prising to Mr.. Raikes perhaps than the
magnitude of the work and the charac-
ter of the men engaged upon it would
have been the fact that none came near
er to being an Englishman than the two
Canadian members - Rev. DR.. John
Potts of the Victoria university. at To-
ronto, and Hon. S. II. Blake, a Dominion
lawyer-and that all the others. a bak-

the republic founded by the american
rebels" whose fight for independence
began four years before 1880, the date of
the first Raikes schools, came to be
known, four years later, when it was
successfully concluded, as the worlds
greatest revolution. But though the
committee is so strongly American its
work before it can be finally adopted
and given to the world must be revised
by a committee of Englishmen, which
will meet in London a few months
hence. It is not likely, however. that
this London committee will recommend
any serious changes.
An even dozen members of the COM

three absentees. These were Mr.. Blake,

widely differing views were presented
by different persons, and it may be add

ed enthusiasm soon made itself felt His
wife, who shared his views, shared his
activity as well. They began their labors
at Naples. 1t was then, even more than
now, in Europe most unusual thing for
woman to engage in such public reli-
giOus exercises as the conduct of Sun
day school. Mrs. Woodruff soon over
came the objections made to her taking
part in the exercises in Naples. but at
Munich it was not so easy to do away
with old world prejudices.
At Heidelberg, however, banker
named Brockelnann joined his fortune
and his efforts to those of the Woodruffs
and for quarter of century expended
largely of his time and his money in the
establishment of Sunday schools through
out Germany. For two or three years
he went about the country in the capaci-
ty of an interpreter for Mr.. and Mrs.
Woodruff. - At Berlin Pastor Prochnow,
the court preacher; DR.. Hoffman,; Haupt,
the organist, and Marx, the singer, in
dorsed the movement, and of course
their cooperation lent great strength
thereto. American Sunday school music
had never been heard in Germany until
introduced by the Woodruffs, and it met
with great opposition, more than once
being characterized by Teutonic Chris
tians, who seemed to think religion
should be made as lugubrious as posi-
BILE. as only fit to be heard in beer halls.
In 1877 the work that had been started
by Mr.. and Mrs. Woodruff bore fruit in
the establishment of the Foreign Sunday
School association. Under its auspices
many thousands of publications have
been issued in about score of languages
and dialects. These publications include
periodicals for children printed in Span
ish, French, Portuguese, Italian and Jap
anese.
A most important part of the work of
the association has been the formation
of schools among soldiers and their fam
lies. These schools are scattered over
large part of Europe and are to be found
even in such remote parts of the globe as
India and Madagascar, so far has the work
of the association extended. 1t is not
claimed, of course, that this society is the
sole agency that has been instrumental in
the roofing and grounding of the Sunday
school idea in the old world. Its mem
beers recognize and work in perfect har-
mony with the continental committee of
the London Sunday School union and
other missionary societies. but that the
association is among the most potent of
factors in foreign Sunday school work
there can be no doubt.

REALLY the most serious SANDER sent
out of this state in the past three years
is the statement made by Labor Commis-
sioner Todd that farming doesn't pay IN
Kansas. This statement over the signature

harm back east where the people do not
know that the official is prejudiced by
his politics Besides, the statement isn't
true. Some kinds of farming may not
pay, but there are too many instances all
around US where it has paid to make
such sweeping assertions. One can over
look the petty squabbles and fsticuffs
into which Todd has become involved,
but the state ought not to be compelled to
endure the PRONUNCIATION of such reports
about her resources from official sources.
Gov. Lewelling appointed Todd and re-
tains him in office. In that measure he
is responsible.

If Topeka did not have to support
such a large police force, the asphalt
streets might be repaired. It is very
likely that with half the number of po-
licemen just as many tramps and DRINKS

would the. people prefer fewer police
and better streets or not The chances
are that popular vote would reduce the
police force. But our modern system of
municipal government succeeds pretty
well In preventing the people from put
ting their wishes into action. One of
these days when we have plebiscites and
initiatives and referendums and so forth,
all the stupid obstacles in the way of the
people doing what they want to do, will
be removed. In the meantime we must

THE women all over the country are
interested in the Kansas campaign for
woman suffrage. Money is being raised
by the Lucy Stone memorial fund for
campaign purposes. The rather lengthy
title of this fund is: EsThe Lucy Stone
Birthday Memorial Fund for the Kansas
campaign" The object is that every
woman interested in woman suffrage
shall put cent day into the fund un-
til August 18th, which is Lucy Stones
birthday. For this purpose boxes are
furnished, bearing on one side a picture
of Lucy Stone; their cost is cents each.
1t is part of the plan, of course, to have
them all opened on Lucy Stones birth
day, at a memorial meeting of the woman
suffrage association in each locality, the
fund thus collected to be sent to the
treasurer of the National American
woman suffrage association, Mrs Harriet
Taylor Upton, Warren, Ohio, by check,
indicating to Mrs. Upton that the remit
lance is for the Lucy Stone memorial
fund for Kansas.

Ro1mania, Greece, Macedonia, Monte
negro, Turkey and Russia are almost
without Sunday schools.
There seems to be little doubt in the
minds of any that the unihcation of the
lessons has been of immense benefit to
the movement for extending the useful
ness of the Sunday school. The interna-
tiona1 lesson series was adopted in 1872
at the Indianapolis convention for the
United States, the Canadian Sunday
schools came in three years later, and in
1889 the plan was universally adopted.
Though DR.. NOW Bishop Vincent is the
man to whom the idea first seemed feast
BILE and DR.. Eggleston showed its prac-
ticability, it was Mr.. Jacobs who pushed
it to adoption, and he is, therefore, and
quite naturally, very popular among
men who are at the top among Sunday
school workers. This was shown by his
election at the worlds Sunday school
convention held in st. Louis last year to
the high Office of president, an honor
which Mr.. Jacobs, who is as modest as
he is efficient, accepted with manifest re-
luctance. 1t seems a little singular that
America, a wilderness peopled only by
wild beasts and pagan savages for CEN
turtles after all Europe had been Chris
tanned, should lead so tremendously, so
far as the Sunday school, unquestion-
ably the strongest auxiliary to the
church, is concerned. In fact, although
there were Sunday schools on the CONT
nent before that year, it was not till
1856 that any definite move to extend
and systematic them was entered upon,
and it was Albert Woodruff, an Amer
lean and native OF Massachusetts,, who
inaugurated the movement. 1t was in
Paris that he began. He was taking
holiday trip through Europe and was
much cast down by the dissertation of
the Lords day in the gay French capt.
tai. On bordering upon the matter he
became convinced that the first day of
the week could best be redeemed to
Christian uses in Europe by the estab-
1ishment of Sunday schools.
Mr.. Woodruff's first move was to SO
cure supply of American Sunday
school music. Then he enlisted the sym
pathy of a number of pastors and lay
men, and in half a year six Sunday
schools had been successfully organized
on the American plan. A committee for
the formation of similar schools through
out France was got together, and Rev.
H. Paumier was made its chairman.
Rev. J. 7. Cook was the first Sunday
school missionary in Europe, the field of
his labors taking In Switzerland and
southern France.
Mr. Woodruff became so greatly i'm
pressed by the success of the movement
in France that in 1860 he determined to
give up his business and devote his for
tune and the remainder of his life to the
work. BY 1852 he was again on the other
side of the Atlantic, where his unbound
