Crime Unpunished.

1t is with sense of great gratilica-
ton that every good citizen of this
country witnesses the general awaken
ing of the whole people to a full sense
of the necessity fiji sweeping reform
III the penal statutes of the several
Southern and Weastern States. 1t is
not that these are the only States in
which a pressing need for such re-
form exists. But because these are
the States In which we are most
nearly and vitally interested That
such an awakening as we have allud-
ed to above, Is daily taking place, be-
comes momentarily clearer, to every
thinking mind. The necessity there
fore is continually being demonstrate
ed under the eyes of the people
themselves and articles calling their
further attention to the fact I'LL col
umns in the great newspapers of the
country each day.
That it is the law itself that re.
.quires reformation, rather than the
lawyers or the courts, no SENSIBLE
mind can doubt and too that there is
one species of crime more than all
others combined which has been per-
mitted to overrun and impure the en-
tire country is only too well known.
The crime Of murder, the reckless and
often wholly unjustiflable and mex
cusable taking of human life, has done
more to stain the fair name Of our
common country than all other evil
deeds combined, and that too without
even the ghost of elequate prnish.

The Church Is Progressing.

The church is not going backward,
Its prosperity is measured better by
spiritual than material results, but 1t
is nevertheless interesting to know
that church property in the United
States has increased 621 per cent with
in forty years. In 1850 IL amounted
to 100000. In 1890 IL had reach
ed $631, 100000. If to this Is added
the immense property Of christian in
stitutions, such as hospitals, colleges,
publishing houses and the like, some
conception may be derived of the i'm

Topic For the Week Beginning june Is.
Comment by Rev. $. II. Doyle.
ToPIo.-Missionary meeting Nal. iii, liz.
In the latter part of the Scripture les
son chosen to illustrate our topic wesee
the children of Israel reproved by the
prophet for corrupting Gods ordinances
and sacrilegiously robbing him of his
dues, with command to them to mend
their ways and promise that if they
Sid God would again deal beautifully
with them and richly prosper them.
This passage is therefore particularly ap-
propriate for missionary meeting, as it
deals with the subject both from a mega
tive and positive side. 1t depicts the
evil consequences of an unmissionary
spirit and draws an encouraging picture
of a missionary spirit.
/. An unmissionary spirit and its CON
sequences (Mal. iii, TO. Here Malachi
charges the Jews with robbing God by
withholding his tithes and offerings.
They did not pay the Levites and the
priests. They did not in full and of the
best make their offerings to God. The
result was that God cursed them by
sending scarcity and famine upon them.
These Jews well represent the Christian
people today who have no missionary
spirit. God commands them to preach
the gospel to all nations. To do so they
must give of their means, but they with
hold their gifts altogether, or they only
give an Insignificant part of what they
are able to give. In so doing they are
robbing God, because their wealth comes
from Him and really belongs to Him.
Therefore they may expect Gods dis
pleasure upon them as it was upon the
Jews of old. They may still hear the
voice of God saying unto them, "Ye are
cursed with curse, for we have robbed
Me-" Let all Endeavorers avoid an un-
missionary spirit. Let all flee the evil
consequences of those who are selfish and
misery in their dealings with God.
2. A missionary spirit and its conse-
quences (Mal. iii, 10-12) But God does
not abandon His backsliding people. he
SdllS upO1 tIelu W IttuIn anu OuCt more
to give Him His dues, and once more He
will bless them and prosper them album
dainty. Bring We all the tithes into the
storehouse, that there may be meat in
Mine house, and prove Me now herewith,
saith the Lord of hosts, if will not open
you the windows of heaven and pour you
opt blessing that there shall not be room
enough to receive it." This is Gods
gracious promise. 1t was made to the
Jews who withheld their money from
Gods work. 1t is still made to all who
have been slack in their giving to his
work. A true missionary spirit is a
blessing to us. 1t brings Gods richest
blessing upon us, and noone is the poorer
for giving literally to God. It causes
us to bless for all eternity the unfortu-
mates who have never heard of Christ.
1t fills their hearts with love and graft
tude toward us.
