The evangelical LutEerans of Germany
do little themselves in the way of evan
gelisation, and they give little encourage
ment to any one else who tries to rouse
the land of Luther from its lethargy.
Says the N. Y. Christian AaUocate:
1.-THE population of Berlin is 100000
souls. Of this great number, by actual
count, only 10000 attend any Church.
Among other noble efforts to bring the
gospel to the neglected people, toward
the close Of last year Lord Radcliffe, from
England, began series of services. In
short time, though speaking through an
interpreter, he won his way to large
membership of sympathetic hearers
Later, he was joined by Pastor o. Stock
mayer, of Switzerland, and by DIR. ]. Bae-
deker. Many were converted through
these good laborers. But how were such
efforts regarded by the Church press?
Simply with chilling words. The EOan-
gelacoJ Church L1ader pronounces a severe
criticism, and yet is compelled to close
its TRADE with the humiliating confession
that the State Church is doing next to
nothing, and that, if it does not do more,
voluntary missionaries should come to
Berlin and evangelist its destitute mil
lions"
Oh, for an awakening in Germany
amongst the noble German people,
Cali the Lutheran Missionary Socie-
ties of the world, says DIR. Christlieb,
" do not equal, in number of workers,
the Church Missionary Society of
England. And in contributions not

Their says, in accounting for the short
coming Of Germans in giving, that
it is due to the lack of 81 the salutary self
discipline Of the voluntary but regular
conservation of definite per cent of our
incomes, at the very time of reception,
for Christian objects, in which, 1 have
reason to believe, lies technically the
secret Of the greater liberality in the
lands Of Englisb-speaking people"
The trouble does not lie here. It lies
in the desiccating influence Of unregu-
lated and unreverential speculation 1t
lies in the rationalistic spirit which has
dried up that copious flow of religious
emotion which burst from the great heart
Of Luther. Luther drew from Heaven !;
modern Germany draws from the museum
and the library. They need Wesley
to proclaim anew the doctrine of the new
birth. Then they will give. They need the
spirit Of their own Gossner, who, from the

IT is not true that party is being
formed containing Reform plank which
is grounded on the principle of providing
places for nearly everybody. While it
would evoke an outburst of enthusiasm
never before witnessed in patriotic cir
cles, the scheme is impracticable. Even
in a great country like this, the number
of bones from the national tables-after
the great dignitaries have been served
falls necessarily. far below the statistics
Of the population entitled to vote.

A CONTEMPORARY says, eve publish
this morning two communications that
strike US as being very bitter in their
tone, and warns its readers not to be
too indignant when they read denuncia-

1t seems to us that the better way
would be not to publish such com
nunications. Then there would be no
need of the warning.

the Sunday Magazine. If the figures are
correct, they are very remarkable.

THERE is nothing we admire more than
loyalty to principle; but it is mistake,
whenever one cannot have in every de-
tail all of his opinions adopted, to think
at once of " disruption" as a remedy. So
talk some in Scotland and Ireland and
in this country about the music question.
There is limit even to the divisibility
of matter.

questions are applied to each of fourteen
successive formations included in the ST.

is six hundred and forty, giving an aver
age of 45.71 to each, and the results Of
accurate study of each species in its char
acters, its varieties, its geographical and
geological range, are expressed in the fol-
lowing short statement, which should

az have thought it well to direct atten-
ton to these memoirs of Barrande, be-
cause they form a specimen of conscien-
tious work with the view of ascertaining
if there is any basis in nature for the
doctrine of spontaneous evolution of spe-
cies, and, am sorry to say, striking
contrast to the mixture of fact and fancy
on this subject which too often passes cur
rent for science in England, America, and
Germany. Barrande's studies are also
well deserving the attention of our
younger men of science, as they have be-
fore them, more especially in the widely
spread Pal@ozoic formations of America,
an admirable field for similar work. In
an appendix to his first chapter Barrande
mentions that the three men who in their
respective countries are the highest au-
thorities on Pal@ozoic brachiopods, Hall,
Davidson, and De Koninck, agree with
him in the main in his conclusions, and
he refers to an able memoir of D'Archiac
in the same sense, on the cretaceous bra
chiopods."
