The success OF the Salvation Army"
In Great Britain is an accomplished fact.
1t has now the sympathy and approba-
ton OF good men from all the churches,
and from those high in official and social
position. 1t is reaching the goddess
masses as is no other agency.
1t is stimulating Wesleyans and other
churches to greater efforts to serve the
people. There was opportunity and
need for the audacious Undertaking of
the Army, with respect to those whom
church and chapel did not reach. Its
motto is "Am aggressive Christaonity,"
to carry the Gospel to those who will not
come to the Sanctuary; to arrest the at
tentlon and startle men from fatal sleep.
The peculiar method of warfare is
acknowledged to be successful among the
lowest and middle classes, and the sim
cerity and devotion of the leader is I'M
questioned. The family of Mr.. Booth
seems to be united in Christ's work. One
daughter has charge of the Training
Home for females, another is preparing
to introduce the work in France. A son
has charge of the Home for males.
They give evidence of disinterestedness,
and thorough, enthusiastic conservation
to the Master, and intense love to the
lost. This love and enthusiasm is felt
need in the church of every name and in
every land. We bid God speed to every
effort to save the lost upon which the
Holy Father sets his seal of approval.

The Salvation ARMY.

Statistics just received show a marked
advance of the Salvation Army" in
England during the past year. Officers
engaged in the Army in Great Britain
and Ireland, number 1868. 3,77O SER
vices are held every week. Trained
speakers reported to be 6,18O. Halls,
theatres, warehouses, and other build
ings occupied for meetings number 224,
with sittings for III, 900. The num-
Der of people reached in the open-air
gatherings is 100000.
A Training Home has been established
during the year 1880, for both male and
female workers. In these schools the
outlines of Bible History and Doctrine
are taught, and other necessary prepare
ton for work in which they are to be en-
gagged. The War Org, a weekly news
paper, has been commenced, which already
hasa circulation of 10000. Itisintensely
Christian, advocating entire holiness and
devotion to Christ its readers are those
who heretofore have read nothing at all,
or only the lowest and most debasinp
literature, and many conversions and the
awakening Of slumbering churches have
been already chronicled results. A Sal
walton Printing Office has been estab-
lished, by which healthy and instruc-
tive literature is to be disseminated over
the world. Homes have already been
founded for the sick and overwhelmed
laborers. Thirty-seven new towns have
been entered in England, Scotland, and
Wales, and multitudes of conversations
are reported. From February to July
Mrs. Booth conducted meetings in the

Theory of Evolution.

Professor Max Muller makes the fol-
lowing strong point against Mr.. Darwin's
Theory of Evolution" He insists that
Ph1loIogy points out the real specific
difference between man and the lower
animals. 1t erects barrier which has
never been passed. He says: "I can
not follow Mr.. Darwin, because 1 hold
that this question is not to be decided in
an anatomical theatre only. There is, to
my mind, one difficulty which Mr.. OAR
win has not sufficiently appreciated and
which [ certainly do not feel able to
remove. There is, between the whole
animal kingdom on the one side, and
man, even in his lowest state, on the
other, a barrier which no animal has ever
crossed, and that barrier is-zonoatooe.
By no effort Of understanding, by no
stretch Of imagination, can I explain to
myself how language could have grown
out of any thing which animals possess,
even if we granted them millions Of years
for that purpose"

back from the inn, where his wife's over-
sion to the circumcision of her son had
like to have cost him his life, fearing lest
they should prove farther hinderance. :"
With such excellent indorsers as these,
not many, l apprehend will insist that 1
ought to modify the inference which, in
NY "Peep," 1 drew from Zipporah's be-
havior at the inn.
"R. R. H." says: "We do not think it
specially comforting to the Christian to
be told that he who has given to us so
many heaven-sent lessons and directions
to guide us in selecting wife and con-
Quoting family, was himself signal
failure in this respect" Neither do L.
But then we must not forget that Moses
heaven-sent lessons and directions for
choosing wife, are one thing, while
Moses success in the application of those
directions in his own case is quite an
other thing. 1t is not every good and
wise man who practices what he breaches
And it is no impeachment of the sound
ness and value Of Moses doctrine to say
that when he came to choose wife for
himself, he made signal failure. Sol
ONION, more than any other man, abounds
in wholesome lessons on this subject but
Solomon, as we all know, learned his own
lessons very inadequately.
"R. R. H" says: "Zipporah and Moses
lived continuously together during the
forty years from their marriage and dur
ing the many years which elapsed be-
tween the time when she rejoined her
husband and the time of his death, and
in all these years we never find in the
record of their lives ripple of infelicity."
No! Nor ripple of anything else Zip
porah passes quite out of view. And
confess that the very silence of the record
is the most suspicious thing of all. If
Zipporah had been, through all those
years, the sweet, amiable, pious, helpful
wife "R. R. H." would have us fancy,
then her passage into complete oblivion
becomes unaccountable.
And so, Messrs. Editors, 1 have acted
upon "R. R. HIS suggestion. 1 have
taken" another peep at Moses married
life. and 1 have found nothing in the
former peep that seems to require mate
rial modification. 1t would be pleasant
to think that Zipporah was every thing
that the great law-giver could have de-
sired in his wife; but am obliged to
think that she fell very far short In
deed, | find the impression growing upon
me that her unamiabeness was used as
one OF the instruments in that chasten ng
and subduing process that resulted in the
transformation of the petted, spoiled, and
arrogant son of Pharaoh's daughter int,
the naeekest of men.

ARE You REALLY S1NCERE?-Here is
a true anecdote, and one showing us a
very practical way of testing the charac-
ter of our Christian profession An old
Methodist preacher once offered the fol-
lowing prayer in a prayer-meeting:-
Lord, help us to trust Thee with our
souls" Amen, was responded by many
voices. Lord, help us to trust Thee with
our bodies" Amen" was responded
with as much warmth as ever lord,
help us to trust Thee with our naoneu;"
but to this petition the "Amen" was not
forthcoming. Is it not strange that when
religion touches some mems pockets it
cools their ardor at once and seals their
lips? We often hear men talk of the
peace Of God in the heart" and to the
phrase we raise no objection; but it has
often occurred to us that if the "peace of
God" could only get into some peoples
pockets it would be blessed thing.
