Strive after vivid impressions by
all means, but remember that when
sou have succeeded In gaining vivid
impressions yourself, Or In convey
ing them to your class. your work is
not all done. A soap bubble reflects
all the coIors OF the RAINBOW, when
the light is playing upon IL; but for
how long2 Vivid Impressions are
Of little worth unless they leave be
hind them permanent Impressions.
The wise teacher will not be content
with an ideal which Is reached when
the attention OF the class has been
held successfully for half an hour or
more, what he works for are the
hours that arc not spent in the Sun
day school, but into which the work
done in the Sunday school may enter
as a purifying aud life increasing
leaven. Permanent impressions are
as much TO be preferred TO vivid but
transitory impressions, as the
deep rock cut inscription is to be
preferred to the brilliant fantasies
of color that plays upon the surface

Difficulties OF Preaching ic Chi
neSe.

The centre pews in the Trinity
Baptist Church Fifty fifth street and
Lexington avenue, were filed with
Mongolans last night, who listened
to an address in their native tongue
by Rev. DR.. j. B. HartwelI, of San
Francisco, late missionary to China.
DIR. Hartwell has church in San
Francisco and many of the China
man present recognized their old
pastor. The speaker explained to
his American audience some OF the
many difficulties attending the
preaching of the GOSPEL IN Chinese.
1t was next to impossible to put
English text into that language.
Many words which precisely alike to
the English-speaking person convey
wholly different ideas to the China
man. For instance, he said, when
he thought he had first mastered the
Monaghan tongue and in sermon
he essayed to say, 'The Jews have
killed my Lord" he was understood
by his Chinese listeners to say, "The
Jews have killed my Pigs" At an
other time he was telling the story Of
Samson killing the lion, expecting il
would excite much wonder and sur
prise. On the contrary his audience
was wholly unmoyed. He then asked
it was not wonderful feat for a
mau to perform, when little girl
contemptuously replied, "Huh, any
body can kilt louise" The mean
ing of words is often conveyed by
their peculiar emphasis, which re
quircs much pgactice. New York

Mr.. Greig, Of the McAlI Mission
in Paris, stated the following fact at
a meeting of the Sunday school As
ISOLATION:
Having heard of the Petit Mont
rouge, as one OF the suburbs most
in need Of the gospel, he resolved TO
open a Sunday school, there If he
could hire suitable place at a mod
crate price. He had looked in vain
for some months. At last discour
aged, be was about to give up all
hope, when on his way homeward he
was stopped by poor little hump
back girl who said To him:
80 Mr.. Greig. have Sunday
school here, We have such a Lice
one in the Faubourg ST. Antoine, /
was so sorry to leave it, but my par
ents left Paris to come here, andI
had to come with them"
"My little girl, there is not a place
to he had in Montrouge. | have
been several months looking for one
without success"
90 but you will find one, she re-
Piled, ''for have asked God for it.
Mr.. Greig smiled and SAID, "May
it be SO, my child; continue to pray"
Returning to Paris, be thought
much on the faith of the little girl.
Two days after he was informed that
the owner of drinking shop had
failed, and that the place was offered
at low rent. He returned to Mont
rogne, found it was so, hired the
shop, aud opened Sunday school.
The prayerful little girl was one of
the first scholars. The second Sun
day she brought eight other child
rem. Having placed them in row,
she exclaimed, pointing at them and
looking at Mr.. Greig, "See, sir, !
have brought all these" That
school is now prosperous.-N. I

used.
He replied, II never drank tea

"Well,' said the passenger, but
wha. do you take when you are
sick?'
II never was sick in my life" was
the ready and glad reply.
He was wise captain. He was
accustomed to exposure in all sorts
of bad weather, wind and storm, and
never believed in the foolish notion
that he must take drop Of liquor
to keep out the cold"
Cold water was the drink of Adam

The ziew Pronoun.

In suGf sentences as these: Every pa
rent loves lis child" ard Let every boy
and girl attend to his own work." there
is natural tendency of the mind to use
the plural heir instead Of the singular
tbs because tie former may stand for
both sexes, while the latter represents
only the masculine; and may have claim
ed, with some degree OF reason, that it is
no greater violation Of the laws of gram
mar to use the plural instead of the sing
ular, than to use the masculine for both
gcnders.
This need Of a pronoun. which is in
singular number, will represent either
| gender, has been so forcibly felt that at
tempts have been made from time to
time to furnish one, but heretofore such
| attempts have not met with success. The
English speaking people, sad to say, are
always more ready to adopt some useless
| slang word which tickles the ear, than
any word which supplies felt want.
just now, Judge Converse, of Penn
Sylvania, has created a stir among the
verbalists by coming new pronoun to
supply this long felt want The word is
| thor, a contraction of thGt plus one. 1t
is used only in the singular number, its
| nominative and objective forms are alike,
and the possession is H0aS. 1t has been
much more favorably received, thus far,
than any word previously coined for the
same purpose.
When We remember that it took more
than one hundred years after its first APP
| pearance for the ncuter possessive pro-
noun It's to gain permanent residence
in the English language, the author of
NoH may feel very much encouraged by
the cordial reception the word has re-
ceivcd at the hands of Prof. March, of
Lafayette college, Prof. Montague, of
Amherst, P.os, Norton. of Harvard, and
other philologists of note.
Prof. March says, "What Mr.. Con-
verse says Of the want of such pronoun
is all good, and he forms his Mon very
simply. do not know that any other
vocable would have so good chance for
this vacancy"
Before we call this new word, awk-
ward and uncomoly, let us practice its
use, and let Us be ready, should major
ity of the acknowledged leaders of Eng
lsh composition advocate its use, to give
it place in our vocabulary.

EUSSIA'S WAR ABILITY.
The Vast Forces She Can THROW Into Herat
in IA Short Time.

ihs hast FORCES she Can THROW Into Herat
ina Short Time.
\ great deal has been SAID about the
ability of Russia to push TO war on the
Afghan front. This, from the ST. James
gazette, seems to give very fair idea of
her capabilities:
The ability of the Gar to push us has
been questioned. 1t is said that he is far
too weak in Central Asia for such an at
tempt; that in point of fact we are the
stronger of the two, and that he knows
it. We are persuaded that there is error
here which it is foolish, to indulge. No
authority whatever is or can be advanced
for the statement that Russia is unpre-
pared for an iucursion in great force.
For the contrary opinion there is the au-
thority of not one or two, but all the
most experienced and highly placed SOL
diers in India. Some time ago these men
warned the government that there was
reason to believe that a movement was
on foot in Central Asia which might car
~ the Russian army to Herat and beyond
before many months were past. Respon-
sible British officers, men who had map
ped out the routes and measured them,
came to the following conclusion, that,
even supposing Russia had to watch the
German and Austrian frontiers with
100000 troops Of all arms, she could spare
as many as 100000 men for operations in
the direction of India. Russia can, in II
days after issuing the orders, put about
IS, coo men into Herat, with a reserve of
like strength which could arrive in
from 40 to 80 days afterwards; with H.
900 more possibly available within 20
days OF Herat. She can, in from 20 to
100 days also after the order has been
given, put about IS, 600 men into Cabul,
with similar strength in reserve and
her communications all strongly held.
She can in 90 days put 1000 men into

Ayers Sarsaparilla.

Since then Mr.. LELAND has recommended
AYERS SARsArARILLA in many similar
cases, and he has never yet heard of its fail
ure to effect radical cure.
Some years ago one of Mr.. LELAND's farm
laborers bruised his leg Owing to the bad
state of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling
or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor-
rible itching of the skin. with burning and
darting pains through the lump, made life
almost intolerable. The leg became enor-
mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed,
discharging great quantities of extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was of any
avail until the man, by Mr.. LELAND's direc-
ton, was supplied with AYERS SARsArA-
RrLLA, which allayed the pain and irritation,
healed the sores, removed the swelling, and
completely restored the limb to use.
