THE DANGER or KTCALIsM.-A writer in
The IFdtchmdR believes that Rtualism Is the
coming dnngcr III the religious world lie
says: bad lately the pleasure OF listening TO
the Rev. DR.. CuthbertsOD, OF the / rec Church,
London He had wOrls OF cheer that viii be
welcome TO every Christian heart But though
the day of doubt is on the wane III England, hc
thinks that there and here there Is grave danger
Interchangeable of Rltualism. In Oxford and
in Cambridge. he says, addresses on the high
est churchism are listened TO with enthusiasm
and even cheers Broad Church views win
respectful attention, but waning applause,
while evangelical views and presentations are
grOanei and Kissed, even 'bOwed,' down!
And said the eloquent speaker, the trial Is
coming to you, in America; It's on the great
wave rolling across the sea. Do not make the
mistake that We in England made, OF giving
federation TO what Is, III all but having the
Pope, Papacy. DO not give up the freedom for
which your heroic fathers fought and died.
Take the evil by the throat, and strange 1t in
the beginning"
A TOLERANT POLCY.-The new Archbishop
of Canterbury in replying TO an address of wei
come rendered HIM by the civic authorities OF
Cambridge gave brict outline OF his policy,
which appears to be one of broad liberation.
1t was, he said, the cordial sentiment OF his
being that he should respect the opinions OF
other men seriously and honestly formed, if
they differed ever so much from his own. EX-
periencc of the past taught us that man did not
a good work but IN evil Work VINO cndcaVOred
TO force his formed opinions upon the formed
opinions Of others. What we should do was to
set before men who differed from us the prin-
ciples upon which we formed our opinions, and
let them Judge for themselves. TO endeavor to
do the duty of Il minister OF Christ without re-
spect for other mems opinionG would, IN his
opinion, be violation of one of the first prin-
ciples of the Gospel. They had told him that
they knew he would respect the opinions OF
others from what they knew of him in the past.
He could assure them confidently that 1t would
not be otherwise with him in the future.

The Golden Rule gives the following facts
about the circulation of the religious papers OF

two papers represent respectively, the Baptists
and Methodists The Christian Register, the
chief organ of the Unitarans, has circulation
of 1000, and The Christian Leader the expo
nent of Universalism, has, presumably, 1000.
On the other hand, The Investigator, which is

The Banner OF Li0ht, the organ of the Spirit
ualists, claims Is, 400, though 1t numbers but
half the years of The InueStiga or. The Roman
Catholics have but one distinctly deDomina-
tional paper, The Pilot, but it claims weekly

The Watchmdn speaks hopefully Of religion

and vicinity since the 6eginning of the year
still manifested with little or no decrease
