Crusade.-\u2014-\u2014\u2014 BLAINE FEELS COMPLETELY SNUFFED OUI.\u2014_\u2014 Fugitives Fleeing from the Hay- tian Civil War, RELIGIOUS {TOLERATION IN CULTURED, BOSTON.The Women Decide on a Policy of Persecution.| SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.] Boston, Mass, Dec.21.\u2014The victory achieved over the Catholics by the Puritan element of Boston's female population, in the late election, on the question of control of the public schools, has only added fuel to the fire of religious fanaticism.The Loyal Women of America, an association which led in the late campaign, is determined that the enemy shall be driven into the sea.Acting under suggestion, the Sunday following the election was devoted to thanksgiving services in all the Evangelical churches, but after this the vie- tors determined to at once enjoy the advantage they have won.Although the new school board has not been yet organized, the women have decided upon the line of action to be pursued by them, the first thing the immediate restoration of the obnoxious Swinton\u2019s history with its anti-Catholic sentiment.The \u201cloyal women to-day held a mass meeting which was crowded.Thore were bitter addresses made, directed against the Catholic Church and its parochial school system, which aroused the enthusiasm of the spectators to the highest pitch.It was then suggested and adopted that a committee of prominent ladies be appointed to draw up a set of regolutions er rather demands upon both the State and the national Government embodying their views.The same, if satisfactory, to be regularly presented to all the Protestant women of the city and state for individual endorsement, the whole to take the form of a gigantic petition.The first was a demand upon the women of the state to compel the new School Board to at once restore Swinton\u2019s history, and the other to be a petition to the national Government to pass an impossible law, making it treason against the Government for Catholic clergymen to intimidate Catholie parents into taking their children out of the public schools.There will be two petitions on each question, one for ladies and another for men.The impossibility of such a persecution of the Catholics seemed never to enter their heads.During the session another resolution was offered, put to vote, and unanimously carried, deciding that there be a series of revivals organized for the express purpose of converting Catholic women to the Protestant religion and thus save their souls.A committee was selected to raise a fund for this purpose, which was liberally responded to.The Catholics are growing daily more incensed against their political foes, and instead of the election causing the religious feeling to die out it has simply made it all the hotter.0 NO USE FOR BLAINE.Harrison Will Introduee New Blood in the Republican Councils.[SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.] PorrLAND, Me, Dec.21.\u2014It can be pretty safely accepted that there will be no jingo policy saddled upon the new administration by the presence of Blaine in the coming Cabinet.This is demonstrated by the remarkable change of sentiment here in Mr.Blaine\u2019s home.A careful canvass of the state by the press here of Mr.Blaine\u2019s friends and followers, reveals the fact that they have given up all hopes of seeing Blaine in the Cabi- nef, and acknowledge the ehampion beaten.They think he will get the English mission and state that Harrison intends reorganizing his party by introducing new men to his Cabinet, and thus ignoring all the old friends.The new Republican party is to be solidified and its policy unanimous.Mr.Blaine is reported to feel his set back keenly, more 80 even than his defeat in 1884, \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 DISORDER REIGNS IN HAYTI.Fugitives from Gen.Legitime\u2014-The U.8.Fleet Missed its Way.New York, December 21,\u2014The steamship Adirondack arrived to-day from Kingston.On board as a passenger was the merchant Carvallo, of Port au Prince, who says he had to fly from hls home on account of the disorder and terror now raging in South Hayti under Gen.Legi- time.When he left home the steamer Haytien republic was still held by Capt.Comton, and the gridiron flag flew over her.The Adirondack carried from Kingston to Fortune Island twelve men, eqipped for fighting, who were on their way to Port Haytian to assist in the defence of the town and aid Gen.Hippolite in the restoration of order.Admiral Luce\u2019s \u201c Fleet\u201d was not sighted by the incoming steamer nor had any news of its arrival at Port au Prince, reached the Maritime Exchange to-day.The fleethas now been out nine days.Kingston is full of fugitives from Southern Hayti, but few from Northern Hayti.The Hay- FANATICS.> -{ tien Minister received no mail or

Secretary for War, replying to a question of Mr.Rowlands, denied that the Queen had withdrawn the Honourable Artillery Company\u2019s warrant, and said he hoped that the necessity for such a step would not arise.Recent events however, had demanded the reconstruc-~ tion of the corps, whose services, it was to be hoped, the country would never lose.The officers commanding the company had made an official report that the crops was in a most unsatisfactory condition regarding discipline, and therefore, in view of the lack of discipline and the resignation of the officers, the corps could no longer be recognized as efficient.The usual course had been adopted and the equipment in the company\u2019s possession, which was the property of the State, had been witlidrawn.He hoped that a long period would not elapse before the cor War ratisfactorily reorganized, .SUBSCRIPTION 86.00 PER FROM THE DOMINION CAPITAL.Sir Charles Tupper's Earliest Conveni- ence\u2014Northwest Legislation\u2014Threeo Kicks for Personal Liberty\u2014Dis.bandment of the Seveuth Battalion.[SPECIAL TO THE RERALD.] Orrawa, Dec.21.\u2014Mr.Hoagg, of O'Con nor & Hoagg, received a cablegram from Sir Charles Tupper to-day in answer to an enquiry when it would be convenient for him to come over and give evidence before the Board of Arbitrators on the C.P.Rs British Columbia claim.Sir Charles replied that the middle of April would suit him best and asked whether that date would be definitely settled when the Board met on the 27th of December, and that an effort would be made to suit Lis convenience.It is reported that the object of Lieu- tenant-Governor Roval\u2019s visit to Ottawa is to advise with the Government in regard to legislation to be introduced at the coming session of the Dominion Parliament dealing with Northwest affairs.At a recent meeting of the Northwest Assembly resolutions were passed asking for legislation dealing with a variety of subjects.There are now three petitions for the repeal of the Canada Temperance Ac: under the consideration of the Justica Department, viz.: Victoria, Kent and Brant, Sizteen elections for a repeal vote were held during the year, as many as seven or eight taking place in April last.The Deputy Adjutant-General in the London district has been asked by the Militia Department to recommend what measures ought to be taken in the event of the disbandment of the 7th Battalion, which is expected to be ordered shortly.ip = THREATENING THE PRESIDENT- ELECT.A Ridienlous \u2018Cock and Ball* Story.INpraNaPours, Ind.Dec.21.\u2014Has an attempt been made to take the life of President-elect Harrison?The question ig a startling one, and that there should be any fact to justify the asking of it seems incredible.Nevertheless a rumour justifying the inquiry has crept out tonight, and the source of it is such that I cannot do otherwise than send such information, which is but little, as can be obtained concerning it.There are many who believe the rumour to be well- founded, and later developments are awaited with great interest.The facts, so far as they can be stated, are that a close friend of the Harrison family told a story to-day to a confidential friend, which, if true, will startle the nation and the whole civilized world.It was to the effect that a welllaid plot to take the life of General Harrison was arranged by a gang of blood-thirsty villains, and that an attempt to execute their dastardly designs was made one day last week,but that the fearful scheme was discovered by one of Harrison's nearest friends and thwarted.This startling intelligence has been held as a dead secret, and it is said that General Harrison and his family intended that it should never be made public.The one or two persons who have been intrusted with the facts still decline to give any details, and it is only possible to give the mere statement at this time.The person who is my informant said tonight as he whispered the secret to me that the strangest thing to him was that 80 great and terrible an affair had been kept a secret so long.He declines at this time to tell where and when the affair happened.It is well known, however, that General Harrison daily exposes himself to any such vile purpose, as it is hie custom to take two walks each day, and usually he strolls mostly, when alone, in the back streets of the northern part of the city.He is seldom accompanied by any one, and he would prove an easy victim for any would-be assassin.Of course, the publication of the fact will, no doubt, lead to a thorough investigation of the affair, and a determined effort will be made to bring the would-be assassins to justice.\u2014_ The Divorce Record Beaten.Curcaco, Dec.21\u2014Henry Sharon\u2019s petition for a separation fram his wife Florence was filed in court at 5 o'clock last night.At 9.30 this morning Mr.Sharon was a free man.This breaks the record for speedy divorces, Mr.Sharon jumped into notoriety by his peculiar marriage.May 18, 1887, he went to Windsor, Ont., to be married.The young lady to whom he was engaged had a sister scarcely out of her teens.Her fresh face and pretty manners captivated Mr.Sharon, and, discarding his betrothed, he married the sister.He says that Florence is now in New York, me Dyuamite Explosion in Paris.Paris, |Dec.21.\u2014An attempt has been made to blow up the

morning\u2019s Zanzibar de- spateh, and indicating, if there is no error in the information, that both Stanley and Emin Bey are safe.The agent of the West African Telegraph Company at St.Thomas wires that he has received trustworthy news that Stanley has ar rived in the Aruwhimi with Emin Bey.The agent mentions no time and it is left to conjecture whether the news is of a later date than that received via Zanzibar.So whether Emin ig safe or not is a matter of doubt, but the Zanzibar despatch makes it sure that Stanley could not have been surrendered to Osman Saleh Oct.10, because if he left Bonalya Aug.27, as he intended, he could not have reached Emin Bey in less than two months, which would have been Oct.27, He may have been the other white man whom Osman Saleh was looking for.THE

with plenty of food.Stanley had returned to Bongola on the loads of stores in charge of his rear guard, and intended to leave ten days later to rejoin Emin.Ie reported the whites in the expedition as healthy, and sure the expedition wanted nothing.Loxvox, Dee.21.\u2014The West African Telegraph Company has received the following despatch from St.Thomas, dated Friday, 2 p.m.:\u2014 I have just

Dec.21.\u2014The Daily Telegraph's correspondent at Zanzibar wires from that point that Stanley mentions in his letter that Emin Pasha had vast stores of ivory and numberless oxen, he further states that Casati the Italian explorer has joined forces and is with Emin Pasha.In this letter he also says that Major Barttelot\u2019's murderer was tried and huag at Stanley l\u2018alls on Juiy 22nd,

conclusion, as Stockton has been sure to give a Liberal majority of a thousand ever since it was created a borough in 1868.The only question to-day was as to the majority, and in that the Liberals have been grievously disappointed.The vote was declared at midnight and stands as fole OWS ;\u2014 Davey (Liberal), 3,889.\u2018Wrightson (Conservative), 3,494.Liberal majority, 395.The vote at the

Dec.21.\u2014No special activity in leading wholesale line of general trade is reported in telegrams to Prad- streeËs this week, as is to be expected just prior to the Cristmas holidays.The weather is quite seasonable as to temperature over a large portion of the country, which has stimulated more interest in Christmas specialties.Mercantile collections have improved at Pittsburg, Detroit, Galveston, Mem- phir, Boston and New York, but are slow at Kansas City.The dry goods, tea and coffee markets show little change of price on the week, \u2018Wheat, flour, pork, bogs, cattle, sugar, tea, cotton, pig iron and steel rails have all been weaker, and most of them are lower in price.Cottons and woolen goods are firmer, and tend upward.Indian corn, lard and oats are also strong, and rice is improving slowly.Activity in stock speculation seems out of the question for the moment.The apparent restoration of western railroad harmony failed to increase public interest in the market in the face of the stronger money market and foreign financial entanglements.A rise in the leading coal road stocks through the manipulation of pools, though based on the large earnings of the year gives, how- | Children Crv for Pitc her\u2019s Castoria.ever, tone and strength to the general market.Money at New York is firmer and higher on the January changes and disbursements.Call loans 4 per cent.Foreign exchange is easier ou less urgent foreign demands for gold and higher money here.Some $1,500,000 were shipped during the week.Demand sterling, 4.583 @4.883.Bank clearings at forty cities as reported to Bradstreets this week aggregate $1,115,130,026 or 24 per cent.over last week and 21 per cent, over the like week in 1887.Reports of mileage earnings of 107 railroads for October are 2.4 per cent.less than October,1887, but are 6 and 1.9 per cent.in excess of those for October 1886 and 1885 respectively.For the ten months ending October 31, 1887, the decrease in earnings per mile is 4} per cent.with gains of 7 and 3.6 per cent.over 1886 and 1885 respectively.The largest proportionate decreases are locai- ized to the Granger and Southwestern groups.Steel rails are quiet and prices are unsettled, Western makers having advantages over eastern competitors.It is not true that the outlook for rail making is better than it has been for a long time.In fact, it is in a very unsatisfactory condition, and there are no present indications of early or permanent improvements.The decline in the price of wheatis lie, while that of corn gained 1}, and flour declined 10c.The new combination of spring wheat millers may soon have an effect on prices of both wheat and flour from that region.lixports of wheat (and four), both coasts, this week, aggregate 1,187,720 bushels, against 1,571,619 bushels last week and 1,717,473 bushels in the third week of December, 1887.The total wheat (and flour) shipped from the United July 1 to December 21, is equivalent to 50,000,000 bushels of wheat, against 73,000,000 bushels in a like portion of 1887.Over 7,870 barrels of flour and 22,800 bushels of wheat were shipped for Australia at San Francisco this week.High freight rates have checked the demand for and movement of dry goods at New York.Jobbers also report a decrease in demand for holiday goods as the season grows fo a close.The usual closing out sales of open stocks added to a large trade sale of clothing\u2014are expected to induce a large distribution the coming week.Business at Boston is quiet.Cotton goods are unchanged in price and generally firm with advances expected after January 1.A restricted business has been done in heavy weight woollens at 5 per cent advance over last season.Wool is in free demand from manufacturers.Stocks are small and prices firm.Foreign advices are encouraging.There have been no important dealings in refined sugar this week.Both arrivalsand meltings were lighter, as is customary at this period.Prices have been heavier with bearish cables from Europe and Brazil.Russian beet crop estimates are increased.There is high authority for the statement that the importing and brokerage sugar business lias not been profitable this year, and that the reverse is true respecting refiners, Demand for refined has been limited, and prices are lc off at New York and at San Francisco.Speculation in coffee at New York has been in reduced volume, with a decline of ic, but has reacted on better cables trom Brazil and Europe.The market has been quite irregular.Teas have been held with more confidence on moderate offerings of desirable qualities, but as a rule were in slack demand.At auction 4,263 packages were placed on steadier basis for more attract- tive goods.Business failures reported to Bradstreet's, number 335 in the United States this week, against 309 last week and 264 this week last year.Canada had 40 this week against 38 last week.The total of failures in the United States, January 1 to date,

T0 WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.Editor Insurance and Finance Chronicle: Sir,\u2014In order that the public may have an opportunity to judge whether you or I are to be beleived and accepted as an authority on life insurance, I now challenge you to a public discussion, and gree to pay $1,000 to the General Hospital if 1 fail to prove,\u2014 1st.That the mutual Reserve offers as good security tor the payment of 1ts death claims, and is on as sound and scientific a basis ag any of the largest and most wealthy old line companies.2nd.That the Mutual Reserve has a Reserve Fund of $1,790,900.75, increasing at the rate of over $500,000 per annum, and that this fund answers every purpose, in the way of security, that the reserves and capital stock of old line companies do.3rd.That the Mutual Reserye\u2019s policy contract is as definite, hoth as to the highest possible cost, during any one year, and the amount to be paid when the policy becomes a claim as is the policy contract of any other life insurance company.4th.That the Mutual Reserve has fifty-six millions more insurance in force than the total business of all the Canadian old line stock companies combined, and, that the stock-holders of these companies have been paid $148.25 in dividends, for each and every day, during the last ten years.oth, That the Mutual Reserve has nearly seventy millions more insurance in force than the /Etna has, and, that the stock-holders of the Ætna have been paid more than $225.30 for each and every day, during the last ten years.6th, That, in view of the facts above stated, it is impossible for any stock company on any plan, to furnish life insur ance on ag favorable terms as the Mutual Reserve, which, instead of having sfock- holders to absorb its profits, has an interest income of nearly $100,000 per annum, every dollar of which is applied to the reduction of the cost of insurance.7th.That the average annual mortuary payments for an insurance of $10,000, in the Mutual Reserve, during the past seven years, has been as follows: \u2014Age 30, $64.80 ; age 33, $73.10 ; age 40, $84.70 age 45, $96.60; age 50, $117.80; age 53, $191.50; age 60, 265.10; and that this is less than one-third the amount charged by ordinary life insurance companies.Sth.Tbat during the last twenty nine, of the forty-five years, that the New York Life, and Mutual Life, of New York, have done business, the average amount required for the payment of their death claims at all ages has been less than twelve dollars for each $1,000 of insurance in force ; and that their income has been over sixty dollars for each $1,000 of insurance in force.That is, their income has been over five dollars to every one dollar paid in death claims.9th.That your statements that my pamphlet, \u201cThe Survival of the Fittest,\u201d is so full of misstatements and misrepresentations,\u201d that you \u201ccould fill\u201d a \u201c whole issue \u201d of your journal with re- ferances to them ; and that I have \u201c mnis- quoted authors\u201d ; and that I bave shown an \u201c unfair and deliberate evasion of the truth,\u201d are positively untrue.If you accept this challenge, and fail to prove the truth of the charges above referred to, you shall forfeit $1,000 which sum shall be handed over to the General Hespital.This challenge is open to anyone in either the Kastern or Western Hemisphere; and the $1,000 shall be deposited in the Bank of Toronto, as soon as this challenge is accepted, and, the preliminary arrangements for the\u2019 discussion completed.If this challenge is not accepted, it will sbow what dependence can he placed in the utterances of old line journals when their craft is in danger, J.FT, PATERSON, Author of \u201cThe Survival of the Fittest.\u201d 217 St.James Street, Montreal,

will suffice so far as my connection with'this controversy in its present aspect is concerned.Mr.James asserted in his first letter I had committed a flagrant crror when I said that there was a time when the Church -of England recognized l'resbyterial ordinations, and ke affirmed that the Church of England never did so.I proved that my statement was perfectly correct by quoting the unimpsach- able historian, Hallam, whose authority all scholars admit.Mr.James simply denies the authority of that impartial prince of historians, but Iam confident the reading public will not discard the testimony of Hallam, and accept Mr, James in his place.I will, however, give Mr.James the words of the \u2018Judicious Hooker,\u201d so justly esteemed in the Church of Englend for his great work, The Laws of Icclesiastical Polity, page 403 of the edition I have, and will gladly show Mr.James, Hooker says: \u201cWhere the church must needs have some ordained and neither hath nor can have possibly a bishop to ordain; in case of guch necessity the ordinary institution of God hath given oftentimes, and may give place.\u201d Here Hooker admits that ordinations by presbyters are in certain cases valid, and that the ordinary method of ordaining by bishops \u201chath given oftentimes and may give place.\u201d But there is abundant proof of the fact that the ordinations of Presbyterians on the continent were recognized in the Church of England.Mr.James uses the names of two clergymen of the Church of England, but I am confident he did not ask permission to introduce these gentlemen to this controversy, for had he consulted either of them it ig extremely probable they would have enlightened him as to the falsity of his position and saved him the chagrin which must follow when one publicly blunders.He stumbles into error again about the word dissenter, although he evidently recognizes his false position in regard to it at the first.1 objected to the use of the word because in the sense he used that term it contained an untruth.I did not say whether I liked the word or not.The public Would care nothing about my likes or dislikes.I beg Mr.James to be accurate.These blunders must be corrected, but it seems like à waste of time.Lastly, Mr.James means to deny my right to exercise the office of a Christian minister.I beg to decline the distinguished honour of discussing this question, introduced with such exquisitely gentlemanly taste, with such a controversialist as Mr.James has proved himself to be; and, further, it has no interest to an intelligent public as the verdict has often been given by a vast majority of the Protestants all over the world in utter condemnation of the stupid bigotry which still is found in some quarters.Nor do I intend it shall cover up the fact that I have proved Mr, James irretrievably faise in the position he took when he charged me with two flagrant errors.Regarding it I would only say that a Mormon elder having ever so many wives, once denied my authority to minister in ' Christ\u2019s Church, but it had no more effect upon the public or upon me than the equally untruthful and equally impertinent assumption of Mr.James will have, but was treated with merited contempt both by the public and me, as this will be.The attack on Archdeacon vans in the last paragraph needs no notice as that gentleman is too well known to need defence, vet it is time thab such contemptible insults should be broughtt an end and the public no longe annoyed by impertinences of that character, If the Church of England suffer any loss or has any dishonour brought upon it, it is not by the conduct of such Christian gentlemen as Archdeacon Evans, but by such lamentable exhibitions of bigotry, intolerance and ignorance as are given in the letters of \u201cA Loyal Churchman\u201d and Mr.R.James.I leave the decision with the public without any hesitancy, nor would I fear the verdict which the Church of England herself would give on this matter.Having, I trust, effectually refuted the false charges Mr.James made against me I beg to desist from any further discussion of this matter under the conditions which exist at present, Yours, &c., T.G.WiLL1AMS.P.S.\u2014The letter of Mr.G.Watson has met my eye.If is a fair specimen of the typical ill-mannered high church contro- versialiat, both in regard to%its insolence and falsity.He wants to say he agrees with Mr.R.James in his denial of my assertion that at one period in the history of the Church of England that body recognized the validity of Presbyterial ordinations.He knew no better than to say, regarding my quotation from [Hal- lam\u2019s Constitutional History of England, that \u201che quotes a passage from some lying print in proof of the validity of Presbyterian orders.\u201d I beg tosay I did Mot quote from Hallam to prove the validity of Presbyterian orders, but simply to prove what I had before stated, viz., that the Church ef England at one time recog- mixed the validity of such erdinations, When I deem it necessary to prove what an overwhelming majority of Protestant «Christians are already perfectly sure of\u2014 viz, the validity of Presbyterial orders\u2014 I go to a higher source than any merely human history\u2014namely, the Holy Scriptures.I do not think it my duty, however, to supply in newspaper correspondence the facts of Church History and Polity for the enlightenment of High- Churchmen who, shut up in their invin- «ible ignorance, cannot read intelligently even a plain letter in a newspaper, and who call Hallam\u2019s History \u2018 some lying print.\u201d However, if Mesers.Loyal Chureh- man, R.James, and G.Watson can per- Buade any elergyman of their church whose name carries any weight in the Community to deny over hig own signature my assertion, \u201c that a¢ one time in the history of the Church of England that Church (id acknowledge the validity of Presbyterial ordinations,\u201d I agree to fur- mish further and eonvincing proof tha what I said is simply a matter of history.Till that is done decline any farther controversy with writers who cannot distinguish the difference between a standard history and a \u201clying print,\u201d and who constantly mistake insolence and false statements for argument and proof.G.W.To the Editor of THE HERALD: Sir \u2014I read in this morning's Heraro the following : \u201cSome time ago 1 heard the Rev.Arthur French at St.John\u2019s Church on this subject.He said it was disgusting lo see some of the Church of England THE MUNTREAL HER clergy appearing on platforms with Dissenting Ministers, thereby putting themselves on a level with them and ignoring the validity of their own ordination.\u201d Some time ago I read in the daily papers that the Rev, Arthur French appeared in the Dominion Square Methodist Church to form an alliance with reference to the St.Margaret's Home in this city.Also, that he attended the annual meeting of that Alliance in St.Paul's Presbyterian Church in this city.I am, yours, \u2018WM.HENDERSON, Montreal, Dec.20, That Chureh Squabble.To the Editor of THE HERALD : Sm,\u2014Without entering into any controversy with those correspondents who 80 ignorantly and vulgarly attack Archdeacon Evans for his Christian fellowship with believers, I would ask them without referring to the tradition of the fathers, or church theology (the latter being generally stigmatized as the Devil's engine to transport mankind down to the lower regions) by what au- authority the Church of England creates a functionary called priest, seeing those who receive the title are not of the tribe of Levi, and, and, again, if there is any body of Christians whoshould be dubbed dissenters, who more so than the Charch of England, seeing this Church dissented from the Church of Rome not so very long ago, and it is a melancholy fact, though openly yet covertly fast falling back to the flock from which the old reformers struggled so hard to free themselves.B.M, SmrTK.To the Editor of Tur HERALD, Srr\u2014I should not have felt it necessary, or even of sufficient importance, to say that I am not the Mr.R.James who has attacked Archdeacon Evans, were it not that Christian brethren, whose judgment I esteem, have urged-me to do so.I now write, not for my own sake, but for the purpose of clearing what I hold to be the truth, from any connection with the views of Mr.R.James on the subject of the Christian ministry.In the only infallible authority, the word of God, there is not the smallest intimation that any human ordination whatever is needed to preach the gospel, or to do any other work for the Lord.Nor is there a trace in Scripture of any separate order of men, to whom belonged the administration of the only two sacraments of which Scripture speaks, viz: baptism and the Lord\u2019s Supper.f Mr.R.James, or any one else, thinks this to be a wild assertion, let such search Scripture; but be very sure before quoting your texts that they teach the views you quote them for,and which you think they support.It is not my business to prove a negative ; but the positive teaching of Scripture on the subject of the ministry of the Word, negatives the system of ordination as practised to-day, whether in the dissenting bodies or in the Church of England.In fact the greater the pretention to this authority to ordain ministers of the gospel, clergymen or priests, the further removed is it from the truth.In Acts VIIL 4, we see that those who were scattered abroad on the persecution that arose after Stepheh\u2019s martyrdom, went everywhere preaching the word ; and these were not the Apostles for, we are told, they remained at Jerusalem.In Gal.I.1, Paul states that his ministry was neither from man nor by man, but directly from Jesus Christ, as must that of anyone be to-day to be effective, or to have any true warrant; and, having this, no human supplement is needed.It is only saying, in effect, Christ\u2019s call is not sufficient, and is, so far, an affront to the Head of the church.in Rom.XIL 6-8, we see that ministry in the church was far from being in the bands of one man ; there were some who taught, some who exhorted, others who prophesied, etc.In 1, Cor.XIV., we have what the apostle is careful to emphasize as \u201cthe commandments of the Lord\u2019\u2019 on this subject, as if anticipating general departure from it; and with the one proviso that it should be for edification, they could all speak, in order that all might learn and all be comforted.The only restriction was that women were to be silent in the public assembly ; a thing which nature itself teaches the propriety of.But this one restriction shows how free ministry was to every one else who could really edify.In Ephesians, IV, 11-16, we may learn why Paul so emphatically states in the passage already quoted, that the authority of his ministry proceeded not from men; in order that this might remain vested enptirely and exclusively in the only bands where it would be safe, viz : In the hands of Christ Himself, from whom alone it can really proceed, and no one can prove that He has chosen any human channel for it to flew through.All pretention to this is vain and therefore false.When some would question Paul's ministry, in order to» weaken his influence, he proved it, not by any ordination or call, although, in his case, the latter was very (distinct and open, from the Lord Himself, and irom the Holy Ghost to a special mission, but by reference to the results of his work, 1 Cor.IX.2, and to his own conduct, 2 Cor.VI.3-10, No one going forth to serve Christ without the sanction of human ordination, need be surprised at being asked for his authority to Frosch or to teach, for the Lord Himself did not escape this in His day from those who sat in Moses\u2019 seat.Luke XX, 1-8, Matt.XXIII I beg my readers to carefully refer to the texts I have

s2ems a large one, but of course it includes the supply laid in for the winter, and will probably last until May.The management also state that there have been in constant avtendance since April, 19 regular children, most days from 23 to 27, to be bathed, fed, taught, and in many instances clothed.The original intention was to have all children taken home at night, but so many women live at such a distance as to render it impossible to carry their children (or babies we might say, for many, though able to walk, are only babies) twice a day, and do a day\u2019s work besides, and many mothers were in the hospital for weeks together, so it was found imperative, if they were to help the working class, to provide beds and accommodation for children by the week.The house is often filled to the extent of its accommodation and they are obliged to decline applications for want of beds.At present every bed is occupied.Since April there have been 7 different children under the care of the nurses, many of them for weeks and months at a time, and perhaps it would be well to say here, that the Creche admits no child that can find room, or comes under the rules of any other institution\u2014but is simply a temporary home and school for those who on account of being over age, or under age, or for want of room are deciined elsewhere, Many touching incidents cluster around this branch of work, making the Committee earnestly desire more room, more workers and more money to carry it on.To the many kind friends who have helped them in various ways and enabled the Creche to keep a footing when it was in deep waters, the Committee return their warmest thanks and beg all well wishers who have not already contributed to the Nursery in this year of its existence, to remember that they solicit their aid, \u201cfor the sake\u201d of many \u201clittle ones.\u201d Subscriptions gratefully received by the Treasurer, 249 Mountain street.Epry\u2019s Co00A.\u2014GRATEFUL AND
