The MORALS of the day find an apt
illustration in the scandalous affair of
Lord Lonsdale and the actress Violet
Cameron, who have recently arrived in
this country, and have eceived, we are
told, more notice from the New York
press than Gladstone or Bismarck
would have done This Lord Ions
dale, who'is one of the wealthiest lords
in England, is, it appears, the controller
Of SO livings in the Established Church
Of Engldnd-a fine commentary GER
tainly on the constitution of that body.
The New York correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun says:
No actress has ever before been given so big
an advertisement, without an equivalent, as has
been accorded to Violet Cameron, who is to ap-
pear at the Casino shortly in burlesque opera.
Miss Cameron has been scarcely three DAYS in
the country, and the New York papers have
devoted more space to her than they would
probably allow to visit FROM Gladstone or
Bismarck, True, this burlesque actress is accom-
panied by an English peer, the head of a noble
family of long descent and great wealth, whose
estate covers tens of thousands of acres of Eng
y,
" livings" IN the established church of England
True, this noble lord has left his sick wife at
home to manage" this burlesque actress. whose
own husband follows them to this country in
another steamer and stops at another hotel
Good foundation, this, on which to build lofty
edifce of scandal. But there is a shrewd sus-
picion that Violet Cameron, Lord Lonsdale, and
the alleged irate and off cast husband are work
ing" the New York press for the biggest kind of
free advertisement. There seems to be a good
understanding between the peer and the hus-
band The latter breathes all kinds of threats
of vengeance against Lord Lonsdale into the
ears OF the reporters. and then dimes at Del
monico's with his lordship, or drinks cock tail
with HIM over the Hoffman House bar. The
whole affair has the appearance of having been
cleverly arranged in order to pack the Casino
with curious public during Violet Cameron's
engagement there-and it will probably sue
ceeded.
AS the holder of 50 livings i'm the
Church, and the manager at the same
time of the Violet Cameron troupe in
the burlesque at the Casino, Lord Ions
dale may, we presume, be regarded as
the missing link which holds together
the Church and the Stage.

HE CoREANs IN SAN FRANCISCo.-A
correspondent writing to the PreSbyte,
ridn; of Philadelphia, from San Fran
cisco, has the following interesting item
about the Corean refugees who escaped
some years ago to this country:
The work among the Coreans here is full of
interest. The readers of the Presbyterian, doubt
less know that at the instruction in Corea,
when the Chinese and Japanese were contend
ing for control. there was fearful massacre, and
that soon after several OF the Embassy fled TO
America PAX Yong Hio, prince, has returned
to Japan. Sab Jai Pill, colonel in the army,
was in San Francisco brought to Christ, and
united with the Howard Presbyterian church,
and is expecting soon, though the interest taken
in him by Eastern friends of missions 10 enter

of Affairs, expects to go to the College at New
Brunswick. Thus through the conversion of
the higher class of educated Coreans will that
hermit nation become permeated with the Cos
pei. These men were highly EDUCATED before
they reached our shores. Numbers of the lower
class have also arrived, and are being taught
The Rev. ]. B. Roberts, of Howard church and
DR.. Thompson, of Berkely, have been indefati
gable in bringing the gospel truths to bear upon
the minds and hearts of the prncely exiles,
knowing what influence they will have in Corea

WHAT NEYT2

We have occasionally called atten-
ton to the power which is welded by
the Jews in Germany, Austria, and
Russia. A large portion of the landed
property in these countries they hold
under mortgage. In Germany they
control the liberal press.
The statement is now given by M.
Drumont, in a recent book, that they
control with one exception all the great
journals of Paris, and that they have
control also of the railways and banks
of France. The secret of the recent
Tonquin war, in which France expend-
ed $3.50, 100000, is said to be that the
trade Of that country had been farmed
out to a Jewish syndicate.
Truly wonderful people. We should
think that the role they play, and have
played, mere wanderers for several
thousand years over the earth, would
attract the attention, and puzzle the
minds, of those who do not believe in
the Bible prophecies with regard to
them. When Jerusalem was destroyed
eighteen hundred years ago by Titus,
that seemed the end of them. At the
same moment Paul turned from them
to the Gentiles. They were crushed
by the Romans, and the apostles of the
new religion turned their backs on
them. But observe: in Romans XII 2,
Paul added-"I say then hath God
cast away his people? God forbid. {.
God hath not cast away his people
which he foreknew." And in verse %,
"For / would not brethren, that We
should be ignorant Of this mystery,
lest ye should be wise in your own con
ceits, that blindness in part is happen.
ed to Israel, until the fulness Of the
Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel
shall be saved as it is written" etc.
So that at that point of depression,
eighteen hundred years ago, in the
very act Of recognising their rejection
Of the gospel, and in full view of the
approaching destruction of Jerusalem,
ST. Paul reiterates the prophecy that
they should ultimately be saved, but
that blindness should rest upon them
"until the fulness of the Gcntiles be
come in"
Now let us turn to the 21st chapter
Of Luke, and we find there again the
same idea expressed by Christ. He is
prophesying the approach of the Ro-
mans, and the destruction of their city,
and says "And they shall fall by the
edge Of the sword, and shall be led
away captive into all nations: and Je-
ruSalem shall be trodden dorm of the
Gentaes, until the times Of the Gentiles be
fufHed"
And so to-day, here the Jews are
scattered over the EARTH still perse-
cuted, but powerful, the bankers of the
world, holding to large extent the
retail trade in our American cities, di-
recting the press in large measure in

WE PUBLISH the "Declaration and
Testimony elsewhere, as promised last
week. The paper closes with the ex-
preston of an earnest hope "that many
of our church courts may be led to put
the seal of their disapprobation upon
the course of the Assembly" This is
call for an expression of opinion on
the course of the Assembly by the
Presbyteries and Synods. We cordial
ly unite in this suggestion. Already
some of the Presbyteries have spoken.
Cherokee Presbytery, in the Synod of
Georgia, among whose members were
two of DR.. Woodrow's brothers-in- law,
rejected by decided vote set of re-
solutions condemning the action of the
Assembly on the Evolution theory, and
in regard to Columbia Seminary. The
Presbytery of Chesapeake in this State
expressed its hearty appreciation of the
course of one of its commissioners, the
Rev. VIM. Dinwiddie, ID. D., in offering
the resolution which he presented in
the Assembly. The Presbytery of Up
per Missouri endorsed the action of the
Assembly. The Presbytery of Mem
phis (of which the Rev. ]. l.. Martin,
d. D., was Moderator) found nothing
in the proceedings of the Assembly re-
quiring the action of the Presbytery"
thereon. The Presbytery of Missouri
fully endorsed the course of the AS
sembly. The Presbytery of Potosi
{ MissourD also heartily endorsed "both
actions" of the Assembly. The Pres
bytery of Columbia (Tennessee) also
endorsed the Assembly. So far as we
are aware, the Presby of Palmyra,
Missouri, is the only one so far that
has even appeared to take different
course, and here, by vote of to Z,
the Presbytery merely declined to APP
prove. Indeed correspondent of the
st. Louis Presbyterian writes to that
paper that the vote of the Presbytery
was not against the action of the AS
sembly, but was merely intended to
express the idea that the Presbytery
deemed it inexpedient to say anything
on the subject. This was one of the
Presbyteries that overturned the AS
sembly to make deliverance on the
subject
We trust the Synods as well as the
Presbyteries will give expression to the
sense of the Church on this question.
We should have hesitated to call for
review of the action of the Assembly
by the lower courts, but as the Declar-
alton and Testimony invites it, let us
have it.

A FEW SABRATHs AGO the Mayor of
Madrid (Spain) knocked at the door of
the British chapel and ordered the
clergyman on pain of Imprisonment to
leave the pulpit and the congregation
to dispense. When asked the reason
for this proceeding, he replied some
what evasively, that the singing dis
turbed the neighborhood. This same
Mayor has refused to permit the open
ing Of the Protestant schools closed

cluded that it belonged to Jonah, and

CHINAMEN IN RICHMoND.-There are,

more experienced in it in New York, and have
had the methods of teaching made known to US,
and have secured necessary books, &C. from the
Chinese depot of the American Sunday School
Union. In this connection l have had sent to

In presence of the avalanche of filthy, OBJ
