? 1t
is difficult to penetrate the secrets or the
intrigues of the Sacred College; but the
writer of the article in the Edinburgh
Reviea0 (who writes in most friendly
spirit to the Pope) suggests two reasons
One is that it is due to the influence of
the French government in urging the
Pope to assume an attitude of hostility
against Italy; the other is, that the Pope
has remarked that the annual receipts
from the offering among the faithful of
the Roman Catholic Church, known as
Peters Pence, or o6olo al San Ptetro,
fuctuated in its amount as the Pope
pressed or ceased to urge his claim to the
temporal power. This is the main source
to which the Pope has to look for his in
come. The declaration to band of pill
grims last May, that never while he lived
would he cease to raise his voice for the
restoration of the temporal power, was
followed by so striking an increase of the
obolo for that month, that it exceeded the
whole sum collected during the previous
part of the year. He is in very bad
hnmor. 1t is stated that at secret Con-
sistory lately he stormed at the hospital
ity shown to King Humbert by the EN-
peror Francis Joseph, of Austria. He
compared the visit to the meeting between
Herod and Plate.
Pope Leo XIII impresses us as man
who wishes to do right; as a man Of SUI
perior intellect and broader views than
Plus TX; as one who, if left to himself,
would have greatly elevated the tone and
spirit of the Roman Church but he is
surrounded by sixty-three cardinals and
an intransegeant body of extremists, and
his amiable purpose when he set out of
making himself a model pope has not been
realised. What he lacks is moral cour-
age, though those who are acquainted
with the genius of Romanism know very
we'll that it requires moral courage of no
mean standard to curb the violence of
those who represent its Evolutionary poll
cy. The Pope violated his convictions
when he made himself the champion of
the temporal power; he has, however, set
his hand to an act which presents him in
much more pitiable light than this.
Father Curci has recently published
another work La Nueva Italia ed i Wee
chi zelanti) enforcing the positions OF
the two Prefaces. Now, this work has
been condemned by the Holy Inquisition,
and the sentence of condemnation was
signed by Leo XIII Here we have the
wretched spectacle of an infallible Pope
stigmatising with his official signature as
heretical or false opinions which he is
known to entertain, and which he has
circulated.
