Memorial to Or. Liviugetone-guieJ. Con -
'
ablations to the Elate. '
The Bishop of Peterborough (Dr. Magee)
continued his visitation at Lilicester, and
in his charge dealt with the question of
seneational preaching and the peactices of
the Salvation Army. He said he could
not help fearing that the desire to fihl
churches by all the -means it could be done,
though laudable in itself, might have the
very fortunate result of lowering the teach.
.ing and the position of the Church of Eng -
laud in order to obtain for her ati ephe-
meral popularity. Au attempt was being
made by the use of what he might call the
" sensational " in religion -by very extrava-
gant und strange metleode, by announce-
ments of extra:ordinary texts, by sense -
preaching, brgrose-irreverenosrgebse
the use of slang and by other extravagances
-to gather multitudes together, but he
feared they were gathered at the cost of
the d.ebasement and degradation of
religion. There was no doubt that sensa-
tionalism would draw a crowd at first, but
it was equally certaio that it carried with
it the seeds of ite own decay and failure. •A.
novelty could not always •be a novelty, and
if sensationalism leas persevered in the
time must come when the new sensation
would become the old form, and when it
would cease to attract as much as the old
thing which it replaced. He was told,
however, that it was only by such
irreverences, only by such extravagances,
that they could win and attract the masses.
If thee were so, they had better begin • by
burning their Bibles. From one cover to
the other of their Bibles they could find no
irreverence, no slang, no profanity, and,
yet that book recorded, especially in the
New Testament, the success of the greatest
miesion the world had ever known. The
disciples of our Loyd, igiaorant and un-
cultured men, in their "day gathered
together a great company from all places.
They drew the vileet of the heathen ; they
converted the prize-fighters of their day,
the gladiators and the most abandoned;
and they converted them, not by irreverence
or profanity -they converted them by
preaching the goepel in language simple and
pure. And those who believed their preach-
ing were drawn •into no irreverent famil-
iarity with their Maker ; but they worked
too often make idols of their church
•edifices. "1 hada magnificent' church in
1875," he said," and 35,000. was spent On
the interior decoration. • Then and there
seed to God that I would renounce all the
idols of which I had been made conscious
if He -would only let me do His work.
While I was praying for this blessing the
church took fire, and in half an hour it was
in ashes." "
A pastor •whose heart was earnestly
engaged for !his people and his work is
•reported to have inet a ueember of hi's
church not long since to whore he said:
"I haven't seen you at prayer -meeting
once this summer." "No," was the reply,
" it has been too hot for me to atteed."
The pastor's eyes twinkled with bunaor as
he answered,: "Too hot? Where could
you find a polder place than our prayer -
meeting ?" The humor was delicious, -end
the satire was superb.
The three evangelical doctrines that
ought to be insisted upon as conditional to
the ordination or installation of a pastor, as
stated by the Rev. Edwards A. Park to the
Boston Cougregatianal ministers, and ap-
parently approved by theme -ere that the
Bible is perfeieq trustworthy as a, religious
guide; that the atonement of Clariet is a
sacrificial net, influencing the mind of God
as well as sinners, and that this is the only
word of probation, the future world being,
°DO of punishment for those who die
impendent.
The Livingstene Memorial C. P. Church
has been opened for ;divine. eervice: Dr.:
Livingstone, as is well known, was reared
in the Parish of Blantyre. t. The Rev..Dr.
Blaikie relates of old Neil Livingstone,
father of the eecplorer, that he was the
founder of a naiseionary society, and also
of s,raissimea,ry prayer meeting in Blantyre.
He bought or borrowed as many naission-
ary booke as he could - lay his hands on.
The heroes of the household were Martylf,
Judson, Carey and Zinzenderff ; so that
from his earliest yeare David 'Livingstone
was steeped iir.-the literature of Christian
missions. . •
Henry' Varieet, the -London evangelist,
has been doing sonae evangelical wedeln
Sobtland; in the course of which he has
created'considerable stir._ In Glasgow he
gave great offence to play -going .people. by
allusions to Sarah Bernhardt, and it is
intimated that the actress' husband may
invite him to fight a duel. In Edinburgh
he was assaulted with mud by a woman in
an 'open-aie meeting in a neglected part of
the city. Considerable comment has been
made on the occurrence. It is statecIthat
in utter depravity the bad districts of the
Modern Athens are almost unapproachable.

people of England, even of the most
degraded and estranged. He did not believe
that the message of the everlasting gospel
' needed to be defiled in order to win the
hearts of the mass of any population. The
estrangement of so large a proportion of the
mass of the _people was to some extent
owing to the neglect of the Church, and if
fifty, or even thirty years ago they had been -

they hail seen within the last fourteen

As to the admission of raembers of the
Salvation Army to the Holy, Communion,
he was only too thankful for many
reason that they did go to Holy Com-
munion. Membership in the Salvation
Army did not, however, constitute a title
to admiseion to communion in their
Church. The Church ordained that none
should take the communion except those
who had been baptized and confirmed, or
who were willing to be BO. Of course if a
member of the Salvation Army, or a mem-
ber of the Blue Riba,nd movement, or a
member of any other organization of the
day, carne to them as a baptized and con-
firmed man, and asked to be admitted to
the Holy Communion, they would only too
gladly welcome hire ; but to admit a whole
body of men whom they had only too much
reason for believing had neither been bap-
tized nor confirmed, seercied to him to be
a very Unwise breach of the discipline and
laws of the Church. .

Curious observations of a eimilar nature
can be found scattered here and there in
astronomical records reaching back more
than a century, but they have generally
been looked' upon with distrust or
totally disregarded. These recent observa-
tions give them renewed interest arid tend
eto vindicate theincorreetneseee If itcan _be
,shown thet the° MOOD has an atmosphere,
Sir Willtana Herschel's' idea that our
satellite 19 inhabitable will not be deemed
so ridiculous as it has seemed to Borne
modern astronomers. We should not
• expect to obtain any confirmation of the
observations of the German telescopist
who believed he had discoverede a big
city and and great military works in
the moon, but reason S might be
'shown fOr thinking that the moon
supports life peculiar to iteelf. The mere
-
possibility of such a _thing is somewhat
startling, for the moon is really' a very
near neighbor to the earth. Few, perhaps,
realize how eloee we are to another world
besides the earth, but it is a very narrow
span of space that separates DS from the
moon. The mean distance is only 240,000
miles, or less than ten, times the circuit of
the earth, and only about eighty times as
far as from New York to San Francisco.
Not a few sea, es,pteins have probably
sailed as -far as the distance from the earth
to the moon. And yet SO close at hand ars
this there is a world differing so widely
from the one we dwell upon that we, can
only admit the poesibility otits being in-
habited by maiming that its inhabitants
are as unlike ourselves as their world is
unlike ours. -N. Y. Sun.

were • about three tdoone-they behind
earthworks, out of sight, and we in, a plain
firing up to there. Wo were falling thick
and fast, especially the 74th, which was
furtheet away. As the enemy fired high
they got the most of it. My ball -pouch was
struck, burating four roundsof ananaunition
which were in it, and burning me slightly.
Almost at the same time a 79th Mom was
etruck in front of me, his brain s being blown
all over nee. This will never do,' said Lord
KdhitwititbrOEComPany;
follow me,' and off we Went. It was now
daylight, and we could just see their heads
and rifles over the batteries. Not aehot was
fired, not a word spoken, while we opened
m iodise order, brought our bayonet § to the
charge, gave a Highland cheer and at them
we went. While their fire was blinding us
we bayoneted sixty men there and reversed
their cannon" and fired on themselves. The
fight WaS going m1 hard. at other places as
well. Arabi had a line of entrenchments
seven nailes long, with nearly eighty cen-• e
non, and it 19 supposed 25,000 Men, all With
rifles as good as' our own and splendid
swords, inetead of bayonets, Which fix on
their rifles, I could scarcely de oribe the
rest of it. Our artillery and cavalry, which
followed us, had filled in part of -the trench,
and now came galloping up into the fort.
We gave them a deafening cheer, which
they returned, galloped in front of us,
wheeled ebout the guns, and poured grape,
shot and Mudd after -the now retreating
army, we ourselves_yicking them off like
