SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

IAN English vicar has been sent 70
jail for year at Birmingham for con.
tempt of court.
"A Yorkshire vicar who quarreled
with the squire of the parish has been
put under boycott by the latter. He
can obtain neither food nor lodging
in the village, the shopkeepers refuse
to sell him their wares, and he Is Obliged
to clean the church, light the lamps and
ring the bells himself.
According to recent statistics Of
the Presbyterian church baptism has
relatively decreased very largely in the
past rs years. During that period the
membership of the church has grown
40 per cent, the number of adult bap.
tisms 1873 per cent, while the number of
infant baptisms has increased less than
70 per cent.
All students of missions know that
the Moravians far excel all other bodies
OF Christians in their devotion to the
cause of missions. The Friends arc
credited with the second place in honor.
and it is said that in proportion to their
numbers they send more missionaries
to the foreign field than any other de-
nomination. In Great Britain about
one in $50 of the whole membership, or
one in 166 of the adult members, is a
missionary.
