performances were performed by me-

OF the worst sort. She has had to aban-

Congrsgationsist, speaking of this, says:

on the glory of having risen above the
superstition known as Christianity into
the pure light of theosophy and Buddhism.

The Examiner, the Baptist paper, at
New York takes part in the discussion OF
the question as to the attendance Of work
ingmen at church, which has been so ex-
tensively treated in the columns Of the
Christian Union, the Independent and the
Evening Post ut seems to us" says the
Examiner, that the question turns large
ly upon the meaning Of terms. If by
'workingmen we mean artisans exclusive
ly, it may be granted that a small proper.
portion of that class in our large cities is
| to be found in our Protestant churches.
And the reason is plainly that the majority
Of them are Of foreign birth, and are either
Romsnists or infdels. That artisans OF
American birth are hostile to the churches
or less represented IN them than any other
class has not been shown, and we believe
cannot be shown" The editor of the
GLoBE-REPUBLIc happens to know Of sew
eral churches in Springfield that are com
posed almost exclusively of workingmen
and their families.
