WE notice large additions reported to
Hanson Place 3abtlst Church, Brooklyn
N. Y. the church in which Rev. G. f. PEN
tlcost is pastor.
THE Christian AdUo ate for last week re-
ported total of over 3 600 conversions in
revIvals connected with Methodist church

vivals in Cincinnati and vicinity Will re-
salt In the addition OF from 1000 to 1900 to
the churches.
TIE New York Independent says:
Plymouth church, Brooklyn, has not
quite given up its creed, after all. The
vote in substance was that members
should be taken in on the covenant and
not on the creed. Mr.. Bsecher says in de-
fence OF this action that such was the ear
Iy practice In New England, the general
practice of the late Old School Presbyte-
rfan body, and of most of the Baptist
Churches. A subsequent church meeting
has resolved that the articles of faith are
still held by the church, and that when
ever the views of q candidate for admis-
sion differ from those of the articles OF
faith the committee be instructed to re-
port to the church the amount Of diverg-

THE following article we copy by
request from the american Church
man. Tt will, no doubt. prove very
interesting to many Of our readers !:
Rev. ThOs. BeccheP on the Church.
The Rev. Thomas Beecher, of Ell
mira, New York, brother of Henry
Ward Beecher, and pastor of Con-
gregational Church in Elmira, lately
delivered lecture In that city, upon
the Protestant Episcopal Church.
After giving brief outline of the
history of the Church of England,
and of the succession derived from
that Church by our own, he said, as
we find the lecture reported In the
EImira Gazette:
After this brief outline of her
history it remains that | note some of
her excellent uses and beauties.
/. The Episcopal Church offers for
our use the most venerable liturgy In
the English tongue. The devotional
treasures of the Roman Catholic
Church are embalmed and buried in
Latin. But IN English, there are no
lessons, gospels, psalms, collects. con-
fessions, thanksgivings, prayers-in
one word, no religious FORM BOOK
that can stand a moment in eompari-
son with the prayer book of the Epis-
copal Church In the twofold quality
of richness and age.
The proper name, because truly de-
scriptive, for this church, would be
CHURCH OF THE PRAYER-BOoK. As
Il the way with all other churches, so
here the church champions and lead
ers have many wise things to say
about the church and her preroga-
tive. But the pious multitude that
frequent her courts are drawn thIther
mostly by loYe of the prayers and
praises, the litanics and lessons OF the
prayer book.
And, brethren of every name, L
certify you that you rarely hear in
any church, a prayer spoken IN Eng
lish, that is not indebted to the
prayer book for some of its choicest
periode.
And further, doubt whether life
has in store for any Of you an uplift
so high, or downfall so deep. but that
you can find company for YOUR soul
and fitting words for your lips among
the treasures of this book Of common
prayer.
In all time of our tribuldtton; IN oil
time of our prosperity; IN he hour Of
death, and an the day Of judgment.
Good Lord de3iger as.
As q consequence of the prayer
book and its use note:
2. The Episcopal church preserves
q very high grade of dignity. decency,
propriety, and permanence, in all her
public Offices.
In nearly every newspaper you may
read some funny story based upon the
ignorance or eccentricity or blasphe
nous familiarity OF some extcmpo-
~.

WHAT HoRsEs BRrNG.-Horses of great
reputation have always commanded great
prices. At Newmarket, in 1905, bay colt
By Pipato, sold for 5000. In the same
year q two year old by Sir Volunteer, and a
three year old illy by Sir Peter, were sold
for S75. 900 each. For the celebrated horse,
Shark, S50,000 was refused, and O'Kelly de-
clined an offer Of 100000 for his stallion
Eclipse. Tradition says the Duke of Devon
shire refused for Flying Childers the weight
of the horse in gold. A few years ago, the
great sire Stockwell could not be bought for
500, 900, and we presume that when Glada-
tuer was carrying everything before him on
the English turf, the Count de Is Grange
would not have parted with him for $3.50, 900.
Coming to America, we find that nearly Sl5,-
600 we're paid for Lexington. and that bis son
Kentucky. was sol! for $40 900. Mr.. Alexan-
der refused $4,000 for Asteroid. Kentucky's S
half brother. and Norfork, Gnother half brotn-
er. was valued at $40, 600. Mr.. Bonner paid
S35. 900 for Dexter. and offers 100000 for
one that can equal Dexter's wagon time.

OUR yroUNraTN HOMES.


The glad, green earth beneath our feet,
The blue, bright heaven is greeting;
And voieeless praise is rising up,
Responsive 10 the meeting.
Yet wherefore wakes scene like tins
The warm hearts wild emotionF
The slave may boast home as bright
Beyond the pathless ocean.
Why do we love our mountain land!
The mrrmuring Of her waters.
Italia's Cline is far more bland.
More beautiful her daughters
Why pine We for our native skies,
Our cloud encircled mountains!
The hills of Spain. as proudly rise.
As freshly burst her fountains
Alas for mount or classic stream.
By deathless memories haunted
For there Oppression, unrebuked,
His iror foot hath planted.
The curse is on her yine-clad hills,
'Tis rife upon her waters:
But dcubly deep upon her sons.
And on her dark-eyed daughters.
Go fling a fetter DER the mind,
And bid the heart be purer;
Unnerve the warriors lifted arm,
And bid his aim be surer |;
Go bid the weary, prisoned bird
Unfnrl her powerless pinon =
Bnt ask not of the mind to brook
The despot's dark dominion
Why turn we 10 our mountain homes
With more than filial feeling!
'Tis here that Freeiom's aliars rise.
And freedoms sons are kneeling,
Why sigh We not fer softer elimes.
But cling to that which bore us;
'Tis here we tread on Freedoms soil,
With Freedoms sunshine DER us.
This is her home-this is her home,
The dread ofthe oppressor;
And this her haliowed biz thday is,
And millions rise to bless her
IT'S joys high Sabbath; grateful hearts
Leap gladly in their fountains.
And bless our God, who fixed the home
OF Freedom in the mountains

THINNING OUT GRAPEs.-Is the inheritance
of thinning ont the frait of the vine duly con-
sldered by the majority of cultivators? |
think not. From close observation, and even
sad experience the subject, in nv opinion.
calls for much more attention than is usually
given. In young vines this is particularly
the case. SIch vigorous and hardy copstitn-
ted varieties as the Concord NAV stand il.
but eten they viii eventually suffer. This
fault is not only to be found in the VINEYARDS
of the novice, but can be. seen almost eyery-
where, in charge of those who know better.
This then being admitted, the next question
is; how shall it be renedied !? Shall we
prune it so much shorter. so as MOTTO leave more
wood than the vine can carry safely through.
or leave more wood, end then thin out the
lunches? The latter, in my opinion, will be
the best; for, by tho first plan, we get our
fruit too much crowded aud throw too much
force into the young canes for the following
years bearing. My impression is that when
a wire pruned to what would seem about
right. the pincEing out of every third bunch,
at the first operation, pinching back would
be the method. would leave but two bunch
es ON each bearing shoot and in some in
stances il is better to leave but one. We all
know the, forming of the seed of any fruit il
the heaviest tax on the plant. This being
the case, do we not give considerable relief
when we diminish this tax one-third? l
think we would be safe in counting on hav-
ing the same weight of fruit in the two bunch
es as if three are left. Some years ago we
grew Concord lunches in this way, which the
committee, Who were to test them would not
admit to be that variety until they tested
them. For marketing table grapes this il
particularly practicable. For instance, let
one man take Concords that will average
three-fourths of pound to the bunch, and
another have them as usually grown, and my
word for it. the large bupches will comn'and
nearly double price, not only among the
wealthy but the Masses Grape CaHurisf.

TWENTY YEARS WITHOUT SEEING MINIS
TER.-A Methodist minister was on his trav-
els through the west of Illinois twenty wears
ago. Illinois was wild place then. He
travelled twenty miles one day before coming
to farm house. But there he was received
with hospitality. Chicken pot-pie and corn
dodge composed his supper. but to hungry
matt these are n, good as truffied turkey. A
fine old grandmother of the house was most
profuse in her hospitality. She pressed the
pot.pie on the holy mans plate till he could
eat no more. And then, when the family
were gathered around the great log-chimney
and its blazing fire, the venerable dame open
ed her mouth, end thus spake: "Ah, we'll
a-dav it's q great comfort to have minister
of the gospel in these parts. It's twenty
wears agone now since have seen one on en-.
I've been a readin o. my Bible all that time,
and waitin' to see a minister to Ak him a
question about suthin' don't rightly under
stand" MADAM" said the cautiohs minis
ter. 81 am so tired with my long ride that
could not enter into a serious question till
have slept but if you will ask me tomorrow
morning, before set out, will answer it to
the best of nv ability" The old lady ex-
pressed herself satisfied, and the cunning
minister secured soft couch for the night
The next morning grandma was up early. and
hard at work frying slaniacks for the minis
ter's breakfast. This last being despatched,
the old lady was st;ll in a nervous fidget
about her question. while the holy man s
horse was saddled and brought to the door.
After adjusting his saddle-bags and shaking
hands with all the family. he mounted his
horse, and turning to her asked: "And now,
madam, what is your question ?" tWaal,
minister" said she, 'yer know how it sez in
the Bible. thst arter Elisha was made a
prophet, the heavens opened and Elijah was
taken ur to heaven in chariot and horses of
fire. It's better nor twenty year sim 1 seed
that ere in the Bible. and have puzzled over
it ever since an there amt soul roun' these
diggings knows more nor l. But you're a
minister o the gospel. an ought to know oil
them things. Now what want to know is
this: Did the Lord take up Elijah right
slick to heaven. or didn't he go kinder SLAM
tendicular?'' % History has not recorded the
minister's reply.
