SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

Bishop Foster of the Methodist church was the original boy preacher. He was converted at six and was licensed to preach at fourteen.
 The theological seminaries gener- ally have an increased number of students. The ranks of the ministry are to be filled up and strengthened
 The most heavily-endowed educa- tional institutions in the United States are: Girard College. &10,000, 900; Columbia, 8, 5,000. GOO; John Hopkins, $f,00o, 900; Harvard s. GOO, poo; Princeton, 8. 50o, GOO; Lehigh, $1,800,- GOO; Cornell, $l,40o,00o.
 The controversy on inspiration bewilders some people. 4 lady, who has heard assertions frequently made that certain parts of the Bible are not inspired, is anXiously inquiring for an inspired preacher, 50 that she may be secure against mistake.
 Among the various ''correspond- ence schools which have of late come to be, and we trust to stay, is the ''American School of Politics, de- voted to the study of the science of politics, political history, American institutions, and public questions of current interest.
 A Chinese Christian recently asked Archdeaeon Mou1e how many clergy men there were in England.

Roman Catholics during the same period have increased 1 from 80. 000, 000 to 153. .000, ,000, or two- fold.

PICTURES FROM LIFE.
The Narrow Path to Happiness and the
 Wide Road to Destruction.

Mary C., in 1848, was q thin, sickly girl of fourteen, the daughter of widow, living in a city, who had no money, butsa large capital of ener- gy and common sense.
 Mary" she said must earn her own living. l will give her the busi- ness in which her life can be most healthy, most protected and most womanly.'
 She took her to the country and placed hel. in the family of q kind Quaker, to assist in the dairy. Her food was good, her clothes neat, she breathed pure air; the influences about her were wholesome and eleyat- ing. She continued in the family for seven years and shared in their sor- rows and happiness as a faithful friend At the end of that time sho married one of the farm-men, emi- grated with him to Iowa and is now the mother of q happy family and the mistress of q large farm.
 Jane B., in 1886, was sickly girl of twelve in the same city. She did not wait for mother or father to plan out her future. She took the matter in her own hands. With a package of daily papers she started out every morning to make her rounds through stations and offices. At first she was blushing and dumb, but in the course of few months became brazen and pert. She soon found out that her eyes were bright and her features pretty, and appeared with her hair curled and her figure bedizened with tawdly finery. Her food was poor; she slept in foul garret; her asso- ciates were of the lowest class. Last May, Jane B. was arrested and tried for drunkenness and shameless misconduct, found guilty, and, In con- sideration of her youth, sent to the house of correction.

 This true statement of facts may fall under the notice ofyoung girls who are about to choose a public, exposed trade in preference to those which af- ford them the shelter of home. They hear their foolish companions de- nounce household work as "ungen- teel' and "menial. They should re- member that there can be nothing dis graceful in the work which a daughter performs in her fathers house and a wife in her husbands; and that no fantastic idea of easte-distinction can recompense a girl compelled to lead a public life for the loss of the bloom of modesty and the vulgar and vicious temptations which assault her on every side-Io'db'S C0nDdnloa.
