We have no right to live as did the church of the first century, when much was tentative and experimental. We have a background of triumphant his tory. We have a demonstration the apos- ties could not have. "Eighten hundred and ninety-two means that we are not sallying forth on a novel errand, that we are not bearing some new nostrum for the ills of humanity. It means that the gospel of Christ has shown it's power in Europe, Asia, Africa, America; that the finest civilization of the world has been it's product; that the noblest souls of the race have drunk at it's fountains that all the philanthropies of modern life have sprung from the example of Jesus and that whoever puts 1892 at the head of any document renders involuntary homage to the Savior of mankind. Under the equa- tor and the arctic circle, beneath palm and pine, beside cathedral and pagoda, to Saul of Tarsus and to Joseph Necsima, has Christ proved able to regeneratc the individual heart and to mould nation . life-T Rev Dr w.

THE BICYCLE.
Rapid Growth ofthe Bicycle Indus.
try i'm This Country.

Rapid Growth of the Bicycle Indus-
try in This Country.
It matters not which way one
turns nowadays, a bicycle is nearly
always in sight. The machines
seem to multiply wonderfully. Mr..
H. S. Fulper is rapidly becoming
a popular dealer. He has sold a
number of handsome Columbias of
late. The marvellous growth OF
the bicycle industry during the last
few years is patent to all who live
in cities. In 1891, 10000 wheels
were constructed in this country,
nearly all of which were sold, in
addition to &c, 1000 English ones inn
ported.
The pneumatic tire, with which
almost all high priced wheels are
equipped this year, is a decided
boon to womankind, Or at least to
those of the sex who use the wheel.
One of the most unpleasant feat
ures of the safety bicycle has been
the vibration. Many of the riders
of the ordinary bicycle-as the old
style high wheel is called-prefer-
red to continue its use long after
the manifest advantages of the
safety asregafds freedom from falls
and other good points had been
made apparent, owing to its COM
parative freedom from that COM
plaint The cushion tire brought
many of these riders down from
their lofty perch, and the coming
of the pneumatic has completed
their subjugation.

Confusion Possible.

What a serious thing it might be
should a fire alarm be started
Just at the second on which the ST.
Nicholas bell strikes the three
strokes announcing o'clock A. NJ,
noon, and o'clock P. M. What
a confusion of sounds might ensue!
And how much time the fremen
might lose in waiting until the
confusion was over, the strokes
from the alarm box be recognized
and the fire definitely located!
Fires in these modern times and
among modern material gain an
astonishing headway in an incred-
ib1e short space of time. If the
custom of ringing these hours
must be carried on, let it be upon
a special bell.

The West Shore railroad has issued a
very attractive little book entitled Sub
urban Homes on the West Shore" which
gives complete information regarding
suburban points on their line, and will
be of great assistance to parties looking
for information of this character. The
suburban territory along the West Shore
is unquestionably equal to that of any
in the vicinity of New York City, and
the remarkable growth and development
of the suburban villages along the West
Shore within the past two or three years
is evidence that the people of New York
are beginning to appreciate the desira-
bility of this section.
