The Massachusetts Legislature is consider ing the advisability of imposing restrictions upon the sale of oleomargarine, and in the testimony before the committee one dealer admitted that probably three-quarters of the people to whom he sold oleomargarine sup posed that they were buying genuine butter. The ''anti-oleo' party before the committee offered to prove that quantities of the bogus article were sent into Vermont and exported without any distinguishing marks upon the tubs Similar charges are made in New York There is perhaps no reason why oleo- margarine should not be sold and used, but it ought to be so that people can know what they buy.

In 1877 12, s07 crimes were taken oognizance of, and in the following year the number rose to IA, OPP, an increment of ten per cent, while the ''normal"-that is to say, the increase of population-was only something over one per cent.

 Fhe romance of farming and stock raising in the great West has received hard blows this winter. A Connecticut man who went to Nebraska tells the Norwich Bulletin a doleful tale. In his neighborhood the ground has been covered with snow continuously from the 18th of October until last week. A good portion of the winter it was so deep that farmers had to tunnel their way to barns and stables. Wood has been so scarce that the farmers had to go forty miles sometimes to get it, and then were obliged to take green willow. In this strait many burned corn at the rate of four bushels day to . stove Naturally, live stock have suffered severely from necessary exposure. In the vicinity with which the correspondent is most famil- far he says that fully sixty per cent. of the sheep and cattle have already died this win- ter.

Minister Moves has communicated to Sec retary Blaine some important information re- garding the new French three per cent. loan of $20O, OoO, 900, whose speedy absorption has seemed so phenomenal The loan runs for seventy-two years instead of twenty-two, as at first reported, and has lottery attach ment which will not commend itself to Amer ican ideas of finance. This provides that enc seventy-second part of the loan shall be drawn by lot and paid at par every year. That is to say, the French government will have to pay the first year $2, TT, TIT and three per cent interest As it put out the loan at 16a below par, it will pay out to cer- tain holders of the bonds $465, ,277 more than they paid for them. Thus the holders of bonds which happen to be paid within the first few years realize heavy percentage for their money, and it is this lottery feature which accounts for the immense offerings of money.

with the subject in hand. One side of

with pictures of persons or battles; and

THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH.

The Rev. E. g. Abbott, pastor of the
Christian church, Albany, N. Y, gives
this explanation of the origin of that
denomination at was formed out of
love for religious liberty. About the
year 1900 there was much bigotry and
intolerance in the churches of all denom-
nations. They waged bitter warfare
against each other, and placed strong
emphasis on the doctrines of the church.
1t was time of spiritual dearth in all
the churches. There were many good
men in all the denominations, who
deeply lamented the divisions existing
among Christians, and deplored the ex-
altation of creeds and dogmas above the
Word of God. They resolved to throw
off the shackles fastened upon them by
conferences, associations, presbyteries
and other ecclesiastical bodies. They
declared that creeds and systems of
theology were obstructing the work of
the church, and that the Bible was
sufficient as rule of faith and practice.
They insisted upon common sense. in

and taught that they contained in clear,

believed in order to attain salvation and
growth in grace. They maintained that
the statements CT Jesus could not be
improved upon, and that the world
needed a restoration of primitive Chris
tianity in its power and simplicity.
They held that Jesus did not come to
introduce system of theology, but
affirmed that Christianity was spirit
was purpose, was life, and that confes
sion of belief in the Lord Jesus Christ
and a Christian character consistent
Herewith was sufficient for Christian
fellowship and church membership. In
North Carolina secessions took place
from the NJ. E. church, in Kentucky from
the Presbyterian church, and in New
England from the Baptists. A conven
ton of all who would accept no cree,
but the Bible met in New York City i
1904. They agreed to accept the Bibl
as their creed, make Christian characte

A FAMOUS CHURCH.

The semi-centennial of the Vine Street
Congregational church, Cincinnati, was
celebrated last Sunday. The historical
address, delivered by the Rev. DR.. G. B.
Boynton, former pastor, described the
part taken by the church in the move
ment for the abolition of slavery. Dur
ing the pastorates of Presidents Mahan
and Blanchard, the church became con-
spicuous for the peculiar trials and
perils that beset it in what was then a
slavery-ridden border city. One of
these pastors for time did not dare to
have it known where he passed the
night. These pastors and the members
of the church were heroic men and
women, as truly animated by the martyr
spirit as those who have been burned
at the stake, standing firm and suffering
for Christ's sake, fer humanity and the
right. In the autumn of 1916. under
the leadership of the Rev. John Rankin,
an organization called the Free Synod
was formed in the building then occu-
pied by the church 1t embraced a
number of churches in Southeastern
Ohio and Western Pennsylvania, and it
was for years an important antl-slavery
organization. One of the most interest
ing incidents of last Sundays exercises
was the readiug of a letter from the
Rev. DR.. Asa Mahan, the first pastor of
