"Thy fervent Christian friend,
''WILLIAM PENN.
The chapters treat of the cross, its
necessity, its meaning, and of pride, ar
rogance, luxury, virtue and temperance.
The heathen writers and warriors are
quoted freely. Then at the close OF the
book is a letter from Penn's father, in
which he says:
Firstly, let nothing in this world
tempt you to act against your conscience;
secondly, what you design to do, do
justly and reasonably, and be not troubled
with disappointments."
William Penn, the present owner OF the
book, declares that it is the only copy in
existence, though he said there were
copies of another edition of the work. lie
wouldn't let it go to the Worlds Fair for
fear OF it's being lost. There are other
Penn relics in the family. \ diary Kept
by the founder after his coming to
America is in the hands of Eliza Penn,
along with some old coins which he car
ried, but she keeps them under lock and
key.
Lawyers and others well posted in his
torical and legal matters declare that
there is not the remotest possibility un-
der the sun that such a fortune as the
Penn heirs expect daily 10 be distributed,
is in the Bank OF England to their credit,
and one able gentleman said:
THE only question that arises out of
the story is whether some lawyers are
working a fake on the Penn heirs or
whether some of the Penn heirs are
working a fake on somebody else"
A failure and reorganization of the
Bank of England has occurred since
Penn's time. The absurdity of any pos
sible claim to lands in Pennsylvania
would occur in many ways, but especially
in the old Acts of the law-making power
of the State, confirming all titles that
were long ago questioned by reason of
any doubtful or missing link in convey
anceS from Penn.
The plan of the Penn heirs, however,
as soon as they get the Sl0,000,000 cash,
from England, is to use that to fight for
their lands in Pennsylvania.-Ch

Expressions From the Various Re-
ligious Newspapers
The Religious Thought of the Day as
Expressed In the Sectarian Press
Some Matters of Interest to Both
Ministers and Laymen.

Referring TO Mr.. Royce's article on the
decline of the American pulpit, the New
York Outlook says: 1--WE do not believe
that the American pulpit VIZ ever as
strong as it is to-day; or ever had as
potent an influence; or ever possessed so
many men Of prophetic nature; or ever
was more charged with divine message;
or ever spoke so practically, directly,
efficiently, to the lives and conscience of
men. An age which has given a Phillips
Brooks to the Episcopal pulpit and a
Henry Ward Beecher to the independent
pulpit is not an age marked by pulpit de-
cline. For Phillips Brooks and Henry
Ward Beecher were both typical men,
and, though without peers, were not
without disciples, possessed of less ability
indeed but of like spirit-the spirit of
prophecy. We resent the cynical declara-
ton that there seems to be prevalent
notion among the clergy that the chief
business of the preacher is to entertain
and amuse'; and we wonder where the
writer has been to church. Has he list
ened in Boston to Edward Everett Hale,
or George A. Gordon, or E. Winchester
Donald; or in New York to John Hall.
or Charles II. Park hurst, or Morgan
Dix, or w. r. Rainsford; or in Chicago to
Frank w. Gunsaulus, or E. p. Good
win. or Jenkin Lloyd Jones? We pick
almost by chance a few of the typical
men of different pulpits-Episcopal
and independents conservative and radical
Where against these is there one man of
note in the American pulpit. whose at
tractiveness in his power to entertain
and amuse'?"
On the same subject the New York In
dependent remarks: There are some
very grave questions for thoughtful men
IN connection with our ministry, its
qualifications and sources of supply: but
no discussion of them is of the least value
that does not rest on broad basis of fact.
The fact is that the number OF trained
ministers is not stationary; it has not
been proved that the material out of
which they are made is of the poorest
or even poorer than it used to be; it is
The record-union., 1894-02-03

not shown that there is any decline in
the American pulpit. nor that there are
fewer college men who seek theological
education. President Fisher shows that
OF ,64l students in eleven representative
seminaries of various denominations less
than third are without college educa-
ton. In three Presbyterian seminaries
there are only 20 out of 57l students who
did not enter with college diploma.
Other professions may be safely chal-
lenged to produce anything to compare
with this. Out of 4, ,451 medical graduates
reported in 1890 only 1880 had a college
degree. And does not every body know
that the theological course has been
vastly improved in late years? The num-
Der of instructors in each institution has
been greatly increased, and the men who
graduate are in every way better finished
for their work"
ITO mention creed, or a doctrine, or a
system Of theology has in many quarters
become exceedingly unpopular" re-
marks the AdUdnce (Cong.) of Chicago.
"W hat is wanted, it is said, is to preach
not doctrine Dut 'life,' and it is entirely
immaterial what is the opinion of church
members on a large variety Of dOctrinal
points which have hitherto been consid
cred essential. In consequence there has
been a great letting down of standards
for church membership. a declared in
tention to lead life in accordance with
the teachings of Christ is all that is re-
quired in many cases, and all questions
as to the nature of the Scriptures, as to
sense of past sin and the need OF redemp-
ton from it, as to the divinity Of Christ
and the nature of his atOnement, and as
10 the future life, are brushed aside as i'm
material. Conversion in the deep and
vital sense in which it was formerly un-

cases. This is not denied by those who
are opposed TO .'creeds.' It is considered
a great improvement. But the result has
been that membership OF many churches
is composed of people of almost every
shade of belief on fundamental Christian
doctrines. with the result that the moral
tone, the conference, and the efficiency of
the whole body have been seriously I'M
paired. 1t would hardly seem credible,
yet it is true, that the very ones most ac-
tive in bringing about this innovation are
those most loudly deploring the deca-
dence of the church,
Now it cannot be too often re-
peated," says the New York Church-
man (P. E.), that the teaching of the
church, on all essential matters, is per-
fectly clear. The church has spoken
with no uncertain sound on such doc
trlneS as the DIVINITY OF ChrlSt, the 'SufH-
cheney for salvation of the sacred Scrip
lures and the like; and on such princi-
pies of discipline as the three orders of
the ministry, and that nobody can be
considered minister Of this church who
has not received ordination by Bishop.
When it is charged that large number
of the clergy disbelieve these doctrines
and are traitorously doing their utmost
to undermine them, we take leave to say
that those who make them should have

constantly in their mind the warning of
st. Paul that 'perilous times shall come
when men shall be false accusers.' II
such traitors there are, they must be
known individually: they must be in
some ecclesiastical jurisdiction; they can
be put upon their trial, and if convicted
they can, and most unquestionably ought
to be, excluded from the ministry."a
