A Woman 40 Years Old,

Probably in no country are examples
of longevity so numerous and so striking
ms in Russia. Almost every day the
newspapers contain well authenticated
accounts of women and men who took
part in, and have q vivid recollection of,
the most noteworthy events of the last
century. The latest of these instances is
that of woman who is only forty years
younger than the Patriarch Isaac was
when he died. This human relic of the
past, who celebrated her 140th birthday
some weeks ago. lives exclusively ON
potatoes and milk. She was at all times
a strict teetotaller. She is still lively,
brisk and cheerful, and can read without
spectacles.

Young Men and the Churches

Young Men and the Churches
One has only to walk along the
streets of any considerable town or
village on pleasant Sunday to salts
fy himself that large portion of the
young men are out of doors; he has
but to go into any church of the town
to satisfv himself that only small
proportion are inside the church. Who
is TO hlameP Without attempting to
distribute the blame impartially and
cquitably between all the parties-the
young men, their parents aud the
churches-we are inclined to Law the
larger share on the churches; to ask
the question that the young men ask
more or less consciously, What are the
churches doing for the young mon?
What either to attract. to educate or
10 develop them! 1t is a familiar fact
to all travellers that in Roman Catholic
countries the worshippers are nearly
all women.
1t is getting to be an equally paton
fact in Protestant America And it is
one of serious import 1t ought t.
make every minister ask himself what
is lacking in his preaching, and every
church ask itself what is lacking in its
administration. The minister who
thunders from his pulpit dcnunciations
of modern unbolicf, who tells his hear.
ers that evolution IS atheism, and that
ho who doubts the historic charact ter
of the story of Jonah and the whale re-
Jects the gospel. is far more apt to
make the young man who hears him
reject the gospel and accept the title
of atheist than to make him accept the
story of Jonah and the whale and reject
evolution.
We presume that this article will be
read by not few ministers who look
out on Sunday morning upon con-
gregation from which young men are
spicuously absent. but who dread
to speak their hearts fully in the pulpit
and on some modern living questions,
lest they offend bald-headed deacon
or a silver-haired mother in Israel who
does not want her wine poured out of
new bottles. That the preacher shdnld
be tender of the sllver-haired mother
and respectful to the bald. headed dea-
con S very true.
But let him not pay so much attcn-
ton to these rs TO forget the young men
whom he does not see, but wants to see
in his congregation. The preaching
that is neither imaginat emotional,
nor dogmatc, that deals with the hard
facts of life, that is common sense,
practical, manly that has for its aim
not to coerco mems minds. but TO in
form them, not to entertain their i'm
aginatlon nor to play upon their emo
tions. but to fit them for everyday
livng-that is in short. manly preach
ing-has not lost its hold upon young
men.-M iS't4L Union.

Materialism in America.

| do not ask that men OF wealth shall give
more money TO the church, which is often
stronger when it is poor than when it is rich:

the power to make money, like any other pow

manitr. The preacher who breaches for his

who practices for his fees, not to cure the
