In this oity, and which 10 its work Is doing
much to solve the greatly discussed question
of show to reach the Masses" has, during
the summer months just closed, demonstrated
In very practical manner that one important
| way to reach the masses Is to carry the Cos.
pei to them. Their method has been to erect
q commodious and attractive tent in Q thickly
populated part Of the city, and there to carry
on q series of evangelistic services on cODsec.
utive evenings, Sundays included, furnishing
the best singing and preaching the pecuniary
ability of the association will permit. Nine
weeks of continuous meetings have been held
In the Boston tent, and two weeks In another
tent ut Georgetown, Mass. The meetings
have been characterized from the beginning
by large audiences and much religious inter.
est. The ministers and churches In all the
districts where the tent has been located, have
heartily CO. operated In the work, and several
of the pastors have lent their aid by preaching
when called upon. 1t IL impossible to calcu.
late the number of conversions which have
resulted from the work, but large number
have presented themselves as earnest iDquir-
ers, have been carefully followed up by Wis

hundred and fifty names have been given to
the various churches for which preference
has been expressed. The success Of the en-

supporters. and the work will probably be |
carried on smother year with increased facisi- |

The preaching Of the word has not the es-
TEEN with many Christians that 1t ought to
have. Much cause there may be to lament
that worship is not more markad feature of
our Sunday assemblies, but the answer DR..
Stalker makes to those who think sermons
are too much thought of is worth considering.
He says: "We are warned that we ought In
the church to speak to God and not to listen
to man. But think we do come to the church
to listen to man. 1t is quite true that In all
preaching there Is an element of human folly
and imperfection just as there is, for that
part, In all human praying. But wherever
an earnest minister Is speaking there God Is
speaking. Gods message is being delivered,
church we should speak to God. 1t is still
more important that God should speak and
we should llsten."-(Christian Inquirer.

A thing favorable to the spread of the Cos
pei In Italy Is the fact that the church build
ipgs throughout the land are not the proper
ty of the Papal Church. Should the major
ity of any parish become sufficiently enlight
ened TO desire Protestant pastor, It could
therefore, use It's own church for protestant
preaching, and would be defended by the
government In so doing. The schools OF
Italy, too, are all subject to the legislation
and inspection of the government.
Accordingly, If anything should occur, as 1t
may at almost any time, to disturb the exist
ing peculiar and precarious relations between
the government and the pope, the Italian peo.
pie might be found to be freer from papal
and influences than those even of
some nominally Protestant nations. Cardinal
Manning, few years ago, while deploring
the dlminution of the .papal power in Italy,
made the statement with exultation that the
growth of the Romish Church In these days
Is greatest In the most enlightened lands, viz,
In England and the United States.-[Congre-

Feed Them Better,

. The average salary Of ministers In tn
United States Is under four hundred dollars

grand work as saving souls, the ministry
should ever be nerveless. Some ascribe 1t to
lack Of piety, and some TO timidity of temper.

cases 1t Is from the lack of nourishlng food.

more food and he will have more fire. Next
to the Divine JUNCTION, the minister needs

Two Ways of Facing Life.

There are two genial ways of facing life.
One of absolute frankness, honesty, Open
ness; the other of deceit, conceslment and
tinesse. The latter method may or may not
have In itself more or less of absolute wrong.
The better of the two ways Is the attitude Of
absolute frankness. Such acttude promotes
fearlessness. 1t Is, however, subject to the
peril of appearing hard. But this impression
may be removed by deep love for man and
for God.-GChas. Thwyng In Christian Union.

celebrated their twentieth marriage ami
versary. About one hundred neghbors
aud friends were present. The evening
was pleasantly spent in social inter-
course, in amusing plays, and in par,icl.
pating OF the generous hospitality of their
home. A short address and prayer was
made by the minister present, who re-.
counted Gods care over the welded
twain and Invoked his further blessing
upon them as they renew their voyage
on the sea OF Matrmony, that their little
bark with It's precious cargo may not be
capsized by the tempest nor dashed
against hidden rock. Many hearty con-
gratulations were bestowed upon this
couple and not few good wishes were
expressed for their future. They were
not only honored with the presence OF
many; but also with many presents from
their numerous friep1s and well.wisbers
The occasion was a.so enlivened by the
Orsngeville band which discoursed some
fine music. We are constrained to say,
"Boys remember US when We have our
wedding anniversary" The occasion was
certainly a success, and stimulated a
desire among not few to have their
