Two Bagdad Jews have bought the entire
site of ancient Babylon. On this LIE Chre-
tien Beige well remarks: is it not a signifi-
cant fact that two Israelites should to-day
possess the soil and the ruins of the i'm
mense city where their ancestors were cap
tiveS and slaves, and of which their proph-
cts had announced the utter destruction!

work for some time establishing school at
Chicago for the training of men and women
to lead in the work of evangeliZation among
the poor and neglected of the cities. With
an endowment fund OF S150, 900 to start
with, he has already prepared one building
for women, and in two months another will
be ready for the accommodation of 100 men,
with lecture room and class rooms ample
enough for a greater number. Tuition will
be free, and all expenses as low as possible.

Speaking of the doctrine of entire sane
LITIGATION as held by Wesley, brother
said: Il believe in entire sanctificatiOn,
gradually approached" What Wesley
really taught about entire sanctifcation in
his maturer years is that it is attainable
gradually, but consummated instantane-
ously, and MS doctrine was that the con-
summation was to be desired and looked for
in this life Simple faith and good living
are the only paths to it. Metaphysical dis
tizSspons, no less than acrimonious discus
sYons on the subject, generally ''darken

Christian ADVOCATE.
A committee of the Episcopalian conven-
ton has been considering the question of
marriage and divorce, and it was agreed
upon canon on the subject to be sub
mltted and recommended to the general
convention. This canon prescribes some
very commendable provisions, which, how
ever, are by no means new. They have
been from time immemoIial enjoined by the
Catholic church. 1t is a pity that the
Episcopalians cannot see their way to set
ting this important question once for all, |
by adopting the marriage law of the Ancient
and Universal church. 1t is the law which
upholds and defends the dignity of woman,
which guards the rights and interests of
children, and maintains and sanctifies the
Miaily relations. - FrcemGn'S Journal
