NUNBER OF MANUALS

TO show the orderly working Of the system
for the benefit, especially, Of those unfamiliar
with it. The most popular are those by the
Rev. A. III. Ross, ID. d., the Rev. j. f. Roy,
ID. d., and the Rev. RI. M. Dexter, ID. ID.
The last named, whose recent death has
caused wide regret on both sides Of the sea,
was pre-eminently the historian and anti
quarry Of COngregatiOnalism, and his most
elaborate work, "Three Centuries of COngre-
gatiOnalism," is q monumental classic.
No man in our time has done so much to
bring 20 light all the accessible history of
the Congregational Church, which planted at
Plymouth in 1920 the first permanent set
tlement in New England. Largely indebted
to him is the Library Of the
AMERICAN CONGREGATIONAL ASSOCIATION
in Boston, where, in fre-proOf structure,
is q collection Of inestimable worth relating
to the early history Of New England, and by
far the richest in its specialties of any in
America The library is annexed to the
Congregational House, where is the general
headquarters for denOmjnatiOnal literature.
Here also il the publication Office of The
COngregqfiOHalist, which is the representative
journal of the Eastern, as The Advaacs, Of
Chicago, is Of the Western churches.
The free association and cooperation
which, as this sketch shows, have so greatly
promoted the growth Of Congregational
churches in America for the past 30 years
are soon to be carried further. In July,

UNION OF CHURCHES

upon certain heads of agreement. To the
Congregational churches belong, ON one
hand, q desire for all practicable unity,
which has often been proved at the cost Of
their merely denominational interests, and,
on the other hand, the advantage of the
fewest denOminational impediments to
unity, whether in ereeds, or sacraments, or
traditions.
The only impediment to Church unity, in
a Congregati0nalist's point of view, is in the
Interpretation put upon the Historic Epis-
eopate," so called, the adoption of which the
EpiscopaIian Overtures regard as essential.
AS to this, CongregatiOnalist5 can eoneede
that it may be important to the we'll
being of churches. In the Superintendents
of their missionary fields at home and abroad
they have already Bishops in fact, if not in
name. Bishop" Gin Greek episcopos) meant
originally superintendent" An EpiscOpate
of superintendenee may be requisite for the
best dealing with the problems now pre-
sented both By city and by country pOpula-
tions. The one impossible concession for q
CongregationaIist to make is that the Epis-
copate Is Gs essential TO the being of o church
as to its well-b being This could not be
granted without unchurching nine genera
tions of veneFatsd memory, and without
going back TO q theory of upernaturalism
which is now paling in the advent of bet
ter philosophy.

rs form which ft assumes, while the super-
natural is the heart Of nature, as the power
which mOlds the form. This idea is now
prominent in discussions Of matter and
force, life, and the evolution of forms,
miracle and providence, God and Nature.
Then its first emergence was in the eOntro-
versy upon the constitution Of the Church.
The Anglican theory held that a supernat-
ural grace had been communicated to the
clergy, which they only could impart.
Epi5cOpacy, therefore, was necessary for
the very existence of the Church. To shis
the COngregationalists replied that the
power Of the Spirit was from within, and
that every Christian congregation possessed
through the indwelling Spirit al the super
natural grace and all the divine right that
any bishop or priest might claim, whether
to organize them into churches or to choose
and Ordain their ministers.
1t is an interesting coineident that the
parties to that ancient and by no means
now extinct, controversy stand at present
about equal among the religious bodies of
America, the COngregatiOnalists being the
sixth and the Episeopal,an5 the seventh in
point Of numbers, and both having made the
recent period the most hOurishing Of their
history ON this continent. To the EpiscO-

Killed at MAZDA gascar.

The Petit Journal of Paris publishes
the news from Madagascar of a massacre
by natives of soldiers forming the es-
cort of a medical officer. DR.. Beziat,
chief of the medical staff of the French
colony at Subervieville, was descending
the Betsiboka river, escorted by all
the native soldiers, forming part of the
auxiliary French force in that district.
The doctor and his escort were en- route
to Maiunga, the town just destroyed,
when they were suddenly attacked by
a hand of Madagascar bandits, who
opened fire upon them from the river
banks.
The native soldiers forming DIR.
Beliat's escort behaved bravely and
promptly returned the fire opened upon
them from the Jungle. They were,
however, placed at a great disadvant-
age, from the fact that while they
formed clear target for bandits the
latter were so effectively concealed that
the escort was only able to aim at the
puffs of smoke and flame issuing from
the river banks.
The doctors boat was kept going
down stream as fast as possible, while
the escorts answered the bandits fire.
DIR. Beziat was one of the first to sue
cumb to the attack. He was shot
through the body as he was emptying
his revolver at the natives hidden in
the banks, and as he staggered a second
shot hit him, causing him to fall into
the river where he was subsequently
dispatched with assegais, thrown by the
bandits from their hiding places.
Eight of the native soldiers forming
the escort were also killed by the
bandits, who plundered the baggage ot
the doctor and took possession of every,
thing portable. A detachment of troops
has been sent in pursuit of the bandits
but there is not much prospect that
they will be captured unles betrayed
| by other natives,

Caring for Seed.

One OF the most important items
with seed during the winter is to keep
it dry. Nearly all kinds OF seed will
withstand considerable cold without
injury if dry, but if wet, the vitality
will often be considerably injured. In
nearly all cases corn, cane, or other
kinds, whether garden or field, it will
be found a good. plan to spread
out and dry thoroughly before storing
away, and then, by storing in dry
place, they can be kept in a good con-
dition. 1t is not dry cold, but wet cold
that Injuries In nearly all cases seed
shou be selected in the fall and kept
separate. 4 better quality can nearly
always be secured and this is impor-
tant. And after it is selected, then it
should be stored in a way to keep it in
the best condition. 1t is better to pur-
chase seed than to risk the crops with
those OF an uncertain quality; but il
they are to be sowed from what is
grown on the farm, select in good sea-
son and store so as to keep in the best
condition at least.

A feeling of dullness,

a feeling of d,tllness,
languor, and depression means that
your liver isn't doing its part. That
means impure blood, to begin with,
and all kinds of ailments in the
end.
But you can stop them in advance.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry invigorates the liver, purifies and
enriches the blood, and rouses every
organ into healthy action. 1t pre-
vents and cures all diseases arising
from torpid liver or from impure
blood. Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Bill
iousness, Scrofulous, Skin and Scalp
Diseases - even Consumption or
Lung-scrofula }, in its earlier stages,
all yield to it.
The makers of the discovery"
claim for it only what it will do.
They guarantee that it aoiU do it.
If it fails to benefit or cure, in
any case, they'll return the money.
Nothing else that claims to purify
the blood is sold in this way
which proves, no matter what
dealers may offer, that nothing else
can be "just as good" Therefore,
don't accept a substitute.

Peculiar Customs Observed by

In some countries curious customs
prevail in regard to selecting name
or the baby.
A Hindoo baby is named when it is
IL days old, and usually by the
mother. Sometimes the father wishes
or another name than that selected
by the mother; in that case two
amps are placed over the two names,
and the name over which the lamp
burns the brightest is the one given

In an Egyptian family the parents

The Mohammedans sometimes
write desirable names on five slips OF
paper, and these they place in the
Koran. The name upon the first
slip drawn out is given to the child,
The children of the Amos, people
living IN Northern Japan, do not
receive their names until they are )
years old. 1t is the father who then
chooses the name by which the child
Is afterward called.

aame in addition to their surnames,

these names until they are 20 years
Did. At that age the father gives his
son new name.
The Chinese care so little for their
irl babies that they do not give them
baby name, but just call them
Number One, Number Two, Number
Three, according to their birth.
Boys are thought so much more of
IN China than girls are that if you ask
a Chinese father who has both a boy
and a girl how many children he has
he will always reply: "Only one

German parents sometimes change
the name OF their baby if it is i'll; and
The japanese are said to change the
name OF child four times.

eclipsed in size and amount any book order
ever before given. In less than six months
every one of these $4,000 Bibles were given
away to new subscribers to The Christian

new subscriptions ever secured by any re-
ligious publication in the same time. An
other large order for Oxford Teachers

Inundated by "a River.

A curious story comes from Wengh-
slang. The town suffers from mum
dations of the Yellow river, and two
years ago movement was started by
the local magistrate to build break
water. The chief difficulty lay in the
want of sufficiently large stones. Sud
denly, however, to the establishment of
the community, a heavy storm of wind
and rain deluged the country and
brought down an endless quantity Of
huge stones exactly suited to the pur-
pose. The people naturally regarded
the incident as direct manifestation
of divine power in aid of great public
undertaking, and the Governor of the
district cites fact which conclusively
proves the supernatural origin of the
went. One of the stones, he saws,
which was as large as a house, was in
Ieribed with seal characters, two of
which, meaning "work" and "stone, =
respectively, he was able to decipher.

lcal comfortableness.
Then this widely Travelled young
beauty, who spent several years in
Greece, told most entertainingly of
her first lesson in sitting on genuine
Turkish couch. 1t was in STEAMBOAT,
the Oldest part OF Constantinople,
that they went to reception given
by an Armenian lady, but recently
smancipated, and consequently able
to receive general company.
Escorted by son of grand vizier
and a beautifully handsome young
Turco Greek, their sedan chairs were
borne along dark, tortuous streets,
through narrow, treacherous alley,
past secretive looking doorways, to a
great arched portal.
One rap, the ancient barrier fell
sway, and behold all the pagan splen-
dor OF Haroun-al- Raschid was sud

apartments stretching away one after
another, fitted with gorgeous rugs,
carpets of priceless beauty screening
the walls, card tables set here and
there, with those tiny tables of be-
loved memory heaped with crystal
eomtits.
There were present so men in East
srn dress, and four women in all-three
Europeans and the Armenian hostess.
The men played cards diligently, their
lmpassiye faces guiltless ofexpression,
while the strange women wandered
about examining the many oriental
treasures OF the vast rooms.
1t was not until the American mad
emoselle approached great divan of
glowing colors and proceeded to seat
herself that this curious entertain
ment became at all livened. Drawing
her skirts primly about her, she sat
gingerly on the very edge, with two
heat little toes carefully balanced to
touch the floor.
Then the young Greeks dignity was
lost in amusement; he laughed, and
begged permission to give afew lessons
In the art OF using couch. "Sit on
your foot" he commanded; "curl it
comfortably under you, so. Now be
seated, far back, build wall of cush-
