THE INFLUENZA SPREADING. .


’The influenza is not only firmly established in our midst, but appears to be rapidly spreading.


Tlic dcatlis attributed to it in London lastAveek rose to thirteen, ■which indicates considerable sick­ ness. The malady continues to rage in the West, and has extended to Devonshire, * A • training college at Canterbury has been closed owing to an outbreak amongst the students. Scotland it more affected than England,'and the mortality in Edin­ burgh is excessive. In Perthshire, all the women in some houses arc doAvn with the malady, and


the men have to do tlic domo.stic Avork. Unlike the former visitation, children .ai > attacked, as freely


as adults, In Belfast, several, well-known ministers are amongst the sufferers, Dr. ^riirpliy,.a leading Presbyterian, succumbing after a A'ory brief ill­ ness. Hospitals on the Continent are filled to overflowing, and in France the authorities arc pre­ paring to erect tents for the accomodation of sufferers. Tlic death-rate in Paris last Aveek was 100 in excess of the aA-erago returns, and in Ham­ burg ten per cent of the attacks proA'cJ fatal. ■ The doctors estimate, that, no fewer than 40,000 cases IiaA’o occurred in- Berlin AA-itliin ,a month. German doctors arc advising people to wear warm clothing, to guard against cliills, and under no condition to negloct a cold. A vivid picture of a A-illagc community is gis'en us by Rca', J. Billington, of Redruth. On making a short journey by raihvay he found the Avay-sidc station master Avith IiLs coat collar up, evidently at his post under great difficulties. The Post Office had been clcrklcss until lielp arrived from a distanqe.. At ,a farmhouse the cows, unmilked, wereloAving A

tebrologist in Canada, has made a prediction full of painful interest for all of us. He says that Europe Avill experience another very severe Avinter. Professor Smith also says that tho Atlantic voyages Avill proA'e to bo the roughest on record, and he recommends that all A'cssels sliould take a very southerly course. The bad weather in England and tlie cxtcnsiA'c drought in America are duo, ac­ cording to this prophet, to tlic e.xceptionally south­ ern course taken by the great continental and oceanic Avind areas.

Bridge Chapel by the Revr Chas. WiH ams^ o*! Accrington, entitled “ How John Henry Newma? an.ev-angelmnl protcstaiit, became a Cardinal of


the Roman Cat lolio Church.” Councillor Roh”nson presided, and the chapel was well filled In introducing tho subject, the lecturer .aid ho was struck with tlio curious nsvcholnn-;o:i i . . .


that John Henry Newman was one of tlireS brothm trained m the same home, yet tliev tonV different Avays. John Hcn^y


the. Church of England and R o - i l


Catholic ; of the other two, one became an eminent University professor, and the other was an extreme Nonconformist—a Baptist among the


John Henry Newman formed religious convictfon^ Avhon yoang; as a boy lie Avould scarcely ever enter a dark room Avithout crossing himself. It was this superstition, no doubt, that had a great deal to do Avith his leaving tlie church ; yet in after life he did not turn his back upon his early self. In 18*^' he Avas persuaded by Archbishop Sumner to abandon his own faith and receive the doctrine of baptismal regeneration-that was the beginning of the change. A second cliango took place' Newman was taught that the sacred tovt was never intended to teach a doctrine, but only to proA’C it ; and thus he was led to turn his back upon the Bible, and lie wont to the cimrch as liis guide. In 18S2 lie believed m the doctrine of apostolical succession. His nett step Avas that: he learned to consider antiquity is the true exponent of the doctrines of Christianity and the basis of the Church of England That, said the lecturer, Avould have been all right had he gone back to the first century—the older tiij antiquity the better: but instead of that ho stopped at the second century. In 1S40 he began to despair of the Church of England, and in the following year he lost a true friend, and he ebrid not tell which Avay to turn in his perplexitv. It AvaB in the August of 3845, after ihcA-isitofa priest of the Roman Church, that John Henry NcAvman vanished from the Cimrch of England ;


aud he exclaimed tliat it was like going into an open sea, not knoAving into what port he would land. The rcA'. gentlemen said, AriiatcA’cr Jolm Henry


Neivman might not have been, he certainly was au earnest Christian and true to conscience. * It was a great thing to turn his back upon tlie family


circle, the university, and tho Cimrch; but at tho call of duty he made a sacrifice; and the man who counts all things as loss for Christ's sake, as did NcAvman, should l*e honoured by everybody. It It Avas on his return voyage from Italy, where ho had been to recruit his health, that Newman wrote that beautiful hynm “ Load, Iiindly light.”* It was the cry of one who had for the time forgotten the saying of his Master, “ I am the Light of the AA'orld.’! The leciuror said he was glad when tlioy appointed Newman as Cardinal, for if cA*er a man deserved tliat position it was he—for who Iiad made


sucli'great sacrifices ? ^Yhcn he died, there passed aAvay one of Britain’s most noble sons. Votes of thanks Avcrc then acconled to the


lecturer and chairman, and the meeting terminated.
