BOOKMAKERs ROGUEs.

Apart from the grosser forms of
roguery, the bookmakers have great
advantage over the public. With
their comparatively easy access to
Jockeys, stable boys, and others in
the secret of the stables, to say
nothing Of their facilities for unearth-
ing unsupported causes of disqualifica-
ton. they are in far better position than
the public to know what is not going
TO win. In unison with the possession
of such secrets, remarkable system

There is, at the same time. consider
able mutual dependence between racing
aud betting. Racing. of course. is the
Substratum Of betting; but nobody who
looks facts in the face can fail TO see
that racing derives a great deal of re-
ciorocal support from betting. 1t would
beidle to suppose that the crowds which

The greater possibilities. however. lie
in the work for children. with whom
one can DO whatever he pleases. The
wise pastor will open his heart to them
every one, and bid them nestle there
as In mothers arms. He can teach
them by his own example. by his kindly
and considerate treatment of them. by
casual conversations with them in their
homes: bnt is it not time for every pas
tor to come into even closer touch with
the children of his parish as their spir-
itual guide and teacher
There is also a vastly important iis.d
for the pastor to cultivate in the spirit
ual training of his younger church
members. We certainly have learned
better than TO regard church
ship as constituting character. 1t is
quite impossible too highly to esteem
the value of subsequent training In the
formation of character and in prepare
ton for the work of God. This training
is chief part Of the pastors great
work. and is neglected or sighted only
at great loss. Who does not know that
one well-trained and thoroughly
equipped discipline is worth more TO
the church than a score Of those who
only have name to liver And is it not
fact that we have 60 many OF
these name-C Christians, because pastors
have failed to discharge the teaching
function Of their ministry
There is. moreover, one thing to be
SAID in view of the seeming fact, that 1t
is a greater work to preach to bun
dreds than to teach dozens. The
teacher of dozens becomes teacher OF
teachers, and through their work
greatly widens his influence and
deepens his power. just as the profes'
sor in a theological seminary with his
ten aud twenty students yields a vaster
influence than ne could as preacher to
many hundreds, SO does the wise and
faithful pastor. who is all the while
teaching bis people how to be like
Christ. WELD a much wider influence
through them than that which results
from mere preaching. 1t is not simply

nANr OF NEwsPAPER GOSSIP.

AS long as gossip was oral, it spread.

very small area, and was confined to the
immediate circle of his acquaintance.
II did not reach, or but rarely reached,

NorEs AND COMMENT.

Pastor Felici, of Udine, Italy. recent
ly delivered an address, in which he
gives an interesting inside view Of the
progress and success of the Protestant
Evangelization of Italy. The systematic
work of evangelization really began,
however, with the eighth decade of the
present century. when the political
uriOn of Italy first made this possible.
La all the larger and in many OF the
smaller cities there are Protestant con-
gregations with a membership Of a hun
dred and more. The number of sympa-
thizers is much greater. Even in the
villages evangelists have begun to
preach the Gospel. The Italian Pro
testants, as a rule, belong to the lowly
of the land, and the erection of school
houses and churches and the mainte-
nance of separate organizations is not
an easy work for them. The outlook.
however, is very hopeful.
1t is expected that the decision of the
court of the Archbishop of Canterbury
in the case of the Bishop of Lincoln.
against whom complaint was made for
rltualistic practices, will be announced
the present month. The Bishop of Sal
isbury, who was one of the archbishOp's
assessors in the case, in recent speech
said that he hoped the clergy would
try to take the decision patiently, and
make the best of il when it should be
announced He said he could not, of
course, say anything about the features
OF the judgment on particular points,
but the judgment would be a unani-
nous one.
The JOINT committee of the Methodist
New Connection and the Methodist
Free Churches of England has issued a
report which declares in substance that
the union of the two bodies is not only
desirable but practicable. The report
will be presented to the annual assem-
bly, OF each of the bodies. 1t is thought
that it will result in their union.

THE PASTOR As A TEACHER.

A formal call to minister of the
GOSPEL to assume the leadership of q
church of Christ often contains an in'
yitation for him to become the pastor
and teacher" of the church. The form
CT term is figurative. and may cover the
ordinary meaning OF the latter; bui
when both terms are used, unless 1t be
q mere matter of form, 1t Is evident
that some further function is added to
the office, or that special emphasis Il
meant TO be put upon certain phases OF
the pastoral work.
The teaching function of the minis
try, as distinguished from pastoral
oversight, or preaching, always needs
TO be emphasized. 1t Is the function
that is most difficult. and that IS most
likely to be sighted: and yet 1t is .
question whether il is not more impor-
tant than either preaching or oversight.
A distinguished leader in our Sunday
school work is reported to haye said re-

pastorate, he would give much more as

conviction that is becoming general.
