If one half of the skill and foroefulness emiployed in financial af. fairs was employed in disseminating the truths of Christ and trying to make the world better, within ten years the last Jug. gernaut would fall, the last throne of op pression upset, the last iniquity tumble and the anthem that was chanted over Bethie- hem on Christmas night would be echoed | and re-echoed from all Nations and kindred i and people: “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good-will to men ** In the first place, my friends. we want more common sense in the building and conduct of churches. The idea of adap- tiveness is always paramount in any other kind of structure, If bankers meet to. gether, and they resolve upon putting up a bank, the bank is especially adapted to banking purposes; if a manufacturing com. pany puts up a bullding, it is to be adapted to manufacturing purposes; but adaptive. ness is not always the question ina the roar. ing of churches, In many of our churches we want more light, more room, more ven- tiiation, more comfort, Vast sums of money areexpended on ecclesinstionl strue. tares, and men sit down in them, and you Ask a man how he likes the church; hesays: *1 like it very well, but I can’t bear.” Again I remark: We want more common sense in the obtaining of religious hope.

The Petit Journal, of Paris, relates a remarkable experience of M. Charles Jalerat, who was wounded in the war of 1870 while serving in the artillery. He was struck by a bullet in the left temple, and in spite of repeated at- tempts, the surgeons were unable to extract it. Whey expressed the opin fon, however, that the man might live for years with the bullet in his head. As a matter of fact, for twenty-seven years it did pot trouble him in the least. Last May, however, the bullet, which had remained buried in the frontal tissues, moved up toward the brain, and M. Jallerat became insane. For nearly a fortnight his mind pe mained unbalanced, but happily the bullet again shifted its position, and M. Jallerat recovered. He did not feel any more inconvenience until quite re cently, when he experienced a curious sensation in the throat. He succeeded in forcing the obstruction into his mouth. and was very much surprised to discover that it was the bullet which be had carried in his bead for over a quarter of a century, on ay a A ———————— Rp ——— RN Tg npn gry a ili Bloody Battles, More lives were lost in the battle of | Lelpsic than at any other, It took place Oct, 16, 18 aud 10, 1813, between the French and the Austrians, Pras slans and Russians, The Freuch were 160,000 strong, the allies 240,000, More than 50,000 men perished, and the French were defeated Such losses throw into the shade the losses of American war.
