CREEDS AND THEIR USE. Rev. Mr. Howe, of the Congregational Church of this city, preached a very excellent sermon last Sunday upon this topic. He has taken ground far in advance of most orthodox ministers of the day. He announces that, under certain circumstances, be would accept into full membership in his church both Unitarians and Universalists, although he holds their doctrines to be most dangerous and pernicious. Evidences of Christian purpose, and of Christian life, are his tests of fitness. He adds, however, that while he would be willing to accept into bis church true Christians, who hold pernicious doctrines, that he would not consent for such persons to teach in the church after their admission.

We would detract nothing from the honor which is due Mr. Howe for the advanced position he has taken, but it woqld seem that he has stopped a little short a logical and impregnable posltioh. That a Christian who has attained peace through faith in the lesson ofthe KazareM^icher may not instniot ofhers to in tho path seems a

iinwAra

Why

jesn8

ttei

will followers ot Jesus attempt to interdict the disclosure of any road which leads to the foot of Calvary? More than this: Is it lust, is it Christlike, to say to the Universalist or Unitarian who may apply for admission to tbe Congregational Church:

You may come and sit among us, but "you may not open your mouth. You may be a Christian, good enough to "»it with God and the angels, but you may not instruct your fellows in the "path which has brought j'ou to

jieace."

the main, Mr. Howe's sermon was logical, generous and noble. We may remark here that he seldom preaches any other kind. He defended creeds because it is natural that there should be shades of belief to satisfy the human mind, though ho denounced in unmeasured terms tho requirement of most orthodox churches that applicants for membership subscribe to certain doctrines and articles of faith which aro not comprehended in nino cases out of ten.

We'eonfcssito a lack of faith in the value and efllcacy of creeds in these days. We believe in denominations. Men have choice in reference to church government and church associations, and there is no good reason why thoy should not be gratified but we are unablu to see that stern beliet in the trinity, in a peculiar form ol baptism, io transubstantiation, in predestination, in papal infallibility, or other creed not vital to Christian belief, has ever dried the tears of the unfortunate, or made men love each other more. Thero is a Christian Creed without full acceptance of which no man can call himself a follower of tho Redeemer It is Christ's own lesson of dliarity and love. It is a Creed so simple and plain that tho humblest of earth can comprehend it, and yet it is so firmly founded in truth that all the intelli gence and reason of this wonderful age cannot reftite it or belittle it. The humble can see its beauties with unclouded vision, and the mighty can detract naught from its loveliness and symmetry. It is tho law for the lowly and forsaken and ignorant, and it is in harmony with the highest civilisation. Tbe Present, which exceeds in intelligence and goodness all the buried ages, more nearly fills the measure of Christianity than any period of the Past. This is because surpassing intelligence Is drawing mankind closer together. Perplexing creeds and differences are counted of less importance each passing year, at)d room is demanded for the pare doctrine of the universal brotherhood of man.

The Great Creed of which we speak Is broad enough for any Christian church. Christ applied no greater test to bis followers. From other creeds and doctrines, and dogmas, have come constant wars and jealousies, and aelmositles, and persecutions. W® surely are not wrong in this proposition: that that crwd is useless and wrong* from which evil oan come. From the uncompromising advocacy of all creeds and doctrines, save the pure lesson of love and charity attributed to Jesua, evil has cotne and hence we believe such doctrines to be useless and unnecessary, if not positively pernicious. Let men pat their Ikith in such doctrines as they choose, not in-' nartnooioua with the Great Creed, bat let no man, aniens he would offend God, rl*im that he haw found a royal road to Heaven not open to all who are good and pure regardless

of doctrine,

dogma or creed. The «ar« (hry are many,

INDIA.

We aretoid that India,afterunknown centuries of immobility, is, at last, like so many other countries in a "transition state." Tbe native mind seems to be in a kind of ferment. Reform has taken no positive channel, but there Is every evidence of a great awakening. Many newspapers have been established. In the northern provinces there are twenty-three journals printed in the native language. These orgaps of opinion are independently conducted. There is also organized religious dissent. The Hindoo worship has a weaker hold upon tbe people. Innovations have been made upon the marriage custom, and the sutteeiwidowiis no longer condemned to practice self-immolation on the funeral pile of her husband. Education is spreading rapidly, though not yet penetrating deeply. The better classes receive instruction in English schools, but there is not much schooling in command of the poor. Theie are many other evidences of an awakening. The Hindoo mind seems to move in quickened channels. For years past the debates in the legislative councils of the Indian Empire were characterized by nothing so much as the dreary dullness, tho wearying monotony, and somnolent solemnity of the proceedings but of late this has been changed. There has recently been an exhilarating controvesy on the income tax, where individual officials did not scruple to oppose the Viceroy to

THERE is a prevalent theory that intemperance in its worst phases exists among tho Anglo-Saxon and other Northern races, and that the wine-bib-ulous peoples are not addicted to drunkenness. In opposition to this theory comes the report from Switzerland that the progress of intemperance is so great that, in many agricultural anil manufacturing communes, the municipal revenues are absorbed in relieving tho wants of families whoso heads have become habitual drunkards. In several places houses of correction are being built for the purpose of confining the poor wretches who have fallen victims to this disease. It is stated on good authority that in ten years there has been an increase of public houses in the single canton of Geneva amounting to thirty-four per cent., and that there is now one place where intoxicating drinks aro sold to every seventy-two inhabitants.

TWO COLLEGE FRIENDS," By Fred. W. Lorjng. Boston, I.oring, Publisher. This is a beautiful and touching story of tho honorable self-sacrifice of a young man, in the late war, for the sake of friendship. It is told in Mr. Loring's most charming style. The happy blending of humor with the deepest pathos which characterizes this young author's stories, gives evidence that he posseees genius of the truest type. Our country which he so loves and honors, may well be proud to number him among ber brightest intellectual stars.

Dous tbe proposal to reconstruct the Column Veodome, with Napoleon I, in his gray coat and cocked hat on tbe top afflict oar friend ofthe MAIL?—-Erprew.

The MAIL regrets that tbe French Assembly has returned to Napoleonic idolatry. Inasmuch as the Express denounced as a terrible crime the destruction of the Yendome Column we presume it rejoices at evidence that tbe French people still worship the memory of the "Robber of Korope."

Iw the midst of the apparent treachery of Thiers and the general weakening of the Republican strength in tbe Assembly, it is well to remember a truth once altered by the first Napoleon Men are powerless to secure the fatare Institutions alone fix the destinies of nations."

and denounce with unsparing condemnation the imperial measures laid before them. Even in the sleepy Bengal council has been seen some signs of aggressive eloquence.

India is the land of poetry and mystery. It is tbe land of tbe sacred Gauges, of tho Juggernaut,of pueoi" the oldest Pagan religions. Its code of civil laws is older than the Christian religion. It is the mystic, the somnolent, the unchangable land. It has existed in an opium reverie. Progress in such a land is chained by a thousand customs and superstitions which have grown through long centuries into the life of tbe Hindoo people. It requires the startling phase of to-day's civilization to awaken India from its lethargy. Emtnisaries of the Christian religion have labored beside the Gauges with little effect lor a century. What the pure Word unaided has not been able to accomplish, tbe electric spark and the wonders of modern practical progress may do in a few years. Calcutta speaks instantaneously with London and Washington and Paris, and Berlin, and Vienna, and Rome, and St.- Petersburg. The civilized nations are drawing the Indian Empire closer to them. They whisper in its ear. The story of deveiopement more marvellous than that attributed in Hindoo story to Brahma, Siva, Visckun, and Indra, fills the land ofthe East*. Hoary tradition cannot withstand snch iuflufluences. India opens her arms to Christian civilization.

THE prevalence of the crime of abortion in this country is a matter of general knowledge, yet the magnitude of its practice is hardly appreciated. It is likely that one cannot walk a square in a city without meeting some one who bears tbe guilt of child murder. In 1885 Dr. Morse Stewart, of Detroit, Michigan, declared that lew of either sex entered the marital relation without full information as to the ways and means of destroying tho legitimate results of matrimony. And among married persons so extensive has this practice become that people of high repute not only commit this crime, but do not even shun to speak boastingly among their intimates of tbe deed and means of accomplishing it. Dr. Storer, of Massachusetts, in 1859, declared that forced abortions in America were of frequent occurrence, and that this frequency was increasing so that from 1 in 1,633 of the population in 1805 it had risen to 1 in 340 in 1849 and Dr. feyle, of Xenia, Ohio, asserted that abortions occurred most irequently among those who are known as the better class among church members and those gen1 erally who pretend to be the most polite, virtuous, moral and religious. And, without mincing matters at all, this eminent physician boldly declares that "a venal press, a demoralized cler"gy and tbe prevalence of medical charlatanism are the principal causes of the fearful increase of this aboruinable crime." The wealthy classes particularly seem disposed to sacrifice their children with as little h^aitation as the Hindoos. It istimeforthe Pulpit to raise its voice and the Press to thunder, and for all decent humanity to protest against the crime which puts mankind lower than the brute and blots Christian peoples with iui^uilies more vile than those which led to tbe Delug3.

THE announcement in the MAIL that the monopoly of news dispatches owned by the morning papers was destroyed, upon the completion of the new telegraph line was strictly true. Any newspaper can now procure the dispatches of the American Piess Association in this city by paying for them.—Mail.

If that is the case why don't you buy the American Associated Press reports and thereby relieve yourself of the mean insinuation, or rather charge, that you preferred against the morning papers several weeks ago ?—Journal.

And why don't you revise your own utterances and thereby relieve yourself of the "insinuation, or rather charge," that you don't know what you are writing about? We did say that the news monop61y was broken, and it is broken. There was no "mean insinua"ation, or

rather,

charge," in that, and

if there was a mean insinuation, or "rather charge," in our. statement, how can we relieve ourselves of it by purchasing tho dispatches of the American Associated Pressf? Will the unhappy scribe of the Journal enlighten US?

THERE is a good deal of puro humbug in the "eight hour" and "nine "hour" movement. That working meu should prefer nine hours' work to ten is natural enough, but it is not right that they should demand ten hours' pay for nine hours' labor. If they can ensure the perlormance for the future of as much work in nine hours as they are now in the habit of doing in ten, their case would bo good. We aro not certain that this cannot be ensured. It is not the number of hours that men toil, but the assiduity of their labor, that counts. Let the workmen demonstrate that decreased hours of labor will not depreciate Us value, and then their demand will be reasonable. Otherwise they must consent to a reduction of wages, if tho day's labor is shortened.

ALL the important countries of Europe are represented in the Congress ot the International Workingmen's Societies, now in session in London. The object of tho Congress, according to cable reports, is to make the necessary arrangements for immediato political and labor movements on the Continent. If Bismarck proposes to destroy this formidable organization, as he is said to have resolved upon doing, he will have to get to work without much delay. Even then he will be likely to find the job a very difficult one.

HORACE GREELKY gently chided the Indians of Northern Wisconsin because they are in the habit of yoking women with oxen to pull their plows. The Chappaqua farmer does not object to the practice on account of its inhumanity, but because the women aro not possessed of sufficient strength to make them valuable when hitched to a plow. It may be however, that he wouldrather see his own daughters married to good husbands who would drive them gently In plow harness than to see them on the political stump.

RICHAHD J. BRIGHT announces himself as a candidate for re-election to the office of State Printer. The people will demand that tbe next Legislature, whether it be Democratic or Republican, shall abolish that office. Tbe State has been plundered through its agency, and it is time to wipe it oat of existence.

COMNEXD us to the genuine John Ball for unadulterated and unapproachable coolness. The cable tells as that the English holders of Confederate Cotton Bonds are organizing to present their claims to tbe Commissioner of Arbitration at Washington.

IT Is significant fact that the Congress of tbe Universal Peace League, now in session at Lausanne, Switzerland, has resolved to raise funds to Busts! an American newspaper In Frankfort.

THE old roy£l houses of Europe seem to be in a state of decay. Isabella of Spain, the last Bourbon monarch, is a homeless adventurer. A curse seems to have fallen on the house of Hapsburg which occupied the throne of Germany almost continually from 1273 to the end of that Empire in* 1806. Maximillian sought glory and found a grave in Mexico. His Empress is a raving maniac, and now Francis Joseph, oldest living representative of the house, contemplates abdication ou account of mental incapacity. The difficult problems in European politics prove too much for bis brain. There is a deep settled conviction in England that Victoria will be the last representative of the house of Guelph to occupy the throne of that country, and it is reported that Disraeli has declared that the Queen is physically and morally' "incapactiated IVom reigning anylonger." The Prince of Wales will undoubtedly end the Hanoverian succession if it does not die before bim. The representative of the house of Bonaparte is out of employment at this time, and will probably remain so.

A MEETING of the Woman's Club, of Washington, on Saturday night, to perfect its measures lor the reformation of abandoned women was interrupted by roughs and rounders. It is probable that this great work will have to be abandoned owing to the brutality of vicious men attending the meetings. At the meeting referred to Dr. Weeks made some very extraordinary statistics of prostitution. He said that in New York there is one fallen woman to forty inhabitants in Washington, one to one hundred and twenty in summer, and one to eighty in\ylpt«r iu Pittsburg there is one to evel^r two hundred, and in Philadelphia one to every three hundred. It %vould thus be seen that New York is tbe worst city, and Washington the next.

•THE Express, which ridiculed the MAIL a few weeks ago because it expressed a belief in an existing contest between Capital and Labor, has discovered that such an issue does exist, and our morning cotemporary has become a champion of the labor interest. We are glad to hear of this conversion. The Express may be a little slow in its convictions, but it is nearly sure to come out on tbe right side in the end.

THE government 'printing department at Washington reports that during the past two years some fifty-nine million sheets of official paper has been manufactured, and so careful a record has been kept of what becomes of it all that in some instances pieces as small as tbe half of a ten cent note have been made a special item of account. In contrast with "cat-skin-"ning" in Indiana this is remarkable.
