MIR. HUME,S CASE.


His Proposed Return to Indta-Reply
of the United Church to the
A. b. g. r. M.
The following letter has been sent by the
United church to the A. B. G. F. M:
NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Nov. 10, 1885,
To the Prudential Committee of the
A. B. G. F. NJ:
Dear brethren-We beg to acknowledge
the receipt of your letter to the United
church in answer to the one sent by it urging
the speedy return of Rev. Robert A. Hume
a member of the church in good and regular
standing-to his field in India.
Your letter has been read to the church
and we are delegated to acknowledge its re-
ceipt and to return the following answer:
While we do not view all the points in
your letter in the same light in which they
are regarded by the committee, and while as
yet we see no reason for changing our view
of the real significance of your action in de-
ferring Mr.. Hume's return, as interpreted to
him by the late chairman of the committee,
we have no desire to justify our action by
entering into the details of the history of the
case, believing that such discussion would be
proftless and foreign to the main object,
namely. the return of Mr.. Hume to India.
In this connection we only desire to state
that Mr.. Hume is in no way responsible for
the action of the church and was not aware
that it had been proposed until it was taken.
We venture again to express our hope and
request that, in view of the action at Des
Moines in Mr.. Hume's case the prudential
committee will see its way clear to permit
his speedy return to India. But if any OBJ
| jections or protests against him of theolog-
| ical nature are in the hands of the commit
tee which lead them to shrink from the re-
sponsibility of coming to an early and favor
| able decision, we should be glad to aid the
| committee in bringing the whole matter to a
| decision in the way named by the resolution
of Mr.. Blatchford and since urged by DIR.
Hopkins, president of the board, in the
Christian Union, November 4, namely. by
calling properly constituted council to adj
wise upon the points over which there is hes
itation.
As you informed us that you have sent
your letter to us to the corporate members of
| the board, we take the liberty of sending to
them copy of this letter. With Christian
salutations, T. T. MUNGER, Pastor.
SAMUEL G.. THORN,
R. j. MINER,
HENRY w. THOMSON,
s. 81. BARNUM.
All of the deacons present at the meet
ing.
At meeting OF the United church held
Tuesday evening, November 9, 1886, a letter
was read from the prudential committee of
| the A. B. G. F. NJ. to the church.
The foregoing letter in answer was then
read to the church and it was unanimously
Voted, That this letter be signed by the
pastor and deacons present, in behalf'of the
| church, and sent to the prudential committee
and that copy be sent to each corporate
member of the board.

Free Kindergarten.

Of the kindergarten, 1913 Franklin street
Miss Brooks, the teacher, says: This institu'
ton is evidently popular in this neighbor'
hood, the parents showing in many ways
their interest in it and partial appreciation
of it. The mothers often drop in few mo-
ments and always have words of gratitude
or expressions of interest in our work. There
have been many instances where the teaching
of the little children in the kindergarten has
borne practical fruit with the mothers in theil
homes in greater cleanliness and new sweet
ness of spirit in the daily life.

a TAN Tower in France.

The very small success which attended
that gigantic enterprise Of the sons of Noah
does not seem to have in the least deferred a
patriot of France from projecting the build
ing OF another big thing in towers. NJ. EiffeI,
French engineer, has submitted for ap-
proval to the minister Of commerce and in-
dustry tho plan OF an immense tower, which
he proposes to erect within the precincts ot
the Universal exhibition which Is to be held
in Paris in 1859 His proposed monument
would consist of an iron framework g75 feet
nigh, through which the wind could circu-
late freely. In shape, it would resemble a
huge lighthouse, having at the top plat
form, which in rough weather would swIu g
To and fro like masthead with oscillations OF
about yard.
Visitors would be taken to the summit In a
lift, while, on Il landing 200 feet in altitude,
they could get out and lunch at restaurant
The French engineer estimates that the un-
dertaking would cost about 81, ,OOO, 600 1t Is
also suggested by the partisans OF the scheme
that scientific experiments and astronomical
Investigations might be- conducted on top OF
the tower with novel and interesting results.
With visitors from all parts of the world,
Jabbering each in their own tongue as they
ascend and descend the great erection, If
carried out is likely to bear a strik log RI =
semolance to that OF Shsm, Ham and Japhet.
