Bad Temper.

There are few things more productive
Of evil in domestic life than thoroughly
bad temper. 1t does not matter what
form that temper may assume, whether
it Is Of q sulky kind that maintains per-
feet silence for many days, or the madly
passionate, which vents itself in absolute
violence. Ill temper at any age is a bad
thing; it never does anybody any good,
and those who indulge in it feel no better
for 1t. After the passion has passed
away one sees that he has been very fool
ish, and knows that others see II too.
Bad temper in the aged, Is, perhaps, the
most trying Of all; it Is indeed a pihable
sight to see the wrinkled cheek Of an old
person aaame with the fires Of anger and
passion. Since anger is useless, and an
unspeakable misery TO It's victims, why
shonld 1t be INDUCED in at all?

"whnt Our Churches Cost u.s."

"Whnt Our Churches Cost u.s."
The publishers Of SeribnSrI Monthly an.
nounco an article in Seribnor under tho
above title, which will be Of interest in
relation to the recent discussion as to
church debts. The theory upon which
large churches are built is that the ex.
penIe for each sitting in large church,
even with a considerable debt, is less per
capita than in a small church without
any debt at all. For instance, the ex.
pepses OF q church in this city seating 500
people will be about $4,000 year, or
$50 per sitting. The cost Of running a
church that will seat 1000 persons, with
funded debt OF 100000, will be about
So, goo a year, or only $40 or Sl2 a sit
ting, or about twenty-five cents for each
person ior each Sabbath in the year.
We are led to this discussion by no.
tice that the Presbyterian Memorial
Church Of New York, Rev. DR., Robinson,
has jus; paid of 100000 Of its debt, and
proposes to carry permanently the re-
muining 100000, charging up the inter.
est $1,000 year. TO running expenses.
As the buildingis designed to seat nearly
1000 people, ii GIlcd to its utmost capa-
city, the charge for interest TO each per.
son would be less than s. year, or about
seven cents Sunday. It ia worthy Of
note that all the pew owners in this
church have surrendered their title 10
their pews, 60 that there is now no privi-
legged class, aud that the latest conner en-
Joys all the privileges and immunities Of
those who have borne the heaviest bur-
dens. The pastor himself has contribu-
ted over $4,000 TO the church building
from the proceeds OF his hymn and tune
books, which had SO wide popularity in
churches Of every name.
