SERMON OF BISHOP CpMNINs.


The conservation of Rev. Charles Edward Che.
ney as Bishop OF the Reformed Episcopal Church
took place at Christ Church, Chicago, on Sunday
last Bishop Cummins consecTating and preaching
the sermon. The sermon Of the bishop was based
upon the third aud fourth verses OF the second
chapter of the Second Epistle oil Peter. 1t was
an elaborate statement Of the views held by Gdhe-
rents OF the Reformed Episcopal Church, of the
nature and character OF the Episcopal Church and
Office, and OF the power and authority conferred
by ordination TO the minister ana to the spiscopa-
cY, toFtifying these views by copioue quotations
IRON writers upon church polity from the earliest
times TO the present day. The points thus eabor-
ated are as follows:


First, That no power but that Of the Holy
GhoSt can make an ambassador OF Christ.


Second, The election BY his fellow Christians OF
one Of their number TO be their teacher ruler,
shepherd and guide in spiritual things, is the con
terrng upon the chosen one the right TO be their
minister, Is their acknowledgement Of his call
from God fOI this great work.


Third, Ordination or laying on Of hands with
prayer upon one chosen by the people TO the Office
and work Of the ministry, Is the solemn ratlica-
tion and confirmation by those In authority Of the
act Of the Church; in the minister, an outward
sign and seal OF his admission to the office.


Fourth. Ordination does not confer grace as the
Church of Rene teaehea, elevaiing it against the
testimony Of Holy Scripture, into a sacrament II
does not confer spiritual gifts or power, these
come from God alone;


Ordination then only cOnfers authority to exc
cute the Offices Of the ministry, and this Is the
solemn ratification and confirmation by visible
sign and seal on the part ct these already in au-
thority By the choice and aet of the whole body
OF the Christian community in the election. There
fore, in the form Of consecratiDg bishop in the
Reformed Episcopal Church, the words /" Receive
the Holy Ghost for the Office and work Of blsh-
oP in The Church Of God, }" do not appear, but in
their stead the words Take then authority TO ak
erclss the ofiee and work Of bishop in the
Church OF God" We reject lhe words " Receive
the Holy Ghost" &c, because they are not sus-
tained by the teachings OF Gods Holy Word.
Upon this point Bishop Cummins quoted learned
Episcopal authorities 70 show that down 10 the
twelfth century the form of words alluded 10 new
existed in any ordination service. To this sum.

From the 0pelousas La.) JOurnal.l


Down in the parish of st. Martin an
old widow lady whose children had all
married of and left her alone, had
been persuaded to sell her little place
and live with them. She sold her land,
building and improvements one day for
two thousand dollars. and received the
money in cash on the spot, in her own
house, where the act of sale was passed
before two witnesses, the number re-
auired by law, and who witnessed also
the payment of the money. In. short
time she was to give possession, but she
remained in the house the night follow
ing the sale, all alone, or with no mas
culine adult inmates, as was her custom.
That night two negro burglars broke into
the house and demanded her money or
her life. She gave it to them, but begged
them to lether have one hundred dollars
of it. as she owed that amount and want
ed TO pay the debt, when she would be
satisfied. They finally consented to let
her keep the hundred dollars. They
then ordered her TO make some coffee
for them to drink. In doing so she be-
though. herself Of some strychnine she
had in the house, and quickly dropped
il in the pot Of steamlng coffee, and
placed it on the table with cups, spoons
and sugar for them to pour out and
sweeten to their taste. This they did,
and drank it in a jolly mood. each one
having nine houdred and fifty dollars IN
bis pocket. But in few minutes the
tables were turned. One gave up the
ghost where he sat at the table 10 his
chair, and the other got up, staggered on
a few feet, and tumbled over into eterni-
". The good old lady recovered her
money, and upon examining the per
sons Of the black burglsrious robbers,
they turned out TO be two witnesses 70
the act Of sale-bOth white men, black
ened for the occasion; both her neigh
bors. and one was her cousin.

The Workshop and the

The camp has had its day of song:


The sword, tn bayonet, the plume
Have crowded out of rhyme too long


The plow, the anvil, and the loom

The training of the Workshop yields
More heroes true than War has known!
Who drives the bolt, who shapes the steel.
May with heart as valiant, smite.
As he who sees foeman real


In blood before his blow Of might!

That graces life, that lghtens toll,
May spring from courage more sublime

In tastes that breed their own delight.
And may the time draw nearer still.


When men that sacred truth shall heed,
That from the thought and from the will
Must all that raises man proceed!
Though pride should hold our calling low
For US shall duty make it good;

Trial of Homerathisfs before the Massa-


chusetts N medical Society.


We hoped as we read the above title of
little pamphlet, sent us by mail, that we
should find complete report of the trial
which has recently terminated and which
has excited so much attention among physi-
clans and the public genera ly. The reports
in the Boston papers during the progress of
the trial, could hardly be satisfactory to apy
disinterested and fair-minded observer. AZ
they must have been obtained from parties
interested mainly in setting forth the merits
Of one side only of the case, aud were pub
lished in spite of the protest of the Board of
Trial, which, according to custom, sat with
closed doors, as one would suppose it had
right to do, as much as disciplinary council
ofa church or special committee of busi-
ness corporation.


We find, however, on perusing this 'state-
ment" that it is simply what we have read be-
fore, somewhat amplified and embellished,-
an er parte report of the case. If we were
to believe the most of the remarks aid impli-
cations in these pages, we should be obliged
to consider the Massachusetts Medical Society
set of unmtigated ignoramuses, band of
vicious bigots, and horde of oppressive ty-
rants. But, inasmuch as for many years this
association has been noted for its activity in
promoting scientific investigation and guard
ing the public health, has included in Its
membership many of the most liberal and cul-
tivated of New England ph ysicians and sur
geons, and has not hitherto rendered
itself notorious by fagrant violations
of justice, we shall decline to con-
sign il to the pit Of infamy which this
little book would designate as its only ft
abiding place. As we have received copy,
it is not unfair to presume that very many
other non-medical people have been similar
ly favored; and we would remind all su b
that as yet we have heard but one side of the
case, that we should entirely reserve our de-
cision on its merits until we have had as full
a report from the other side, and that 1t Is in
credible that hody of gentlemen, so respe tt
able and honorable as the Massachusetts,
Medical Society, should taSe such action as
it has without some show of reason.

COMBINES.


Now that false hair in unlimited qaanti-
ties is no loIger the mode, It is well 10 con-
slider what can be done to avoid the neces-
sity Of using it at all. While very few VIC
men have hair enough to present respec<
table appearance unaided By false, they al
most all comb out and throw away guam
tity which, if saved, would be a
most valuable addition to their
chignon. Almost any kind of hair
work can be made from combiEgs,
provided they are long enough, and not too
much tangled. 4 new way of making
switches from combings is TO weave the
hair on three long, coarse threads, after the
manner Of Q deep fringe. When this is
done,- the threads are fastened together at
one end; the switch is held up and shaken
out, and has the appearance of being of
long, heaVy hair, though, in reality, the
longest hair may not be over fifteen
inches. CombiDgs may, in this way,
be transformed into really handsome
switches, at a trffing expense COM
pared with the price Of false ones; and
the owner has the satisfaction of feeling
that she is wearing only her own hair, al
ter all. Finger puff seach made on hair
pin, are very coavenieGt, and can be well
formed from cOmbings. They cost some
thing Ike 81 dozen, l think, and reqaire
from an ounce and half TO two ounces OF
hair. They are very useful to cover up
places where switches are put in, etc, and
may be put on with natuI al effect.


The bias Of hairdressing is almost wholly
in favor of fiat braids and soft twists ofhair,
following the shape Of the head. This is
sensi bic, convenient and becoming. The
passion for prematurely gray hair seems to
be increasing, and it is asserted that certain
society ladies here use artificial means to
blanch their locks. This is hardly credi-
bic, and one would think hardly necessary,
since the tendency Of the time is too early
Tayness in woman and early badness in
men.
