Tcnteeost Explains.—Tho con duct of Dr, Pentecost in admitting to communion Mias Smiley, aud some others; one of whom was not a church member, has provoked much bitter feeling' and! some stinging criticisms. The Examiner and Chron ider and oue of its corresjmndents, have been especially zealous iu cudgeling the wayward minister for bis unseemly innovation upon Bap tist usages. Ia self defense, Dr. Pen tecost has written a letter to the Ex aminer and Chronicler, from which we understand that late in the after noon of the day ou the ^yeuiug of which Miss Smiley was baptized, a request came to Dr. Pentecost, from a member of his church, who was on his death-bed, that be would come that evening aud administer to him the sacrament. It naturally occurred to him that Miss Smiley might feel it a privilege to join in this sacrament also on the day of her baptism ; and be made the, proposal to her, which was joyfully accepted. After the services at the church, Dr. Pentecost, with Miss Smiley, Mr. Hillist, the “Friend,” who was baptized ou the same evening, ami Mr. Robert Smith, of Philadelphia, another bap tized Quaker, who had joined the Presbyterians, went to the house of the sick^nan, and found with him .only his wife and his brother-in-law with hig wife. Dr. Pentecost, con tinues as follows: ! After making a few remarks, such as I thought suitable to the occasion, opon the nature of the Lord’s Supper and the blessed privilege of it, I broke the bread, “diving thanks.” As I was about to pass the elements, the brother-in-law and his wife made a motion to retire; When I said to them, as nearly as I can remember: “Are you not going to remain with us and join in this ordinance?” He replied: “We arc not Baptist#.” “Bat are you not Christians ? ^Do you not discern the lord’s body yn ^•s ordinance? I>o you not rely slonc upon the blood of Jesus for salvation T “Oh, yes,” he replied, “we are Christians, and are members ^ the Methodist cliurcb.” “Very well,” i remarked, “iif you discern the Lord’s body, you are at liberty t° partake.” Wheretijpon he express ed his great pleasure, and he and his , wire drew near. Just then the wife °t the Rick man in tears pleaded that she also might partake, telling us that during her husband’s illness she had been brought to a knowledge of solvation, through Christ, though she had had no opportunity of making a public profession of faith U baptism; and then aud there declaring her faith in the Lord - esu» Christ, she also partook of ® elements with the rest of ns. thus wqs this strange _eommn- °? Ce lebrated in that dying-room ; in oue sense; u there were present and participating two Baptists (in. idiag wyeMf,) two Methodists, one Presbyterian, formerly' a Friend, the two recently baptized Friends, and the unbaptized but believiug wife,of the dying man, who is uow with hit Lord in glory. But, if it was a “mixed ootnmuuion” iu the sense just stated, 4 was oue of mixed love, attdfcfellowship oue with nuother and with the Lord Jesus Christ, aud I doubt not with God the Father and God the Holy Ghost; for, though all had not received the baptism of water, wo wore, I truly believe, by oue Spirit baptized into one body, whether we were “Baptists, Presby terians, Methodists or Quakers, aud had beeu all made to drink into oue Spirit.”—1. Oor. xii: \3. I need not say that this occasion was not ar ranged or songht out by ine or any one else to supplement Miss Smiley’s baptism. It was, to my miud, of the Lord’s ordering from beginning to end; and I should have as soon thought of steadying the ark of God as to have meddled with any of the details of that commnniou season. rr-The Interior. Communion of Saints.—The Bap tist Union, of this city, says that “hundreds of Baptist churches be longing to the close commuuiou body are practising open communion ; hun dreds of pastors give no invitation to the Sapper, because they can not conscientiously give the old sectarian one; aud several are openly invitiug all Christians to the Lord's table. Scores of the ablest and best Bap-, tist ministers in the laud, have fully resolved to do justice to those Baptist churches which have beeu so long proscribed, aud to reooguize the 154, 000 open communion Baptists, as truly and regularly Baptists.” These are encouraging tokens of the progress of the true Church of Christ, that which recognizes as oue with Him aud so with one another all who are the followers of the great We see the same spirit of pro toward unity in the movemeut we have signalized in the leadiug editorial article on this page, the interchange of pulpits between the clergy of the church of England and those who are called Dissenters. The two grand hindrances to practical unity ore tife jmsitious held re*i>ec- tively by Episcopalians ami Baptists oh the qtiestians of ordination and communion. A inoditt&vtioii of those views is not to be reached by denun ciation or ridicule. They who hold, rigid views regarding them are just as conscientious as those who opi*ose them, and we who advocate tolerance and charity and onion, should be carefnl not to fail in the very thing whereof we complain. Bnt we will rejoice in snch facts as come to ns from England, and in these cheering statements of the Baptist paper.— X. X. Ohserx er. Rev. Dr. Blagdeu, the venerable and excellent senior pastor of the Old South church, Boston, having resigned liis charge, the congrega tion have voted him a retiring an nuity of $3,000. I)r.

Stingy.—It is reported that oue presbytery in Ohio, with nearly two thousand members, gave last year less than two hundred dollars to home missions, while another pres bytery in Indiana, with over two thousand members, gave less than three hundred dollars, not fifteen cents apiece. Abominations o/ x the Confessional.— At the Assize Cdurt of Versailles the Abbe Hue, the Cure of Limes, a parish iu the Seine and Oise, was tried on the prosecution of the rela tives of four yonug ladies who had been sent to him to obtain certifi cates for tbeir first coinmuniou, for nupriestly conduct toward them in tbe confessional box. This conduct was of such a nature that tb£ presi dent turned the public onfc of court while the evidence was being given. The Cure was found guilty and sen tenced to the crushing punishment of tftn years’ imprisonment with hard labor. *It should be stated that he justified his proceedings, which will not hear description by the precepts of a book, sanctioned by the Roman Catholic Church, called the “Science of Confession.”—X. T. Observer. Ike Way to Build a Church.—At Bryan, Texas, a little over a year ago, the congregation had no house of worship. The people felt the need of one, and rose np to build. Money and labor was required. Some gave both money and labor. One mau, though not rich, except in good works, nor yet poor, gave a hundred days’ labor with his own hands, and another seventy-five, and yet an other, although he hail not two hands to work with, yet with the single luyyl and the single eye which Provi >ce had preserved to him, he >ld wait on and encourage the workmen with his daily preseuoe. Surely such a people eau not (hit of The house, though incom plete, 1 accommodates comfortably the congregation and Sabbath-school. Rev. J. M. Cochran is temporarily supplying the church with accep tance and snccess twice a month. Miscellaneous. Emil Rothe, of Cincinnati, calls attention to the fact that uuder ex isting laws the most ignorant aud depraved of the uogroes are, iu a political sense, the superiors of tho representatives of German nationali ty, their statesmen, their professors, their soldiers, their men eminent in the arts aud sciences, all citizens fer verutiy ^ true and patriotio to the country*of their adoptiou.

Lee, the Learned Carpenter Sam uel Lee, Professor of Hebrew at the University of Cambridge, England, was seventeen years of age before lie conceived the idea of learning a foreign lougaage. Out of the soauty pittance of his weekly earuiugs os a carpenter, he purchased a book, aud when this was read, he exchanged it for nuother, and thus he advanoed in kuowledge.

Daring the six years previous to his twenty-fifth year, he omitted oue of the hoare usually appropriated to manual labor, and he retired to rest, regularly at ten o’clock in the evening, aud yet at the age of twenty-one years he bad actually learned seventeen languages.

Rev. I)r. John Hail thinks that in chnrch it is hard to escape the ap pearance of unreality if there is no congregational singing. The minis ter reads Wesley’s hymn: “O for a thousand tongues to sing My great Redeemer’s praise t” and there are a thousand tongues just there in the {tews, but not one of them sings. Fonr persons else where take np the words and divide them according to musical etiquette. Or he calls, with good Dr Watts, for a “shout of sacred joy,” but there i* no “shout” and no song of joy. “Let those refuse to sing Who never knew tbe Lord.” reads the minister; and “all below” do refuse, while those “above” who sing do not by look, manner or bear ing, appear to be specially, described in tbo words. Surely all this must strike one not used to it as unreal, the opposite of worship, which, if auything, is real. The great preacher, Chaluicp», was once during his sermon annexed by some dogs iu the church.
