day evening called to its long vacant
pastorate, Rev. John X. Wheeler. of Ter
re Haute. Indiana. The call is strong
and entirely unanimous. The salary is
81, 500 aud $3.50 were voted for the ex-
penses of removal The church was not
only delighted with Mr.. Wheeler as
preacher, whom they heard two weeks
ago. but were gratified with the strong
concentrations from professors Of the
Morgan Park Seminary and others. This
Hartford church has been without pas
tor nearly year and half, since the
resignation of Rev. w. W. Everts, Jr..
now of Philadelphia. If Mr.. Wheeler
accepts the call the Hartford churches
will now again be supplied with energetic
young pastors. Chicago Standard.
Mr.. Wheeler above referred to is known
to some Of our readers, having spent his
a brother Of Mrs. c. II. Davidson.
LATER.-From the Standard of Chicago
dated June 25th, We CLIP the following:
Terre Haute.-Rev. J. X. Wheeler leaves
| next week for Hartford. Conn, to assume
his new charge. The church is very 10th
to lose Mr.. Wheeler who has greatly en-
| deared himself to them and he leaves
| them united and strong. While Indiana's
loss will be greatly felt in many depart
| ments of work, we have no doubt Bro.
Wheeler will effectively labor in the state
to which he now goes.
! The theory that connects spots on
| the sun with violent storms on the earth
has derived considerable strength from
the events Of the past four years, during
which there has been maximum of sun
| spots and very remarkable series OF
meteorological disturbances upon our
planet. Perhaps no stronger evidence in
favor of this theory has been presented
than that furnished within the past few
weeks Tornadoes, cyclones, violent
storms of hail and snow, and waterspouts
have during that time wrought destruction
in almost every quarter of the habitable
globe. Coincdently with these terres-
trial outbursts the sun has been frequent
| " dotted with remarkable spots showing
intense activity, although the maximum
of the spots was probably passed two
years ago.
just now the sun presents very curious
appearance when viewed with telescope.
Strung completely across its disk are a
grea. number of black spots, and advanc-
ing upon the eastern edge is huge double
cluster of spots, where for millions upon
millions Of square miles the surface OF the
sun appears to be torn and rent asunder.
One of these clusters presents the appear
ance of cyclonic action on a gigantic
scale--a cyclone in whose mad whirl the
earth would spin like a whipped top!
All around this excessively agitated
region, the solar surface is driven INTO
flaming ridges, presenting a most wonder
full and picturesque display of those tre-
mendous fire mountains Of the sun which
are known by the singularly weak and
| inexpensive name of faculn. If during
the coming fortnight, while this great
double group is crossing the disk OF the
sun, there should be an unusal prevalence
of destructive storms in various parts of
the earth, the coincidence would add valu-
able evidence to what has already been
collected showing direct action of solar
disturbance upon the atmosphere OF the
earth.
In the mean time it is worth anybody's
while to take look through telescope
at the glowering countenance of the god
of day.-N. Y. Sun. June H.
