Ft strives to r©«r the house of God among the earliest buildings of new settlements; it sends its pioneers to the outposts of eirilisation at home, and its missionaries are among the most active aud wecesafW in the work of the church abroad. The bnildlugs of its Yonug Mom's C’hris tian Associati )ns art' on a scale , which we have never so much as ,u contemplated in oar more sober way at home. Individual ootigfogsBiuns will at times undertake the. erection of hospitals for the sick, ou a scale of consideraUle magnitude. Every denomination has its colleges anti theological seminaries iu almost every State of the Union. If a church building is unsuitable in one |mrt of a town, it is sold without hesita tion, and a handsomer building eri-ctcd elsewhere. Among pastors there is much less fixity of tenure, much more readiness to move, than at home. A popular minister in New York to-day 4 will set ont to labor in Sun Francisco to-morrow. A professor of diviuity at Philadel phia will shut his hooks amt away to Chicago, to minister to a new con gregation. But, ou the other^ hand, this remarkable activity and mobility are apt to be carried too far. There is a tendency to overdo. In tin* matter of churches, for example, it is remarked that the very denomina tions that despised architecture a few years ago are now building the most ornate and sumptuous churches. Methodists aud Baptists are getting their churches of white marble, with gilded cornices, frescoed ceilings, stained glass tit for cathedrals, and orgaus that beat the Homan i'ntho lies.

Tlie Spirit that has come so mnch in sndden Pente costal gushes during the earlier life of the nation, may rather drop ns the rain, and distil as tbe dew . when the national spirit becomes more mature and calm.
