Of this natl Shrill ba the discussion on Nov. 16, “of, f sixth main topic,” “The Argu- met Kom Design as Affected by thoTbo- ory ’ution,” and it is scarcely an 4 to say that the highest talent be i ite tioi tMi I si i .. William 1 of Morrls- J., Will reai > leading paper, Aill be follo<«r with papers by a Francis A. Shoup of Columbia, Re and Professor Kelley of Johns Hop Te university. A general and critical ki sion will follow, In which F. J. E. di W bridge, Esq., of Minneapolis, Rev. Ric, rd Harris Í pf if Brooklyn and otb others t is modestly claimed on will ake part. beh ' of the Episcopal church that more latl de of opinion on scientific topics is allo able in it than in any other. Wo find aocc dingly that among the clergy of the esta Ushment in England there is a latl- tudi of opinion utterly astounding to Am rlcans who encounter it for the first tim. and cutting quite across the familiar dist lotion of high and low church. In boO the historic divisions are well read cler ymen ranging all the way from those whe accept the latest conclusions of Dar win .to those who hold the first chapters of Genesis to be substantially a literal his tory. “It Is not,” arid Phillips Brooks on this subject, “as If we hungered and thirsted for th© ideally perfect In a belief. It is the life, the personal life, of Jesus Christ that carries conviction with it. Lot my religion be a simple me: »physical truth, and I de- of making anybody receive it as I have received it. Let it be a matter of law aud organization, and I don’t see why I should carry it across the sea. But If if be a living relation to a living Master I should go and lead my brethren across the sea in the way he has led me and mine. ” And Bishop Whipple, in opening a pre vious convention, said: “Christians have been separated, and divisionshave ripened into hatred. The saddest of all is that the things which separate us are not necessary to salvation.” It is quite a compliment to our profes sion that an entire evening session is to be given to a discussion of “The Sunday Newspaper.” The appointed writers are Bev. Dr. Holland of St. Louis, Rev. Dr. George Currie of Baltimore and Rev. Dr. Alexander McKay-Smith of Washington. After such an array of names it would be superfluous to add that full justice will be done tho subject on the clerical side, and this is to be followed by a free discussion led by Richard Henry Dana, Esq., ot Cam bridge, Mass., and William C. Van Ant werp, Esq., of New York. In the discus sion on “ The Proper Education For the Ministry,” to which a whole day is to be given, only the clergy will take part, and the closing address will be by Right Rev. Henry C. Potter of New York. On the question, however, of “The Church’s Duty In tho Matter of Secular Activities” the laity may have a good deal to say, and their principal representative is Hon. Rathbone Gardner of Providence. Near akin to the preceding is the question, “How to Believe tho Poor Without Pau perizing Thera,” to which a day will be devoted. Probably no man in the church is better qualified to discuss this subject than the principal speaker, Rev. Dr. David H Greer of St. Bartholomew’s, New York city, for ho has had great practical experi ence of the work from every side. He is a man of wealth and receives $15,000 per year from St. Bartholomew’s, sometimes called the Vanderbilt church because that family are among its regular attendants and chief supporters. By a mere accident Cornelius Vanderbilt happened to enter Grace church, Providence, one Sunday a few years ago and was so charmed with the sermon that he at once determined to secure the minister for St. Bartholomew’s, and so Dr. Greer wa ferred to New York. He has devoted his entire salary to works of mercy and practical reform of the con- Cition of the poor aud is recognized as the official dispenser of the Vanderbilt char ities. The 6o called People's palace is practically his work, and the system adopt ed is that pursued in the People’s palace of Loudon, wbiob was cajlvd into life by Hesant s “Ail Sorts and Contillions or Men.” By the latest report obtainable this London institution had assisted 204,- 647 persons in six months, while the issue of books amounted to 86,000, and 30,000 persons regularly used the Sunday library and reading rooms, and it can scarcely be doubted that the New York institution will do ns well when fully established. The plan Is to afford Immediate relief to the needy and then put them in the way of helping themselves. Dr. Greer was born in Wheeling In 1844, graduated from Washington, Pa., in 1862, was ordained in 1868 and after a brief pastor,-..« in Covington, Ky., went to Providence. Although gifted with re markable oratorical powers, he has rather avoided their display and has tried to tnakehislife work thoimprovement of hu manity, especially of the poor. His ex perience in tho east side of New York olty lias leti him to sorno very clear and posi tive conclusions as to the proper methods of extending relief, and his address Is awaited with great interest. He is some thing of an athleto ns well, and his superb physical condition has boon no small aid 'o his work for the poor. During the hard diues of last winter he made a special Tudy of tho poor of New York and the iroper methods of relief, particularly the guarding against impostors, and It has been jocularly said that his abilities In this line fully qualify him to be a chief of detectives. Those who think preachers are easily imposed on could learn much in a brief talk with Dr. Greer. At the Baltimore convention in October, 1892, there were many pressing questions as to church organization, statistics and the like, one of the most Important being .i proposition by Rev. Dr. Huntington of New York to incorporate the Lambeth dec laration of Christianity into the constitu tion, which was adopted after one of the most brilliant debates In the history of tho American church. The declaration in brief is that a belief in the Scriptures, the two creeds, the two sacraments and the historic episcopate is all that is required of these wishing to enter the church, and that any congregation having a duly or dained minister and accepting the sub- stanoe of this declaration may be received as an Episcopal church and use any litur gical service it may prefer, provided the bishop of the diocese finds nothing objec tionable in it. The obvious intent is to give the largest latitude in all the so called high and low church variations. Another interesting discussion was over a proposition by Rev. Dr. Hamilton that the church use its influence to secure a six teenth amendment to the national consti tution forbidding any state to appropriate money to the use of sectarian institutions. The wording showed that it was especial ly aimed at denominational schools. Min isters are but men, and it was not surpris ing that a good deal of states rights doo- trine cropped out in the discussion. In view of the important part taken in recent elections by the so called A. P. A. it is in teresting to noto t hat, when the mover of the resolution stated that it was by re quest of an association ter the protection of American institutions several memtiers expressed surprise, this being the first they had heard of such a body. It soon appeared that the tender point was the aid extended to Indian schools in which denominational teaching was had, but the convention con cluded that the evil, if evil it is, was not serious enough to call for so big a remedy. One question often debated, which will be passed over by tae convention of this autumn, is that of changing tho name of the church, but to fully understand it one would have to read the history of Christi anity from Luther to Bishop Brooks. It is of course known to every body that Epis copalians claim a continuous succession from apostolic times and regard tho Ro man Catholic church as itself a secession or apostacy from the true line, but to com pute tho books and pamphlets written on tills subject would fatigue the lmagina tion. Suflico it to say that in the United States tho matter has no such importance as it has in England, where the monarch is officially the head of the church and bishops sit in parliament by virtue of their ecclesiastical rank. Nevertheless it is of such interest that a few facts will aid in understanding the discussion. It is admitted, on the one hand, that the word Protestant is in nowise necessary as a designation of the church, and, on the other, that it may 1» used descriptively as the church of tho time of King Edward VI did protest against theerrors of Rome. But it is charged that the use of a word embodying a mere historic fact is liable to be misloading. The word is popularly as sociated with the great protest of Luther and his followers, while the English re formers refused I d exp.-ess terms to depart from the fellowship of the church uni versal, and their best writers often de clared that the pope might rightfully be recognized as the bishop ot Rome and al lowed a primacy among the bishops of Italy. In England a favorite phrase now is Anglo-Catholics. All this, however, is of general interest only and not applica bio to tho present con“ention. In October, 1889, the American church celebrated its one hundredth anniversary, dating from the convention of October, 1789, when the organization as separate from that 11— of -- Great Britain was perfected. Jealousy. The Chines© have a character or char aeters which symbolize jealousy. le Is reprt-»uited by two women under one roof. It goes to show how universal that fling at tho sex is. Even the Celestials can be unjust. It has even been declared it— jealousy, I mean—penetrated to insect life, and heretofore it lias been looked upon as an established scientific fact, which could not be disputed by the most skeptical, that two queen bees could not exist in one hive. The appearance of a rival was the signa! for a battle that only could end with the death of the Intruder. To the Austrian bees belong the credit of rising superior to the traditional jealousies of their kind. A sensational exhibit has been made in Vien na by some patient scientist, who has spent a year or two watching the bees in order to verify his discovery before mak ing it public. He has just exhibited a thriving colony of bees governed conjoint ly by two queen bees, who not only en dure each other’s presence, but show every mark of cordial aCection for each other. Thus, bees live in a co operative age — New York Mail and Express. Had Hi, Way. This is a true story from Winchester. T wo men lived in the same house with their families. One of them owned the house and rented part of it to the other. They were firm friends. The owner was taken ill, and the doctor said he could not live. A day or two before he died he called his friend to his bedside and said: You have been a good friend to me, Jim, and I will show my appreciation of your friendship. After I am dead you can live in this house rent free as long as you wish.” Jim was profuse in his thanks. “I ve only one stipulation to make,” added the dying man, ‘and that is that you must ride in the first carriage to the grave on the day of my funeral.” On the day of the funeral the hacks lined up in front of the house, with tho hearse at the head. Just as the pi-ocessiou was about to move to the cemetery there was a commotion. Jim was trying to crawl into the hearse alongside the coffin. The efforts of half a dozen men were neo- essary to get him away from the door. “What are you trying to do?” they asked. “ Ride ir. the first carriage, of course, and I’m going to, you bet, or somebody’!’ hurt.” They let him ride on the seat with the driver.—Boston Herald. “At Home.“ A story used to be current among the students in Aberdeen which showed that up to a comparatively recent date anoient prejudices were retained by the old fash ioned Scotch professors. It related to the late Principal Pirio, who had a weakness for the refinements of life. Just after “at home” cards became fash ionable one of the direst specimens of the old professional regime was surprised to receive a missive which read as follows: “Principal and Mrs. Pirie present their compliments to Profossor T. and hope he is well. Principal and Mrs. Pirie will be ‘at home’ on Thursday evening at 8 o’clock.” This was something which evidently re quired an answer, but the recipient of it was quite equal to the occasion. He wrote: “Professor T. returns the compliments of Principal and Mrs Pirie and informs them that he is very well. Professor T. is glad to hear that Principal aud Mrs. Pirie will be at home on Thursday evening at 8 o’clock. Professor T. will also be at home.”—Youth’s Companion. Nothing In IU Into the ear of the horse being driven by a young woman whispered the voice of the tempter. “Why, ” asked the voice, “don’t you run away with her!” The horse looked at the voice in great surprise. “Just gaze at her face, ” he exclaimed. “Nobody but a blind man would run away with her.” Saying which the horse fell naturally into a 55 minute clip and was soon lust to sight.—Detroit Tribune. Rough on the Roof. Builder—I want you to do somethiug for m». > Friend—What is it? “You see, this house is almost finished, except shingling the roof. ” “So I perceive.” “Well, I want you to look around and see if you can’t find a thin carpenter who does not weigh more than 120 p rands. I must have a light carpenter to put on those ingles. If a heavy man goes up on . at roof, the whole house will tumble In.”—Texas Siftings. A Modern Version. A Georgia magistrate was perplexed by the conflicting claims of two women for a baby, each contending that she was the mother of it. The judge remembered Sol omon, and drawing a bowie knife from his boot declared he would give half to each. The women were shocked, but had no doubt of the authority and purpqse of the judge to make the proposoc compro mise. “Don’t do that,” they both screamed in unison. “You can keep it yourself."— Green Bag. Explained. The other day a journal, hitherto with out a spot on its character, inquired, with well feignod innocence, “How could five persons divide eggs so that each man will receive one and stiii one remain in the dish?” After several hundred persons went two-thirds distracted in the mazes of this proposition the journal meanly says, “One takes the dish with the egg.”—Tit- Bits. Not to Blaine. Little Bessie had been guilty of telling something that did not happen, and wnen mamma reproved her for it said: ’Why, mamma, I didn't mean it that way. I told it for an antidote.”—Youth’s Companion. Overworked. “No ” said the stenographer sadly, “I couldn’t hold the position. I rm pretty rapid, but he was too swift for me.” “Business man?” “No. Professional pugilist.”—Wash ington Star.
