Christianity Applied to Business.
MIR. John Wanamaker, the prince of
American dry-goods dealers, has even
q more enviable reputation as a Chris
tian philanthropist than as a success
full man of business. An accoun OF
the work he has done among his en-
ployes reads like the dream of some
socialistic visionary. Years ago, be-
fore it became a fashion, the custom
was instituted of shutting his store for
half of each Saturday, and a library
was founded for the use OF all employ
ed in the establishment. Year by
year the work has grown, until there
have been established the Savings
Fund, the Building Association, class
es for instruction, and the Beneficial
Association, by means Of which q GER
tain portion of the proceeds of the
business is distributed among en-
ployes incapacitated for work by means
of age, sickness or accident. Within
two years the Woman's House was
opened. This furnishes a home for
women employed by the firm, and
everything is doneto make the house q
real home.
On Good Friday of last year Mr..
Wanamaker laid before his people a
new scheme whereby a certain G
cent of the profits of the business was
to be shared among the employees Is.
The plant Is somewhat elaborate, butthe
principal features are that all who have
been in the employ of the firm seven
years are to have a share in the annu-
al profits according to the value of
their services to the firm" In addi-
ton TO this, all the sales-people. re-
CARELESS OF their term of service, are
granted a share of the monthly re-
ceips in the form of percentage on
sales. On the 7th OF May of last year
Mr.. Wannamaker met all his en-
ployes to report the result Of the
years work. The total amount OF
money distributed and set apart for
the benefit Of those employed by the
firm lin addition to salaries) was
800, 430. IS, of which $50, 1853. SO was
in monthly dividends, $40, 281. 02
in annual dividends to seven
JIoL % duu III
a pension fund. To encourage
the habit Of saving, the Wanamaker
Savings Bank has been established.
In this bank sums OF 81 and upward
are received, and draw five per cent
yearly interest. The deposits OF per-
sons on the Seven Year Honor Roll
r considered special deposits, and
have added, beside the interest, q
special premium of five per cent, II
The whole amount remains on deposit
an entire year.
1t seems as If there could be no
doubt about the good work which Mr..
Wanamaker is doing in thus carrying
into business the rules given by the
Founder of Christianity. II there
we're more such business men they
could do much toward settling the
vexed problems Of Capital and Labor.

Returning to our Office after q tenn
porary absence, we found upon the
editorial table the following item, evi.
IDENTIFY written by some friend, while
Waiting our return, whose descriptive
powers rival. those of the author of
John Gilpin's famous ride:
FRIDAY. 1:15 p. m Seated in the
editorial sanctum, we were startled by
a sudden crash. followed by a sound of
rushing wheels. fastening to the
window, our startled eyes beheld a
horse, attached to light spring wagon,
tearing down the street at furious
rate. youth of six teen short summers
astride the seat, frantically gesliculat
ing to the surging crowd. AT this ex
citing crisis, the horse wheeled his
pedal extremities elevated high above
their usual level, disIocated the dash
board from it's original and natural
resting place. The youth was precip-
itated from the wagon, his feet vainly
trying to keep pace with his head in
the flight through space. He struck
kind mother earth in q few seconds
and escaped uniDjured.
We learned, uron investigation that
the above was the result of Arthur
Smiths desire to learn what a horse
would do if hitched to a wagon with
no "holdbacks." His experiment was
quite satisfactory-at least he doesn't
care to repeat it, though the wagon
was not quite total wreck, and only
one wheel was taken off Beckley's de-
livery wagon in the final grand crash.
Ernest Meek, who was assisting in
trying the experiment, jumped from
the wagon in the early part of the run,
and escaped injury.

Farewell Recepf.o to MRS. Lydia
B.0rd Davis

Friday evening the members of the Congre-
gatonal Churcl Woman's Missionary Society.
and Y. P. S C. L. rendered a farewell reception
at the church, to Mrs Lydia Lord Davis, on
the eve of her departure for China.
Preceding the reception proper, those in at
tendance assembled in the church auditorium,
where an anthem sung by the choir, follow
ed by a few remarks by Rev. S. w. Meek, ad
dressed TO Mr. and Mrs. Davis. expressive of
the "!fcctionate regard in which they were held
by iii church of which Mrs Davis has been so
long faithful and valued member, and its soci-
eties on whose membership rolls her name is
enrolled, extending TO them the kind wishes o.
the assembi;ge of friends. and their appreciation
of the high and sacred mission in which they
were about to engage. involving long separa-
ton from home and kindred, and assuring them
of the deep interest felt in them servants of
the Divine Master for whose sake they were
willing to make such sacrifices. Mr.. Davis re-
sponded to the generous words of love and
friendship spoken TO himself aud wife, evidenc-
ing their deepest feelings awakened by the oc-
casion, so soon to be followed by departure from
home and native land.
An adjournment was then made to the church
parlors, where the remainder of the evening was
devoted to informal greeting of Mr.. and Mrs.
Davis, mingled with congratulations and good
wishes; the verbal expressions of friendship be-
ing supplemented by substantial tokens from the
church and friends, consisting of handsome
silver set, comprising sugar bowl, spoon holder,
and creamer, with an addition of years sub
scription to the Century and the Ravenna Re-
publican, and a small sum of money left over
from the purchases
Some of the ladies of the church also formu-
ted and put into execution plan of relieving
the monotony of the long voyage to China, by
writing letters to MIR. and Mrs. Davis, the en-
velopes bearing the names of the writers. and
designation of the date on which they to be
opened. the design being to have one letter tor
each day of the voyage.
1t was an occasion of pleasure mingled with
regret at the loss of one whose close identity
with the active work of the church and its aux
iliaries, rendered her of peculiar endearment
and value to all its members.
Mr. and Mrs. Davis left early Monday morn
ing for Oberlin, thence to Chicago remaining a
day in each. From Chicago they go to Perry
Iowa, where they ..remain day with classmate
of Mr. Davis; thence to Lincoln. Nebraska
where they spend day with Mrs. Greer. widow
of Elder Greer, former Presiding Elder of this
district-their daughter, who IS now engaged in
missionary labors as teacher in Pekin. China,
having been childhood intimate and playmate
