JewS The london DutIooL cave.

IT is not true that there. are no re-
suits from Christian missions among the
Jews. The London Outlook says:
The Rev. j. de lie Roi, pastor at Breslau, in a
recent article has shown that 800 Jews are
annually received into the Christian Church by
baptism: And many of these are men of educa-
ton and position. In the article referred to it
is shown that among the converts in Austria in
1881 there were six physicians. three professors,
three barrsters, three State officials, two officers
in the army ten students and twelve merchants
Fifty converts have been baptized in connection
with the London Mission of the Presbyt erian
Church, two of them within the last fortnight
Under the eminently able and judicious, as well
as earnest and energetic, guidance of the Rev.
Theodor j. Meyer, this mission, by Gods bless
ing. continues to prosper and we have author
!ty for saying that the opportunities for preach
ing Christ to the Jews in connection with it are
greater at present than at any period of its his
tory.
To this We may add that the
London society, in connection with
the Church of England, for the pro-
motion of Christianity among the
Jews, has been laboring faithfully for
many years in their behalf, and now
there are 5000 converted Israelities in
England and 400 ministers preaching
the gospel.

ONE of the latest utterances of Ke-
shub Chunder Sen, the great Hindu re-
ligious reformer, whose death we re-
Gently announced, was as follows:
"The success of Christian missions is
no longer problem. For myself l can
say feel no misgivings. l fully be
lieve Christ has come into India, and
has taken possession of midas heart.
Some say India 1oW be Christ's, but is
not yet. / hate the idea of conueat-
ing Christs success in India in the fu-
ture tense. 1t is thing already
achieved. When a native of India
bears testimony, let not foreigners dis
pute it. / say emphatically that the
Spirit of Christ has gone into the depths
of midas heart. ] declare that the
sanctlfying and civilising influences of
Christ's life and teachings are working
wonders in this land"

In making confession of his sins in a
Methodist revival meeting in Caldwell,
VIM. King told of having robbed store,
in 1863, of $500 worth of goods. The
next day he called upon the proprietors,
and paid them that amount with inter-
est for the intervening twenty years.
He has since been arrested for the
theft, and is now lying in jail.
This may be law, but it is not sense.

WE have not read "Arius the Lib
yam" but as the ladies are some of them
reading it, we publish the following
from the Presbyterian Banner:
1t seems that "Arius the Libyan" has crept
into some Sabbath School libraries, where 1T
ought not to be. 1t gives strong picture of
the world as it was in the early ages of Chris
tianity, but it is direct attack upon the ortho-
dox doctrine of the Trinity and upon the early
Christian Fathers" It's evident object is 70

IT has been usual to represent that
Buddhism has more followers than
any other religion. Edwin Arnold put
them at 45O,OOO,OOO But the veteran
Chinese missionary, DIR. Happier, shows
in recent article that this is all de-
fusion. The Confucianists in China
outnumber the Buddhists, but the Con
fucianists are often not named, and are
simply summed up under the heading
" Buddhists." DR.. Happer's conclusion,
after a close examination of the figures
of the census of various Eastern ma
tions, is that the Buddhists number 72,-
342, 407. He confines himself to the
subject, but at the close makes single
remark which is quite discouraging to
the Buddhists of Christian lands "In
China the Buddhists are the drones of
society and are lowest in morality, the
heather themselves being judges"

L. @. G. Lamar is said by his Mississippi

United States Senate. OF late years most of his

nature that only man Of scrupulous integri-

All honor to Senator Lamar There
is the true sense of honor. A man can
not be too particular about paying his

creditor, but not always in the judg-
ment of heaven.

THE work of the fashionable JEWS

THE work of the fashionable Jewish
synagogue of New York is thus de-
scribed by writer in the N. Y. Exam
iner: "The expenses of Temple Eman-
uel are not far from $4,000 per annum,
and study of one of their financial re-
ports is most interesting and enter
tanning to Christian. Rabbi Gottheil
receives salary of 100000; his assist
ant, DR.. Ruben, receives $4,000. The
clerk of the congregation receives 81
600; the sexton s. 200, and the janitor,
5000. The choir and organ cost about
$1,000 a year. The religious schools
connected with the Temple cost nearly
$4,000. They also have an annual con-
tribution of large sum for free bur
ials; help support downtown Sabbath
Schools, pay the expenses of delegates
to their Convention, and life insur-
ance premium for one of their preach
ers. Their pew rentals amount to more
than $4,000. Their Cemetery Asso-
citation eXpends more than $17, 900.

Rabbits in Fourth street, which is con

OVER sixty thousand dimes, says the
Foreign Missionary, have been contrib
uted by the children in our Northern
Presbyterian Sabbath Schools for the
purpose of extending the blessings of
Christmas to the benighted Of heather
lands. We mean, Of course, the greater
and higher blessings of Christmas
knowledge Of Eternal Life through Je-
sus Christ, whose birth we celebrate.
This is fair beginning, considering the
lateness of the appeal that was made.
We hope to continue this effort, broaden
it, and deepen it from year to year 1t
is most appropriate and most impera-
lively due to Christ and to the millions
for whom He died.
Some of the Sabbath Schools. the
Missionary adds finding themselves un-
able to join in the Christmas offerings
at the close of the year have signifed
their intention to send an Easter offer
ing. This will, in the spirit of it,
amount to the same thing and be
equally welcome

late but the other train was on time. The
west bound train was showing a white
light, but red light should have been
shown to the Martinsburg train to de-
tain it until the other train had safely
passed the switch. Whether this light
was shown will have to be determined by
investigation. Michael Riley, engineer Of
the Martinsburg train, was killed,
and his fireman, Solomon Fog
Ter, badly injured. The engineer
and fireman of the other train escaped
with slight injuries. No one else was
killed. The injured were as follows:
David Drill of Pittsburg, express agent,

NEW YORK, July 12.-John f. Henry,
President of the National Anti-monopoIy
organization, said to-day: 81 have not
heard from Gen. Butler since Cleveland
was nominated, but from what he said to
me before going to Chicago / am conf
dent that he will not support Cleveland.
He cannot do it. He has formally ac-
cepted the nomination of the Anti-monop-
olists and he telegraphed to me from Chi
cago Thursday saying that he would
never consent to the nomination of a mo-
nopolist. That Cleveland Is monopolist
is proven by his acts. He ap-
pointed railroad and canal COM
missiOners in the interest of the
railroads, the canal commissioner
being New York Central Railroad man,
and his veto of the five cent fare bill and
twelve hour bill for horse car drivers and
conductors are of the same parcel. Gen.
Butler and all the anti-monOpolists and
workingmen are against Cleveland. The
Democratic party has stultified itself for
years. They have been protesting anti
monopoly beliefs IN their platforms, and
now they take first class monopolist as
their leader. There will be majority of
$4,000 against Cleveland in this State.''
