pany in 1866 sent an expedition 10
Alaska. The Atlantic ea1ic alone pre-
vented the building OF a telegraph line
from the United States across siberia to
Europe. Three million dollars had Teen

Jnited States, and jefferson c. Davis
was made the commander of the dis
trict, and lowell II. Rousseau received
the surrender Of the territory. ALASKA

united States eighteen years.

Educating Servants.

New York Mail and Express
One of the most sensible and truly practical
charities is the Kitchen Garden, where young
girls Of the poorer classes are taught the proper
methods of service in refined households. Sew
eral benevolent young ladies connected with
Sunday schools in our fashionable churches have
set apart certain hours of the week to give this
eminently useful instruction to the mission
scholars in their charge. The children are
taught how to wait on table, place
and clear away the dishes neatly and
with dispatch, answer a call at the
door, the proper way to usher in visitor
or repel beggar or tramp. Also plain
and staple articles of cooking are included in
the list of useful knowledge, one most beneficial
feature of this teaching being that the young
ladies themselves must become proficient in
these branches, though to them it may prove to
be an accomplishment only. Should schools of
this kind become more numerous and on large
scale, with endowed scholarships. if possible,
the perplexing servant problem might in this
way be solved and intelligent service become a
matter OF pride and an excelling in proficiency.
Nursing has become a profession, and the neces-
sity for good servants being more extensive why
not more encouragement be given to the kitchen
gardens with most gratifying results to both
classes employedl

DIR. John Hall.
Rev. l.. d. Deyan. in The Culver.

Rev. Il. II. Devan. in The Culver.
DR.. Hall is tall and stalwart man. capable
of great exertion and untiring labor. He is emf
nently scriptural and practical in his sermons.
He makes no effort at display and fine speaking;
but, while his sermons are carefully prepared
and we'll constructed, the prevailing character is
their personal and pointed application. He is a
man who understands life and human nature.
An admirable executant, he is at the same time
genial and urbane. No word characterizes his
ministry better than useful. He has caught the
ear of the American people, and is sought for
largely on public occasions of ecclesiastical i'm
portance. as we'll as for the value OF his oounsels
and service in private affairs. Dr. Hall has
many of the qualities of the courtly ecclesiastics
of the English church of last century, with the
added fervor and evangelicalsm of later time.
His wise and practical righteousness is not alto
getler unlike the fine piety of the better spirit
of the Gallican church of the days of Feneon.
He is Presbyterian possessing unbounied con-
tidence in the scriptural authority Of the polity
which he processes and its religious effectiveness
But his spirit is catholic, and he is often found in
the pulpits of other churches, and upon the COM
mon platforms of large-hearted philanthropy
and missionary endeavor.

What Is Religion?

Rev. j. j. Brayton, in recent sermon, in
which he urged the need of repentance every
day, regeneration every day, forgiveness every
day, and sometimes several times a day." con-
eluded as follows: religion is not bride
against the devil, nor the low purchase price of
future heaven nor bargain by which to
trieve the wasted fortune of life, to be hastily
signed and sealed with the last dying breath.
There is no religion that is of any worth or
avail for soul save that which is attended by
constant fidelity yielding it's fruit in the growth
and culture of the Christly character. This is
the business not of a moment, but Of whole re-
ligious life. Religion, like intellectual culture
and character, is the strong growth and rich at
tainment of all of life's devoted years. 1t is in
no sense a purchase, nor gift, but an attain
ment, and its intrinsic glory is its wellearned
crown, not an effervescent passion of an excited
hour, but the rooted oak of principle. 1t knows
no backsiding, but is braced to stand the shock
OF passions rudest storm. Gods grace is not
cyclone that comes to human souls in whirls,
and drifts, and periodic storms 1t is the eternal
light which, like the sun and stars, shines ever
constant for our souls and lights up all our way
of life. So should we Slight no passing moment
nor neglect the ever-present means Of grace.
Even Jesus himself, our perfect pattern, began

increased In wisdom, grew strong in spirit, and
increased In favor both with God and men. So
