A New Sort Of Sunday Service,

The Rev. Frede rick Silver, of the church
of England, was some twenty years ago
preaching in parish in Shropshire, which
was noted for drunkenness and vice. Having
some wealth at command, he determined on
making a bold stroke for reform. He found
Sunday the worst day in the week, and de-
cided that he must bring what forces he could
to bear on that day. Some Of his flock sug-
gested prayer meetings, and other religious
services for the heundermining of Satan and his
power. But Mr.. Silver took another tack
For many weeks peculiar looking boxes and
cases were daily landed at the door, exct ing
the curiosity of the neighbors. Finally, one
bright morning the people of that vicinity
found the walls and trees all about pacarded
with the announcement that Mr. Slver would
open museum to the public the next Sun
day afternoon. This set many good parsons
and deacons to groaning. The roughs bright
ened up and crowded to hear Mr.. Silver
preach the next Sunday morning, when he
related how he thought that he had found
the need CT the town. In the afternoon they
all crowded to the museum, A hundred fine
paintings were displayed; a model of the
Alhambra in Spain; specimens of cocoons
at work, and the 1856 colors which silk can
take; fine model of an elephant from a
palace in Delhi; cases of English coins from
William the Conqueror to Victoria; antique
watches and jewelry; autographs of great
men; pathological collections, including
Australian specimens; different costumes
boots, shoes, nets, implements, weapons, etc
from New Zealand, Madagascar North
America, Africa, China and India.
Mr.. Silyer's catalogue showed his devotion
to his project. He must have exhausted his
own means, and levied contributions on 9th
er sources. The thing has been going On
now for over fifteen years; and the result is
that that "lawless parish is now one Of the
seat in Mr.. Silver's church is occupied; the
cottages in the place are so large and hand

borers live in this village?''

A general war is waging against the use Of
states in the schools of Germany. There is
scarcely any sound more offensive to the hu-

the slate, and when this is multiplied by num-

tremely injurious to the nerves of many
children, and to leave evil influences for life.
