BuCkham said in part: "Ritualism has
been supposed to have more power with
the rude and uncuitured classes as seen
in the Salvation army. We must get rid
of some errors; first that the sermon is
no part of the worship. The great ages
of the church are those which have en-
phasized the Office of prophet. We must
get rid of the idea that extemporary
prayer is the only form of prayer. Free
man objects to eXtemporary prayer on
the ground that the minister does it all.
| do not hesitate to say that the Book of
Common Prayer is the highest achieve
ment of the human mind under the guild
ance of the Holy Ghost, and yet do not
advocate its general adoption; but there
Is no reason why we should not avail
ourselves of the treasures which it con-
tlins. There is one language of prayer
as well as poetic diction. We should
seek the best form of expression in wOr-
ship. A Christian Year leaving out
Saints Days has been generally adopted.
The addition of a season of Lent would
complete all that is desired in this direc-
ton. We are in the midst of a move
ment toward an enrichment of the SER
vice which has been slow. Let it con-
tinue to be slow. More and more the
church is learning to appreciate historic
Christianity, and that she is not simply a
sect, but part of the Holy Catholic
church." The Rev. Mr.. Severance, OBJ
jected to the ritual, saying that it cramps
the freedom of the soul in worship, and
that history shows that it is not favor
able to a high form of spiritual life.

Scheme of a schemer.


A correspondent SENDS the tOllOWlnS:
ARLINGT N, vt. Jan. 255h, 1895.
EditOr Of the BdHner-Having seen in
your last issue that the stamp collecting
craze for Miss Edna Brown, was on in
your village, | thought perhaps this
clipping from the Rochester Democrat
and Chronicle of Jan. 23d, might be in
teresting to your many readers,
Yours, ONE OF THE VICTIMS.
The article referred to is as follows:
The unfortunate habit of monkeying
with geometrical progression is one that
is inbred in many people. and seems to
come from the same original source from
which emanatcs the curiosity concerning
the gold brick, the inquisitiveness as to
the three shells, and the tendency on the
part of the substantial lgriculturalisC to
draw money from the bank tO prove that
he has it when appealed to by the bunco
man.
But now there is a new development.
Within the past month or so many young
girls in this city have received letters
from personal friends asking them to do
a kindly act in aid of a young girl living
a Kaneville, Kane county, ILL.,, who was
rep esented to be in need of medical
treatment 1t was stated that the young
woman, who had been cripple from
very early age, would be received into a
sanitarium, and given suitable treatment
if the appeal made for the collection of
one million cancelled postage stamps
proved effeCtual. As consequence, the
person who received the letter from her
friend was requested to return the letter,
with ten or more Cancelled postage
stamps, to Miss Edna Brown, at the adj
dress above given.
Her own letter was given certain
number, under fifty, ana she was asked
to write three letters, in duplicate, to
three of her acquaintance, asking each
to carry out the plan by sending ten or
more Cancelled stamps to Kaneville, and
to write in turn, three letters to persons
known to her. The original recipient of
the letter was asked to number the let
ers sent to others one higher than the
number which her own bore, and the
person receiving the number fifty was to
return the letter with the stamps, but to
write no more, as the 'chain' would
then be complete.
If there was any Discrimination or fail
ure from other cause, the letter was to
be returned to Miss Brown so that it
might be known that the ''chaip" was
broken, which was represented to be Sc
+ Gus calamity.
The results of this plan have now al
most buried the unfortunate hamlet of
Kanevlle, in mail. 1t is little hamlet,
which lies five miles from the railway
station of Sugar Grove. Over these five
miles tolls IA star route carrier, who fig
ured his contract upon the basis of the
usual small sack of mail, daily. This
man is now undecided whether he will
90 into bankruptcy or apply for the APP
pointment of commission in lunacy,
for the daily average of letters filled with
stamps, now now amounts to three or
four thousand.
