A case Of great interest TO the Evangelical
Association has Just been decided by the
Circuit Court of Ohio at Cleveland The case
involved the legality Of the two General Con-
ferences held in the name of the Evangelical
Association in October last; the one at Phila-
delpha by the mnOritysand the one at Indian
ap0ls by the majority. The court in its de-
cisiOu, Just rendered, holds that the General
Conference at Indianapolis, representing the
majority was the legal conference OF the
Evangelical Association, and that the officers
elected by il are the officers OF the denOmina-
tion. An appeal is to be taken, we believe,
from the decision of the Circuit Court to the
Supreme Court

Apropos Of Father Young's elicit and lauda-
bic lotteries" a correspondent quotes from
the "Travels in America Of the Duke de la
Rochefoucaut Liancourt'
MAY, 1913. The legislative authority
granted a lottery TO raise a sum of four hum
dred thousand dollars, intended for the exc
cution Of all practicable plans OF inland nayi-
CATION, one hundred and thirty-three thousand
dollars of which are to be appropriated TO the
completion of the Schuylkill canal.
'If the measure OF state lottery can ever
be justified by the vast utility of the object 10
which the money it produces is applied. it
certainly is SO in the present instance.
Can the Legislature OF lthnsNlNduld matter

corruption and immortality Of the inhabitants
by an establishment so extremely dangerous,
and OF which very mmOderate use has
already been made in America"
1t may he fair TO assume that an institution
against which the moral sense OF French
n0bleman revolted, century ago, is not
upheld by 1.-THE mOralists."

young girls as teachers, it is absolutely denied
that such preference appears, ana mere is
no great proportion of young ladies' among
the teachers. many men and elderly women

lady teachers is no more opposed to the IDEAS
Of the Chinese than many other customs IN
