A man In Pennsylvania has inven-
ted rat-trap that is made to operate
upon the selfish passions of the poor
rat, and lure him into trouble. A mir
ror set in the back part of the device,
beyond the bait, and as his ratship is
out on foraging expedition he espies
the bait; at the same times believes
his own image in the mirror to be an.
other rat making for 1t on the oppos'
ite side. This is too much for rat na'
ture to stand and be cool over; so he
rushes for the bait and is caught. This
is the theory. What the practice is
we are not informed.

the Petersburg Democratic organ, the

CIRCULATION OF THE STAR.
A German Mission for Moody and
SankRv.

1t would really seem that the great field OF
labor for the Moodys and Sankey's of the
time is TO be found In Germany. II is stated
IN the London Times that ones sixth of the
Protestant benefices in Prussia on becoming
vacant, will remain vacant for want of can
didates. The theological candidates in the
universities OF Prussia were 40 in 1873
against pos in 1881. This state of things, it
Is asserted, is occasional by growing in
difference TO religion. Candidates fall off
because they find their occupation gone.
Various reasons are given for this state of
affairs. For one thing the State Church has
been too secular. The Government has I'M
dertaken to make religion too subservient
to its own interests. Cabinet orders have
had so much to do with matters which be-
long TO spiritual conviction, that principle
in the matter has been sacrificed to- political
expediency. Religion rebels al this, and
SCORER than be an underling will be nothing
at all.
In the next place, according to a recent
writer. religion is taking revenge for having
been too much Analysed by the inquisitive
German mind. She has been so often sub
jected 10 the me!ting-po and blow pi pc that
she prefers TO stand aside. Bearing in mind
the maxim that familiarity breeds contempt
she virtually says 10 the rationallzing Ger
mans. "NOw I will take the veil and let yO1
prosecute your inquiries. ScrutiniZe every
thing within your reach. Resolve God and
the world Explain all mysteries. Find
material source for all causes and effects.
Organize society on a scientific basis. Re
pudiate the supernatural, If you have 10
faith in IL; and in the meantime, see what
will come OF having your churches IN
supplied with religious teachers" The sug-
gestiOn is added, that II all the Protestant
benefices in Germany, instead OF sixth
could become vacant, there would be a
chance 10 see whether religion is super
huOus.
But this decline OF faith is noticed in all
the so called Christian nations of the world,
and there was never more OppOTtIEe period
for the labOrs OF evangelists, of the Moody
order, preaching simple downright belief,
then now.
