HiSsoe'h d. 'rahhis' the past nine years, has
ever gone through the New York Postoffice,
%as 100000 and it has never missed an
Issue or failed to come to time promptly.
The paper is unique in Its aim. standing,
as it does for unity Of the creeds. "We
hold" it says. "that the efforts Of Christians
should henceforth be positive and continu-
| Gus toward an actual and visible oneness"
Consistent with this belief 1t invites contrl-
buttons from all evangelical denominations.
Mrs. Grannis, a quiet little bundle Of
energy" said New York paper several
years ago, ''holds tight rein; and in her
team OF assistants drives seven doctors of
divinity tandem" She does even better
now. for she drives nine. These contribut-
ing editors are the Revs. Charles H. Park
nell, Joseph r. Wilson, c. c. Salter, B. B..
Tyler, Richard G. Greene, w. S. Sayres and
Samuel L. Carter. The woman among them
is Frances E. Willard.
Mrs. Grannis is a stanch Repu blican, and
comes out strongly for the party candidates
in her editorials, thing quite unusual for
religious paper. The little editor was the
first one TO nominate Garfield, which she
did thirty years ago. She was then pupil
at the Lake Erie Seminary in Ohio, and she
called a meeting of the girls, took vote,
and made them promise to meet her in
Washington when Garfield was inaugurated.
Twenty years later when her long-hoped-
for candidate came up as the choice OF the
party, her paper for the first time proclaimed
its politics by coming out boldly for the Re-
publican nominee. Never before had a
religious paper taken such a course. The
conservatives stood aghast, and the church
dignitaries demonstrated. You will lose
most OF your Southern subscribers" they
pleaded. 81 have lost them," answered the
plucky woman. and went ahead unmoyed.
Up in one corner of the paper are the
simple words, "E. B. Grannis, Editor and
Proprietor" So the big wigs, little wigs
and all the others who read the journal at
once jumped to the conclusion that this i'm
portant individual, who stood at the head Of
such large enterprise and wrote forcible
and erudite editorials was grave and rev.
erend ID, with heavy iron-gray whisksrs,
bushy eyebrows. arrayed in white choker
and broadcloth. They invariably began
their communications with Dear Brother"
and addressed them Elder GraDnls," REV

the sort. About year ago she substituted

Brother Granns" is little woman with
light brown hair, waving softly away from

a gentle, kindly expression, brisk. bus-
nesslike manner Of speaking, and a delight

sands OF Years.


AS the evidence of the earth's crust proves
that our globe has lasted for incaleulable
ages. II becomes Of interest to think how far
the gradual elongation of the day may have
attained significant proportions since very
early times 1t may be that even in thou
sand years the effect of the tides is not
sufficient to alter the length Of the day by
so much as single second. But the effect
may be very appreciable or even large in a
million years, or ten million years. or a
hundred million years. We have the best
reasons for knowing that in intervals of
time comparable with those | have men
toned the change in the length of the day
may have amounted not merely to seconds
or minutes. but even to hours.
Looking into the remote past, there was a
time at which this globe spun around in
tweDty-three hours instead of twenty-four /;
at still earlier period the rate must have
been twenty hours, and the further we look
back the more and more rapidly does the
earth appear TO be spinning. At last as we
strain our gaze to some epoch SO excessively
remote that Ii appears TO have been anterior
20 those changes which geology recognizes,
we see that our globe was spinning round in
period of six hours or five hours. or pos
siby even less.
Here then is lesson which the tides have
taught us; they have shown that if the
