net increase of nearly ST. 600 christians
for the year is no insignificant return. The
deaths among the 10. 7g0, 323 christians of
last year must have made a large figure.
This loss and all other losses have been
made good by conversions and immigra-
ton, and nearly 800 900 gained in addition.
We now have 142. 767 churches and 9S, 322
ministers, showing a net gain Of 3, $50
churches and 3, 665 ministers. A clear addi-
ton OF an average between ten and eleven
churches and as many ministers every day
IN the year does not appear to indicate de-
cline OF power Of growth. A daily harvest
or 24O souls is not svmptomatic Of that
decay which certain skeptics profess to dis
cover in christiar ity in this country. If in

IN each for the year, we could give the
grand total of the millions, yes, billions of
money invested in christian churches and
christian institutions. and the millions upon
millions more raised for the spread of chris
tianity's gospel, we might hope to convince
even the theosophists, who think that now
is the opportunity for Buddhism to take
America, that christianity has still some
hold upon the people Of this country.

in 1852, with half dozen shoes in an old
fashioned handbag. He sought his first
order from a former employer in Mont
pelier. VT. This employer was a Green
mountain merchant of the regulation type
He listened to the youthful and ardent
commercial traveller and then exclaimed:
why, boy, do you think you can sell shoes
by samplesP The youth thought he could.
After mature elaboration tns merchant
remarked: "Well, Joel, I don't believe
you would deceive me; you can send me
box Of those shoes" To any one who has
not watched the development of the boot
and shoe business and the rapid increase in
the number of commercial travellers of all
classes every year this story must prove in
terestlng. That a vocation EMPLOYING
hundreds of thousands of persons every
year. and with hundreds of millions of
dollars invested, could grow I'D during
