Teller for the founding of denOminational

Missionaries throughout the world are
finding that one of the most effective ways
of reaching the people for whom they labor
is to seek the conversion of the children.

The awful catastrophe was due to direct
and fragrant violations of Gods eternal
laws. Man foolishly built wall of masonry
to check the mountain torrent and trusted
to his skill to withstand the force of gravity.
The wrecks and the cOrpses along the val

upon the folly that presumed to set metes

NEW USE FOR THE TELEPHONE.
Wires have been placed in one Of the
Congregational churches in Tunbridge
Wells, England, and recently sixteen sub
scribers were connected with the church
These included doctors and apothecaries,
clerks working in various parts of town,
an invalid lady and some lazy club men who
went into the thing presumably more from
a spirit of experiment than devotion.
Wires are being laid to Maidstone; and
subscribers living there, in Rochester, in
Stroud, and Chatham, will be able without
leaving their houses, to attend services in
Tunbridge Wells, through the use of the
telephone.-Chrjstidn Register.
MUST NOT CURTAIL SUNDAY MAIL SERVICE.
Postmaster General Wanamaker has
sent to the largest pOstoffices in the cOun-
try a series of questions which seem to in
dictate a desire to abolish movements of
mails on Sundays. Not only do the Ques-
tons asked fOreshadOw such an intention,
but they appear to be cunningly prepared
so as to produce responses that viii show
that work on the mails on Sunday is IN
necessary and unCalled for Two of the
five questions deal with the amount of
stamps, etc, sold on Sunday, and the num-
her Of callers at the Office on that day
questions that have no more to do with the
value TO business men of the rapid trans
mission of mails than they have with the
arrival or departure of steamers. The
people, as a rule, do not purchase stamps
on that day, and those who do need them
know where they can be found. 1t would
be anything but an Improvement in mail
service to in any way curtail the facilities
for handling the mails, although certain
portions of the routine work are very
properly dispensed with on Sunday.-BoS-
tan Post.
AN AMERICAN POPE.
At opinion prevails at Rome that Cardinal
Gibbons may be the next Pope. a prom
inent Roman prelate finds his reasons for
thinking so in the mutual distrust of France
and Germany and in the age and non
availability of the Italian cardinals. Ger
many would oppose the nomination of
Frenchman; France that of German, and
the conclave will regard it bad policy to
unnecessarily offend either nation. The
English cardinals are out Of the question.
Cardinal Howard is laid aside by mental
infirmity. and Cardinals Newman and
Manning are too old OF the Italian car
dinals, but six names suggest papal honOrs,
and they are the names Of old men. Of

In these circumstances what could be more |

stauncher, more loyal, or more intelligent |
following than she has here. Here, too. |

for a great career. And if Cardinal Glib |

sect or class, would derive satisfaction |
from the fact that the power of the Vatican |
would thencefOrth be exercised by a man |

REASONS FOR SUNDAY REST
The question of Sunday work has, of
course. a moral side, and it is that side
which most strongly influences many who
are striving to lessen the evil. Physiol-
ogists are universally agreed that men
need. for purely physiological reasons one
days rest out of the seven, There is
plenty of evidence upon this question, all
pointing in the same direction, and the con
clusion is inevitable that the almost uni
iversal desire of Workmen for rest on Sun
day, and their strong objection to working
every day, is the result of a
natural physiological law, which, like all
other laws of the kind, cannot be violated
without some one having to suffer the pen
atty There is good reason for believing
that many railroad accidents are directly
traceable to physical and mental exhaustion
of trainmen, caused by the strain of severe
and exacting duties, performed without
relaxation for period of time beyond that
which is allowed by nature. And in the
case of street railway employees, who are
required to work from twelve to sixteen
hours every day, Sundays included, it is
probable that society suffers, and will suf-
fer, large share of the penalty For the
in the community of a consider
able body of men to whom civilization
means almost, if not quite, nothing, upon
whom society has imposed burdens almost
ntolerable and infinitely heavier than are
imposed by nature as condition of living
