Reman Catholic population 80,100,000,

A few years age a bishop of the Epis

Dana Beard m an, the eminent Baptist
clergyman of Philadelphia: "Beanlman,
you will never become content till you
beceme an Episcopalian." "On the con
trary," replied Dr. Beardman, "I am
centent where I am a minister nt Beard
aud Arch. This makes me nn archbishop,
you see, while you nre only a bishop."
The ether day Dr. Beardman thu9 ex
pressed his conception of church unity:
"I have an ideal church in my mind.
First, the deer of this church I would
make Baptism; becend, the Lord's table
for the Lord's people; third, the doctrinal
statement I would make is: 'Ged se
loved the world that he gave his only be bo be
getten 6en, that whosoever bolieveth In
him might net perish but have everlast
ing life;' fourth, my policy, Presbyterian;
my activity and real, Methodist; my
liturgy, Episcepalinn; my offerings, the
abolition of pew rents. At times I
would have Quaker silence. Ne longer
the recognition of similarities, but of di
versities." New Yerk Tribune.

The latest Ititelllgence from the Uganda
(African equatorial) missions is te the
effect that the deposed natlve monarch,
Mwanga, has succeeded in re-establishing
himself as king, It is staled that he
has proclaimed himself a Cnristinu, and
that the power of the Arabs is com
pletely overthrown.Cliristlau men, either
Protestants or Reman Catholics, being
new iu authority. Mwanga'a Christian
ity Is doubtless, as says The Missionary
Review of the World, altogether of the
nominal sort, yet he has liad convincing
evidence of the 6elfi3hness and wicked
ness of the Arabs and of the faithfulness
of the Christians, and it is but reason
able that he should trust the latter
rather than the former. If Mwanga's
professed zeal for Christianity be sincere,
and if it continue, he might, as the re
instated ruler of the finest of Central
African aboriginal races, assist in the
suppression of slavery and promote the
advance of civilization south nnd west
across vast areas in 'The Darkest Africa."

ibj'ftre times when the most ad-
cd Christian doubts wlicthcr he haj
made any attainment at all in the Chris
tian life; nnd jierhapa it is the most ad
vanced Christian who is most Uable te
doubts of tliat sort. A child may fancy
that he has made great strides in knowl
edge and nttalument; but te the greatest
of philosophers the utmost outreach of
human effort seems like a gathering of
pebbles en the shoreof h limitless ocean.
In the Christian llfe the beglnncr feels
that the breaking up of seme bad liablt,
or the prosenco of seme new and worthi
er principle, Is the token of large pro pre pro
grew), whlle the advanced Christien who
has ceme te see in seme moasure what
the unreserved consecration of llfe
means must sometlmcs doubt whether
he ban fairly begun the course that is set
bofero him. It is all very well te rldl rldl
ciile mich doubts as morbid fancies;
Bomctlmes they nre be; sometimes, no
doubt, it is sickness of the body that
brings sickness of mind; but unions one
wcre prepared te deny all reality, te the
cxjKsrionce of saintly men nnd women
who nre neither morbid nor fanciful, ene
must confess that such doubts de at
times vex true saints of Ged.
When the doubt docs assail such a ene
It Is never dissipated by a conviction of
Ills own soundness of religious belief.
The knowlcdge of Ged's truth then op-
lears in the light of n responsibility
nevcr at all as a merlt. Neither docs he
take comfort In his own most meritori
ous conduct. In the self searchlngs of
an nwakoued conscience geed deeds al
ways leek small. Some mero searching
test Is necessary.
A plain nnd dcctslve test of Christian
character which may safely be applied
en all occasions is most precious, and
such n test Is given by St. Jehn in this
short sentence: "We knew that we have
passed from death unto llfe, because we
leve the brethrenl" Se long as pne knows
that he loves his fellow Christians as
brethren aud because they are brethrcn,
co long he knows that, howevor small
his progress in the Christian llfe, he has
advanced se far as te have passed
from death unto llfe! With that
ossurance he can well afford te be
patient wllh himself and net despair
because of his shortcomings. The leve
of Christ being in him, he has the best
nnsurance that the hand of Christ 1b lead
ing him in ways that he himself does net
yet knew and te an end of perfectness
that he himself canuet forcsee. This os es os
Hurance will fester no vain spirit of self solf self
satisfactien; rather it will stlmulate the
spirit of endeavor; the strengthened soul
will press forward "towards the mark
for the prize of its high calling of Ged In
Christ Jesus;" nnd ever as it presses for
ward it will strive nfter gieater fullness
of that leve for the brethren which Is the
unfailing ovidence of Its own spiritual

Who I ItlKllt?
Some few months nge Dean Hart, of
Denver, made ft suggestion te me. "The
lowest Ntrntum of the masses," says he,
"will net readily frequent nplace which is
incongruous te their habitual surround
ings. I remember twenty years nge we
had an admirable city missionary work
ing in the dense population of Deptferd.
I often used te preach for him. He held
his services In the upper story of a saw
mill; the plnce used te be packed. Se
rigorous was tlie work that we persuaded
Bishop Tait (and it was no easy matter
te de he) te ordain him, for 'literates' or
'illiterates' were rnre in theso days. We
all helped him te build a church. Here
was the same man, the Bnme place and
the same peeple; but 1 never saw 200 of
them in the new church. It was tee
light, tee clean, tee grand, tee uulike
their habitual surroundings; they felt un
comfortable nnd they would net ceme.
If we want that class of 'the masses' we
must study their taste, net our own, nnd
build accordingly. Witness that bijou
of a chinch, Calvary chapel, in New
Yerk, iu the midst of a thick population
and but half filled." If the dean is right
we ought te previde the ma&ses with
church buildings which would at ence
suggest a theatre nnd a beer hall. But is
he right? I hlieuld lilre te have seme ex ex

In the second chapter of his book the
Rev. Mr. Johnsten considers the same
subject the incrcofie in adherents of the
thrce great Christian forces under the
head of "Nationalities." Ills conclu
sions are that net only nre tlie Protestant
powers increasing most rapidly in num
bers, but that the Increase is in a still
greater ratio in wealth and in all the
elements of power. Probably theso con
clusions will command acccptance mero
quickly than theso of his first chapter,
simply because the intelligent public is
mero familiar with facts en which they
are based. He puts the whole matter
here Inte very compact form when he
says: "The accumulation of wealth In
England aud America is Immeasurably
greater than that in the rest of the
world. The French nccumulate by sav
ing in small sums; the Saxons by pro
ducing wealth through the power of
steam nnd the spread of commerce."

Tlie Cumberland Presbyterinn church
was organized in 1810. The thrce minis
ters who were the founders were ex
pelled from ihe Presbyterian church of
that day because of their rejection of
the doctrines of election nnd reprobation
ns taught In the Westminster Confession
of Fnlth.
In 1813 the church had se increased ns
te form thrce presbyteries. These pres
byteries met iu tlmt year and constitut
ed n synod, which nt ence formulated
nnd published a brief statement of their
points of dissent from the Westminster
confession. They nre ns follews:
That thore nre no otenial reprobates.
That Christ died net for a part only
but for all mankind.
That nil Infants dying in infancy are
saved through Christ and the sanctifica sanctifica
tien of the Spirit.
That the Spirit of Ged operates en the
world, or as ce-extcusivcly as ChrUt has
mnde atonement, in such ft manner us te
leave nil men inexcusable.
In 1811 n Confession of Faith was
adopted, which is ni'iinly the Westmin
ster confession, with the doctrines of
predestination, unconditional election,
reprobation and limited atonement elim
inated therefrem.
This remained the btandnrd of faith of
the church until 1881, when n commit
tee wes appointed te form nn entirely
new creed, whicli in 1883 was adopted
by the nlmebt unanimous vote of its
general assembly. A few extracts from

The movement in the direction of a
Methedist sisterhood is rapidly taking a
tuuglble form. A private conference of
leading Wesleyans has been held, at
wliich a council of ndvice was formed.

start with, and n house is te be taken

modating ten or twelve sisters, who will

Nnw YenK, June 10. Bryant park, In
New Yerk, Is the fashionable playground
for the millionaires' children, where the
prettiest and newest gowns for small
folks are displayed. True, few notlce
them except the nurses of the uncon
scious little rivals nnd chnnce visitors,
but they are there nil the snme.
Yesterday 1 Fpent n geed hour listen
ing te the happy llttle voices ns the
pretty dancers "Rung Around a Resy"
nnd played "Llttle Sally Wntera."
What did they wear? these llttle
ones, whose parents can dress them in
Belld geld or cover them from hend te
feet in ene dazzling crust of jewels If
they w Ish? Their parents buy them slm-
"itINO Aueuxn a ueiv,
ple gowns, se that they can play and run
nnd get their sweet, rese leaf faces hinut
ly If they wish and their dimpled hands
begrimed with dust and healthy perspira
tion, If they like te de se. And It "is
better for them, If it Is well te be rosy
with perfect health, te have geed appe
tites and sweet, Round sleep.
One brown haired little ghl had en a
dark green dotted India ilk, made half
low nt the neck und with short sleeves.
There was no imeless trimmings en It.
Nothing but n plain band and a belt
without ends of surah. IJlnek stockings
encased the plump little legs, nnd her
hat was a great black btraw, lle.ible nnd
trimmed with tufts of green feathers.
Anether, n trifle larger, may be 10 years
old, had n white flannel dress with yoke,
belt and sleove caps of delicate plaid silk
In pink, blue and while. Anether llttle
girl said they called this ene Fourth of
July, as. she wero the national colors.
With tins she had a large white leghorn
hat trimmed with daisies and surnh, like
the trimming en her little gown, An An
other one wero a chocolate colored cash cash
incre ever n gnimpe .of figured Iudia
silk, nud the had a sash of the same held
in the back with two mother-ef-peail
buckles.
One pretty little girl, daik, with ink
black wavy hair and beautiful eyes, and
with even white teeth and a rich bloom
en lips and cheeks, was very unhappy be
caueo she was dressed up iu n splendid
blue nnd white plaid surah with n vest
of white surah nnd velvet trimmings and
n grand enough hat for the Queen of
Timbuctoo, nnd she had tight little
gloves nnd tight little beets nud brace
lets nud n fine locket and chain. I found
af urviird that she was the daughter of
n tailor, who delighted in seeing her in
the fluent nrray; but peer little heart!
she cast longing glances at the group
who were phi) lug "Little Sally Waters"
iu all the joyous abandon that loeso,
comfortable and net tee fine garments
allow.
In that group the big sister was dressed
for victory en the tenuis grenud. She
wero a white polka dot Annuel in pink
and white with nn old rese Fash held by
nn enormous ulide, an 1 Mie wero a clese
cap en her chestnut cuita.
One of the little ouch had n blouse
suit of striped daik blue nnd white
gingham, trimmed with bands of white
tape. Anether had a pretty little striped
gingham in apple gjeen and gray, worn
ever a white gnimpe, the dress trimmed
with flat bands of gray and white bro
cade. I lie ether ene wero u pink cham
bray, made quite plain, high in the neck,
nud ever it u very dainty little white
npren shined at the waist with drawing
striugs, which nllew it te be ironed ens-
"i.itti.i: SAij.ir. w.iTr.us."
ily. Gingham hats made with reeds
were worn with these sensible little
gowns. I was telling the result of my
observations te "a mother of thiee,"and
fche said scernfully:
'Oh, rich peeple can dress as they
like, but peer ones nuist keep up ap
pearances," and 1 thought it was
hard that the chihlien couldn't be let
alene in their happy ignorance of this
worldly wisdom nnd dressed in a way te
innks them both happy and healthy, but
thou the millennium hasn't get here
yet Oi.ivk IlAnrcn.

Prcbident Beene, of Indiana univer
sity, in a history of education, says that
of the 0,500 students nt present in theo
logical seminaries less than one-fourth
nre graduates of colleges. The propor
tion of partially educated men Is In
creasing. Many can reniesnbcr when
the decided majority of IV 1I.1 'ical stu
dents consisted of cell-; graduates.
Less than twenty j cars the number had
fallen te one-third. The Turgum re
cently expressed !U regret that se large
n part of the men 111 the Theological
seminary nt New Brunswick had net
taken n cellege ceurse. Perhaps ncccs
slty compels many te e'lerU'ii tlie coure
of study. If se it is desirable that it be
removed as far as possible. A minister
lias need of a thorough education.

Nearly 201 churches nnd 0,000 conver
sions ere reported by the missionaries of
the American Sunday Scheel union as
the results of their cfleita in planting
union Sunday schools In the past two
yenrs. Since 1821 the society has started
85,800 Sunday schools, with a member
ship when btartcd of 4,155,897.
In Seuth Carolina, as early as 1702, n
Soclety for the Relief of Widows nnd
Children of the Clergy was formed, nnd
it is believed te be the first ene formed
in this country, or perlmps in the world.
It is notable that it was net necessary
then te say the widows of "deceased
clergymen," for it was net understood
iu theso days hew they could be widows
of clergymen who wcre net deceased.
In the Bevcn Baptist theological semi
naries of this country there are C58 stu
dents. At Centerville, O., 1C8 accessions have
been made te the Methedist church since

JIR. KRAFT'S NOVEL TIMWinCE.
F. T. Kraft, a German resident of
Bioeklyu, whlle walking down Broad
way, New Yerk, ene day seme six years
age, saw In the window of n jeweler's
stere a clock of peculiar construction.
The owner, who refused te levcal the
principle of its mechanism, told him
that the timepicce was unique, nnd had
been made in Lnglaud tweuty-five years
age. ilr. Kraft went home resolved en
weiking out the problem for himself.
The result of his determination is n
tiraeplece supported by four polished
columns. Beneath It stands n small
brass platform balanced en two pivots.
A groevo cut into the surface of the
brass runs zigzag fiem one end te the
ether. In this runs incessantly a steel
bull the bize of n tifle bullet.
When the ball has geno from ene end
of the platform te the ether it ntnke3 a
steel wire. The platform tilts up, the
ball rolls back, and the process is repeat
ed at the opposite extremity. Mr. Kraft
explained the principle of his clock the
ether day ns follews: "The two wires
which the ball btrikes against nt the end
of pach trip me fastened abeve te a long
red. Frem the upper side of this red
runs n ntrip of bleel, which rests against
ene of four pins en an escapement wheel
In the works. When the ball strikes the
wire it releases this wheel, which makes
a quarter revolution te the next pin. On
the same axis is a cog wheel whose teeth
fit Inte theso of nnethcr of half the cir
cumference. The smaller wheel makes
a half revolution while the ether is mak
ing n quarter. Te the axia of this wheel
is fastened n led, which is attached at
its ether end te the platform, which is
pulled up or down ncceullng te the wire
which the ball strikes. It take3 the ball
just fie seconds te make the trip, n half
second for each section of the groove.
The platform acts ns n pendulum, with a
five set eud swing."
