After Che next Sunday evening service in
my church, little Johnnie, her brother,
about nine years old, walked up to the com
munon table and said, "Please, want to
Join the church." Here were five children
and their parents waiting to publicly con-
fess their faith in Jesus. ! shall have& lit
tie difficulty with my Elders, especially
about johnnie and Dot. But we must-con-
tinue to fold these lambs.
God has been pressing the claims of the
children upon the notice OF the churches in
a remarkable way, for long time, through
our brother Mr.. Hammond. The Children's
Special Service Mission, the fruit of his Ia
Dor in London, is doing great work. Many
childrens- prayer-meetngs and Christian
Bands have been formed. Teachers are
more direct, simple and evangelical in their
lessons, and Christians severally are more
awake to the fact that their work is to win
the children for Christ, and ADLER to speak
to them suitably, than in any period of the
church's history.
In this city the fact came out clearly, con
firming the faith and inflamiRg the zeal of
many, that the work of Mr.. Hammond in
these countries, eighteen years ago, was
real lasting work. Many bore testimony
orally or by letter that they had been con
verted to God at that time.
During his late visit, beginning in the
provinces, tTaversing this great city, and
CLOSING with brief run over parts of Nor
way and Sweden, showers of blessing fell
upon his word, and many thousands of
young people were converts to Cod Ret.

IN General.
The Lumber Industry.

The condition of lumber-mills and
sawmills in Michigan, Wisconsin and
Minnesota, 1890, has been announced.
Only planing-mills operated by lumber
manufacturers in connection with
lumber-mils are included. For the
purpose of the inquiry, lumber-mills in
clude only those which manufacture
sawed lumber as the principal product,
the term sawmills meaning all
other mills in which logs or bolts form
the principal raw material, and are
manufactured into any kind of product
other than lumber. The value of
forest products, not manufactured at
the mill, in Michigan, Wisconsin and
Minnesota, 1890, aggregates S3O,426,-
1914; value of mill products, S115,699,-
004; value of e-manufactures, S21 ,112,-
61S-making an aggregate value of
products in three states of S167 ,237 ,816.
The capital invested to produce this
value was S270, 152,012; men employed
in forests, 95, ass; women, ninety-nine;
children, ten; animals, 32,491. In the
mills the product required the labor of
81 939 men, GAG women, and 653 chill
dren. The amount represented in
operation of machinery and chemical
appliances, 1890, was S23,559 1874; the
expenditure of steam and water power
was reported as sufficient to lift $780,
600 tons one foot in one minute;
1862 ,151, $50 cubic feet of merchantable
timber were removed from natural
growth; S7,S90,254 were invested in
vessels and other means of transport,
and 99,68S,256 were expended for
wages, subsistence, supplies, and mis-
cellaneous purposes. The aggregate
increase of product since 1880 is re-
ported to be 2966 per cent in guam
tity, and 1892 per cent in value.
In the three states named above there
are 933 establishments operating mills,
with capital invested in timbered
land of $50, 3S1 ,446, the area being
6,S1S,941 acres, with an estimated total
product of merchantable timber of
40, 1872, SS3,209 feet (board measure).
The estimated value of standing timber
owned by these establishments is
$135, 6l2,007. White pine is by far the
most important product, the total on
timbered land being 1904, 557 ,519
feet.-Harper'S Weekly.

Fecundity OF Plants.

In comparing the animal and the
vegetable Kingdoms, Linneus denomi-
mates seed the eggs of plants. The fe-
cundity of certain species of plants is
simply marvellous. A single sunhower
will produce from 1000 to $4,000 seeds
in one summer; thepOppy, 32 900. One
plant of the catstail will produce two
to five spikes, each containing an aver
age of 10000 seeds. One root of the
East Indian elecampane will throw out
thirty stalks, each having seed vessel
containing 5000 seeds, or total of co.
600 seeds from single root in one sum
mer. Ray, the English scientist, says
that it takes 1912 tobacco seeds to
weigh one grain, and that a single plant
will produce 100000 seeds. The same
author estimates the annual seed prod
uct of the spleenwort to be upwards of
1000, 000,-POpular Science.

What is lacking is truth

If there we're absolute truth

"An advertising fake" you
