What George Muller has Done

This holy man was in Indianapolis a
week or two sincey and we extract the
following about him from the Indianapolis
correspondent of the Cincinnati Herald
and Pre8byter. From Indianapolis Mr..
Muller came to Cincinnati:
I" AS summary of his marvellous work,
he stated that there were five large or
phan houses under his care, the largest
institution Of the kind in the world con
tanning 1850 orphans This enterprise
has been established and carried on at
an outlay Of over $5,O00OOO. But this
is but a part of his work. Schools have
been founded elsewhere; 76 day schools.
Ia Of which are in Spain 2 in Italy, in
the East Indies, 6 in Denmark, and the
rest in England and Wales. Besides
these he has Sc Sabbath Schools and 6
adult schools, making in all, 118
schools, in which last May there were
lO,018 pupils. Seventy-o one thousand
children or adults have been taught in
these schools. Not a dollar has ever
been solicited for these schools, but the
means have been provided through faith
and prayer Another object has been
the circulation Of the Scriptures. There
have been distributed $4,000 Bibles,
$4,000 Testaments 1900 copies Of the
Psalms, 10000 portions of the Bible in
various languages, and 100000 books
and tracts. Besides, more than 100 mis-
sionaries have been aided by its funds.
The millions expended in carrying on this
gigantic Chrlstian enterprise have on the
testimony Of this wonderful man, all been
furnished through faith and prayer 1t
IS one Of the maryels Of the age. It's par
allel can nowhere be found Mr.. Muller
will remain till sometime next week and
preach at the Second church on Sabbath.

A Good Experience.

God knows me better than 1 know
myself. He knows my gifts and powers,
my failings and my weaknesses, what 1
can do and not do. SO desire to be
led; to follow Him, and am quite sure
that he has enabled me to do great
deal more in ways which seem to me
almost waste in life, in advancing His
kingdom, than could have done in any
other way. l am sure of that. Intel
lectually [ am weak in scholarship,
nothing; in a thousand things a baby.
He knows this, and so He has led me,
and greatly blessed me, who am nobody,
to be some use to my church and fellow
men. How kind, how good, how COM
passionate art thou, o God Oh, my
Father, keep me humble Help me to
have respect to my fellow men, to re-
cognize these several gifts as from Thee.
Deliver me from the diabolical sins of
malice, envy, or jealousy, and give me
hearty JOY in my brothers good, in his
work, in his gifts and talents, and may
truly be glad in his superiority to my
self, if God be glorifed Root out all
weak vanity, all devilish pride, all that
is abhorrent to the mind of Christ. God
hear my prayer. Grant me the won
derous JOY humility which is seeing Thee
as all in all.-Dr Norman McLeoI's
Diary.

An Equine Baby.

All our little readers land good
many older ones, too) will be interested
In the following account of little baby
pony which recently made its appearance
in the city of Buffalo The lady to whom
1t belongs is well-known in that city. and
In all Western New York, as a lover of
pets, particularly of dogs and of Shetland
ponies. 1t is pretty sight to see the
grounds about her residence, with these
little ponies prancing about tame as kit
tens, and coming up to take food out of
the hand Of their mistress, who finds a
great pleasure in them, not only for her
own sake, but much more for the delight
they afford to the troops of children that
flock to see them, and often Jump on their
backs and have a ride on the lawn or UP
and down the road The following des-
cription of the latest arrival, we take
from Buffalo paper:
Philadelphia boasts of her baby ele-
plant, but Buffalo has within her Dor
ders a baby of the genus egatuS, which is
probably one of the smallest of its species
ever seen. 1t is the colt of one of the
Shetland ponies belonging to Mrs. DR..
Lord. 1t is two weeks old to-day. We

not no figures can convey any accurate
idea of it sludicrous littleness. It's original
weight was about ten pounds. To view
the little animal is like looking at an
ordinary colt through the wrong end Of
an operaglass. When it was about
week old, some ladies wished to see it
in the house. A small boy carried it in
his arms from its stable to the kitchen,
where it stood and bore inspection with
the most perfect nonchalance. The
youngster is far more sagacious and in
telligent than ordinary colts of its age,
and is very tame and playful. It's pre-
sent hue is mouse color, which gives it
the look, as lady remarked, of an ex-
aggerated kitten on stills 1t will soon
shed this coat for one of dark brown.
The mother pony is only thirty-three
inches high Like all Shelties, she mani
tests very strong maternal instinct. Al
though very tame and docile, she views
with evident uneasiness all liberties
taken with her offspring, even by her
immediate custodians. Taken together,
the foal and dam are smallar pair than
are often seen belonging to the equine

Under the second head the articles are: The
Philosophy of Jonathan Edwards, The System
of DR.. N W. Taylor in connection with Prior
New England Theology The Augustinian and
the Federal Theories of Sin Compared, Claiming
as Philosopher and Theologian, and History Of
the Doctrine of Future Punishment
Under the third head, we -Rationalism,
The Unreasonableness of Atheism, The Apostle
Paul. and Review of Supernatural Religion.
These articles appeared originally in The
NeO Highlander, The Princeton Reviev The
North American Reviec, The International Re-
UieW, &c.
Prof Fisher is little broad, perhaps, in some
of his views and especially with regard to the
subject of Inspiration but he is always we'll
informed, sensible, fair, and agreeable. We re-
gard the essays as possessing great value, and we
are very glad to see them collected. The papers
on Jonathan Edwards and DIR. Taylors Theolo-
gy, as well as that on Atheism and the Review
of Supernatural Religion are specially inter-
esting and able. The articles of Prof Fisher do
not aim at fine writing or rhetorical effect but
they have this supreme value, that they give in
formation, which is what is most needed in these
days.
The price of this book is only IS, and it is
well gotten up The review on the famous book
entitled Supernatural Religion, and the article
on Edwards and the account of DR.. Taylors
views, are worth the money to the theological
student many times over.

How Missions DEVELOP COMMERCE.
We have recently seen tables giving the
value OF exports from San Francisco to
the Hawaiian Islands for the past three
years. They amounted during this peri
od to Y4,7O2,029 Vessels from other
parts Of the world have also found mar
ket at these Islands. Boston has sent
them directly, during the same three
years, merchandise valued at S347. ASS.
1t IS a striking fact, which business men
should consider that the Sandwich
Islands, commercially of no importance

the American Board during the whole
