nous total of Sl0,9I5, 22l. The synod OF

Thirty three missionaries have been sent
out by the American Baptist Missionary
union this fall, of whom twenty three are
newly appointed Baptist mission work
il Cuba continues to prosper remarkably.
There are baptsmS every week. and the
work is favored by many of the officials
and educated people.-Boston Journal.
The truths of the Bible do not reveal
their value so long as they are considered
as the parts of a philosophical system or
viewed in the light of metaphysics. 1t is
of the nature of all spiritual truth that it
must be individually appropriated before
Its quality can be determined And this
indicates the dividing line between a formal
and living religion.-CentrGl Christian Ad-
uocGte.
The Sunday School union of London is
taking more vigorous steps than ever 10 in
Itroduce Christian Endeavor societies
among the churches of Great Britain, and
the prospect of the British section of the
society was never so good From Turkey,
South Africa, China and Japan, too, re-
ports are constantly received of the help
which the missionaries obtain from the
societies.
'Forgiving one another, even as God, for
Christ's sake, has forgiven you" is the
rule which Paul prcscribes for the obscr.
vance of Christians. (Eph. iv, 32). The
forgiving temper of mind is an indispensa-
BILE element in Christian character. Chris
tians are in this respect to he like the God
who has forgiven them. An unforgiving
and implacable heart is and must be a
stranger to true godliness.-Indcpcnden
A man may neither pillow nor sow in
spring, and yet. depending upon prayer
nothing absolutely impossible in crop of
wheat growing without sowing of seed.
God could cause a crop to grow SO If he
chose. But in the ordinary routine of life
would anyone be justified in continuing in
slant in prayer and constant in idleness
The Christians faith will surely show it
self as much in the use of means as in the
urgency of petition.-Toronto Globe.
More than one-half of the church prop
1 rOf Iol
belongs, it is said, to the Roman Catho-
lies. Their parochial schools are attended
by 43, 600 children-more than one-half the
school population of the city. Their church
income is about one million dollars. Next
to the Catholics are the MethodiSts, with
church property amounting TO 81 $50, 600.
Congregational churches come next with a
property amounting to 81 coo. One
Congregational church supports more mis-
sions than any other single church in the
city.-ChYistidn Union.
HEBREW AND CHRISTIAN.
If one were asked to explain in G sentence
the doctrinal difference between the Chris
tian and Hebrew, it might aptly thus be
stated: The one believes that Messiah has
come, and the other that ne is yet to come,
whether embodied in an age or person.
There are doubtless other points of diver
gency inherited and acquired, but that is
a fundamental difference. Christian and
Hebrew morality is the same. The Chris
tian and the Hebrew pray to the same
Deity. The Christian and the Hebrew
turn to the same old book for consolation.
With SO many points of agreement, it is in
credible that there should be so much pre-
Ijudice and so much misconception. 1t is
often said that the Jew has invited preiu-
dice by his stubborn adherence to his creed
and practice. That he was justified in re-
tanning his religion in its purity and
breadth is amply shown by the tendency
since the reformation to throw of accre-
lions and superstitions and return to a
simple and truer Interpretation Of the vital
principles of Christlanity-a tendency
which is abundantly indicated by the
growth of liberalism in the churches. The
thinking church Of to-day is not iron clad
il adapts itself to the age. 1t cares more
for work than worship. It is dissatisfied
with divisions, with bigotries, and sec
tarianism, and distinguished Christian
ministers and professors plead for broader
meaning to Christian terms and symbols
Union for humanity's sake, not separation
into church cliques, is said to reveal the
Christian spirit. Judaism, too, is under
going process Of development; it has no
gross superstitions and bigotries to reform
away, merely outward vestments that have
always changed with time and circum-
stances. The inherent moral beauty of the
Jewish creed-one God and one humanity
needs no reforming. 1t is the prophetic
! message to all mankind, which the Jew
