What may come next, it is difficult to imâ€" ngine. In another branch of the Presbyâ€" terian familyâ€"the English Presbyterian Churchâ€"the introduction of a liturgy has been mooted,and Dr. Fraser, the Moderaâ€" tor for the current year, who was settled some years ago at Montreal, is a strong adâ€" voeute of this latest innovation, and in a year or two it is quite possible that a liturâ€" gy will be brought forward by Dr. Grantor Mr. John MeMilian or some other advanced member efthe CanadaPresbyterian Church. \ The GeneralAssembly of this Church was held this year in Montreal. The meeting is said to have been the most notable in its history, both as regards the work done,and the unanimity which generally prevailed among the members. Speechifying for its own sake, which is so marked a characterâ€" istic of our secular Parlisments, was in yreat disf.rour ; and the determination to boar no one. unless some new light was thrown upon the subject in hand, as a matâ€" ter of course, caused a little breezo occasâ€" stonally among the wordy members of the court, but in the end all secemed to be satisâ€" fied with thepropriety of the course pursued. In common with other religious bodies the Presbyterian Church is evidently recognizâ€" ing the necessity of placing itself in accord with the genias of the age. Not long ago the use of instrumental music was sanctionâ€" ed. ‘This was considered at the time as a very great innovation. And certainly in a church possessing the history of thePresbyâ€" terian Church, it was an intovation of no ordivary kind. But a greater innovation still, the use of a hynin book in the service of praise, has just been formally agreed to, at the late sitting of the Assembly, only one memberâ€"Dr, Cooke, of Quebecâ€" CAN â€"A very important divorce case cceupiâ€" ed the attention of the Presbyterian Assemâ€" bly at its recent meeting. A Mrs. Lewis, member of the Presbyterian Church of Arthur, left her husband on the ground of awlleged infidelity, After Kving separately for some years she removed to lllinois, where she resided forcighteen months, and baving obtained a divorce in that State, aho returned to Arthur and then married a Mr. Philliips six months afterwards, The divoree thas oltained in Illinois is not vaâ€" lid in Candada, and the quostion brought befsre the Assembly by appeal from the inâ€" ferior courts, was, whether her Standing as a member of the Church should be disâ€" turbed ? â€"After a long debato the Assembly deeided by a large majority that the divoree and the maurriage which followed should not be regarded as satisfying the requireâ€" ments of Christian duty, and that Mrs. Phillips cannot be recognized as a member of the Church until she has first of all comâ€" plied with the requirements of the civillaw of Canada. Had the decision been otherâ€" wise the Prosbyterian Church would have been placed in the position of formally sanctioning the lax state of morality which is found in Illinois and one or two other States of the Union. â€"â€"The English Conservative Press, folâ€" lowed by their Canadian brethren, are raisâ€" ang a hue and ery agginst Mr. Gladstone Afor proposing in the House of Commons a resolution to the effect that Mr. O‘Donuell, a turbalent Home Rulet, be not heard, as i# Mr., Gladstone forsooth, attempted to put down the right of free speech, The fact is that the Pretmier considered Mr. O‘Donâ€" nell‘s attack upon M. Lacour, the French Minister, who could not reply, an insult to the House and to the country he repreâ€" sented, and was, therefore, justified under the cireumstances. Mr. Gladstone finally withdrew his motion with the understading that Mr, O‘Donmmell would in future conâ€" fine himsel{ to the subject before the House, â€"Agrarian outrages have again comâ€" menced in Ireland. The ostensible cause is the land quostionâ€"the inability of the people to pay the rent and the consequent evictions by the landlords. Not many days ago Mr. Gladstone stated in the House of Commons that the Poace Preservation Act would not be renewed, as the Government relied on the good sense of the people of Ireland for the preservation of the perce. However, these brutal outrages would show that Ireland cannot yet be left to itself. There is no question but that Parvell and demagogues of his class are chiefly responâ€" sible for the chronic state of disaffection which permeates the lower orders of the people in that unfortunate country. t.

This may bring a smile of increaulity to the faces of many, but I can assure you that there is a reach of water within ten minâ€" utes‘ walk of the town, of nearly, if not fully two miles in length, which, for beanty. ennnot be surpassed. A small expenditure of money in cutting through ‘"one or two jambs is all that 1s required to place within the reach of all one of the most enjoyable recreations. The heated term is close upon us, and it requires only to be understood to find plenty of supporters. Who will be the first to move in the matter ? f in scecord with the political faith of the Government of the day. The natural inference is that the organiâ€" zation scheme of the Government will reâ€" sult only in carrying out still further the poliey‘ pursued in the past,â€"of bringing the entire Civil Service staff if possjble still more To the Editor of the Reiew. ‘ The Globe, in referring to the way in which the Government of Sir John A. Macâ€" donald has dealt with those officials in the service who might be suspected to have any Liberal proclivities, says :â€"From the day that Mr. Buckingham was disnussed till now no week has passed without the discharge of Reform employees. In Woedâ€" nesday‘s issue we published an extract from a Conservative paper indignantly protested against tha dismissal of four postmastersâ€" its political opponents. On the same day we recorded the brutal discharge of Mr Morse, Customs officer at Rear River, N. S., who had interfered with the operations of certain influential smugglers. Every Reformer who could be replaced on the Intercolonial Railway was loug dismirsed. The Postmaster at Toronto was superanâ€" nuated to make room for the late conductor of the "Mail" The Postmasterat St.John was kicked out. So were all the Reform torm inspectors cf weights and measures. In fact, the Ministers have dismissed their political opponents just as rapidly as was consistent with the wish to keep some offiâ€" ces for which hungry supporters might clamour. The appointment of Royal Commissions has always been regarded as a specios of enqtiry only resorted to in grave cireumâ€" stances and when the truth could not be readily obtained by the appointment of an Iordin:u'y Committee. However, since the close of the last session of the Dominion ] Parliament, two Royal Commissions have been appointed by the Government of Sir Pohu A. Macdonaldâ€"one for tiie purpose of enquiring into the present state, and fuâ€" | ture prospects of the Canada Pacific Railâ€" way, and another to examine into the working of the Civil Service. In the Govâ€" erument programme brought down at the beginning of the last session a measure was promised for the reform of the Civil Service Nothing was done. SirJohn and his friends were too busy in discharging old officials up and down the country, and filling their ‘ places with Conservatives of the most apâ€" proved type, to give any artention to remeâ€" dying the gross abuses which everybody acknowlodged to permeate every branch of the Civil service, and which not only made it exceedingly costly to the country, but impaired its efficiency and destroyed its morale. The Civit Service Commission Appointed a fow days ago by theGovernment consists of Mr. D. Melnnes, of Hamilton, Mr. Baubeau of Montreal, and some offiâ€" cials (!) now in the service. What importâ€" ant light these gentlomen can throw on the subject entrusted to them, it is difficult to imagine ; but so transparent is the bypoâ€" crisy of the Government in seeming to do something when in reality they are doing less than nothing, that the Mail feels constrained to put forth a most lahoured apology for their specious trifling. "Neverâ€" theless," says the "Mail,‘ in the most apologetic tone, "the Government by apâ€" pointing a new Commission for the purpose of preparing a scheme of reâ€"organization, gives evidenco of its dosire to discover what means of improvement and economy may exist." At the same. time the organ assures its readers that it is not the duty of the Commission to enquire into the merits of the competitive system !_ It has been genâ€" erally understood that the application of the competitive system is the only means of working any improyement in the Civil Service. pathy with and respect for the past should certainly be regarded, but the right and the wrong in all such matters, mast in the long run be determined according to the view the Church is led to take of Scripture. The work of the Prosbyteriam Church hag made great strides during the year. Esâ€" pecially is this noticeable in the work of the Home Mission. The year opened with a debt of over $48,000 against the fund, but guished Scottish theologians, Dr. Cairns aud _ Dr. Bruce, who _ repesented the United Presbyterian and Free Churches of Scotland respectively. the liberality ofâ€" that ‘he debt has not only been paid off; but a balance placed to its credit. This is a good example to other denominations whose missionary operations are struggling with a load of debt, and must be very gratâ€" ifyiag to our Presbyterian readers, as no donbt they have aided materially in bringâ€" ing about this grand result. In other deâ€" partments the progress of the Church has been equally marked.
