g. CHRISTIAN COOPERATION. The real

League of Connecticut" is attracting
much attention among business men
(practical business men being leading
characters in the story, and many let
ters have been received heartily APP
prcciating its purpose, which is to SUI G.
gest practical methods of Christian CO.
operation rather than Christian union.
A western lawyer writes as follows
81 wish 10 express my personal thanks
for the article about the Christian
League in the November Century, and
my appreciation of its broad, sound,
true teachings. 1t is the first practical
suggestion | have ever heard or seen in
print, looking to the essence and fulfil
ment, in the broad meaning, of our
Lords teachings; and ii will, | trust
and think, have broad and general
influence. The Christian League of
Connecticut was founded by phenome-
nally practical, prompt. clear headed,
warm hearted, and common sense
Christians, such as are not readily
gathered in real life, and l shall feel
greatly interested in the development
the realization of such league is not
among the possibilities, the very sug-
gestion of what such an organization
might accomplish, may lead to efforts
toward Christian unity that shall far
exceed in results what has been DONE"

john w. Benson, colored docto,
residing in Philadelphia, has had 0
vision which he insists portends bloody
times for 1884. The doctor says his
vision appeared to him about 4 O'Clock
in the morning and he describes it as
follows:
L was neither awake nor asleep, SO il
was not dream. 1t seem to be about
ten O'Clock in the morning and two
suns appeared in the sky. The under
sun was blood red and seemed station
airy. The sky was all in blaze and |
saw vast army of white men gathering
in the southwest. A minute later a
ctolored army appeared, and at its
head was Gen. Grant, on whose saddle
cloth were the figures "1So4." Firing
began and terrible battle ensued, at
the close of which the white army
stacked their arms. Hundreds of co.,
ored women and children now appear
ed, and in their midst rose a beautiful
woman bearing banner on which APP
peared figure OF the Goddess of Lib
erty. Just then a terrible storm arose
and the vision was swept away.
DR.. Benson says his vision portends
a terrible war in 1884; that he has
never been mistaken yet.

of Mrs. Samuel Evarts, which took
place on Monday last, after q short i'll

one OF those women with whom it is
pleasure to meet; one of unexcep-
tionable character, with a deep rooted
love OF truth and uprightness which
grew stronger as years wore on. In
early life she became a christiana and a
member of the church, with whom she
has faithfully walked, maintaining a
christian character worthy of emula-
ton. Early in the rebellion she gave
her only son for the cause of the Union.
whose body now rests in a soldiers
grave, Almost broken hearted she
sought her Savior and through Him
FOUND relief. AS friend and neighbor
she was ever true and kind; as wife
devoted, thoughtful, hopeful; as a
mother loving, affectionatc; and while
the friend and community feel to
mourn her departure, we can but say
our loss is her gain. =
