Clyde, N. Y.--Some months ago the Rev.
William H. Bates (the pastor of this church)
introduced responsive readings into the Sabbath
worship. After continuing it awhile. he con-
cluded that it was question whether it was
preferred by the congregation, and gave it up.
Since then he has been requested by so many
of the people to resume the custom. that Sab
bath before last he did so.
There is, we learn, blessed, and indeed
remarkable work of grace in Blackburn Univer-
sity, with evident tokens of the presence of the
Holy Spirit, in the renewed conservation of
Christian students and faculty, and in the con-
version of many students to Christ-N Y.

Our Church. Funds.-The receipts of the
Foreign Board of the Presbyterian Church, from
all sources, from May LIST, 1882, to February
lst' 1883, have been $4,000 Last year, in
the same period, they were $3OO,259, showing
an increase this year of nearly $4,000. 1t is
gratifying to notice, too, that this increase
comes largely from the living members of the
Church, over $4,000 falling under that head.
But the balance sheet of the Treasurer, on Feb
ruary list, showed that there was an excess of
expenses over receipts this year of $42444.
Last year, at the same date there was balance
OF SlO897 in favor of the Board. Thus the
treasury is $53.341 worse off than last wear
This is on account of the enlargement in the
work.
For the Home Board the outlook is verv
much the same. The receipts to February LIST
this year have been 1915, 746, against 1851 OIL.
