HE Record, the leading evangelical
organ in the Church of England, asks
Is there room in the Church of England
for Ritualism ?" and answers that it is
compelled deliberately and solemnly
to declare" that there is not. "The time
has come" it says, "when we must ask
our rulers, How long halt We between
two opinions? Something more than the
Establishment is in danger. The very
existence of the Church of England, as a
living branch of the Church of Christ, is
imperilled by policy which, with almost
Incredible infatuation, would smooth
away differences by ignoring the distinc-
ton between truth and error"

A CONSIDERABLE increase is. noted in
the number of students entering the Di-
vinity Halls of the Free Church, Scot
land, these students, it may be remarked,
being required to have previously passed
an undergraduate university course.
The number is "a this year as against 43
last year. The Catholic Presbyterian at
tributes the increase to "the quickening
OF religious life which took place six
years ago." There was the same result
after the revival of 1860.

walls In France among the various evan
gelising societies. There are three Pro-
testant Churches in Franoe-the Reform
ed Presbyterian Church, supported by
the State; the Lutheran Church, also re-
celving a stipend from the State; and the
Free Churches, which renowned State
aid IN order to become Independent of
State control: The Reformed Church
has been greatly paralysed b. the blight
ing influence of Rationalism, but the Or
thodox majority have established an un-
official ecclesiastical system which gives
strength and unity to the Evangelicals.
The Lutheran Church does not make any
effort towards the evangelisation of the
country, and this work is therefore left
to the Free Churches, the evangelical
element in the Reformed Church, and the
outside agencies which are at work in
France. Among these latter are l. The
British and Foreign Bible Society, which
expended last year. including the support
OF a general agent and SO colporteurs,
$4,000; 2. The English Wesleyan Mis-
slonary Society, which has % mission
aries and LOG local preachers, and which
expended last year $4,000; 8. The
Evangelical Society of Geneva, organised
IN 1881, and which maintains SIS colpor-
teurs, and theological seminary, with
10 young men from France at present.
4. The Mccall mission, which has now
"A mission stations in Paris, and week
y audience of 5000 adults and 5000
children, and 10 other stations recently
opened in Lyons, Bordeaux, Boulogne
etc.
The three principal native societies of
evangelisation in France are: l. The
Societe Centrale Protestante d Evange-
lisation," the organ of the Evangelical
part of the Reformed Church; 9. The
g Societe Evangelique, the organ of the
Free Church; 8. The EMISSION Inte-
rieure' or Home Mission Society, whose
chief duty is to awaken Professionals, and
to organise meetings among the Catholic
population. This society is rather for
lay workers, and takes advantage of any
political movements or local events and
sends out lecturers 1t is with this move
ment that M. Reveillaud has been chiefly
connected.
Giving an account of the Mccall Mis-
sion In THE Gospel IN HI Lands, the
Rev. DR.. Horatius Bonar, says: "The
mission is very simple one. No grand
hall has been built. F. Old wine-shops
have been cleaned . these are the
halls. Here Ritualism would be
Shocked early Christianity would find
itself at home. The Archbishop of Paris
would not endorse such LONELINESS; Paul
would enter that unadorned hall, and
step upon that unpublished platform with
congeniial alacrity." He adds:
While unbelief in various forms is coming in
as flood upon our land, it is comforting to see
how faith is returning to France Superstition
and Skeepticism are In repute with US. They are
losing favor with our Southern neighbors. The
present French mind seems as open to truth as
ours Is to error. The Bible is amongst us
stale and familiar volume; to them it is fresh
book of interest and wonder, and Joy.
The Crisis is important. The door stands
open. Let English and American Christians
come forward with their sympathy, their help,
and their prayers"

the reading of the Bible has on me at the age
Oh iorty, so different from that which the same
reading produced on me at the age of fifteen and
twenty: l can only compare this difference with
that OF the impressions produced at different
periods of life by the reading of the classics, the
contemplation of the beauties of nature, or the
monuments of art.

THE DUTCH OF THE IRA Ms
UAAT

A writer in the Christian Intezhgencer
Dutch Reformed church, speaks in the
following terms on this subject:
The Dutch of the Transvaal are Professionals
and members of the Reformed Church. Some
OF them have been affected by modern rationa
iism as many members of English and Scotch
churches are to day. A large portion of the
settlers however are earnest, evangelical Chris.
T Ts great bible readers, and men of prayer.
There have been some very Strong debates and
some decided antagonists between the evangeli.
cal and rationalistic parties as there are to day
In the Church of England and the Free Church
OF Scotland. These religious differences have
been magnifed and distorted by English
writers and here again the cure all proposed is
British rule.
In 1877, the administration of President
Burgers had proved failure. The Volksraad
was divided between contending parties; the
taxes We're uncollected and the public treasury
was empty and in debt. Sir Theophilus Shin.
stone was visiting the Transvaal as Special
Commissioner from the English Government,
and Colonel Evelyn Wood was within call in
command OF British force, which had Just sue
cessfully terminated Kaffir war The English
commissioner eagerly seized the opportunity
ran up the English flag, and declared the coun
try annexed to the British empire President
Burgers protested. Resistance for the moment
was seen to be unwise. Soon the Zulu war fol-
lowed, when the country was in possession of a
large body of British troops.
The annexation was denounced by Mr.. Glad
stone and other Liberal leaders, as an unjust
and uncalled for usurpation and outrage. 1t
was condemned In strong terms by many fair
minded Englishmen.
The Dutch continued to protest but in vain,
and at last rose with arms in their hands against
the British garrisons fortified at strong points
upon their territory.
AT the time of the annexation, the writer OF
these lines expressed through these columns his
OPINION of the insolence injustice and rapacity
OF the act. SO far as he observed at the time
he was alone In this country in characterising
the deed as it deserved. He received from the
Netherlands the thanks of few persons but
from the Hollanders and the descendants OF
Hollanders in this country, not one word Of
commentator or support
The real reasons for the seizure of the Trans
vaal were, that the Dutch were about to con-
struct railway from Pretoria TO Delagoa Bav
with the help of Continental capitalists, which
would interfere with English trade; and that
German merchants were becoming interested in
the development of the country, would probably
soon organise German immigration, and make
an English interference dangerous operation
The English Commissioner, to nip these threat
enlng projects in the bud, annexed the country
at moment when the Volksraad was divided
by political differences, and called in BODY of
British soldiers before the people had recovered
from the surprise
Some day there will be Berlin congress sum-
moned to put an end to British rapacity

they had begun TO lose the impression Of Him

The Rev. EDWARD JUDsoN, son of the
famous missionary, is going to New York
city to labor among the poor, unchurched
people Of Union Square. This populous
section, says the Christian at Work, is

Lent is well kept at the Episcopal and

notice much. The ecclesiastical life is

People are much in the habit of for
| getting. especially about the weather.
A few months ago there was an slmost
universal growl about the cold. As
people gathered about red hot stoves
they longed for the summer sun, and re-
solved 10 be contented when it came
For two months the people here have
been moppIEg their brows and declaring
"the oldest inhabitant" never experienced
su ch drought and heat and discomfort.
A little patience and refreshing of
memories, and the superstitious will
put away their fears that the
present forebodes any disaster A
weather chronicler gives the following
historical dry spells. "rhe dry spells
that have become historic were in the
summer of 1880. twenty four days; 1885,

current year has slres y been broken
by refreshing rains over a wide district
and it will soon be forgotten, except in
the districts of burned forests and desc

The Crease in ,he Frying Pan.

A writer in New York paper, who
has doubtless been through = weaIy ex-
perience this sums er, declares that the
chief objection to camping out is the
dish washing, and the chief objection to
dish washing Is tae impossibility of get
ting the grease out of the frying pan.
"a given qusntity of grease could, of
course, be removed from any frying
psn,n says the complainant. ''were it TO
remain 3 given quantity. When, how
ever, it is found that the more grease the
dish washer removes the more there is
still left to be removed, the hopeless
nature of his task becomes apparent"
He declares thst Professor Hardness,
Of the Smithsonian Institute, has
proved that lard, when brought In con-
tsct with frying pan, expands to four
times its original bulk. While the pro-
lessor was in China to witness the transit
of Venus, he drew the fatal lot which
compelled him to act as dish washer He
labored one hour and thirty minutes at
the frying-psn. At the end of that time
"the scales showed that there was half
pound of lard on the professors cloth
ing. another half pound in the two TN
cups, and another half pound still in the
frying pan, white it was estimated that
st least like quantity was distributed
over the surface of the Hoang-
Chin province. Thus the original
amount of lard had qusdrupled itself,
and rendered the effort to clean the fry
ing pan unsuccessful. Professor Hark-
ness tried the same experiment six con-
sccutive times. and was thus enabled to
ascertain that lard, when placed in .
frying pan which is afterwards subject.
ed to the WISH ng process, expands until
it is OF times its original bulk"
The New York man concludes that
women possess secret which they are
unwilling to give up, by which frying
pans can be really washed clean, and his
life time Is u be devoted to filching that
secret from the feminine breast
