NEEDED-ANOTHER CONVEX
SION.

Do not most Christians need an
other conversion9 Certainly this
must be true if we are to reckon all
the members of our churches as
Christians. For only small part of
them are doing much if anything for
Christ, are bearing witness to his
power to save, are making themselves
felt on the side of righteousness, are
manifesting concern for the salvation
of others. Only a few put Christ and
his church first in the arrangement
of their plans, the management of
their money, the disposition of their
time. They have more or less fallen
away from their first love. They
surely need renewal. And this re-
newal of their primary conservation,
which has been lost sight of in the
rush Of life, may be attended with so
much increased light and be marked
by so great an uplift, that it may per-
b 'ps, with propriety, DC called a
SIC ,md conversion.
There may be as great change,
in consequence of it, from the life
they had been for sometime living,
as there was when first they found
the Lord. And the change, what
ever name be given it, is unquestion-
ably demanded in the interests both
of usefulness and happiness. Our
churches greatly need more mem
bers who are dead in earnest to be
good and to do good.-Zion's Her
aid.

Anglican Orders Repudiated.

Those who have watched the con-
troversy going on in England with
reference to the validity of Anglican
orders from the Roman Catholic
standpoint will not be surprised that,
according to a dispatch from Rome,
the Pope has issued a pronounce
ment in which he says: "After long
study, | must confirm the DEGREES of
my predecessors that all ordinations
made under the Anglican rite are
absolutely invalid" In view of this
attitude of the supreme head of the
Roman Catholic Church, which is
the practical reputation of all
claims to validity set up by the An
glicans, the situation becomes anus
ing. The Anglicans refuse to ac-
knowledge the validity of non-An-
glican orders, save the Roman, and
now their own claims are pronounced
invalid. The announcement of the
Pope must be source of amusement
to the English Non conformists, who
have suffered many Inconvenience
and disabilities because of the over
bearing and even arrogant spirit
manifested toward them by many
Anglicans, who, boasting in the sup
posed validity of their orders, have
seemed to say, II am better than
thou"

THE RECENT CAMPAIGN.

The campaign furnished lesson
on excitement. Speakers were not
afraid to excite their audiences and
audiences were not afraid to be ex-
cited. Men who MORALLY dread the
excitement of religious revival
shouted themselves hoarse at politi-
cal meetings. Solemn as owls in re-
ligious matters, they were screaming
eagles when it was their party's day.
As DIR. Watson says in his sermon on
THE Urgency of the Gospel" "There
is no shame in exc tement until you
come to religion. Then a man can
hardly bear it to be known that he
is excited. And yet if man ought
to be excited about anything, surely
it ought to be about the things that
belong TO the soul and the horizon of
the soul and the future of the soul.
The greatest excitement in the world
is that which moves the soul to faith
in the Kingdom of God"
But the campaign has furnished no
more important lesson than that of
the value of the work of the laity.
The untiring industry shown by
many men who made no speeches
from the platform was amazing. Al
it day end night by spreading liter
allure, by planning meetings, by writ
ing letters and by discussion in sea
sen and out of season, they have de-
monstrated in a great way what can
be done by zeal for cause. With
out these laymen to supplement their
efforts, public speakers would have
found thier work seriously handi-
capped. The example is one which

An Old Cambridge School.

From the age of eight to that of
thirteen l went to the school of Will
liam Wells. an institution then re-
garded as-with the possible excep.
ton of the Boston Latin School-the
best place in which to fit for Harvard
College, and therefore much sought
by the best Boston families. Mr..
Wells was an Engli ,hman of the old
stamp, erect, vigorous, manly, who
abhorred mean or cowardly boy as
he did a false quantity. The school
was survival of type which still
fingers, l fancy, in the British prov
inces, honest and genuine, mainly
physical in its discipline, and quite
brutal as to it's boyish life and ways.
Being day-scholar only, l escaped
something of the coarseness and act
ual Generalization which existed
there; and thanks to an elder brother,
the strongest boy in the school, l
went free of the frequent pommeling
visited on the smaller boys. will
not go so far as lay schoolmate, the
late Charles G. Perkins, who used
simply to say of it, when questioned
by his young sons, my dears, it was
hell;" but even as day-scholar re-
call some aspects of it with hearty
loathing, and am glad that it was my
happy lot to have come no nearer.
The evil was, however, tempered by
a great deal of wholesome athletic
activity, which Mr.. Wells encour-
aged; there was perpetual playing
of ball and of fascinating running
games; and we were very likely to
have an extra half holiday when
skating or coasting was good.-Col.
T. w. HtgginSon, IN the November
Atlantic.
