In the view of those Italians who have

Medicis Pope Paul VI, and having fallen

though the imprisonment be as in this
case a voluntary one. There is d power
even behind the papaf throne, the power
of the Jesllits, and there seems to be little
doubt that if Leo XIII. Were in reality
what his title "Pontifex MaXimus'' would
imply, he would have long ago left Rome
But this would not suit the policy of the
Vatican, and if it be a fiction that he is
a prisoner through any intimidation from
the Italian government, it is a fact that
he is so through the policy of the Clerical
party. In 1889, at the time when a statue
was erected to Giordano Bruno. Leo

it an indignity which the head of the
church could not brook, that a monument

We quote the following from the Chris
tan Herald: 1.-The mistake many preach
ers make, writes an esteemed pastor
is in preaching to adults only, as though
no children were present 1t is not
strange that that kind of preaching fails
to reach children and to secure their reg
ular attendance at the services of the
church. A minister was once wondering
how he could reach the large number OF
children in the homes of his people
How am / to get them all interested in
the church, he said. I seldom see them
at the preaching services, and never at
prayer meeting AS a rule the children
do not attend these services. Parents do
not require it, because the minister sell
dom takes thought of the children in his
sermons, and only breaches to the older
ones" This we believe is a very urgent
reason why it is so difficult to get chill

religious service outside the sabbath

Skilled Labor For Christ.

Skilled labor is a condition of progress
everywhere, and the church is no excep-
ton The activity of the human mind is
the spring of advancing civilization, and
it is Christianity that has quickened the
intellect by bringing it under the sway of
an awakened conscience. Skill is really a
power of the mind more than the mus

must precede readiness and precision in
manipulation. 1t was the mental labor

The Gospel of the English Language

AS the universal dominion OF Rome
over the nations of antiquity was very
material aid to the preaching OF the gos-
pei to all people by Jesus and His apos-
ties, SO it would appear that the general
diffusion of the English language in these
latter days is to become an equally pO-
tent factor in the dissemination of the
gospel to all people.
at the recent national cooc-~cs in IN
dia there were gathered at Madras some
seven hundred delegates IRON all parts
OF India, Afghauistan, Nepaul ard Scinde.
They spoke nine different native Language
es. but the English was the only medium
through which the proceedings could be
satisfactorily conducted. This is a stril<-
ing illustration of the wide diffusion of
that tongue. English has been so widely
spread by England's colonial enterprises
that it promises to become the nnissiona-
ry language of the world. Even In Java,
where England has no control, the knowl-
edge of English is steadily growing"
