RELIGIOUS INTELLICENOE AND mol
DENT.

Springfield, Ohio, is happy over revival
in which the converts are Toundly numbered
at one thousand. This revival pervades all
denominations, and extends to nearly every
church.
The Republic is severe on Mr.. ''Moody
and ether preachers who find two or three
months in the year too hot for religious
work, saying it is not on record that Satan
ever stopped because the mercury wss above
eighty degrees"
The Chicago Inter Ocean thinks point
it made in favor of Cincinnati's aesthetic
progress in the boast that the scenery Of
the last dramatic festival is now stored in 3
disused pork house. "To what base uses
are we come lastl"
The reports recently circulated regarding
Sitting Bulls conversion to the Roman Cath
Ole faith are now squsrely contradicted.
Bull declares that he never authorized them,
and says that he cannot bear the idea of
leaving the faith of his fathers.
Bishop Burnett preached before Charles
IL. on one occasion and st certain point
he brought his fst down on the pulpit cush-
ion with great emphasis, saying, "Who
dare deny this statementf" The King
quietly rejoined, "Nobody, Bishop, who IS
Rev. DR.. Campbell Fair is urging Episco-
palians in the diocese of Maryland to adopt
q plan whereby ministerial support shall be
ct least 81 600 per anuTn. For instance, If
the annual stipend Of any perish or mission
station shall be 500 the missions committee
viii pay TO the rector the sum of $500 per
annum, making an equal value per year Of
81 goo.
One of the most eminent religious weeklies
bearing the date May 81, publishes an sc-
count of how an old lady, aged so. "went on
the ice last week and cossted down steep
hill several times On double runner" Such
incidents are refreshing in these hot times.
If that religious weekly viii, In the mex
issue, tell where the old lady found sufficient
ice for her sport "lsst week. or where coast
ing may safely be done during the next few
weeks the result will be very spare attend
ar &c at the Sunday schools of any such fdgid
locality.
1t has at last been definitely settled by a
unanimous vote that the Bsptists are TO have
a Bible all to Themselves. For long time
they have felt sore over the word "baptise,"
which in our version has been translated
''baptize' instead of "immerse," and now
they propose to print and distribute Bible
Sf their own in which there shall be no mis-
take about the quantity of water necessary
TO membership in the true Church. To some
of US worldly men this does not seem to be q
point of great Importance; still. if it will
make any orc happier TO find out the exact
difference between the northeastern and the
northwestern side of hair, why OF course
let him spend his time in that way. Agood
many of our citizens who have been inter-
ested in railroad matters of late have GER
tain degree of perhaps unreasoning prejudice
against large amount Of water when used
in connection with stock, and have become
convinced that the more water the less worth
there is, but perhaps it works the other way
in religion. The general theory of our good
Baptist friends we entirely agree with, viz.
That large quantity of water is necessary
to make this generation clean. We have but
one word of advice, and that is not to let any
efforts 70 convert the world cease or to be in
any way interfered with while the discussion
of these matters is going on.
