PRESIDING ELDER WILSON last week,
at tbs Wilmington conferences of the NJ.
E. church, took occasion to denounce
camp-meetings, stating "the modern
amp-meeting which, like the Judas Is
CARROT, says, Hail Master and betrays
him with kiss, has appeared six times
in our midst, with some or all of its usu-
al concomitants of rowdyism, Sabbath
Decoration. Sunday school destruction
and church closing. If, in some Of
th ,se, the most sanguins expectations
were not realized, he must be unseason-
able. Shall We not rise against this
wi,kedness in this very conferenceH"
--DR. SWEET gives the mortality of
Newport, N. H., for 1883 at Ills per L.
600 inhabitints, n very low rate. The
remarkable features in his record are,
however, the small number of deaths
among young persons, aud the fact that
those who passed the age of so had an
average life Of 76 years. OF the thirty
who died, fourteen had passed or nearly
reached lhoir sOth year, their average
longevity being 81 years and 8 months.
The number attending school was 500.
Among these no death occurred during
the Year, and but one child died who
was under school age. Such figures
+ bring very forcibly to mind the fact that
to keep down the mortality bills we
must look carefully to the health of child
ren.

THE signs of the times show that We
are failing to present Christ properly tc
the great mass Of people, said the Rev.
W. S RainSford Sunday in his sermon
OF st, Georges church, New York, on
"Signs of the Times in Questionable
Life" Throughout the world there is
observed an increasing tendency to dis
believe Christianity, Its foundations
are being sapped. The belief has been
allowed to spread that Christianity il
something intended exclusively for the
upper crust. The Church has allowed
1t to be understood that her attitude
toward the working people is that they
must be content to be quiet, and that she
the church, wants nothing to do with
trade unions and labor agitation and
communism. This is shutting the eyes
10 the fast that these very social eonvus
ions are the ores that make the world.
just as true as Jesus Christ walked upon
this earth are His words, / will over
turn and oyerturn until He comes. Peo,

that shuts up the man HfaetoTy and throws

preaching and open churches, for Gu
best preachers do not reach the pee pl,
and many pewholders merely struggl
for the possession of pews for the soeia
caste it gives them. There Is a demauC
for something that will bring home I,
mon the truth that Christianity is thei
hope and salvation. and that the scofin,
lecture against it, which is made up ou
of the legends of the Old Testament an,
certain so-called discrepancies in tn
New, and served up at fifty cents per au
ditor, does not represent the true geniu
and character of genuine ChristiaAity. e"
