OUR SUNDAY-SCH0OL UNION.

The Sunday School Union of the Methodist
Episcopal Church disburses every year all mon
eys contributed by the church for the establish
ment of Sunday schools at home and abroad,
and for the dissemination of religious literature
in places where it could not be circulated with
out such aid Jesse L. Hurlbut corresponding
secretary, and Robert II. Doherty, recording
secretary, may be addressed at $50 Fifth avenue,
New York.
Here are the statistics of the Sunday S,hool
Union for 1898: We have 2S, $50 schools, $685.
343 officers and teachers and 2 400 874 scholars
This is an increase over the previous year OF 633
schools 1881 officers and teachers, and 40, O92

A touching incident from Copenhagen: AS
one of our missionaries fastened along the street
on an errand of mercy door was opened, and a
fine looking matron of tho true Danish stamp
called to him. He paused moment, and she
overwhelmed him with thanks for the little pa
pers which her children had brought home from
the Methodist Sunday school. II am not q
Methodist myself" she said, Sand possibly
never will be, but love my children, and love
all who love them. Your Sunday. school has
changed my son, and given him loving heart
and the papers he has brought home have led his
father and myself to 60 regularly to our own
church, which for years was neglected by us. !"
That Sunday school was founded and has been
supported by our Union. Without the assist
ance regularly given by the Union { ur Missions
res, in Denmark and elsewhere, would be with
out the religious literature which has proved to
be 80 effective and helpfal messenger Of the
gospel.
"God bless the Sunday. School Union, " writes
missionary from Madras. "You don't know
how much good you do. II you could only see
our Sunday school, perhaps you would come
nearer knowing. It meets in the open air. when
the weather permits, in the shadow of splendid

WE have somewhere met with quaint but
exhaustive classification of mankind in respect
to Christ namely: Believers half believers,
believers, and unbelievers. Half ,believers
have existed all along the history of tho church,
and they throng our churches to day, and they
make up the majority Of disciples now, as they
did in the days OF the Son of Man-Dr. Daniel

COL. HAMS TALKS.
In Regard to the Reported Removal to
Portsin outh.

A despatch from Washington yesterday
morning to the effect that it was proposed
at headquarters to remove the U United
States engineers office from this city to
Portsmouth and that Col. Peter C. Hams
was actively engaged in bringing this
change about, occasioned a good de al of
comment.
Col. Hams was seen at his Office yesterday
by PRESS representative and made the
statement that in regard to the first part of
the dispatch he knew nothing. No mention
had been made to him of such change. AS
to the last part he could assert that any
statement that he, either actively or
passiy ely, had exerted any influence to re-
move the office to Portsmouth. was without
foundation.
Portland is the right place for the
Office, ".said he, land the idea of moving it
to Portsmouth seemed to him absurd
