NOTES FROM ST JOHN s.

In his fourth lecture on 'The Church" the rector answered some of the pupular objections to it. One ques- tion was, "Do not Dissenterss do good as we'll as Church people," He said they undoubtedly did, but that that could never stand as an argument or an excuse for divisions among Christians, and that we could do a great deal more good if we were united, as everybody admitted that ''unity is strength;" and that taking the word "good" in it's generally accepted sense, great many people did ''good" who did not pretend to belong to any Christian denomination at all: and even unbelievers could do "good:" But, he said, this schism in the Body did great deal of harm, too, especial ly in lthe domestic and foreign mis- sionary fields, and showed how this harm was done, by one man teaching one thing and another man another thing. The speaker said he had spo. ken with quite few missionaries of various denomtnations upon this sub ject, and they all said that the great
