On Good Friday morning, at the
Church of All Hallows, Lombard Street,
London, according to custom which
has been observed for the last 2S7 years,
sixty of the younger boys from Christ's
Hospital attended the service, after
which, in accordance with the will of
Peter Symonds, made in 1898, they each
received at the hands of the church
warden new penny and packet OF
raisins. Another very ancient custom
was observed at St. Bartholomew the
Great, Smithfield, where at the conclu-
sion of the service an old tomb in the
church-yard was visited, when the Rev.
j. Morgan laid twenty-one sixpences on
the tomb, which we're picked up by
twenty-one elderly females of the parish.
1t is said that an old lady left this bene.
faction, and that she lies buried in the
church-yard, but the exact spot can not
be pointed out.

Without God.

UNLovELY, nay, frightful, is the soil
tude of the soul which is without God
in the world. To wander all day in the
sunlight among the tribes of animals,
unrelated to anything better; to behold
the horse, COW and bird, and to foresee
an equal and speedy end to him and
them; no, the bird, as it hurried by
with its bold and perfect flight, would
disclaim his sympathy, and declare him
an outcast. TO see men pursuing in
faith their varied action, warm-h hearted,
providing for their children, loving
their friends, performing their prom
ises-what are they to this chill, house,
less, fatherless, aimless Cain, the man
who hears only the sound of his own
footsteps in Gods Respondent creation?
To him, it is no creation; to him, these
fair creatures are hapless specters; he
knows not what to make of it. To him,
heaven and earth have lost their beauty.
How gloomy is the day, and upon yon-
der shining pond what melancholy
light! ] cannot keep the sun in heav-
en-, if you take away the purpose that
animates him. The ball, indeed, is
there, bat his power to cheer. to illu-
inmate the heart as well as the atmos-
phere, is gone forever. 1t is lamp
wick for meanest uses. The words,
great, venerable, have lost their mean
ing; every thought loses all its depth,
and has become mere surface. -Rdlph
Waldo Emerson.

Climate and Complexion.


THERE is a great diversity of opinion
as to the reason of the differences OF
complexion to be observed among man.
kind. Roughly speaking, the hue of the
skin varies with the latitude, and fairer
races having their homes at a distance
from the equator; the darker, within or
near the tropics. This fact would seem
to point to the position of the sun with
reference to those on whom he shines as
the cause. But the question presents
difficulties which this supposition does
not aid us to solve. At the same dis
lance from the equator we find the fair
Englishman, the yellow Mongol and the
copper-colored Indian. To the north OF
the white Russian and Finn live the
swarthy Lapp and Samoyed. North OF
the Caucasus are dark-skinned Tartars,
south of it fair-complexioned Circassi-
ans. The aborigines of America vary
less in color than the natives of the Old
World. None of them are as fair rs the
Swede, none as black as the negro OF
Congo, and those living in Brazil on the
equator are not the darkest. There are
blacker men in Australia and New
Guinea than in Borneo and Sumatra,
though these islands are on the equator
and those are not. The Shillooks of the
Upper Nile, who live about ten degrees
north latitude, are blacker than the
Monbuttoo who are six degrees farther
south.-PopalH Science Monthly.

The Roast Beef of Old England.

THE roast beef of Old England is
largely furnished nowadays from the
stock-yards of Young America; and SO
with the beef on the hoof. In 1875 four
million pounds of fresh beef were sent
from this country to Great Britain; the
next year the export jumped to thirty
three millions; the year following to
forty-nine millions; while for the pasg
two years it has been fifty-four millions
each. This increase is prodigious, but
it is paralleled by that of the export of
live cattle. In 1876 there were 81, 1913
live cattle exported; in 1879 there were
1876, 72O. In the past four years there
have been exported, in round numbers,
$4,000 hive cattle and $1,000, 600
pounds of beef. Enormous as these fig
ures are, they still increase, and lately
have been supplemented by great ship
ments of live sheep and fresh mutton.
The fact that the last two years, 1873
and 1879, had almost precisely the same
total exports of fresh beef, may indicate
the reaching of maximum, but an in
crease of 20 per cent. in the live-cattle
export of 1879 over 1873 may account
for the lack of gain in fresh beef. At all
events the trade is already important
and lucrative, and besides, as Colonel
Sellers would say, there is all Germany
and France that must one day be sup
piled. The success of the experiment.
has been in underselling British beef
the less agreeable side of the picture IS
that good American beef can often be-
bought cheaper at retail in English cit
les than in America. --New York Sun.

Canal route, is brought within sixty
days of Great Britain.
| Besides this, Mr.. James Stewart. of
the Mission, has explored the country
between Nyassa and Tanganika, the
next great lake to the north, and made
the first survey for an easy wagon road
of about two hundred and ten miles be-
| tween the two great inland seas. The
London Missionary Society has formed
stations within a few years on Lake
Tanganika, and this road when COM
pleted will give its representatives a
comfortable route to the coast. Soon
the traveller will be able to 90 with ease
from Great Britain into the very heart
of Africa in little more than two
months. A vast region is brought into
contact with Christian civilization. The
AcGdenay says: This route is destined
to become great highway. 1t is nota-
BILE how admirably the missionaries have
managed the once dreaded Mazitu. the
outlying tribes of the Zulu race, who
were reputed so warlike and so savage
Nor is this all-the stations have at
tracted the natives and become the
centers of settlements steadily advanc-
ing in knowledge and in the habits of
civilized life. The first and most diff
cult step has also been taken toward
the formation of literature. The lam
guage has been reduced to writing, and
the Nyassa subcommittee is about to
publish the Grammar of the Chin
yanja language, as spoken at Lake
Nyassa, with Chinyanja- English and
nglish-Chinyanja yocabularies, by AL
exander Riddel, of the Livingstonia
Mission of the Free Church of Scot
land" This is the first reduction to
writing and grammatical order of any
of the Kaflir tongues of East and Cen
trail Africa.
The Christian men and women who
have achieved these results have Ia
DO! ed with splendid devotion and heroic
self-denial. 1t would be pleasure to
notice number of them, but we must
be content to speak at present of only
one. Mr.. James Stewart, already men
toned, a Christian civil-engineer of the
Public Works Department of India, OBJ
taiced leave of absence from the Indian
Government that he might assist the
Free Church Mission in its tentative
movements in this region. When his
leave expired, animated by a noble
philanthropy, he resigned his position
in India and entered the service of the
Scotch Mission. His work has been in
valuable.
In preparing this notice of a grand
Christian triumph we have made free
use of the narrative published in the

CIV EVERYTHING GIVE THA.ErS.n

/. Thess. 5:1S
KEEP not thy thanks alone for hours
When the blue sky is bright,
And the air redolent with flowers
That laugh in sunny light;
But offer thanks amid dark storms,
When winds blow keen and high,
And beat upon the fragile forms
That charm thy loving eye.
Give thanks when some fresh bounty calls :,
Thy heart to leap for joy;
Give thanks when some strange sorrow falls
Thy day-dreams to destroy.
For friendships love and trust give thanks;
And yet, withhold them not,
If time should thin loves blessed ranks,
And lonely be thy lot.
When health Is glowing in thy veins,
And beaming from thine eye,
Sing forth thy gratitude in strains
OF unchecked liberty.
But should thy outer freedom be
Fettered awhile by pain.
Still search thy mind and soul and see
What mercies yet remain.

Should joy or grief, to-day,
Bid songs arise, or salt tears start

Another Christian Triumph.

IT was sunrise on the morning of the
18th of October, 1875, singing the One
Hundredth Psalm, that the first mis-
sionary expedition of the Free Church
of Scotland steamed out of the Shire
upon the blue waters of Lake Nyassa,
In Southern Africa. In the few years
which have passed away since that
memorable morning, the Central Africa
Company, consisting of the Chairman
of the Nyassa subcommittee of the
Free Church, Mr.. James Stevenson,
and other large-minded elders of the
Free Churches in Glasgow and Edin-
burgh, has placed the Lady Nyassa
steamer on the lower Zambesi and its
Shiri feeder from the lake, while the
Mission has tloated the nala on the Up
per Shiri above the cataracts, and on
the lake itself, and Mr.. Stewart, of the
Mission, has made a good road sixty
miles long around the Shirt cataracts.
