The New York Churchnaaa (P. e.. dis
cussing the question of parochial vista
ton, remarks: George Herbert, in his
Country Parson,' indicates what was
considered TO be pastoral call in his
day. The parson in circuit ne says,
questions his parishioners about morn
ing and evening prayers. Who can read
and can not? Sometimes he hears the
children read, and sometimes he blesses
them. Those he finds religiously en-
ployed he commends, but those who
have dived deeply into worldly affairs
he admOnishes. Those that he finds idle
or ill employed he chides, and he re-
proves the sinful The parochial calls
OF the present day have little in common
with this spirit. They have little to dis
tlngulsh them from ordinary calls. 1t
is, OF course, pleasing duty for the
rector OF parish to see his people in
their homes, but it must be remembere
that but too often these calls may neces-
sltate the hastily prepared lecture for the
Weekday service, and the no less hastily
written Sunday sermons. The Apostle
Paul exhorts ST.. Timothy to give attend
ance to reading and doctrine as well as to
exhortation. But this can only be done
with needtul leisure. 4 clergyman who
is constantly engaged during the week
IN calling upon people must not be eX-
pected to manifest much fullness Of in
tellect and soul, or to show much careful
preparation when he stands in his pulpit
on Sundays. In a busy and intellectual
age like the present the city rector must
keep his mind well stored and we'll fur
nlshed, and this cannot possibly be done
as long as the laity believe it to be their
pastors first and cnief duty to run from
mouse to house,"
The class system of education which
obtains in the South, by which white and
black children do not mingle in the pub
lie schools, is often denounced in un-
measured terms by Northern orators,'
says the JFutchBtUn (Bapt.) of Boston;
''but in the North we are blind to the fact
that an Objectionable system of class edu-
cation is becoming firmly rooted. In the
great cities the families of wealth and
culture are patronizing private schools
to such an extent that in many wards
the public schools are given over to one
section of the community. For our
selves. we believe in making the public
schools so good that the richest man can
not find elsewhere a more satisfactory
education for his children, so irreproacha-
bic in discipline that the rudest child is
elevated to their standard, and so thor
oughly American that every citizen feels
that his children gain far more than they
can possibly lose by attending them"

THE INCOME TAX.

What is the size of your income? Give US
the figures, pray;
AND dom you be modest about 1t, for shyness
won't do today.
All you who've been ostentatious and living
beyond your means,
90 down to the tax assessor and invite him
behind the scenes.
Where is your cash invested? Open your
Golfers wide
The Bogle-man of the Treasury is standing at
your side
He's noted your yacht and your horses; he's
noticed the way you sup;
And he S going to be mighty careful how you
loot your columns up.
He's been on the ''roof" at the opera, and has
enyled you down in your box,
ana hes always wanted q chance like this to
Whack at the man with stocks.
He's stood by the cafe window and watched
you Iunching within,
And he has a pretty good notion of the size of
your pile OF tin.
He's thought you were going it lively, were
travelling mucn on your shape,
But now he's going to prove it, backed up by
square miles Of red tape
And you Who've been ostentatious must tell
the whole truth to-day.
you've got to admit you're a fraud, sir, or
you've got 10 step up and pay.
SO tell us the size of your income account for
each little red cent
Ih1s terrible cad, the collector knows pretty
well what you have spent;
ana II you think to escape him by making it
small you will fail,
And end, you try to deceive him, in q small
private box at the jail.
