What the People say about the Children , and what the Children say about Canada . MARIA S . RYE . Printed by James Wade , iS , Tavistock - street , Covcntgarden .
—*——A very interesting little book , and one which is calculated to convey to the mind a clearer conception of the great and good work in which Miss Rye is engaged than a more pretentious volume of mere
description could possibly effect . Letters from the children , relating their experiences in the homes procured for them in Canada through Miss Rye ' s agency , are given verbatim et
literatim , and also communications from the farmers and others with whom the children have been placed . Wc cordially commend Miss Rye ' s pamphlet to all interested in solving the problem of emigration .
Church Sermons , by Eminent Clergymen Published weekly , price id ., and in monthly parts 5 tl ., by REEVES , SUN & Co ., Playhouse-yard , Blackfriars . The object of these publications is to
extend the usefulness of good sermons beyond the limits of the congregation to whom they are addressed . Each number contains two sermons , and those already printed comprise some of the eloquent
utterances of such men as Bishop Wilberforcc , Dean Stanley , and Canon Liddon , It will be acknowledged that Messrs . Reeves , Son and Co ., are supplying a desideratum which has long been felt , and the success of their venture cannot , therefore , be doubtful .

of gentleness and kindness towards them . The profits of'the book will be given to the " Ladies' Educational Branch of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals . "

BY MRS . L . A . CZARNECKI . A nation's heart was throbbing ) A nation's tears were shed , Men trembled for the morrow

FREEMASONRY & ISRAELITISM .
BY BRO . WILLIAM CARPENTER , P . M . & P . Z . 177 . xxiv . The noon of papal dominion , as Hallam calls it , was the thirteenth century . Rome inspired , during this age , all the terror of her ancient name . She was once more the
mistress of the world , and kings were her vassals . The promulgation of the canon law , which was almost entirely founded on the legislative authority of the Pope , tended greatly to secure this dominion . The
superiority of ecclesiastical to temporal power , or at least the absolute independence of the former , was a sort of keynote regulating every part of it . It was expressly declared , among other things , that subjects owe no
allegiance to an excommunicated lord , if , after admonition , he is not reconciled to the church . This was followed by the institution of the mendicant orders , eminently of the Dominicans and the Franciscans , a kind
of regular troops or garrison of the Papacy , who repaid their benefactors by a more than usual obsequiousness and alacrity in their services , and vied with each other in magnifying the papal supremacy . In the
reign of Edward III ., the hierarchy had again so intrenched itself in privileges and immunities , and so far exempted itself from all secular jurisdiction , that no civil penalty could be inflicted on them for any
malversation in office ; and , as even treason itself was declared to be no canonical offence , nor sufficient reason for deprivation or other spiritual censures , they had insured almost total impunity , and were not bound by any
political law or statute . Archbishop Stratford , in a letter to the king , told him that there were two powers by which the world was governed—the Holy Pontifical Apostolic dignity , and the Royal subordinate
authority ; that , of these two powers , the clerical was evidently the supreme , since the priests were to answer at the tribunal of the Divine judgment for the conduct of kings themselves ; that , prelates had
heretofore cited emperors before their tribunal , had sat in judgment on their life and behaviour , and had anathematized them for their offences . Again , these pretensions , and the acts accompanying them , raised the nation
against the church . " The Parliament asserted that the usurpations of the Pope were the cause of all the plagues , injuries ,
famine , and poverty of the realm ; were more destructive to it than all the wars , and were the reason why it contained not a third of the inhabitants and commodities which it
formerly possessed ; that the taxes levied by him exceeded by five times those paid to the king ; that everything was venal in the sinful city of Rome ; and that even the patrons in England had thence learned to
practice simony without shame or remorse . They petitioned the king to employ no churchman in any office of state ; and they even spoke in plain terms of expelling by
force the papal authority , and thereby ' providing a remedy against oppressions which they neither could nor would any longer endure . "
Similar , but more sanguinary , contests were being carried on in Germany , between the civil and the ecclesiastical powers ; the latter claiming , and , as far as they could , exercising their power over crowns and
peoples . In the fourteenth century , Pope John deposed and excommunicated the Emperor Louis , and , afterwards , threw him into prison ; and John ' s successor confirmed all the bulls that had been issued against the Emperor . These and similar acts , how-
