the Protestant Episcopal Bishop of

The Christian Aduocate says
'There are signs of the total breakup
of the Salvation Army in this country.
Something has taken away the measure
of sympathy which was freely given at
first. The opinion expressed when their
work first opened in this country-that
the churches could and soon would do
all the work the Army proposed to do,
is still held. No organization outside
the Church is called for when the
Church is alive. The one lesson of
value which the Army teaches is that
the Church may safely go outside the
churches to do its work. Methodism
has known that for long time. But
latterly we have been too much afraid
of eccentric methods"

A Pretty Anecdote.

The prettiest of literary anecdotes has
been related by William Grimm, one Of
the pair of famous story-tellers. One
day little girl rang their bell and met
him in the hall with the words: care
you the Mr.. Grimm that writes the
pretty tales?' Eyes, 1 and my brother"
''And that of the clever little tailor who
married the princess?" "Yes, GER
tainly." "Well," said the child, pro-
ducing the book, sit is said here that
every one who doesn't believe it must
pay him a thaler. Now, don't believe
that a Princess ever married tailor. l
haven't so much as thaler, but here is
a groschen and please say l hope to pay
the rest by degrees" " Just then Jacob
came up, and the brothers had an inter-
esting interview with the little dame;
but they could not persuade her to take
away the groschen which she had laid
on the table.-Ihe Household,

Above the book pedantc.
The moon came out and like ghost
With pale lips told of chances lost.
She went back TO the prosy town,

Upon the sad air linger.
ALAS, she cried what bitterness
Is wrought by too aesthetic dresS!"

about the premises, until the unsuspect-,
