Stockport, England, has Sunday school
| which consists in its membership 400
teachers, and $500 children, and nearly
$4,000 children have passed through the

teen violins among the instruments.
Harmony Goes not reign among the col
ored bretheren at Washington. The
younger element alleges that the represen-
tative elders pose as anch only 'to feather
their own nests.'' The rising negro
generation evidently comprehends what is
ment by enlightened self-interest?
The average salary of Methodist minis
ters in New England is $780, With such
attractive inducements for Giving" and
the raising of families, it is quite remark
able that there is such a dearth of
ministers. 1t is wonder that young men
| do not crowd the sanctifed affairs in
inconvenient numbers!
The vicar of Bomburgh states that the
tomb erected in memory of Grace Darling
is sadly in need of restorations 1t is
| pity this announcement was not made
| three months ago. A contribution box at
tached to Grace Darling's boat at the fish
| cries exhibition would have received the
necessary funds easily.
Right Rey. William b. Elder, D. D., the
coadjutor bishop of the archdiocese of
Cincinnati, will succeed the late Bishop
Purcell, he having been transferred from
| Natchez Jan. 80, to Cincinnati with the
| right of succession. He was born in Bait
imore in the year 1918, and received his
early education in the schools of that city
Long Branch is said to be the oldest
town in that part of New Jersey. and the
queer little church about which the houses
| are clustered was originally built in Queen
| Anne's time, although but little is left of
the original structure except the high
backed governors pew, the silver commun-
ion service, the Bible and the old iron
| cross surmounted by crown.
A young man in Houston county, Ga,
was recently converted under circumstances
outwardly similar to those which resulted
in the transformation of Saul of Tarsus.
During a revival service he scornfully re-
iected the offer of Bible, and went home
to work on his farm. While in the field
great light shone about him and he fell to
the ground. He had been struck by
lightning, and when he had recovered
ha lost M firoa in bur;,,
Bible, and few days afterward he was
| one of the most jealous converts in the
community.
How the Mormons increase their power
and numbers is thus explained by a Salt
Lake gentleman: ''The new converts,
taken from all parts of the world, are, as a
rule, superstitious and ignorant. They are
brought here under false promises, and be-
fore discovering the lies they have been
told are made to marry several women.
That done, the church tells them they have
| sinned against the laws of the United
States, and that their only safety now lies
in keeping their faith with the Mormon
clans. They are too ignorant to doubt
this; they are IN the coils; in debt, and they
have to stay"
The Convocation of Canterbury, on mo-
ton of the Bishop of Lincoln, has taken
action with reference to the use of fer
nented wine at communion, which may
have serious effect on the modern plan
| of substituting "unfermented" wine to
that commonly used at the service. 1t is
to dilute the wine with water sufficiently
to destroy its intoxicating quality when
ever there sis need'' of it. This sounds
| sensible enough, but it is to be feared that
| trouble would ensue in the application
that is, in determining when there is a
case of need, and how it is to be applied
to affect individuals without also affecting
a whole congregation. ...
Girl graduates in England wear gowns
precisely like those worn by university
men, and made by the same tailor At
present they have only donned the B. A.,
or Bachelor of Art robe, which is black
and brown, and the B. S. G., or Bachelor
of Science, which is yellow and black, but
no doubt in time they will attain to those
of higher degrees. The long black silk
gowns, which are all of the same pattern,
with large cap-like sleeves gathered into
the shoulder; the skirts full and flowing,
were worn over ordinary short black
dresses, with lace or crepe lisse frills ap-
pearing above them at the throat. The
ladies, rich in academicrl honors, wore
white gloves and carried the square white
college caps in their hands.
An irreverent observer of the English
bishops describes them as they recently
| appeared in the house of lords: "There
sat some seventeen elderly persons in epis-
copal robes, their puffed lawn sleeves sug-
gesting in rather curious way that a
feminine element, not youthful either, had
somehow found its way into the house
Look at their faces. The stamp of their
profession is on them. Nobody would say
that these are men of the world, or men of
business, or men of affairs. The pinched
lips, the eyes mostly too near together, the
skin drawn firmly over cheek and chin,
the sloping corners of bitter mouths, the
