AN APPROPRIATE HYMN.-At the re-
cent dedication of Baptist church in
Gcnesee county, n. Y, the ceremony of
immersion was performed for the first
time in that church by we'll known
Baptist minister. When he had enter
ed the water, and while waiting for the
candidate. the minister suggested that
somebody should sing an appropriate
hymn. One of the deacons, who stood
near by, heard the suggestion. and,
without thinking, struck up the familiar
hymn, Pull for the Sbore." The hymn
proved to be so suggestive that neither
the minister nor congregation could re
frain from an audible smile for some
time, and the ceremony had to be post
poned until the preacher could recover
his gravity

Register, a history of the orphan asylums
of Bristol, England, which, in answer
to prayer, were established and have
been maintained forty years without
asking support from any one. His text
was:
"And whatsoever we shall ask in my
name, that will [ do, that the Father
may be glorified in the Son. If We shall
ask anything in my name I will do it"
JOHN XIV: Is. IA.
Mr.. Muller stated that when he first
thought Of this enterprise he was with
out means of any kind and that, in an
.swer to prayer, God had furnished all
the means required. Beginning with
one rented house, capable of holding less
than one hundred orphans, other houses
were rented and filed; until finally. be-
lieving that God would supply the
means for the erection and furnishing
of suitable buildings for the accommoda-
ton of more children, in answer to pray
er, donations poured in, and he was en-
abled to erect the present buildings, at a
cost of more than 100000, and in which
over 1000 orphans are yearly provided
for-fed, clothed, and educated-and
places secured for them in Christian
families after they become of sufficient
age, to fill positions as mechanics,
teachers, etc. He also stated that more
than 10000 children. scattered all over
the world, have reaped the benefits of
this institution. He has also establish
ed a large number of schools in different
parts of the world, and through the same
agency, more than 60, 900 900 copies of
books and tracts have been distributed,
and thousands of copies of the Bible cir
culated. Since the founding of this asy-
lum upwards of s., O0O,0 in cash dona-

there was no state appropriation. This fact
did not seem to cut much of figure in the

the expenses which he admits should be
