DR.. Farrar.

There are many persons in the world
to whom the mention of Calvinism has
the effect of Haunting a red flag in the
face of bull. They become so indignant
that they foam at the mouth and utter
all sorts of atrocities. One of these is
Archdeacon Farrar. In sermon lately
delivered by him, he treated of the per-
verse use sometimes made of the Bible,
and said: 1.-The odious, ruthlessness of
Calvinism, which turned God into Mo-
loch, and man into human fuel for end
less flames, proclaimed itself as the only
logical inference from Scripture texts"
1t seems to US that the Archdeacon should
heed the advice given less than century
ago by an English bishop. to his clergy,
to the effect that before they undertook
to refute or revile Calvinism they should
learn what it was. The system has for
reignty, yet we do not think that there
is Calvinist in the world who would
not accept the seventeenth article of the
Church of England as Just and adequate
statement of predestination. This article
the Archdeacon has doubtless subscribed
more than once. If so, then he is liable
to his own reproach, and must admit that
ne has exchanged the CID of the Bible
for Moloch. Yet there are those who
consider this reckless and laundering
rhetorician a scholar and an authority !
@His reference to endless flames is equal
ly without meaning, for the views of Cal
vinists on the duration of future punish
ment are the same with those of the
Greek, the Roman, and nine.tenths of all
the Protestant Churches on this subject.
And if Calvinism be such diabolical
thing as DIR. Farrar represents it to be,
how does it come to pass that it yields
such excellent results? Not long since
Mr.. Lowell, surely not an incapable or
prejudieed Judge, said at public meet
ing in London that it's doctrines "pro-
duced some of the strongest and the no.
blest characters the world has ever seen,
the very fibre and substance of which en-
during commemorative are made. Nay,
the political and intellectual freedom we
enjoy springs as truly, perhaps, from the
loins of Calvin as from any where else"
Thus does an accomplished literary man,
himself a Unitarian, rebuke the bitter
and unscrupulous Misrepresentation of a
shallow ecclesiastic.-G Lateyigencer,

Perhaps the most direct results of the
century's Foreign Missions is seen in the
great increase Of converts and native
workers. At the rate of increase in
16S4-viz., one.ffth-there should be in
this year more than three millions Of
"native" Reformed Christians, led by two
thousand FIVE hundred ordained ministers
Of their own speech.
There is yet one thought more. For
eign Missions have supplied the spiritual
force, the " civillzing salt, to the expan-
sion of our own country. That the in
crease OF our race has been for good, and
not for evil, is due to this Christian en-
terprise. The men it has called forth are
coming to be known side by side with
those the world delights to honor. Where
are there worthier names in our roll of
honor than Carey and Duff, Williams
and Judson, Selwyn and Patterson, Liv-
ingstone and Mofat? to whom now, alasl
we must add the lamented Bishop Han
nington. But the harvest time is COM
ing, and if each member of the churches
proves equal to the calls made upon him,
the close of the second century of Foreign
Missions will show much'greater marvels
and substantial triumphs than Christians
now behold. Selected

CHERIE's ANSWERED PRAYER. a story of South
ern France By Margaret E. Winslow. Pres
bvterlan Board of Publication, Philadelphia.
l6mo. Price 81.
This delightful narrative takes the reader in
to the very midst of the descendants of the
brave old Protestants known to history as
Waldenses or Vaudois. The story is suggested
by letters to the author from an Evangelical
pastor in the South of France, and the incidents
and reform movements are all real, though
wrought into the form OF tale, in order that
the lessons may be made more attractive to
young people and so may more deeply impress
them.

In Memory of Gordon.

The tourist peering about among the
splendors of old st. Paul's in London, is
greatly impressed by the magnificent
monuments and relics of England's naval
and military heroes. 1t is strange if he
is not struck with the incongruity of
these tributes to the genius of war in a
temple erected to the Prince of Peace.
Yet it is natural perhaps that a nation
whose supremacy seems to depend upon
an imposing military display, should in
culcate even In its religious monuments
that spirit of patriotism which is so es-
sential to the development Of its material
policy. A military monument has lust
been projected, however, upon which the
traveller may gaze with higher sort of
satlstaction-a monument which is to
celebrate the virtues of hero by per-
petuating a philanthropic work in which
his heart was warmly enlisted. 1t is
well known that the late Gen. Gordon,
the hero OF China and the Soudan, took
an intense interest in the welfare of boys,
especially the abandoned and homeless.
Many of these waits were educated under
his'personal supervision, and were placed
in positions of usefulness and activity.
As an appropriate method of doing honor
to his memory, therefore, it has been de-
cided to found Gordon Memorial Home
for Boys. This scheme has been in fact
already instituted. The Home was es-
tablished on modest scale about a year
ago with some twenty lads of fourteen to
sixteen. This number has since been
swelled to sixty, gathered in from the
waste places of the metropolis. Among
the May meetings in London was that of
the Gordon Memorial Committee, which
decided with great unanimity to concen-
trate all efforts to perpetuate the honor
able fame of the hero in this philanthro-
pic work. The Prince of Wales presided
There were present representatives of all

comformst, all united in common aim
and sympathy-that Of keeping fresh in
a practical philanthropic institution, the
memory OF those Christian virtues which,
more perhaps than his splendid heroism
/ endeared General Gordon to the English
people. In addition to funds heretofore
raised for the memorial, about $50 600
were pledged at the meeting for the new
Home. The lads are to be taught and
