The Church and the People.

1t has become trite remark to say
that the church is losing the people.
1t is not true everywhere. 1t probably
is not true in all denominations. But
it is true as to most of the denomina-
tions in the great cities. The popula-
ton grows faster than the churches.
In New York city it is said that the
Methodist church, the church whose
glory has been its power over the peo-
pie, has in two decades lost sixty-siX
per cent-a most startling and alarming
statement. The Reformed aud Presby.
terrain bodies have lost respectively ten
and eight per cent in their rate of
growth. With this steady decline, how
long will it take to evangelize our
cities? 1t is manifest, if we are to
solve the problem of the city evangel-
ization, that there must be some change
in methods. The conservative plans,
which consist chiefly in having no
plan, must be surrendered. The reli-
gious club idea must be cast aside.
Glass distinctions must not be allowed
to dominate church work. We must
dare innovations. The cry of sensa-
tionalism is easily raised. 1t is the cry
of the somnolent, protest against be-
ing disturbed. But the gospel is the
great sensation. 1t is everlastingly
fresh and endlessly adaptable. The
church that adapts it to the popular con-
dition and needs will get the people,
and save them, and make them saw

Soldiers Budget.
A Bullet in His Brain.

"A case of very remarkable survival
with wound in the head has Just
come to light in my state" says w. E.
Jennings of Omaha, Neb. 1.-The mat
ter was made public through the appi-
cation of a widow for a pension. Her
husband had fought through the clvil
war in an Illinois regiment. In one of
the last battles of that bloody conflict
he was left for dead on the field with a
jagged wound in his right temple.
When the ambulance was making its
last round, however, one of the at
PENDANTS noticed signs of life in the
wounded man, picked him up and ten
derby conveyed him to the hospital.
The surgeons thought the soldiers case
so hopeless that they did not probe for
the bullet, and this is, doubtless, what
saved his life. Carter, that was his
name, laid in paralyzed and comatose
condition in the hospital for five weeks.
Then, under careful nursing and nour-
ishment, he began TO recover strength
and consciousness with remarkable
rapidity, until in two more months of
confinement he was discharged as re-
covered. But the war was over then,
hio NOhpohJ hdu oCdlICItu w lDt lOuT
winds of the earth, and be had no one
TO substantiate his relations of the
marvellous recovery he had just under
gone. The company's records showed
that he was dead, and the hospital PEG.
pie knew nothing of his identity. When
he emigrated to Nebraska, however, he
was recognized by an old companion in
arms, and bis record was properly es-
tablished on the company's rolls. He
carried the bullet in his head for twenty
six years, and while following his pillow
under blazing Nebraska sun one day
last summer dropped dead in the fur
row. On post-mortem examination it
was revealed that the sac that formed
around the bullet in his brain and held
it in place for so many years had broken,
and the rupture killed him. The medi.
cal fraternity may doubt this, but have
the facts to substantiate my story. st.

Proper Care of Gloves.

One person wears gloves as if they
had just come from the shop,-every
seam straight, every button not only on,
but fastened. Others may be Just as
careful, and have fault of doubling up
the hand. This stretches them across
the knuckles, and when the hand is
Strengthened there is a puff across the
back. Some persons wear gloves that
look, even the first day they are tried
on, as if some other person had had the
first wear, and all the freshness was
gone. There are others who are never
known to wear a glove that is fit to be
seen. Many person goes out with
shabby, ripped, soiled gloves, and tries
to believe that no one will notice. AT
one time some very young ladies started
the remark that soiled light gloves were
the style. For time others followed
what they supposed was the fashion,
but lost self-sespect by SO doing. No
woman is well dressed unless she is
well gloved and well shod. No matter
how fine the other raiment may be; if
soiled or ragged gloves are worn, the
effect is ruined. There was a woman
on Washington street one day who wore
black velvet dress and mantle, heavily
trimmed with jet. There were dia-
monds like headlights in her ears. The
black gloves were ragged and the color
had worn off, her shoes were down at
the heel, and most of the buttons were
gone. The two items of her attire that
should have marked the lady were want
ing. Gloves are abused not only in the
careless wearing, but in the way in
which they are kept. Pulling them off
wrong side out and leaving them so, or
wadding them up in punches, does lot
improve them. When the glove is
taken off carefully, it should be pulled
into shape, and, if the hands are in
clined to moisture, they should be
blown full of air and hung up to dry
for few minutes, then should be put
in box. Evening gloves should be
put in tissue paper; suit gloves be
worn only with the clothes which they
match. The white chamois gloves
(Which are not chamois at all, but
prepared kidd which were fashionable
last year are TO be worn more than ever
with corduroy suits for the street. All
gloves are to be lightly embroidered,
mostly in black. The heavy black is
no longer good FORM Exchange.

PROFESSOR ROBERTSON made a state
ment at the New York dairy convention
as an illustration of the value of good
feeding, that he knew man in the
Province of Quebec who had four cows.
In 1888 they gave rs pounds of butter
each. He commenced feeding little
corn and bran, and in 1889 they gave
13l pounds of butter each He kept
increasing the ration and good care, and
in 1890 it was 204t, and this year it will
be 250 pounds. This shows what men
can do with the common COW.

A LITTLE GIRLS EXPERIENCE IN A

Trescott are keepers of the government
lighthouse at Sand Beach, Mich. and

old. Last April she was taken down

cough and turning into fever. Doc

but in vain. She grew worse rapidly,
until she was mere handful of

THERE is no greater mistake than to
suppose that Christians can impress the
world by agreeing with it. No, it is
not conformity that we want; it is not
being able to beat the world in its own
way,-but it is to stand apart and above
it, and to produce the impression of a
holy and separate life. This only can
give us a true Christian power.-Dr.
Bushnell.

FURIOUS FOR NOTHING.

The members of the Labor Union
who are making fuss in the papers
about piece of news in the BULLE-
TIN are not doing any credit to their
intelligence or their manners. This
paper published the simple fact regard
ing what the police thought of the
meeting held Wednesday evening.
A stronger report .was in type, bat
was withheld because a report of the
meeting, written by member of the
Union, was received which if true
showed that the police were mis-
taken. The members who furiously
rushed into print were too blinded
by unaccountable rage to acknow-
ledge that this paper printed the re-
port of their meeting as it was re-
ceived. Neither could they see that
the report of the police view said
nothing against the Labor Union, but
simply raised doubt as to whether
the gathering in question was one OF
that organization. Since the secre-
tary and other members have exhi-
bited so much fury and facility of
dshwife diction, they may as well be
told that their president contradicts
a statement made by nearly every
one of them. That officer came TO
the BULLETIN office and when he had
denied the police report was shown

1t will be seen in our news that q
measure is before Congress tto ex-
clude political influence in the en-
ployment of laborers under authority
of the United States" If it become
law we hope Hawaii will follow the
illustrious example. The expecta-
tion of position and employment in
return for party services claimed to
have been rendered is one, if not the
chief, cause of keeping the political
pot constantly boiling in this coun-
try. Under the secret ballot espe-
cially there is no place for such a
system OF rewarding supporters, for
anybody may claim to have been
with the winning side after the cat
has jumped.

Of the Labor Union meeting held last
Wednesday evening was courteously
received and published, as requested.

clan of the Liberal persuasion, yet
my word was freely taken by the

1t is matter of regret to many
that writer's (unintentionally no
doubt) rather disown any connection
with Mr.. Robert Wilcox. 1t is cer-
tainly due TO that gentleman to state
he never applied or sent any propo-
sal for membership. AS no harm
has been done it does not seem
necessary to make such big kick
about so trivial an error.

the latter report as incorrect, as no
application to affiliate with the

to Philadelphia, and the Union has
nothing to do with the Knights or any

General Miles, U. S. A, says, "It
is ludicrous to think of holding the
navy responsible for 1000 miles of
frontier" Some people in this coun-
try seem to think the United States
is anxious to add the hundreds of
miles of rugged Hawaiian coasts to
the responsibility of her navy. She
has bought naval station in Samoa
and may want another here, but that
is probably the most she will require
