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. In other ways there is some

One remarks, too, in American
piety, a less ample mu infestation
than In some other churches of the
spirit of reverence, lu may be that
it is sidy less of tb© form* uf rever

that the )>oliticnl history aud institn

Sion of heat obtained during the
jteriod of exeiteuient could Itecotue a
Steady increase, and permanently
mis© the thermometer, the bean ideal
would be attained. Aud we see no
reason why this' should not take
place iu America; why, as the na
tion becomes older, Its religions life
should not become less spasmodic,
and more steady. 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. Perhaps, also,
less store may come to be set on
4ome of those excitements by which
interest in religious things is sotne-
limes songlit to lie fostered, espeei-
Uy in the case of the young. In
me Sunday-schools, between pic-
musical instruments, flowers
d fountains, oue is tempted to
onder whether th© desire to attract
nd eutertaiu the children does not
into the shade the great ultimate
bject—to convince them of their
and lead them to the Bar ion r.
Another thing that marks the
ligions of a young and busy iratiou
is the absence of that quiet content-
lative tone which is usually the
t of leisure aud the characteristic
old age. The American people
V© had too active and busy a life
cultivate the contemplative vein,
eir religious literature as yet
vrs hardly any such work* as
Hall’s “Contemplations,” or
ervey’a “Meditations Among th©
bs,” or Archbishop Leighton’s
