10 322 showing an increase OF 757 This increase IL
not, OF course. very great, and the reasons as
signed by DIR. Brown for the smallness OF the num-
bers were, 1lrst the Millerite excitement which
embraced the years 1896 All other churcnes
ielt the influence OF this excitement, but not all to
the same extent that the Methodist churches felt
1t. Indeed, ne believed some OF the churches have
not recovered from the shock TO this day. Hence

FALLING OFF,
In 1855, however, the churches began TO rally.
The secession OF the Wesleyan body IN 1913 and the
greater secession OF the Methodist Episcopal
Church South in 1874 on the slavery question were
other causes OF the decline OF Methodlsm about this
period. 1t must he remembered, also, that in 1S45

The increase between 1872 aud 1878 appears 20 be

for some of the falling of In Methodist statistics.
A COMPARISON.

figures stand thus In $780, Presbyterians, S926;
Methodists. 3,995 In 1872, presbyJerians 1919;
Methodists, ll,lS6; showing o much larger per-

1872 The missionary collections, too or 1872 by
the churches OF this chy arc nearly three times rs

VI course, no time was lost in repairing
the track and in forwarding the passen-
gers and a few hours after saw the old
farmhouse as quiet and peaceful looking
as ever. Even the surgeon had done his
work and gone. The engine lay battered
and helpless among the boulders where it
had forced its wilful way The conductor
lay still on Grandfather Crowninshield's 5
bed, aud the fitful slumbers the surgeons
opEtte gave were starry with signals that
white fingers held up before his dreaming
eyes. As for Katie and her lantern. the
latter had fairly burned itself out and
asleep on the little table in Katie's own
room, and she herself had by no means
clearly comprehended, as yet, the happy
consequences of her railway signaling. 1t
was very much like a dream to her. for
Katie was no prophecies, nor could even
the lantern throw any light upon the fl-
ture. She could not see, just then, and
yet the days that followed brought it all to
pass, that neither she herself nor grand
father and grandmother CrowninShield
would consent to any more r~ilroading or
signaling. 1t was much better indeed,
they declared, nor did he himself pretend
to deny it, that Katie's husband should
farm broad acres Of the fertile valley than
that he should any more be at the mercy
of train-wreckers and wayside- lanterns
And when the question was decided to her
liking. such hug and kiss was that which
Katie Crowninshield gave.

NEwsPAPERs.-Their value is by no
means appreciated, but the rapidity with
which people are waking up to their ne
cessity and usefulness is one of the siggyifi-
cant signs Of the times. Few families
are now content with one newspaper. Tie
thirst for knowledge is not easily satisfied.
and books, though useful, yea, absolutely
necessary in their place, fail to meet the
demands of youth OF age. Our country
newspaper is eagerly sought and its con
tents as eagerly devOured then comes the
demand for the city news, national and
foreign news. Next to the political come
the literary and scientific journals. All
these are demanded to satisfy the cravings
of the active mind.
Newspapers are also valuable to mate
rial prosperity. They advertise the village,
county and locality. They spread before
the reader map on which may be traced
character, design and progress. II Il
stranger calls at hotel he first inquiries
for the village newspaper if j friend
comes from q distance the very next thing
after family greetings, he inquiries for your
