The number of Lutheran communicates
in the United States and Canada is given
by the secretaries of the general council as

The collections for the board of educa-
ton of the Methodist Episcopal church
during the past year was sc per cent in ad-
vance of those taken in 1888.
Nineteen missionaries have been COM
missioned and sent into the field by the
American board since the late meeting in
New York. The contributions this year
bid fair IT, largely exceed those of any pre-
vious one in the history of the board.
All the money given by all the churches
in England in one year for the cause of for
eign missions scarcely would equal the cost
OF two iron clads. The people at large pay
freely and literally for the messengers
and enginery of war, while part of them
give very sparingly to the spread of the
gospel of peace.
The British and Foreign Bible society
has, during the eighty-one years of its ex-
istence, issued from it's London house alone
100000 of complete Bibles, nearly
32,OOOOOO of New Testaments, and
II, $4,000 portions of the Bibles. This
makes total of 72,5OO,000 books issued
from the London headquarters.
Every minister of the gospel ought to
feel hOnored by his calling, aud to realize
that he has the best possible opportunity
to do good to man. If Wellington had
been preacher instead of a soldier he
might have conquered Napoleon, but he
might have driven back French infidelity,
that has exerted more baleful influence
, on the world than all the victories Napoleon
ever gained.
The Observer thinks that 'sUnitarianism
will never redeem the world, because it
lacks faith in Christ on his divine side ~
And it might be said evangelicalism will
not redeem the world, because it lacks
faith in Christ on the human side. Unitar-
ians believe, however, in the incarnation in
a larger sense than their evangelical
brethren. They believe that God is incar-
nate not only in Jesus, but in all mankind,
and that God himself will develop and re-
deem the race he has created.

~ FORMAL STATEMENTS OF ETERNAL TRUTH.
Is it possible for US to make any Sc
