Pleasant Hill Dispatch, June 6:-"Rev. q.
+ Leyburn, Of Lexington, will preach at the
Presbyterian church In this city next Sunday

Of that church. Rev. A. W. Nesbit. Of Sc
dalia, will deliver the charge to the pastor,

gstien. Tho membership friends and the
pablo are invited to attend.". .
The annual sermon at the Baptist church
last Sunday morning, and the Missionary
ermon ct night, by. Rev.. e. Roberts, of
Kansas City, were both very eloquent and
instructive. Mr.. Roberts is q young man of
great Promise. He has y very commendable
way of beginning without preliminary or
apology, and Of stopping when he gets
through: Largo and appreciative audiences
listened attentively to both d~isoourses.
Cardinal John McCloskey has executed. .,
power Of attorney to Vicar Gen. william
Quinn and Thomas 8. Preston, giving them
full authority to act for him as an individual
and as archbiahop Of New York. For some
time the cardinals health has been such As to
render 1t impossible for him to attend, to any
secular Affairs, and he has been assisted BY
memberro Of his council. In addition 70 the
property which IL In his care, Is overseer,
there is nuch church property standing in
his individual name. Yicar-Gen. Quinn and
Chancellor Preston are the leading members
of the council, and it II because of their long
service In the archdiocese and thorough &C
qustntance with its secular affairs that the
cardinals secular functions arc intrusted to
them. Coadjutor Archbishop Carrigan stands
nextiA ecclesiastical rank to the cardinals and
has the right of succession in the archbishop,
rici of New York. but'has not 80 long an &C
'quaintanee with its temporal affairs. The
W Of attorney was executed on May Is,
and acknowledged on Friday last; it was re-
corded last Tuesday, and some of the most
prominent laymen Of the church first learned
of it then: 1t does not create a great deal of
surprise, for the cardinals %indisposition has
been steadily progressing. His signature to
the instrument h written in q feeble hand, !
which is marked by more u~nsteadiness than {
his signature to any instrument previously
by him.. 1t reads: "John Card
McCloskey, archbishop of New York" The
word archbishop is scarcely lsgible. The
cardinal is "A years old.

Bsptists, who in point of num-. /

Bible Society by purchasing the
King James version of the Scriptures.' We
this statement from the New York Times. |
It Is editorial, and claims to report the result
cached by the Bible convention of Bsptists
leld last week, at Saratoga. Other secular
'apers are making substantially the same
tatement. We are amazed that any public
ournal can consent to put forth a statement 30
ntirely apart from the facts. 1t is violently
must and misleading. The main point de-
ided BY the convention at Saratoga was that
he Baptists would not have u separate Bible \
This decision was taken with an
pproach to unanimity that was, under all the.l
remarkable. 1t was deter.E
mined hat the Northern Baptists would here-
ater do their bible work through their EXIST
ne missionary orgsnizations-the home work
trough the American Baptist Publication
'ociety. and the foreign work through tho
Baptist Missionary Union. The
'outhern Baptists have made no formal de-
lveranee ON the subject. So far. from deter.
mining to have their private bible, the
aeeting at Saratoga practically voted out Of
xlstence the only organization that favore6f
distinctly Baptist translation. 1t is WE'LL
that the Bsptfsts Of this country
I'LL condne themselves to the King James
ersioa OF the Canterbury revision. We are
OF TO have our W private bible.' 1t is
rue that the action at Saratoga will practi-
ally separate the Baptists Of the North, and
robably to a large degree of the whole
ountry, from the American Bible Society.
Tut this alienation does not spring. from any
fish or purpose on the part Of the Baptists

purse of the American Bible Society toward
