Progress Toward Rome.

Rev. S. H. Tyng, Jr., rector of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the Holy Trinity, charges in a recent editorial note:—

Prayers for the departed are gaining recognition in the Protestant Episcopal Churches of this city. The Church of St. Mary the Virgin advertised, not long since, a special service of prayer for the holy dead. At the door of the Church of the Transfiguration, in Twenty-ninth street, were found, a few Sundays since, circulars, one of which is now before us, containing collects to be said for the departed. . . . This is only another of the signs of the times, showing the drift, in the old Protestant Episcopal Church.
