RELittiern. Waiiamincilnnt.nl. Mohammedanism numbers at this day 130, 'SKi,(too devout believers, mid hus its jjfrlp on three continents. It still holds the cradles of the Jewish mid of the Christian faith, and the spots most dear to both Mount Sinai' nnd the Cuvo of Machpeluli, the Church of the Nativity and the Church j of the Holy Sepulchre, From the Strait ul' Gibraltar to the Isthmus ol Sue* may still be heard the cry, "God is great; there is no god but God, nnd Mohammed is His prophet.” Chinese Tartary hus thrown off the yoke of China, and has added another to the list of Mussulman kingdoms. Throughout the Chinese Empire there are Mussulman communities who have higher hopes than buddhism or Confucianism, nnd a purer morality than Tuvistn can supply. From the time it was expelled from Western Europe, Islam began extending its oomjuoata to Eastern Asia. It ex pelled Hiudooism and buddhism from many islands. Its missionaries conciliated the natives, learned their language, aud intermarried with j them, mul their success was rapid and complete. Tit*' Spaniards and | Portuguese came afterwards and eon- j tpiered the Philippines and the Mol-! luceas. which did not become Mo hammedan. Christianity did not spread here, for the most fatal lilnd r a rice to tlie spread of Christianity lias been the lives of the Christians. 11l Africa, Islam is spreading itself by giant strides. The ne gro, who accepts Mohammedanism, acquires, at ouce, a sense ol the dignity of human nature not commonly found among them. The general moral elevation of a negro tribe that accepts Islam is as marked ns it is rapid. Polygamy is allowed by the Koran, but is not generally practiced; chastity is looked upon ns one of tin' highest virtues. With re gard to Mohammed, Dante placed him in his ninth circle, in the “In ferno,’’among the sowers of religious discord; Luther doubted whether he was not worse than the Pope; Mc lunetlion believed him to be either Gog or Magog, and probably both. France und England may divide the credit of having taken a different view of the character of tile great Ara bian before other nations. Gibbon drew from the Koran his splendid i sketch of Mohammed. Judaism and ! Christianity were known ill Arabia, though neither of these religions ever j struck deep root in Arabian soil. : The Koran is a medley, dictated from time to time by Mohammed to liis dis ciples. Mohammed called his religion a return 10 the primitive creed of Abraham. We a! I the vision of the last day as taken from the Koran : Take, for instance, the vision of the last day with which the eighi.v-llrsi ) sura, "I'lic Folding Up,” begins: When the enn Hisalt bo folded up, And vvhou tho t-tarn Khali IXII, Aud whiiu th uiJuntaiiiH shall be set in motion. And when the ebc-uaiucie with young shall be neglected. And when tho wild boantH Nhall bo huddled to gether. And when the kom shall boil, Aud when 8-mi* Bhsll Ins joined again to their bodies, And when the female child that has been buried alive shall oak lor what crime she wan put t. death. And when the leaves of the Book uliatl be un rolled, Aud when the Heavens Khali be stripped away like a *kia, Aud when Hell shall bo made to blaze, Aud when Paradise shah be brought near— Every s >ul * tail know what it has done. Mohammedanism—R. Ur* worth .S mill’s Hook vpen /$Um.) - . Modern philosophy says; "The sanctions of conscience cluster about three points tho security of life, of property and of home.” WOMAN OATIiOUC. —The Bishop of Wilmington, Del., has issued a pastoral on the Jubilee, ill which lie designates four churches in that city to which the faithful can repair to obtain the indulgences granted by the Pope. A Washington correspondent of tlie Baltimore Mirror says that Washington is fast approaching Na ples, Paris, Dublin and Quebec in the appropriate observance of flic solemn and grand ceremonies of the Catliolic Church. —Eighty coctesirtsties are said to be imprisoned at Posen, Germany, among them the one who has ucted as archbishop iff that diocese since tho arrest of his predecessor. The Archbishop’s administrator of the diocese oi Freiburg, Herr Hubei, was on the util of March ordefe 1 In the Correctional Tribunal of the city to pay a line ot £D, or, in dciuuit, to undergo ten days’ imprisonment for illegal transfer of some of the func tions of his office. Herr Ilubel pro tested against the competence of the Court. —The condition of the expelled nuns in Italy is most pitiful. .Many of them, in their ol I uge, are totally without means or resource, and their number adds to ,he calamity. Char ity fails to relieve their distress, and these whose lives were devoted to ttie succor of the poor, the sick and the ignorant arc now without home and shelter. —An act of courtesy not often re corded was shown last week in Nat ick, Mass., where the Kev. William McDonald was holding revival meet ings. On Sabbath evening the Met h odist Episcopal church was crowded and a great many stood outside, un able to enter. Tne Catholic folks seeing this made an offer of scats, which it is presumed was accepted, though /film’s Hrralcl does not state the fact. Tho Presbyterian church in this city made the same offer several years ago to the Right Reverend Bishop Beckwith, of the Diocese of Georgia, and tfie offer was accepted. Tire Marquis Vivien de Vuraville, a gentleman of very high rank, lias justontere I the Carthusian Order at the Grand Chartreuse. METHODJBT. —lt seems almost inorelible to be lieve that ;ifil persons have at one time or another since the rise 'if Methodism set themselves seriously to work to write it down. Yet such appeal - * to be the fact from a compi lation ol auti-Metho lisLiyul works made and published here by 11. C. Decanver, who tells us in his preface that ho has not included all such works in his ca'alogue; eighty of these works were written by Metho dists, eighty-five were by miscellane ous authors, twenty-one were politi cal and the balance were written by Episcopalians. And yet Methodism lives and is healthy. —The colored congregation of St. Francis Xavier, Baltimore, numbers 3.000. Tin* Uiiuiiui't anil the It.blr. On a tlnesummcrday.au unexpect ed shower drove two or three little purtles into a cottage for temporary shelter. A Bible and bouquet of (low ers lay upon the table. A shrewd looking man, one of the company, ap proached the table. He was mi illdel. He opened tlie Bible, then closed it again with a smile that was mingled with derision. He then took tip tlie bouquet. "Tnis suits me best,' 1 said he with an .exulting air, "for it has no mystery; I win understand it. Its colors are fair, and its scent delight ful.” Saying this, he pulled a flower from the bouquet ami stuck it in bis bosom. A pause succeeded; but it was soon broken by tin old gentle man, whose meek and mercy-loving face was grateful to gaze upon, nnd whose grey hair entitled him to ro si'ot. He Imd heard the observation of the inlidel, and felt anxious to counteract its influences. Advancing to the table, he also took up the bou quet. "How beauteous in His gifts,” said lie, "is the father of mercies! How delicately formed are these flow ers! how rich are their varied tints, and how sweet is the fragrance they exhale! but shall we forego tlie joy of inhaling their fragrance, and the delight of gazing upon their beauty, because we cannot explain the hidden mysteries of t heir existence. We know not how the dry, husky, unsightly seed, when sot in tho ground, could start up into such glorious forms; we cannot tell how it is, that from the snme soil such different stems should siniug, and ou the same flower such varied lints appear; nor know we whv some of tin* fairest and sweetest of flowers should be thickly pointed with thorns. These things are mys teries; but if we wait tilt we can com prehend them, the flowers will fade away, for their life is short. And win should we not?" continued he, putting down the boquel and taking u{' tlie Bible, “why should wo not use tlie Word of tied in the same way? Mysteries it has, which its Almighty Author alone eau explain. But shall we waste our short lives in brooding over them, mid neglect the greater part, which is quite plain, and overlook tlie inunifold mercies it proffers for our acceptance? Let us leave, then, all mysteries, both of na ture and grace, till it shall please God to unravel them to our under standing; and, in tlie meantime, let us, while rejoicing that God’s works and Word both show that he is ‘the Wonderful,’ gratefully place the glowing flowers of tile bouquet in our bosoms, and tho gracious conso lations of the Bible in our hearts.” The London Court Circular, which had it been issued only thirty years ago would never have mentioned a Baptistieul rite, contains this notice iu its issue of March l;i; The Oratory ißoman Catholic;Church,Brampton, was crowded on Tuesday with a fash ionable congregation, the occasion being one of the greatest solemnities or the Roman Cat liolic Church, viz., "Exposition of tlie Blessed .Sacra ment.” Amongst those wlio took a leading part was tlie Marquis of ltip on, who, it is now well known, is a member of the Roman Catholic com munion. In tlie procession of the blessed sacrament around tlie church the noble Marquis assisted us one ot the bearers of the canopy which was hold over the ;.acred hostand this public testimony of his belief in tlie real presence of our Saviour in tlie blessed sacrament uttranted much ob servation. Tho oilier bearers of the canopy with His Lordship were the Hon. Mr. North, tlie Hon. Mr. Law, and Mr. Gallon. The alter of exposi tion and the sanctuary were brilliant ly illuminated and tastefully laid out with tho choicest flowers. Tlie Mar quis of Ripon joined with the congre gation in adoring the blessed sacra ment.. Tlie London correspondent of the New York World writes; Tlie Angli can Bishops arc in possession of large incomes. The Archbishop of Canter bury has $73,000 a year, the Arch bishop of York $50,000, the Bishop of London $50,000; tlie other Bishops’ sums ranging from SIO,OOO to $31,000, with tiie exception of the Bishop of* Sodor and Man, who has only $lO,- 000. But these Bishops complain that they have too much worktodo. They ask for more Bishops, and anew See is now to be carved out of the corners of several of the others, and to be called St. Albans. But when it came to providing for tlie endowment of the new See the Government refused to give a penny ; the laity drew their purse-strings tight, and the Bishops found themselves compelled to en dow it themselves. The Bishop of Winchester gave his town house to be sold; it is worth 60,000 pounds, and to keep it up costs about 3,0110 yearly. The Bishop of Rochester gives up Essex and Hertford, and sells Dan bury Palace, which is wortli about 11,000, Home of the other Bishops also contribute, and thus a decent living for the new prelate.will be pro video. And in thus nutting their hands in their own pockets the Bish ops show themselves wise in tlndi go iteration. i'llnrc!i convent tiitii. The mouth of May will be a busy time in all tlie Protestant Churches of our country. On tho 7th of that month tho General Convention of the Southern Baptists begins in Charles ton, South Carolina; on the 11th the International Convention of Sunday school Workers opens in Baltimore; on the 19th occurs the triennial ses sion of tlie German Reformed Synod at Fort Wayne, Indiana ;on tlie same day the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Protestant Church meets at Princeton, Illinois; on the 29th the two General Assem blies of the Presbyterian Church convene, the Nortli at Cleveland, Ohio, the Southern at St. Louis. The General Unions of the Baptists also hold their annual sessions usually during tlie third week in May, con vening tins year iri Philadelphia. The General Synod of the Lutheran Church meet at Staunton, Virginia, on the 25th. In addition to these, are the annaversnrles usually held in Boston and New York. The Episcopal Church has recently been embarrassed by tlie question as to the extent to which differences in doctrine mav lie taught, by the clergy or believed' in by communicants. Tills subject was discussed at tile Conference yesterday. The Episco palian denomination lias recently be come liberal in its views, and oven tlie doctrine of eternal punishment is no longer regarded ns an essential af final of religious faith. Certainly few of the leading clergymen preach it, though some of them may possibly practice it. “The New York Daily Bulletin sum marizes theenormotis waste of weult h in one department alone, which may be taken as a test of all. Alluding to the miners’ war in Pennsylvania, the bulletin calculates that $300,000,000 of capital and 100,000 persons are now idle in this one State, simnlv on (re count of the strikes. The loss in wages is $200,000, and on eapirnl at 6 per cent. $75,000 a day. Thus the laborers lost eight dollars per day, while capital losses only three dol lars. The aggregate loss per week is $1,650,000, without taking into ac count any profits of production to capitalists and the country.” W.J. WAIT. J. A. WALKER. CHAB. H. WATT.
