DIR. Hollands editorial suggestions
in late issue of Scri6ner's Monthly, on
what he terms "Thc Average Prayer
meeting" have arrested deserved atten-
ton. The picture which he draws of
dull, proftless hour spent in lifeless reit-
erations is too often realized in the
"stated weekly meeting" 1t is the east
est thing in the world to kill the interest
of gathering for prayer. Sing drawl-
ingly all the verses of hymn to long
meter; extend "few remarks" until the
clock points beyond the half hour; let
some brother pray in vague way for the
world in general and in tedious way for
everybody in particular-this will leave
the meeting so dead that no one will care
to attend again unless from sense of
duty. The remedy that DR.. Holland sug-
gests is not essential and would not avail
in all cases. A good leader with a soul
full of some theme touching everyday
want and living is better than liturgy.
Sing often, and few verses at time.
Speak briefly and to the point. Pray
earnestly and from the heart. Those
who are present will be helped and the
next week you will see new faces and the
vacant seats will be Working
Christian.

Home Missions,

Editor IF G,obe-The meeting of the
American board IN our village the present
week has suggested to our mind an idea of
a benevolent nature, and one that we think
will commend itself to the public gener-
ally, as well as to those most interested.
1t is that the president of cur Home Mis-
sionary Society cause to have placed inside
the entrance to the Congregational church
box, properly labeled with a card, set
ting forth the object of the appeal, for the
reception of such contribution as those
that will be in attendance upon these
meetings may be disposed to make.
The class of people that will be gathered
here at that time will not be strangers to
benevolence. and this local mission will
afford them an opportunity TO express IN a
small way their Acknowledgements for the
hospitality that will be extended them by
everyone. II every person who will attend
these meetings should place in the box the
small sum of five cents, it would amount to
quite large sum in the aggregate, and
would do much toward carrying out the
purpose of this society, in caring for the
needy in our own midst. Especially would
this be timely, being, as we are, on the
threshold of severe winter, when there
bids fair to be a multitude of chances fol-
this mission to lend helping hand.
We hope this idea will be acted upon by
those interested, and if it is, we are conf
dent that it will result in placing hand
some sum in the treasury of a worthy in
stitutlOn- NJ

A spicy correspondent of the Troy Press
has furnished that enterprising journal
several interesting letters, from one OF
which we take the following extract, rela-
tive to the crowd present at the trial:
My limited stock of adjectives is entirely
inadequate to give correct idea of the
crowd demanding admission to hear the
pleas. We are combining ourselves to the
strict truth, in accordance with q custom
happily established when newspapers were
first invented, when we say that an hour
before the opening of the afternoon session
there were not less than two hundred, and
not more than two hundred and five ladies
metaphorically hanging npon the gates of
Justice. endeavOriDg to attract recognition
of their presence there. The speeches were
listened to with breathless attention. The
women, whose acquaintance with the great
principles of legal administration is pro-
verbal, seemed to regard them as the final
and authoritative instructions from the
court to the jury, and were careful not to
lose wo d. They perched upon bench
backs, roasted on the balustrades of the
gallery, climbed, to appearances, upon
each others shoulders, and in the
gallery presented similitudc to a
tall woman at the apex, whose nodding
| plumes quite brushed against the very cell
ing. And yet the position of this lady
must have been enviablc compared with
those at the base of the pyramid. How
ever, there was one place they did not in
wade and that was the judges bench. In
Cleveland we remember, once upon MUIR
der trial, TO have seen fifteen or twenty
| ladies modestly take 'squatter possession"
of the judicial bench, while the Judge
withdrew to its corner, chewing the bitter
end of reflection and mentally exclaiming.
"Save me from my friends" The sheriff
felt the responsibility of an Atlas resting
upon his not too broad shoulders, and
nervously cndeavored to accommodate all
and yet preserve the dignity of the court
room.

On the streets, in stores counting rooms,
and hotel offices, this trial has been the alb
sorbing topic of the week. The full news

portunity of judging and weighing the evil

the court room did not present. At a good
many farm fire"ides, and even in remote
counties, the testimony was more infinitely
comprehended and more logically consid-
cred than by many person who suffered

LETTERS ON CURRENT TOPICS.
Entertainment During tho Ameri-
can Board Meeting.

Editor Rutland Globe: hope to be one
of the favored guests in attendance at the
meetings of the American Board to be held
in Rutland the ensuing week.
We deem this opportunity high privi-
eye, and hope thereby to be strengthened in
all aspirations for good toward our fellow
men. The ''feast of reason" and flow of
christian sympathy from soul to soul, so
characteristic of these gatherings, we
would have shared to the largest possible
extent. Our good friends of Rutland indi-
cate this to be their opinion by their prof
fered hospitality and extended arrange
ments, and therefore in the name of many
we would enter protest against any
ambitious efforts for the entertainment OF
their guests, which might detain them
from par icipation in these same great priv.
ileges. We do earnestly hope, that they
will consider their town rights" in this
matter, and not stay at home in order tc
load their tables with variety of choice
cares and labors incident to these hospitali
ties are heavy enough, it preparations are
simple, and we hope that no unnecessary
time may be expended upon them. 1t is
enough as the Missionary Herald for Sep
TENDER states, "That no larger community
has favored the Board with an invitation.
| A cordial invitation from any one of seye
raj eastern cities would have been grateful
but none came So it lisa noble act il

city last week. The commission consists
of Mr.. Merrill of Vermont, on the part of
the senate, Mr.. flames of Rhode Island, on
the part of the house of representatives.
and George Washington Greene, grandson
of the general. The result of their meeting
has not transpired but it is not doubted that
the work will be assigned to one of the
most eminent of the American scu!ptors.
and that it will he creditable to American
art 1t will be remembered that the mon
ument to Gen. Greene was ordered by the
continental congress as long ago as 1895.
The form of tan equestrian statue-was
adopted, and the resolution reaflirmed at
the last session of congress.
