ness, advocate the merits of this or that
preacher. Two things are of the first
Importance in order to hope for success.
The first is to make selection of q
preacher who is possessed of qualities
essential to popularity. Having selected
candidate the second step is to work
for his success. Let one secure all the
ballots possible and at the same time stir
up interest and activity in others. De-
lay in securing ballots are as dangerous
rs delays in other matters. It would
worry one much to learn that his or her
candidate might have been elected by
q slight extra effort. A few votes may
be the difference between the winners
and losers. Hence the importance of
early and persistent activity in securing
ballots. The plan of determining who
the most popular minister is, is given in
order that all may thoroughly under.

4 Shoplifter,a Trick.

In one of the first class dry goods houses

five cent purchase at n OF the count
en, and being in a hurry walked on to
another part Of the store, having first
told the saleswoman she would return
shortly for the change and parcel. She
did so in perhaps twenty minutes, was
told there was nothing for her; that
her friend had taken II.

It then t~ranspired that a well dressed
woman who had walked away by the

about five minutes asking for the par

yard and three-quarten of black and
white ruching, costing eighty-1ve cents,
for which my friend gave a q bill"
The girl was convinced, as she had no.

Hvered the parcel and change.
A floor walker and detective were
called up. Both recognized the trick
a a well known one, against which,"
said the floor walker, there is really
no adequate protection, so long as
ladies keep up the habit of running
about from counter to counter without
gathering up their parcels. One reason
for the issue Of transfer cards Is to
guard against just this sort Of thing.
II a shopper only expects to purchase
two or three things she may, If in haste,
have these follow her, and pay for
them finally all together. These shop.
filters often secure the parcels and
change without the ruse of posing as a
friend. for ii is difficult for a saleswo-
man at a busy hour to identify readily

The Date OF the Creation Of Adam.

But Of all who gave themselves up
70 these chronological studies the man
who exerted the most powerful influ-
ence upon the dominant nations OF
C~hristendom was Archbishop Usher.
In 1850 he published his ANNALS of the
Ancient and New Testaments," and 1t
at once became the greatest authority
for all English speaking peoples. Usher
was n man of deep and wide theologi.
cal learning, powerful in controversy;
and his careful conclusion, after years
of the most profound study Of the He.
brew Scriptures, vas that man was ere.
ated 4,00i years before the Christian
era. His verdict was widely received
as final; his dates were inserted In the
margins of the authorized version Of
the English Bible and were soon prac-
ideally regarded a equally inspired
with the sacred text itself. To ques.
ton them seriously was to risk prefer
ment In the church and reputation In
the world at large.
The same adhesion to the Hebrew
Scriptures which had Influenced Usher,
brought leadingmen Of the older church
to the same view; men who would have
burned each other at the stake for their
differences on other points, agreed to
this: Melanchthon and Tostatus, Light
foot and Jansen, Salmeron and S~caliger,
Petavius and Kepler, inquisitors and
reformers, Jesuits and ~Jansenists, priests
and rabbis, stood together in the
belief that the creation Of man was
proved by Scripture TO have taken
place between 5000 and 1904 years be-
