The Missionary Society of the Pro tectant Episcopal church, through Its Bener.il secretary, the Itcv. Arthur S. Lloyd, called together at Now York the moit and women under appointment to sail this fall for the missions of that chutch for a short conference. The meetings were held nt the Church Mis sions House on July 23. On the evening of the same day a farewell service was held at the Church of the Holy Apostles, Ninth avenue and Twenty-eighth street, for these outgo ing missionaries. Hlshop Burgess, cor responding Secretary John W. Wood, and the rector of tho church, the Hev. It. U Paddock, together with several or those soon to sail, made addresses. Twenty missionaries go out this fall, all but one of these for the first time. Their destinations are Alaska, the Phil ippines, Japun and China. Mormon Missionaries at Work. Fourteen hundred Mormon mission aries are at work In this country alone, with GOO, at least, In other lands. From the mining regions of Pennsylvania comes this pitiful word: "It seems to l'ne that nil western Pennsylvania Is turning to the Mormon faith." Within n short time two Mormon fathers in Utah have sold their daughters Into polygamy, one receiving a cow and a calf nnd the other three or four acres of land in return. There Is marked ac tivity in the Mormon church Itself nt tho present time, especially in the line of organizing young people's societies. There Is no lack of money for Mor mon work. Does the tithing house fall to yield what Is wanted? Then all that Is necessary is for the heads of the church to Issue an order of this kind: "Brother So-and-So will nt once furn ish $1,000 for the sending out of a mis sionary." The funds are forthcoming, no matter at what cost of sacrifice and labor. The "brother" dares not refuse, for the church holds his business and, quite probably, his life In Its tighten ing grip. Christian Advocate. Rev. C. B. Henry Transferred. Tho vacancy caused by the with drawal of Rev. Walter A. Wagner from the pastorate of the Methodist Episco pal church at Luzerne Borough, has been filled by Rev. Dr. Griffin, the pro siding elder, who has appointed Rev. Clinton B. Henry, pastor at Taylor, to succeed Rev. Mr. Wagner. Rev. Mr. Henry was the unanimous choice of the committee of the Luzerne Borough church and will begin his work in the new field under favorable conditions. He is a graduate of Wy oming Seminary and the Drew Theo logical Seminary. : Religious Notes. There will bu no preaching services at the Puritan Congregatlonallst church, either tomorrow morning or evening. Sunday school will, however, be held at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Tho Chautauqua Assembly ana School of Methods at Carmel Grove Is attracting the attention of large num bers of Methodists. Today the spe cial feature is Bishop Fowler's great lecture on "Great Deeds of Great Men." To tho efforts of Rev. Dr. J. B. Sweet, presiding elder of the Blnghamton dis trict, Is due much of the singular suc cess of this year's assembly. The United Brethren Board of Mis sions at Its recent annual meeting made appropriations amounting to $2S, r23, of which $14,295 was for the home field, $3,000 for Porto Rico, $5,000 for Japan, $4,000 for Africa, and $1,000 for Germany. The -73 homo missions re turn an average membership of 5,638 in the congregations and 4,022 In the Sunday schools. Twenty-three new missions were opened last year, 22 new churches organized, and 4 parsonages and 12 church houses built. The total receipts of the board for the year were $92,233. The corresponding secretary was authorized by the board to secure means for tho support of Individual missionaries from local churches. A vacancy In the episcopate of the United Brethren church having oc curred through the death of Bishop Hott, It became the constitutional duty of the remaining bishops to provide for the appointment and holding of the annual conferences comprising the va cant episcopal district. In the absence of specifications of the method of pro cedure, the bishops mailed a blank bal lot to each member of tho last general conference, nnd were guided by the re turns In making the appointment. The highest number of votes was cast for George M. Matthews, D. D and he was accordingly designed bishop pro tern. , SUNDAY-SCHOOL LESSON FOR AUGUST 10 NADAB AND ABIHU. Xev. x: 1-11. BY REV. J. T. GILBERT, D. D. SecrtUrjr oj American Society ot Relljrlout Education. CONTRXT. It was a high duy when the tuhcrnaclo, tho girt of tho people, was set up in- tho wilderness, to bo the place .of tho, Dlvlno presence, whero worship was appointed to be publicly conducted. When Moses and Aaron came forth to bless the people, the assembly shouted for Joy uiul all fell on their fuces In token 'of their humility. Nothing of this sort had, ever been witnessed In Israel, it was the beginning of that now dispensation which should promote tho spiritual wcl faro of tho posterity of Abraham down to tho coming of Messiah, a period of III- A little Girl's life Saved by Cham berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea.

Westley Saunders wero at tho house nt the time whoa the doctor told tlem that their little daughter would not recover, Mr. Saunders told his wife that he knew Chamberlain's Colic, Qholera and Diarrhoea Remedy would cure the child and ho at once secured a bottle and with the consent of her parents gave the little sufferer u dose of It, The baby at once went to sleep and when she awoke the next morning Was out of dunger, This happened al most three years ago.. The child Is liv ing and well today, and Mr. and Mrs. Blue feel very' grateful towards the manufacturers of this great remedy. It is -for sale by all druggists. teen centuries. Hopes were kindled In all hearts. The unity and perpetuity of tho nation were Involved, and tho high pur poso of God was to be served In ntul hy the methods of tho tnbcrnar.lo. Withal the forms and ceremonies there to bo In troduced wero most ot them lyplcnl of tilings to come In tho new dispensation when Messiah should appear and conduct mora spiritual worship by simpler meth ods.' Thcso wero thercforo good reasons for entering with reverence Into that which had been appointed. Tho priests were responsible for proper behavior. orFKNSE. Ono would hardly expect that on tho day following tho Joyous ser vices of tho tahornaelo sin would ngaln appear In Israel. But tho perversity of human nature was destined to exhibit it self again. Nndab and Ahlhu, tho first and second born of the four sons of Aaron (Numbers, 111, 2-t), took their cen sers, put Inconso therein, and offered strango flro before tho Lord. In this they committed- sevcrnl offenses. It Is not prnbablo that Inconso might bo offered at nil tlmo (Leviticus, xvl, 1-3). Besides, tho priests wero to servo singly and by turns. (Luke, 1, 9.) Neither had thcso two a right to enter the tabernnclo that was tho privilege of Moses nnd Aaron only, and they wero only assistants to tho latter, to follow his Instructions. (Le viticus, Ix, 12-23). Moses had the custody ot tho lnccnso (Exodus, xxxlx, 3S), nnd, as, their act wns Irregular, they took some not consecrated (Kxodus, xxx, 9), and, for burning It, they took lire that had not been on tho altar. (Revelations, vlll, 5.) All this was a rash, Irreverent nnd con temptuous treatment of sacred things. AVhy did they act thus? Wo may not discern their motives. Many conjectures have been made. The more common opinion is that they were proud of tho new honor that had come to them, as If they had forgotten that they wero sinful men, subordinates to the high priest, sub ject to law. PUNISHMENT. A fearful visitation, from God came upon theso men while they were offering Incense. Flro came forth nnd struck them both down dend. This fire whs the symbol ot Divine pres ence and wrnth. (Deuteronomy, iv, 21,) On tho day beforo It consumed the sacri fice. Now it Is directed toward the of llct.'ttlng priest. Other cases of Its de stroying power arc recorded. (Numbers, xvl, 35.) To us this seems to have been a severe punishment. We might bu dis posed to plead that these young men were Inexperienced, hnvlng been but lit tle tlmo in office; that they wero eiltled to another trial, or at least time to re pent; thnt because of their relation to Moses and Aaron and because only two priests would be left, they ouglit to have been spared; that It was n pity to tako them away childless (Numbers, 111, 4), nnd so cut oft their name forever. But wo must remember that God had declared His purpose to destroy Individual trans gressors (Exodus, xxxll, 33), so that there had been nmplo warning. Their position ought not to shield them, the moro exalt ed the offender, the greater should be the penalty. Furthermore, the Israelites wero under schooling. A few days before they went over to Idolatry. They must now by a severe lesson, not likely to be forgotten (Numbers, xxvl, Gl), be made to know God's purpose to secure obedience nnd reverence, without which Ills plan for this people can never bo accom plished. REASON. This great calamity tho Instant death ot two priests while In tho tabernacle engaged In service must havo produced great consternation among all classes. What did it mean? Tho ques tion doubtless was upon every lip. Moses, the servant nnd mouthpiece ot God. steps forward to explain. With tho utmost calmness and simplicity he vindicates God and lays bare the offense which 'has thus awakened Ills wrnth. Ho speaks to Aaron, his brother, who. as father of tho deceased, was most afflicted, and who, as high priest, needed to understand this sad event. "This Is In accordance with tho Lord's own utterance." ho said, re ferring probably to several declarations. AVhat were they? "t will bo sanctified In them that como nigh me." that Is, tho priests, "that I may bo glorified beforo all tho people." (Exodus, xlx. 22.) It was not to be expected thnt religion among tho masses would rench any higher plain than It did among the ministers. So In after years (Isaiah, 111, 11) holy men of fering holy service In a holy place (Ezeklcl, xlll, 13), Is the best guarantee of popular religion. Aaron listened to his brother's words and hold his peace. BURTAL. Tho bodies ot the dead must be removed from tho tnbernaclo and burled. Moses gave Instructions concern ing this matter, that wero calculated to observo tho proprieties of tho place and the occasion, minister somewhat to tho feelings of the bereaved, and protect the causo of God against any ovlls that might arise. Michael and Ellzaphnn (Exodus, vl, 32), sons of Uzzlel, Aaron's uncle, wero called to conduct tho funeral rites. It wns proper that they should havo charge, because, being Levites (Numbers, I, 47-50), their business was to take care of the tabernacle, and, consequently, to re movo from It anything not properly be longing In it. They proceeded to dls chargo their duty in a quiet, unostenta tious manner. Thoy carried the bodies out of the camp (Luke, vll, 24), becnuso thoy could not bo burled within. (Acts, v, .) And thoy wero laid away In their priest's coats, thus 'signifying that their oftico perished with thorn. The wholo ceremony was well suited to express humblo submission to God, to show duo regard for the tabernacle nnd Its Insti tutions, nnd withal, to lay the dead awuy with decent respect. MOURNING. In thoso days ns now, enstorn people were extravagant In their expression of sorrow. Tho hopo of an other life did not Illumine tho gravo, and death In any form was regarded a calam ity. (II Samuel, xvlll, 33.) On this occa slon Moses Interfered, that tho mourning might not in any wlso disturb tho re ligious Interests of tho congregutlon. Aaron nnd his two soni wero forbidden to join In tho demonstrations of grief, Thoy wero not to go out of tho taber nacle, or to rend their clothes (Exodus, xxvlll, 42-43), or to uncover their heads; that Is, remove their bonnetB. (Exodus, xxvlll. 40 ) Tho reason assigned for this Interdiction was that tho anointing oil wns upon them (Exodus, xxlx, 7), that Is, they had been consecrated to tho priest hood, and thoy must not leavo tho duties of their otllce, even to bury a son or brother. This wus afterwards enacted as a permanent law (Leviticus, xxl, 1, 10-12; Numbers, vl, 7.) Tho service of tho sanc tuary must not bo suspended. Tho priest must bo a constant Intercessor .(Num bers, xvl, ICJ So was tho prophet In af ter centuries. (Ezoklcl, xxiv, 10-17.) And Moses gave a solemn warning, "Lest yo die," and, fearing that thoy should bo visited us Nndab and Ablhu had been, tho father and brother obeyed. But while theso three wero not permitted, the peo ple gave forth their walling for tho dead after tho oriental habit, and the whole somo Instructions of God wus Impressed upon tho popular mind und conscience, INTOXICANTS.-Kvcry new experience furnished opportunity for fuller Instruc tion. Whenevor the people displayed weakness or sin, God mado them know moro of His power and hollnoss. Hence, the religion of the Bible Is progressive, advancing as mun Is able to apprehend the ways of God. And so tho sin of Na dab and Ablhu furnished a, favorable oc casion for the announcement ot a new law, Tho Lord spoke directly to Aaron and charged him and his sons not to use wine or strong drink when they went Into the tabernacle. That was made a per petual statute. The ronpo-i ?! h that they might ho ablo to distinguish be tween the holy nnd unholy, ami that" they might bo qualified to teach tho people. (Deuteronomy, xx, 8.) Hero In a plain recognition of tho evil Influence of In toxicants. A priest needs a clear mind nnd must abstain. (Mnlnchl, II, 7.) Noth-, lug Is said concerning thcso drinks nt other times. In thin Instance tho purpose Is, not to protect tho Individual, but tho ordinances of religion. Somo havo In ferred, and tho Inference Is natural, that Nndab and Ablhu were Intoxlcnled. But this may havo been a precaution' tnken without rofcrcnco to them. Tho law thus Instituted Is accomplished by tho warn ing, "Lest ye die." It furnishes an Im portant chapter In tho Blblo Idea of tem porifncc. CONCLUSION. Bishop Hull makes this highly aprcclatlvo comment: "In tho ser vice of God It Is n dangerous thing to do clltio from Ills own Institutions. Wo have to do with a God who Is wise to prescribe His own worship, Just to re quire what Ho has prescribed, und pow erful to revongo what He has not pro scribed." It Is a gravo responsibility which they tissumo who conduct public worship (I Corinthians, xlv, 40), and they who attend, ns well as they who minister, ought to take heed to their manner nnd spirit.

Tho opening deal ings In the market today showed thnt tho glamor of supposed plan for merger of Uouthorn trunk Hues railways had taken hold upon tho Imagination ot the specu lative world and most of tho stocks which were violently affected yesterday Blurted oft on n ficsh upward, movement today. But It also became quickly ovldcnt that tho movement, was overrunning Itself; Either tho clcslro to take profits or tho belief that prices had been lifted to abOvo the Intrinsic valtto of stocks led to prompt reactions in Loulsvtllo und Nashville, Il linois Central und conspicuously in Hocking Valley. Tho last named stock lost Its opening rlso of this morning nnd nil of yesterday's sensational gain ns well. Tho reaction was not so violent In othor stocks although Rock Island developed a heavy tono and Colorado Fuel became weak with considerable sentimental ef fect upon the general list, It cannot bo said that tho reaction In tho southern group materially altered tho genet ul conviction In tho street thnt Important developments aro Impending regarding tho group. Th o difficulty encountered by Louisville In Its advance above 150 was attributed to tho fact that that Is the llg lira ut which tho option Is supposed to bo hold by J. P. Morgun & Co. to buy tho control of tho rond. Somo of tho largest selling of the southern trunk lines was by brokers usually employed by tho specula tive leader whoso publicly proclaimed "bullishness" wns a forerunner ot yes terday's violent advances, Probably somo disappointment ' was felt because tho of ficial announcement of tho ncqulsltlon of tho Chicago and Eastern Illinois by tho St. Louis nnd San Francisco contained no roforenco to tho further extensive projects which are supposed to lie back of that operation. In fact no official countenance could bo secured from any source of yes terday's many rumors. Among the now points of strength tho most conspicuous und most Influential was that in tho Erlo stocks. No reuson was forthcoming for their advanco beyond a revival of old ru mors of largo holdings In tho property by J. J. Hill and plans for Its Improve ment by that capitalist. The rise In Amalgamated Copper seemed to bo pure ly speculative in Its origin. Other points of strength wero tho Colorado and South ern stocks, Texas and Paclllc and a num ber of minor ntock3. Totnl sales for tho day, 595,100 shares. Tho bond market was dull and Irregular. Total sales, par value, $1,175,000.
