Our Military Achievements Astonish
the English.

The new edition of the "Ency clo-
pedia Brittanica" contains an article
on the American Army, in which is
the following paragraph concerning
our American Army and it's achieve
ments in the late war:
sThe military history of the United
States is as strange as the rise and
the rapid growth of the nation. In
1890 the rank and file of the army,
as fixed by act of Congress, amount
ed to 1915 men; and in 1914 an
Eoglisb expedition of 3 500 men was
able to seize and burn Washington,
the capital of a country which even
then numbered eight millions of in
habitants In 1861, at the commence
ment OF the war OF the secession, the
whole regular force amounted to only
IA 900 men. In April of that year
the President called out rs, 900 volun-
teers for three months to defend the
capital, which was threatened and
in May further call for $4,000 Was
made. In July two calls for 500 900
each were authorized By Congress,
and even this vast force proved in
n tficient for the gigantic struggle
which America had now embarked in
t was found necessary TO introduce
the c0nscriotion. In October, 1868,
levy of 100000 was ordered and 10
february 1864 further call OF 500
900 was male. Finally, in the be-
ginning Of 1865 two farther levies,
amounting in all to 100000 men,
we're ordered, but were only partially
carried out in consequence of the
cessation of hostlite3. The total
number of men called under arms by
The government of the United State~
between April, 1861 ana April, 1865
mounted to 1852 049, Of whom q
$50, 053 were actually embodied 10
ne armies. If to these be added l..
100 900 men embodied by the South
,rn States during he same time, the
Total armed forces reach the enor-
nous amount of nearly four millions,
irawn from population of only
thirty-two millions-figures before
which the celebrated uprising of the
French nation in 1893, or the recent
forts Of France and Germany in the
war OF 1901, sink into insignifi-
canoe. And within three years the
whole of these vast forces were
peaceably disbanded and the army
nad shrupk to a nominal strength Of
only 10000 men.

RELIGIOUS. - WU give DeiOW re-
port of the Wisconsin series of union
gospel meeting for 1875 e:
In view of strong desire coming from
various parts of the State for revival efforts,
we are moved to enter upon series of union
gospel meetings similar to those held with such
marked results in Iowa, Illinois, Vermont,
and especially in Massachusetts,, which are now
entering upon their 9Th annual series.
Our plan embraces the State time, not less
than months two meetings will be held each
week A general programme is suggested, to
be modified by the wants of each locality visit
ed. We are glad to announce that the services
of X. A. Burnell, whose lnbors have been so
signaly blessed in other States, have been
secured for the entire series. His wide ex-
perence and past success, together with his
singleness of purpose and earnest desire to
honor God, we are sure, will command him to
the confidence of all. 1t is expected that one
or more experienced workers will accompany
him
Now we ask the Christian people of the
State with at once and with all
their hearts, upon this work. God is ready
| and waiting Let US wait no longer. viii

How TO CREATE Bus NESS. An
old merchant, whose ample fortune
was acquired by judicous adverLls>
ing, says:
1t is thought absurd for man to
'it and wait for trade. Micaw bers
in business do not, in fact, make
large fortunes. "But" say sou
men,"I cannot leave my store to go
about and stir up trade" Perhaps,
indeed, he cannot, but be can send
out his winged m sssengers of enter =
prise in the shape of sucb lively ad-
vertisements as vii canse people to
"stop and talk" with him before buy

good scouts and first-rate skirmishers.
One cannot easily get away from
the effect of advertising. If a man
advertises that his stock is fresh and
fashionable, it is difficult to believe
that be has not really a finer stock
than those who do not so advertise.
This influence of advertising affects
the natural qualities OF human be-
ing, and may BE- safely appealed 10.
