life; but if you send for physician, and
he comes, then you are in peril of death.

AT the celebration of the quarter
centennial of the Salvation Army in Lon
don, England, recently, General Booth
said: The Army is at work in 35 different
countries, and has nearly 8, 900 corps and
over 5000 officers, and its strength is
growing daily. There are also s5 slum
officers, 1873 officers engaged in rescue
work, 35 rescue homes, 65 food officers
and 10 food depots. Two thousand
women passed through the homes in
England during last year; an average of
5000 meals are served daily to the poor
54O people are sheltered each night.
The general contended that this was work
which must appeal to all alike, opponents
as well as friends of the Army. The
organization itself, he said. would out
live its most violent critics, and those
who lived to the jubilee of the Army
twenty-five years hence would see it with
a crystal palace of its own. He appealed
to every Salvationist to do his duty-and
more than his duty.
THE work of artifcially propagating
cod, which was begun by the Fish Com

Last fall the fisherman reported an
abundance of small cod on Nantucket
Shoals, and during the present summer
these fish, somewhat increased in size,
have appeared in enormous numbers,
chiefly young fish, which are reported to
be very uniform in size, and with few
exceptions weighing only about five to
seven pounds each--to small to come un'

Who the Young Lady Was.

A religious newspaper printed in China
has the following At Pekin there Is a
pious lady, the wife Of foreign mer-
chant, who spends her time In doing
good. One day she went on visit to the
home Of Manohu lady of high rank.
She took copies of the Holy Scriptures.
A young lady was present who took
great interest in the conversation. She
heard the old story Of the Gospel Of
Jesus, who died for a world of sinners.
The young lady bent forward to catch
every word, and when the Christian Wis
itor had concluded, she said: ~ am glad
yon have come to tell me this Some day
Twill have place built where people can
meet to worship this God and hear this
Gospel preached" This young lady is
now the Empress Of China.

OF the World.
The Moravian church returns for the
last year in all its provinces and mis-
sions 81 1858 communicate, lis, ,480 mem
bers in general sense, and 29,001 Sun
day school scholars. The whole body is
under the direction Of the general synod,
which meets periodically at Herrnhut,
Saxony, and the Unity's Elders confer
ence, which sits in executive during the
interim between the meetings of the
general synod. One Of the most note
worthy features OF the church is the
relative importance TO the magnitude
and resources of the whole OF its mis-
sionary work. The missions furnish
more than half Of the members. Thus,
Of the numbers given above, 29,971 com
municants, s5,s08 members, and 14,974
Sunday school scholars are in the for
eign missions. More than II 900 mem
bers have been added In the missions
during the last ten years. Wherever
the Moravian missions are established
they are among the most important ones.
They seem TO have selected the hardest
fields Of labor, and in those fields they
are In the advance. They are 80 in Cen
tral Asia, among the Himalayas, close
upon the boundary of Thibct, beyond
which no foreigner can go; In Green
land, in Labrador, on the Moskito coast,
and in Surinam.
The income Of the missions from the
home churches is about 100000, and
about fl25, 900 more is raised in the mis-
sion fields, TO which enough is added
from the income from invested funds to
make the annual resources $3.50, 900. The
church in the United States, or the
American Province, Is divided into the
northern and southern divisions, which
together have GO congregations, 1918

0,0l7 Sunday school scholars. The home
missions have been carried on with great
vigor. The Church Extension society
spent $4,139 in 1889, about $500 more
than its receipts. The college and theo
logical seminary at Bethlehem, Pa. with
80 students, has an endowment fund Of
100000. The :" Malin Library" at the
same place, has the most valuable col
lection OF Moravian literature that exists
anywhere. Missions are sustained in the

Of the exaggerated statements which
have been circulated regarding the ship.
ment of rum to Africa. One Of these
statements was that there was seven
year contract for 1900 gallons day, OF
over 100000 gallons year. The fact
is that for the nine months ending April
1, 1890, there were only 1877 ,302 gallons
exported This is only about one third
of the exports In the corresponding
period two years ago It went TO the
