Hints to Soul-Winners.

Soul-winning is an employment glori-
Gus enough for Gabriel. But it is avi7,-
na1ag a Soul, and not the mere offer of
salvation to an indiscriminate multitude.
Mr.. Moody is so convinced of this that
ne regards his personal conversation with
A, b, and @, in the inquiry-roo1n, as even
a more vital work than the proclamation
of the truth to a multitude. Mr.. Pente-
cost has adopted the same view. Mrs
Sarah Smiley said to me lately, "There
is great delusion about what is cella.7
reaching the masses People Cannot be
saved in the rnsso; they must be reached
2nd saved one by one. can do more
good by private interviews with inquir-
ing souls, or by teaching few in a par
Tor, than | can by addressing miscel-
laneous multitude. The opinion of such
skilful laborers is of great weight; and
1T only confirms what Nettleton, Finney.
and Harlan Page taught and practised
fifty years ago. 1t is going back to the
methods of the apostles.
The difference between mass work and
individual work is Just tie difference
between shaking an apple-tree and
leaving the fruit on the ground, bruised
and battered, and picking off the apples
by hand and putting them into basket
The shaking process makes a great
noise; it brings temporary credit and
eclat to the man who does the shaking
But 1t does not gather the fruit of the
Spirit, in the shape of intelligently con-
verted men and women into the Church
Of Jesus Christ. Men may 90 down tc
hel! by regiments; but they have got tc
be led to the Gross and led into the
kingdom of Emmanuel one by one.-C,qr
Ler.

Chinese Court Procedure.

AT Shanghai, where we and some
other European nations and the United
States have establishments, native crimi-
mails are dealt with by what is called
mixed court" 1t is so called, no
doubt, because European or American
Consul or other resident sits with the
Chinese Judge; but in all other respects
1t has little pretension to its title; for its
course OF procedure and it's punishments
appear to be of Chinese barbarism, un-
mixed with the faintest trace of Euro
pean sense of HUMANITY. Thus. prison
er who refuses to divulge the names
OF his accompllces, is ordered to receive
90 blows on the face; and if these. ad-
ministered apparently on the spot, fail
to overcome his contumacy another so
may be ordered Beating the ankles
with hammers, and kneeling on chains
with the feet braced up, are other
methods of persuasion which are en-
ployed by this mixed tribunal, graced as
1T is by the countenance and sanction of
an ottlcer OF some great Christian power.
According to tabulated report, pre-
pared by Mr.. F. Parry for the Supreme
Court and Consular Gazette, the punish
ments consist of terrible Aoggings, or
else OF the congue, or heavy table, in
which the wearers neck is incIosed,
and which prevents him from living
down or from feeding himself That
such practices should 90 on for years
with the placid acquiescence Of inAuen
tial European communities seems hardly
credible. 1t is to be hoped, at ali
events, that they will not long survive
the publicity which Mr.. Parry has given
them. If the European Assessor Is to
sit on the judgment seat simply to give
the eountenance of civilization and
Christianity to the stupid and horrible
barbarities Of the Chinese-to concur
with Mandarin in administering
blows on the mouth or hammering the
ankles of prisoners who refuse to con-
fess or to peach the sooner he is re-
moved from so shameful post the bet
ter for himself and the civilized power
which he represents.-PaU Mall Ga

The Rich Men of Paris

The wealth which accumulates in
Paris is of kind which it is naturally
most difficult to estimate at its true
value. Of dozen persons, each of
whom spends 9l0 a day, one may be a
millionaire with capital invested in land
or in the funds; another successful
shoemaker; a third provincial who has
saved up ten years income for a single
escapade in the capital and so on down
to the men who have won prizes in State
Lottery or backed s6rie" at Monaco.
10 apply any real and sufficient test to
all these various expenders of money,
whereby to establish the scale of fortune
which each may be supposed to possess,
is obviously a task to puzzle even
French statistician. Yet it has been
undertaken lately by M. Paul Leroy
Beaulleu, who, in the Econonaiste Fran
cas-, attempts to calculate approximately
the number of rich persons actually liv
ing in Paris. He takes as his principal
basis Of calculation the value of the
houses in the French capital; and upon
these figures builds up his theory on the
assumption that the less wealthy inhabi
tants spend about one-sixth of their in
come in house-rent, while the richer
householders spend on an average from
one-eighth to one-tenth. 1t will be easy
for those who agree with him to follow
out the theory when they have the fol-
lowing list Of rents, as extracted from an
official source. 1t appears that there
are 10000 private houses or apartments
the rent of which ranges from Gl6O to
1920 year; 5000 between 1920 and
G540 and 400 between the latter sum
and 9l080. Finally, there are 421
houses, or rather palaces, the rent off
which exceeds 81, 080. 1t is not neces-
5ary to follow out the sums by which
Jhe income Of these various classes of rich
men is traced out, but it may suffice to
say that M. Beaulieu reckons that there
are about 5000 persons in Paris who
spend incomes of $4,000 and upwards |
and this will be seen by the figures
already given to be fully borne out by |
he facts. The conclusion is also sup
ported by the returns Of horses and car
Iages kept in the capital, which show
hat there are from $500 to 5000 per-
ons who keep private horses. 1t is not
IN unfair assumption that on the av-
rage, taking one with another, the in

Liberalism's Black Outlook

Mr. f. E. Abbott has withdrawn from
THE I'ad,er, the Liberal organ of which
he has been editor from its establishment
lie is disguised with the party if it may
be so termed, in which he has stood as q
leader. The worst elements of it have
proved too strong for him, and in his
valedictory he makes these significant
admissions: n.
The present outlook of American Lib
eralism is threatening and black. Ihave
boundless faith IN its ultimate triumph
over all its foes, at home and all over the
world. l must lose all faith in its truth
before | can lose faith in its triumph at
last. But have been keen watcher of
the weathersigns in the sky of reform
for years, and an editor has better oppor-
tunlty than others for this kind of watch
ing. There is thunderstorm brewing
ahead, unless. Liberalism is, indeed. the
morally rotten and worthless thing that
Orthodoxy says it is. | do not mean a
storm from without That is to be ex-
pected at all times But | do mean
storm from within. Liberalism has got
to-day to show what stuff it is made of;
1t has got to come to fair and square
understanding with itself. For two years
and a half the very worst elements in So
cciety (outside of the distinctively Grim
inal classes) have been Selling more and
more the control of organized Liberal
movement; and their ambition is to seize
Cnem all at last. 1 look about me and
ask, What is to prevent their success :?
Nothing atall, in the present apathy of
the Liberals at large. Healthy organiza-
ton has come to complete sUandstill;
unhealthy Organizations arr springing up
IKE mushrooms all over the land. To 90
into the work of Liberal organization to-
day, without the keen vigilance of which
see no sign at present, would be to play
directly into the hands of party that is
an incarnate moral pestilence.

cation of the Temple, the Wise and Fool
lsh Virgins, the Last Supper and Wash
ing the feet, the Distribution of Bread
and Wine, Christ in Gethsemane, the
Healing of the Blind, the kind Samaritan,
Christ before Plate, the Repentance, and
Death of Judas, the Jews before Plate,
and Christ and Barabbas In all of them
the grouping is done very artistically,
and on the whole the figures are well
drawn, with much animation and express
sion. Some of them are interesting from
an historical point of view, as that which
portrays the distribution of bread and
wine at the Eucharist All of them
throw light on early Christian art, and
Harnach thinks that he sees closer con-
nectlon between these works and Giotto

scenes there are forty heads of prophets

The volume we have already men
toned will excite the curiosity of critics
and artists in high degree, and we trust
that the two discoveries will not be long
in issuing their edition of the manuscript
In complete form to the world. In the
meantime we may offer our heartiest con-
CALCULATIONS to the discoveries whose
activity ability, and generous spirit in
critical inquiries into early ecclesiastical
writings have already gained for them a
high European reputation.-ScotSman.
We reserve our congratulations until some
thing more is known of this manuscript, and its

men are in such demand for the most i'm
portant trusts. Do not murmur, my
brother, if God is putting thee into His
crushing mill, or into a roaring furnace
of trial. Nothing worth preserving will
be lost. The worthless dross and the
nasty "slag" of depravity may be purged
away. Thou mayest require recoining
and a fresh stamp of the Masters image.
Oh for more men and women of incor-
ruptible gold in our churches Let us
stop worshipping genius; and exalt
goodness ! God exalts it, for it is re-
Election of Himself. This crown of true
goodness is open to the humblest. The
poorest boy that reads this paper, in
cabin, may aspire after it. That also is
the best preaching which produces the
best practice - Presbyterian Journal.

DIAMoND-BUYI THE buying of
diamonds for retail is said to be de-
licate and difficult task. The buyer sits
down at table with large sheet of
white paper spread before him. On the
paper are poured the contents of certain
packages received by the wholesale
dealer. The keen eye of the buyer, an
expert of course, picks out at once the
shallow, fawed, and all defective stones.
which are definitely rejected and swept
into bag. The accepted stones must
next be paired, and to this end a tin
plate, mounted on four feet and pierced
with holes of different size, is EMPLOYED.
On this the diamonds are laid and
shifted to and fro till each diamond has
been fitted into proportionate hole.
The gems undergo a second and final
scrutiny, the buyer examining them
most vigorously, and rejecting some
which may at first have escaped his at
tention. Any iTegularity of form, lack
OF brllllancy, dulness of water, or yellow
ness Of tint is sufficient to condemn them.
The matched stones are then put up in
pairs in papers or small cases, and the
others are sold to inferior jewellers.
