METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH NOT REsPOS-


sIBLE FOR THE BISHOPS POLITICAL UTTFRANCEs
To the EdftOr or The TrtbuHe.


SIR: On my return this morning from the ami
versary exercises of the Sunday-school Union and of
the Tract Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
held in Boston on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday
last, learn that there have appeared in your col
umns some severe structures based upon certain
remarks made in the Boston Preachers meeting Oh
Monday morning by Bishop Gilbert Haven, and for
which the societies in question have. at least to
some extent, been held responsible. Allow to
make statement which VIII place the Sunday
school Union and the Tract Society in a proper
light.


1. The address of Bishop Haven was made before
the Boston Methodist Episcopal Preachers meeting
in compliance with an invitation extended to him
two weeks before TO report to the preachers the
state of the work in the South, bis special field of
labor.


2 The Bishop. in the course of his remarks made
alluson to the third term" and understood
by those present TO recommend the denomination Of
MIR. Grant.


3. Toward the close Of the meeting n resolution of
welcome and of compliment 10 the Bishop was
unanimously adopted. No supposed that the
vote had any reference to the third term question


4. In any case the representatives Of the Sunday
school Union and of the Tract Society, present at
the Preachers meeting by invitation had nothing
whatever to do with the invitation to the Bishop,
the sentiments he advanced or the vote of welcome
which was rendered to him.


.. The societies have the honor to represent and
10 defend are entirely devoted to the Christian
work for which they were organized. and have not
as such the slightest interest either in the platforms

steps, and not only that, but as stated be- fore, such an eXorbitant price is charged for marriage, that very many Of the poor cannot pay the demand, and therefore for the sin of not having money to pay the fee they are denounced as adulterers and their children as bastards, with the future prom ise of being plunged into burning lake of fire and birthstone, and there to writhe in anguish for all eternity, unless good friends come up with sufficient funds to appease the wrath of God. Oh, what an infinite amount of good little money does if given to the priests in time! Christ and the Apostles preached the gospel, healed the sick and buried the dead with out money and without price, but there are few church organizations at the pres ent time that would receive Christ and his Apostles within their select fold.

~E understand Brigham Young, the Mormon apostle, is determined if possible, to establish a colony in Sonora; his great desire to get out of the United States is to get away from the influence of our public schools. He claims that they are doing much to crush MormOnism out of his peo- pie, and believes by establishing strong colony in Sonora and making common

 fight in cooperation with the Catholic priests, that they will be able to break up the public schools the people of Mexico are now trying to establish, and thereby keep the people from receiving only such education as the Mormon and Catholic priests choose to give them. We sincerely hope that they will fail in this effort. The poor people of Sonora have been perSe cuted until nearly the last drop of life'S blood is crushed out of them, and we hope that they will be spared from this addi- tional affiiction.

He says that man going from Tucson 10 Santa Cruz got lost and fell in with seven Ind ians on Babocomari creek just above the San Pedro.

It is very cer- tain that these Indians have got 10 be con- trOlled and kept on the reservation or trouble will ensue.

1t is an open secret in political circles that
the Presidents belief in himself and his as

Republican party have become so offensive as
to have seriously disaffccted some Of the most

again to be as favOrably arranged as the most
malignant enemy of the city could desire, for q

hitherto been known as the great New-YOrk fire

no lessons from experience. Not one house

of the city is in any proper tire-prO0f. Some
of the worst because the most treacherOus, buildings
in the city are those filled with iron columns or with
other dangerous forms Of structure, which falsely
pretend TO be fire proof. These would go down like
wax before any large fire. We only need one other

carried underground, as they might easily be- we

Practically the members of the Senate are to
be chosen by universal suffrage. A Senate
elected in this way would very probably be
Republican, and thus very strong guarantee
be given for the maintenance of republican
institutions, especially if dissolution depends
upon the consent of the Upper House.

The Board of Aldermen declared yesterday
that the system of street cleaning under the
Police Department, as under the contract syS-
ten, had failed, and took steps to urge upon the
Legislature the creation of Bureau of Street
Cleaning, under Commission, to be appointed
by the Mayor and confirmed by the Aldermen.

If we make self our point of view, and
look from thence at the subject of final
perseverance, we shall be sure to get
false view altogether, because it there
becomes a question of my perseverance,
and anything of mine must of necessity
be doubtful. But if, ON the other hand,
we make Christ our viewing point, and
look at the subject from thence, we shall
be sure to have a correct view, because
it there becomes a question of Christ's
perseverance; and we are quite sure that
He must persevere, and that no power of
the world, the devil, or the flesh, can
ever hinder his final perseverance in the
salvation of those whom He has pur-
chased with his own blood, seeing 'sIIe
is able to save to the uttermOst them
that come unto God by Him" And this
surely is final perseverance. 1t matters
not what the difficulty or what the hos
tile power may be, ''He is able to save
to the uttermost." The world, with its
ten thousand snares, is against us; ''but
He is able" Indwelling sin, in its ten
thousand workings, is against us; but
''He is able" Satan, with his ten thous-
and devices, is against us; but 'He is
able" In a word, it is Christ's ability,
not ours; it is Christ's final perseverance,
not ours. All depends on Him as to this
weighty matter. He has purchased His
sheep, and surelylHe will keep them to
the best of His ability; and seeing thar
''all power is given unto Hin in heaven
and on EARTH" His sheep must be per
feetly and forever saved. Haught could
touch the life of the feeblest lamb in all
the flock of Christ, He could not be said
to have ''all power. ."-Wr. Moody.

This morning Mayor Whiteley re-

Should it be the case that there is nc
such official as Treasurer, it has undoubt-
edly fallen into the hands of some other
one, or it would have been returned to
me through the dead letter Office. Should
it be that there is no money at present

expect the money or the note.
