The Yukon River.

An Alaskan explorer says of his voy-
age down the Yukon river: 1T was
the grandest river journey 1 ever
made, and doubt whether there is a
river in the world that can equal it for
magnificent scenery. For miles we
foated down between huge rocky
banks that lowered fully 5000 feet
above our heads. The sky looked like
blue slit and the echoes between
these stony ramparts were something
that would have driven a solitary man
crazy. The same sound was there
hurled back at you dozen times. COM

The Christ Church Choir.

Too much praise cannot be given the
music committee and the vestry, for do
ing away with the quartet choir which
has been in vogue for so many years and
which has become monotonous to nearly
every one. Since the change has been
made, the chorus choir has given more
than general satisfaction and one and all
are loud in praise of the fine music and
excellent singing at every service in the
church. Prof Wilkins spares no time in
training the choir voices and its whole
membership are more than willing pupils.
Organist George w. Roberts has presid-
ed at the organ for so many years that it
is now under his complete control and
his elastic touch. Miss Klein, soprano,
is too well known to the public to need
mention of the finely rendered solos
which her clear, fine voice gives to wor-
shippers, every Sunday. 1t is doubtful
if one could be found in the whole parish
willing to change back to the quartet
choir.

Christ Church Sunday School.

Like the church during the past five
years, the Sunday school has steadily in
creased in the number of scholars who
regularly attend the school, which is now
held every Sunday, Immediately after the
morning services. Owing to the large
increase, the old school room would not
accommodate the children, and, in order
to make room, the older classes have been
moved into the church, so that now, dur
ing the time that the Sunday school is in
session, not only the church, but the Sun
day school room are well filled. Mr. War
ner expects that, at no distant date, some
benevolent person may be generous
enough to do deed of charity, either by
giving now or bequeathing money to
build parish hall, large enough not only
to accommodate the present school, but
with room for many more poor unfortu-
nate children who never attend a Sunday
school. He faithfully promises that, if
the building occupies the whole lot adj
joining the church, he will have it filled
by children who will regularly attend
Sunday school. This lot adjoining the
church property is already owned by the
society, which would, of course, much
lessen the amount of money needed, as it
would not be necessary to. purchase a
firing energy and determination, has tax
en- the matter in hand, and, as he has yet
to fail in anything that he has undertake
en- in the parish, members and friends
feel confident that it will not be long be-
fore some one will come forward and
start the ball rolling, SO that the corner
stone can be laid at no distant day. At
present, the assistant superintendent, Mr.
Green, is busy making arrangements for
the annual picnic of the school, which
will be held at Parlor Rock on July 15,
1891. The practice of many parents, of
letting children go alone, is altogether
wrong and it is earnestly hoped that,
this year, either one Of the parents, or
some older member of the family will ac-
company the children to help make it
day Of perfect enjoyment. The Easter Of
fering Of the Sunday school for parish
work the past year, amounted to $3.50 81
and the schools Christmas offering for
the support of a scholarship in St.Mark's
school, Salt Lake City, Utah, amounted
to $40. The offerings, this year, show
large increase over last year and,
with the rapid growth of the Sunday
school, its offerings must necessarily in
crease so that the finances will be ID
flourishing condition. The chorister,
Prof A. ]. Wilkins, devotes much of his
time to the school and the scholars, UNI
der bis tuition, are making fine progress
IN singing. Some are already members

blocks the chariot wheels of Christ's

the whole great trunk, with roots and

The time is occupied in sewing, making
garments for the needy children in the

singing by note to the class. The closing
exercises and exhibition of work was
held June Is, 1891, in the parish build

school is under the management of Mrs

1t now numbers 235 scholars. During
this school year, 1917 garments have been

REV B. e. WARNER.

The present incumbent, Rev Beverly
E. Warner, is the 10th rector, coming to
Christ church parish January 3, 1886. He
was born in Jersey City, October Ia, 1885,
remaining at home until he entered col
lege. He graduated at Princeton and
Trinity colleges and, in theology, from
Berkeley divinity school, Middletown, in
1879. From Trinity college, he received
the honorary degree of M. A. in July,
1886. He has been rector of Grace, Stat
ford Springs; st Mary's, South Mnnches-
ter; Christ church, Stratford and from
the latter came to Christ church, Bridge
port, being unanimously chosen by the
wardens and vestry to take charge of the
parish. Not one of the vestry or MEM
bers of the parish have anything but
praise now for the able manner in which
the affairs of the parish have been car
ried on and the many improvements
made. Mr. Warner is an interchangeable
worker. Five years ago, when he con-
sented to accept the rectorship of the par
ish, it was in very poor financial condi-
ton and had settled down to matter of
fact way of doing everything. All life in
the work was at standstili and there
was no ready money to carry out any
work. Many another young rector would
not have been willing to accept such an
offer, but would have looked for a richer
field. Not SO Mr. Warner. With any
amount of pluck and energy, he had a
firm determination chat the parish
should be brought forward and made the
leading Episcopal parish of the city. il
the vestry and the members Of the par
ish would give him all the aid they
could. This they have done and, aided
by more than generous vestry and the
parish members, he has been steadily at
work, ever starting some new guild or
work and, thus far, whatever has been
started has been a perfect success and
will be for years to come. Besides all
the guilds already in fine working order
and doing much to help the poor and
needy at home, as well as in remote pla-
ces, the church has been thoroughly
overhauled and re-decorated BY Geiss-
Ter of New York city. The side CALLER

have been taken out and the old plain

by four handsome memorial windows.

to his wife, Martha Maria Tomlinson; to
Isaac II. Whiting, one of the founders of
the parish; to John S. Smith. The old
chancel rail and furniture have been re-
moved and in their stead, new and mod
ern fittings take their place, in keeping
with the other improvements. The whole
wood work received a new finish and the
way for years, were done away with.
There is no doubt but that the changes
and alterations were the largest that had
been attempted since the edifice was
built, so that now the church is equally
as well fitted up as any in the city.
The year ending June l, 1891, finds the
parish in more than prosperous condi-
ton and, with the steady increase in it's
members and under its present rector's
management, it will still continue to I'M
prove. The offerings for all purposes for
the year just ended amounted to $10,-
O7S 90, showing a large increase. All
this income is received directly through
pew rentals, pledges or offerings No
fairs, suppers or theatricals are held to
extort money from the members of the
parish and, thus far, it has proved a sue
cess. The voluntary offerings show a
yearly increase over former years when
fairs, ETC., were held to raise money.

BRIDGEPORT.

Rev Beverley E. Warner delivered an
admirable address before the young
teachers who graduated, last week, from
the training school. He showed that of
1000 children who enter the public
schools but so or 60 continue their studies
so as to graduate from the High school
and pointed out that the schools should
be arranged for the education of the $50
scholars who do not go through, instead
of for the tenth who graduate. He plead
ed for the average scholar, that he be
thoroughly grounded in the rudiments of
knowledge, so that he may successfully
grapple with the questions of daily bread
and actual life and character. Here is a.
very fruitful seed thought.

The Red Cross Chapter, Miss Lily Ray

the year just ended it distributed to the
orphan asylum, jail, hospital, widows

books, 1866 magazines, 1854 papers, to-
tai of 1896 copies. This shows a large
increase over last years figures, but
there are yet many families with great
piles of papers, magazines, books, ETC.,
for which they have no use, lying about
the house, that should send them to this
chapter, in order that they may be dis
tributed. Could these families but ac-
company the members of this chapter on
one of their weekly trips to the various
institutions, and see with what pleasure
the occupants receive this reading mat
ter, and how much they prize it, it would
not be long before families who have
never taken the trouble to send in old

duty, as we'll as pleasure, to help all they

something on Saturdays to the church.

turns which their logic takes. 1t not in fire.
quently happens that they seem to be imper-

some train of thought which the hearer does
not follow.
The other day, for instance, little Percy,
who is one of the most respectful of children,
asked his father how the letters, which he
names they do.
'Oh, that is only the way men decided to
name them" his father answered. "They had
to be called something 80 that we could tell

Bells were in use in China, Japan and In
dia long before they were known in Europe
In the space fronting the temples of Nikko
Japan, there are enormous bells of exquisite
purity of sound. too heavy to be suspended
in any tower which this people build, and 30
they are swung on low frames of stout tim
Der, the bell being only three or four feet,
from the ground.
They are rung by means of battering rams,
made of long joists of hard wood, suspended
so as to swing by the united aid of many hu-
man hands. They give out soft and muffled,
though deep and far-reaching notes.
