Moffat and the Savage Chief

In quiet street of London, "on the
south side of the Thames" resides a. ven
cradle minister, still strong and active at
the age of eighty-seven, whose life story
grandly illustrates the sweet text. "The
angel of the Lord encampeth round about
them that fear him."
This wonderful man, the father-in-law
OF the equally famous Livingstone, passed
sixty years of his life among cruel barba-
rians, and early showed himself divinelv
qualified to do good, and divinely pro-
tected in doing it.
When DIR. Mofat was only twentv-one
years old, he went to South Africa. TO
preach to the negroes.
Far in the interior, beyond the ORANGE
river, lived at that time savage chief
whose wars and depredatins kept the
whole country in dread. The name of
Cetewayo never inspired half so much
terror as did that of Africaner, the
Namaqua king.
Young Moffat was warned against him,
put ne 1elt no tear. He had come on pur-
pose to tell the Hottentots about Christ.
and ne knew his Masters business. and
loved it. ''-' =
80 among the Hottentots he went into
the interior of Namaqua-land, and into
the hut of Africaner himself. The bold
ness OF the peaceful white man, and his
strange, pure words, soon disarmed the
fierce chief, and he not only allowed him
to stay among his people and preach to
them, but built him a hut close to his own,
Mr.. Mofat, by his rare tact and wis
dom, not only completely won Africa
ner's friendship, but made him his dailv
listener and pupil. The naughty Hot
tentot came to regard him as his family
chaplain. His interest in the good man 2
teachings increased, and he praduallv
forgot his ferocity.
Before Moffat had been with him two
years, ne renounced his heathenism and
became humble a disciple of Christ. The
brave faith Of the preacher had not dared
to look for this result, but when It came
1t was almost too much to realize. Time
and trial, however, proved the chiefs sim
cerity, and by and by, when it became
necessary for Mr.. Mofat to visit Cane
Town, he told Africaner that he wished
to take him with him.
How can | go in safety?" asked the
astonlshed chief. IT am known every
where, and a reward Of a thousand
pounds is offered for my headP
Yes, said Mr.. Moffat, "but risked
my life when 1 came into your country

The Chipmunk.

The chipmunk likes to dig his hole in
these dry banks, and you NAV often hear
rustling in the thick beds of dry leaves
loud enough to attract your attention
rom distance Of fifteen or twenty rods.
"A cautious approach to the spot will
snow you couple of chipmunks chasing
each other round and round through the
leaves. They will cease from their
sports as you come near, but, if you sit
down quietly, they will soon conclude
that you are not dangerous and commence
again: They often include the trunk of
a fallen tree in their circuit. running
along its whole length; then, plungine
IKE divers into the leaves, they rush
neadlong through them, seeming greatly

rel, and frequently does so when the
coast is clear, but if danger threatens he
makes haste to descend. He never can
realize that tree affords him the least
security. If you get so near before he
sees you that he dares not come down
ne plainly considers the situation to be
very serious. Sometimes he will make
desperate rush for the ground within
reach OF your hand, and as soon as you
Withdraw he comes down and scampers
away, evidently feeling that he has got
well out of bad scrape. Let his larger
cousins, red, black, or gray, depend on
trees for safety if they choose; his trust
is stone walls and brush heaps, not to
mention his burrow. Within reach of
these, his easy impudence is in striking
contrast with his panic-stricken condition
when freed.

A Ships " Log. 4"

The speed of vessels is approximately
determined by the use of the log and log
line. The log is triangular, or quad
rangular, piece OF wood about quarter
OF an inch thick, so balanced by means
OF Plate of lead as to swim perpendicu-
larly in the water, with about two-thirds
OF 1T under the water. The log-line is a
small cord, the end of whichodiyided
into three, so that the wood hangs from
the cord as scale-pan from balance
beam-ls fastened to the log, while the
other is wound round reel on the shin.
In The log, thus poised, keeps its place in
the water, while the line is unwound
from the reel as the ship moves through
the water, and the length of the line IN
wound in given time gives the rate of
the ships sailing. This is calculated by
knots made on the line at certain dis
tances, while the time is measured by a
sand--glass OF a certain number of seconds
The length between the knots is so pro-
portloned to the time of the glass that
the knots unwound while the glass runs
down show the number of miles the ship
Is sailing per hour. The first knot is
placed about five fathoms from the log,
to allow the latter to get clear of the
ship before the reckoning commences.
This Is called the stray-line. The log

brevity, is the record that the proper Of
ficer keeps Of the speed of the ship from
day to day, and of any and all matters
that occur that are deemed worthy of
note, of the winds and storms. and es-
pecially of ships that are sighted.

A Religious Paper,

A prominent clergyman. of Chicago
after enumerating the variety of valuable
matter usually found in religious week
ly paper, closes with the following re.
marks 81 suppose some families feel
that the price of good religious paper
is more than they are able to pay. But
the value of such paper, when taken
and read, is above all price in money
The cost at the most is only five cents a
week. There are many mothers who so
prize the assistance of such paper in the
education of their families that they would
sooner wear one hat less year than
dispense with their paper. There are
fathers who would buy a coat cheaper
by the cost of the paper than be deprived
OF its blessing. So deeply do I feel the
need of such a paper as an educating
force in my life and home that count #
not among the Injuries, but necessities of
my table. And l am sure that where It
is taken and read, and not laid upon the
shelf to stay there, it will be an inval-
liable educator Of both the home and the
church into the life which we live bv the
faith Of the Son of God"

Timely Suggestion.

Do not keep the alabaster boxes of
your love and tenderness sealed up until
your friends are dead. Fill their lives
with sweetness. Speak approving. cheer
ing words while their ears can hear them
and while their hearts can be thrilled bv
them. The things you mean to say when
they are gone, say before they 90. The
flowers you mean to send them for their
cofins, send to brighten their homes be-
fore they leave them.
If my friends have alabaster boxes laid
away, full Of perfumes of sympathy and
affection, which they intend to break
over my dead body, I would rather thew
would bring them out in my weary hours
and open them, that I may be refreshed
and cheered by them while need them
l would rather have bare coffin with
out flower, and funeral without en-
logy, than life without the sweetness Of
love and sympathy. Let us learn to
anoint our friends beforehand. for their
burial. Post-mortem kindnesses do not
cheer the burdened spirit. Flowers on
the coffin cast no fragrance backward
over the weary days.-W Y. Evanqeyist.

Methodists to have revival camp meet

the American Protestant sects were to
connect its popularity with civil cele-

COURTESY, especially when travelling,
is mark of good breeding. To insist
upon taking people into your confidence,
IN public conveyance, by loud talking,
as you discuss your private affairs; to
allow your merriment an unchecked
rein; or to indulge in an overflow of spirit
that may be annoying to others, are all
violations of good manners which should
be guarded against, for the comfort of
other people. Many an hour spent up
on the railroad or steamer may become a
pleasant remembrance to some frail in
valid, through your thoughtfulness and
attention, or its memory frightened to
some weary mother by any effort YOU
have made to help amuse her children,
who have grown restless and become
difficult to manage. Cultivate good man
ners, avoid being too demonstrative in
pubic, places, and by your kind and
thoughtful consideration of the comfort
OF your neighbors you may be able to
look back upon many an agreeable asso-
cation with sone transient travelling ac

1910 oOJI
The following deductions from these
tables seem legitimate:
L. The relative increase of member.
ship In the city and town churches, is
only one-half of the ratio in the whole
Synod, and but little more than third
of what it is in the country churches.
2. Of fortyfour churches gained only
one of them is in a city or town; to wit
Old Street church, Petersburg.
3. The ratio of increase in member
ship is thirty-three per cent less than
that in churches.
4. Eight out of thirty-fve churches
have less members than they had five
years ago, and only three have made a
net annual gain of ten. Franklin Street,
baltimore, has gained one hundred and
twenty-five; Lexington sixty-seven and
Richmond Second ffty-fve.. Possibly
Tabb Street church, Petersburg, would
belong to this list had it not been for
the organization of Old Street church.
Staunton Second church has made the
largest relative increase, having grown
from thirty-three to sixty-seven mem
bers. Staunton First, Lynchburg First.
Danville, Grace Street (Richmond), and
Richmond Third, have added considera-
bly, to their membership.
5. While there seems to be no ascer-
tanned ratio in the Presbyteries, between
an increase in churches and membership,
Abingdon and Chesapeake Presbyteries
have gained nearly equally in each and
largely in both. East Hanover has gained
little in membership but much in church.
es, whereas, Winchester Presbytery has
increased too and half times as much
in membership as in churches, and Roam
oke twice as much. Abin gdon, Lex
ington, Chesapeake, and Winchester have
made the largest relative increase in
members, while Maryland, Montgomery,
West Hanover, and East Hanover have
gained most in churches.
3. The net gain in the Synod during
i've years, is forty-four churches and
twenty-seven hundred and ninety-two
members, as the result of the labors and
prayers of over two hundred ministers
eleven hundred ruling elders, and twenty
thousand church members. Much more
ought to be aimed at and hoped for dur
ing the present year. Let us all pray
