Don't abuse paper unless you pay
for it. Borrowers are the greatest fault
finders a newspaper has to contend with.
Don't expect a paper to abuse the
town government for your especial ben
eft.
Don't take paper out of the post
office for five years and then refuse to
pay for it because you never subscrib-
ed for it n0how." You could have re-
fused it four years and eleven months
before,
Don't get mad il your visitors name
does not appear IN the personal columns.
Perhaps you did not tell the editor );
he's not a mind reader.
Don't stop paper if your three col

eight lines The condenser may have
done you great favor.
Don't cuss the editor because MS
opinions do not conform to yours. II
they did he might be at variance with
some eight or ten thousand other per-
sons.
Don't delay paying your subscription
because it is a small matter. It all the
subscribers did the same way it would
kill the paper in six months.
Don't get mad If the editor holds up
your communication a few days. He
is the best judge when there is room
for it. And don't get mad if he does
not print it. He know. or ought to
know, whether it is best to publish it
or not

The Bible makes it the duty Of the
christian church to give the world the
gospel. This being true, the question
Of methods is of prime importance. To
carry out this command 1t is said that
the apostles event everywhere preach
ing the gospel Paul was the great
missionary-the chief apostle to the
| Gentlles" All through the christian
era there have been great Sauls, and
thee have always been missionry in
spirit and practice. But for the work
of such men and the poorly organized
efforts of the Moravians, the church
Of England and others, there was no
dlstlnctiyely missionary work until the
latter part Of the eighteenth century
The Wesleyan Missionary Society
was formally organized in 1854 and
missionaries sent to tho Isle of Jersey
In 1885 to Newfoundland and Nova
Scotia. In 1888 additional missiona-
ries were sent TO the West Indies. Mis-
sionaries had been sent to destitute sec
tions Of England and Ireland in 1856.
and to America in 1863
The foundation Of the Baptist Mis-
sionary Society was laid in 1892 when
Baptist ministers retired to the little
parlor Of the widow Betsey " allace, and
contributed 12t. IS Cd, under the
leadership Of William Carey, who was
their first and doubtless greatest mis-
sionarv. He went to India the follow
Ing year.
The London Missionary Society was
founded in 1895. This was composed
OF the representatives of different
churches and was the immediate friend
of Carey Bengal Mission.
Then followed the Glasgow Mission
ary Society, the Chnrch Missionary
Society, the Bible and Pure Literature
Society all IN 1899. These were fol-
towing other Missionary Societies in
England and Scotland
In the United States, "The Ameri-
can Board Of Foreign Mlssions" 1910,
American Baptist Union" IN 1914,
Methodist Episcopal Society" in 1919.
The dates Of organization of Mission
Boards in Presbyterian, Protestant
Episcopal and some of the other
churches, | fail to find. They are, how
ever. about the same age of the other
Missionary Boards.
1t will be seen from above Cd That
all Missionary churches have Mission
ary Boards who direct the Missionary
work at home and abroad, that grew
out Of small beginning upon the part
of few Missionary Spirits. (2) That
the distinctlvely Missionary Spirits Of
the christian church only dates from
the last years of the eighteenth centu
ry and is therefore about one hundred
years Old In subsequent articles |
shall give some accounts of the results
Of the faith and toll of these missiona-
rv heroes, and show that the last has
been by far the most prosperous centu-
ry of the chrch's history.

VIII Manhattar Island Sink?

Nc1p York Dispatch.
Manhattan Islant is composed o,
Gneiss rock. The rock lies at an angle
or dip of 30 degrees. 1t IS naturally a
scaIy rock, very poro1s and absorbs wa
ter at times and places. 1t is noticea-
bic that the rock is sgradually rotting
ang crumbling and it can only be a
question of time beore the island will
begin to sink. Cue IS rock flakes easi-
" and every jar on the island causes
the structure to tall off IN places, which
fact adds to the dancer from rot. The
marvellous increase OF the habItatlOns
Of man adds annually to the enormous
weight the Island has to sustain. Ev-
cry building which increases this
weight and also the importance of the
city, tends surely to the future destruc-
ton Of the metropolis. New York will
not be the first cit to find place in
the bottom of the ,ea. There are many
historic cities now beneath the waves
