“Can ye not discern the signs of the times?”

Foreign.

In the British House of Lords, yesterday evening, Lord Cranmore and Browne read the Archbishop’s reply to the Church Association, showing a tendency in the Church of England toward Catholicism, and moved that a committee be appointed to consider what legislation is needed to check the evil.

He supported the motion in a long speech, in the course of which he read passages from the petition of 483 clergymen of the Established Church, asking for the appointment of confessors, and the restoration of other popish practices which the Reformation abolished. He wanted to know by what casuistry English clergymen holding such doctrines retained their positions in the church.

The Archbishop of Canterbury said it was no wonder that public feeling was waking up on this subject. There was good cause for alarm. The power of the Bishops to remedy abuses should be increased.

Horrible Murder and Robbery in Iowa.

On the night of July 21, an express train on the Chicago, Rock Island, and Pacific Railroad was thrown from the track, about sixty miles west of Des Moines, by the removal of a rail. The rail had previously been loosened and a rope fastened to it so that parties out of sight could displace it when the train was too near to stop. The engineer saw it move, and applied the air brake and reversed his engine; but as he was doing this, a number of shots were fired at him. The speed of the train was so far slackened as to prevent the destruction of coaches, but the engine ran off and tipped over, as well as two baggage cars. The engineer was instantly killed.

Six men masked in “Ku Klux style,” ran up to the express car and firing into it drove out the messenger and others, and some proceeded to rob the car while others watched the train, threatening, with horrible curses, to shoot any one that dared to show himself outside. The passengers were thrown from their seats by the sudden stopping of the train, and terribly frightened at the danger of their position. A more desperate and murderous proceeding has never occurred in the country.

An idea of the fearful ravages of cholera may be learned from the following:—

EVANSVILLE, Ind., July 18.—Advices from Mt. Vernon, Indiana, report that the cholera is abating in that place. It has almost depopulated the town. All persons who could get away, have left, and the banks and business houses are all closed, and the town seems without population. Resin, pine tar, and coal, have been burned in the streets, and in every house, disinfectants have been placed. People who cannot leave are removing to the healthiest parts of the city. Families are living in ware houses, etc. Every person in the place has had the cholera, and of some large families, only two members are left. There seems to be no apparent cause for the ravages of the epidemic.

The Chicago Journal (evening), of July 26, brings accounts of heavy fires in Portland, Baltimore, and Norfolk, Va., the latter burning at last advices. Smaller fires are “too numerous to mention,” of the fire in Baltimore, a dispatch says: “The fire in several portions of the burned district swept rapidly through the roofs and left the lower portions of whole rows scarcely damaged. This seemed to be caused by the large number of shingle roofs which are so exceedingly dry as to burn like grass. In this way, the fire actually crossed over streets in which the engines continued to work, and left a portion of the fire brigade working in the center of the burning block.”

Special Notice.

By General Conference Committee

ALL drafts or money orders sent to the REVIEW AND HERALD Office, on business with the Publishing Association, or for remittances on Review, Reformer, and Instructor, or for books, or other business, should be made payable to the order of James White. This statement is made because many drafts, &c., are sent in to different individuals, all designed for the Office. As Bro. White is President of the Publishing Association, these should be sent to his order. In his absence, arrangements are made so that there is no difficulty on that account. Let all sending in money bear this in mind. GEN. CONF. COM.

New England Camp-Meeting.

By H. B. Stratton; Jab'z C. Tucker; Samuel Martin

This meeting will be held on the camp ground near South Lancaster, Aug. 21-26. It will close Aug. 26. We entreat all who propose to attend, that they come on Wednesday, Aug. 20, in season to complete their preparation on that day. Much is lost by not being on the ground at the commencement of the meeting.

All trains on the Worcester and Nashua R. R. will stop at our camp ground, except the morning express going north, which stops at Clinton, only one-half mile from the depot. Those coming from the north, through Fitchburg, will take the Boston, Clinton, and Fitchburg R. R. to Clinton. The same reduction of fare as that of last year may be expected. Trains each way, morning, noon, and night. Those coming from the south and west will take the express at Worcester Junction at A. M.; and the accommodation, which will stop at the camp ground at 11 A. M. and 3½ P. M. All baggage over the W. and N. R. R. should be marked South Lancaster camp ground, else it will be put off at the station one-half mile distant. Those who wish board can be accommodated on the ground. All should bring straw ticks and blankets to make themselves comfortable. Straw can be had upon the ground. Do not come upon the ground too thinly clad.

Let all who purpose to attend, prepare their hearts now to seek God, and let us have a general attendance. Eld. George I. Butler and others are expected to be present as preachers of the word.

Camp-Meeting Tents.

Questions about tents we referred to Bro. E. G. Rust (270 Sedgwick St.), Chicago. He sends us the following price list from Geo. E. Foster:—

	8 oz.	10 oz.	12 oz.
12x12,	$27.26	$29.48	$32.79
14x14,	36.91	38.72	41.62
14x16,	39.88	43.12	46.35
12x18,	39.88	43.12	46.35
16x18,	50.87	55.00	59.12
16x22,	61.86	66.88	71.89
18x24,	74.88	80.96	87.03

The 10 oz. is considered most suitable. The first four sizes are four feet-wall; the next two, five; the last one, six.

Bro. Rust can obtain a commission on those which may be ordered through him, which he offers to give to the brethren ordering.

Answers to Correspondents.

“1. The question has been asked me, Has the Saviour two bodies? if one was born of the seed of David, what became of the one Joshua saw? Josh. 5:13.”

The Scriptures, speaking of the pre-existent Word, say he “was made flesh.” How this change in the manner of his existence took place is beyond our comprehension. The “mystery of godliness” is a mystery still, in some respects; we can no more fathom such questions than we can comprehend the self-existence of God, or the infinity of space.

A. McW.

“2. Is the taking of photographs a violation of the second commandment.”

Not necessarily. The commandment forbids the making of a likeness of any thing as an object of worship. But Moses was commanded to make images of cherubim, in making the sanctuary. It is no more a violation of the precept to make the picture of a man than it is to make the picture of a horse, unless there is an impious motive in it. It is possible to make an idol of anything we possess. No doubt much money is squandered uselessly in the multiplication of pictures.

Bismark and Christianity.

By J. H. W.

A foolish story is going the rounds of the papers to the intent that Bismark told a newspaper reporter, who “interviewed” him, that the recent movements in Prussia were not directed specially against the Catholic church, but against Christianity; that it was his intention to root out all ideas of Christianity, and to lead the people to acknowledge no allegiance except to the empire; and that neither the emperor nor the prince were aware of his designs.

We call this a foolish story, so foolish that we wonder that it is so extensively published, and more that some seem to credit it. Bismark would scarcely talk over to a newspaper reporter, matters of State policy which he had concealed from the prince and the emperor; and it is exactly what the Catholic church would like to have the world believe. The days of “pious frauds” have not passed away.

J. H. W.

Proposed Discussion and Eld. Whitmore's Position

Some have got a wrong idea of the notice headed “Proposed Discussion,” which we published last week. Eld. Whitmore is not a believer in time-setting, and he only takes up a challenge which the timists said no one “dare” accept.

New-York Camp-Meeting.

This meeting will be held on the old camp ground at Kirkville, Aug. 7–11.

Trains on the N. Y. Central Railroad going east, that stop at Kirkville, leave Syracuse at 7 A. M., 2.05 and 5 P. M. Trains going west stop at Kirkville, 10.15 A. M., 12.45 and 8.55 P. M. Those coming over the Rome, Watertown, and Ogdensburg, and the Syracuse Northern, Railroads, will receive free return passes.

Teams to convey passengers to the ground will meet all trains. Tents can be rented as usual. Let all who can, provide tents for themselves and their friends; but none need hesitate to come who are unable to do so, as arrangements will be made for the accommodation of such.

Provisions and straw will be furnished on the ground as heretofore. It is hoped that an earnest effort will be made by the brethren in all parts of the Conference, that there may be a full attendance at this meeting.

CAMP-MEETING COMMITTEE.

N. Y. & Pa. Conference.

The N. Y. and Pa. Conference will hold its next annual session in connection with the camp-meeting at Kirkville, commencing Wednesday, Aug. 6, 1873. Delegates should be on the ground as early as Tuesday. The Conference is appointed one day in advance of the camp-meeting, in order to get its business out of the way of the religious services of the meeting as much as possible, the time appointed for that purpose being unusually brief. Let all the churches and scattered brethren be well represented, as the present indications are that this will be the most important meeting of the kind ever held in this Conference.

P. Z. Kinne, E. B. Gaskill, B. L. Whitney, Conf. Com.
