At a meeting of the Baptist Union at
Liverpool, Eng, Mr.. w. F. Lockhart said
he was not believer in brass band re-
igion, and he had suffered some oppro-
brium because he could not adopt the new
tangled notions of the last twenty years.
With regard to Especial" services, he
thought that at the present time they were
in danger of being over evangelised and
over reviyalised. What they wanted was
to get Evangelismsand Revivalism into the
ordinary services. They had depended too
much on outside aid-on professional
evangslists. They were some who came
across the Atlantic and took large sums of

derstand that he would be pleased to learn
at what sum she held her property, and
that he would send her check for the
amount. Mrs. Freeman, who is wealthy
also, replied that she had for long time
felt the necessity of having a larger flower
garden, and that if Mr.. Corcoran would
kindly denote the value he placed upon the
Arlington hotel property she would be
highly delighted to send him check.
Mrs. Elizabeth Stuart Phelps has just
appeared in q new novel entitled "Doctor
Zay," which Messrs. Houghton, Mif1in Il
Go. publish. 1t is the story of a woman
physician who practiced in small town
in the Maine woods. A Boston young man
visits the village on business, and has the
stereotyped accident which makes him fall
into the hands of Doctor Fay, who is a
barely interesting female notwithstanding
her somewhat novel occupation. The
young man is deplorably weak individual
and neither character is strongly pictured.
The whole story is of the courtship of the
injured man during convalescence. 1t will
be read because of the author, though it
adds nothing.to her reputation.
