SCHOOL AND CHURCH.


Missionary Hens Nest is the
name of Baptist Church in Yalabusha
County, Mississippi, from the fact that
the ladies' OF the church contribute eggs
to the missionary cause.
The little island of Atafu, in the
South seas, is said to be the only
purely Christian country in the world.
Every adult on the island is member
Of the church on confession of faith.
The American Bible Society has
received letters from ConstantinOple
indicating disposition on the part of
the Turkish Government to withdraw
its objections to the distribution of the
Scriptures.-N. Y. Examiner.
"A bright little girl in the First
Presbyterian Sabbath School at Hud-
son, N. Y, upon being asked what sort
of spirit that of the Pharisee was, re-
piled: 1T was doing good thing, and
then feeling big over it.
-''It might have been wise,' re-
marked Bostonian, Ito have kept the
churches open these cool summer Sun
days, and shut them instead when the
bitter winds of January are blowing,
but it wouldn't have been fashionable.
Comfort rarely is. "-Boston Transcript.
The Congregational statistics of
Connecticut, Just issued, show January
1, 1888, POT churches;33 had no minister.
There were 54,663 members. In 1882
the additions were 2,303, and removals
2,238-a gain of only IS. The addi-
tions by profession exceeded the re-
movals by death by 213. The Sunday
school enrolment was 1875.
The opening lecture of w. Robert
son Smith, in Cambridge University.
as Professor of Arabic, broke a nom
conformist silence in that Institution of
221 years. Nothing of the kind has
been suffered before since the act of
uniformity expelled dissenters from the
universities.
Let it be understood and remein-
bered that every good school taught,
helps every other good school, be it
public or private. There need be no
| jealousy and no antagonism-th there
should be none between the public and
private school. ol.-Anseric6n JouYsGL or
Education.
DIR. John Hall, speaking recently,
| thus eulogized stProtestantism." He
| was dealing with the assertion that
Professionalism is failure:'' How"
asks the Doctor, ''can that be failure
which in A.. d. 1900 did not exist, and
in 1888 controls populations to the ex-
tent of 408, 900, 900, while its rivals, tho
Roman and Greek churches, combined,
control 2S0.00O.O00?
The Quakers at Winthrop, Me-,
| have introduced wonderful innovation
| on old customs. They are building
meeting house which is actually to be
| beautiful. 1t will exceed in its decora-
| tive splendor any other Friends meet
ing house in this country. Other meet
| ing houses are bare and unpainted.
This one will be tastefully upholstered.
1t will also be finished in hard wood.
A bell is talked of, but it is thought
that the conservative tendencies of the
Friends will be sufficiently strained by
the upholstery, the hardwood finish,
and the generally ecclesiastical appear
ance of the house. This denomination
has hitherto stoutly resisted all innoVa.
| tions of this sort.-BOstoB Post.

Shelby, Tenn, on July II, 1874, to
twelve years in the penitentiary at hard
