AT this rate of increase, in eighty wears
more, the number of converts will equal
100000. N
In Burmah in 1923, there was but one
convert; in 1878 there were 10000; the
work of fifty years. In 1879, less than
twenty persons in this country gave 81
100000 to the cause of Foreign Missions.
In l2O years, the world will begin it's
seventh millennium, and some think that
that will be the great millennium of the
saints possessing and enjoying the king
dom.
This is the great missionary century.
In this respect it ranks above the apos-
tolic age, or medieval times. Christian
missions are now swayipg the world. In
Japan to-day, there are 1900 Christians,
where in 1865 there was but one. In
China, thirty-6ve years ago, there were
but six native Christians; to day there
are 10000 In India, in 1879. 10000
persons passed over from paganism to
Christianity. There sleep on the shores
of India, the bones of six hundred Chris
tan missionaries.-Heya and Presbv-

Change of Heart-The Remedy.

Why don't you preach against thea
tre..going?" somebody asked me, after
intimating that this is an open habit
among some protested Christians. "Why
don't you preach against Sunday pleasure
driving?' asks another. "And whv
don't you donounce the sin of Christian
men selling liquor or renting their stores
for others to sell it?' asks still third.
Well, what is the use to exhort man
against these things if his spiritual
instincts are not strong enough to keep
him from them? You may, by preaching
produce momentary change of purpose
IN regard to Them but change of heart
is the only permanent remedy. 1 care
little to turn mans face from the thea
tire, if his heart is still there, Juggling all
the while at his irresolute will, and begg-
ing for another indulgence GA man
must have some enjoyment, he SAYS,
by way of excuse. And if a Christian
cannot find enjoyment in the service of
God, in the holy delight of prayer and
praise and labor for Christ; if he cannot
get pleasure in the companionship OF
Christian brethren, in the study and
feeding on the word of God, what won
der that he should find his pleasure in
the glitter and gaiety of the theatre, or
IN the charm and intoxication of the
novel. Preach against play going to such
an one AS well exhort the stone moi
to fall to the earth when detached from
the mountain side. Argument cannot
stand against the law of gravitation. II
the love Of Christ is not strong enough to
hold Christian in communion with
Christ, my preaching, though I were to
speak with the tongues of men and an
gels, can never be strong enough to hold
him away from the theatre. 4. u

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

Under their new Bishop WILSON the
Reformed Episcopalians of Canada are
making marked progress. During his
recent visit to the severa! congregations
steps were taken to free several of the
churches from the debt nader which
they have been laboring, which bid fair
to be rapidly successful. At Ottawa an
extension to the church is being made In
the shape of a lecture-room, etc. and at
Moncton, N. B., the erection Of a hand
some Sunday School room is to be pro
ceeded with at an early date.
Women were admitted to the classes
IN arts, laws and sciences in Universitv
College, London, two years ago. And
they have done remarkably. In the re-
cent examinations, both Latin prizes and
one or two Greek prizes were awarded
to women, and, as a proof that the re-
CURED standard is not low, it is stated
that the second competitor for the Latin
prize has won an Oxford scholarship. Tn
French two prizes out of three were
awarded to women, in English four ont
Of nine, and the only one in political
economy. These facts should encourage
American women to study. Really.

in this town you can send an agent"
So says much-respected minister of the
church some four hundred and fifty miles
from Cincinnati
AS we cannot send an agent to every
town and village in our field, as this
brothers field particularly is small and
difficult of access, we. must give up all
hope OF canvassing among his people, I'M
less we can convince him that it is his
duty to cooperate with us. In the eff
fort to do this let us remind him and all
others of like feeling, that the object OF
the religious press is one with the work
of the ministry, and that wherever good
papers are largely circulated the results
are manifestly good. Our paper, if we'll
circulated in his field, will help him in
his work. His people will be we'll in
formed as to the work of the Church,
and as to its great mission enterprise.
They will be prepared by Christian read
ing to appreciate good sermons and more
inclined to heed gospel exhortations.
" The religious paper, says-an exchange,
is the minute-hand marking the period
of the Church's mean temperature, the
ebb and flow of her life. The religious
paper is the weekly commentary on the
word OF God, as it appears in doctrine,
conviction, and providences. This is ali
lost in the family that takes no church
paper, and the result is too apparent"
The same writer speaks Of the value
OF church papers, especially in families
where there are growing children.
Without the family paper they grow
up out OF the spirit of the Church
They have learned nothing of its grand

They have no knowledge of it's doctrines
IN their practical application in human
struggles, hopes, victories, and disasters. u
The parents of such children wonder. in
their declining years. why their children
have all left the Church. The writer
answers They never had church

In which they were born, in its spirit,

Contuclanism. The effect is also an
parent in the Church when its benevolent

Signs of the Times.

If we are to Judge from the signs, now
prevalent in the Christian world, this is
a period Of extraordinary activity in the
work of carrying the gospel to the ends
of the earth-a period the like of which
has not passed since Paul and his com
Panions sailed along the coasts of Asia,
and penetrated the mountain Businesses
with the message of salvation. The CEN
turles gone seem to have been but pre-
paratory to this, not simply as pertains
to progress in the sciences, the arts.
literature and philosophy, but as per
talns to the PRONUNCIATION of the gospel.
the concentration of thought and purpose
upon the one object, the fulflment of
the prophecies in the spread of the
knowledge of Christ among the nations.
The age Of the apologetics, when men
attempted to show the reasonableness of
Christianity and its claim to superiority
over the religions of earth, passed long
ago. The discussion of great doctrines,
the formulating of systems of theology,
is work largely of the past. The best
thinkers and most untiring investigators
OF to-day are able to make but little adj
vancement upon the systems of the mas
ters Of the seventeenth century.
The thought and the activities of to-
day are not concerned about doctrines,
but about practice; not about what to
teach so much as about the command
ment to teach it, and consequently, since
the day when William Carey nailed up
before his shoe-bench his crayoned map
OF the world, there has been continual
progress in the work of missions until the
whole Protestant world has become
thrilled and fred with the grand concep-
ton OF the gospel preached to every
creature, the kingdoms of the world the
kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ.
Rev. A. T. Pierson, D. D., delivered
an address at the Inter-Seminary Con-
ference He gave some statistics bear
ing upon the work accomplished, among
which were the following: O

Religion AND CHEMISTRY. By Prof J. I.
Cooke of Harvard A newly revised edition.
New Nork: Charles Scribners Sons. 1850.
Price $3.50.
He is bold author who in these days at
tempts, after sixteen years, revised edition OF a
work on this subject Like the various text
books on physical science these are ephemeral
in their value-soon supplanted by fresh essays
in the same field, which avoid the more palpa-
BILE errors of their predecessors and perhaps adj
vance some new phase of truth.
But Prof. Cooke has justified himself and his
book is drought down to the present time" as
the scientists say. The progress of thought in
the past decade is recognized and its fruits ncor
porated, so that for its purpose, the book is
worth the perusal of those who remember the
first edition and of those to whom it is even now
new as we'll
For its purpose"-and this must be defined.
1t is solely popular exposition of the subjects
on which it treats" Up. g.. That much of the
matter is not new to the specialist is no objec-
tion-for he had no place in the design; but to
an always large number of readers, these facts
are new and their significance not appreciated.
Haeckels writings will never do much harm
among the people, and on the other hand Janet,
Jackson, or Balfour will not through their pages,
confirm or convince the masses The ordinary
mind does not absorb truth in such severe forms
But works like this will accomplish much in
banishing the gloomy forebodings of many and
in encouraging the hesitating believer to more
positive attitude, and this is worthy the labor
of the Christian scientist.
Prof. Cooke undertakes to show that these
facts [of material nature are at least as consis-
tent with the Christian theory of the origin of
the universe as with the theory of the material
list" (p. g. and this he follows through chapters
on The Atmosphere, Oxygen, Water, Carbon
DiOxide, and Nitrogen.
The author criticses very sensibly Mansels
doctrine of the Infinite OPP. &c, 27) he points
out the misapprehension of the extreme Bacon
ian, who thinks that the laws of nature may
be discovered very much as last is turned out
by lathe, Up. $780, while "the great generali-
cations which form the frame work of knowl-
edge are not reached by rule \ they usually
come like intuitions to the mind (p. 24O); the
sceptc's criticisms on the analogical me hod are
turned against himself when it is shown that
scientific truth is discovered through analogy
and verified by comparison with the facts of ma
ture," Up. 242). The'highest forms of scientific
truth are not capable of demonstration, and rest
only on probable evidence" Up. 243.)
The tone of the book is healthy, candid It's
author evidently is one in whom the conflict
of science and religion" does not rage, but a
sweet and intelligent harmony the rather per-
vades his soul.
