Messrs. Thomson and Gamble spoke
few words Of farewell aud indicated
their appreciation of the cooperation
extended and good will manifested by
the pastor and people and asked for
their prayers for the work that they
will begin at Mitchell tonight.
The Christian people who have en-
gagged in the revival during the past
three weeks feel that the m, etings have
been very profitable, not only from the
fact that a plumber of unconverted
were induced to start in the new life,
but that the churches have received
wonderful uplifts in spiritual things,
and press the various lines of church
work with renewed vigor and hopeful
ness. They all feel that the visit Of
the evangelists has been a source of
great encouragement and inspiration. :"

To THOSE CAUGHT IN A THUNDER
sToRM.-Professor Arthur Sehuster de-
livered at the Royal Institution, in Lon
don, the other evening, an interesting
lecture on Atmospheric Electricity y
dealing chiefly with thunderstorms and
the aurora borealis. He mentioned as
a remarkable fact that a thundercloud
could not cross a river. Most Of us
knew of the danger of standing under
trees in thunderstorm, but science
took us further and proved that oak
trees were more dangerous than beech
trees, owing, probably, to the large
amount of oil contained in the latter
It was also safe plan to get wet, but
the wetting ought to be thorough; for
traveller who took the precaution to
have dry feet, on receiving a lightning
shock, had his stockings burnt.

SKIES AT THE CRUCIFTXIoN.

II some astronomical calculations re
Gently made may be telived, the plan
cts which gravitate around the sur
will this month, about Easter time, be
in relatively the SAME position in the
heavens as they were iii tie spring 30
A. D., which is the year Jesus Christ is
generally supposed to have been cruel
| fed and to have risen from the dead
Not since that time has this coinci'
dence recurre0.
Each of the heavenly bodies has its
own time for making revolution
around the sun, and these times diff, I
widely. The earth, as everybody
knows, goes around once every year.
Mercury takes but quarter of this
time, while Saturn is employed for
nearly thirty years in making circuit
of the path laid out for him. Conse-
quently, in all these hundreds of years,
they have never yet moved into the
same positions which they occupied in
the month of April, 80, A. ID. Neither
are they expected by astronomers to
be in exactly the same positions as
they were then, for the attraction OF
other planets and the sun has caused
vari ,tions in their respective cycles
during these eighteen centuries. 1t is
for this reason that the recurrence of a
similar condition of the skies pos
sesses no scientific interest to
the astronomer But to the millions
of christian people all over the
world it is q very important co
incidence that they should sec, during
the Holy Week of this year, tbs feav-
enly bodies almost as they were when
Christ looked up to them nightly in the
rapid succession ofevents which mark
ed the fortnight preceding His crucifc-
ton. .z.-...
That the last year which Christ
spent upon earth was really the year
%, a. D., is question which is not
settled. 1t an each of the four years
succeeding it have been ramed by bib
lical scholars who have compared the
chronology of events mentioned in the
New Testament with the dates ss CIV
en- in Josephus and the best Roman his
torians. Christ is supposed to have
been thirty-three years old when His
life upon earth was ended. This would
naturally seem to make His crucifxion
occur in the thirty-third year of what
is called the Christian era. But the
Christian era was first invented five
hundred wears after His death by a
learned monk called Dionysius Ex-
iguus, and it is now admitted that its
inventor made an error in his calcula-
ton of at least four years, and that the
birth of Christ really occurred in the
year which is now called 4, G. This
would make %, A. D., the most prob
able date of His cruciiXion. But
the Encyclopedia Britannica and a
number of German scholars favor 80,
A. D., and this would make Eastertide
of next year, and not this year, the
date at which the similar position OF
the planets can be recalled. .
