At one place the trapdoor through which
he disappears in the fifth act refused to
work, and, to use his expression, "his
plume stood erect.

excited tone.
There was an awful pause for mo-
ment, when away in the gallery some
body sung out:
Holy Moses, hell's FULL"
At another time. while breakfasting
at hotel, he noticed that the colored
waiter who brought him his meal kept
staring at him. He told tho waiter that
he might go. when need you, he
added, II will send for you. ="
"Need me?" exclaimed the waiter in

A MISSIONARY DIyERriON.
How Preachers OF the Gospel are RE

Town.

WIsHAw, Lanarkshire, Scotland,
October 10TH, 1896.
To the Editor;
A few days ago Elders T w. Jones,
William Mcmillan, Robert Cameron,
and myself walked about two miles to
little village called ''Moss Bank
Square," with the intention OF tracing
1t. Brother Mcmillan and commenced
at the first houses we came TO, while
Brothers Jones and Cameron went
through to the other side and tracteJ
towards the center OF the town, where
they expected to meet Us. When we
met had every one OF my tracts lett,
and | did not have to take second
look to see that the others were in the
same condition. We then walked TO
the outer edge OF the town to talk over
theiadvisabiIity of holding an open-air
meeting about the center OF the town,
for things were commencing to look
rather warm near where we met.
On the way TO the outskirts Brother
Jones espied a few bouses he had
missed and turned in that direction say
ing, ''I'll give them chance with the
rest"
The rest OF us had gone but short
distance farther when we met the
Catholic priest coming down the street.
Brother Mcmillan, not wishing to slight
him, asked him II he would accept
Gospel tract" to which he said "No
thanks" and passed on. Brother
Cameron then gave description OF the
way he was received at one house.
He said, after going TO about thirty
doors little girl answered my rap. /
handed her a tract and asked her TO
give 1t to her mamma. | then started
for the next door, rejoicing to think
had got rid OF one, but before reached
1t, the mother OF the girl hailed me and
told me to- take my tract as she had no
use for it, and Tor ME to get out OF
there or would get into trouble"
Just then we heard quite a commo
ton down the road, and on looking in
that direction saw about twenty "bare.
headed and barefooted" women con.
gregated on the corner, with Brother
Jones standing short distance from
them, talking. The firstwe could UNI
derstand OF what was being said was
Brother Jones saying. 81 will be back in
few days and leave you another"
One oil the women shouted We'll
warn you to not come back here again.
Brother Jones then said, ''Well come
and preach to you also next time -
The woman answered, of you do, well
stone YOU" Another shouted, Insult

many questions, which we're answered
to their satisfaction. One Of the men
said. "The only way we can get around
these men is to deny the Bible" We
made many friends, sold some copies
of the Voice OF Warning, and gave
away many tracts.
From that time all seemed TO go on
smooth with us. The next Sunday we
got hall, and held tvo fine meetings
We also had money given us, so we
were able to pay our hotel bill, and
although the people would not take us
into their homes and keep us over night,
they would give us money enough to

After we got the city tracked we went

And as TO the tendency of the growth
Of great cities to enervate nations, there
is no proof of it at all unless We identi-
fy the life of great cities with the pas
sion for idleuess and pleasure and self
indulgence. which sometimes, but by
no means universally, accompanies their
growth. When you get large prol-
etariat living, as that of ancient Rome
and possibly Of Nineveh and Babylon
did, on the aims of the rich ard power
full, then no doubt you have the condi-
lions of thoroughly unnatural and un-
healthful life, and no one can wonder at
the rapid decay of such cities and of
the nations which gloried in them. But
where the honest working class far out
number the proletariat, where the mid
die classes Of distributors and manufac-
turers and professional men are labo-
rious and energetic, and even the class
that lives on its accumulated wealth
contains considerable sprinkling Of
serious and disinterosted workers, we
do not believe that there is the smallest
evidence of any greater danger in the
life of the agricultural village or the
pastoral tribe. Indeed, we should regard
Olive Schreiner's picture of the life Of
the modern Beers as indicating u condi.
ton of things more prolific Of morbid
elements, with its almost complete alb
sence of any stirring or active intelli-
genoe. than any kind of modern life
that is honestly laborious at all. The
Boer life is too sleepy, too destitute of
stirring thought or effort, TO be alto.
