SCHOOL AND U

Rev. J. c. Plumb has recently bei
come pastor of the Congregational
church in Joplin, Mo-, for the third time
since its organization.
An effort is to be made this year
to raise the minimum salary received
by the ministers Of the United Meth
odist churches of England.
-Schoolma'ams are getting the up
per hand in Great Britain. While 20
years g there were 1876 male teach
ers to 14,901 female, last year the num-
bers were 26,270 men and 6G,31O ONE
Mrs. c. H. Surgeons little tract:
"a Protest Against Bazars," states
that many English pastors and their
wives consider the baZar "a bondage
and a burden" The unexpected sale of
10000 copies appears to confirm Mrs.
Surgeons thesis.
Cardinal Satolli denies indignant
ly the recent report that he has learned
to ride a wheel. He says: 81 never
scorched a mile in my life, because I
never rode on the wheel. The clergy
in Rome are prohibited from riding a
wheel, except those priests engaged in
parochial work"
Scotland is about to enter into the
delights of a Presbyterian controversy
over the Higher Criticism" in Biblical
study. The divinity students at Aber-
deem university, disappearing of the
teachings of DR.. David Johnston, tho
orthodox professor of Biblical criti-
cism, who denounced the higher criti-
cism in his lectures, and having failed
to convert him by disorder in the class
room, shufflirg their feet when he
prayed and throwing Bibles at his head,
complained before the university court
of the lack of method in his teaching.
The court has decided that their
charges are proved and recommends
that the professor be retired. AS he is
appointed by the CROWN, there are diff
culties in The way, so that all the ele-
ments for a pretty and lasting theolog.
zeal fight are at hand

Latter's Dilemma.
A clergyman was standing at the cor
ner of a square in the city on Thanks
giving day about the hour of dinner,
says the Philadelphia American, when
one of his countrymen, observing the
worthy father in perpleXity, thus adj
dressed him:
'Oh, Father O'Leary, how is your
r~iverence?"
Mighty put out, Pat" was the re-
ply.
Put out-who'd put out your river

"Ah; you don't understand; that is
