THE RELIGIOUS PRESS,

The Freeman's Journal speaks of 'whai

trix, have revealed to chosen souls.r
The Pittsburg Christian Advocate says,
"When the press OF this country will do one

stress that they will for an IMMORAL actress.
a great start will be made toward burnish
ing up the jewel of consistency"
Tho Living Church says: "Mr. JOSEPH
Cook, in his Boston lectures, has come Out

He claims that they should teach morality.

The Rev. Theodore NJ Riley writes to The
Church Eclectic on the mission of Milwaukee
THE effect OF the whole mission upon the en-.
tire city has been very marked. Mil
waukee has been exceptionally worldly AMI
exceptionally hostile TO supernatural Chri,-
tianity. and TO everything that Represented
it; but, notwithstanding, night after night
men OF every class, of every parish, OF
every religion Jews, Roman Catho
lies, Methodists, Presbyterians, etc., and Of
no religion, have focked to the cathedral tc
sit absorbed and serious under the preaching
OF the missioners, and in many cases to cast
themselves at the feet OF the missioners tc
lay bare their sins and seek Gods pardon.
Here is where an especial feature of thii
mission presents Itself. Men are not lef'
only TO their emotions, but are first stirred
to contrition, then offered the ministry Of
abSolution, then are led to the
altar OF Christ, to receive aim into ~oleansed
and renewed hearts. No mission can bs
thoroughly successful without this And
the church owes much to the bishop OF Wis
consin in this as in other matters connected
with his administration Of his diocese, thai
he has trusted everything that Is Gods tc
Gods own protection, and has been held
back by no weak or unworthy fear OF abuses.

A correspondent of The Freeman asks
Are our pulpits to be advertising offices and
ourselves advertising agentsl Would it moi
suffice to allow bills, of a right character, to
be put on notice boards outside or in the
porch OF our chapelsi Can the people re
member all the notices as they are an

remember themf Would not some hich ART
sent for announcement be better forgotten
than rememberedf Is not the practice u

On this The Freeman observes: The prac
tic belongs to a non-reading age, and Is In
d.iens bic in the present day. 1t is to spirit
uaily minded people like some unresolvei dis
cord In a piece OF music. mhrring the full
harmony Of the service 1t will die hard, but
pass away il must, and its memory will be q
theme Of great merriment In days to come.
OF the Rev. John Miller's surprise and
qualification on learning from Archbishop
Corrigan that Protestants were not regarded
in that quarter as irretrievably lost, The
Waterman says; The Roman Catholic church
