TIE FRENCH TRADE 'tSTRfKEs The
"strikers" at La Creuzot, France, it appears,
are bent upon mischief. The report is
that they had been doing their best to
provoke a bloody collision with the military,
but that through the judicious conduct of
the officers in charge the troops were
restrained from firing. Louis Napoleon is
well aware that little spark in France now
may kindle great fire, and hence the forbear-
ance of the army. The Emperor is on the
defensive and knows his enemy. Our cable
dispatches, dated in Paris at haif-past seven
o'clock yesterday evening, state the situation
at La Creuzot as being then very serious, and
becoming still more alarming hourly. The
troops were being reinforced. An idea was
floating around to the effect that the outbreak
was, to some extent, produced by foreign in
fuence. This aspect Of the case is serious

Personal Religious Activity.

AS in civil, political, commercial and other
operations of society, go also in religions, the
tendency of this age is to association and asso-
ciated efforts to promote common objects. The
axiom that in union there is strength may,
however, be carried too far and be accepted
too literally, and we fear that in religious
efforts this is so. We hear no more Of the
personal efforis of individual Christians
to lead their friends and acquain-
tances to the Saviour which were go
common half century or century ago.
There are now no Harlan Pages who devote
hours Of each day to personal entreaties with
those whose souls he loved to become Chris
tians. We are altogether too apt to delegate
our duties to the association or the Church or
the minister and to content ourselves with the
assumption that the work is in some way, we
don't care how, attended to. This is grave
error either in business or in religion, and its
baleful effects are often witnessed in CONNER
cial and business enterprises. Personal reli-
gious activity was one Of the most marked
characteristics Of early Christianity, and by it
mainly were converts made from paganism.
1t has been the leading agency in all the great
religious revivals Of the Church, and through
it thousands have been turned from darkness
to light and from the power Of Satan unto God.
The Church of the future is to receive its
largest accessions also by personal efforts.
And the philosophy of it is plain. In minis
tering to congregations personal identity is, to
great extent, lost, so that the preacher can
not utter his reproofs nor urge his reasons for
ness which he can bring to bear upon indi-
viduals in personal conversation. And, con-
sidering these facts, 1t must be admitted that
the pulpit is doing as well as it can under pre-
sent circumstances. Taking two weeks, end
ing February "a and March 26, as examples,
we find in our religious exchanges four thou
sand three hundred and ninety conversions
reported. About one thousand five hundred
Of this number are reported in the Methodist
denomination. Now, if each one of those four
thousand converts should put forth personal
efforts enough to convert but one other in the
course of year, and the whole number should
| repeat these efforts year after year for sim
gle decade we should have one hundred and
| six millions of people protesting Christianity,
instead of about seventy millions, as there are
now. And If the seventy millions throughout
the world should exert similar efforts, and
succeed, the entire human family might be
| converted to God within the same period.
But we cannot hope for any such result so
| long as the individual Is sunk in the COM
| munity or in the congregation.

THE FALL or THE FoRTY-sIxTH STREET
BUILDING inquest was held before
Coroner keenan, yesterday on the bodies OF
the Donnelly family, who were crushed to
death by the fall Of building on Forty sixth
street during the gale last Sunday. The evi.
dence clearly showed that tho building was
defective in construction, frozen mortar being
used, and its foundation being upon u
slanting rock but Coroner keenan,, in
laying down the law to the jury, said
that verdcts Of censure were of no conse-
quence, as the matter must be determined
by civil suit. The jury being thus circum-
scribed in their mode of expressing the indg-
nation naturally aroused by the evidence took
it out in censure Of the wind, which they
blamed with the casualty. Although it was
the general opinion of the witnesses that the
building would not have fallen but for the
gale, it is an equally probable idea that the
wind would not have blown il over but for it's
defective construction, and il there is any law
against the erection of unsafe buildings Coro-
ner keenan, had no right to charge the jury
against censuring the guilty parties.
