st. Louis Christian Advocate:-"For the
sixth time since the death Of Wesley AN Irish
man, (the Rev. Thomas McCullsgh) was
elected president of the British Wesleyan
conferences, which met this year ut Hull. A
deputation Of Episeopalisn clergymen visited
the conference bearing fraternsl greetings. 1t
was headed by the Vicar of Hull. Baptists,
Independents and Presbyterians were also
represented. These evidences of Catholic
sympathy are of recent date. The aggregate
accession of members during the year was
80,Co6; q, no left the church for various res-
sons-not q few probably crossing the Attain
tic "a emigrants-a and more than 5000 mem
bers died. The increase covers these, and
1881 more, with more than "a 1000 on trial.
This does not look like decay. More than
sixty young men were ordained as preach
ers."
Sensible people attend church to worship
and praise Almighty God and to receive spir.
itual instruction. People of little sense and
less breeding frequently &c there to laugh and
talk and indulge in frivolous amusement. II
they have very little. sense indeed they will
occasionally laugh at or ridicule the Obser-
vances of the church which is not their own
and which according to their narrow compre
hension Is in consequence deplorably ignor.
ant and to be pitied. Nothing snnoys q con
gregation more. People may not always re
prove them, but they observe their rudenes'
and want Of reverence just the same. Moth,
ing SO irritates and worries q preacher. H,
may not always speak of it from the pulpit
but he sees it. II he refrains from censure I
may be that he thinks Of the old story. 4
clergyman was once annoyed by some peopl
laughing and giggling. He paused, looked q
the disturbers, and said, 81 am always afrai
to expose those who misbehave in church TO
, !, this reason. Some years since as l wa
. . preaching, young man who sat before m
! was constantly laughing, talking and maxim
. grimaees.. 1paused mt administered q sc
we're rebnke. After the close of the service
t a gentleman said to me; Sir you have mad
a great mistake, That young man you hav
just reproyed is an IDIOT Since then ! hav
always been afraid to reprove those who mit
behave themselves in church lest l should re
y peat the mistake and reprove another idiot,
