tablished Irish church for 1888 amounted
TO &l4S, 900, an increase of eli, 400 over the
previous year.
The yearly increase of ordained men in
the Anglican church seems to be in excess
of requirements. The clerical deaths last
year were 400, and there were but seventy
new churches built, while there were 734
ordinations. The unbeneticed clergy in
England now number from 10000 TO II, 600.
And now the experience of traffic and
trade and commerce is reaching the re
luctant conviction that it pays for the
body's sake TO remember the Sabbath. The
railroads one by one are coming to it. The
Vanderbilt system has led the way, although
some smaller roads have heretofore OBJ
served it. Other large roads viii follow in
the line of freight. Public opinion is crys-
tallizing around the wisdom of the fourth
commandment. This at least was not one
OF the mistakes Of Mose5-.Hid- Continent.
The annual report of the American Sea
mems Friend society, Just issued, contains
many interesting facts about the work of
this ancient and excellent association among
the sailors. About thirty-ive thousand dol
lars has been spent in the past yearin mis-
Sionary work, publication oau libraries and
other aids. Altogether g,%2I new libraries
have been given out to vessels over ten
thousand have been reshipped, making in
which have been put within reach of about
three hundred aud fifty thousand men,
Church Of To-Day
IN 1898 the First Presbyterian church,
Washington city, removed to the present
site on -Four and-a-half street. In 1859 the
church was remodeled to its present form
In this church four Presidents and large
number of the most distinguished men Of
the country, in the earlier councils of the
republic, have regularly worshiped. The
church has only had seven pastors. The
last and the present one, Rev. Byron Sun
derland, D, D., is now in the thirty seventh
year Of his pastorate.
1t is not an uncommon occurrence for an
East Indiaman from Liverpool, just from
the Red sea and the shadows OF Sinai, TO
touch at Madras and Calcutta, then lie up
at Rangoon, at each wharf landing & mis-
sionary from her cabin and a crate Of craven
images from her hold. The English nation
continues 10 derive an income of some forty
million dollars from the excuses and mis-
cries Of the richer part of the Chinese PEG
pie, while the poorer classes of Chinese are
creating a demand for a cheaper home

Scriptures, larger number than ever be |
