Church Status.
Political Dissenters at Homo perceive (hat unless tlio'Cliurch can bo deprived of her revenues and status • soon it will be impossible over to effect that operation, so rapidly is she re* covering the ground lost during the ' last century and regaining the attachment of the masses. This fact is opportunely illustrated by cerfyAtary striking facts which the Eishojtgf Llandaff stated at his Thursday. The Bishop showed that the number of confirmations through-' out the diocese has nearly doubled itself during the last eight years, that moro than half of the candidates presenting themselves, for the 'hie had previously been Non-comfirmi'sts, and that since his last visitation ro fewer than 800 adult baptisms Lave be^
.ratified to him, this Inst fact clearly pointing tlio same moral. The President of tlio Yorkshire Association of ' Baptist Chuiolioa has doubtless reason for his plaint that the clergy of tlio Church aro " torribly in earnest" about thoir work nowadays.
