1t may not be improper to mention
that many clergymen in this country have re.
celved circular from London dealer. who of.
iers second hand sermons photographed in a
bold, round hand. so that those who happen to
see them will suppose that they are manuscript
Tor 70 cents each, or $50 hundred He has a
line OF cheaper sermons In print, at 10 cents
apiece warranted orthodox, and others. little
more expensive, which have "pleasantness. vet
an awful solemnity about them" Now we
would not lnslnuate anything for the world but
there would not be any harm in LAYING in a
STOCK OF these sermons, so that should your min
lster preach with unusual 'pleasantness" some
Sunday you can just look over the Ms
1t is amazing to notice to what sums
compound interest will reach in few centuries.
For instance, the Manhattan Island was boupbt
OF the Indians for pa about 800 years ago. If
that sum had been put out at conpound interest
at Per cent. It would have been worth far more
than all that Manhattan Island is now worth.
including the city of New York. The Cologne
Cathedral is still more wonderful instance.
In addition to all that has been expended for
the last 500 years, perhaps $4,000, 900 was ex-
pended upon 1T before that time. If put at com
pound INTEREST at 6 per cent. it would be about
$lOO 1000 900 100000 900 100000. A sum of
which the human mind can have no approximate
idea even. If 1t were in one solid globe of gold
having Its centre at the centre of the sun. it
would completely envelope us, reaching out far
beyond the limits of the earth's orbit And vet
there are those who think compound interest the
correct thing
Every man to his trade. The Rev.
Thomas K Beecher, whose yearnings for politi-
cal distinction led him to run for congress in the
Elmira IN. " district as a democratic greenback
fusionist, was left in the race by 200 majority
(This is a brother of Rev. H. W. By
-Messrs. Moody and Sankey have
been at Salt Lake. They left there on Monday
last for San Francisco, after laboring for
eighteen days during which time they held
crowded daily meetings. According to the tele-
graph they made strong impression, especially
upon the Mormons, and the shortness of their
stay was much regretted.
City Mission Notes, a New York
sheet devoted to mission work, mentions the
following as a New Departure :"
"A friend of City Missions, who has been a
careful observer for several years, and who is
deeply impressed with the i'm portance of giving
the gospel to the people, has commenced the
erection of building in Rivington near Colum-
bia street, which is designed to be, not mis-
sion station, or mission chapel, or mission
church even, but church of Christ for the PEG
pie, with all the appointments of church, at
tractive and commodious, where the intelligent
mechanic and industrious workingman may
come and find cheerful home without impair
ing their self-respect and independence"

April 1890


Total number of families visited 1851.
Seven thousand FIVE hundred and twenty fami-
lies were found destitute of the Scriptures, and
6,665 OF these have been supplied. Three
thousand four hundred and eighty destitute in
diylduals have also been supplied and III poor
sabbath Schools. The missionaries have travel
led 1881 miles. Twenty two thousand five
hundred thirty three copies of the Scriptures
have been sold for $6,324.5I; 1928 have been
donated to the poor and destitute, valued at ST.
1882; salaries and expenses of the missionaries
have been paid to the amount of S5541.74
gratuitous distribution, 81, 1912, making So
o13O6 that have been expended in this mis-
slonary work. The churches and individuals
IN the State have contributed through these mis-
slonaries to help pay the expenses, $341.55.
Thus 1t has cost $6,63l 81 more than has been
received to support the Bible work in the State
since April, 1880 The churches have con-
tributed Independent of the above statement mn
to date less than $500.
The American Bible Society has met all the
expenses Of this great missionary work save
the small amount contributed through the mis-.

The Virginia Bible Society needs help now
to meet the necessary expenses incurred in the
prosecution Of this great work.
