wounded to thrust his needle into his
brain when dressing his head. Thus
periShed Ranald Gallda by the hands of
his own clan-a man whose capacity as
well as prowess deserved q better fate
at their hands. The news of the battle
soon spread near and far. 1t was known
in the Arid on the day following, and
party of Frasers Immediately visited the
scene of conflict to claim the remains
of their friends for honorable interment.
Those of their Chief the Master and
his cousin Ranald Gallda were borne
homeward by the mourning band and
buried IN the priory of Beauty. Until
1746 the Latin inscription on Lovats
tomb was visible. 1t is as follows:
" Hic jacet Hugo Dominus de Lovat
qui fortissime pugnanscontra Reginald
erios occubuit. Julii 10, 1914" "Here
lies Hugh Lord Lovat, who fell on the
10Th of July, 1544, bravely fighting
against the Clanranald." We remem-
Der being shown, many years ago, by
the late Mr.. Even Cameron, then ten
ant at Kilfnnan, mounds at the south
east end of Loeb Lochy, not far from
the scene of conflict, where according
to local tradition, the remains of the
slain were buried. The gentle undula-
tions of the ground and the richness of
the verdure seemed all to favor the
probability that this is really the last
reSting-place of those who fell in this
battle. The loss sustained by the Fra
sers, great as it was, would have been
still more disastrous to the clan but for
a remarkable circumstance we have
upon the authority both of the
historian Buchanan and Sir Robert
Gordon, that the wives of the slain
Frasers-almost all of them-subSe-
quently gave birth to sons. This is
corroborated by more than one of the
Clan historians. And while some slight
margin may be allowed for more or less
exaggeration such there be-we
have no reason to doubt the substantial
accuracy Of the testimony of these men,
We sometimes hear of d" the good old
times" Let US thank God we live in
better times. For not greater IS tne con-
traSt between the scene of the 18th of
July, 1914, witnessed on the field of Dal-
ruairih, and the calm, peaceful, bright
aspect of it, when seen by us last Au-
gust, than the contrast between the
Highlands of those times and the High
lands of our own day. Nowhere are
life and property safer, more sacred,
than they now are in the Highlands Of
Scotland-the fruit of the Bible and the
school.
John Mudartach, the prime mover of
this, as of many seditions besides, lived
to an advanced age and died in the
chartered possession of a heritage ille-
gally gotten-maintained by the sword
and transmitted to successive genera
tions of his descendants. Allen Sm

The Growth OF Christianity.

The wall that Christianity is losing
its hold of the people is one which
always fails to disturb us, We believe
there never was time since it was
founded when the Church was so pure
as now, when it exerted so much power
in the world, when it was so generally
respected, and when so many were in
its membership as now. The world is
not growing worse; it is growing bet
ter. The Church is not growing
weaker; it is growing stronger
We publish, in another column, a
table giving the increase for 1880 in the
membership OF sixteen Protestant
denominations, called Evangelical.
These denominations-which do not
include the Congregationalists, the
Disciples, the Methodist Episcopal,
South, NJ. E. Colored, NJ. E. African,
NJ Z. African Zion, Methodist Protest.
ant, and other smaller Methodist bodies
show, according to their statistics,
264, 293 more members than the year
before. This is an enormous increase,
and is not to be explained by a more
perfect system of collecting statistics.
There must be, however, it seems to us,
one serious error in the Baptist figures,
which comes from what appears to be
the blunder of making the estimated
unreported membership in Alabama,
63, 500, instead of $3.50. Allowing this
probable shrinkage of 81 $50, we have
an increase in the whole country of
207, 143, which the denominations un-
reported, with over two mil
lion members would almost GER
tainly increase to $4,000, w r
This, be it, remembered, is the in
crease of membership for one year.
Now, the population of the country, ex-
cluding Catholics, is forty-four millions,
and the commandments number about 81
100000, or one in five. The increase in
the Protestant population of the coun-
try in the year covered by these statis-
tics was about l, 100000, while the in
crease of communicantsis 275,0 900, near
ly one in four. That is, with all the as
saults of vice and unbelief, the Chris
tian Church, as represented by the
Evangelical Protestant denominations,
is making rapid and substantial gain.
This gain has not come through re-
markable revival waves. 1t has been
sure and constant, notwithstanding the
fears of good men, who have looked at
but fraction of the field. 1t does not
quite accord with the representations
nor substantiate the fears Of those who
believe that everything is going to the
worse, until the Lord shall speedily ap-
pear, in the great glory of His second
coming, to establish His reign on the
earth.
The Figures which we give, however,
though hopeful, on the whole, should
give some bodies of Christians great
searchings of heart. To keep up with
the growth of population, the Presby-
terian Church, North, should have
gained twelve thousand members.
It has gained but three thousand.
The Reformed (Dutch) Church should
have gained nearly two thousand. 1t
has lost twenty members. On the
other hand, the Cumberland Presby-
terians should have gained $500, but
have really gained $500. The Episco-
palians should have gained 5000, but
have gained 20,846. Such facts show
where active work has been expended
and where new energy is requiled.-

Leadville Types.

Of all American cities Leadville might
be expected to contain a number of what
a novelist called types. A list of candi-
dates for city Office has just been pub
lished, with biographical sketches, show
ing that the typical American as he
seems to foreigners may certainly be
found IN Leadville. The candidate for
Mayor was born in Michigan. He learned
the 'rudiments at the public schools
In 1858 he became printers devil, and
two years later entered a commercial
college, which he left to 60 into the
pork-packing business. Next he en-
tered bank as clerk, and then, in 1870,
he studied medicine, graduating from
Bellevue Hospital, New York. Then
he went to Colorado and practiced med
icine. Then he became superintendent
of a mine, and now at the age of thirty
six, he is likely to be Mayor of Lead
vile. One of the candidates for Alder
men is thirty-three years of age. He
was born in Maine, went to Iowa as
soon as he was old enough to go. He
engaged in several mercantile pursuits,
went to the war; engaged in stock-rais-
ing, tO0K an appointment in the Ports
mouth navyyard, went to Chicago and
engaged in the commission business,
and then ran two markets; was burned
out in the Chicago fire; went to Colora-
RADIO Springs and engaged in the hotel
business. From there he went to Lead
vile when the craze started, and is in
terested in forty mines and is a large
real-estate owner. If these men are
not typical Americans it is hard to say
where they will be found. Philadelphia

THE CROWN SUCCEEDS THE
CROSS.

Our highest joys succeed our griefs,
And peace is born of pain;
Smiles follow bitter, binding tears,
As sunshine follows rain.
We gain our rest through wear r,ness,
From bitter draw the sweet;
Strength comes from weakness, hope from
fear,
And victory from defeat.
After dark and dreary day
The stars illume the night,
Frution aspiration crowns,
And faith is lost in sight.
We reap where we have sown the seed,
Gain is the fruit of loss;
Life springs from death. and at the end,
The Crown succeeds the Cross.

THE C0NVALESCENCE OF THE
PRESIDENT.

But a few hours since and the
Presidents life hung by thread
the nation watched with bated breath
and palpitating heart for the end OF
the giant struggle of Love and
Science and Human Vitality with the
grim monster Death the place-hun-
tiers and the sensation-mongers had
already begun to speculate upon and
consider inevitable the triumph of
Lilies great enemy; and wall of
sorrow burst from the saddened
hearts OF all the people of the earth.
As last resort, Science determined
upon the patients removal to Long
Branch, in the hope that the invigo-
rating breezes of old Ocean would
strengthen its ally, Vitality, in the
desperate struggle. But Ocean re-
fused to give succor and the hot
breath of the Sun-god leagued itself
with Death, and the battle seemed
almost over.
And then great Love, satisfied that
human agencies were weak and pow
erless,. bent the knee in humble suppl
cation to Him whose infinite power
and mercy alone can give life A ma
ton prayed.
And the nations prayer was an
swered. Almost before the suppl
cants arose, the cool breezes of Ocean
began to play around the fevered
brow of the sufferer, while down
from the Northwest cold wave sped.
dissipating the to1rid, scorching at
mosphere, and replacing it with the
health-giying, balmy air of Autumn.
Life again had conquered.
To-day the physicians say the loved
patient is convalescent And to-day,
in place of Thursdays dirge of sor-
row and wall of supplication, a paan
of praise and thanksgiving ascends to
the throne of the Omnipotent.
