Happy Result OF Economy on the Part Of
tho American Board

Happy Result of Economy on the Part Of
tho American Board.
Boston. Sept. 16.-The financial state-
ment from the treasurer OF the Ameri-
can Board shows that for the first time
since Aug. 81. 1892. the Board has been
able to close its business year without
debt. This is considered very gratify-
ing, In view Of the extreme business de-
preston throughout the country and the
fact that the year began with z heavy
debt.
The churches and individuals Of the
Boards constituency have cot only
rallied generously to remove the debt,
but have contributed to the current exc
penses sufficiently to overcome q con-
siderable shrinkage in legacies. Costly
retrenchment on mission fields and ex-
treme economy in administrator have
been necessary, ana are said to inspire
new confidence in the financial manage
ment Of the Board.
The total receipts for the year have
been 4s,104.59; ana the total expendi-
lures s627 ,s695s: leaving q balance Of
s115. .l35.O1. Deducting from this the debt
of a year ago, s114.6a2.3s. q balance II
left in the treasury at the close cf this
year of s502.63. The total receipts from
regular donations. from donations for
special objects and from legacies last
year were $619. .Se7.31; this year $751;
70s.77. The receipts for the debt and In
terest on permanent funds. etc.. amount
to $155. 1862, making the total receipts
from all sources $7t3, 3,1o469.
In addition to the above ana aside
from all receipts for the work Of the
Board. s130,o35.ss have been Forwarded
for Armenian relief, and more than $780,
900 for Armenians In Turkey from Ar
menian friends ana relatives In this
country.

LoNooN's PUBLIC HOUSES.
Women Drink at the Bar just Uncon

Women Drink at the Bar just rs Uncon-
cernedly as the Men.
The two parishes of Bethnals Green and
Shoreditch have few churches and ten
times as many public houses. The public
houses explain great many Of the miser-
les Of tho miserable locality. There may be
some tectotalers there but there are not
many, and there are almost as few drink
ers who are always moderate In their liba-
tions. The curse Of bitter beer, raw Scotch
whisky and "tupenny' gin rests heavy
on the place. Public opinion is no weapon
against 1t, for public opinion openly favors
drinking whenever one has the necessary
money and does not regard actual drunk
enness as disgrace worth mentioning.
Women drink at the bars as uncon-
cernedly as men do, and barmaids servo
them. The barroom Is the gossip place,
and babes and small children are carried
to 1t and kept In 1t by careful mothers
who gather there for the days necessary
talk. Infants sometimes cry and at such
times are permitted a sip from the mg.
ternal glass, quite as other children are
bribed with chocolate drops. Thus blear
eyes and drink Redeemed faces often have
early beginnings. The children on the
streets are dirty ragged and vociferously
happy over small things. Adults are not
genuinely happy. There is no reason why
they should be. They derive much spas
modic merriment from the public houses.
Drunkenness and fighting are common
everywhere, especially on the streets Dur
Ing one noon recess saw three fights de-
velop among the two dozen employees of a
box factory. Nor are the combatants al
ways men or boys. Edward Marshall In

That's nothing at oil. The Vanderbilt

Some chapters issue o "local organ,

more if it was seriously attempted. 1t
will be helpful in more departments
than the literary. But, whether a So
ciety has paper of its own or not, the
members as far as possible should pat
ronize the church papers. No one can
be really intelligent member and keep
abreast of the times who does not take
and read the religious paper of his own
denomination.
The Texas Leagues of the church

and expenses of a missionary to China
and are well along in raising like

How 70 Grow Aquatic Plants.

The cultivation Of aquatic plants in tubs
makes it possible for any one to try his
skill with them. OF course he need not
expect to be able to grow the rarer sorts Of
nymphma, but he can succeed with many
beautiful varieties of water lily and other
plants Of that class. A half barrel Is not
very attractive in itself, but It's lack Of
beauty may be concealed by plants, or IL
may be sunk its depth in the earth. When
1t contains fno specimen Of some aquatic
plant, we will forget all about Its lack Of
grace. When preparing for these plants,
put in rich black mud from the bod OF
streams or muck from swamps to the
depth of foot; then plant your roots In 1t
and fill with water. Add enough water
from time to time to make up for that
which is lost by evaporation and give the
tub sunny place In the yard or garden.
If you want to grow more plants than one
tub will accommodate, 1t Is q good plan to
take four, five, six, or as many as you may
decide on, and have them sunk In the
ground close together, so that the general
effect will be something like that which a
largo tank would give. A better plan,
though more expensive one to carry out,
Is to have tank constructed of heavy
planks. These should be securely bolted
at the ends and the joints made tight by
white lead In tho grooves. Ladies' Home

Lesson For the Week Beginning April -
Comment by Rev. w. J. Yates. A. NJ
Topic. The Guide Divine.


SCRIPTURE READIN0.-Luke 4. 2J-2s; Joha
v. 30; Math. XII, OLA.
The value of the Christian Scriptures
10 a person depends largely upon what
he seeks TO find in them. Poetry, his
tory. chronology. philosophy, natural
science, ethics and much besides are con-
tanned there. But IL one searches only
for these no will quite likely be mis-
led. The purpose Of the Bible is TO
guide men in holy and right living, TO
bring them to right religious relations.
In this realm it has no rival Al the
rest of the sacred books OF the world
are insignificant in comparison ana are
blind guides. Here is light and life for
the soul 1.-The Holy Scriptures contain
all things necessary to salvation, so that
whatsoever is not read therein nor may
be proved thereby is not to be required
Of any man that it should be believed
as an article OF faith or be thought
requisite or necessary to salvation. :"
This is the teaching of the Methodist
Episcopal church in her fifth article Of
religion, and is one Of the best state
ments of the nature of the Bible. It
shuns all the controversy regarding the
"infallibility" of the book, and places
emphasis where it belongs To the end
Of time men can debate and dispute
about the nature and measure Of inspi-
ration. Controversy can ever be kept
alive over the errors and discrepancies
Of the text, but if any one wishes TO be
saved and know God in the forgiveness
of his sins. all these curious questions
become Of little Importance and their
difficulty presents no hindrance to his
search. He finds the Bible all clear and
sufficient for his need. To every earnest
seeker after righteousness the Scriptures
commend themselves as the all sufficient
guide to God. The law Of life is plain
from Deuteronomy to the gospels, from
Genesis TO Revelation. 1t is unchanged
and Interchangeable. 1t is the same on
Christ's lips as on the lips of Moses.
'Thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart and with all thy soul
and with all thy strength and thy neigh
Dor as thyself." If one wishes eternal
life and knowledge of the Divine One,
here is the sure guide.
