RELIGIOUS.

—It is said that the Salvation Army has been ordered to withdraw from Finland.

—A Bible training school has been opened in connection with the normal and industrial training school for colored people at Tuskegee, Ala.

—A miniature copy of the famous mosque of St. Sophia is to be erected for the benefit of such Mohammedans as visit the World's Fair in Chicago.

—The Primitive Catholic says: "A scheme is on foot to build a palace for Satolli at Washington by voluntary contributions. The names of contributors will not be made public, but will be enrolled on a private list which will be used as a guide to the dispensing of future popish favors. This is a grand bait for politicians."

—At a special meeting of the Dublin Synod of the Protestant Church of Ireland, last week, a resolution was unanimously passed condemning the Irish Home Rule Bill. The Protestants in all parts of Ireland seem to look upon home rule as placing the home government in the hands of Rome; yet this is the pet measure of the present government of Protestant England.

—Another antichristian demonstration is reported from the inland city of Changsha, China. Two native converts visited a convert friend, and a reception was given in their honor. Religious services were conducted, Christian books being used. An emissary of the antichristian faction reported the affair, and a day or two later a deputy magistrate had the converts, resident and visiting, bundled into a boat and sent to Hankow. Their books were seized, and they were ordered not to return.
