Mr.. JOHN 81. CONVERSE, of the firm
of Burnham, Parry, Williams, & Co.,
the proprietors of the Baldwin Loco
motive Works, has about perfected
arrangements for the erection of a
building, which is to be gift by him
to the Presbyterian Hospital in Phil
adelphia. Mr.. Converse is one of the
Trustees of the Hospital, and is also
Secretary of the Board of Trustees.
The new structure is to be called the
Administration building, and will cost
between 100000 and $4,000. 1t will
be an ornamental structure of stone
and brick, and will be supplied with all
the improvements adapted to build
ing of the kind.

A LONDON PAPER, entitled Society
Journal, gives us the following pleasing
view Of an ideal Sabbath among the
"Soc iety" people in that region:
There is a club for the express purpose of
driving to Richmond on Sundays on returning
one need not be bored, for there are plays and
Sunday dances; some Of the best hops of the
season have been on the Sabbath, to say moth
ing of the charming entertainments at the Gale
ty. There is now no need to retire to bed
early, morose, and melancholy that there should
be such day in the week as an old-fashioned
Sunday"

A WRITER in the Advance delivers an
OPT Mon on preaching thus: ait may
be questioned how far it is wise to
go in the use of startling and outre
themes in the pulpit in order to
attract the multitude. Some min
listers have q sensational title to
their sermons and put a solid gospel
sermon behind it. This looks too much
like drawing a congregation on false
pretences. The crowd comes to hear
what the minister does not give them,
Of course they will soon find this out.
and a sensational bait will attract them
no longer. Some ministers live up to
their promise in this direction. A Ger.
tain bright young clergyman is preach
ing series of evening sermons, adver
Using, by flaming placard, subjects
such as these, The Dude, The He'll
Question, Miracles, and Elsmere. Now
not only can there be no spiritual re-
suits in sensationalism like this, but a
novelty hunting audience soon get tired
of it and seek for some new sensation.
Where is the golden mean between a
harmful sensationalism and tedious
monotony? We can none of us afford
to throw stones, but do need to watch
and learn. My own conviction is that
the un-churched are hungry for the
simple gospel, if they did but know it,
and that what we have to do, is, with
out pretence of sensationalism which
we do not intend to carry out, yet to
attract them by new ways and modes
of statement, and then awaken in them
an appreciation of the gospel by preach.

teresting a way as possible"

THE New York LETTER in a recent
issue of that excellent paper, the Public
Ledger OF Philadelphia, has the follow.
ing:
Prominent among those at the Yale athletes
banquet, at Delmonico's last night, was Alonso
Stage, the famous Yale pitcher. who, resisting
the tempting offers made to him to become a
professional base ball player is studying for the
ministry, and is doing efficient religious work in
connection with the Young Mems Christian As
ISOLATION at New Haven. He is not, however,
the only base ball player who prays before he
pitches. Rev Wilton NJ Smith, who has Just
accepted call to the pulpit of the Central Pres
byterian church in this city at salary of $1,000,
was in 1875, g. and 7, the pitcher of the Prince
ton College nine, and his skillful curves won
the championship for the college in those years.
Since he has become a clergyman he has by no
means lost his interest In the national game and
occasionally takes part in amateur matches He
has already won distinction in the pulpit. He
is at present stationed at Columbus, Ohio.

WRITING from abroad the correspon-
dent of the Philadelphia Presbyterian
says:
Are the days of short sermons passing1 1t
begins to look as if the turn of the tide was in
this direction among our English and Scotch
brethren. Principal Cairns says that he would
utterly despair Of the pulpit if sermons are to
be compressed into less than half an hour. In
regard to the condition OF further improvements
in the pulpit, he places first of all a strenuous
adherence to the old evangelical topics and ar
guments.
A sarcastic old-fogy clergyman says this is
how the charge to a modern candidate for the
ministry should be worded: Preach Robert
Elsmere' and the latest dictum of science. Be
instant in season and out of season to learn the
newest speculation in theology. Disprove all
things and hold fast to that which is good

Mrs. Mackey has been ordering some new
gowns in Paris which are described as surpass-

change
Forty thousand dollars, besides lace
and old.rose satin, on one human body.
A poor sinner, with (if she is like other
people, heart deceitful above all
things, and desperately wicked. An
angel might dress up, but for poor
lost sinner to decorate herself to this
extent, does seem homogeneous and en-
tirely out of keeping with the surround
ings. A great many of our lady
friends will not agree with us, but then
they probably do not believe in the
idea that they are such miserable sin
ners.

THE NEWS FROM IRELAND is more
encouraging. Under the head of
Political Reaction" the Belfast Wtt-
ness, organ of the Irish Presbyterian
Church, says:
" 1t is matter of much satisfaction
that, through the influence of recent
legislation, securing fair rent fxity Of
tenure, and free sale, the land agita-
ton in Ireland has almost completely
died away. We live at present under
new and better order Of things.
Landlords and tenants all over the
country, through the fundamentally
of the Land Courts, have come to
terms, save on thirty or forty estates
where the landlords are exacting and
obdurate, or the tenants wretched and
unreasonable. Except on these unhap-
py estates, all Ireland is free from or
binary crime-never more so than at
present. 1t is on those dark patches
of the country, mostly in the West of
Ireland, that the plan of campaign,
boycotting, evictions, outrages, barri-
cades, and sieges prevail-presenting
pictures in miniature of the capture
and sacking of an ancient city. Peo-
pie, as they read the details of these
local battles, in Geographic dispatches
sent over the kingdom, do not always
stop to enquire whether the rent is
fair, the debt just, or the tenant able
to pay; what they see is, that the
country is put to great expense in sup
porting the demands Of the landlord,
and they think that if the owner OF
the soil, instead of putting his affairs
into the hands of sharp attorney OF
other tough customer, had been at
pains to make a reasonable agreement
he would not have found his people
more difficult to settle with than the
tenants on other estates 1t is not the
landlord class, but the exceptional mer
among them-the Clanricardes, the
Vandeleurs, and O'Gradys, who are al
the bottom Of the mischief"

ARCHDEACoN FARRAR is writing the
Lives of the Fathers" He accepts
with Bishop Lightfoot, the Ignatian
Epistles (seven), but he is careful to
say that " the bishop" of Ignatius is
merely congregational bishop-in no
sense a diocesan-and is not discovered
from his Council of Presbyters.
When referring to Tertullian, he
brings out the fact that in the ante
Nicene Church, from the very earliest
times, the only appropriate position in
prayer was that of standing-kneeling
or sitting at prayer being unknown
and unpractised.
Speaking of the catacombs, he says
in regard to the cross: 81 have not
mentioned the cross, because if the
cross occurs at all in the catacombs it
is only in the disguised forms of. the
gamadias and the monograms of Christ
The earliest certain Latin cross is on
the tomb of the Empress Gala Placidia
A. ID. 451. Nor is there any realistic
picture of the crucifxion till the ninth
century at the earliest, nor any crucifS
till the sixth, nor any portable cruciix
lit is said) til many centuries later
From the representation of the dead
Christ the early believers shrank as
from an impiety. To them He was
the living, not the dead Christ"

The Manchester Presbyterian church
is making an earnest effort to build a

congregation have subscribed $4,000
but they will need help and eminently
deserve it. We do not know a con-

nobly to sustain their church. On the

news, is a notice of this church, and
an appeal for help which we hope will
meet with a hearty and liberal re-

The sELF-CoMPLACENT ARCH BIOLOGISTS
of Europe have been entertaining us
for score or two of years with ac-
counts of the Stone Age, the Bronze
Age, and the Iron Age, and pointing
out to us the great antiquity which
must be ascribed to the period when
mankind were in their Stone Age,
before the discovery of metals. These
stone implements were found at the
bottom of the peat boys, in ancient
lake dwellings, &c. Sir Charles Lyell,
in his oracular way, informed US in his
work on the Antiquity of Man, that
the peat of the Somme Valley was 3d.
900 years old.
After while, DR.. Schliemann came
along, and unearthed the remains of
ancient Troy, where he found plenty
of stone implements, more recent than
the Trojan War, and in association
with implements of bronze, and evil
dences of q rather advanced civilisa-
ton. He found similar state of
things at Mycen@ and Tiryns.
Within a few years past a great
deal of excavating has been going on
at Rome, and an Italian archeologist,
Signor Rodolfo Lanciani, informs us
that ave have discovered new arch
geological stratum totally unknown
before, the stratum of prehistori; or
traditional antiquities; we have dis
covered a metropolis older than the
walls of Servius Tullius containing
more than 5000 archaic specimens in
bronze, amber, stone, and clay; we
have brought to light more than five
thousand feet of the great Agger or
embankment of Servius, and ascer-
tanned the site of fourteen gates; we
have unearthed the remains of number
less houses and palaces, temples and
shrines, roads and drains, parks and
gardens, fora and porticoes, fountains
and aqueducts, tombs and mausolea
to such an extent that whereas in 1872
Science possessed only approximate
attempts at an archaeological map of
Rome, we have put at the disposal OF
students magnificent ones covering an
area of 1867, 200 square metres of the
ancient city"
What we wish to call attention to is
the statement that in the prehistoric
stratum, antedating Servius Tullius,
they have found many objects of
bronze and stone-just as they did at
Troy. The Romans, in other words,
700 or 800 years B. G. were in their
Stone Age.
