asoUT or THE RACK DOOR"
The Rev. DR.. Cuyier, In the New York
Eud7egelist, says: ''tThere are two doors to
our churches. At the front door new mem

The Jclctsh Times says, the "Wandering
Jewt" all have heard OF, but it wishes to say
something OF the Wandering Christian: - For

GEN. HOWARD.
The San Francisco Pacific says that *Presi-
signing Gen. O. O. Howard to the charge OF
the Military Academy at West Point''; and
that, "While Gen. Howard is In charge every
cadet will have a fair show, and his Just

faithful, and most successful service, but he

The San Francisco Qccident objects to the
statement Of the Chronicle that the prevalent
