cHuncH coNyENrIoNs.

Representative bodies of several of the
great religious organizations of the ooun-
try are in annual session just now TO
consider the great interests in their charge
and to promote in q general way their
work and widen the beneficent influences
which enanate from il. Their delibera-
tions aud actions are of interest 10 all in
tclligent men, regardless of denomination.
for the aim ana purpose of all is to ma Ike
the world better and men happier. 1t is
not at all strange that they differ in their
views as TO the best means to attain the
desired end, for though there is ouly one
great principle underlying all that which
we call religion, the manner and method of
applying it in and TO the lives of men
must necessarily vary according to the
preconceived ideas and the teachings they
themselves received
Nor is il surprising that in each religious
organization there should arise, in course
of time, differences of opinion OF a more
or less radical nature, Tor necessarily the
workings of individual minds cannot be
expected to tend always in the same drec-
ton. Taking the Christian religion as the
most prominent example, it is found that
almost from its very beginning there have
been schisms which grew and developed
aud have at last resulted in the many de
nominations OF this day. No one will con
tend that the underlying principle of the
Christian religion has been in the least
affected or changed by these divergent
views; it is quite probable that the cause
OF religion generally has been Benefited
and promoted by it. Every he " denomina-
ton, every new sect is inspired by new
zeal, aud labors with redoubed energy in
the new field it has entered.
1t s noticeable in the deliberations Of
the several great conventions now as
sembled that a larger and more catholic
spirit dominates them. Greater liberality
OF thought Is distinguishing feature, and
though, of course, narrow views crop out
here and there, and opinions are expressed
and action taken that are neither Chris
tian-like nor in harmony with the spirit of
the age, yet they are the exception rather
than the rule Taken as a whole all
these bodies appear to incline TO take into
account that in the Church as in all other
things that deal with human life. Times
Change and we change with them" While
adherrng to cardinal doctrines they seem
to be disposed TO make allowance for diff
ference Of Interpretation, and to make con-
cessions for the sake or peace and harmony,
rather than by strict insstence provoke
strife and dissension. Christianity will
unquestionably profit from such a course,
for it is in accordance with the injunction
of the Great Founder, whose sole motive
and object was to make men better and
happier.

Remarkable Deer Antlers.

A most remarkable pair Of deer an!lers Is
reported from Bellefonte, Pa. A local paper
got itself into disrepute because it said a
deer with twenty-three prongs'' had been
killed in Center county. 1t had photo

called fake The antlers are twenty six
inches long, spread sixteen inches, longest
prong eleven inches, and circumference of
horn at the burr six and onohalf inches, 1t
the broadest place, eight and one-half
inches, and the head and horns weighed
fifteen pounds. The deer weighed 23S
pounds. Three prongs five inehes long
came out at the burr OF each horn Eleven
points were on the left and twelve on the
right antler. 1t was killed by Robert Mann.
This deer differed greatly from one killed
by jeff Worden, OF Wheelertown, Her
kimer county, N. Y, a year ago. Worden's
buck weighed 100 pounds and had a head
and horns that weighed more than It's

QUEEN yICTORIA'S BIRTHDAY.

Today is the seventy y-seventh anniver-
sary of the birth of England's queen.
II two years more OF life are granted
her she VIII have reigned three score
years and Will have been on the throne.
longer than any other British sovereign.
That she acccded to throne and has been
permitted to occupy it so long is a Provi-
dental disposition, but for the purity OF
her public and private life, for her sus-
tanning always the truest and best ideals
of womanhood. for setting the noblcst eX-
ample of wifehood and motherhood to
all her subjects, all the credit is hers. She
has done her duty to her country, to her
people, TO her family. OF her it can be
said what cannot be affirmed of many OF
the queens of history, that she was faithful
to the highest principles OF honor in every
act of her public and private life.
The power OF the sovereign of Great
Britain is very circumscribed; the President
of the United states exercises Il
far more powerful influence upon
the affairs of state and can shape legisla-
ton far more readily than the queen. Vic
toria has not been called upon TO direct the
policies of her vast empire, but the dignity
and modesty of her conduct through all the
years of her reign have placed upon her
brow a jewel much brighter than any that
glitters in her crown-the stamp of the
nobility of true womanhood. On the slip
perry steps of the throne her feet have never
faltered; amid the temptations of the court
she has kept the straight and narrow path
uns wervingly. Every Britain has a right
to be proud of her, and every woman the
world over may take Victoria safely as a
model in every phase of womans life.

THE CENTENNIAL OF JENNER

Just Que hundred years ago last Thurs
day DIR. Edward Jenner gave to the world
his great discovery for the prevention of
smallpox. Before his day incubation was
practically unknown, and whenever the
dread plague fell upon people they lived
or died just as chance would have it. Vac
cination has changed all that. In the one
hundred years since the first application
fifty million lives are believed to have been
saved by 1t. OF course, there was opposi-
ton and deiision. There always has been
whenever a new invention or great dis
covery has seen the light OF day. 1t has
not ceased even at this day. Even now
there are people who dispute the virtue Of
vaccination and lay the decrease OF fataIi-
ties from smallpox to the general improve
meut in sanitation.
Undoubtedly more perfect sanitation has
had a share in ma king smallpox less fatal
than it used to be, butth same thing ma
be said with regard to every contagious
disease. Sanitation has lessened the num-
Der OF deaths from yellow fever, cholera.
diphtheria, typhoid fever. and dozen
other maladies that mightbe named. That,
however, detracts nothing from the value
and Importance of vaccination, nor takes
one iota of fame and glory from Jenner' S
memory.
Save in Germany there has been no
public celebration of the centennial of
Jenuer's first incubation, but it is no
more than right to call attention TO the
event. Not many men Can have it said of
them that they saved millions of human
lives, and he Of whom this may be averred.
without exaggeration, is surely worthy q
the remembrance Of mankind.

I IlCE PRESIDENT STEVENSON tells a
\ good story when he starts in, and
that is one reason why he is such

last taken it upon himself to die The
minister was very much enibarra ssed, he
couldn't well refuse to serve and he scarcely
knew what to say. A last he concluded %
do the best he could.
"A great crowd gathered a the funeral
and the good old Baptistzbrother ia * ed
as carefully as possible. But a strict ad-
herence to the truth made it necessary that
some reference to the future must be made
and he hoped that the deceased was not
suffering in the torments bis conduct on
earth had so evidently fitted him for. That
was the best he could say.
After he finished a woman in the con-
gregatiou arose and said she had message
from the deceased brother to deliver She
was spiritualist aud the brother wanted
his friends and acquaintances to know
that he was not in torment. He found the
future would be very comfortable place
He then proceeded, through the medium,
to rake the minister over the Goals.
AT the next meeting of the official bod y
Of the church the minister told the officials
that he thought il was about time for
him TO leave.
