pointed President of the Episcopal Academy in Cheshire, Conn. Dr. Judd retained in a remarkable degree his physical and mental vigour, and his energy was very little impaired by the burden of years. Within a month of his death he occupied the pulpit.

THE NAME of the Rev. Dudley A. Tyng has to be added to the list of clerical deaths with which the Church has lately been smitten. It seems that he was observing a threshing machine, in his barn, a few miles from Philadelphia, when, somehow, his sleeve got caught in the gearing, so that his right arm was drawn in, and dreadfully lacerated. The arm was afterwards amputated, but the loss of blood at the time of the accident was so great, that he had not strength enough left to carry him through. The Banner of the Cross closes a notice of the sad event with the following just tribute: Mr. Tyng was young, he was a man of high promise, of gentle manners and winning speech in private intercourse, and his mingling in services with other denominations made him very widely known in this city out of our Church. These circumstances, together with the painful incidents of his death, have caused a more general sympathy and grief than we remember to have witnessed here before. In this feeling we deeply participate. We mourn over his departure, over such a hiding from our eyes of youthful gifts and expanding powers."

THE COURSE of the Church Book Society is still onward and upward, its business steadily growing in a sound and healthy manner. During the month of March, the total of sales was $2,822, of cash received for them, $2,025, and of donations, $902; making the whole cash receipts for the month to be $2,928. But the establishment is still in need of help, to work off its old debt moreover, it is appointed to do a work of charity, and must therefore derive from charity the strength to do it.

THE CHURCH ABROAD.

THE ARCHBISHOP OF YORK still refuses to let the Convocation of his Province transact any business whatever, when they assemble. At the last meeting there was a succession of petitions and gravamina, all in the same strain of complaint at being so arbitrarily muzzled by their President. They finally, after summary prorogation, determined to address the Queen directly, to obtain a redress of grievances.

THE CHURCH EDUCATION SOCIETY in Ireland, conducted without any government aid, raises £40,000 a-year, and teaches in its schools some 80,000 children, of whom no less than 15,770 are the children of Romish parents. Of the 2,000 clergy of the Irish Church, there are scarcely 90 who support the "godless colleges " of government.

THE BISHOP of Cape Town is again in England, with a view to effect a division of his diocese by the erection of St. Helena into a separate See, and to press upon the Church the need there is of Missionary Bishops in portions of South Africa still uncared for. He has set forth an appeal "to those who take an interest in the Missions of the Church in South Africa," which supplies some valuable information. That the Zulus and Kafirs are now well provided for by the S. P. G.; and that he has several sons of their Chiefs being educated under his own roof. That he may fairly plead for the Hottentots, who, though the aboriginal owners of the country, have at this day scarce a foot of land which they can call their own. That they stik number some 100,000; and that no Church Society has yet made any special grant towards their conversion. That for the European population, he asks no further aid:

their churches are built; their ministers partly sustained by themselves: the help still given them may soon be diminished, perhaps withdrawn altogether. That, when he left England, £17,000 had been raised, and £2,300 a-year subscribed for five years. That, by means of these funds, 33 clergy and 25 catechists have been maintained in his Diocese during the greater part of the last five years. That, at the close of 1857, the term of the subscriptions expired; and that he is now committed to the support of some 60 fellow labourers at a cost of about £3,200 a-year. That the only aid he has from England towards meeting this, is a grant of £1,800 a-year from the S. P. G. That 12 stations are now waiting for teachers; and that the cost of each, with a teacher on the ground, and a building erected, would not be far from £30 a-year. That in the last few years 38 buildings have been erected, most of them churches, and 24 more, chiefly mission-chapels, are greatly needed. That he has taken out to South Africa more than 100 clergy and catechists, and has paid, out of funds raised by himself in England, the large sum of £5,000 for their passages and journeys. That the amount now needed for churches. chapels, schools, passages, and other expenses, is not less than £5,000; and a further income of £1,500 a-year, to maintain existing missions on their present footing. That the work is each year becoming more and more a pure mission work among the Hottentots and other native races; and that, on an average, the labourers do not each cost the mother Church more than £50 a-year.

THE SYNOD of Tasmania met on Michaelmas Day, September 29th, and Continued in session upwards of a week. The value of lay cooperation was fully brought out, most of the leading men in the Colony, the Chief Justice, the Colonial Secretary, the Speaker of the House of Assembly, &c., being among the representatives. A Dissenting paper speaks thus of the session : "That the laity as well as the clergy are aroused to a sense of the necessity of energy and self-dependence, is the great result achieved by the recent sittings of the Diocesan Synod; and we congratulate them upon the attainment of that result, as being the foundation of future success. . We congratu late the members of the Church of England upon the Christian spirit and marked forbearance manifested by the clergy and lay representatives throughout the conference." The following are among the fundamental articles adopted by the Synod:

1. That this branch of the United Church of England and Ireland in Tasmania doth hold and maintain the doctrine and sacraments of Christ, as the Lord hath commanded in His holy Word, as the United Church of England and Ireland hath received and explained the same in the Book of Common Prayer, in the form and manner of making, ordaining, and consecrating of Bishops, priests, and deacons, and in the Thirty-nine Articles of Religion.

2. That the Diocesan Synod constituted for the government of this branch of the said Church shall hold and maintain the said doctrine and sacraments of Christ, and shall have no power to make any alteration in the authorized version of the Holy Scriptures, or in any of the formularies of the Church: provided that nothing herein contained shall prevent the Synod from accepting any alteration of the formularies and version of the Bible, that may from time to time be adopted by the United Church of England and Ireland.

3. That the Bishop, the clergy, and the laity are three distinct elements of the Synod, whose concurrent assent shall be necessary to all its resolutions: provided that, ordinarily, the votes of the whole Synod shall be taken collectively; but that, on the request of the Bishop, of three clergymen, or of three laymen, the votes of each of the abovenamed orders shall be taken separately.

4. That all inducted or licensed clergymen in the diocese, in the cure of souls, be members of the Synod.

5. That every lay representative be resident in the diocese, and a communicant of the Church, in conformity to the law laid down in the 8th rubric appended to the Office for administering the Holy Communion, provided a reasonable opportunity for so doing has offered itself.

But, however the justice of GOD may be satisfied this way, we find the vengeance of GOD revealed in the Gospel, against sinners. Did not the wrath of GOD want to be appeased, as well as His justice satisfied? And is not the death of CHRIST that which appeases the wrath of GOD, as well as satisfies the justice of GOD?

GOD, I know, has too often been represented by hot-headed zealots of all religions, and, what is very strange, by all sects of the Christian religion, as a wrathful, vindictive Being, ever armed with rage and fury, and ever ready to discharge them with unrelenting vengeance upon the heads of erring mortals. But, certainly, the Bible, properly attended to, will show Him in a much more amiable light. We shall there find His grand characteristic to be love, and gentleness, and long-suffering, even to the greatest sinners. It was His love that gave His Son for the redemption of the world; and the same love gives us everything that we enjoy in this world, and is the foundation of all our hopes with regard to the next world.

The Scriptures make mention of the wrath of GOD in many places, and represent its effects to be very terrible against impenitent sinners. And, beyond all doubt, an evil, wicked life must end in misery unspeakable. But this misery seems
