Negroes at Communion.

The Edgefield Is. CO Chronicle says -
During the late Episcopal Convocation it
was a scene at once noval and solemn to see
the coIored people at the holy communion.
The chaucel railing was crowded, and the
picture was grateful one, speaking volumes
in favor OF common humanity and a com
mon Lord. These people have their own
chapel, but being seated in the lower pews
Of the church, they went forward, when
they saw the priests about to cover up the
sacred vessels, as if by an irresistible i'm
pulse 1t would be better for the colored
people if they of ener manifested this spirit.
They would always be met as they we've on
this OCCASION"
We rather think it speaks volumes Of crit.
csm upon the Episcopal priests who would
dare to cover up the eucharist while crowd
of communicates (though colored) were
awaiting participation in the sacrament. In-
deed it is a scandal against the practices of
the church in those regions that anyone
should end it necessary to demand their
rights. The Incident of the Episcopal cler-
gyman covering up the elements, silently
abataiuing from invitation Of those colored
people to the Lords Supper is anything but
a g ateful sight, 1t speaks anything but
''voumes in favor of a common humanity
and a common Lord" It demonstrates that
those priests did not believe 10 such condi.
| tions. ...... ..-..

Bishop Becker's Sermon.

There was one particular point in the re-
aIkable conservation sermon by Bishop
Becker at Baltimore Cathedral Sunday last
that christians of all denominations will con
slider with marked degree of qualification
1t was where the preacher, turning to the
bishop-elect said Go, feed the flock v hich
has been entrusted in your care. l know
well that your modesty would ask me to keep
gracious silence, but cannot forget to say
why you are raised to this high dignity.
Placed in the peculiar position Of addressing
my successor, ask in the first place most
earnestly the benefit Of your prayers. May
he short comings Of your predecessor find
ample correction in your zeal, earnestness
and Judgment Go, teach and preach and
perform the works of the apostle. Your sheer
only ask to know your will in order to per-
form it. The people to whom you are sent are
generous and well disposed, aud those who
GUS and open hearted and without biogtry
Or i'll will"
Such frank courtesy aud liberality, though
gratifying, is not at all surprising fIom the
lips 0l the b shop of Savannah. Outside OF
his own flock there probably was never a
high church dignitary il this dice Sc who
possessed in SO full degree the sincere per
soual respect that Bishop B, cker at alt time,
commanded from protCstants Of all deuom
nations in Wilmington. This is not attribu
table simply to an appreciation of his higt
| scholastic attaiuments but more exactly al
outcome of his kindly human nature, an at
tribute which in tie long run makes alway,
the more abiding impress. ......"s

A Charnel House.

The New York Herald of Monday last in
speaking Of the condemnation by the City
authorities of the metropolis Of the cemetery
at the Eighteenth Street Methodist church
Ii New York city, opens it remarks with the
following words
Sentiment about the dead stands poor
chance when it encounters the necessities of
the living. The march Of progress has blotted
from the citys streets Ill, re than one careful
ly planned burial place whose incorp9rators
earnestly believed that Their work was to
be lasting, never dreaming of the struggle
for space that the future would produce iu
the metropolis"
Those words have application to Whining
ton though peahaps not exactly u the man
ner of the Herald writer.
Brandywine Cemetery is upon the northern
watershed Of the city d aiming directly into
the Brandywine River. The natural soal
age and htiltraIion has no ether fall or
drainage than in that direction. In other
words the water supply Of Wilmington is
dlily threatened at each freshet by contain
ination from cemetery the largest and old
est in this vicinage. In the name Of public
health why is it that there is no reference
made to this fact by those who have in their
charge the responsibility of the citys health.
It is not that we should like to know Clor
no intelligent human being can deny the
FEASIBILITY Of the argument Improbable dan
ger to human life under the circumstances
referred to- whether the public health is
threatened, but what is asked is that the
official body, the Board Of Health give their
open opinion upon the question of the per
petuation in our midst Of condition whose
