BIBLE SOCIETIES WORK.
Report of the Distribution of Test
amenta In Russia.

The American Bible Society. which has
aided the st. Petersburg Society for the
propagation of the Holy Scriptures in
Russia, has received a special report, ex-
pressing its high appreciation of the gen
erous help which the American Society
has accorded during the last sixteen
wears. The propagation of the Holy
SCRIPTURES in Asiatic Russia was the ar
dent desire of the Russian Bible Society,
but the want of means prevented it's
accomplishment Now this has been at
tanned. The devoted colporteurs of the
Russian Bible Society nave travelled
through Siberia, visiting not only the
towns. but also the settlements, gold
diggings, and convict prisons. They
were everywhere received with joy and
gratitude. They penetrated into the
regions of the Amoor, and into the
Island of Saghalien, which is a convict
station, and also into the Oossoori regions.
Lastly, they reached Turkestan, where
the Russian soldiers met them with joy,
eagerly buying their books, especially
along the remote Afghan frontier. In this
manner Ill, 900 copies of the Holy Scrip
lures were distributed in Asiatic Russia
on the subsidy of the American Bible So
ciety in the course of sixteen years.
The Russian Society has cheapened and
gratuitously distributed the Holy Scrip
lures Go the amount of about one thou
sand dollars annually on the account of
the subsidy of the American Bible Soci-
ety. In this manner over 100000 copies
If the Scriptures were sold at reduced
prices and given away in the period
above mentioned in both Asiatic and
European Russia. With the construction
nary expenses for sending colporteurs to
Siberia will cease, but 1t Is most desira-
Bile that the sale of certain of the most
sought for kinds of Gospels and Testa-
ments should be continued.

TIE Sunday baseball trial, yesterday,
shows the proportion in which the popu-
batlon of this county are opposed TO blue
law enforcement 1t is at least two to
one.
OF course the vote of the jury should
not be regarded as a license to make Sun
CAV baseball a nuisance and an offence to
strict Sabbatarians. Sunday baseball is
not necessarily a bad thing. Indeed. we
regard 1t as healthful and harmless, a
GOOD antidote to idleness and liquor
Drinking. But it should be practiced with
some degree Of seclusion. as it were.
Neither the vicinity of a church nor the
heart OF a residence neighborhood should
be selected for the game.
But the meadow fats down town. and
the vacant lots along the Boulevard. re-
mote from dwellings. are suitable places,
and we hope the boys will remain un
disturbed In the enjoyment of their game,
so long as they confine themselves to
these localities.

The National Council of the Brother
hood of st. Andrew has Just decided to
try next year the experiment OF a mid,
simmer convention. The orders annual
meetings nave heretofore been held in
October, the forthcoming one, an inter
national one. to be held in Buffalo Oeto-
ber.13 to is. The cities wanting to enter
tain this meeting next year are Baltimore
and Cincinnati, neither ideal to visit in
July.
Another distraction has overtaken the
Church Army. The Boston part of It
asked to be allowed to go it alone, and
was permitted to do so. A Church Army
Association of Massachusetts has been
formed, with President e. B. Sears, OF
the Second National Bank, at its head.
The cause of these numerous changes is
not that the Church Army fails. 1t is
not an imitation of the Salvation Army
nor of the Volunteers. 1t keeps pretty
close to Episcopal traditions and methods
and has met with success in all directions.
The trouble with it is in the central man

The Antl-Everyshing Element i
Bayonne.

The Women's Christian Temperance
Union has started a crusade to make the
Boulevard as unattractive as possible as
q pleasure resort by closing up all the
houses of entertainment and refreshment
which have sprung up along it They
have addressed this petition to the Mayor
of Bayonne:-
The undersigned respectfully request
you, as the Chief Executive of the city
Of Bayonne, to enforce the laws of the
State of New Jersey and the ordinances
of the said city, for the proper oosefVs
the week, commonly called Sunday, par
ticularly with reference TO the SAFE OF IN,
toxieating liquors, the playing OF oasepali
formances at the public resorts on or
near the Boulevard, which are bringing
the name of our city and most OF IT'S au-
know how persistently those avs n Or
dinanee are violated.
munity is so great that it is to be feared
these women may succeed in their un-
dertaking. If they do, a great and grow
ing source of property value will be lost
to Bayonne.
We pointed out more h a year ago
that there was a great opportunity for
an amusement resort, which would rival
Coney Island. along the shores of Newark
Bay and the Kill Won KulL. As we ex-
uected. the business of catering to the
holiday-making public has grown and
prespered- Everything from the restaur-
ant of pretension down to the humble
saltwater stand, from the regularly or
ganized variety theatre Town to the five
cent merry-go-round, has found its place
there, and made money. The CONSOLIDATE
ed Traction Company, seeing its oppor-
tunity, has run extra cars: but the pub
lie appreciation of the place has been so
great that the evening and Sunday
crowds have exceeded its ability to carry
them.
Now, is the women's Christian Temper
ance Union to step in with its excessive
and misguided zeal, and put d stop to
the whole business7 Is his organization,
In the narrowness of its spirit. to say to
fifty thousand people, who go down to
Bayonne for pleasure every week, Thou
shalt NOT? Is it to restore the places
which are now mirthful to the condition
of a n wastes? Is it to send enterprise
and capital out of the county to Staten
Island and Bath Beach and elsewhere?
The allegation in the petition which we
quote that there are shameful perform
ances'' at any of the Boulevard resorts
is. we believe, one of those reckless false
hoods to which the truly good are prone,
when they draw on their -imaginations to
make out a case. If there are any i'm
proprieties, we will join with the Wom-
ems Christian Temperance Union or any
one else-in fact, we will go ahead of
them in laboring for the suppression of
the evil, But. in this case, we do not
believe they exist. and, if they do, we
should refuse to confound the innocent
and the guilty in a wholesale condemna-
ton
In commenting on this petition. we can
not help wondering whether any mem
her of this anti-enjoyment organization
was instrumental in having the pump,
which was such a source of innocent re-
freshmen to Boulevard wheelnen, aboi-
fshed?
