If half score OF prominent literary

FoR the first time in English history
there are four cardinals or the Roman
Catholic Church resident IN England.
These are Cardinal Manning archbishop
or Westminster; Cardinal Howard, now

eaTBE Office of religion is not to build
affairs, but character; not TO scatter IN
cense, but helpful influences; not TO
offer oblaEions, but the perpetual sacrl-
fee OF rights business, ana a contnte

THEpeculia1 Interpretation of ChriSJ's
teachings made by Count IolstOl, ard
his example in renounclngs his former

THE FREE-CHCRCH SYSTEM.
We note steady progress on the
part of free churches-that is, churches
open to all and supported by voluntary
gifts. The agitauon IN b 5Oalf OF the
movement continues in the Christian
community, and with results that show
the superiority of the free-seat to the
rental system. Church and syna
gogue differ, of course, in methods and
traditions, and what is wholesome
for one may be injurious for the
other; but when the welfare OF
humanity at large becomes the aim
of both, rather than an association tor
the payment of salaries and the interest
on mortgages, we may expect different
spirit to be aroused. This topic is too
important to be d smissed in para
graph. So far as the synagogue is con-
cerned, we believe it imperative that Its
atmosphere should be free, its worship
and its instruction be free. 1t does
seem an immense stretch of fancy tC
