SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

Baltimore has more colored Sunday
school scholars than any other city in
America.
EXP President Chadbourne, of VIII
iams College, has accepted the Presi-
dency of the Amherst Agricultural Col
lege.
President Seelye, of Amherst Col
lege, recently said to the Rhode Island
teachers: eff we are wise we shall make
the Bible the cornerstone and top-stone
in our education. ''------' '---...--.-
The families of Harvard students re-
Gently received circulars from the College
authorities asking: ''Do you have family
prayers?" And out of 741 families, how
many do you think answered Yesp Only
211. Is it any wonder Harvard should
be known as a free7thinking institution?
The pastor of Chicago Presbvte
rian church received the present of book
from his people, and on opening it found
$500 in bills between the leaves The
title of the book, % One Year Abroad
was significant, and the pastor may take
the hint, though he has to shorten the
time.-N. Y. Examiner.
The new methods of instruction in
the Boston primary schools have in the
past three years worked wonders, the
only drawback being the want of time
to enable the teachers to acquire the
needful knowledge and skill. These
methods are, in effect, those which teach
children to think rather than to merely
remember.
The report of the fifty-ninth a,irsy~l
meeting of the Connecticut Baptist Con-
vention and of the sixty-third session OF
the Educational Society has been issued.
The whole number of churches in the six
associations of the State is 120. The
number of baptisms for the year was
5S8, gain of 237 over the precious year.
The total membership is 20,830. The
amount of money contributed for all
purposes during the year was $40, 435,
gain of $31, 736 over 1880. ....
President Eliot, of Harvard, recently
gave an instance of what a firm will and
mother-wit can do in enabling poor
young man to surmount the difficulties
in the way of his getting thorough edu-
cation: 1.-TWO years and half ago there
appeared in Cambridge, just before the
examination for admission, a young man
of rough exterior who came from a small
village in New York, where his father
earned a scanty living as a stone-mason.
He came to see me before the examina-
ton, and stated, among other things,
that he never had any teacher in Greek,
Latin or German; that he had begun to
learn these three languages only sixteen
months before; that out of these sixteen
months he had worked ten at his trade
as a stone-mason, and that his entire
quick capital was ten dollars. To my
establishment he passed an excellent ex-
amipation, succeeded in every subject
except Greek composition, which he had
never tried to learn. He was taken care
of at Cambridge, as many another has
been, and in his first year won scholar

one other amellorating possibility. 1t is
that the mass Of the comet when 1t strikes
the sun will be much less, than allowed
under either of the preceding hypothesis.
In that case the disturbance would be
much less than above described. How
much less it a0iU be no one can say now.
We close with one suggestion:
1t is amoug the possibilities that, at
some future time within century from
now, the greater part of the habitable
globe, if not all, and including that part
which has made what we know as history,
will be desolated-swept as with the be-
som of destruction. Is it not desirable
that we should devise some monument,
or monuments, as durable as the pyra-
mids of Egypt, though not necessarily as
