It is a massive stone structure, in the form of an ellipse, four stories high, and covering an area of six acres. It is said to have contained "sittings" for one hundred and twenty thousand persons, and we could credit the statement. At its dedication, by Titus, the guide-book tells us, "four thousand wild beast* were slain in the arefla, and the games in honor of the event lasted a hundred days."

Without any purpose to defend or censure the institution of Free Masonry in this connection we cannot refrain from the passing remark that if these Oberlln churches are right in the position they have taken, there are very many leading clergyman and laymen of all Christian de nominations in the country who have lent their countenance and support to an institution which is opposed in principle and practlce.to the religion they profess. It does not become us to decide upon the right or wrong of this question, for it is purely a matter of conscience with thoBe interested ; but one thing is very certain, there is no authority in Divine Itevelstion for shutting the door of the church against the penitent sinner who professes faith in the Saviour of mankind, and who, in all that pertains to Christian doctrine is sound, and consistent, and who asks to be taken within the pale of Christian protection and watchful care. It is assuming a high prerogative lor these two congregation* to sit in judgment »pen the consciences of men, and slam the door of church fellowship in their faces, because they cannot consistently with their sense of duty, denounce an institution to which they belong, and which, in their opinion doe* not interefere with a life of purity and godlines*. It occurs to us that the Judge and Searober of all heart* Should decide these questions, and mete but judgment at the final day.

The former openings to the catacombs, except when they are- guarded, are closed, as it is dangerous for strangers, unless . under the direction of a guide, to attempt to explore them. Our guide told us that some years ago, a company of thirty or forty young men went on an exploring tour through the catacombs, and never returned. We were satisfied to return to the sunlight, when the old monk judged we had seen enough of those dark streets that measure hundreds of miles.

No The future condition ot the heathen who have died without the faith of Christ has long been a question unsatisfactorily answered. The difficulty, however, is at last solved—the mystery fully explained. A booh has recently beea published, entitled, "A Commentary on the Revelations of St. John," written, we believe, by 8. Garratt, M. A., in which he says, damnation is the lot of the heathen. The proof th6 writer gives of this statement is certainly a noveLone. "The heathen who have died," says our \uthor, "come up on the breadth or surface of the earth Itt the close of the millenium, and immediatelyattack the camp of the saints, proving immediately that had they known Christ they would have rejected Him." If this attack should take place, truly it will not be without cause, for no race has ever been more abused than the heathen by the Christian saints.—National (Eng.) Reformer.
