The Church of Christ in Japan.

The Presbyterians of Japan have
united on the basis of the following
brief and beautiful Confession of
Faith:
The Lord Jesus Christ, whom we
worship as God, the only begotten
Son of God, for us men and for our
salvation was made man and suffered.
He offered up a perfect sacrifice for
sin; and all who are one with Him
by faith are pardoned and accounted
righteous; and faith in Him working
by love purifes the heart.
The Holy Ghost, who with the
Father and Son is worshipped and
glorifed, reveals Jesus Christ to the
soul; and without His grace man be-
ing dead in sin, cannot enter the
kingdom of God. BY Him the pro-
phets and apostles and holy men Of
old were inspired; and He speaking
in the Scriptures of the Old and New
Testament is the supreme and in.
ftllible judge in all things pertaining

Insect Life.

From our Grange Homes report of
the Bay State Agricultural Society
meeting, we clip the following:
Prof. Fernald gave some interesting
statements as to the fecundity of
some of the insects which are the
pests of the farmer. The tent cater
pillar lays from 800 to 400 eggs. The
plant louise produces ten generations
in one season; all are born alive and
are females. The tenth generation
are both male and female. From
one egg in the spring, if no diseases
or enemies destroyed, there would be
one quintillion lice before the end of
the season. The figure is so large as
to be beyond comprehension. If the
insects were placed in a line, one
seasons progeny, from single egg,
would reach around the earth six
million times, and, uncontrolled by
any disaster, would destroy every
green thing on the globe.
1t is estimated that there are two
million different species of insects in
existence,or an average of ten tC
each kind Of plant. But corn, for ex>
ample, has "a insect pests and the
