Religion to Encircle the Earth.

It is reported that a movement is on foot, with its headquarters at Pittsburg, to girdle the earth with a series of religious conventions on the 1900th anniversary of the Christian era. A great expedition will start out, numbering, it is thought, some 1,000 persons, who will go entirely aropnd the world holding rousing religious services at every important stopping place. The first service will be held in San Francisco and the last in New York. Bombay, Jerusalem, Rome and London will be taken in on the way. The services are to be entirely nonsectarian. Several weeks will elapse between each service, and it is calculated that the expedition will take a year in making its rounds, and that it will oost each of the crusaders about *1 pOQ. ,
