As a rule, the curse is obselete, and few believe in a sal« vation possible only from Church immbonhip. The administration of the sacrament may, under certain circumâ€" stances, be righteously withheld, but it is not withheld from even the greatest crimâ€" inal if he expresses a wish to have it ad« ministered. ‘The curse of the ecclesiastic is visited upon men who are not crimical as regards Society,‘but simply on men who offend against the Church. Whatever the object ~may be, it is ridiculous and puerile, Anathema cannot and does not prevent schism. It may be presumed rum. the Church‘s curse will cause the many to submit to the exercise of mumâ€" meries and flummeries against which the judgment of the few rebels, and which are a positive disgrace to modern Christianity. The many do submit. But people, uninâ€" fluenced by priestcralt see that Protestant Churches are decorated; that there are candles lighted on the altars ; that the services are intoned , that the chorister: are surpliced; that the organ, not the congregation, groans the Amen ; and that the sermon is slurred over as of no avail> The ungodly smile; The earnest take avother view, and see in these absurd cerâ€" emonies the beginning of that dec#y in Christianity which must assuredly reeult rom such beathenish practices. Peéople may complain, but redressis unittainable. The great heads ofthe Church seem to have lost all authority over the lesser clergy, or to be unable to exercise it, while the more silly smong the Bishops approve of doings, which, in themselves, are su‘â€" cient to make the very angels weep. With the latter remonstrance is scoffed at or anathematized. Anathema ! Theword is startling. _ One is inclined ‘to ask if ecciesiastical malediction can be possis ple in this age ? â€" Will not congregations, in spite of such stupid cursings, rebel and declare emphatically by their acts tha they will have a naked christianity, and insist upon being permitted to join in that besutiful church service in which they have becn brought up unadulterated .by altarâ€"cherubs, lighted candles, gurgeously surpliced curates, orthe the weird howâ€" lings, which, in some churches, have taken the place of the reverend reading or repeuting of prayer ‘Lhere cin be oaly ose answer.. ‘Thesa innovations introduced by "eijucatei" clergymen will disgust congregitions, and w.th conâ€" &regations the true remedy rests. This we siate on the suthority of the Arch, bishops of Canterbury and York. Let the theatrical performances ot ritualism only go a hitle further, and as ceriainly will a disruption of the Church of Engâ€" land take place at home and abroad, ns one did take place, for less cause, in the Church of Scotland, More, it is not im. probable that the movement will hasten the disestablishment of the Church of England berself. . Let those who are asâ€" tounded at the Cummins reformation take warning by what has already happened, in the matter of the Nicene contaoversy, ©Ajlexander, Bishop of Alexandria, and Arius, who was a presbyter in his diccese, wisputed together about the nature of at the notions of Arius, and finding that they were adopted by other persons, was It is stated by some that Mr. Steacy has been excommunicated by Bishop Lewis, for his action in support of the new Pro= testant Episcopal Church movement, but yesterday that gentleman bimself was unâ€" able to say whether he had or not, and his demeanour, at least, afforded no evidence of any mental depression or physical inâ€" convenience from the ecclesiastical dis cipline to which he may have been subs jeoted. It is hardly likely ho could have been thus cut off from the ancient fold without knowing of it positively. We therefore think the repor t unfounded or premature. Inâ€"conversation with parties connected with the Cummins‘ secession in this city, wefound that the prospect of their excommunication had no terrors for them, and particularly as they have taken means to secure a church and pastor agreealle to their views of what is pure in doctrine and becoming and edifjing in the conduct of Divine Service. ‘The Rev. ‘ Dr. Gallagher seems to have given great satisfaction yesterday, to judge of the atâ€" tendance, the heartiness characterizing the devotional exercises, and the close atteDn. vion paid the preacher.

TAYLOR with Ajent points TICKâ€" QNLY Itis difficult for Englishmen or Canaâ€" dians to understand the extreme sensi« tiveness of the French authorities in everyâ€" thing relating to politics. ‘The last news deemed worthy of transmission by the cable, is that the Minister of the Interior had prohibited. the sale of photographs of the Count de Chambord, ‘This Prince was reported ill, lately, and his prospects have been considered the reverse of promising ever since his failure to commend himself to even the bulk of the Royalists, an event immediately followed by the election of President McMahon for seven years. â€" In fact the Count has latterly been consider, ed out of the race in the matter of com. petition for the French sceptre, so that the compliment now ‘paid his real or im« aginary importance, by this embargo on his photograph, is rather puzzling. The wian himself not baving been shown to be very potent, one could imagine his mere shadow need not excite the alarm of the Ministers, But so it_is. In fact the old vice of Government interference in alj thingsâ€"â€"paternal or providential superviâ€" sion in regard to domesticmatters, evenâ€" still adheres to the system, no matter how designated, or by whom conducted. The people‘s characteristics may furnish some excuse for this executive vigilance and meddling, for they seém fond of feeling the authority under which they live, and they certainly are well accustomed to its pressure. Restlessness and love of change are still mighty influences in France, and with skilful working upon the prejudices and feelings of the masses, great results may be obtuined from those weaknesses of passions, ‘The partisans of the Bourâ€" couns are yet numerous and active, the old 1t is almost impossible for people living in productive and thinly peopied coun. tries like Canada, to form any adequate idea of the greatness of the calamity from which a large portion of the Indian Emâ€" pire is suffering. The entire population of the smitten Province equals that of all England, and about haif the number are and have been on short supplies of food; while four or five millions are in a state of semiâ€"sturvation, with no prospect but a terrivle death before them, if not fed by the outside world. Multitudes bave been kept merely in a state of existence by the fopd furnished them by the Indian Gov ernment, while great numbers in the re~ mote districts, difficult to reach, have died of hunger or its resultant diseases, Hun» dreds of thousands, if no millions are enfeebled and rendered a prey to sickness by insufhcient food, ‘The whole region is oppressed with want and dread of the future, and it will require eftorts almost miraculous to procure and tra nsâ€" port to the needy districts eno ugh food to barely preserve alive the bulk of their inâ€" habitants, Lord Northbrooke estimates the number that will have to be supportâ€" ed, for fully three months, at three milâ€" lions, Many more may require daily adâ€" ditions to such little supplies as may be within their own command, The task and responsibility thus thrown upon the Briti and Indian Governments is truly enorâ€" mous. It is pleasani is know that both l seem desirous of doing all in their power to avert this great misortune, or confine it within the smaliot practicable limits. Duty, seifinterest, pavriotism all commend } the utmost efforts and smcrifices with this _ object, _ for. nothing is so precious as human life. The authorities have sensibly determined to obtain some return for the aid granted, in the shape of useful work in roadâ€"making and other enterprizes, likely to prove perâ€" manently useful. Immease numbers of men and women, too, are being employed with this object, with the advantage of saving their selfâ€"respect from the reproach of sleemosynary assistance.. Une of the hardships of this system, howoever, was in* dicated by Mr. Disraeli, in his speech at Buckingham, consisting in the exaction of work from women of high caste, and others, too delicate for such a strain. To save their lives, much humiliation and sutâ€" fering will, doubtless, have to be borne, It is feared the Government, with all its zeal and resources, will not be able to maintain three or four millions for so long atime. ‘The physical difficulty of for« warding such vast quantities of food to districts remote and ill off for good roads, may be imagined. Were there railâ€" roads, it would be another matter. The expense to the authorities, to the end of February, is given at $7,500,000, but that l is not the most serious consideration. ‘The lives of so many beings are worth an ins finitely larger amount, and we believe the question of money will not be allowed to stand in the way of any possible effor} for the preservation of these unfortunate peo~ ple. Great progress has been made of late years with public works in India, such as railroads, and nothing could afford stronger proof of their need than this famine, If it should give an impetus to such improvements, it will not have turned out an unmixed evil. ‘ With the country opened up by iron roads, the starâ€" vation of millions in any province, by reaâ€" son of a failure of the crops, should not be possible under sagacious and energetic rulers. > ,nry angry. He commarded Arius to come over i: his sentiments and to quit his own; as if a man could change his Opinions as easily as he could change his coat, He then called a council, consistâ€" ing of nearly a hundred bishops, and deâ€" posed, excommunicated, and anathematized Arius, and with him several ecclesiasâ€" ‘tics, two of whom were bishops‘ But th> heresy made progress neverthe, ress. Deposition,‘exc~mmnuication, and_ anathema had no effect. ‘The difference ; of opinion was not one of incon:istency | but of judgment. And so is the presert | controversy, culminating in Cifominism . | Whatever Ritualism may suppose, the t «‘Fools‘ Morris Dance,‘ " triangalar canâ€" :dles," "triune heads," and « devils tailâ€" i pieces" have long given way It’o thas come mon sense of which Ritualism seems to be ! ignorant, and unless some change speedily ‘ | takes place among a pecularly educated. clergy, serious evils, we repeat, will, in the ‘ natural course of events, come upon the Church which the maledictions of Bishops will be utterly powerloss to prevent. Coercion, in things spiritual, is utterly exâ€" pleded in the minds of all thinking men, and it does not require much education to produce common sense. â€" Where that quality is to be found, Ritualism, in our . opinion, gan have no place, and the inferâ€" ’eceo is that a clergymaa should not only be an educated man, but be possessed of natural ability, pure instincts, and have a good share of common sense, which very many of them evidently have not.

Why ? 1 beg Colonus to bear in mind that a distance of over 200 miles mtmw' between either of the passes sugges and the Chilootin, Some of the numerous ‘affluents of the Posce River take their source not far from the Pacific coast, and many thousand feet above the sea. Others again, (for instance, those lying between McLeod Lake and the soutb), rise at an elevation of about 2,400 feet, or thereabouts. Upon this waterâ€" shed, then, a little stream takes its rise, and after passing into Lake La Carpe and Long Lake, <it falls 150. feet in a single leap, and finally reaches Lake McLeod.

Mr. Grant on coming forward ‘lpokom:whtuwthl::ameronho meeting, i Appuflngto im to be a platâ€" ;form?%mmh cied there was more latitude to beallowed than if he addressed them from a pulpit. all En:sdtremombor, however, that it was the ‘s Day, and as.such, everything that was done must be strictly of the nature of a Christian ‘work. He therefore deemed it necessary to ask all to assume seriously the work of stemming the tide of intemperance; for if such were not done, its progress would naturally be impeded by such indifference, and more injury thin good would result from such a course in the world. He did not purpose delivering a lecture on temâ€" perance, as some might imagine he should at such a meeting,, but . would offer a few remarks on a subject referred to very early in Scripture : * Am I my brother‘s keeps er?" He would ask in the first place, who : your ‘brother was? In repfy he stated that any one who â€" sought your u-ummae whether at home, in ‘Africa among negroes, or in India, where people sacrifice themselves at the shrines of idolatory, were your brethren. Take & young unsophisticated lad from the country, who comes for the first time into your city to live. and who is ex; to every temptation in themyofen’.{?.fi‘ infimyonwillfiudnyomifubmihern- quiring your protection. He said young men who on SNabbath afternoons congreâ€" gated on street corners, and indulged in chewing tobaceo, cursing, swearing and the use of obscene language to passersaby, l were also brethren and required your . asâ€" ‘ sistance. ‘They had an influence in society for good or for evil, and the better classes of society were responsible if the latter should result to those, who should have beencared for by them in the hour of danger. He then adverted to tipplers and I:'.?nwho had become the slavish vic» time temperance, as brothers require« ing the assistance and advice of dl;eqthou who were & truly christian people, After citing -om:.othu instances in“:.nmilu direction, he next proceeded to second portion of his remarks.
