THE ENGLISH PRESS has much to say
about the publication of the Sunday
edition of the NeW York Herald in
London. Says the London Christian:
The Pail Aat Gazette has obtained the
opinions Of many leading public men on the
New York innovation. The Bishop Of Ripon,
Archdeacon Farrar Rev. H. Price Hughes,
DR.. Henry Allen, Dr. Joseph Parker DR.. Dale,
Cardinal Manning, the Duke Of Argyll, Rev ].
Guinness Rogers Rev. Newman Hall, Rev.
Archibald G.. Brown, and others, write TO our
evening contemporary approving Of the protest
against this unwarantable intrusion on the
English Sabbath. The Archbishop Of Canter-
bury and the Bishop Of London write similarly
to The Times. Such expressions Of opinion
ought to have weight, though we are not very
sanguine that anything short Of Parliamentary
action will bring TIE Herald to sense Of il
/ duty.

REAL CHARITY.-Ihe National Bdp-
fist calls attention to the following :
"At the late annual meeting of the
Baptist Missionary Society of Great
Britain, Rev. F. B. Meyer mentioned
these instances which came under his
notice: A governess earns 9100 a
year, and gives away one,half; a per
son whose income is $4,000 lives on
9200, and gives away 81, 800; another
who earns 1900 lives on 9100, and
gives away 91,4O0; another whose in
come is $4,000 lives on 925O, and gives
away 97,75O. The latter gives back
to God $31 out of every S32 received.
AS we read these things we begin to
get some idea of what is munifcence
That was the judgment of Christ.
Verify say unto you, That this poor
widow hath cast more in, than althey
which have cast into the treasury
For all they did cast in of their
abundance, but she of her want did
cast in all that she had, even all her
living"

prominent survivor of the disruption

THE FOLLOWING encouraging item
about the state of religious feeling in
France is of more than ordinary in
terest. We take it from the PreSby-
tertan Journal of Philadelphia:
Prof. Bertrand. OF France, in an Address in
Calvary church, Philadelphia. said that relig-
ion in France is rapidly becoming popular with
the great masses Of the people. There has long
been prevailing idea among Frenchmen that
religion was not needful and that the republic
could get along without ministerial aid. This
idea can only be found now among some few OF
the lower classes. Religion of the evangelical
order was rapidly accomplishing the results
which its followers aud believers have worked
for. Professor Bertrand showed how the evan
gelists have increased. They now have $50
pastors, and in the Northern part of France
where evangelical religion was at one time an
unheard-ot-thing, they have So parishes, "a
churches and 81 cbapes. Roman Catholics and
Free-thinkers, the Professor said, are attending
the evangelical services by thousands and are
lending their influence in establishing churches

This is good item: In India So
600 Bengal Bibles (India) were sold
in 1885; in the following year, 1886,
there were $4,000 sold. The following
is still better: in Madras 100000 Bibles
were sold in 1885, and $4,000 in 1886.
That sounds like progress.
