The Churches Co.operating

HOW PEOPLE WHO DO NOT ATTEND SER
VICES ARE TO BE LABoRED WITH.
The methods by which the United
States Evangelical Alliance proposes to
conduct its projected canvass among the
non-church going classes were explained
last Sunday morning by the Rev. DR.
3osiah Strong, Secretary of the a iliance.
at the De Ksib Avenue Methodist Epis.
copal Church, Brooklyn, N. Y.
So The chief aim of the Alliance of the
Protestant Evangelical Churches in thus
coming together, he said, "is to substi.
tute Christian cooperation for unchris
tan competition, to break down the zeal.
ousy of secretarianism in securing church
members, and to act together In the sole
effort OF benehtting the great non.church-
going classes. The church has very
largely lost her hold on the artisan class
es, and the great increase of population
In both New York and Brooklyn had
been progressing with such strides that
the church has not been able to keep
pace with it. Modern church growth
meets with many obstacles, chief of
which are the great indifference on the
part of church members In regard to
really reaching the multitudes and lacx
OF actual contact In personal work.
Christ went from house to house. but in
the days of modern Christianity the min
lister stands for the church and the
church expects him to do whatever per.
sonal work is called for. Another chief
hindrance to church growth is the prev
alent lack of co operation in Christian
work, due to sectarian jealousy. Coop.
GRAFTON is the great genius of modern
lite, yet the church will not use it. That
cooperation was Christ's idea of the
church Is clearly shown in His calling it
His body. The sects must aid each
other In organization. Great organiza-
ton means great power, and great power
In the church Is the thing we need" In
speaking OF organization DIR. Strong spoke
OF Trusts, and pointed out that it was
by no reason of their great organization
that their power was to be feared.
In regard to the direct methods by
which the Alliance proposes to reach
these masses OF non. church-goiDg people,
he said that Brooklyn had been divided
into IL sections, and that the churches of
each section were being organized into
branch Alliances. For every 100 mem.
bers there was to be l supervisor and for
every supervisor 10 visitors. Each com
munity will be divided into az many dis
tricts as there are supervisors, and each
district will be assigned to the care Of
ore supervisor. Then each distrio will
be undivided into 10 fields and each
field assigned to visitor, who shall
learn the church preference Of the non.
church-goer whom he visits, and will ex.
tend to him in the name Of the Alliance
an invitation to attend the nearest church
Of that denomination, and his name will
be sent to the Pastor Of the church. Thi.
plan is now being successfully worked in
Mansfield. Ohio, and in Oswego, New
York. ~ y Tyn1cq

For the Central Presbyterian.
In His Name.

Two years ago, on the morning of Jan
uary 18Th in the city of New York, ten
consecrated women binding themselves
together by triple cord whose strands
were Faith, Hope, and Charity taking
for their watchword, "In His Name"
organized themselves into sisterhood of
service IT, be known as The Kings
Daughters
To quote their own words: "Since to
look upward is to trust, to look forward
Ia to hope, and to look outward is to feel
the woes OF others, forgetting our own,
and to lend hand is only love in action,
the members chose for their motto:
Look mp and not down,
Look forward and not back
Look out and not IN,
Lend hand"
In order that it may be clearly under
stood that theirs is spiritual order based
upon strictly evangelical principles, they
distinctly declare: Our foundation is Je-
Gus Christ our Lord, in whose atonement
alone we rely for our salvation, and by
whose power and in whose name, and to
whose glory, all our work is done"
"Noselessly as the daylight
Comes when the night is done.
And the crimson streak on oceans cheek
Grows into the great sun;
Nolselessly as the spring-time
Her crown of verdure weaves,'
has this work grown and womens hearts
everywhere been attracted to it until
even now The Kings Daughters are "hke
the stars, great multitude" Yet there
are many true and loving daughters who
would find in this bond a fresh impulse
to new spiritual life, who by reason OF
the very unobtrusiveness of the move
ment have thus far missed it's sweet priv
iege By all who would value this
sympathy in the Masters work, and who
wish to know more of it's plans and hopes
and helpfulness, its leaflets and circulars

For the way Is growing dreary,
The feet are often weary,

NEW YoRK's COMPROMISE.
Its yice-PresidentiaI Vote VIII He Cast
nj the VIII Of the Convention.

ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, June 5.-Onc OF the
main subjects Of discussion this morning
before the convention met was the action
Of the New York delegation caucus last
night. The meeting was held at the dele
cations headquarters. The delegation
was overwhelmingly Thurman, but the
Indiana people had shown themselves so
thoroughly earnest in their opposition 10
the old Roman, or rather In their advocacy
Of Gray, that itlplaccd New York in
delicate position. II the weight Of It's in
hucnce was thrown against Gray, his
chances would be slim indeed, and
in this way New York would
not only secure the presidency, but
decide who should have second place. Not
caring to antagonize Gny's friends, the
delegation finally concluded, after exhaus-
tive debate, 10 leave the choice Of Vice
President 10 the other States, and the fol-
lowing resolution introduced by T.. G.
Herrick was, after numerous amendments
and substitutes had been offered, discussed
and withdrawn, unanimously passed.
Resolved, That when New York IL
reached upon roll call for the vicc-prcsi-
dency the chairman ask that New York be
passed; that II permission is refused the
delegation then request leave to retire for
consultation.
In this way New York was to avoid
voting until every other State in the Union
should have announced its preference. In
the debate upon the motion Il was denied
that the delegation was controlled by the
unit rule instructions OF the State conven.
ton, but that the rule meant such action
as the majority might choose TO order.
That is TO say, the delegation might divide
Its vote between four candidates, ~ was
contemplated in an amendment offered by
MIR. Raincs OF Rochester, and yet preserve
the spirit Of the instructions. This novel
proposition seemed 10 receive the assent
OF the deleRAion.

A CITY BURNT UP.
HULL. IN CANADA, AGAIN SWEPT
BY FLAMES.
Four Hundred Houses Destroyed. Twen-
ty-Five Hundred People Homeless.
and Half a Million in Property Con-
sumed.

OTTAWA, June 5.--This afternoon fire
swept over wards Nos. and OF the city
of Hull, opposite Ottawa, destroying
between 800 and 400 houses and rendering
over $500 persons homeless. Six or seven
blocks are now smouldering mass OF
ruins. The fire broke out at about 3:i5
o'clock in the city hall, situated in the
most populous portion Of the city and the
raging wind served to spread the flames
with remarkable rapidity. The fire
brigade was ON the spot almost i'm
mediately, but the fire appliances
were miserably insufficient and the
waite pressure was very low. The building
was soon q mass Of flames, and the wind
hurled burning embers east across the
square into long block Of wooden houses
which took fire at once. The fire then
swept everything before IL, spreading
farther east and also extending northeast
about three blocks, and literally burnt
itself out about half a mile from where il
started. The area traversed extends from
city hall square to McRaes dock, outside
the city limits. Tonight hundreds
OF families are camped in the open
air without shelter OF any kind. Prompt
measures for their relief have been taken,
and matters are likely to I've in good shape
tomorrow. The loss is hard TO estimate
1t may be $500, 900, and possibly ii will
reach 100000. The insurance will not
reach one-fifth the amount OF the loss
The principal buildings burned, apart from
fifteen or twenty stores and shops, were
the city hall, the Catholic church, stone
structure worth 100000. n three-story
stone Presbytery and convent The
origin OF the fire is unknown.
The fire in Hull today was one Of the
largest which ever visited that unfortunate
city, but scarcely equaled in extent the
big conflagration OF two years ago. The
east end Of the city is smoking ruin to-
night. The fire nearly spread Dy way OF
the north end TO the upper or most popu-
lous portion of Hull destroyed two years
ago, but owing TO assistance from Ottawa
the fire in that direction was checked.
The scene was one never to be forgot
ten. All the dwellings were miserable
shantiesor cottages, principally occupicdby
mill hands. The houses were nearly as
dry as finder and in almost every instance
the occupants barely escaped with their
lives. Women with terror rushed around
searching for their children, the binding
smoke tending to increase the confusion
and excitement. No lives are reported
lost though many sick people were rescued
from a terrible fate, though not a moment
too soon. The lightness OF the insurance
is owing TO the difficulty Of getting the
property insured on account of lis inflam-
ma6o character the paucity OF fire OK
tinguishing apparatus and the poverty Of
the mill hands.

being settled now that Mr.. Cleveland will
not withhold his name, the insidious plan
is to commit the convention to the adoption
OF platform upon which he will refuse to
stand. In case OF such refusal, these
schemers would name their presidential
nominee because their forces would then
be the only ones organized for prompt
action. We repeat our warning What
ever is done in this matter OF the platform

consequences; and We assert again what
we asserted yesterday, that Mr.. Cleveland
