breaking the record this season scarcely q
day passes but some achievement to which IL
has been customary "to point with pride be-

the New-York Board of Aldermen progress IS
the exhilarating motto of creation. On the
whole this advancement of standards is cred

Mr.. Cleveland thought otherwise, and has done
Il with neatncss, If not with dispatch. There

next disclose itself in some new feat, though
we understand that the pig and pumpkin

paicn liars and other gallant competitors are
in active training and surcharged with agility
and hope.
The foregoing observations have been made
for the purpose of leading smoothly and grad
ually xp TO the prediction that nobody will ever
witness tho breaking OF one record which has
been made this yea The month Of September
has passed away, leaving an unapproachaoie
memory behind. When september was sent up
for thirty days this year as usual EVERYBODY
supposed he knew what was coming. but IN
reality no ono had the faintest conception OF
what has since been proved TO be the glorious
and blessed truth. September Is the traditional
scapegrace of tho calendar The month VIC

According TO Homer, it was invariably her gait

September struck gait at the very outset
which suggested her supernatural character
and maintained it to the very end She passed
from our sight on shining and pcrfamcd pinions
We shall never look upon her like again.

of this revision. as 4 whole, will undoubtedly
commend themselves TO Episcopaans. For the
PRAYER Book as revised will be improved and
enriched in many ways. while at the same timo
il will he moro flexible and better adapted to
tho needs Of religious worship to-day. 1t -
hardly likely that there will bo any further
revision Of tho book for many years to come.
Noxt in popular interest to the revision OF the
PRAYER Book will be tho discussion of 4 new
Hymnal which will be submitted by a Joint
commission appointed three years ago. This
proposed book has been before tho Church for
some months, and, judging from the opposition
to il developed in the UNCONVENTIONAL organs, it
is not likely to be adopted. But it is just tho
sort OF question to excite great deal of dis
cussion, as it involves Mt once questions OF old
association, taste and theology, and so consid-
cradle timo will probably be spent on it.
One of the most practical matters to como
before tho convention will be the reports on
the state of tho Church. and Church extension
in the domestic and foreign missionary fields.
The growth OF the Church during the last three
years has been marked in almost every diocese.
In the larger cities particularly on tho Atlantic
scaboard, it has been especially noticeable.
And the claim is made that in this city its
ratio of increase is greater than that of any
other Protestant body Whether this is so or
not. Episcopalians have abundant reason to be
cratfed at tho many evidences of prosperity
which their Church exhibits. The bitterness
Of its old internecine conflicts has largely disap-
reared and its clergy and people are address
inc themselves with good success to questions
Of evangeliza.ion and practical work. Tho re-
markablc growth of the Brotherhood Of st.
Andrew, which is now holding its seventh
annual convention in Boston, is Il suggestive
sign of the new and aggressive vitality which
is beginning TO pe-meate the Church. This is
an association of laymen whose object is TO
promote spirituality among its members and
to impress the teachings Of the Church upon
young men generally. 1t has already become
powerful agency in many hundred parishes
