Berlin CITY Mission.

With the valuable assistance of such
powerful friends as the Emperor and
Empress, Caprivi, Moltke, Waldersee
and Others high in rank and authority
the Berlin City Mission Society can feel
encouraged in its renewed efforts sys
tematically and successfully to evan
pelize the masses Of the German CAPT
fal. Probably nowhere is the Gospel
messenger more needed than there.
DR.. DolliDger claimed that Berlin was
the most wicked city on the globe, not
oven being outranked In this regard by
Paris. The growth of Berlin into a
world city OF million and half has
been 80 rapid that the growth Of
churches has been nothing at all
proportionally; and literally hun
dreds Of thousands must forego
Gospel privileges simply because
there are not churches and pastors
enough. From recent appeal 10 the
Parliament. signed by the most promi-
nent men Of the metropolis, II appears
that the average annual increase in the
population is 81. 900. and Of the 10000
who have settled in Berlin between 1870
aud 1890 fully eighty-five per cent. are
Protestants. In these twenty years only
Eve new Protestant churches have been
built; and from 1875 to 1890, during
which the population increased half a
million. only two churches were built.
Three Of the parishes number each lVO.-
900 souls aud over. one even 10000:
seven parishes number each $4,000 to
100. 900, and for each there is but one
church.-New York Independent.

An old Roman coin bore the design
of an OK standing between a plOw and

Christ-ready, while the Master wills.
to bow the neck TO the yoke and toll in
his service; and just ae ready when the
call comes to sacrifice everything. even

than life. How many Of us feel, in our
Utmost hearts. that we too are standing
bravely and lovingly between the pillow

IL is noble attitude, and yet Christ
expects such devotion from every true
child of his. he that taketh not his
cross and fOlloweth after me is not
worthy of me. He that findeth his life
shall lose it; and he that loseth his life
for my sake shall fiDd it. Here is the
law of sacrifice imposed upon every
child of the Cross. Here is the cOndi-
ton upon which we are 10 receive the

tian,' have you accepted the terms?
Are you ready TO give everything
even yourself. Are you standing be-
tween the pillow and the altar? But let
us not forget that sacrifice is only a
higher kind Of service, and that the
spirit with which we stoOp 10 the
yoke determines our readiness and
our fitness to bow upon the altar. The
longer and the more devoledly man
serves Christ. the more ready will he

flee. for the spirit Of service aud the
spirit of sacrifice are one. After all the
best way TO approach the altar is to 90
round and about it with the plow. The
best way to meet the sacrifice is to meet
il with the neck bowed 10 service. II
is better to turn the furrow until God
translates us from the harness, than to
stand waiting for the sacrifice that
never comes. Sacrifice is sacrifice,
sacrifice is service. Their spirit is the
same, and he who draws near to God
in service will never shrink from him
in sacrifice. lions Herald (Methodist).

Church on Wheels.

There has Just been completed at the
works of the Pullman Palace Car Com
pany a novel creation, the only church
on wheels in the world. Ii is con
structed according to the ideas OF
Bishop William ID. Walker. of the Epis-
copal diocese of North Dakota. and is
intended for use in the small villages
along the railroads in North Dakota.
The exterior of the church differs little
from the ordinary Pullman car, except
that on each side, mid way between the
two ends. is a slight projection, gothic I'D
form, W hich rises to the height of what
il known as the second deck. This,
Bishop Walker says, is for the purpose
of giving the car more the appearance
OF church. The car is sixty feet long
and ten feet wide. Its i0terior Is I'M
ished in oak. after the Gothic sty lie.
At one end is room devoted 10 the
Bishops use. The main body Of the
car contains a chancel, altar, lectern,
baptismal font, bishops chair, and q
cabinet organ. There are seats fer
about seventy people.
II first conceived the idea,' said
Bishop Walker, about six years ago.
when I began my lsbors in the diocese
of North Dakota. i made the plan
public about year ago, and 1t was SO
favorably received that it was deter
mined 10 make practical use of 1t.
There are number of little towns
along the various railroads, of from 100
10 $50 inhabitants, the residents OF
which are now practically debarred
from church privileges. 1t is for these
people that the church on wheels has
been constructed. II is not possible to
assign q missionary or rector to these
towns. They are too small to support
one. II is my purpose to notify people
In such places ten days or so In advance
that am coming, and in that way /
shall make the circuit. The car will be
attached TO freight trains and switched

FROM A welL.KNOwN PHYSICIAN

DR.. X. NJ. BAGBY, a well-lnown physi-
clan of Louisa county, Va, Bumpass post
Office, under date of Sd Feb'y, 1890, re-
ports two severe cases Of scrofula.
First Case-A lady with hereditary scro-
fula, afflicted twenty years, discharging
purulent matter during these twenty years
through three fistulous sores from the hip
joint until about six inches Of the thigh
bone had been destroyed by liberation.
In June last she commenced the use of A.
b. c. Alternative. Her health rapidly i'm
proved. One of the fistulous sores ceased
TO discharge matter and healed readily.
During the three months following another
sore ceased to discharge and healed as the
first one. The last one has abated half
its former discharge, DIR. Bagby says he
has good ground to hope for her perfect
recovery by a persistent use OF the remedy.
The limb was shortened about six inches
by destruction of bone before the remedy
was used.
Second case-A young lady OF the same
family with hereditary scrofula and en-
largement, with liberation OF parotid
glands, and many sores on various parts
OF the body, commenced using A. Il. c. Al
terative three months ago. All the sores
and engagements have disappeared. and
the doctor writes his opinion that her per
feet recovery Is only a question of time
and of the continued use OF the remedy.

House Hunting made Easy.

The house hunter must have observed
that within few years the real estate
agents of the city have shown a tendency
toward the adoption of trade marks or
distinguishing emblems on their "for
rent signs. For long time these pla-
cards were all of uniform design. One
firm adopted the plan of covering s.as
of the placard surface with red paint or
ink. Such a placard could be readily
identified block distant. The idea
caught on, and now there are stars, an
chors, shields and cross bars, white let
tiers on black ground, clubs and disks
on red, white and blue; crosses, dia-
monds, triangles-in fact every form of
simple design and outline. Another re-
form that is much appreciated by house
hunters has been introduced by enter
prising agents, and that is to have at the
Office photographs of the exterior of the
buildings for rent and floor plan of the
house, showing the location of the closets
and stairways, the size of the rooms,
etc. A lady can tell by single glance
at the plan whether the house will suit
her or not, and it saves her the labor Of
running all over the city on an errand
that is full of disappointments
