WE clip from the Paris correspondence
of the N. Y. Observer the following re-
port of the remarks made by M. Reveil-
laud on his return home from the United
States, at meeting held in the American
chapel, Paris, on the last Sabbath in Jan
uary:
Mons. Reveillaud, who was warmly welcomed
by the audience, reviewed briefly the present
religious condition of France the opportunities
everywhere offered for evangelistic effort. the
readiness of the people to hear the gospel, the
means and agencies for evangelisation at the
disposal of the French Professionals, and some of
the results already attained REWRITING then
to their special mission to America he said that,
before crossing the Atlantic, and still more since
his return, the United States had seemed to him
to furnish a striking example of what the Chris
tan religion could do for a nation He had
been impressed with the large measure of free
oom enjoyed by the people, with their love of
order and the respect everywhere shown for
their Constitution,-in striking contrast with
the dlsrespect and chronic revolutions and in
ternal teuds which characterize the peoples of
South America. He attributed the respect for
law, the self-control. the peace and prosperity
In the United States, to an education based
upon the Bible; while the discords, rest
lessness and frequent Instructions in the
South American States he thought could be
Traced, In large measure, to the assertion of
absolute and dogmatic power in Church and
State. In addressing French audiences, since
his return, he had found that descriptions of the
life, the enterprise the liberty. the progress and
general prosperity of the American people
closely allied as they are with Evangelical
Christianity and popular education not only
awaken deep interest but furnish powerful ar
guments for the truth of Christianity. Amer
lea, said the speaker. is living illustration
that Li6erte and religion can go together and
that nations enjoy true freedom only so far as
liberty finds its guarantee and its restraints in
the gospel" Having spent three months in
America, the speaker found, on his return. that
he had left behind part of his heart.
Mons Reveillaud closed his fervent and ele-
quent address by gratefully acknowledging the
cordial reception, the generous sympathy and
unstinted hospitality everywhere accorded to
them In their journeyings, also the liberal re-
spouse to their appeals for pecuniary aid ; and
expressed the hope that they had witnessed but
the beginning of deep and widespread interest
IN the work Of Evangelisation in France among
the churches Of various names in America The
two countries had many things in common.
Their helpful alliance began a century ago
They were still bound together by many ties of
sympathy, of interest, and of friendship. AS
France had aided America in her struggle for
national independence 30 let America now aid
France in her holy war for spiritual ndepen-
dence and, with Gods blessing, her efforts to
break away from the double bondage Of super
stitlon and inhdelity would not be in vain

The New Revision of the Bible

In answer to the many inquiries we are daily
receiving for information regarding the New
Revision. we beg to state that the Testament
only will be published probably during the
month of May The Old Testament not being
finished, the complete Bible cannot be issued
for four or FIVE years yet. Styles and prices
have not been determined on, but the Trade
and general public can rest assured that the
books will be sold at such prices as will com
mend them to the popular feeling, so as to reach
all classes.
The Trade will do well to reserve their or
ders for the Authorized Edition, which will
not be equalled for beauty and clearness Of
type by any reprint. Due notice will be
given, prior to publication, giving all needed
information not now obtainable.

Edward /, who drove the entire race out
of his Kingdom. In Germany, Italy,
France, and Spain they were treated no
better. They were taxed in every con-
ceivable way. In Germany. on one occa-
sion, they were massacred by wholesale
in Treves, Metz, Cologne, Worms, Spires,
Strasburg etc. The word Hep (Hiero-
solynaa est perdita, Jerusalem is taken),
pronounced by Roman priest, was the
signal for butchery.
They have survived it all. 1t has been
impossible to exterminate the Jews by
the sword or legislation. They are more
wealthy and more powerful to-day than
ever before since their dispersion. They
largely control Europe at this moment.
The wealthiest family in the world
the Rothschilds-are Jews. The late
prime minister over the naughty mobiles
of Britain is Jew. The foremost man
in France is Jew. Within brief
period Count Cancrin and Count Arnim
were ministers in Russia and Prussia.
Marshal Soult was Jew. Judah P.
Benjamin, who has achieved the most
wonderful success in his profession of any
lawyer of the day, is Jew. The Mayor
of Berlin is Jew. The late President
of the German Parliament (Simpson) was
Jew. Two-thirds of the LAWYERS in
Berlin are Jews. The whole of the LIB
eral" press is conducted by Jews. The
bankers, the financiers, the great capital
lists, are Jews of course. They were the
bankers of Europe in the palmy days of
Venice. Spinoza, the Memberships,
Meyerbeer, Offenbach, Neander, Auer-
bach, Heine, Borne, Ewald. were Jews.
We cannot put the Jews down. They
have the promise that was made to Abra-
ham. For they must be grated into their
own olive tree, when the fullness of the
Gentiles is come in.
We point the infdel to the Jew. There
is perennial miracle, whose waters, as
it were, flow from the very foot of the
pyramids through all the periods of his
tory.

HE ASTONISHING activity which pre-

many, particularly in Wdrtemberg and
Baden. It's influence is also felt in
Sweden, Denmark and Norway. The
clergy of the National Church in Ger
many are very unfriendly to this move
ment. But, in spite of official warnings,
the people it is always the people who
begin reforms are being more and more
attracted by the warm evangelical fer
vor OF the Methodist preachers. The
Pictism, which, through the influence of
Spencer in Frankfort-on-the- Maine, and
OF Bengel in Wurtemberg, took a deep
and permanent hold on the Christian
mind of southern Germany, is in natural
sympathy with Methodist revivals.

WE CANNOT repress special interest
in France.
Driven from the Prussian court in the
midst of the swamps of the department
of Ain, five miles from Geneva, Voltaire
fixed his residence at Ferney, in the lat
ter part of the last century Here he
built his chateau and improved every
thing around him. Strange to say, he
erected church, which is still standing,
and bears the inscription, "Deo erexit
Voltaire." Opposite stands Roman
Catholic church, in front of which is a
life-sized statue of the Virgin, inscribed
in Latin, "To the Queen of Heaven"
During the Revolution, in 1875, Pro-
testant congregation was formed in the
village of the great French infdel.
About twenty years ago M. Pasquet, a
man of warm evangelistic zeal and great
organising talent, took charge of this con-
gregation. By his energy, he has OBJ
tanned sort of informal primacy of the
whole department. Among other enter
prises he has created two orphanages.
which save many Protestant children
from an enforced education in the Roman
Catholic faith. He has also established
nine stations, with four regular pastors
and Ave evangelists in the department,
besides which occasional services are held
in forty seven places. Much work is also
done by colportage and Sunday Schools
and day schools. At Bourg, the capital
of the department "a town of $4,000 in
habitants) there are now six meeting
rooms, and everywhere there are sympa-
thetic listeners. M. Pasquet writes to
DIR. Blake, of the New College Mission
airy Society, Edinburgh, that he is greatly
embarrassed by want of funds. at be-
lieve," he says, &c if we had the money
necessary for employing new workers,
that the progress would be rapid"
While the spectacle presented in France
is largely merely reaction against Ro-
manism, still the fact remains that the
gospel is preached, and that there are
many who hear and receive it gladly.
