men that he had become religious, and sure enough, when pressed to take a drink, L. > said: “1 shall never drink mair, lads. Na drunkard can inherit the kingdom of God.” The knowing one smiled and said: “Wait a^bit. Wait until hot went her —until July. When he gets as dry as a gravel-pit he will give in. He can't help it. ” But right through the hottest months he toiled, the sweat pouring . off in streams: yet he seemed never to be tempted to drink. Finally, as 1 was taking the men’s time, one evening, 1 stopped and spoke to him. “Stowe,” said I, “you used to take considerable liquor. Don't you miss it?” “Yes,” said he, emphatically. “How do you manage to keep away from it?” “Week just this way. It is now tan o’clock, isn’t it?” “Yes.” “Weel, to-dav is the 20th o’ the month. From seven till eight I asked that the Lord would help me. He did so, an’ 1 put down a dot on the calendar, right near the twenty. “From eight till nine he kep’ me, and I put down another dot. From nine till tan He’s kep’ me, an’ noo 1 gie Him the glory as 1 put down the third dot. “.lust as I mark these, I pray, ‘O Lord halp me—halp me to tight it off for another hour.’ ” “How long shall you keep this up?” I inquired. “All o’my life,” was the earnest i reply. “It keeps me sae full o’ peace , an’ happiness that I wouldn’t gie it < up for anything. It is just as Hei took me by the hand and said, Wark awa’, Striker Stowe, I’m wi’ ye. Dinna be fearfu'. You teck care o' i ye regular wark. an' I’ll see to the l de'il, an’ the thirst, an’ they shall na trouble ye.’”—H. C. Pearson, In , the Contributor. I Tbo Urowih of I hrbtla illy. Col. Ingersoll's tirades against Christianity continue. He believes that the more education and enlightenment, the less religion. The steady growth of Christianity with the steady growth of intelligence and education shows how far Mr. Ingersoll has departed from the truth. The progress of Christianity in numbers, in wealth and m churches has been far ahead of the increase in population. For instance, the population of the United States increased from 1800 to 1880 nine-fold, whereas the membership of the evangelical ’ churches increased 27-told, and the Catholic population increased 02-fold. From 1850 to 1880 the population increased 110 per cent., and the com-; municants of the evangelical churches 185 per cent.; the Catholic population, which, of course, embraces children, increased 294 per cent. In 1850 there were 38,000 church buildings in the country: in 1870 there were 03,000. In 1850 the value unchurch property was $87,000,009, and in 1870 it was $3a4,000,000. In 1890 there were 27.757,171 communicants in all the churches in the United States, and this does not include the children of Protestant parents who have not joined the church, but will in the great majority of instances do so. From these figures it will be seen that Christianity has not only increased in material importance, but. that the percentage of Christians to the population has been steadily enlarging. To say in the face of these substantial results that Christianity is dying out, and that infidelity is spreading, is simply absurd. >wwHpaport of the Country.’ There are 955 religious papers in the United States, whose combined circulation is about one-eight of all the newspapers published in the country. The Methodists publish 147 papers, with a circulation of 650,000: the Roman Catholics 127 papers, circulation 750,000; Baptists 126 papers, circulation 500.000; Presbyterians 53. circulation 500,000; Protestant Episcopal 4i, with a general circulation all over the country. Lutherans are most numerous in Pennsylvania and the West; they have in all 37 newspapers, circulation mostly local. Congregationalism is strongest is New England: its 21 papers circulate about 150,000 copies; the Christians have 14 papers, with a circulation of 50.000 copies: the Jews have 13 papers, Spiritualists 10, Universalists 11, Swedenborgians 9. United Brethren 7, Unitarians. I >isI ciples, and Friends each 6, Mormons 4, Church of Christ and Salvation Army each 3, and the Shakers, King's Daughters and Ueiorni. d Episcopalians each 1.

To Parents. Lank after your hoy. Take him as soon as possible into your personal; confidence. Train him to be truthful, honest, dilligent and God-fear-•ing. Encourge him in his studies. Put him in the way of reading books. Keep him off the street, and away from all evil companions. Take time to do these things. It will pay you. Your boj r is a great trust from God, and you must give account of him. He has provoking faults. How could it lie otherwise, seeing he is your own offspring? But he has also great possibilities of nobleness and usefulness. Whether they shall be developed depends on you. — Nashville Christian Advocate. « Notm an t Comino-i ts. Rev. Du. Parkhurst of New York, is disposed to look a gift horse m Hie mouth. He has been ungracious enough to ask where Jay GouW got the SIO,OOO winch he subscribed to the Presbyterian Church Extension Organization. Du. John Hall said at the ministerial meeting in Jay Gould's house that in twenty-five years be had never । been obliged to go to a prison to look for one of his parishioners. But then few pastors are blessed with such substantial flocks ar Dr. Hall’s. Millionaires don’t go to prison as a rule, even if they are not church member. Rev. Dil Amerman, who has just arrived from China, speaks in gratifying terms of the progress made in Presbyterian missionary work in Japan. In the Queen’s jubilee year his church had 11,000 con verts. Now the number has increased to 62,000. The j^licy of his church, Mr. Amerinan says, has been to cultivate a spirit of patriotism. The late Dr. Hodge of Princeton, used to say to his students: “Calvinism is the broadest of systems. It regards the divine sovereignty and the freedom of the human will as the two sides of a roof which come together at a ridge-pole above the clouds. Calvinism accepts both truths. A system which denies either has only half a roof over its head.” Moody and Sankey are not finding it all plain sailing in their peregrinations through Scotland. Some of their severest critics are clergymen. The unkindest cut of all was the following by a Blairgowrie parson to his । congregation: “As mo >dy and Sankey are to be in this church next Wednesday, I would advise any of you who have valuable Bibles or hymn books in your pews to take them home with you till next Sunday.” One hundred years ago. when । Georgetown College was founded,sloo . '-is considered a munificent donation, ; says an exchange. A few years ago, ; when the Catholic University was I founded in Washington, donations of I SIO,OOO, $20,000, $50,000, SIOO,OOO i and one single donation of $300,000 | were forthcoming. In St. Paul. Minn., a men, a PoU’sU’nt him*?!*’. yet the i hush...id of a Catholic and toe father iof a Catholic family, made to Archbishop Ireland the princely gift of $500,000 for an ecclesiastical institute of learning. In 17s!> there was but one Catholic educational house in the land, Georgetown College. ')o-d:iy thetc a“e thhtv-llve ecclesiastical seminaries for the training of candidates to the priesthood. PC colleges an i about 635 female academies. lx summing up the results of the movement f<»r revi-ion a Presbyterian | paper finds, first, that the constitutional majority of the Presbyteries did not sav they desired revision; second, that the committee rejxirt was not unanimous in its H:-t or second report; third, that thirty-four Presbyteries disapprowd of the first report and forty-eight more declined Ito act mon it. and if they hold the same at tit tale now Ihe pen iimr report would fail to get a two-thirds majority; fourth, only twenty-six Presbyteries unqualilledh approved the first report, and of the eightvI live which voted a quasi approval their differences on some points were l greater than their agreements, but. even it thev could harmonize, the constitutional majority necessary for revision would still b. wanting. If these statements are correct it will be seen that little has been accomplished ; ioward securing revision. To Remove Runt. Buv four ounces of muriatic acid at a druggist's. It is useful for various purposes. Have it maiked plainly. It should, moreover, be labelled as poisonous. • Fill a large bowl with boiling ; water. Have another bowl or pan ! full of hot water. A bottle of house- | hold ammonia also is necessary. Place the qoited part of the garment over the bowl of hot water. ; Wet a cork in the muriactic acid, I and touch the iron rust with it. Immediatelv the spot will turn a bright yellow. Dip at once in the hot water ’ and the stain will disappear. When all the spots have been removed rinse the article thoroughly in several waters and then in ammonia water (a tablcspoonful of household ammonia ito a quart of water,) and finally in । clear water. The acid is very poweri ful. and will destroy the labric if al- ! lowed to remain upon it. Ammonia : neutralizes it. If the directions be followed care- ' fully the most delicate fabiic can be successfully treated in this way.—Ex- ; change.

One week’s income of th<K.owner3 of London’s ground, the value of which increases at the rate of over $4,000,000 annually, would provide a dinner every day in the year for each one of the 40,000 ill-fed children, and London’s million of poor could be decently housed on the unearned increment of a year.

A friend tells me of witnessing an incident on one of the elevated roads a lew days ago, says a writer, where it chanced that two of the swinging-leg sort, of the male persuasion, were siting opposite each other, and their right gaiters, each about a foot above the iiwor, were holding sweet communism about the condition of their soles, as it were. Presently a man came down the aisle and halted opposite the barrier, saying sarcastically: “Take down the bars, please." It seemed to be very neat until the quick, angry ret rt came: “Yes, certainly, and let the cattle go through."
