Racine College, school of the Epis-
copal Church at Racine, Wisconsin, has
been visited with destructive ire. The
building burned contained the labora-
tory and gymnasium. The loss on the
building and apparatus Is some $50, O0O,
less than one-fourth of which is covered
by insurance. There are some sons Of
Racine in Utah, who will be grleved

ian Patriarch. The President of the

vases of Sevres with cordial letter of
congratulation. Ills Holiness has re-
ceived $l00 000 from the monks of the
Chartruese, diamond rose valued at
SIPS 600 from Ecuador, and a huge
golden staff filled with gold dollars from
San Francisco.
THE old agnostic contention that
PRAYER is made irrational by the fixed
order of the universe has been modified
by Professor Huxley into the admls-
sion that prayer may be rational If there
is Being who can hear it, and who
cares for those who offer 1t, together
with a challenge to believers to show
that prayer has i'll any instance been
demonstrabIy efcaeious. Prayer is for
those who have become as little chill
dren, not for philosophers engaged in
estimating mechanical forces.
CHRISTIANITY AND IsLAMIsM.
OF the ultimate success of Christian
missions in Africa, there need be nc
doubt. If there is to be q struggle with
Islam for the possession of the colti
nent, the recognition of the fact viii
arouse an enthusiasm greater and more
ennobiing than that OF the crusades.
The continent Is worth all that the
struggle will cost. The negro has beer
considered the least promising member
of the human family, bu; larger &C
uuaintance with him in his native lands
SHOWS him to have a receptiveness
simplicity, and affection, together with
race vitality. that may give him ar
important place in the future struggle
