THE PRESENT CRISIS

The present state Of the church and world
ia one of fagitation and conflict. The quietude
of former years is broken, and the ancient
order OF things is disturbed. Many pretended
reformeps have arisen, who have discovered
new remedies for the evils under which the
world groans. Human society is wrongly
constituted. Old organizations must be dis
solved, and new ones formed.
Mistaken dreamers. 1t is not reorganiza-
ton, but regeneration that society needs The
Holy Spirit must operate upon the hearts OF
men rs in revival Of religion. What else
will heal dissensions and animositles among
brethren? What else will make the church
Of one heart and one mind? What other agent
will reclaim backsliders and restore wander
ers to the fold OF Christ? Who but the Al
mighty Spirit. can impress truth effectually
upon the young and old? All other agencies
without this must fail. Revivals OF religion
are the worlds last hope.
Beloved reader, the revival intelligence that
we send you from week to week through the
columns of our journal, should lead you to
great searchings OF heart. Why is the LORD
angry with you? Why has he taken his Holy
Spirit from you? What witness does your
conscience beari ALIAS, alas have made
my Saviour bleed afresh my covenant VOWS
have violated. Guilty, heart-relentlng' al
my Saviours feet I fall
Go then to the cross. Remember from
whence thou hast fallen; repent, and GO tiny
first work Let thine own heart be espoused
TO thy Saviour anew. Do this, and God will
revive his work afresh, and trophies ofvlctor-
ious grace will be multiplied.

feshy portion, not at all palmate
Here We have already we'll modified
fms; they are no longer capable Of
acting on the water, and must per
form nothing but backward and for.
ward motions. But the ventral fins
are still further transformed. They
stand out laterally, and first turn
downward and then bend upward and
outward, forming true articulation.
They terminate in wide and feshy
paddle.
These are very different from the
same fins in other fishes. We have
here the formation of true limb, that
naturally cannot serve for swimming,
but only for walking, after the man.
ner of toads, which move scarcely
anything but the foot and leg, the
thigh remaining closely applied to the
body and nearly motionless.
Finally, one popularity which well
shows that the animal is destined fo1
crawling is the form of the. anal fin,
which, instead of bsing protuberant
and Aattened laterally, is here adher
ent to the tail and hattened vertically,
so as to resemble q small, elongated
and concave blade. This is, we be-
lieve, one of the rare examples of the
adaptation of the anal fin.
We may clearly see that all the ar
rangements conspire to the same end,
j. e., to prepare organs primitively
adapted to swimming for very differ
ent function. The differentiation does
not attain a very high degree, but it
is clearly indicated. 1t would be very
interesting to examine these paws
from the standpoint of osteology.

that 80 much discussed question ofthe

Peruvian and Mexican Agriculture.
The ancient Peruvians and Mexicsna
must have had wonderful amount of
patient industry to carry on agrieul-
ture IN the way they did. The great
drawback they suffered from was tha
same under which We labor, viz, the
weather, only their complaint was ths
went of rain. To provide against this,
at immense trouble they erected splen-
did aqueducts from the high lands for
the purpose of irrigation, each msn
being allowed a certain amount OF
water, which was to be used for irrigsr
tion purposes only. In many places
where it was so rocky and steep that
cultivation was impossible, the natives
built terraces, the bottom terrace be-
ing, say, thirty feet broad, the higher
only about ten feet; these terraces, in
many cases, had to be supplied with
earth before cultivation was possible
Another point which was strongly
marked was the way in which they
treated the old and infrm, all their
ground having to be titled by the
others before they touched their OWL
They valued the "guano" of that dis
trict every bit as much as We do. The
islands were strictly preserved, any
one killing the birds or disturbing
them in the breeding season being
punished by death. American Farmer.

PERSONAL EFFORT OF PASTORS.

A pastors wife addresses note to one OF
US, asking that we will urge upon ministers
.he duty and desirablepGss at this moment
ofmaking frequent pastoral visits in the fami-
lies of their people. She assures ust that con-
gregations where no special evidences are
furnished that the Holy Spirit IS moving
with power. many individuals are seriously
impressed with sense If the value OF the
soul and the necessity OF seeking its saliva
ton, but they are deferred from making
known their feelings. Beside, it is impos..
sible for pastor to know the actual state OF
feeling among his people. unless he makes
inquiry as to their spiritual condition.
These suggestions are timely and jud1ciousS
and we do not doubt they will so commend
themselves. There are very few. even though
their minds may be seriously exercised, who
have the moral courage to come to their pas
tors house and disclose their feelings to him,
who, If he were 10 visit them, would open
their minds freely to him. and we should be
glad to know that in all our churches the
most efficient means are in progress to bring.

Never Defeated.

The number of great generals who
were never defeated in battle is very
small Even Julius Caesar, one OF
the most fortunate of generals, was
defeated at Gergovia and in one OF
his minor engagements with Pompey.
Among the ancients, Alexander the
Great was uniformly successful, and
nu defeat is known in the career OF
either Sulla Or Scipio Africanus after
they had become commanders. Sew.
eral generals of modern times have
earned this distinction. Oliver Crom-
well was victorious from his first en-
gagement at 0rantham to his final
victory at Worcester. The great
Duke of Marlborough never failed to
win in every battle and every siege.
The Duke of Wellington was equally
successfully. Among contemporary
commanders may be mentioned the
names of Count Won Moltke and Wis
count Wolseley.--New York Dispatch.

The Table Fork.

The common table fork was wholly
unknown to the ancients, nothing re.
sembling such implements having been
found by explorers in any of the an.
cient ruins. They were probably first
used by the Italians about the end of
the fifteenth century. At first they
had only two prongs or tines, and
were always made of iron. At pres.
ent they have two, three, four. five
and even six prongs, and are made OF
every known maleable metal. The old
est known carving fork is still pre-
served in the Castle Pau. 1t tformerly
belonged to Henry w., of France.
Coryates "Book of Crudities, pub,
lished in 1911, makes the first distinct
mention of the use of forks. Speak
ing of his travels in Italy, he says: 81
observed custom in the italian cities
through which I passed that is not
used in any .other country through
which travelled.
"They do always when at their meals
use little fork when they cut their
meats. This form of feeding under
stand is general throughout the King
dom, both among natives and strang-
ers dwelling in those parts. st.

RELIGIOUS READING.
SACRED SINGING.

Sacred singing is mentioned ~ Paul and
James as q divinely appointed means OF sus-
tanning devotional frame Of mind. speak
ing to yourselves in psalms and hymns anu
spiritual songs, singing and makng meiody
in your hearts to the Lord" There are times
when singing or listening to the singing Oh
sacred psalms and hymns is one OF the most
effectual means within our reach OF enabhng
the Christian to hold on his course and resist
temptation. One of these undoubtedly is,
when the soul is unusually elevated by the
Spirit Of God. 1t is the peculiar province OF
sacred poetry and sacred singing, to lend their
aid in giving expression to these higher emo
tions Of the soul; in leading it up the steps
that were inaccessible before, and bearing 1t,
as on angelic wings, to the regions OF bliss
above. How much comfort has the plous
Watts afforded Christians by his lnimltaple
poetry. How many saints have goneto heaven
with his lines upon their lips. soothed ana
cheered in entering the dark veil between,
with the strains of sacred melody.
Nor Is singing to be confined to the season
of unusual elevation. 1t may be employed
when we feel the Want of that elevation, and
as means OF securing it. Singing with ones
own voice has powerful tendency to direct
our thoughts and emotions into the same
channel with the sentiments we sing. Sacred
singing may be properly employed, also, 10

door. Welcome it to your social circles. to
your firesides, your closets and your hearts.
And still another important end may be
gained by the course commanded by the ap-
ostle. There are many Christians, especially
young Christians. who feel the need OF oc-
casionslly unbending their minds from severe
thinking and reading, and allowing course
of JOYOUS and free action. And here is a
strong temptation offered to engage the Chris
tian in "foolish talking and iesting.' which
Paul says are ''not convenient" or unbecom-
ing, or of running the giddy round OF the
numerous iolIies OF an Unthinking world.
Sacred singing meets this desire ofthe young
Christian: 1t comes to his relief, and teaches
him that religion is not wanting in any solid
good or substantial joy which his nature

for flying and swimming. and there
are others that are truly walkers. We
may mention the maltha, Brazilian
fish, which most certainly attalns the
highest degree of differentiation in
this direction. We have had speci-
men of it in our hands which came
from Bahia, and we profit by it to
call attention to the most curious Pc
culiarities that it exhibits. In the &C.
companying engraving one of the
figures gives view of the ventral
side and the other profile view, both
reduced about one-third.
It is fish which cannot swim, but
is forced by its very organization to
walk, or perhaps, to hop after the
manner OF toads, of which it has
vaguely the external form. The hesd,
which is very large, is provided at its
anterior part with bony spine, at
the base of which are situated the
nasal apertures. The bronchial cri-
fees are small apertures situated
wholly in the dorsal surface, as in the
callionymes; so that the water can re.
main for long time in the bronchial
