RELIGION IN THE "BACK TOWNS,
OF VERMONT.

In an address in St. Johnsbury on
May II, Rev. c. H. Merrill, score
tarv of the Vermont Domestic Mis-
sionarv society, said that "ofthe 1 90
| Congregational churches, 40 are
without pastor. Thirty-fve minis
tiers supply two pulpits each. One
half the population never hear a re-
ligious discourse from one years end
to another. and these are not the
foreigners, for the priest looks after
them very carefully, but native-born
Yankees
Commenting on this the New
York Evening Post said in its closing
paragraph: when this journal
first called attention to the decay of
religion in the "back towns" the fit
test treatment of the subject was
thought in some quarters to be by
blank denial of the statements which
we made after careful investigation.
That stage of the discussion is past,
but the stage at which a remedy
shall be produced seems still to be re-
mote"
To this the Burlington Free Press
replies as follows:
We do not recall at this moment
any newspapers in this state that
have had the hardihood to deny the
decay of religion in the back
towns" in Vermont. Certainly the
Free Press and many other papers,
notably the Vermont Chronicle, the
organ of the Congregational enomi-
nation in the state, have for a long
time been giving publicity to the ex-
isting state of things. So far as the
remedy is concerned, however, we do
not think it as remote as the Evening
Post intimates. The facts above
noted have been brought directly to
the attention of the people of Yer
mont by the State Domestic Mission
airy association, through its present |
very efficient and devoted secretary,
Mr.. Merrill of st. .Johnsbury. The
object of this society is to replace the |
churches where churches have died |
out, to strengthen the churches that |
are weak, and to strengthen the |
cause of religion in the back towns
generally. This work is being done
with much greater degree of success
than many suppose, and we take
great pleasure in informing the New
York Evening Post, which takes a
lively interest in Vermont affairs,
that the cause of religion is looking
up i'll the back towns.

THE CATHOLICS IN SAHARA.

Cardinal Lavigerie has built at
Biskra, on the northern edge of the
Sahara, building over whose door
is inscribed "Bit Allah" (the house of
God.) 1t will be the home of the new
Catholic order, the Brothers of the
Sahara. The members of the order
will learn the languages of the west
ern Sahara, attend the sick, give
hospitality to escaped slaves and en-
able them to establish themselves
where they may be free. The cardi
nalintends to plant similar establish
ments in other GASES of the middle
and western Sahara, and thus extend
Catholic Influences over the desert.

THE DUTY OF DEBTORS.

A debt may be paid, or it may be
pardoned. fit is paid, the debtor
owes no thanks to his creditor. If it
is pardoned. gratitude for the grace
is a duty A man under a burden of
debt ought to know whether he can
pay what he owes, or whether his
only hope is of being forgiven. If he
has anything to pay with, he ought
to proffer it. If he has nothing to
offer, he ought to say so, and implore
forgiveness as an unmerited favor.
These two ways of wiping out
debt ought never to be COMPOUNDED.
In the one case, a man looks for a
receipt; in the other for a pardon.
1t is the same in the moral world as
in the material. A man either can
meet and discharge his moral obliga-
tons, or he cannot. 1t is the one
thing or the other. Apologies or ex-
cuses are not a payment. Yet how
common it is for one who has moth
ing wherewith to pay, to thrust for
ward an excuse or an apology in
place of request for forgiveness.
This is always evasive and unmanly.
Instead of saying, Il forgot" or Il
didn't mean to-" or ut was a mis-
take" or ct was an accident" we
ought to come out frankly and I'M
equivocally with the admission, 81
was wrong. Forgive me-" or, 81
failed to do as agreed to. Forgive
me-" or, Il did not do as | was di-
rected to. Forgive me-" Don't let
us shirk our duty of asking forgive
ness when we have nothing to pay
with Sunday School Times.

TEMPERANCE FABLE.

The rats once assembled in n large
cellar to devise some method of safe
lty in getting the bait from the steel
trap which lay near, having seen
numbers of their friends and relatives
snatched from them by the merciless
Jaws After many long speeches, and
proposals of many elaborate but
fruitless plans, happy wit, stand
ing erect, said:
Its my opinion that if with one
paw we can keep down the spring,
we can safely take the food from the.
trap with the other
All the rats loudly squealed assent.
Then they were startled by a faint
voice, and a poor rat with only three
legs, limping into the ring, stood up
to speak:
My friends, | have tried the meth
cd you propose, and you see the re-
suit Now, let me suggest a plan to
escape the trap: Let it alone.

MNEMONICS.

DR. G. Wharton James gave his lecture
on ''MnemoniCS" last night at the First
Presbyterian church. The speaker has
clear and succinct way Of making his va
rious points and illustrates them by droll
anecdotes well calculated to impress his
thoughts upon the minds of his hearers,
and makes the lecture entertaining with
all.
He first showed how the muscles and
limbs could be practiced to obey the die
tates of the mind with precision and sim
ultaneously with the thought. The next
point was that the mind was susceptible
to training as well as the body. At this
point the golden rule of memory was
stated as follows:
observe, Reflect, link thought with
thought, and think of the impressions. :"
The speaker then enlarged upon this
rule, showing its usefulness and dwelling
at length upon the first word. By obSer-
walton one gets the data which is desirable
to remember and may reflect upon it at will.
By reflection one is enabled to make COM
parsons and by revolving the thought in
ones mind a correct understanding Of its
Importance and of the thought itself is
obtained. By linking one thought with
another a continuous chain is formed
which enables the mind to return and re-
call at will any particular link in the
chain. This manner of linking thoughts
is comparatively easy and comes with very
little practice. By thinking of the results
or impressions upon the mind they re-
main and become serviceable, to be used as
they are needed in daily life as an aid to
arrive at necessary conclusions. The
speaker had only time to refer briefly to
the various methods Of linking thoughts
and to treat them in the simplest manner
possible. The 1st method is termed the
incidental, End, accidental Bird, classified
and 4th constructive
BY the incidental method one links the
events of the day or year together in
the order in which they occurred.
plemented by the accidental and
the events are again linked to the IN
expected or events out Of the usual run.
The unexpected events naturally make
deeper impression on the mind as a rule
and instead of crowding minor events out
of the memory may by practice be made
serviceable in retaining them by the
method of linking.
The classified method is simply storing
things away in the mind according to
some natural selection. Thus events may
be more easily retained in mind after be-
ing classified according to a recognized
principle or fancy of the person. The con-
struCtive method is the most complicated
and was only dealt with in its simplest
phase. By this method the person con-
structs a kind of frame work in his mind
to which events may be linked. 1t is
particularly useful in remembering long
list of names. For instance one may take
the initials of the presidents of the United
States and by memoriZing a number of
words commencing with the same initials,
in the same order and having some con
nection the whole may be easily remem-
bered.
