Miscellaneous Matter.

There are more candidates for the minis
try in the Methodist church than in any
other. In England the candidates increase
when trade or business is crippled by hard
times. The Methodist thinks ''the real
cause lies in the greater facility with which
Methodistism puts ministers into the
6eld'--thatis, we suppose, the small ex-
pense and preparation required.
Coney Island hotel proprietors lost
$50, 900 on a recent rainy Sunday. This is
the way they figure it: Provisions bought
for the occasion, $500; what they would
have sold for had the guests arrived, $780,
800; loss $50, 200.
The proposal of the workngmen Of Lon
don to erect a monument to Dean Stanley
has met with enthusiastic response. The
artisans OF both the East and West End
declare that in the dean they have lost
their best friend; SO the workingmen's club
are bent on honoring his memory and dis

A New Revision Story,

All sorts of odd stories, are finding their
way into print growing out of the introduce
ton of the Revised New Testament. Eere
is one of them, which is told at the expense
of q Methodist bishop, whorose to preach
before an audience of three thousand peo-
pie. Taking a copy Of the New Testam ,nt
from the desk he turned to Acts viii. 81. to
read his text. To his amazement it was
not there. The audience waited with an
expectation growing every instant more in
tense, as he turned the leaves backward
and forward. At last, perplexed and con-
fused, he threw the copy aside and caught
up another. which happened to be the Old
version. But he had now become SO be-
wildered that he could not find it in that
either, and at last he confessed to his
audience that he knew what his text was,
but where it was to be found he couldn't
tell. The verse in question is one which
has often been used as q text for preach
ing and whose loss is greatly to be regret
tad. Its only appearance in the revised,
is in a marginal note, thus: Some ancient
authorities insert wholly or in part, verse
81: And Phillip said. If thou believest
with all thy heart, thou mayest, And he
answered and said, / believe that Jesus
Christ is the Son Of God" Here IS one of
the points in whichth ~revisers have laid
themselves open to severe criticism. IF
the verse had such good reasons for being
in the bible that some ancient authorities
had insertedit as q portion Of Bible truth,
why in the name Of all that is lovely and
of good report, should the revisers have
set it aside? The treatment Of The final
passage Of the Lords Prayer is much on
the same order. The revisers have tram
pied on that which for centuries has been
dear to every Christian, and yet in a mar
ginal note have admitted that some ancient
copies give the very passage they have
thought unworthy of insertion

The song sdin fingers on hen lipps,r.
As white.arm barred, she deftly molds.
And ~scattsrs from her fnger,tips

With worn out nerves, and forty tAingss,
While mother in the kitchen sings.
