The Week of PRAYER.

AS far as great revivals at home
or abroad go, the past year has
been comparatively unproductive-
Neither was it marked, encourag-
ingly or discouragingly, by any very
decisive movements, either back
ward or forward in religion. Fair
progress was made in Sabbath
School and missionary work, and as
far as reports have been made do
nations for their support are on
the increase. But no amount of
contribution or increase OF scholars,
or converts, or expansion of terri
tory, should divert attention from
the fact that the church is being
more widely and more extensively
criticised than ever before. It.
sects are charged with seltisEness;
its members with worldly y minded
ness; Its ministry with devotion TO
dogma and politics, ,and it's machin-
cry with inadequacy. To SO great
an extent are these criticisms urged
that not a few talk of a new theolo-
gy and a new church, forgetting
that no other foundation can be
laid than has been laid, and that
the most careful, minute and sue
cessful study and application of the
word of truth can only lead to the
restoration of the old paths, if they
have been departed from. Criticism
of the church comes from every
quarter. Intellectualism, science
and wealth antagonize the church
because the church antagonlzes
them, and poverty complains of
being overlooked because it is Of
ten furnished with advice when
substantial assistance would be
more acceptable. What better use,
then, can be made of this week OF
prayer, upon which the church is
entering. than ID thorough investi-
| CATION of the causes and truthful
ness of such criticisms ? If the
sects are selfish they ought to be
liberalized; If church members are
worldly-minded they ought to be
spiritualized; if the ministry are
devoted to dogma and politics their
theological and spiritual vision
ought to be enlarged; and if the
machinery of the church is weak il
ought to be strengthened. If the
church itself is In decay it can be
revitalized by prayer and good
works. An outpouring of the Holy
Ghost would revive its energies,
overcome its mistakes, compensat.
tor every deficiency and refill il
with the spir;, of Christ. Let tht
universal prayer, then, be that the
coming year be signalized with
every need d reformation in the
theory and practice of religion.

COUNCILMAN B. L. LOCKE says
Mexico has never levied a poll
tax and shows by the ordinances
that what is called a poll tax is a
street tax. The ordinances require
every able-bodied man to pay two
dollars or work on the streets two
days, and also provides that the
city may levy poll tax on all
men from q to so years of age
The ordinance don't say whether
the poll tax shall be so cents or

returned at midnight last night
from a collecting tour in the coun-
ties of Boone, Monroe, Rails and
Pike. appearing before the county
courts of each of these counties and
tranasacting his official business in
two days time. He has not for
gotten how to make time on the
road and do business with dispatch.
The object of his trip was to collect
school fund, principal and inter-
est due Audrain county from the
counties named. He brought home
with him the neat sum 81, BAT Sc.
From Monroe county, 81, 1,301.77;
from Boone, 81 900 90; from Rails,
446 90. Boone county owing bal
ance of a few hundred dollars.
Mr.. Williams speaks In the highest
praise of the urbanity shown him
by the courts and county officers of
these counties, and is prouder
than ever that he is a native Mis-
sourian and living in Audrain
county. Each county did its
best to make his business trip a
pleasant and profitable one. The
money belongs to the school fund
and is now for loan in Audrain.
Mr.. Williams says he is strongly
in favor of State convention o.
county clerks some time when
railroad fare is at its lowest, in or.
der that an exchange of views per
tanning to the duties OF county
clerks may be had, as no two coun'
~ clerks seen on his trip have the
