ARE YET A CHRISTIAN.

1t is an old story, and we have
often told it; nevertheless. it will
bear repeating. We were holding a
series of evangelIstic meetings in the
city OF Providence. The place of
service was in the Music Hall. A
large number were staying to the
after meeting for inquiry and CONVEX
sation. Passing down the middle
aisle. speaking to the people one by
one concerning their souls, we no
ticed a finely dressed, handsome
woman sitting on an end seat. few
steps in advance OF the position we
had reached on our way down the
length of the hall As we approach
ed her We noticed that she drew
herself up and put on = naughty air
as though she would rebuff us be.
fore We ven,ured to speak 10 her.
Nevertheless we approached her.
and in courteous manner and address
asked hsr the usual question:
Madam, are you a Christian"
mo, sir" was the instant re-
spense, II am an Episcopalian."
Now. the good lady did not mean
to say that which her reply implied.
She only meant 10 say that being an
Episcopalian, and unused 10 the
methods of an inquiry room, she did
not esteem herself proper subject
for our inquiry. But the suggestion
the response raised 10 our minds was
that there are many persons in the
Church OF Christ who are not pre-.
pared TO answer promptly and Joy.
ously: II am q Christian, who can.
nevertheless. snap out the fac. that
they are Methodists. Baptists. Pres
byterians, Congrega,ionalists or Epis-
copalians. Apropos OF this, we
once had a man In the church of
which we were years ago the pastor,
who. in all other things but spiritual
life, was al exceptionally god man
II there was money TO be raised he
was the first TO give; IL there was
any enterprise on hand for the ad-
vancement of the church or the de-
nomination. he was foremost in his
interest 10 help; but when spiritual
matters were under discussion he
was always silent. He came to
the Sabbath service. but never to the
prayer-meeting. We were urging
him one day TO come to prayer. meet
ing, pressing upon him his duty as q
Christian man to take q more de-
cided stand in spiritual matters.
His prompt and frank reply was:
Pastor, | agree with YOU, tina,
every Christian man ought to attend
to the spiritual interests of the
church aud OF his own life; bu. the
truth IL. while am absolutely sure
that am Baptist, | have always
been in doubt IS 10 whether | am q
Christian. indeed, don't think
am.
We are well assured that there are
msny Congregstionalists and Pres
byterians, as well as Bap.is;s and
EpiscopsliaRs, of this type.-words

M0NEY ND EENLNESN

Lower freight rates for grain last week war
ranted higher prices for wheat at New York,
and constituted a sufficient reason for lower
prices In the stock market. The only change
i'm the Liverpool market has been from Ghil-
ings III pence for red wint|~ wheat on Satur-
day, the 9th, to shillings 11l2 pence, only
about half a cent per bushel. But the rcduc-
ton in freight rates from Chicago has been
much greater on some lines 2 cents per
cwt. or IL cent per busbel. and on others
even more. Within the past week the pretence
of charging 20 cents has been entirely aban-
dOned, all lines now taking freight from
Chicago for at least cents bushel less. and
OH some lines the difference between the former
pretence and the present practice is even
greater.
Perhaps there would have been some decline
in wheat, after the publication of the report of
the Agricultural Bureau, had not the railroads
cut down their rates. The course of the market
shows, at all events that the current specua-
tive reports as 10 injury by storm and frost
have not been believed. The price of winter
wheat has advanced about Dig cents for eIeva-
tor and 81 cents for September wheat, although
the exports are still small. For the Weekend
ing September the shipments abroad from
the chief Atlantic ports amounted to only
S6,777 barrels Of Hour against 14l $50 for the
corresponding week last year, and 6l2,S4O
bushels of wheat against 2,226,75S for the
corresponding week last year. There is much
talk about the rail- Dads " continuing low rates
while the export business lasts" but the fact
is that the m0vcment.by canal alone is greater
than the exports. For the four latest weeks
reported the exports Of wheat from all the
Atlantic ports amounted TO only 29S7170
bushels, while the shipments by canal alone
from Buffalo and Oswego amounted to
3,47S,G21 bushels, and the shipments from
those points by rail were only 34S, ,1G1 bushels
for four weeks. Ocean rates have been almost
nominal, with slight changes OF late about To
cents for grain to Liverpool by steam, against
about cents on large contracts from Chicago
to New York. Thus the transportation charges
from Chicago to Liverpool are only about 12l2
cents, which indicates clearly enough the small
de nand abroad for American grain Corn last
week declined about l cent per bushel, and rye
as much, while oats remained without change.
1t is not strange that while the railroads are
doing work at less than cost the prices OF
stocks should weaken. The low rates prompt
the question whether the strike may not the
sooner be brought to an end. But it must be
supposed that the railroads which have made
such rates have done so for some intelligent
purpose, and there are no signs as yet that any
intelligent purpose is being accomplished. The
following comparison of the percentage OF
shipments from Chicago for the last seven
| weeks by the three Vanderbilt lines, the two
