OBITUARY.
Death of Ri.hop simpsop.

PHILADELPHIA, June lS.-Bishop Simp-
son died this morning. Few clergymen
are better known in this country than
Matthew Simpson, bishop of Philadelphia.
He is now seventy.five years old, but even
as late as three years ago he paid visit to
Europe as delegate to the First Methodist
Episcopal Ecumenical Council I'D made
decided impression. He was born in
Ohio, and commenced life as tutor and
doctor, but after q brief service in the
double capacity entered the ministry,
where his rise was rapid and highly mer-
tied. He was successively vice president
OF Allegheny College, president OF the In
diana Asbury University and editor of the
Western Christian Adrocdte. In 1882 he
was elected bishop, and during the war OF
the rebellion did great service by his
Union addresses. At the funeral OF the
late President Lincoln lie ofliciated with
great dignity. Among the works from
his pen which will probably live long
after him are 4 Hundred Years of Method
ism and the Cyclopedia of Mth0tiisa.

STURGEON JUBILEE.
The FiftIeth Birthday Of the Great Lon-
don Preacher Celebrated at
HOlbOrn Tabernacle.
Over Five Thousand People in Attend
ance-Mr. Spurgeon's Reply TO
His American Critics.
Address by Moody, the Eyangelist-The
Causes Which Led to His Visit
to England.

LONDON, June 1S.-The jubilee in honor
of the fiftieth birthday OF the Rev. Mr..
Charles II. Spurgeon was given at Holborn
Tabernacle tonight The building was
crowded, over 5000 persons being present
Two Christian HISTORIANS from Persia
were present. Mr.. Spurgeon and various
members OF the SpurgeOn family were
grouped on the platform and greeted with
prolonged cheering and waving OF hand
kerchiefs. The applause continued sew
eral minutes. After the opening hymns
were sung, the people united in prayer,
after which
MR.. STURGEON
addressed the meeting He spoke at some
length and with great feeling, almest NOV
ing the audience to tears. He thanked
his hearers in the warmest terms for their
cordial reception. He said: "Our Amer
lean friends are generally very cute
judges. | read often their opinions of me.
They have repeatedly asserted that Spur
geon is no orator. We have scores of bet
ter preachers in America, but it is evident
that Spurgeon breaches the gospel and
very celebrated men do not"
Spurgeon continued in his characteristic
style to urge preachers to preach more
simply and plainly the pure gospel of the
some preachers never evoked the SYM
pathy of mems hearts.
MOODY
then spoke and the assemblage rose in a
body, waving handkerchief, amid I'M
bounded enthusiasm. Moody said he
believed he never would have come to
England if it had not been for Mr.. Spur
geon. Twenty-Five years ago, when he
was converted, he read everything obtain
able t at Spurgeon said or wrote. He
came across the Atlantic in 1867 and took
Il seat in the gallery of the Tabernacle.
He would like TO take that seat
BACK TO AMERICA.
[ Laughter. When he returned to America
he tried to preach himself [laughterl, but
he returned to England to try to learn
little more from Spurgeon, and he never
entered the Tabernacle without obtaining
a blessing.
A list of fourteen congratulations from
associations at home and abroad were next
read. Among them was one from the
Philadelphia Baptist Conference, the
Canadian branch of the Pastors College,
and Mr.. Surgeons father and two
brothers
