The Best Thing a Minister Can Do Is to Get the People Absorbed in Christian Missions ~Charge Them With Missionary Dynamic. Before an audience of fifteen hundred mini- sters and church officers of Boston and vicin- ity. in attendance at the Laymen's Missionary Movement Convention, Rev. Dr. James Vance, of Newark, N.J.,, delivered an address upon the topic: The Minister the Key to the Situation. "What is the best thing a minister can do for his people--the very best? Without any reservation I would say: 'Let him get them absotbed with Christian missions. Let him charge them with the missionary dynamic.' There is nothing like it. It is the panacea for ecclesiastical ills. It will work a trans- formation in any congregation. Try it, and you will see the sleepy 'wake up, and the stingy loosen up, and the sour sweeten up. The cure for a sick church is to get it on a mis- sionary diet. 'The minister satisfied with the spiritual condition of his church is likely to be 'a minister satisfied' with vefy little. His appetite is small. 1 am not speaking of all churches, but 1 am speaking of some, and the number is too large; they are a dead weight on the soul 6f the man who tries to minister to them. The trouble is not that these church- es are bad, that there are no devout people there, that the members do .ngt love Christ and do not want to go te heaven when the) die; the trouble is that they have been side tracked on some minor issue, shunted intc some blind alley, and/the pity is that frequent- ly it is the pastor who himself has dug his own grave. "Let the minister get his church interested in missions. The church may not like the change. It may prefer to remain undisturbed. But what of that? Did you ever know a man sound asleep who liked to be wukened? It may regard you as fanatical, but that is not necessarily fatal. Better be a fanatic than a corpse. The enterprise of missions is God's plan for the church. It is the most enchanting vision that ever dazzled the brain of man, and the Christian who can come undcr its spell and not be thrilled, not have some spark oi heroism flaring into 'flame within Lim, is only dead freight, The preacher cun m: ke his pul- He can yield it, on occasions, to returned mis: sionaries. They may not always be as elo- quent as the regular occupant, but they come straight {rom the firing line, wearing a worn uniform, blood stained, gunshot and sabre scarred. Words are always cheap when the message is man: Let us give our sermons the missionary outlook. Then we shall be on edge because next Sunday we must say some- thing, for we shall always have something to say. We can make our pastoral work a par of our missionary propaganda. 'This would transform it from a downright sham into a thing of power. 4 "The pastor can help farward the mission ary movement by seeing that the missionary collections are placed on a business basis and not left to the accident of weather on the day assigned 'to the catise or made to depend on 'the moving appeal' of some advccate. Let the mission funds get as. good treatment a: the funds for congregational use. It is pos sible the pastor might find, by diligent effort individuals in 'his congregation who personally undertake 'the support of one or more missionaries." We are eugaged in a glorious campaign, and it should Have our best, and we are sure to win, for God is not going to quit until He has things His way." Still An Age of Heroism. In connection with the dreadful earthquake in Southern Italy stories are told of sacrifices and acts of heroism. A Russian sailor, on learning that a number of women and childrey were imprisoned in the third story of a wreck ed house, climbed the wall with great daring, and rescued the people. No sooner were they in the street than the wall collapsed, burying rescued and rescuer in one grave. \ company of soldiers were working desperately to releasc | some unfortunates' pinned down under heavy timbers, when an adjoining brick wall col- lapsed, killing the workers and ending the agony of those they were trying to rescue Of two regiments, stationed at Messina, only ten men survive, Of another nature was the experience of the Marquis of Semmola, who was buried alive in the ruins, but in response to shouts replied: "Save others! Don't think of me. 1 am in a bar and have all 1 want tc eat and drink." William Maxwell, the English war correspondent, declares that the Chinese city of Port Arthur, after bombardment by sea and land, was not half so ruinous as Messina. "Six months cannonade by all the artillery in tlie world would not produce the results of ten seconds of Nature's riot." We are told that the spectacle; when witnessed by the commander of the British steamer Ebro, was so horrifying that his hair turned white under the great shock. An Honored British Hero. The centenary of one of Scotland's greatest military sons was celebrated in January. Sir John Moore, a native of Glasgow, was killed at the Battle of Corunna. "His masterly re- treat in the dead of winter through the moun- tainous dcfiles of Portugal, before an over- whelming French force under Marshall Sault is one of the great events in the Peninsular war. But on reaching the shore, he turned at bay and repulsed his pursuers with great loss, at the sacrifice of his owm life, creating one of the most pathetic episodes in Dritish mili- tary annals: "Not a drum was heard, not a funeral note, As his corpse to the ramparts we hurried, Not a soldier discharged his farewell shot O'er the grave where our hero was buried." Wreaths were placed on Moore's monu- ments in St. Paul's Cathedral, London, and in Glasgow. The Spanish Ambassador wrote: "The same celebration took place in Spain, especially in La Carunna, where Sir John Moore is buried, and where his monument, kept with great reverence and pride, is con- stantly visited by Britishers and Spaniards." Lord send me sleep. that I may live; The wrongs I've done this day forgive; Bless every deed and thought and word I've rightly done, or said, or heard. Bless relatives and friends always; Teach all the world to watch and pray. My thanks for all my blessings take And hear my prayer for Jesus' sake. Amen woulg |. EASTERN FAITH SET 5 | e-- } " A Question of Interest to Islam, . to the ' World. I Review of Reviews. % The political activity of Young Turkey has liberated Abbas Effendi, the Master of Acca, for fifty-six years prisoner, exile, the great ex- ponent of the "Bahai Revelation." The con- stitution promulgated by the Sultan proclaims liberty, justice, equality, fraternity, religious tolerance. , Does this proclamation embrace the Bahai movement? lt is a question of in- terest to Islam, to the world. Islam has fought the movement, has resisted purgation, for more than sixty years, since May 23, 1844, the day Mirza Ali Muhammad, a youig Per- sian, declared himself the "Gate," or "Bab," the herald of "The Mighty One to Come." Recession from the hostile positior is a trem- endous step towards the realiza 'on' of the world peace, the world religion. © ror this is the motif of the Bahai movement. The move- ment is a prodigious, an irresistible fact. Al- ready has it attained world-far dimensions. It numbers its adherents by the millions, from every religion and creed and class. Persia, where public propagandism is pro- hibited, is percolated with it. "I do not say," said a recent traveller, "that all Persian Bahais are progressive men and optimists, but that all progressive men and optimists whom I met n Persia were Bahais." In India the barriers »f caste disintegrate before the Bahai Revela- jon. Calcutta has a considerable Bahai As- sembly. There are Bahais in Bombay, Zoroas- rian and Muhammedan converts, once credal nemies, now brothers of the same faith. -In Rangoon the Bahai movement has unified the followers of six religions,--Buddists, Muham- medans, Hindus, Christians, Jews, Zoroas- trians. Mandalay has several hundred Bahais, for the most, native Burmans, Entire Hebrew communities of the Orient have become Bahai communities. In Russia the Bahai movement has taken enduring hold. Bahai Assemblies are established in Teleran, Cairo, Loudon, Paris, Berlin, Stuttgart. The movement invaded America in 1893, and Bahais are found in Canada, and in almost «every state of the Union. There are Bahai assemblies in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, Oakland, Montreal. So far has the movement advanced that Bahai teachers have gone out from America to Europe, India, Per- 31a. The Lil' Brack Sheep. During one of his London song services Evangelist Alexander said that he had heard a darkey version of the famous song, "The Ninety and Nine," which had brought a bless- ing to many, and which he and his wife had printed on a little card, 2nd sent to friends, His wife, by request, then recited the poem to, the audience in a clear, soft voice: Po' lil' sheep dat strayed away Done los' in de win' an' de rain-- And de Shepherd he say, 'O hirlin', Go fin' my sheep again. An' de hirlin' say, 'O Shepherd, Dat sheep am brack an' bad' But de Shepherd he smule, like dat lil' brack sheep Wus de ontiest lamb he had. An' he say, 'O hirlin', hasten, For de win' an' de rain am col', An' dat lil' brack sheep am lonesome Out dere, so far fum de fol' But de hirlin' 'frown, 'OQ Shepherd, Dat sheep am ol' an' grey!" But the Shepherd he smile, like dat hl' brack sheep Wus fair as de break ob day. An' he say, 'O hirlin', hasten! Lo! here's is de ninety an' nine; But dere, way off fum de sheepfol', Is dat lif brack sheep ob mine!" An' de hirlin' frown: 'O Shepherd, De res' ob de sheep am here! But the- Shepherd he smile, like that li' brack sheep He hol' it de mostes' dear.

An' de hirlin' frown: "O Shepherd, Don't bring dat sheep to me! But the Shepherd he smile, an" he hol' it close, An'--dat lil' brack sheep--wus--me! Force of Self-Leading. There is a character in one of George Mac- donald's novels, a man of culture and refin- ment, who had forfeited his bright prospects »f promotion in a college library because he irank. Arguments and entreaties were useless; at last his friends left him to himself. «Then a student won his confidence, and became a daily companion. The drunkard was proud of the student, for whom there was promise of a brilliant career. One day, however, the young man began to drink." The friend entreated him to break the habit Le was forming, and pointed to himself as a warning of the results of continued indulgence. But his words had no effect, till he proposed that he would never drink again if .the student would make the same promise. So, side by side, the old man and the young man fought their battle and won. The student took the place in life for which he was fitted; and the old man became almost young again, and was given a place of responsibility in the library. What he could not be persuaded to do {or his own sake he nad done for the sake of a friend; and the re- ward came in his own life. In sel-forgetful- ness lies one secret of sclf-mastery, as well as of achievement. The House of Never. The House of Never is built, they say, Just over the hills of the By-and-by, [ts gates are reached by a devious way, Hidden from all "but an angel's eye. It winds about and 'in and out, The hills and dales to sever; Once over the hills of By-and-by And you're lost in the House of Never. The House of Never is filled with waits, With "just-in-a-minutes" and "pretty-soons," The noise of their wings as they beat the gates Comes back to earth in the afternoons, When shadows fly across the sky And rushes quaintly endeavor To question the hills of the By-and-by As they ask for the House of Never. | The House of Never was built with tears, And lost in the hills of the Byrand-by Are a million hopes and a million fears-- A baby's smiles and a woman's cry, The winding way seems bright to-day, Then darkness falls for ever, For over the hills of By-and-by Sorrow wails in the louse of Neyer WESTWARD. ; { connected To Save Man From Hanging--Memorable Incident of Life in Western Ontario. John Ryerson, a noted U.E. Loyalist, in whose memory there exists a brass tablet in the cathedral church of St. James in Toronto. The forgner was one of three brothers, all Methodist ministers, while there was a fourth brother, George, a minister of the Catholic Apostolic Church. The Rev. John was a mis- sionary to the Indians in the west, and on one occasion made a journey to England from Fort William, then simply a Hudson's Bay Co.'s post, across the continent to the Hud- son's Bay 'itself, thence by a whaler to Eng- land. - That memorable circumstance occurred about 1830. Mr. Ryerson died in Brantiord, in This story is concerned with Robert Carr, a. Canadian, for whose respite from hanging Mr. Ryerson prayed against time. He was about 1834 arrested along with a man named Smith, both quiet reputable persous, for steal- ing an ox in a township near Toronto. The village close at hand was thrown into great excitement by the crime, the penalty being death at that time. A diligent search resulted in the discovery of the hide, and suspicion fell upon Carr, who was known te be poor, and in whose house the odor of cooked meat still hung. The village Dogberry and shallow dignitaries, next to deities then, extorted a confession of guilt from Carr and Smith. The éulprits were brought to trial, and a jury © twelve. fellow-men found no difficulty in co - signing both to the scaffold after the learneu judge had expatiated upon the enormity of the crime, | Among those horrified at execution were Rev. John Ryerson, spiritual advisor of the poor fellows,| and Dr. John Rolph, whose memory still clings to the vill age. The Doctor was more excited than any other of Smith and Carr's sympathizers. He determined to ride to Toronty and intercede with the Governor, Sit John (Colborne. Be- fore starting he was closeted with Mr. Ryer- son. The latter subsequently told that he had agreed to delay the hanging all he could by making the closing prayer as long as his strength and power would permit, provided that Rolph had not returned. Good Dr. Rolph had calculated on getting back a few hours be- fore the time set for execution. He set out on the swifteést horse to be had in the village, but the people had little faith in his ability to make the journey, and still less faith in the Governor's inclination to interfere. The days flew on, and the people flocked in from the surrounding country. The fatal morn came, but without any tid- ings of Dr. Rolph, and the men were led out to die. Private hangings were not Th fashion then. It was considered good and wholesome for the common people to witness the awful and just punishment of the horse, cattle and sheep stealer. The gallows were erected out in thé open. It was none of your patent, lat- est' style instruments of death, no sandbag scientific test to assure the quickest death possible. It was a rude structure upon which the village carpenter may not have expended more than two hours' labor. Smith and Carr were placed in position; and the sheriff was informed that all was ready for the parson's final blessing or prayer. Rev. John got down on his knees and began the longest and most remarkable prayer on record. - His voice was low purposely, for he wished to husband his vocal strength. He prayed for twenty minutes without creating témark, for long prayers were not so distaste- ful then as now: But when he entered upon the second half hour, great restlessness: was manifest. The sun poured down on the un- "covered heads, and many did not hestitate to say aloud that they were getting too much of a good thing. The sheriff was impatient and the hangman looked weary. The proceeding made him tired; even the poor wretches await- ing death showed signs of annoyance, for the parson had not told them of his compact with Dr. Rolph. The murmur arose higher and higher, but he prayed on without ceasing. An hour passed, and he was still on his knees. There was no longer relevancy in his appeal. He uttered merely words and dis- phrases to consume time. The muscles of his throat contracted, his tongue was dry and clave to his mouth, his voice was husky but he prayed on, the words falling without meaning upon his hearers. He told later that he did not know 'what he was saying, and that the only real prayer uttered in all that time. was a silent one, composed of four words "God hasten Rolph's footsteps." At the end of an hour and a half, there was an uproar, and almost a riot, when a voice cried, 'Here comes Dr. Rolph.' The minister did not hear or héed the new tumult, but prayed on, be- coming weaker each moment. Soon the doc- tor dashed up to the scaffold, scattering people right and left. He was too weak to speak or move, but a man in the crowd, snatched a document from his hand and mounting on the back of the horse, shouted, 'Reprieve!, 'Re- prieve! It was so; and that is how Carr and Smith were saved. 5 \ They Were Tagged Too, - The method of raising money for charities by the conferring of decorative coat labels on "tag day" is not altogether original. From times immemorial in China a donation of 20,000 taels to charity has secured for the donor the much-prized peacock's feather, while for half that sum a title of nobility is conferred on one's ancestors to the third generation. The late Emperor of Brazil, when erecting a hospi- tal in Rio de Jeneiro, found a difficulty in ob- taining funds until he announced that the title of "baron" was to be conferred on every sub- scriber of 100,000 milreis, and that of "count" on subscribers of 250,000 milreis. The hospital was soon completed. The opening ceremony was performed by the Emperor, and attended by a large number of the newly ennobled, who not altogether relished the words inscribed in letters of gold on the gable of the new build- ing, "Human Vanity to Human Misery." Signs of Prehistoric People. The ancient inhabitants of Europe have left some remarkable 'specimens of human industry in the lake bottoms of Switzerland, revealed by chance. During unusally low water, the villagers of Ober-Meilen discovered in the mud the ends of wooden piles and utensils of stone, horn and bronze. The piles seemed to have been the supports of dwellings destroyed by fire. Following this discovery a search was made in the Alps regions, and interesting utensils of ancient times unearthed. They show that in the stone age the inhabitants knew how to weave linen, bake bread, utilize domestic animals in agriculture, use all sorts of tools, such as stone axes and saws, ropes, bone needles, pestles and picks. Pottery was made on a vast scale and sometimes decorated in artistic designs Rev.

Just then Miss Ethel Austin, who lived in Clapham-road, hur- ried to the rescue. First she snatched the constable's whistle. from the chain and blew loudly; and then boldly grappled with a man who had thrown the officer to the ground and was knéeling on his chest. He turned and attacked her violently, dealing a terrible blow between the eyes. But although the plucky girl was only seventeen, she was nearly six feet tall, and strongly bult, and managed to hold the man till a second policeman arrived. At. the Westminster police court on the fol- Jowing Monday, the magistrate, commended her pluck, and the Chief Commissioner after- wards sent her a cheque and a letter of thanks.

The Hindu Dewali is a feast of lights. The houses of those people in whose family there has been no death during the year are illum- inated with little lamps, consisting for the most part of an earthen vessel or glass bottle, in which is placed cocoanut oil with a wick. These lights are arranged in various ways in front of the houses and the effect is pretty. Late in the night of this day the Hindu brings his rupees into well Tighted place and worships them, for the object of the general cleaning and the lighting at this time is that the God- dess of Wealth may be pleased and give them prosperity during the coming year. In earlier times a custom existed, that the money was put back into a dark, underground place. A 'little boy baby was also placed on the box and a light placed before him, which he would look at till he died of exhaustion, after which his spirit, it was believed, would guard the money. A snake was sometimes put in the hiding place of the money"to guard it, but these cus- toms have ceased.
