the Resurrection.
In the evening an excellent concert was
given by the Sabbath School.
At the Methodist church Rev. Mr.. Bradley
gave his audience an interesting sermon from
the text "He is risen.''
The Sabbath School in the evening gave
very entertaining and effective exercise en-
titled "The Morning." to an audience that
completely filed the church.
The churches here and at Cumberland Mills
will hold union services at the Congregational
church in this village at II o'clock in the
forenoon on Fast Day.
Next Sunday will close the Methodist con :
ference year and Rev. Mr.. Bradley, who has

Mr.. Jaques, the presiding elder, will deliver a
discourse to the young people in the evening.

A German paper has been compiling
the statistics of the worlds correspond
ence by post and by telegraph. The
latest returns which approached COM
pleteness were for the year 1877, in
which more than 4,000,000,000 letters
were sent, which gives an average of
100000 day, or 127 a second.
Europe contributed 3,036,000,000 let
ters to this great mass of correspond
ence; America, about 10000, 900; Asia,
150,000,000; Africa, 25,000,000; and
Australia, 50,000,000. Assuming that
the population of the globe was between
1,300,000,000 and 1,400,000,000, this
would give an average of letters per
head for the entire human race. There
were in the same year 38, 600 telegraph
stations, and the number of messages
may be set down for the year at be-
tween 110,000000 and Ill 100000, be.
ing an average of more than 305,00O
messages per day, 1851 per hour, and
nearly 212 per minute.

Condensed Milk.

The Scientific American gives the
following interesting account of how
condensed milk is prepared:
| When the milk is brought into the
factory it is carefully strained, placed
in cans or pals, which are put into a
tank of water kept hot by steam coils.
When hot it is transferred to larger
steam heated open vessels and quickly
brought to boil. This preliminary
heating and boiling has for its object
the expulsion of the gases of the milk,
which would cause it to foam in the
vacuum pan and also to add to the
keeping quality of the milk by destroy
ng the mould germs. A second strain
ing follows, after which the milk is
transferred to a vacuum pan, where, at
temperature below 1909 Fab, it
boils and is rapidly concentrated to any
degree desired. The vacuum pan en-
ployed is close vessel of copper, egg
shaped, about six feet high and four
and one-half feet in diameter. 1t is
heated by steam coils within, and by a
steam jacket without-inclosing the
lower portion. In one side of the dome
is small window through which gas
illuminates the interior, while on the
opposite side is an eye-glass through
which the condition of the contents
may be observed The pan is also pro-
vided with vacuum gauge and test
sticks. Much of the milk used in cities
is simply concentrated without any ad-
ditiOn of sugar. The process of con-
centration is continued in the vacuum
pan until one gallon of the milk has
been reduced to little less than a
quart-one volume of condensed milk
corresponding to about four and three
tenths volumes of milk. The follow
ing table of analyses by DIR. Waller
shows the composition of several brands
of this condensed milk sold in New
York city:

| For the porter to let me In;
Pve wandered along In the shadow land,
Through danger and care and SIM
| l wandered along with the moving thr0ng;
Now, weary and old wait,-
wait and pray for the porter to come
Aud open for me the gate.
Ninety eight! While here wait
turn to the vanished years,
And through them memory wanders again
Mid pleasures and smiles and tears.
Back through lifes morn so quickly gone,
And through the nOOntide heat,
follow along, till here l stand
With tired and weary feet.
Ninety EIGHT! All, soon the gate
Will open wide for me,
And shall pass through to meet the years
In the light OF eternity
The happy years, with cares and tears,
Sunk deep in life's stormy sea;
Oh, can wait with a calm, sweet trust,
Till the gate Is open for me.
Ninety eight! 'Tis growing late,
The evening shadows fall,
And soon the deeper shades OF night
Will settle over all.
Lord, let me rest on thy loving breast,
Oh, keep me close to thee;
Go with me through this night Of death,
And open the gate for me.
Yes, open the gate, the beautiful gate,
Which leads from night to day;
Where wrinkles and age and sorrow and care
Are passed forever away;
Where the blessed dawn of an endless morn
Shines round the spirits free,
0 Saviour? open the beautiful gate
And bid me enter with thee.

An editor in charge of religious
newspaper during the summer vaca-
tion of it's regular chief, announces
the scientific discovery that elderber-
ries are not so named because they are
any older than any other berries. They
derived their name from the fact that
an elder of church first discovered
their color by sitting down upon a
bunch of them at picnic.
One of the oldest churches in Lon

A singular sect of Christians
has recently arisen. and has become
localized at Lake View, one of the
northern suburbs of Chicago, and
at Valparaiso, Ind. The "Out-
comers," as the new sect is called,
believe in personal inspiration, in di-
rect communication with God, in a
literal rendering of the. Scriptures us
applied to mundane affairs, and in the
final salvation of all the universe, in
cluding also the devil. A party of
prominent disciples, led by Mr.. Spafford,
is about to go to Jerusalem to build up
the ruined places, and restore the
Jews there on fulflment of Bible
prophecy.
A handbook giving general ac-
count of the Jews, just issued by DIR.
r. Andree, estimates their total number
throughout the world at about 6,100,-
600. Only 10000 of the race are to
be found in Asia, 100000 in Africa,
5000 in America, and 10000 in Au.
stralia The great majority of the race,
more than 100000, live in Europe
ROumania contains far larger number
of Jews in proportion to its population
than any other European country
namely, IA per cent; while Norway
contains only 81 individuals of the race
The local distribution of the Jewish
population i'm different countries is
traced out with great pains by DR.. An
dree. Thus, in some of the Govern
ment districts of Russian Poland the
Jewish inhabitants constitute from 13
to 18 per cent. of the population. AL.
though for the whole of Germany the
Jewish element is only IL per cent. OF
the population, in the City of Berlin il
has increased to nearly per cent.
