RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.

(By tl c Mail ) An example of how a promoter of carnage in war remembers the Gospel of P^-ace, is seen in the fact that Robert O. Parrot, the ioventor of the Parrot Gun, left a memorial of £20,000 to St. Mary's Church, Coldepring, N.Y. It is asserted by the iJien Pablic that five out of nine members of the now French Republican Ministry are Protestants, viz., Waddington, who ie not only a Protestant, but a zealous and Orthodox Evangelical of the Free Church ; Leon Say and Freyciuet, Admiral Pothau, anJ General Borel. The fact ia a remarkable one, quite unprecedented in French history. In relation to the marriage of Mies Hannah de Rothschild with the Earl of Roseberry, ihe Jewish Times saya : — The subject of intermarriage bag always been a sore one -with the Jews, but, we think, with little reason. The marriages of Jews with Christians are extremely rare, and tbere is not much reason to fear tbeir increase. Judaism, as we believe, has been preserved so long by the will of God that it is not likely to be imperilled now by the marriage of a few individuals with members of other churches. David Rosenberg, of Columbae, Ohio, baß issued a call for a national conven-

tion of all Israelites who are willing to accept Jesus Christ as the promised Messiah of *he world. He wants to unite the converted Jews in America aud aid in restoring Palestine to the Jow p. The International Confederation for promoting the observation of the Christian Sabbath has offered a prize of 2000 francs for the best essay ou the f-vils of Sunday railroad traffic. Tbe work may be in English, French, German, or Italic, and should be sent to the Seoretary of the Confederation at Geneva, Switzerland, by the 10th of December. 1879 Two thousand members have been enrolled by tha Working-men's SundayGlosiug League of Ireland, whose object is to suppose the Sunday liquor trade. The league ia growing with great rapidity. Rev. Canon Beaden, of Southampton, bngland, has received the congratulations of the Queen on attaining his 100 th year. Thera are more lhad 100 Sisters of Charity in Constantinople, having charge of four hospitals, in whiah are 1500 patients.
