:
TnE number Of jewish inhabitants OF
Jerusalem since tho beginning Of the
present century has grown from three
hundred to thirteen thousand. The Jews
have bought up almost every old house
that has become vacant, and have built q
great many new ones.
TIE first marriage in Pere lIyacinthe's
church in Paris was celebrated few days
since At present tho Ga!lican Church
has in Paris about two thousand adherents
There is talk OF opening another chapel
of the new faith in the working quarter
OF the FaubonTg ST. Antoine, but q lack
Of funds bars tho way at present. NJ. Car.
rler, who, with Pere llyacinthe, formerly
belonged to the Dominican ORDER has been
lccturing there.
TIE Bishop Of Manchester, preaching
recently at Blackburn, England, remarked
that as there were only -, $50 benetices in
England, while there were 23,OS0 clergy.
men, there must always be large mum.
Der OF unbenefced clergy, and OF the TO-
600 clergymen without benches more
than thousand,had served as Curates for
fifteen years and more, and many would
never be promoted, though they did their
duty faithfully and diligently.
TIE lnterior' does not take hopeful
view OF recruiting for the Presbyterian
ministry:
"The statements made by DR.. Poor, Sec
retary OF our Board OF Education, in its
recent circular, are worthy OF grave and
prayerful consideration on the part OF the
church. UnquestiOnablY there is'a great
falling or in the number OF young men
Offering themselves for the ministry, as
well in the amount OF money contributed
by the church for their education. 1t is
evident that the two deficiencies go 10.
pether, keep paCewith each other, and no
doubt have most intimate connection.
Ii seems that at the present rate OF pro.
ptess our great Presbyterian Church is
not adding us many ministers to her list,
educated by her own institutions every
wear, us she loses by death. This is q fear
Jul deterioration, md ought to be looked
into by all our churches and all our pas
tors"

TIE IJtstcn Christian .ldgocaic says:
"The tendency OF the times upon which
we have fallen is to unsettle everything
in tho domain of christian faith. We are
tauntingy told that it is folly to suppose
that there can be no advance, no new dis.
Coveries OF religious truth; that to settle
down in the faith Of our fathers is evil
dcnce OF intellectual stagnaton, and that
the spirit Of this age Of progress is 10 re-
examine the foundations Of faith, and re.
nOunCe many things that have been
taught and believed by the church. But
making all due allowance for the discoy-
cries Of modern research, it is certain that
the foundations OF christian faith must re-
main mistaken. They must be regarded
Ms settled beyond peradventure; and
we must rest steadfast and immovabIe on
this doctrine OF the resurrection, or man
has no basis for hope, and no stimulus to
do. Life becomes barren aud empty
thing, iudescribablv dark and desolatc, Il
We must perish ut DEATH"
DR.. ALLMAE's postulate, Every living
creature, from the simplest dweler on the
confines OF organization up to the highest
and most complex organism, has had its
origin in pre'existcnt living matter" re-
minds the CL,iAion al Work that giving
Greek names adds nothing to solution:
"Therc can be but one logical conclu-
sion TO such Il premise: il every living
creature has had its origin in pre.existent
living matter, then there is no such thing
as evolution OF life from inanim0te, sense
less matter. Furthermore, if there was Il
timc-as most scientists admit-when the
world was III gaseous state, without n
germ OF life, then some mighty Power
must have given life TO the world BY direct
creation. Such Creator the Christians
call God; what scientist can call Him
anything else? The fact, which is as I'M
portant as it is significant touching these
protoplasmic investigations is that the
scientists have discovered not the potency,
but the form OF lie. Life dwells in pro-
toplasm; it is lluXley's physical basis Of
life, but not lie itself; it is the 'Bathy-
hius' oi HaeCkGl; but giving it Greek
name brings us 10 nearer to solution OF
the great problem, What is Liie?"
The Roman Catholic Bishop OF Stafford,
England, said in n recent sermon that
there never was country in the world
that possessed love for riches such as
England possessed and there never was a
race Of men, intelligent, earnest and ener-
gctic, that SO completely gave itself up to
the pursuit OF wealth as the people of that
country did, lie knew no land in which
the distinctions between rich ard poor
were so marked and SO painful us they
were in England. Beneath tho outward
film Of union there were organizing daily
more and more perfectly and more and
more terrible bands and corporations
which were separating the people, and
which acted like wedges, Cleaving society
into portions, and separating one class
