A Very Poor Prayer.


The London Christian World finds much
that is faulty in the special prayer recently put
forth by the archbishop Of Canterbury. 1t
says it "never saw any prayer in print more
utterly conventional, more piteously common
place, than this in which the archbishop of
Canterbury invites his clergy to ask Gods
blessing on our arms In Egypt. There
is no request that the nation should
be saved. from the guilt of rashness, of
pride, of ambition, of averice, IN going to war;
none that the Divine Spirit would quicken the
national conscience to discern whether it is in
the cause of righteousness, mercy and peace
that blood is to be sued; none that our enemies
may be enlightened as to their sin or folly in
causing US to attack them; none that the de-
struction wrought may be small, or the return
of peace be speedy. Does some one object that
this would swell the prayer beyond reasonable
length? We reply that few words may, in
prayer, express great deal, and that if the
prayer issued by the primate had really
touched the springs of mans spiritual nature,
had really expressed the feeling and attitude
becoming Christians when they ask God to con-
secrate with his blessing their weapons of war,
there would have been no complaints. although
the one struggling and broken-kneed sentence
of. this prayer had been replaced by several
brief and well-knit sentences"
,Drippings from the Sanctuary.
The Rev. 8. F. Green, the recaicitrant rector
anu WOuIu-De martyr OF MICS flattlng, Eng
land, is not yet out Of Jail; but his release will
| soon come, for the penalty of deprivation, con-
sequent upon his continued contumacy, took
effect recently, SO that he ceases to hold ben
efice in the church. and thus in q double sense
becomes q free man. The living is not rich
one, its value being stated in the Clergy List at
$500 year. The pecuniary loss which Mr..
Green sustains by deprivation is probably
tho east part of his punishment, for that Sec
ton of the church of which he is conspicu-
GUS leader is both sufficiently numerous and
wealthy to make his martyrdom easy to bear
| in financial sense. But though they NAV be
consoled in this respect the RituaIists must
now see that the general feeling of the country
is strongly averse to the pretensions they have
set up to be superior to the ecclesiastical courts
| in matters Of doctrine and discipline.
The official report of the one hundred and
sixty-third annual meeting Of the CONGREGATION
al General Association Of Connecticut gives the
| following statistical summary: There are 297
/ churches of this denomination in the State, Of
which 1872 have settled pastors, 10 are pre-
sided over by acting pastors and 90 have no
stated supply. One hundred and fourteen
churches have added no members by profess
sion Of faith during the year, and lost 242 BY
death. The church making the largest num-
bcrTof additions is the Center church Of Meri

TIE STAGE LINE TRIAL.
Presentation OF Formal Testimony-Iter-
dell Dcnics that He Intends SO Turn
"SuucnIer,v

THE TRIAL.
The juror on account of whose sickness the
court in the star route case adjourned on
Tuesday was in attendance yesterday, and
the trial was proceeded with. George l.
Brewer, corresponding clerk in the office of
the second assistant postmaster general de-
scribed the order of business in that office.
He was inquired of as to the practice of in
dorsing on the Jackets" of routes, the pro-
ductycncss thereof and said that, although
such Endorsements were generally made, the
exceptions were so numerous that it could
hardly be said to be custom. Mr.. Brady had
never given any instructions about emitting
it and 1t played no part in the question of
ordering or not ordering increased service.
The witness was not cross examined.
John Slceman, clerk in the sixth auditors
office, testified that he had frequently seen
Naile, Miner, and Rerdell together in the of
fee, but had never seen either of the Dorseys
there.
The advertisements for star route biddings
were put in evidence; also the contracts.
A long argument took place as to the legal
necessity of proving the actual execution of
those contracts. Judge Wyle held that such
proof was not necessary, and that all records
may be admitted as facts. The ruling was
excepted TO. The reading of the contracts
and other papers, and their Identification by
the witness, Brewer, occupied the time till a
o'clock, when the court adjourned.
QUESTION OF HARMONY.
Mr.. RcrdCll, the star route defendant who
has been charged with having determined to
turn states evidence, and contribute the in
formation and facts at his command to the
prosecution, published card yesterday, in
which he says:
dcnounce the insinuation that am now or
nave NJ any other time ever met or conferred with
Mr.. MerricE or Mr.. Ker on the subject of the star
route cases as wickedly and maiciously false. |
have at no time conversed or communicated with
either Cols. Merrick, Bliss, and Mr.. Ker OH that or
Just 10 me as At is false, and the author of such in
situations is not as mindful of the truth as
"chrs,ian gentleman" ought to be-
Judge Wiltshire, Rerdells attorney, adds his
testimony to that of his client and says there
is nothing in the story. The judge says there
is no lack of harmony among the defendants,
and that had it not been for Col. Ingersolls
"indiScrcct and uncalled for fling" in the
close of his opening speech the other day
there would have been nothing for the gos-
Slippers to attach thread of fiction to con-
cerning the conduct of his client. He says,
further, that Rerdell does not intend to go
over to the prosecution.
On the other hand there are those who are
impressed with the belief that all is not so
harmonious among the defendants ascertain
people imagine. 1t is certain that the counsel
are not as one man. '-yH

! Mr.. VOORHEES, said he had voted upon the
amendments to the bill, desiring to improve
il as much rs possible. even though he could
not support it, Some of the amendments
adopted had improved the bill aud he would
vote FOR some of them If they were before the
senate rs separate propositions, but TO the bill
as q whole he could not give his support.
Mr. Edmunds said he would vote for the
bill. He'was little afraid that if IL was not
adequate to the object in view, but IL was
step in the right direction.
Mr. Brown said that his amendment pro-
posing an approximately fair division of the
"patronage" between the parties before the
era of q non-partisan civil service should cot:
mence, and the other amendments, tending
toward fairness, had been voted down by a
republican party vote. This seemed to show
very clearly that the republicans did not de-
sire that there should be fair distribution
of the Offices, but intended to hold on to them,
so that they might be prepared for any misfor-
tune that might bclall them hereafter. He could
not vote for bill which was designed to give
monopoly of the offices to minority party,
nor could he see how democrats could sup
port it.
Mr. Coke regarded the bill as an utterly
worthless response to the popular demand for
the reform of the civil service, measure
which was binding upon nobody and which
would leave the question still to be the foot
ball of party politics. Nevertheless he would
vote for the BILL in the hope that by its pas
sage the author of it might be encouraged to
stronger and more practical efforts in the same
direction.
The bill was then passed by vote of-ayes,
80; noes, D, all the senators present exclusive
of pairs) voting in the affirmative except
Messrs. Brown, Call, Jonas, Mcpherson, and
Morgan.
Mr. Brown moved to amend the title of the
BILL so as to make it read: "An act to perpet-
uate in Office the republicans who now control
the patronage of the government" Laugh
teri Lost.
Mr.. Edmunds gave notice that he would ask
the senate to-day to consider the bill reported
from the judiciary committee to prevent
political assessments.
The senate then at o'clock adjourned.
