PAGE 2. sands of Russian New Testaments left in the storehouse were sent to Russian clergymen for distribution. He says: Archbishop of Riga told me with tears in his eyes that, except on Easter day, he had never seen such crowds of people pour into the church as came to receive from his hand a copy of the New Testament. Mothers crowded in and lifted up their children that the children might, with their own hands, re- ceive a copy of this some towns, even of 30,000 pe0ple, a copy of the New Testa- ment could not be secured at any price, and that even those c0pies which could be secured in Riga, the capital of the coun- try, cost so much that it was impossible for the poor people to buy them. Many families, who for years have longed for a Testament, have finally had their great desire satisfied.” Vt.” luv ya vwvuuv “On the ‘Drottningholm.’ going over from New York to Goteberg, I met a Methodist minister, 3 Dane by birth, but a man who because of his long residence in the United States knew American religious conditions at first hand. He told me, to my astonishment, that it was easier to support a de- nominational organization in Copenhagen than in any of our Mid-Western cities. He preached every Sunday there to some eight hundred or one thousand. ‘These people,’ he said, ‘ac- cording to their means, contributed very liberally.’ He also spoke of the increased interest in religious education shown by the clergy of the Established Church of Denmark and the numerous discussions now going on regarding the theological basis of Christianity, all going to show that the former in« difference was being replaced by a genuine desire to improve the church and to add to its effectiveness. VV...---â€".â€" “1 well remember in Copenhagen in 1899 attending the ‘Church of Our Lady,’ where there is to be seen Thorwaldsen’s remarkable marble statue (at the Communion table) of Jesus, with outstretched hands, giving the universal invitation, ‘Come unto me,’ and where down the two sides of the church are ranged the accompanying statues of the apostles, all save Judas, whose place is taken by St. Paul. At the time, there was the most meagre of congregations, the great church re- sounding to the footsteps of some belated worshipper who had almost to himself the larger part of the aisles and seats and the minister preaching to the few who were huddled up around the pulpit. This last summer, on a Sunday in June, I went to the same church. Imagine my surprise to find the whole body of the floor filled with peOple, and even the galleries very nearly full. Yet the service was not 'of especial interest nor was the preacher a man of marked ability. ‘7 ‘7-A_‘_ L- “NO GREATER CURSE HAS BLIGHTED AND IMPEDED the onward movement of the Kingdom of God during the years than overlapping and competition on the part of the different denominations. More time, brain power, physical and nervous energy have been expended along this line than any other. SOMETHING LIKE A RELIGIOUS REVIVAL, OR AT least increased interest in church attendance, seems to be sweeping over Northern and Central Europe if one may com- pare the year 1924 with other previous years, says Rev. Thomas Van Ness, writing in The Boston Transcript. He continues : " . 5i“fi§ve a distinct judgment that if all Christian institu- tions, all Christian men and the God of all these men and institutions were to co-operate on a high moral and religious plane toward Christianizing America, that within the next quarter of a century the task would have been accomplished.â€" Melvin P. Burns. A NATION-WIDE DRIVE WITH THE ULTIMATE OBJECT of putting Germany in the dry column was launched on May 10 with a series of addresses from pulpits of all denomina- tions. The leaders of the movement, according to the Chris- tian Observer, say they hope to have 15,000,000 votes pledged to the cause before September. Women figure prominently in the movement, one of the strongest contingents in the pro- hibition army being the evangelical women’s league, with more than 1,000,000 members. Failure to secure prompt and effi- cient legislation through the national parliament and local diets has prompted the leaders of the movement to adopt the local option device, as a quicker method of gauging public sentiment as regards prohibition. “Germany spends 2,500,~ 000,000 marks annually for beer, wines and liquors, which is anything but flattering, when it is recalled that the Dawes reparation loan amounted to only 300,000,000 mar ,” one of the dry leaders remarked by way of reflecting on the financial effect of prohibition on Germany’s public and private economics. THERE IS A RIGHT WAY OF USING INFLUENCE. OB- serve how Jesus puts the matter when He says: “Let your light so shine.” The word so should be emphasized as indi- cating the manner of the shining. Light may be so held in the hand as to dazzle the observer. Light may be brought too near the eyes. Light may be set at a wrong angle. Light may be wasted, its beams be displayed so as to be of no use to the man who would read or work. Hence it is not enough to be luminous. but so to use our luminousness as to be of use to other peopleâ€"Joseph Parker. ‘ For Where are now those chains that bound me,â€" ,1 Chains of sin and self and pride? Hallelujah! Jesus broke them When I sought his riven side. Now a sweeter, nobler bondage Does my raptured soul enthral, For there’s pleasure in his service, More than all, yes, more than all! For gold takes wings and flies afar, And gear is ofttimes hampering, , ‘ And peace of mind it well might mar,’ And deaden joy with pampering; ‘ 3 My merry thoughts go scampering, Quite free from envy’s smartâ€"- Indeed, maybe some envy me, The Singing Heart! 5 And never think I walk alone Upon the road I fare along, For hearts that answer to my own A-many pilgrims bear along; There’s comradeship full rare along Our way, through 'field or martâ€"- No earthly ill for long can chill The Singing Heart! ‘17:“) I trudge along the footpath way, Sometimes a wee bit wearily; It may be under skies of gray, With low clouds drifting drearily; Still on I fare right cheerilyâ€" 1’ faith I would not_part A 1' L-I.I THE SINGING HEART Desmond is supported by Mar- gumitn (Jlmltm.

RAN DOWIN FOX WITH A FORD The glare of a motor car head- lights seems to overcome. the efii- ciencv of :i l'nx‘s faculties as vs ell as those. of men. as is evidenced by a report from the Bruce Peninsula. ()n the Centre Read, about four miles north of Mar post office, a red fox appeared in front of a car driven by Mr. Lorne Boyle of W‘iarton about midnight. recently. The fox turned and ran ahead of the car, keepng in the glare of the head- lights. Boyle opened the throttle and after going at a good speed for a mile or so, overtook the fox, which disappeared under the car. The front axle hit the animal on the head, killing him instantly, and Boyle is in possession of a nice, large, red fox hide.

MoGregor‘s and L. 0. Charlesworth’s stores were brok- en into on Sunday night of last week and a quantity of goods taken. The glass panel in McGregor’s front. door was smashed by striking it a heavy blow, apparently with a large piece of board that was left lying there, and then the door was unlatched. Some candy and gum was all that was missed from the place. The front of the till was smashed in an attempt to get it open but the hur- glars were not successful in their effort. rl‘he till contained some change. ~7â€" Entrance to Charlesworth’s hard- ware was effected by removing a pane of glass in a rear door. Flash- ligh‘ts. safety razors, jack-knives and other small articles were taken, and the cash register was tampered with man effort to extract the con- tents, but in this case. they were also unsuccessful. Some chocolate bars were left on tap of a show case where the robber was loading up with hardware. These were not. from McGregor’s store, so the gang must have been in a third place, but so far, it is not known where. Suslwicions movnmonts of a" cou- ple of man on the street on Monday night prompted Mr. R. W. McFar- lane and a couple of clerks. who were. in the store. late doing somo work. to remain on. the ground. and the result was ’the near captnrn of the deslml‘adoes.
