Pilates Wife.

Our curiosity is greatly aroused re

nothing about her in Scripture except
what is mentioned in this one incident
Tradition identifies her as Claudia Pro
cula, and it has been conjectured that,
bearing such name. she must have be

was sitting on the throne at the time of
our Lord being Tiberius Claudius. Be
ing thus of high station. it is possi-
Die that it was through her in
fiuence that her husband, POntius
Plate. was made procuratOr of
Judea; for Pilates own birth was com
paratively humble. seeing that the
name Plate is derived from the cap
which was worn as a distinguishing
badge by manumitted slaves, and the
epithet marks him out as freedman,
or as descending from one. Sheaccom-
panied her husband to Palestine, and 1t
Is striking illustration of the truth
fulness of the scripture narrative that
it was only during the reign of Tibe-
RUS Claudius that the wife of Roman
was allowed to accompany her husband
to the provinces which he ruled. In
early times law was expressly passed
TO prevent magistrate taking his wife
with him TO the sphere Of his jurisdiction

The ministers are nov returning to

own country places, and soon the fash

We do not hear of any movement for
the originatiOn of grand spiritual and
religious campaign for the autumn aud
winter. No sign of any great religious
revival at present appears, though never
before were religious interest and in
quiIy so active and so widespread as
they are now. Religion is the LrOmi-
nent subject of conversation and dis
cussion at this time, and the people are
ready to listen intently to prophets and
expounders who can and will present
to them genuine religious truth. They
do not need to be driven in TO near such
discourses. They will 90 of their own
accord and in multitudes.
Yet the promise for the autu mn is that
the clergy aIe to be Withdrawn from
their religious occupation in order to
enlist as ward politicians. The Munica-
pal League, as it calls itself. has devised
a plan for turning the churches into
political clubs managed by the pastors.
The sermons are to be stump speeches
and the prayer meetings partisan gath
erings for booming the clerical ticket.
Parish visitors and workers will go
about electioneeTing for the candidates
and point out the sinfulness of voting
for any ether. while the parson is at
tending political conclaves to arrange
the further strategy OF the campaign.
That is what Will happen il the
Leagues device works Religion will

observe how many Ct the clergy aud of
the churches will take part in the
scheme TO substitute politics for re-
ligion. A public meeting to bring them
TO its support is TO be held shortly. and
we shall then get some indication as TO
what is TO be the magnitude of this ex
movement.

The Noinnukians.

It is yet too early TO say that a new
language will ultimately be adopted
so that the confusion of tongues will be
effectively removed, ara the world
will transact its business. if it does not
carry on its SOCIAL intercourse by a COM
mon language that supersedes them all
and easily acquired. The advantages
of such a language are obvious, and
when Mr.. SimonsOn, the orator of
the NOlapukians who we're assem-
bled in convention in this city last
week. saws that already there are
) 100000 students of this language, of
" HON 900 900 are proficient in 1t, and
that 200 business houses are using il,
and that it has so journals aud is heard
in 80 countries, the practical sue
cess Of the new language demands
recognition. 1t is in the position. to
a Limited degree, Of an accomplished
fact. 1t is only twelve years since FIR.
Schleyer, the originator, first hit upon
the basis on which the structure of
NolapUk could b. established. His idea
was that, by combining the roofs OF all
languages. a common agreement could
be reached by which each one could be
made to strike a keynote in the new
combination. He was able to converse
in thirty languages. and be knew the
grammatical construction Of fifty more.
He was certainly entitled, if any one
might be, TO take the initiative ia re-
duciug the difficulties of communica-
ton between people Of different coun-
tries by cross cut process, and it is
from him that the whole movement has
sprung. The urgency Of such means
Of communication is brought home 10

between people of efficient nationali-
ties, which is increasing with all the
