Hon. Mr.. Hitchcock moved to strike out the first

His Ex- the Minister OF Finance disputed the
theory of the bill, that forests were necessary to the
production of rain, and proceeded to argue against
it at length.
Hons. Messrs. Carter and Bishop spoke of the
effects on the rains of the destruction of the forests

After a lengthy debate, the bill was indefinitely

Stingy Churches.

GratMtOus preaching makes sell
fish, ignorant, and indolent
churches. A congregation votes
its own destruction when it de-
cidrs to "get along" with a
preacher who costs them little or
nothing and earns just as little us
he gets. A cheap minister is bad
economy. Churches which adopt
this pelicy are invariably in the
background in aIltheir operations.
The congregations are small, and
struggle along late to the place of
Worship. the singing is miserable;
the prayer meetings thin and dull,
the Sunday Schools, if they have
any, of little account, unless con-
Quoted by outsiders, the houses
of worship are badly warmed and
not half-Iighted, the communion
vessels are bottles and common
tumblers, they do nothing for mis-
sions, take but few religious pa
pers, are without books or musical
Instruments in their families, their
children run wild in sin ard folly,l
and general disregard of religion
prevails. In one thing such
churches eXcel-that is, in quar-.
rels. They are usually split into
factions, and abound in commit.
tees. councils, discipline, and ex-
clusions. They fight each other
when they ought to be working to
save souls. exclude members when |
they ought to be gathering them
in, destroy churches when they
might build them up. Hundreds !
of such churches can be found all
over the country, while hundreds
have already become extinct, died !

the wife of well-known citizen

son was about the age of bis step

much more congeniality between
the eloping couple than between
the lady and her legal lord, the

Juvenile Revivals.

That the average child is much

disputed; that said child will
learn much better at home than
at church, is equally true. We
fail to recognize the usefulness of

the juvenile mind toits sins their
especial field of effort. Their one
unvarying method is painfully
like to that described by Jonathan
Edwards as the cause OF his con-
version /: GOD opened the fiery
pit and shook me over the mouth
thereof" 1t is possible that high
ly colored pictures of roasting sin
ners may be productive of piety
(God moves in mysterious way.)
but as a general rule children are
more apt to be scared into copvul-
siohs than into godliness. The
piety which needs to be protected
by fear is Of a pale and sickly cast.
These juvenile revivals are Ger.
