| The Waldensians have just celebrated in
truly fitting and memorable manner the
second centennial of the GLORIOUS return"
of 1859, when, after untold sufferings and
! Punishment from the historic valleys as
one of the results of the revocation of the
Edict of Nantes, they, with sword in hand
and led by their Wdrlike pastors, JanaVel
and Arnaud, forced their way back to their
ancestral homes.
| Religious newspapers are rapidly multi
| plying, both in number and extent Of circu-
| lation. Religious books are issuing from
the press in unexampled quantities. Re
| ligious essays never before filled so large a
space in periodicals. Boston -4drertiSer.
The Baptist missions in the Shantung
Province have, i'll the district of Using
chen Fo, China, fifty five churches, all self
supporting, ministered to by five native
pastors, maintaining themselves and not
drawing any of their support from the
society.
Rev. DR.. Lyman Abbott touches a tender
spot when he proffers the following advice:
Use your Bible. / think there are some
persons who imagine that there is a sacred
quality in family Bible lying on the cen
tel table, and who have the same sort of
regard for the book that lies there that

The Armenian Catholic church is the lat
! est conner among religious bodies to this
country. and mass was celebrated by an
American priest in Worcester, Mass. last
Sunday, for the second time in this country.
There is quite colony of Armenians in
! Worcester: and the Armenian service will
1 be celebrated regularly there by Father
| HOVsep SaragiAn. The Armenian Catholics
excepting one schismatic body, do not &C
| knowledge the papacy, and are as independ-
ent as the Greek Catholics, though not as
numerous. The priests do not rank high
enthusiastically, and the bishops assume
more of the work in other Catholic systems
delegated to priests.-Utica Herald.
There are evident signs already that the
exposition in 1892 is to be the grandest of
its kind that has ever yet been held. a
vast collection of the products of nature,
science. art and manufacture will be gath
cred there from all parts of the globe. If
the children of light in this age of en-
| Iightenment and wonderful energy, have
any of the wisdom which the children of
this world" will display at the worlds fair,
there, also, ought to be made the grandes |
demonstration of the worldwide work of
missions that has yet been attempted.
Such Il demonstration, we do not doubt,
| would make a showing of the extent and
| power of Christian missionary enterprise
which would astonish the ordinary OBJ
server.-SpiTH Of Missions.
MUSIC AND THE SUNDAY SCHOOLS.
III Sunday schools, especially in the musi-
cal relations, much reform is needed.
| Usually some laundering tyro who wants
TO practice is put at the organ: the tunes
are played without that subtle attention to
! true rhythm which a trained musician can
alone give. The young man or woman who
volunteers to play bungles along. This
| piece or that piece they cannot perform at
sight, they will learn them for next Sun
day and so few illy-played hymns are
sung over and over until the children be
come Disguised with the mOnotony and
lapse into complete Indifference during the
musical exercises. The children those
who are musical, are keenly alive to all the
faults Just as much so as grown people for
the finer musical susceptibilties are innate,
and not acquired. The power TO express
those susceptbilities may be taught, but
the musical taste itself cannot be impaired;
| hence the Importance of giving the very
best music to children. When l say best, I
do not mean the involved and the mystical,
but mean music that is throbbing with
properly proportional pulsation, clear in
harmony, graceful in melody, and exactly
suited TO the words.-Rev. DR.. j. II.

THE HUSK OF TRUTH.
Paul. with all his just discrimination and
true regard for the relative value of the
highest things, has never undervalued the
lesser aims of life, He never sneers at
science. or philosophy. or theological rea
sOning; on the other hand, he eXtols them
all. while making them tributary to affairs
of the highest moment If Paul were alive
now we do not believe that he would be
troubled by bathy bius, or kept awake
nights by his fears of what protoplasm
would lead to- If he were alive now. we
believe he would say to the evolutiOnist;

if you can, that my ancestor was an ape,
