who worship side by side in the same
tabernacle.
You are stranger, for instance,
and wishing to 60 to a prominent
church, and, if possible, to become a
Christian, you rent seat IN the es'
tablishment; you pay your money
and you have your preaching; but
when you have been there for year
or more, and have never spoken with
a single communicant, or even with
the pastor, you have sense OF lone
illness in the house of the Lord which
has a depressing effect upon your
religious enthusiasm. You supposed
that there was some brotherly sym.
pathy between the regular members
of the congregation, but you are com
PEELED to say to yourself that the hu-
manity of the pulpit is plainly con-
tradicted by the incivility of the
pews, and you find, to your disgust,
that Christianity consists in hearing
a preacher expound mode of living
which his people openly and con-
stantly give the lie to under the very
roof where it is RECOMMENDED. One
who has experienced the hoilowness
of this sort of Christianity, and is
not a communicant himself, is not
likely to troub lie Christian church
with his presence great while.
Common courtesy in the treatment
of strangers is as much needed in
the house of God, and in promoting
the progress of church work, as it is
IN the ordinary walks of life. A real
church is not made up of company
of people who use Christianity for
social purposes which centre in their
personal satisfaction. The church
should be, and. when it is conducted
as it's Divine founder, designed that
it should be conducted. the church is,
the spiritual centre of s. common
spiritual life. The finest soul in
company Of Christian worshlppers
may be clothed in rags. That church
is doing the best work for morality
and religion which does not draw the
line at the number Of buttons on q
lady's glove, nor the texture of the
cloth in gentleman's coat. The re-
ligion that stops to consider whether
Mrs. Brown of Mrs. Jones belongs
to this, that or the other society is
not worth having. People who are
in earnest in their Christian life do
not stop to count up pedigrees, they
simply give that Christian welcome
and sympathy to all who worship
with them, which conveys the sense
of brotherhood in q common cause.

THE NIAGARA ICE BRIDGE.
A Daring Connecticut Girl the First
OF Her Sex toVenture Across.

BUFFALO, January 19.-One of the
finest and largest ice bridges that Niasa-
"a has had in many years formed in the
gorge in front of prospect Park yester-
day morning about o'clock. It extends
from in front Of the Canadian Falls to
point far down the river in front Of what
is commonly known as the pleasure
ground. 1t has all the appearance Of
being firmly locked, and looks as if it
had ''come to stay" The greater body
of ice is most firmly locked in the widest
part of the river, and those who have
seen many bridge formations say this is
favora BILE to it staying for some weeks.
In places it is tossed many feet high, and
the mountainous ridges run in all direc-
tions. One ridge far out in the centre
has pole stuck up on which waves
handkerchief placed there by that nervy
fellow, McCloy.
Standing on the cliff it is a beautiful
sight, but to be fully appreciated it must
be viewed from below, when all its
roughness and beauty can be better
seen. The first one to cross it was
Thomas Conray, who passed over from
this side to the Canadian about s o'clock
yesterday morning and returned accom-
panied by Jack LeBlond. The first lady
wno possessed sufficient nerve to un-
dertake the journey across was Miss
Mamie L. Edwards, of Bridgeport,
Conn.,, who crossed from the Canadian
shore to this side about 8 o'clock this af-
ternoon. in company with William Ed
wards, of Niagara Falls, Ont, whose
guest she is. After crossing Miss Ed
wards visited Goat Island so as to get
river view from all points ct the bridge,
of which she has the honor Of being the
first lady to cross.
It is surprising when one looks back to
see how near the same time in the year
these formations have occurred. In 1888
the first formation was on January 10,
and the second on the 22d, both on Sun
day night. The second formation re-
NAMED thirteen weeks; when it came it
carried away over 100 feet of the inclined
railway building. TIE Park Company,
who were then in possession, cleared
away the debris and cut a tunnel
through the ice 8 by Is feet and about
25 feet long, so as to reach the bridge
proper. When this great jam came Jack
Mccoy was living Oil the Canadian side.
His house was carried quite away and
tipped over. A clock that fell off the
shelf had stopped at 1925 a. m. The
reason so much damage was done was
that the water was very high and
strong ice bridge already blocked the
gorge.
The last bridge previous to the present
formation was in the winter of lSS+S5,
and remained eight or ten weeks. This
is the first bridge since the State has
been in possession OF the reservation
property. The ice mountain has attained
good size, and trip to the Falls is
sure to be one Of pleasure.

HOW TIE BOARD SHOULD BE CHOSEN.
1t is simply preposterous to expect
a board thus chosen to effect any
good if they cannot control their
subordinates. We either need no
board at all or should look solely to
the commissioner, or the board
should have power to choose their
own executive officer. But the boar \
should be chosen by the farmers
alone and not by the Legislature, for
they alone pay the privilege tax, and
we will never have any lasting, live

work is given to::them. In Ohio. for
forty years, the board of agriculture
has been elected by a farmers con-
vention," composed of delegates
from the county societies. In Illinois,
Indiana and Iowa it is the same. In
Massachusetts, Main, New Jersy and
Connecticut, &C, the societies elect q
member Of the State Board of Agri-
culture. In all of the State theseboards

their work. The best men are chosen
