another as the snow gather together so are our habits formed no single flakes that is added to the pile produces a sensible change no single action cre ates however it may exhibit a man's character but as the tempest hurls the avalanche down the mountain and over whelms the inhabitant and his habitation so passion acting upon the element of mischief which pernicious habits bave brought together by imperceptible accu mulation may overthrow tbe edifice of uuib aud virtue a singular confession an ex preacjier proclaims himself an infidel and wants to be prayed for from the chicago inter-ocean in view of tbe approaching religious revival in connection with mr moody's meetings i wish to make a request of tbe christain people who may atteud ihem it is that they will pray for me for several years i was the pastor of one of the largest churches in the city and professed and preached the christian reli gion to all appearances i comforted and confirmed multitudes of christians and brought hundreds of uubelievers into the fold of christ but about six months ago uot from impulse but after mature and painful deliberation i abandoned the pulpit and publicly renounced my belief iu tbe christian religion even to me wbo no longer believed in a hereafter this seemed to be a very solemn step and to the church over which i so long pre sided as pastor so many of whom i had led down into the waters of baptism and to whom i had so often administered lhe sacrament it seemb to me that this event should have appeared nothing less than shocking and awful and yet it is a sin gular fact tbat tliere has never been a prayer offered iu the union park now the fourth baptist nay iu any other church in this city for my recovery from infidelity ou the other hand the boston baptist paper the watchman expressed the liveliest satisfaction that i had adjur ed the christian faith and was going to bell i have no idea therefore that i can secure au interest in the prayers of the baptist but i ask lo be remembered in the prayers of the christians at large who may attend mr moody's meetings i make this request because for several months past i have felt that there was after all a great truth somewhere in the orthrodox chritian religion though as yet i cannot define nor comprehend it but my present view of christianity ex erts no iufluence over my lieart or life and if i should die iu my present state of mind i should if the new testament is true sink into an endless hell i have also as an incidental motive the desire to receive a demonstration of the truth of religion by experiencing this highly im probable change in answer to prayer i make this request in this public manner because i am a public character and my case is of special importance to the cause of religion my defection has shaken the faith of many to my knowledge and a multitude all over the country whom i h-->e never seen nor received letters from mnai have been more or less affected by it i might suggest more particularly what i wish prayed for 1 would request that prayers be offered that i might recover my faith in the christian character that is that i might become convinced that the belief and subjective experience of the christian religion make men in the long run more truthful more honest more just more merciful more loving more forgiving than other people for i must confess that an experience of sixteen years in the christian pastorate has well nigh couviuced me that christianity simply in tensifies human nature so that while chris tiaus love their friends more than other people do and when once displeased are the most cruel and unscrupulous class of tbe community f lo it e x c e mcc a e i iiv chicago september 25 -<__>. the british post office o the london standard says : the postmaster general has just issued his annual report showing the work done in 167 by this it appears that in the course ofthe year more than a thousand millions of letters passed through the post office being at the rate of thirty-one for every man woman and child in the uuiled kingdom iu addition there were more than eighty**seven millions of post cards and nearly two hundred and eighty millions of book packets and newspapers compared with 1874 letters show an in crease exceeding four per cent post cards uearly eleven per cent aud book packets and the newspapers eight per cent the figures vary considerably for the three parts of the kingdom thus england sends thirty five letters per head while ireland sends only thirteen and scotland twenty-six tbe increase of letters in england compared with the previous year is more than five per cent of post cards between eleven and twelve per cent and of book pockets and newspapers nearly ten per cent the number of reg it red letters iu the united kingdom dur ing the year was about one in 231 of the whole number of letters the number of letters received in the returned letter office was very nearly in the same pro portion being about one in 232 but it was found possible either to return to the writers or to re-issue nearly nine-tenths ofthe whole number thus leceived every year the post office report reveals a varie ty of strange freaks perpetrated by a por tion of tbe public and it does not appear that this erratic dement is on the decline last year upward of twenty-five thous aud letters were posted without any ad dress of which number 46 l contained in the aggregate nearly five hundn d pounds in cash and bank notes and 0,000 in checks nearly sixty five thousaud pos tage stamps were found loose iu the diff erent post offices which were probably originally attached to letters and pockets dropped into the boxes but failed lo ad here whisky is not a tonic it is probably an alterative for it alters dollars

of rome were consigned to the tender mr-rcies of the inquisition is going on we have no fear of its be ing restored ; it is too late in the day for that ; but the ultramontane are making every effort to extinguish protestantism by stretching the clauses in the consti tution and laws that favors romanism add restricting to the lowebt degree all that protect protestants americans and english are now begiuning to suffer as well as saniaids tbe foreign residents speaking english had a chapel fitted up at madrid which though not officially attached to any legation was maintained in the absence of a regular chaplaiucy by english and american residents or visitors in madrid at the head of the subscription list are the names of her brit ish majesty's minister and the members of the legation with

the rev mr jamieson of the free church of scollaud who act ed as haplain wished to give notice that the services would be resumed hereto fore all such notices had been sent to tho press and no difficulty whatever had been met willi in getting them inserted as or dinary advertisements when the clergy man applied to the semi official curves pondencia de espana to publish a notice to the effect that divine service would be held at the chapel on the next sabbath the manager of the paper declined to do so and declared that he could not assume the responsibility of anything connected protestants doctrines tho same appli cation was made to ihe liberal paper the imparciul which has taking a leading part in defence of religious toloration and a polite refusal was also given by the editors the consequence was that very few residents and only part of the visitors in the hotels could be notified of the res opening of the church the native protestants are under the closest restriction in regard to their ser vices they are not allowed to have auy notice on the outside of their places of worship noi even to have the door op en lest some passer-by should be attract ed by the singing and induced to enter this is the religious liberty which roman catholics believe in and the only kind that they allow where they have the lower nay they would not allow christians to assemble for worship even iu the most private manner if they could help it they are doing all that they can to suppress and destroy protestant ism in spain root and branch even in the face of the new constitution and yet roman gatholics in the united states of america profess to be the friends of civil aud religious liberty one would think from their professions they were the only friends of liberty but look at their history where they have had the power look at the limited regions where they have sway now aud their true priucip'es will bo apparent to any but the wilfully bliud — new york
