cry. Now the dynamo is the pulpit.
Lst each pulpit apply it's power to the
extent of one sermon each year devoted
to showing the advantage and reasona-
bleness of the method, and to explaining
it, and see what would come of it!
3. just little sympathy with plan
capable of such expansion as the Cent
a-Day plan, expressing itself in little
time given to it in each parish. would
solve our financial problem in a twelve
month.
4. Our resources as a church are not
all financial. We have great resources
of faith and love and life. If we availed
ourselves of these resources, as it is our
privilege and should be our delight. we
should do more work and get more
money. Doing much waits on believing
much and loving much. l plead not for
credulity, nor for confidence in chimeras.
l plead for that kind of trust in the
eternal verities-in God. in righteous
ness, in heaven which leans on them and
lives in them. When we have thus
given ourselves to our great and holy
cause. we shall not fail to give to it
whatever it needs of our substance.

THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES OF
THE UNIVERSALIST CHURCH.
BY I. M. ATWOOD, DID.

brief of remarks made at the Syracuse Con-
ference.l
Sandy having often alluded to Latham
as "a man of resources he was pressed
by the parson to define what he meant
by "a man of resources" After a mo-
ment's reflection he rose to the occasion
with this brief and lucid exposition:
"a man of resources is one as has prop
erty as nobody can get" When this
topic was assigned me l wondered
whether some of the resources of the
Universalist Church are not of the same
elusive description.
The resources of our Church may be
viewed in three ways: l. Its Actual re-
sources. shown by possession. 2. Its
Possible resources, shown by calcula-
tion. 3. Its Available resources, proved
to be attainable by what has been at
tanned.
l. The Actual financial resources of
the Universalist Church may be exhib-
tied first as plant; second as product.
1. Tie largest item in the Plant is the
Parish Property, amounting now to
s9,250,00O. Next in importance is our
School properties, including that of our
4 colleges. theological seminaries and
0schools of inferior grades, sggregating
100000. To this succeeds the item of
the funds held by the General Conven
tion (s27l .0O0) and by the various State
Conventions and auxiliary societies

In presenting this paper no claim for

forth have been in successful operation

look forward with glad confidence that

nowhere more beautifully than in
WEAKNESS:
"Oh little fee that such long years
Must wander on through hopes and fears.
Must ache and bleed beneath your load;
1. nearer to the wayslde inn
Where toll shall cease, and rest begin,

His sense of the nearness of the
dead is fully expressed in Haunted
Houses, from which l will quote but
a verse:
"The spirit world around this world of sense
Floats like an atmosphere, and everywhere
Watts through these earthly mists and vapors
dense
A vital breath of more ethereal air."
In great contrast to the cheerful
thought of our dear dead poet are
some of the utterances of Matthew

The Name montana"

1t was the late James NJ. Ashley who
gave Montana its name. telling his fel-
low congressman that it meant a noun
tainous country when they cautiously
said it was a mere cOnglomeration of
letters constituting no word. Joaquin
Miller says that Montana has the only
classic name In the constellation of
states, but W. Il. Sanders. librarian of
the Montana Historical Society. thinks
this not strictly true, saying that al
though the word is originally derived
from Latin root 1t is really Spanish,
and pronounced "Mon-tah-nah." As to
the Significance OF the word, Mr.. San
ders adds. no other one would so well
describe the Typographical characters
tics OF the state, for, with the ranges
and spurs and isolated groups of
mountains, the State Of Montana is in
deed a mountainous country.-Philadel-

A REMARKABLE ROSE TREE.
Measures Sixty Feet in Circumfer
cncc and Is sun Growing.

.nce and Is SUI Growing.
A remarkable rose tree grows in the
garden of the Chateau Eleonore, in
Cannes. the summer residence of Lord
Brougham, nephew of the famous
chancellor. The plant is n variety of
the tea rose known rs Marie van
Houthe Though only six years old. it
already measures siXty-seven feet in
circumference, and will, If permitted,
grow very much larger. Lord Brou-
CHAM attributes its extraordinary di-
mensions principally to the soil, which
cosists of rich loan of great depth;
and also to the liberal way in which
its appetite for manure is satisfied.
This tree is planted on the slope which
descends from the house to the mnin
road. 1t is of interest to recall the
fact that the Chateau Eieonore was the
first winter residence built at Cannes.
which, it may indeed be said was lit
eralIy "discovered' by Chancellor
Brougham, uncle of the present owner,
while in the beautiful garden not far
from the gigantic rose bush, is still to
be seen the tree beneath the shadow of
which the great chancellor used to sit
toward the evening of his busy life.
The chateau itself remains much as 1t
was when he lived in it; but the gar
dens have been greatly extended and
improved. now containing fine collec-
tion Of palms, cocos, shrubs ana all
sorts of flowers. The gardens are,
however, specially yamous for their

NEW GUNS FOR THE GERMANS.
The Army Camp Has some Interesting
EXperimpnta

experiments.
The new German camp at Malmedy,
close to the Belgian frontier, has at
tracted special attention owing to the
experiments lately carried on there,
says Revue du Cercle Militaire. The
object of the experiments was to try
the effect on field Notifications of the
new guns with which the German foot
artillery" has lately been equipped.
The guns in question are six-inch
howitzer guns and eight and one-quar-
ter-inch mortars. 1t Is intended to
utilize some Of these guns in the at
tack and defense of positions, In which
respect they would play a considerable
role, seeing that the defense nova
days dfsposes Of better means of resist
ance than formerly. The obstacles in
front of the line of defense will be in
creased, natural points of vantage will,
to a greater extent, be utilized and i'm
proved upon by means of portable ar
NOR. screens built up with heavy rail-
way rails. ETC., shelters will be pro-
vided, against which ordinary field ar
tillery will be powerless, but they will
not resist the heavy projectiles thrown
with a very high trajectory from these
guns. The object of the trials in ques-
tion was to determine the best mode OF
use of these guns, more especially the
mortars, against Notifications OF an
analogous nature to the so-called forts
darret protecting great part of the
French frontier. At the same time
experiments were also made with
view tn datnrmfnipp tho off iciapcy ~

IN It's zeal for the cause which 1t has so

journal has dropped into a funny
error Deploring the sad incongrui-
ties. our contemporary refers to two
supposed army surgeons, belonging to
the Royal Sussex regiment, who died
IN Egypt, who are, 1t is stated, mem
'ioned on monument at Brighton
merely as "prs. So-and-So," their
names being placed between the Lance

Every soldier will, of course, see at

out. the "Drs." are not doctors" but
drummers. It Is In this way that the
friends Of those army surgeons who
glory only In the military half OF their
double-barreled titles. make their cause
ridiculous, for they quite seem to forget
that 1t is the other half of those titles
py which they won their commissions
and earn their pay. 1t is stated that
