A trotting race is reported as having
taken place at Riyerhead, L. l., on Fri
day, Aug. 4, in which five members of
the Worthwhile Christian Endeavor
society took part. Many members of
the church, including deacons and
Christian Endeavor leaders, were pres
ent. The race was for $50, and in
addition the Christian Endeavorers are
said to have backed their favorites
with the revenue from the potato crop.
The Endeavorers lost. Miss Mile
Luce was the only person who raised
voice in public against the uoings
of her associate Endeavorers. The
New York Herald is responsible for
the story.
The newly elected president of the
English Wesleyan conference, Rev.
f. w. Macdonald, in the course of his
address at the opening, said of skepti-
| cism: AS for skeptics, though they
did not disparage the human under
standing-the organ through which
God addressed men-they would not
assign supreme authority to the criti-
cal faculty. 1t was curious, by the way,
that men should call themselves skep-
| tics who had the most unhesitating
confidence and full belief in their alb
| solute knowledge of what was and
what was not possible"
The Mission World says there are in
the church over 100000 proselytes from
Judaism, and in the Church of Eng
land alone $50 of the clergy are either
Jews or sons of Jews. The gospel is
proclaimed in more than 600 pulpits of
Amel and Europe by Jewish lips
Over $50 of the ministers of Christ in
Great Britain are stated to be Hebrew
! Christians.
| 1t is now announced that the New
York state conference of religion is to
be held in New York city in 1900. The
executive committee has been enlarged
by the addition of the following five
names: Rev. S. T. Carter, Presby-
| terrain; Rev. W. G. Garnett, Unitarian;
Rev. R. H. Newton, ID. D., Congrega-
tionalist; Rev. l.. Williams, Baptist.
| The general secretary is Rev. Leighton
Williams, pastor of Amity church,
whose address is 312 West Fifty-fourth
street. The Outlook says: at is
hoped to convince by the coming con-
ference that religion invites those
whom theology divides, its effective
cooperation for practical results of
moral and social betterment and a
higher Righteousness in church and
state"
The New York Journal opposed the
candidature of Father Heldman for
congress because he had to get the con-
sent of his bishop before he could run
A correspondent of that paper reminds
it that Before the congress of the
United States was heard of the priests
of the Catholic church were subject to
their bishops and bound by their or
ders" The Journal then answered to
the point thus: at is quite true that
before the congress of the United
States was heard of priest of the
Roman Catholic church was bound by
certain rules. But 1t is also true
that ever since the congress of the
United States has existed a man to be
a member of it must be governed sole
ly by the constitution of the United
States and his own conscience. No
man is fit to sit in that congress who
requires the consent OF another man to
his becoming a candidate" All very
true, perhaps, but what about politi-
cal bosses?
correspondent answers in the Ex-
aminer baptist, New York; the ques-
ticn, "What constitutes church in
the Baptist denomination as follows,
in part: "The pastor. however
gifted and scholarly, is not the church.
He is only a member of 1t, selected
and set apart as teacher and leader
in spiritual things, whose mission is to
labor for the upbuilding of the particu-
lar church over which he presides He
has no special legal authority over the
weakest and poorest member of the
church by virtue of his church rela-
tlOHS. IL Is the members as "a WnOle
that constitute the church, and the
membership is confined to those who
are believers in the Lord Jesus Christ,
who are born again. made new
creatures in him, have been baptized
on confession of their faith, and are
keeping his commandments and walk
ing in him."
The Outlook, having recently pub
lished an editorial on Unity in Wor-
ship" in the course of which it said
some very complimentary things of
the Protestant Episcopal church
liturgy, a correspondent wants the
editor to explain why, believing as he
does, he is not an Episcopalian." The
editor says in reply: "The distinctive
Characteristic of the Episcopal church
Is not its ritual, but its form of gov
eminent. The bishops in the Lam
beth articles make acceptance OF the
episcopate as essential, as acceptance
OF the bible, the creeds, or the sacra-
ments, but they say nothing about
ritual. There are many who like
the ritual who do not like the epsco-
pate, and still mora who can not as
