But the bombardment in some places
must have been terrible. / have seen
tracts of land, once smooth and fertile
plantations, now covered with the great
rugged stones so that you have to pick
your way among them as you pass
Many of them are four or five feet
broad. OF course, these are only the
larger stones; the little ones were
buried under the soil.
Stones seem to have fallen all through
the eruption, sometimes in one place
sometimes in another. Not long after
the first expulsion Of smoke, a negro
boy was tending goats on a hillside;
have seen the place often. Suddenly a
small stone fell near him, and then an
other He thought that some of his
playmates were pelting him from the
bushes and so began to throw stones
in return But the contest was too un-
equal, for it was the mountain that was
throwing stones at him; and ere long he
fed in terror, leaving the goats to their
fate.

Increase of Religious Denominations.

If the remarkable increase in the
number of religious denominations in
the United States during the past half
century could be regarded as an ac-
curate index of Christian progress we
might f1atter ourselves that We are fast
becoming God-like Nation. The cen-
sus of 1850 reported only twenty-seven
religious denominations while in 1890
the number had grown to 143 of which
twenty-five had their origin in this
country. The Catholic church is both
the largest and richest, having a MEN,
bership i'm the United Safes of over
5000, 900 and property valued at $ll8,-
100000. In forty years the number Of
churches increased from 38, 900 to l65 900
and in the past twenty an increase of
80 per cent in the value of church prop
erty is noted. The largest percentage
of increase in the past twenty years is
credited to the Lutherans, while in the
past ten years the Jews made the
largest gain having added 26O per cent
to the number. Referring to the in
crease of denominations cold and new"
above noted the editor of an Eastt rn
journal of liberal religion, says it is
"probably due to number of causes,
among which the following may be
given as the most prominent:
First. Our peculiarly complex civil
ization, all nations of people being
represented by their various shades of
religious theory aud practice.
Second. The absence of restraint in
religious matters afforded by our gov
eminent and traditions, allowing alb
solute freedom III the expression of
opinion and fostering originality in
organization.
Third. The comparatively mobile
and unsettled state of our society,
coupled with characteristic spirit of
eternal progress and improvement"
