The retirement Of Nj. Aldrich from
the eIitorship Of The Atlantic, which
ne has filed for the past nine years,
has e,ici.ed high praise for the ability
with which he has performed its duties
and the breadth and cathOhclty OF taste
and Judgment that have given charac
ter 10 his work. The regret caused by
his resignation is tempered by the
knowledge that he will BOW be able Ia
devote himself exclusively TO original
composition. and that his successor l.
SO admirably qualified for his edl
torial position. Mr.. Horace l.. .Scud
der, indeed, has won high
literary reputation; but he is one Of
those modest men who never sound
their own trumpets. Though prolific
writer, much OF his work has appeared
anonymously. but ii is of a character
which illustrates his fitness tor his new
position. In the elaborate index to The
Atlantic which he prepared, there are
nearly five pages with double columns
of titles Of his contributions 10 that
periodical. These include articles On a
great variety of subjects, besides stories
and sketches; and OF special significance
are the numerous reviews OF books. his
tory and bellies lettres being prominent.

The defeat of the copyright bill IN

of 1876 TO 81. disproves the assertion 50
often made in certain quarters that the
sentiment Of the public Is growing
more and more favorably disposed 10
the measure, for. remembering that the
vote on the measure last session was
almost a tie, il would seem that longer
consideration OF its merits has IN
creased rather than lessened the oppo-
sitiOn TO its passage. Nor Will the fate
OF this bill appear uudeserved, when
its characteristics and intent are criti'
cally examined. IL purported to be an
authors bill. In their name it was
drawn up, in their name Congress was
asked to make it law. On eXamiDa-
ton IL proved. instead Of an authors 9,
to be a publishers bill, aud
to be strongly opposed to the
interest of the general public. giving
the publishers the right to Increass the
cost of foreign books-a virtual mo-
uopoly or patent for forty'two years
Indeed. the foreign author beng left TO
accept whatever terms were offered
him or be debarred from publishing on
this side the ocean At all. The pro-
motors OF the bill seem agreed that It's
defeat was due to the action OF Mr.. Pay
son, of Illinois, 10y which was struck
out tho provision that foreign books
should be printed in the United States
20 obtain a copyright. But was 1t not
logical and reasonable To diyest il Of

Mr. Moody invites ID this conference
all Christians who long for closer
communion with God, and more spirit
ual wisdom, zeal aud power t. do his
work.
\ conference is to be held in Winni-
peg Manitoba. shortly to consider the
question of forming union OF the An
glican Church IN British North Amer
len. At present the Church is divided
into two ecclesiastical provinces, that OF
Canada and that of Rupert's Land.
There are, besides, four independent
dioceses under the jurisdiction Of the
Archbishop of Canterbury. There are.
m all. nineteen dIOceses north of the
United States. Dat of "a population OF
nearly 5000 600, $50 600 are said to be-
members of the Church of England ,
which has twenty bishops and l,2OO
clergy.
Of the phi SIS Of the Catholic church
in this country, numbering IN all o3j2,
ONLY 2.2t7 or about One-fOurtn, accord
ing to recent report, are members OF
religious orders. OF this number Gj1
are Jesui's. 1928 Beuedictnes, 23l Fran
cisoans. l03 Redepmtorists. 90 Domri-
cans - Capuchins, the remainder be-
ing divided among nineteen other re-
ligiOus orders.
The great differences in religious ex
crciscs grow out of the fact that there Is
a great difference between our being IN
religion. and religion being within us.
There are so many. too many, 1t seems
to me. " ho are simply in religion. They
move in a religious atmosphere anu
handle religious things, yet are at the
mercy Of their Compartments and the
sport of circumstances. There are other
whose spirits religion occupies and
pos,esses; with such God is present both
IN the crowd and in the wilderness, and
they have no need to seek for faith any -
where, for faith possesses them every
where,-J. G Holland.

Italy, will remain open throughout the

vices on Sundays from July to October,

The American church in Rome has for
some years past been kept open through
the whole summer every other year

thus an open season OF ten and hall
months in the year, as against FIX OF
seven months before the church within
the walls was BUILT.

BOOKS AID POSTAGE.

An effort Is making in Congress to
secure an adjustment of postal rates on
printed matter 30 as TO avoid certain
existing injusLices and inequalities.
The postage on printed books is eight
cents a pound; that on magazines and
other serial publications one cent "a
pound. Certain publishers issue books
IN magazine or pamphlet form under "A
serial name, aud by that device secure
the lower rate, though in fact each
number of the so called serial is com
plete book, usually a pirated one AL.
ready competing unfairly with the
books that must pay the eight.cent
rate.
This injustice is properly complained
Of by the publishers OF books as books;
it might also be- complained OF by the
public as tending to lower the standard
Of boOSmaking, to the detriment of thh
community.
Bat ihe cheap library issues render a
service, and beyond the stoppage OF
piracy by the enactment IL an honest
international copyright law, nothing
ayoidable should be done 10 impair
their usefulness. To compel them To
pay present book rates would be, prob.
ably. to stop their issue. But books IN
that form ought not 10 have advantage
over books in better forms. L. costs NO
more to carry book which Is called
book than to carry the same weight in
books which are called Libraries.
The two ought to bear precisely the
same postal rate, but that rate ought
not TO be either the higher or the lower
of those now charged. 1t ought To DO
the lowest rate at which printed books
can be carried without loss TO the de-
partmeut. In that way the postal SER
vice will fulfil the primary purpose of
its being, which is 10 bring the meaus
of education, culture and information
within The reach OF all the people at tho
lowest possible cosi.-New York
