CHURCH SOCIABLES.

CHICAGO, Sept. 21.-Church sociablcs under
right management might be one Of the most ef-
fcctive means OF leading young men to 9 Chris
tan life, and in encouraging those already
Christians. attended one the other night, and
as entered the door I found the people en-
gagged in listening to some dull literary exer-
cises, which were interesting only to the three
OF four boys and girls engaged III speaking.
After this was ended, it was announced that the
remainder OF the evening would be devoted to-
sociability and ice cream,-the latter item being
especially adapted to drive away all the poorer
class, and to throw a wet blanket over all the
vouug men in the house. To make the last
item more attractive, and thus gently WOO the
ifnpccunious to come again, the cream sold at a
high price. THIS was q sly way Of extracting
charity, and was well enough for those who
could afford it, but when it is considered that
the object Of church soclaolc Is TO get all
classes Ut people-peuuilcss and otherwise-to
mingle together In Christian fellowship, it look
cd great deal like hypocrisy, and thought
surely the preacher who sanctioned this
indirect way Of extorting charity would not

the Sabbath before, the preacher invited all
strangers to attend the sociable and get ac-
qoainted. Many accepted the invitation Those
VINO were well acquainted mingled together,
: aud left all strangers, for whom the affair was
ostensibty gotten up, to shift for themselves.
Most OF them did so,-by retreating to the near
est corner, and looked like sheep prepared for
until they became very weary OF getting ac-
Quainted in that way, and sheep1shly picked up
lnetr mats and sneaked ont, curslng the church
as miserable sham,-a conclusion perhaps not
very wise, but certainly justified In TINT partic-
ular instance by the reception they had receiv-
ed. Again, our worldly-wisc pastor will say:
"Thcy should have been more sociable; should
have eyinced desire to get acquainted" In
Just what way total strangers, and bashful at
that, could have eyinced desire more than
their coming there to get acquainted fail to

know It is hard matter to entertain large
crowd SO that none shall grumble at lack Of at
tention, but would it not be good idea for
pastors to bestow less work on dull scrmous
which convert no one, aud give more time
to dcvising ways and means-such as games
and congenial parties OF fours and fiVes in
genionsly brought together and made to feel at
home In the church parlors. Once you nuke
young man in large city like Chicago feel that
provide profitable amusement for him, and you
will have done more than fifty sermons would
accomplish in winning him to Christ.
But, pshaw! how many pastors can be made
to act upon this sugggestiona They furnish the
sociable, such as it is,-aud then turn their
attention to getting all the money they can out
OF the poor fellows who are green enough to at
tend their sociables. GEO.

Canadian Pacific Railway.

An important event in connection
with surveys Of the Canadian Pacific
railway has occurred. Those surveys
first began in the summer OF 1870:
one from the valley Of Ottawa OH one
side, and from British Columbia on
the other. The government has re-
ceived kilograms from Battle River,
a station on the Pacific telegraph line
in the Saskatchewan country, announ-
cling the important fact that surveys
had ut last been connected. The
point Of connection is in latitude 81
deg. 6 min. 3G sec. north, longitude
113 deg. min. 45 sec. west. These
chains of accurate instrumental meas
urcments are the first of the kind that
have ever been made between the AT.
lantic and Pacific within limits Of the
dominion. Application will be made
to Parliament at its next session for
AT, act to incorporate a company tc
construct a railway tunnel under De
itroit River near Amherstburg, aud fol
other purposes.
