the will of portion Of the congregation.
The pastor Of the church presided at the

be inserted in one of the next day'e
papers the following disclaimer of all re-.
sponsibility for introducing him to his

the First Bapt1ss church. states that the
visit of the Rev. Justin d. Fulton to

q question recently put to Cardinal
Manning. 81 know no example in Chris
tian history answered the cardinal, ''in
which whole people having once beer
robbed Of faith have ever returned to it
as whole. The return of Arlan ma
tons, such as Lombardy and Spain, to
Catholic unity is no example. But I
have an Interchangeable hope That both
Christianity and the Catholic faith,
which is Its perfection, will continue to
spread indefinitely among the English
because they never gave up the faith
but were robbed of it. and have been
born into state Of priYat1on.'

A perfect tida, wave IS at present agi-
tating the waters Of Anglicanlsm. The
conversion to Catholicity is recorded Of
Rev. DR.. Townsend, superior of q mis-
sion house of Oxford University at Cal
cutta, and this so soon after similar
step taken by DR.. B1vington, principal
of a similar institution at Bombay. It
is also given upon good authority that
Drs Tatlock, Beasley and Clarke, sta
toned respectively at Christ church.
Clopham, Helmsley, Yorkshire and st.
James, Liverpool, will shortly enter the
Catholic church. Since the beginning
of the Lenten season no less than one
hundred Anglicans have embraced
Cathollcity. aud this in one parish alone.
At Brighton, center of Ritualistic &C.
tivity, the number Of converts is reckon
ed at 500 persons. The Redemptoristss
whose convent is situated in the same
building with the British and American
Bible Society, have at least 1000 con-
versions to record. 4. g.,

Many a man is rich without money,
Thousands Of men with nothing in their
pockets, and thousands without even
pocket, are rich. A man born with &
good, sound constitution, good stom~
acb, . good heart and good limbs and a
pretty good head-piece, is rich. Good
bones are better than gold; tough mus
cles than silver; and nerves that fash
fire and carry energy to every function
are better than houses and land. It Is
better than y landed estate to have the
right kiud of father and mother. Good
breeds and bad breeds exist among men
as really as among herds and horses
Education may do much to check evil
tendencies or to develop good ones; but
il is . great thing to inherit the right
proportion Of faculties to start with.
