Rev. Mr. Rainsford is a vigorous and un- compromising opponent of the pew rental system. It is. he says. the moat comfort- able. the most convenient, and the mo; cer- tain way of keepinp up an expensive church." If every man was admitted to church free. or left to give what he pleased. if there were no bars of division or exclusion, they would cease to he fashionable, for they are fashionable only because they attract the people who make fashion, and who are fastidious about the company they keep. But the name of a religious club better de- scribes and designates such an institution than the name of church. 'Ihe cluh may be useful in its way to the limited number of people who pay for its privileges, but as a centre for the general propagation of Uhrie tiauity its value is diminished.

We read `that Billy Maloney, formerly reading clerk of the New York board of aiilermen, has gone to Brussels. In talking lately of the boodle trials in New York he said he was innocent of all wrong, but he would never go back to New York while any of his friends were in danger of getting into prison through his testimony. From Billy's description, says the London cor. 'respondent of a New York paper, "the life of the boodlers in Canada is wretched and lonesome." Indeed ! What makes it so? Is it not the consciousness of wrong com- mitted, of painful restraint. of isolation from friends, of the disoontentmeni of exile ? The boodlers have fared well in CanaLia---so far as luxurious living is concerned. They have enjoyed themselves so far as money could purchase enjoyment. In the midst of their festivity they felt uneasy. restless, dejected. The amusement to which they resorted did not relieve them of their oppreuion. I'he dissipetion in which they indulged did not obliterate the coopiiousness of their crimi- nality. Canada and the Canadian people were not responsible for their misery. They were not induced to come to this country, and they would not have thought of doing so had the United States government been as eager as the Canadian government to en- ter into a new treaty for the extradition of eenders. A _s1s1w1>'s Poslrzolv. ' _ /\ Bishop Ussher, of thex Reformed Episcopal tihuroh infC_anada..has come out most em- phatically against the lottery as a nieTsna'of raising money for religious purposes. As the head of one branch of the` Christian church he repudiates l'rales.""grab-bagl." sh-ponds." and any of these kindred de~ vices used for the enrichment of a cause which the Lord will not bless. While I do not,f he says, see any objection to a sim- _ ple sale of useful or fancy articles, not but what I would much prefer and alwayradvo-` cats the oertory, I do most heartily con-- demn all illegal modes of making money. It is disgraceful to `see professing Christians, who ought to be the most "law-abiding of all citizens, knowingly breaking the law, under the supposition that because it is for a church it will be winked at. I _hope it .will be winked at no more, but rigidly put down and punished in every place `in the dominion where it is practiced. There is i nothing equivocal about that speech. It is plainly and strongly denunciatory of schemes` and events which are not designed to reflect vcredit hpon the church. There is too much imitation in church practices. Because one denomination does something irregular and questionable another body will venture to` repeat it. The blunder of one party is there- fore liable to lead to the blunder of several parties. There is not enough independence in the church , not enobgh resistance to prac~ tices which cannot be fairly defended. The remedy of every irregularity lies witlr the clergy. If they do generally what the clergy of \\ atertown have pledged them-, selves to do, oppose all practices of whatever sort and by whomsoever urged that will not stand criticism. there will not be occasion for the rebuke which Bishop Ussher admin- isters, and with great good reason.
