A III, YING VISIT.

A FLYING VISIT.
In the February number of the
Kurn Hattin Homes the editor, Rev.
E. T. Pitts, describes his recent visit
to Caledonia county as follows:
The evening OF January 23d we
fired off a double. barrel gun; viz. in
the Baptist and the Free Baptist
churches of st. ohnsbury. Our aim
was necessarily hasty, but we trust
we did a little execution that will
eventuate in benefit to the Home.
McIndoes Falls gave us hearing
the evening Of the Oath. Our SUBJ
scription list was materially in
creased among these good people.
Sunday, January 81, we spoke in
the North and South Congregation
al churches of St. Johnsbury, morn
ing and evening, respectively. If the
warm-hearted pastors of these
churches are any criterion by which
to judge, we shall get good deal of
help from the Congregational people
Of that beautiful and benevolent vii
lage.
January %, we slipped into the
growing town of Hardwick, on the
line of the st. Johnsbury and the
Lake Champlain railroad. A new
Congregational church has been
formed here under the efficient super
intendence of Rev. +. F. Lewis of
Burlington. The church has been
worshipping in the Academy hall,
but in the spring will erect FIVE
thousand.d dollar. church edi6ce.

A SUCCESSFUL PASTOR.

4 The many friends of Rev. c. M.
Carpenter Of Cambridge, Mass, a
former resident Of this town, will be
interested to know ofhis success as
a speaker at the religious gatherings.
He addressed recently Christian
Endeavor convention at Maiden and
was one of the speakers at the Bos.
ton ministers meeting on one Of the
Mondays in January. At the latter
place she spoke from the standpoint
of business man, having been one
before entering the ministry"
| At the third annual meeting of the
Congregational club in Cambridge,
Mr.. Carpenter opened the discussion
of the evening by reading paper
which was highly applauded at its
conclusion.
I His subject was, "Are the methods
of the churches now in vogue for the
quickening of the spiritual life of the
members and the winning of men to
a Christian life, adequate to the
needs of our times ?" Mr.. Carpenter
began by carefully defining the term
methods, which he said meant the
life and work OF our church. OF
course, the work of the different
churches in different localities must
be entirely different just as the work
and life OF different individuals varies
great deal. Mr.. Carpenter then
gave some most interesting statistics
concerning the work of the Congre-
gational churches in Cambridge
during the past year. There are at
present 5S7 churches of this dem oni-
nation in the state of Massachusetts
of which only eight were organized
during the year. Of these there are
267 which have regularly installed
pastors and 203 have acting pastors,
q are supplied while 80 churches are
without supply of any kind what
ever. Does this indicate that our
church life is running at too high a
mark since only eight new churches
have been organized during the year?
Again is it a good sign that Sunday
school superintendent have such
hard work to get teachers Turn
ing again to his statistics he said the
average number OF additions to the
church was only six each-a number
which seemed rather small consider.
ing all the machinery and energy
now in operation. tits the churches
in the sparsely populated districts
which are IN most need of help; they
are running down fast.
Looking at the results of our work
we cannot help asking if there has
not been some great mistake in our
methods. Why are the churches
closed for the greater part of the
week Is not this great mistake
in our management? The churches
in many other countries are open al
ways. Why are ours closed?
The scholars in the Sunday school
study the quarterly great deal but
not the Bible This is not what
it ought to be. Everyone should bt
familiar with the holy writ. Mr.
Carpenter suggested that we neet
in the churches good, earnest mer
who will remain in the church anC
act as pastors evangelistic.

Gentiles could state, with any certainty
OF being accurate, what THE Talmud" isY
DIR. Deutsch explains that the Talmud is
the work which embodies the civil and
canonIcal law OF the Jewish people; that it
consists OF the Mishnah or text, and the
commentary or Gemara that It's contents
have reference not merely to religion, but
also TO philosophy, medicine, history iu-
risprudence and the various branches of
practical duty. 1t is, in fact, law civil
and criminal, national and International,
human and divine, forming a sort of sup
plement to the Pentateuch--a supplement-
which it took 1000 years of a nations life
to produce. 1t abounds in expositions of
the law and of life-in romance and in
poetry. Parable, tale, saga, tradition, all
have place in this book. In the whole
realm OF learning, DR.. Deutsch declares,
there is scarcely q single branch of study
to be compared for it's difficulty to the
Talmud.
The work under consideration gives an
interesting account of the perils that have
from time to time threatened the Talmud's
very existence. A fierce storm of dogma
tism has ever ragged around it. For thou
sand years both the secular and the spirit
ual powers-Kings and Emperors, Popes
and anti-Popes-vied with each other in
hurting anathemas and bulls and edicts of
wholesale contiscation and confederation
against that luckless book. During the
latter half of the sixteenth century It was
publicly burned no less than six times.
and then not in single copies but by the
wagon load. This compilation from DIR.
Deutsch' S notes is exceedingly interesting,
inasmuch as while it cannot In the verv
nature of this age and generation incite to
systematic study of the Talmud, it gives a
large amount of information regarding
very suggestive and fascinating subject.

THE FRUIT INTERESTS,
Horticultural Commissioners
Want to Move to the
City Hall.
A Plan Suggested for Carrying On
the Bureau for the Next
Two Years.

The matter Of keeping the California
State Board of Horticulture running for
the next two years is worrying the Com
missioners at present. This was one of
the commissions that Governor Budd hit
hard by vetoing a bill appropriating money
for its maintenance for the next two years.
He held that the bill really specified two
appropriations and so was illegal.
The horticulturists determined that the
usefulness of the commission should not
be crippled for that length of time for the
want of money, and several orchardists
stated they would pay the current ex-
penses rather than have it go out of exist
ence. However, the idea of putting out
the necessary money seemed hardship
and the Commissioners have been discuss
ing the situation recently to see if the cost
of expenses can be equalized so that the
weight " i'll not fall so heavily upon a few.
One item practically settled was that the
present quarters at 226 Suffer street will
have to be abandoned for cheaper Office.
1t was decided that the Board of Horti-
culture ask the City Hall Commissioners
for temporary quarters in the new CITY
Hall, where their large library, records,
samples and stock can be stored. An
office will also be asked for. A petition to
lniS tltcCt Will Uc uldue 10 Inc ClIy Hall
Commissioners next week.
If their wish is not granted the Horticul-
tural Commissioners will appeal to the
counties for help to meet the expenses of
the Office until the next session of the Leg
islature, when they believe that they will
again receive State support.
Mr.. Filcher of the State Board of Trade
has suggested plan to the horticulturists
which he believes will bridge over the d.
lemma. The Legislature, by special act
passed many years ago, permits the Super
visors of counties to appropriate from SlOOO
to $500 year for the promotion
of agricultural industries and the protec-
ton of orchards and vineyards, also for adj
vertising the resources of their particular
localities. Mr.. Filcher's idea IS for the
Governor to call convention to be COM
posed of delegates from all the county
Boards of Supervisors. The object of such
a gathering would be to have the Super
visors, under the legislative act mentioned.
appropriate few hundred dollars each
from their treasures to keep the Horti-
cultural Commission alive for two wears
and to form nucleus of fund for fine

ton. He said that although the Governor
vetoed the appropriation bill he did so be-
cause it was illegally drawn and not be-
cause he is indifferent to the horticultural
interests OF the State. He would no doubt.

Just what Tolstoi has aimed to convey in

to negotiate for the purchase of a certain

and master and man are overtaken by
binding storm. The character of Vassili
Andreeitch is sKetcheG broadly, as Tolstoi
sketches his men, but every stroke is from
master hand. One sees the shrewd
Russian peasant farmer and store
keeper, a church warden. man
OF affairs in small way, keen
at trade, quick to take advantage,
sufficiently hard with his servants to be
feared as well as liked, master of his house
hold, and proud of his son. He is less
knave than tradesman, but more knave
than fool. The pair lose their way. Twice
they reach by mistake another village
than their objective point. The second
time they push on by moonlight,
regardless OF warnings. The horse wan
ders from the road and they are finally
forced to camp down for the night in the
snow. They blanket the horse and make
beds in the straw of the sledge, wrapping
themselves up to await dawn. The master
rests in the sledge-the man in the snow.
AT midnight the former succum BIS to terror
-unties the horse, mounts him and rides
off. He fears wolves. He fears the death
that turks In cold, and the terror that stalks
by Light. After many adventures the
horse horse travelling in circle, brings him
back to the sledge, and to Nikita.
VINO has clambered in, and is diving.
Then Vassili Andreeitch stretches
himself at full length upon his
dying servant and warns him with his
body and revives him with his breath.
The servant falls asleep, warmed and
eeheered. Passing peasants find the trio in
the morning, the servant warm and alive,
but with his toes frozen. the master and
the horse frozen stiff and dead. Vassili
Andreeltch was lost, when his horse
brought him back to that sledge; but he
was found, and his soul went out in tri-
umph in the night. 1t is strange tale.
and what the reader gathers from it will
depend largely upon what he brings to it.

The Rise of MIS-. Simnson

The author of MRS. Harry st. john
achieved so great success by that book.
he has continued to work in the same line
ever since, and in his latest story, 'The
Rise of Mrs. Simpson," gives US another
picture OF the seamy side of Boston life.
Mrs. Simpson is the young, ambitious and
spoiled darling of self-made millionaire.
who finding for himself sufficient pleasure
in making money, INDUCES his wife in the
unrestrained pleasure of spending it. Her
ambitions are for social success. Her one
desire IS to win an entrance to the exclu-
slye circles OF Boston aristocracy, and to
achieve that she is willing to incur eyery
expense and sacrifice every duty.
The fortunes of business make her hus-
band acquainted with Norton, one of the
leaders of the exclusive set, who, having
lost money in Wall-street speculations
comes to the self-made miIfionaire for
assistance. Through her husbands aid
given to this man, Mrs. Simpson begins
to make her way in society. The husband
arranges Norton's business for him, and
while he is doing so Norton involves Mrs.
Simpson in an intrigue. AS usual ruinous
consequences follow, but in this case it is
not the guilty parties who are ruined. The.
discovery of Norton's treachery causes
Simpson to die from the sudden shock to
a heart already weakened by disease, and
so the one strong, sincere. manly charac-
ter IN the book perishes while the wicked
go on their way rejoicing.
The picture thus given of high society
in Boston is not fattering to those who
compose it. Without exception both the
men and the women of the upper circle
are depicted as proud of nothing except
their social position and given up to vani-
ties and firtations. The author in the
preface defends his book on the ground
that it is q demonstration of the logical
