"There is going to be trouble in the
church this winter" says the Interior;
'trouble over those hats-those ladies' fur
hats, we mean, with immense brims, with
crucified birds on them, and which are
worn perpendicularly on the back of the
head. They hide the pulpit and its incum-
Jo-. nom uhe u4-fU1. 444elSo pcOpio WAl -Is
doomed by untoward circumstances to sit
behind them. Those hats are a violation
of the peace of the people, of the dignity
of the law and of the humane instincts OF
man."
In Oliver street, New York, in sight from
Chatham square, stands the solid old build
ing known as the Mariners church. 1t is
considerably out of style, yet the Baptists
have valuable memories of the work &C
complished under its roof in former days.
Prof. Norman Fox has taken pastoral
charge of the congregation worshiping in
this venerable building. 1t is not large
congregation, but represents good work
ing force. DIR. Fox has the assistance of
two missionaries, who visit from house to
house. He also has a competent choir.
The Guardian says: Herbert Spencers
theory of development and sociology, if it
prevails, will do great deal more than
revolutionize theology. 1t will upset our
whole social economy in all its forms,
rights and duties; put an end to the state,
to the church and to the family, and wipe
out snch things as marriage and property.
1t has done all this" the Guardian con-
cludes, land will do it again" Isn't that
a beautiful bill of fare for Henry Ward
Beecher to present to his church and the
world? And yet he is disciple of Herbert
Spencer doing it practically.
Now that the Salvation army warriors in
Bombay have had more of fair show than
was at first accorded them, the Mohamme
dams have determined to combat them, not
by trying the force # the law on them, but
by providing superior attractions for the
public. From various parts of the country
the "holy men" are coming forward with
the performance of alleged miracles to
prove that Mohammedanism is the only
true faith. These "holy men" are recog-
nized as the most expert jugglers the world
has known. They are to travel through
the country and do their best to impress
the people. As an aid to their sens ational
attractions Nautch girls are to be employed
in their bewitching dances. The Saliva
tionists have no such attractions to offer as
can compete with either of these.
Ocansey recently made a voyage to Eng
land, and was so pleased with his expert
ence that he wrote book about it. In
Liverpool he was first struck with the idea
that holiday was going on, for he saw
nobody in the streets without clothes. He
regarded it a novelty when he was told
that it was so generally the custom of the
people of England to wear clothes that
anybody appearing in public without them
would be picked up by the police. The
gas lights astonished him. He had seen
candles before, and knew all about blow
ing them out So when he went to bed the
first night in Liverpool he blew the gas
out, and but for the open windows would
have died before morning. He was much
astonished when told that gas was as dan
gerous as gunpowder, although in differ
ent way. He heard a church organ and
choir for the first time. The organ music
was beyond his comprehension, but he
thought the singers had some connection
with the heavenly hosts above. The sight
of a procession of orphan asylum children
utterly bewildered this African.
